Fortnight ft. Post Malone Music Video EASTER EGGS EXPLAINED

[@taylorswifthockeybro]

Thank you all for your support especially through TTPD week! Was able to get this video out in under 3 hours after the music video dropped and that was hard work haha. Hope you all enjoy!

[@Althea-42]

I really liked the video, I do have some theories of my own, particularly for the telephone scene which you mentioned being a little confused by. For the telephone scene, I think there is another reference to The Black Dog there because that song has the lyric: "I just don't understand how you don't miss me In the shower and remember how my rain-soaked body Was shakin', do you hate me?" Hence that is why she is in the soaking rain. I also think the scenery reminds me of the Albatross. That song draws heavily on the major poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." That poem involves imagery of seas, the Albatross bird, and big rock formations in the water, the visualization in the music video reminds me a lot of illustrations for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner which you can see on google images if you just search the poem's title. The poet for Mariner was also a contemporary of William Wordsworth an English romantic poet Taylor has referenced before in the song The Lakes and more obliquely with Seven as Wordsworth's most famous poem "We Are Seven" also about childhood expeirences. Finally, the scene where there is paper shaped like her profile in Style has a long road into the dark cloudy west, it reminds me heavily of the cover to Bruce Springsteen's album "Nebraska" which is one of Springsteen's moodier, more poetic, and folk albums. It's often an incredibly dark but beautiful album that I highly recommend. She's referenced Springsteen before in the song "London Boy" as a contrast to her attraction to Alwyn (I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee Whiskey). And Springsteen somewhat recently praised Taylor Swift on the Howard Stern podcast. So while it may seem like a stretch to consider an open road which is pretty common imagery a reference to Springsteen's Nebraska I do think it is apt here and can serve to further push the sadness she feels from the end of her London Boy era sto to speak. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, lovely video as always. Edit: I also think the telephone booth is referencing Maroon "The rust that grew between telephones" Typewriters tie into the title track, and I think the colors in the scene also reference recent color scenes, she frequently used Blue to describe her lover in previous albums and the orangey gold color hasn't been used much before but maybe it is meant to be more yellow like the Cardigan/Willow videos? Or maybe it is just contrast. Regardless, as someone whose favorite color is orange I really hope she makes an album someday where orange is the primary color scheme lolsob.

Wait Kevin so u know in the science lan scene there’s the machine that reads heart rate or what’re and it’s prints out like a spiked graph? So basically the top two lines on the paper probably say something I cursive. I couldn’t read it but can anybody else read it it catch that moment??❤️❤️

Loved your Easter Egg video. As a Swiftie since 2008...& I knew she would be as big as the Beatles one day since then...I am currently working on a GIANT EASTER EGG that will perhaps rock the Swiftie world...but i will first relay it on twitter...then I will bring it to your attention here(as I don't have a large social media following,& perhaps you might bring more attention to it if you want to take the ball rolling with it. After you, I'll post the same Easter Egg hints on Access Hollywood's KZbin Easter Egg video rundown on "Fortnite". Interesting responses from this info I may bring,& hopefully somebody won't beat me to the punch by time I expose it... I'm sure interesting comments will arise.

taylors typewriter color looked gold, but posts color looked blue. taylor constantly called love golden, and slowly started referring to joe as being blue (also his fav color was blue apparently) it could possibly mean that taylor was still giving all her love to joe, but joe wasnt giving the same.

[@mandycastillo7612]

In Eternal Sunshine they take “a magic pill” to forget specific parts or people of their past. In the movie Jim Carey and Kate Winslet break up, she takes the pill to forget him so he does the same. They end up meeting again after the pill and find their way back to each other anyway. Kirsten Dunst (who works for the magic pill people) sees what harm the procedure does and takes all the companies files and mails them to their clients, ultimately destroying the procedures purpose. Great film, lots of references to it in the movie other than just that one scene.

The smoke from the typewriters is their creative energy. They found solace in each other as kindred spirits who channel their angst into their writing craft, to a point where they are almost slaves to it. The scene where the pages are flying around them is profound. He rescues her and then she extends a helping hand to him (as a muse). It's such powerful imagery. Sometimes the imagery stands on its own.

Thank you for this video! I always miss something for the brilliant mind she is. I've noticed another Easter egg: The papers burning that are flying around Taylor are the papers from her performance of Lover (Live From Saturday Night Live / 2019) where you can see the papers scattered around her in the air (they are static though! which can give a sense of stability and steadiness in her love life back then, whereas in this music it's quite the opposite).

Great video though just as a side note I believe the dress is more an 1890s reference rather than 1830s which would have had MUCH bigger sleeves to be historically in-line with that time period but the 1890s fashion took a load of inspiration from the 1830s era anyway so it definitely still works but just thought this would be interesting to put here.

an easter egg i noticed is that she's wearing white in the start and she walks through a doorway and then is wearing black. white to black. ttpd to reputation tv. also the black dog in the video is a doberman and theres doberman dogs in blank space mv!

Boys only want love if it's *torture*

a couple things I noticed ❤️ 1. the blank space key on the typewriter + the space in the word ruining is a reference to the song “blank space” 2. when she puts the pill in her mouth it’s a direct callback to her blank space music video, when she eats a candy 3. when she sits on the telephone box at the end, it looks like when she sat down on the hourglass in the karma MV!

also, the last track of midnights (hits different) the last line was "have they come to take me away" and the first lyric from TTPD was "i was supposed to be sent away"

My friend sent me a screenshot of post and Taylor in this scene 5:39 and said “Travis after seeing this 👁️👄👁️” 😂😂

I’m happy I’m not the only one that did a double take lmao

I love this video, I love this album, and I love this era.

[@pamelatimmins1055]

I love this whole album and this amazing video. Taylor is a musical genius. I see her winning her 5th Album of the Year at the Grammys for this amazing album and even song of the year.

2:22 ....the entire room is titled to one side....could be a reference to the lyric in lymmd. "I don't like your titled stage"

[@KippeiAion]

This is exceptional, Love this song and video.

[@KatieCarpenter2014]

I love this music video so much, even without a bunch of Easter eggs. She and Post Malone work so well together. I do find myself wishing there was a little more Post on the song but maybe we'll get that later like we did with Lana Del Rey on Midnights. Anyway, very much an interesting era we're in right now!

[@Clara_taylorsversion]

I think she's wearing the mourning black dress while meeting post malone ( matty healy) because she was mourning her relationship with joe!! And remember there were leaked lyrics of slut! that matty wrote?? Kind of like matty and taylor rekindled while writing songs? And idk but some 1975 were like he's written songs about her!! And remember how she was singing cardigan while saying you know who you are n stuff? Maybe its about him 🤔

Her in the rain on top of the phone box (imo) is a Delicate call back.

[@Pink_Torch]

The last scene in the rain could be a call to Fearless, "But with you, I'd dance in a storm, in my best dress, Fearless"
