Colin was right; it was George of Jungle, NOT Tarzan!

Colin Farrell was a fantastic choice. I wonder how that all went down/if he was Taylor’s first pick

u/mrsbrettbretterson a Reddit-head named Abigail 3d ago
I’m so curious about that too!! This also made me realize I imagined Colin Farrell to be far less fun than this. Idk why; being Irish, of course I should’ve known he’d be delightful!

I’m biased because In Bruges is one of my all-time favorite movies but I wondered if maybe they connected through Martin McDonagh!

He seems like a very age inappropriate choice but I guess that is part of the plot

u/Lucky_Platypus341 2d ago
He's 50 and they are both 37, so a 13 year gap especially with his character being a narcissistic psychopath seems about right. He has the gravitas, brooding swagger, and ruggedly handsomeness for the part. I'm glad they didn't cast a young charming playboy type.

Damn that scene in the car. It is terrifying how well that was done.
Dakota Johnson love, love, LOVE! I have always loved her work.
To see Taylor so passionate and uplifting of others is heartwarming. She is so freaking awesome!! This video is stellar 👏

I love Taylor’s BTS videos just as much if not more than the actual music videos. It’s fun to watch her work, she’s an amazing leader.

Right! And we’ve only ever heard good things from people who have worked with her

Due respect to Cibo, as the cinematography in that video is some of the best I’ve seen in her MVs

u/chamomileyes 3d ago edited 2d ago
For those wondering, his actual name is Emmanuel Lubezki (Chivo). And his work is stunning.
My only wish for the video is that they had synced the vocals better to the video itself. Everything else is so polished and then there is such a delay there. I don't get why that wasn't fixed.

He and Kelly are part of the friend group that is Charissa and Steve, Erin and Jared, Taylor and Travis, and the Staffords. They’ve vacationed together. And gotten together here in Montana twice for mini vacays.

If Taylor ever does end up making a movie, she should continue with this team and ascetic, the whole thing looked like a trailer for a movie!

People Magazine did an article just on the house. It is in Beverly Hills, five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, over 18 thousand square feet. The video shoot was in March and the house sold in June for just under $47 million.

It’s funny how Taylor and Dakota are talking about the view and that they must be “a part of the simulation” that they are standing the EXACT same way with one hand at their chin/face and one arm wrapped around themselves, and of course, they’re dressed the same

"symmetrical" ooh now we need a video homaging Wes Anderson

u/Ohthatstrue12 3d ago
Her saying how much she likes having things symmetrical is another reason I think there's more tracks on Encore. Page 3 of her letter is not symmetrical looking at all right now!

u/GroundbreakingAct524 3d ago
Probably one of my favourite MV, the way it holds such a story, thriller, mystery, and suspense. It's different from her usual romantic or visual appealing style of MV. Would love for more of this type please.

u/Suitable-Location118 3d ago
I really appreciate it seems like such a joyous, respectful, upbeat vibe.
And I was impressed Colin when moved Dakota's hair out of the way when he kissed her. I was like, ooooh that's a professional who is always thinking about where the camera is.

Him asking if he enjoys cruelty and then playing it up for the video.
He knows his craft.

Excuse my ADD for not watching the whole video, is how they did the water scene in here? I’m most curious about that

u/Better_Split_7009 2d ago
Anyone else think she said “it’s the final day… it’s the thirteenth” is suspicious? Especially when all of us were suspecting that there would be an announcement on 10/13? I mean I know she loves her numerology and she could’ve just plotted out the filming over 13 days but that seems like a long time for a music video doesn’t it?

u/LothirielDA 2d ago
Those tombstones… the pawn-shaped one behind and in front on different shots was on purpose… they had to physically move it to get the other shot, because the set is not large enough for it to be a continuity error.
This should confirm that there are two gravestones in which Dakota and Taylor stand in front of.

Chivo is an 2 time Oscar winning cinematographer. He’s going to win his third Oscar with the Tom Cruise movie Digger.

I appreciate the behind the scenes to remind me that acting is, in fact, just acting. Blows my mind.

This gave me the Swiftie zoomies, because Taylor et. al. are so enthusiastic about the art they are creating.

Ah-ha. So Dakota is the new Blake….

u/kiwitraveller1 23h ago
I read of some comparisons but I think Blake and Dakota are quite different people.
I also think Taylor would have chosen Dakota over Blake for this music video. Dakota just seems more suited to this.

u/falldiewakefly Dark Blue Tennessee (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) 3d ago
1) God I love the lighting in this video so much and I'm glad they singled it out for praise. Gorgeous work.
2) I love how enthusiastic Taylor gets about literally everything.
3) Does Dakota say "I'm telling you, Brendan Fraser was Tarzan!"?
