Minutes before she joined Nicki Minaj to open the 2015 MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift dropped her new video for 1989's "Wildest Dreams" online.
The video, another collaboration with "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood" director Joseph Kahn, shows a brunette Swift floating around the savana and acting in an Out of Africa lookalike film. Her leading man this time is The Longest Ride actor Scott Eastwood (son of Clint).
"Wildest Dreams" is a romantic getaway song, so perhaps the "let's get out of here on the nearest unicorn" vibe was to be expected. Now all we need is for Swift to welcome a giraffe or two to the stage on her next stop on the 1989 World Tour.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
