The Patient Zero video is finally out in the world! Getting to work with Emmanuel Lubezki was something out of a dream sequence, and I learned so much from getting to watch his genius in action. I want to thank Dakota and Colin for trusting me with their time, taste, and talent (Giggling with your friend because you’re twinning for an entire shoot was a new and truly delightful experience). And Colin’s turn as a villain is even more impressive when you get to be around him. He’s an absolute light and as kind as they come. Cara, thank you for agreeing to play the lusty other woman. That’s what friends are for?
With the Patient Zero video, I got to explore the cinematic and literary genres I love so much. I wanted to incorporate elements of gothic ghost stories, true crime, psychological thrillers all in a setting I hadn’t really shot in much. The house was a metaphor for the coldness of a relationship that’s faded and atrophied. Thank you to Ethan Tobman for your insightful production design, and bringing that feeling to life. My editor Chancler Haynes has outdone himself. And lastly, thank you to the VMAs for giving us a World Premiere at the place where celebrating music videos became a thing. And so much love for you guys, always. Watch now on https://t.co/5gUyQ8yBJf
❤️🔥 Taylor Swift will debut the music video for “Patient Zero” at Sunday’s @vmas — right here on @cbs.
We’ll reveal an exclusive first look at that video later this morning.
About a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew my mind… You gave The Life of a Showgirl the biggest first week for an album in history. I took a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max and Shellback, my two collaborators on this album. Really we just wanted to reflect and take in how grateful we were for the moment we were in, but there was a studio there and we did what we do when we feel anything at all: We wrote more songs. I hope you love them, because they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made. The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore including four new songs is out on Friday and available to pre-order and save now at https://t.co/bWaNOQ6OmT ❤️���

We love that there’s accounts that provide that content but we want this to be as straight to the point as possible. That’s the feedback we’ve heard when asking what people want & we’re here to provide it 🫶🏼
We’ve had SO many people reach out to us asking if we’d expand from WTW, and do updates on Taylor. We’re happy to do it. A few things:
We will only share true Taylor news (more about this in the replies)
We are busy!! Please be patient as we figure things out
We love you all 🫶🏼
“Droughts” are the very worst, but at the end of the day we want to be a place where you’re getting genuine Taylor updates. Not Instagram likes, not random brands mooching off her, and no crazy conspiracy easter egg theories (fueled by said random brands)
