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
“Those contradictions will come up where fans will be like ‘I can’t believe the same person who wrote this… wrote this’ because one will be very simplistic and silly and one will be very detailed and deep and we’re doing tons of allegory and we’re just like in a whole other world of atmospheric speech… But I think that that human contradiction is fun. I think that it’s fun to make playful songs. I think it’s fun to make songs that are desolate and lonely and just bedraggled lyrically as well. It’s that human contradiction that I find interesting.”
— Taylor Swift at the GRAMMY Museum Icon Session back in August.
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 ❤️🔥

Now why would Trinity and Bryce not be the ones to go in the hideaway????? They’re literally boyfriend and girlfriend… they really about to pick Melanie to go in with that liar who humiliated her all season and threatened to impregnate her?????
“you deserve way better that that” i don’t even like parmida but her not even being close to melanie yet being honest enough to say this to her (unlike those in the villa) is so real & i will give her that #loveislandusa
Corbin being more real to Melanie than her own friends when it comes to sincere was not on my bingo card fr.. straight up said he lost respect for sincere after movie night but her 2 friends telling her to take him back. #LoveIslandUSA
