Visual feast

It's been a while since I've posted about Taylor Swift, so this is long overdue.

I've seen her music video for "The Fate of Ophelia" many times already, and I'm still in awe at the art direction and visuals of this video.


Each vignette is thoughtfully conceptualized and beautifully executed. Each one has a strong concept - Esther Williams' synchronized swimming, Parisian showgirls, Mod 60s dancers, 40s pin-up girls - each one was a feast for the eyes.

And let's not forget the song itself, that's a feast for the ears, too.

This is how MVs should be done. And Taylor knows how to do them perfectly!
