If you just can't get enough of Taylor Swift, you could get your fill this week.

Fans probably know that the six-time Grammy winner is turning 23 this week. In honor of her generous contributions to their video feed, MTV is throwing her a week-long party, complete with photo gallery and her last 22 videos.

On Thursday, she'll premiere her 23rd video, I Knew You Were Trouble, the third single off her album Red. It's on at 4:40 p.m. ET.

The video is about (shocker) a young girl falling for the wrong guy. This guy, played by Reeve Carney (you might know him as Peter Parker in Broadway's Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), has a dark side, though, and she winds up having a dark side, too.

"As soon as I started writing this song, I knew it was different from anything else on the record, so I knew that I wanted the video to be different from anything we'd ever done," said Swift in a news release. "I wanted to tell the story of a girl who falls into a world that's too fast for her, and suffers the consequences."
