Surprise Drop: “Elizabeth Taylor” Music Video

Taylor Swift surprised fans by dropping her third music video from her The Life of A Showgirl album, “Elizabeth Taylor,” following “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Opalite.”

But this one is different.

Instead of starring in the video herself, Taylolr takes a step back and lets the legendary actress shine. The three-minute visual is a montage of iconic clips from Elizabeth Taylor’s film career, including classics like Cleopatra, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

The result? A full-on tribute to one of Hollywood’s most glamorous and complicated icons.
