Transcripts
[Music]
so the fortnite music video is here and
wow got to say we have a lot more reveal
to us about the torture Poes Department
as if a double album containing 31
tracks last night wasn't enough already
we'll be breaking down everything you
need to know about Taylor Swift's first
music video in a while and the first one
for her new album including Easter eggs
references and also just general
information if you enjoy videos like
this I'd encourage you to subscribe and
stay tuned for more as we cover all
things Taylor spped on this channel
especially Easter eggs but without
further Ado let's get right into things
I'll say first off this music video
isn't exactly the most Easter egg heavy
or obvious but I think that's probably a
good thing for Taylor the original music
she is promoting actually does need to
have an original story behind it and not
just be a vehicle for Easter eggs
supposed to be sent away however there
are still some Easter eggs and
references and the first one that caught
my attention was before this video even
started I know a lot of you all were
complaining about having to countdown
after the set time of .m. Eastern but I
want you to note that this music video
actually started at 8:02 p.m. 2 minutes
after 8:00 p.m. eastern time of course
the video is also 4 minutes and 9
seconds long which obviously adds a up
to Taylor's favorite number
13 now let's talk about this first scene
there's the Garter on her leg which
relates to the Garter she wears for her
outfit during midnights in the ays tour
for all you tortured poets aist Tour
Part two people there's something I
guess also the clock necklace thing
appears to be very similar to the things
you wore at the gramys and we all know
how time is an important aspect of This
Album 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. and all finally
interesting to note the pins in her hair
a bit hard to count but I think that's
13 got to say her wedding dress is also
something that I love about this scene
and it goes back to her white Grammy's
dress now when we zoom out and go see
the entire room we realized well gravity
isn't working too well here and we have
a bathtub on the ceiling I actually
don't think that's a huge look what you
made me do Easter egg that bat tub is
black I guess you could feed the
delusional rep TV clouds there but the
door opens and we have this man walked
in all dressed in full medical attire
handing her some pills now this is a
direct reference to the lyrics of the
song with the miracle move on drug but I
want people to notice the numbers on
this
bottle yep 12389 that's Taylor's
birthday in our date form and there also
today's date of April 19th 2024 got to
love the little finds like this and
that's why you watch videos like this
right I hope you're okay the drug is
supposed to make her forget him and she
takes the pill and goes to the mirror
revealing her
tattoos or actually as we would find out
post Malone's tattoos and I mean the
scene was actually insane just imagine
if she had hidden the post Malone reveal
and shocked us all with that I want to
kill her she then walks over to her work
and I guess that's why she took the
forgetting pill so she could work and
this outfit was one kind of hunger
gamesy but also very 1830s and kind of
like my tears or CET aist T
[Music]
dress remember there was a song called I
hated here from the Anthology that
references the
1830s i' the
1830s love this aesthetic though and Tor
gets to work on the typewriter and I
really want people to notice this typo
in the word
[Music]
ruining like why is there a blank space
well she does have a song called blank
space I guess but it's an interesting
typo right here I will say throughout
the scene they are facing each other and
emitting this weird Airy stuff from
their typewriters and well they are
contrasting colors I'm not exactly sure
what is going on here but I think it's
to symbolize The Duality of roles they
have within this
song also love these people dressed in
black incognito mode showing you how the
torture post department is indeed a
dystopian
place we then head to this very Eternal
Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
scene and I actually haven't seen that
movie but kind of gave that Vibe and we
can see Taylor is reading The Story of
Us silence L love speak now references
making their way into torture poet speak
now is the best album by the way and we
zoom out to see the sheets of paper make
her face which is related to the side
face she has in
style we then have some exceptional
onscreen in chemistry from post and
Taylor uh postl I
[Music]
guess and the paper begins to swirl
around before we go to this tortured
scene for the torture poets
department now when we get to this scene
I can't help but look at these buttons
behind her and go back to the I can see
music video buttons however I don't
think there is a specific meaning to
them there is however a very easy to
spot black dog that I think everyone
knows is a reference to the track in
this album The Black
Dog Ethan Hawk then gets into the scene
and is one of the scientists and that's
a great knot to the Dead Poet Society
which I think definitely gave some
inspiration for this
album and there's also Josh Charles who
is from the Dead Poet Society as well
now they do something to tailor that
gives me stranger things types of Vibes
but post Malone comes to her rescue here
and we go to the telephone scene which I
think is very
odd poost is in the booth calling and
she is sitting on top well just in the
rain kind of Cardigan likee Vibes with
how she soaked in that
[Music]
outfit but then we see her destroy the
files and stuff and flash back to the
scene where now post comes out of the
telephone booth grabs her hand and ends
with a
[Music]
touch but wait there's one more Easter
egg as Taylor has a tortured poet's
Department merch bracelet
[Music]
attached overall not the biggest pure
Easter egg music video we didn't get any
references to one rep TV would happened
at least I don't think so but it's still
really interesting and just a great
music video to talk about overall I
really liked what Taylor did here and I
really hope you enjoyed this breakdown
Taylor S is truly giving us so much
right now what is next guys I don't even
know but I hope this video helped you
break down the fortnite featuring post
Malone music video further special
thanks to Isabelle a for helping me find
some Easter eggs as well but we have so
so much more to cover for the torture
post department and I hope you all are
enjoying the ride however tired you are
over and out
