Taylor Swift's 'Patient Zero' Gets The Epidemiology Wrong. Her Video Gets It Right

Taylor Swift's 'Patient Zero' inverts the term's meaning — and her video goes further. The real history: a misread letter, a scapegoat, a posthumous vindication.

Taylor Swift's 'Patient Zero' Gets The Epidemiology Wrong. Her Video Gets It Right

Taylor Swift's Patient Zero music video premiered at the MTV Video Music Awards over the weekend. Although it debuted during the awards show, it did not immediately appear on Swift's YouTube channel. This led fans to wonder when they could watch the full video online.

The video's delayed release on YouTube had fans eagerly awaiting its arrival. No further information was provided about the delay or the exact release date.

The music video's release is separate from a study about Swift's environmental impact. According to PsyPost, a study found that young adults who are devoted fans of Swift may rationalize her high carbon dioxide emissions from her private jet use, which could lead to a decrease in their personal intentions to engage in climate-friendly actions.
