That was fast. Just hours after Taylor Swift dropped her new single and music video "ME!" it's already trending No. 1 on YouTube -- and No. 1 in fans' hearts.

The fresh, fun song with Panic At the Disco's Brendon Urie was dropped at midnight. Swift told "GMA's" Robin Roberts Thursday night, "'ME!' is a song about embracing your individuality and really celebrating it and owning it."

"When people tell me to calm down about Taylor Swift #MeOutNow," one fan wrote, along with a gif of the singer screaming, "I am calm!"
