Taylor Swift for 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

TAYLOR SWIFT & POST MALONE Fortnight (feat. Post Malone) (Official Music Video) dir. Taylor Swift

[butyoupaintedme-golden]

When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music.  Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it. Post Malone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets). I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant Rodrigo Prieto on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators: Ethan Tobman (production design), Chancler Haynes (editor), Anthony Dimino (1st AD), Jil Hardin (producer) and Dom Thomas (executive producer). Parliament aced the VFX as always. Joseph Cassell, Lorrie Turk and Jemma Muradian made these tortured looks come to life. The entire crew made this a dream to shoot. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has watched it!! https://taylor.lnk.to/FortnightMV

"This is a song that I think really exhibits a lot of the common themes that run throughout this album, one of which being fatalism, longing, pining away, lost dreams. I think that it's a very fatalistic album in that there are lots of very dramatic lines about, you know, life or death, "I love you, it's ruining my life," these are very hyperbolic, dramatic things to say. But it's that kind of album. It's about a dramatic, artistic, tragic kind of take on love and loss. And Fortnight, I've always imagined that it took place in this American town where the American Dream you thought would happen to you didn't, right? You ended up not with the person that you loved, and now you have to just live with that every day, wondering what would've been, maybe seeing them out, and that's a pretty tragic concept, really. So I was just writing from that perspective."

"Florida!!! is a song that I wrote with Florence + The Machine, and I think I was coming up with this idea of like, 'What happens when your life doesn't fit, or your choices you've made catch up to you?' And there's just, you're surrounded by these harsh consequences, and judgment, and circumstances did not lead you to where you thought you'd be. And you just want to escape from everything you've ever known. Is there a place you could go? I was watching like Dateline. People have these crimes that they commit. Where do they immediately skip town and go to? They go to Florida, you know? They try to reinvent themselves, have a new identity, blend in. And I think when you go through a heartbreak, there's a part of you that thinks, 'I want a new name. I want a new life. I don't want anyone to know where I've been, or know me at all.' And so that was kind of, that was the jumping off point behind, 'Where would you go to reinvent yourself and blend in?' Florida!!!"
