Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl, came out Friday, and Instagram isn’t going to shake it off. The social media app is rolling out a brand-new Stories feature, and Swift’s account was the first to get to try it.
The feature, called Add Yours Clips, expands the existing “Add Yours” sticker into a multimedia experience. Instead of just responding with a photo, users can remix the original Story with their own clips while keeping the creator’s audio and text locked in.

Celebrities aren’t the only ones who can use the feature. Instagram users can participate in the feature on Swift’s account or that of anyone else who is using it.Â
