Taylor Unleashes Epic “Fortnight” Video: Post Malone, Dead Poets & More!
Hold onto your cardigans, Swifties! Taylor Swift’s mind-blowing new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” just dropped, and the angsty masterpiece already has a music video for its lead single, “Fortnight” (featuring Post Malone, no less!).
This black-and-white masterpiece is a visual feast. We open with Taylor in a trippy psych ward, rocking tattoos that echo Posty’s signature style. Then, bam! Scene switch to a Victorian mourning dress and a room full of vintage typewriters, including Post Malone himself, all tapping away like tortured poets possessed. (Think “I love you, it’s ruining my life” scrawled across the page.)
From our partners:
The video cuts between heart-wrenching embraces with Post Malone and Taylor perched on a payphone in the pouring rain, Post reaching out from below. Talk about symbolic!
But wait, there’s more! Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, the iconic duo from Dead Poets Society, also make surprise appearances!
“This video brings the whole album to life,” Taylor gushed on Instagram. “It’s metaphors and references galore!” She also showered Post Malone with praise, calling him a “tortured tragic hero” and thanking Hawke and Charles for being the coolest Dead Poets ever.
Basically, this video is a must-watch for any Swiftie. It’s got dark vibes, epic storytelling, and enough Easter eggs to keep you theorizing for weeks. Dive in, Swifties, and prepare to be obsessed!
Watch the music video below:
And here’s the lyrics to sing along:
“Fortnight”
Taylor Swift (Feat Post Malone)
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
All of this to say I hope you’re okay, but you’re the reason
And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason
And for a fortnight there we were
Forever running to you
Sometimes ask about the weather
Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her.
All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February
I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary
And I love you, it’s ruining my life (I love you, it’s ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)
But I touched you
And for a fortnight there we were, forever running to you
Sometimes ask about the weather
Now you’re in my backyard turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her.
And for a fortnight, there we were together
Running to you, sometimes come and turn my sweater
And now you’re at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors
My husband is cheating. I wanna kill him.
And I love you, it’s ruining my life (I love you, it’s ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)
But I touched you
And I love you
It’s ruining my life (I love you, it’s ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)
But I touched you
I’m calling you, but you won’t be called?
Another fortnight lost in America
Going to Florida by the car you won
But it won’t start up till you touch, touch, touch me
