Taylor Swift has officially dropped her first music video off of her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”The 34-year-old musician released her new music overnight Friday, with a second batch of songs at 2 a.m., making it a surprise double album.The track features Post Malone and is rumored to be about Matty Healy, as “Fortnight” means a two-week span. She briefly dated the 1975 frontman following her split from Joe Alwyn after six years.“I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me/I was a functioning alcoholic ‘til nobody noticed my new aesthetic,” she sings.“All of this to say I hope you’re OK, but you’re the reason/And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason,” she goes on.
“And for a fortnight there we were/ Forever running to you.”The music video kicks off by featuring multiple desks and the sound of typewriters clicking. In an all-white room, Swift — wearing a garter and dressed in a wedding gown reminiscent of her Grammys 2024 dress — lays on a bed with no mattress as it hangs from the ceiling.
The video also features Swift and Malone (with no face tattoos) dressed in black as they type, embracing while surrounded by paper being blown in the air and the “So Long, London” songstress getting tested on in a lab by none other than actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles. Hawke and Charles co-starred in 1989’s “Dead Poets Society,” a clear nod to her album title.“When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music.
Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation
