Two days ago, Taylor Swift released a new video for her song Wildest Dreams. It’s been viewed upwards of 15 million times.
The video, directed by Joseph Kahn, features Swift being made up on the plains of Africa — she’s obviously an actress in the music video, on the set of a 1950s film — while flirting with her co-star, Scott Eastwood. The video shows her making out with Eastwood a good deal, standing in glamour poses near various exotic animals, flying above Africa in a biplane, riding a horse, and then standing on a set in Hollywood with an African safari backdrop. The punch line: she arrives at the premiere of this 1950s-style film, finds Eastwood is married, and flees the theater.
