Taylor Swift - Patient Zero (Official Music Video)

Taylor Swift

3.2M views179k/hr1k comments read5:13

This is a music video for the song Patient Zero by Taylor Swift. The video stars Taylor Swift alongside actors Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell. The mood is dark and dramatic, set in a snowy cemetery and modern interior spaces. In the video, Dakota Johnson plays a woman whose husband, played by Colin Farrell, murders her and inherits her wealth while Taylor Swift appears as an observer.

Everyone is treating a music video like a prestige psychological thriller starring Christian Grey.

โ€œThe second he starts speeding the car, I got chills because that has happened to me. There is something so cold and calculated about using the fact that someoneโ€™s life is literally in your hands to punish them for upsetting you. It is such a minute, under discussed form of intimidation, and Iโ€™m really glad Taylor chose to put something like that in the videoโ€

His Story

This video is a narrated story about a swordsman from a farming village trying to win a title from a reigning champion. The narrator faces off against the champion named Yuki Rikado in a sword-striking competition involving a giant cedar tree. The narrator strikes the tree, and the tree completely falls over from the cut.

Everyone is cracking wise about the narrator wearing modern t-shirts and jeans in medieval Japan.
