Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson Share Colin Farrell in ‘Patient Zero’ Music Video

After days of anticipation, Taylor Swift unveiled her "Patient Zero" music video at the MTV VMA awards on Sunday night. Accompanying the release of her single "Patient Zero," Swift also presented her "The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore" expansion album on Friday, featuring four new tracks. In the video, Dakota Johnson portrays Swift's new romantic interest, while Swift appears as his ex-lover.

The lyrics of the moody track express Swift's advice to someone seeking help from Johnson's character. Swift explained that the song was inspired by her friends sharing personal experiences involving exes reaching out to their past partners for advice. During her Friday interview with Capital FM, Swift revealed that she collaborated with longtime producers Max Martin and Shellback on the album's additional tracks during a recent trip to Sweden.
