Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ is set to spend a 13th week at #1 on the Billboard 200 with ~178K units following ‘The Encore’ release (via @Noramusicinc).
First day figures secured the #1.
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
Pink clouding - production is flat with no excitement (like archer) with no pay off. Drums and beats need to be more dramatic and louder
Babylon- arguably the best out of 4. Just wish it gives more cohesive sound
Honest thoughts again after multiple listens
Patient zero - great intro great verse, speaking bridge does NOT suit the song
Cleveland - silly lil love song, just doesn’t click at all and this speak-singing needs to go
