Taylor Swift also expressed gratitude towards Post Malone for his contribution to the new album: Music video and other details explored

The music video of Fortnight was helmed by Taylor Swift and Post Malone portrayed her ex-lover. Swift additionally served as a writer for the video and her latest album has already broken a few records on streaming platforms, including Spotify.

A day after the album's release, Swift shared a few pictures on her Instagram post, including ones where she was working with Malone. She thanked Post Malone for being a part of the album and wrote:

"@postmalone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I'm so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I'm still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth @ethanhawke and @mrjoshcharles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets)."

Furthermore, Swift also addressed the time she was preparing the video, saying that she aimed to bring the worlds that initially came to her mind as a backdrop for the main track. She continued:

"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 of this record and the stories I tell in it."

The video, where Rodrigo Prieto worked as a cinematographer, featured Swift with two scientists, portrayed by Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles. The duo is spotted conducting a few tests on the artist by strapping her to a machine, which is eventually damaged at one point and Lover singer is saved by Malone.
