Taylor Swift’s latest behind-the-scenes look at her “Fortnight” music video is as stunning as the visual itself.
On Friday, June 21, the 34-year-old superstar gave fans a deeper dive into her video featuring Post Malone, her collaborator on the lead single from her latest album, Department for tortured poets.
The inside look begins with Swift throwing a metal cart at a two-way mirror in an all-white room. However, unlike the video, where he breaks the glass, the cart bounces back towards the “Down Bad” singer, causing her to wince and burst out laughing.

Then she introduces the first scene of the official video, which, according to her, “takes place in the Department for tortured poets” – “a public municipal building where they study the behavior and minds of poets”, the pop star explains the creative concept.
“And one of the stereotypical things about poets over the years is that people have said they’re crazy,” Swift adds, before cutting off the camera to check the footage.
“Nothing says crazy like a slight head tilt,” he jokes.

The next scene finds Swift gushing over Malone, 28, joining her on set for the music video as she explains a shot in which the two were filmed sitting opposite each other working on typewriters. We then see the “Circles” artist admiring the 19th-century technology, telling Swift, “This is amazing. I feel very steampunk.”
Still fascinated by the typewriter, Malone says, “How do you get the shift—” before his jaw drops in surprise and delight. “What the hell! I’m buying this right now.”

“This is too much fun,” he adds happily. “You shouldn’t have let me play with this.”
That’s not the only fun behind-the-scenes moment Swift and Malone share. While breaking down the concept of their scene, Austin the musician also sweetly tells his co-worker, “yes ma’am,” repeatedly as he listens to her corny ideas.

Later in the clip, Swift explains why she sometimes likes to come up with videos “two seconds before you do it.” “It makes a big difference,” she says, adding that she included an Easter egg on the “Fortnight” visual. Our book — which is a sly reference to her 2010 Speak now the song “The Story of Us” — just for “fun”.
“Something about coming here puts more pressure on you to bring detail to what you’re doing,” Swift concludes, “and I really love when that happens.”

The behind-the-scenes look at “Week 4” ends with Swift and Malone creating a shot of them hugging on a cloudy, stormy beach — only this time, they’re filming in front of a blue screen.
At the end of the clip, the pair look over the footage in amazement as Malone tells Swift, “You’re out of your mind.”
“It’s freaking amazing,” he adds, high-fiving Midnight the performer as he calls her, “One take Tay”.

Swift released her “Fortnight” video with Malone — plus co-stars and cast Dead Poets Society actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles — on Friday, April 19, the same day it topped the charts Department for tortured poets album.
The “Cruel Summer” singer announced the visual a day earlier on Instagram, writing to fans, “I’ve been a huge fan of Post for the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those tunes he creates that just stick in your head forever. I got to witness that magic which came to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight.”
