Taylor Swift Pays Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor in New Music Video
Taylor Swift has released a new music video paying tribute to Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor. The video features archive footage of the late actress from some of her most famous films, such as Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? (1966), Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958), Suddenly Last Summer (1959), and Cleopatra (1963). Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 79, was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry known for her acting career and personal life.
The video includes a thank you message to House of Taylor, the Elizabeth Taylor Trust, the Todd family, and the Wilding family. Taylor Swift's song, named after the actress, contains lyrics that reference Taylor's distinctive features like her "violet eyes" and her extensive jewelry collection, including the iconic White Diamonds perfume. Swift has expressed her admiration for Elizabeth Taylor in interviews, describing her as a glamorous and beloved figure whom she has looked up to.
The inspiration for the song came from a conversation with Swift's fiance, American football player Travis Kelce. This is not the first time Taylor Swift has referenced Elizabeth Taylor in her music, as she previously mentioned the actress's famous relationship with Richard Burton in her track …Ready For It? "Elizabeth Taylor" is the third single from Swift's album The Life Of A Showgirl, which was released on October 3 last year. The music video is currently available on Apple Music and Spotify, with plans to upload it to YouTube on Thursday.
