Watch Taylor Swift’s Star-Studded New ‘Patient Zero’ Video with Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell
The horror-tinged clip stars Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, and Swift’s ghostly twist reveals a warning about abuse and a dead heiress.
- On Sunday, Taylor Swift premiered the music video for "Patient Zero" at the MTV Video Music Awards, directing the project herself with Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell starring in the dark narrative.
- Swift explained that "Patient Zero" originated from a friend's story rather than a specific former partner, using illness as a metaphor for destructive relationship patterns the narrator witnessed.
- The video reveals a horror twist: Swift's character is a ghost who was an heiress murdered by Farrell, appearing to warn Johnson by writing "Run" in blood to prevent history repeating.
- "Patient Zero" joins "Pink Clouding," "Cleveland!" and "Babylon" on "The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore," material Swift wrote in Sweden with collaborators Max Martin and Shellback.
- Swift received the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors shortly before the premiere, recognizing her visual storytelling with Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki executing her directorial vision.
