Taylor Swift releases MV Fortnight: Recreating Emma Stone’s cinematic “blockbuster”, spectacular with many hidden meanings but disappointing?

At exactly 7 a.m. on April 20 (Vietnam time), Taylor Swift “released” the MV for lead single Fortnight. The song is the first track of the newly released album The Tortured Poets Department, featuring Post Malone. On the morning of April 19, the “Snake Queen” released a teaser revealing the upcoming “bombshell” MV, making people restless. Using black and white as the main color tone, Taylor Swift still portrays a cruel love story through many hidden meanings and majestic frames.

As revealed, Taylor Swift has transformed into a “poet crazy about love”. Fortnight opens with the white space of a mental hospital and the female singer’s somewhat mysterious, classic image. She was chained to a white bed, and the scene of taking medicine left viewers haunted. Not only that, Taylor Swift and Post Malone also brought the famous “magic duel” scene from Harry Porter into the MV. But this time the two stars “fight” each other with poetic words pouring out of the typewriter.

The MV is enhanced with happy memories of Taylor Swift with her old love. It’s not difficult to recognize the detail of Taylor Swift running to hug Post Malone as reminiscent of the moment she hugged “British poet” Joe Alwyn backstage at the reputation tour. The two lie next to each other, on love songs. But all that is in the past, the painful reality of Taylor Swift is still in the mental hospital.

The scene where the female singer is examined and given electric shocks in Fortnight like recreates her close friend Emma Stone’s “blockbuster” movie Poor Things. Both the pose and the “dark” look in the mourning clothes of the Victorian years at the end of Taylor’s MV are reminiscent of the Oscar winner – female lead Poor Things. In the track Florida!!!, Taylor also gives special credit to Emma Stone for her inspiring craziness.
