Taylor Swift is travelling to the UK next week for a top secret music video shoot that is widely believed to be for her track "Elizabeth Taylor" from her chart-topping album The Life Of A Showgirl.
The singer previously referenced the Hollywood icon on the record and is now expected to film visuals connected to the actress who was born in Hampstead in 1932 before moving to Los Angeles at the age of seven.
A source close to the production told The Sun, “Taylor is super excited to be back in London filming for her new music video. Elizabeth Taylor is a British icon and Taylor wants to pay homage by shooting scenes in the capital. Taylor has always written about her love for London, and the video will capture different locations around the city.”
Swift explained at her album’s release event that the song reflects themes of "fame, attention, love, notoriety, anxiety that this isn’t going to be forever — and how heartbroken would you be then?"
"I wanted to tell a story that referenced some of the cool things about her life, but that are also parallel to mine. I used details from her life, but the feelings of what it kind of conveys are things I’ve absolutely experienced time and time again", she added.
The track has recently gone viral on TikTok thanks to a remix with the Backstreet Boys’ 1997 hit "Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)", heightening anticipation for the video.
Taylor’s return to London is expected to draw significant interest once filming begins.
