Taylor Swift’s video for Fortnight is a departure from the positive, sometimes stoic imagery she’s known for. In accepting the award for Video of the Year, she reveals it was light on set thanks to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was like the most fun video to make,โ she said. โSomething that Iโll always remember is that when, when I would finish a take, and Iโd and Iโd say cut, and weโd be done with that take, I would always just hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting it, and that one person was my boyfriend, Travis.โ
โEverything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”
