We’re in a love spiral over Taylor Swift’s ‘Lavender Haze’ music video

No, we can’t calm down, even in the midst of a lavender haze.

Taylor Swift has just released the highly anticipated music video for the second single from his album, Midnights– and as expected, it already has fans on cloud nine.

The surreal video features Taylor and her lover (played by Laith Ashley) in what she calls a “sensual sleepless ’70s fever dream” with purple smoke, flowers sprouting on the carpet, and her TV opening up to a galaxy. It naturally ends with him falling asleep on a cloud in a starry sea of ​​swimming koi fish.

On Instagram, Taylor shouted out her “incredible costar” Laith, a transgender model and actor, “who I absolutely loved working with.”

“This is the first video I’ve written of 3 that have been released,” she said, “and this one really helped me conceptualize the world and vibe of Midnights.”

Ahead of the release of her 10th studio album in October, Taylor shared the inspiration behind some of the songs, including “Lavender Haze,” the record’s first track. Co-written by a friend Zoe Kravitzthe singer revealed she was intrigued by the phrase after hearing it while watching Mad Men.
