Swift and Malone’s emotional Fortnight music video was released on Friday following the release of their long-awaited album.
The Grammy winner initially uploaded a black and white teaser to her fans on Thursday ahead of the music video’s premiere.
The singer was joined not only by Post but also by Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, who made surprise cameos.
Moments before the video began, a countdown clock appeared on the screen with the sound of typewriters clicking in the background.
Then a title card appeared with ‘Fortnight’ and it imitated the beginning of a silent movie.
The video then shows Taylor lying on a bed with no mattress while chained to the railing. The bed itself was placed high up on a wall inside a large room that looked like it was inside an asylum.
A doctor then walked in face down on the roof while holding a tray of medications, with a bottle of pills labeled “Forget it.”
Taylor donned a strapless dress by Australian designer Toni Maticevski for the video, which featured a dramatic neckline and fitted bodice.

Taylor opted for a smoky shadow around her eyes, as well as a bold tint on her lips, and covered her brows while drawing in a thinner brow, similar to the 1920s style.
In the video, Taylor is seen running towards Post Malone and the two embraced on an open road in the middle of the desert. Dark, grayish clouds could be seen above them.
A brief montage showed the couple cuddling up as they shared some sweet moments. At one point, the rapper cupped Taylor’s face in her hands, causing her to flash a happy smile.
The singers looked into each other’s eyes as Post Malone’s tattoos could no longer be seen on his face in the touching scene. A tornado of papers spun around her as the singer extended her hands toward Malone.

‘Practically everything on it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner or another of the album. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this album and the stories I tell in it.’
She gushed: “@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.”
“Still laughing about working with the coolest guys in the world, @ethanhawke and @mrjoshcharles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues on the other side of the aisle, the dead poets).”
