Taylor Swift’s Fortnight music video pays homage to The Dead Poets Society in the perfect way
Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department dropped on Friday, with 15 additional bonus tracks, dubbed The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, joining the party two hours later.
By Friday night, fans also had the very first music video from the 14-time Grammy winner’s 11th studio album. Swift went with “Fortnight,” the opening track that featured Post Malone, as the first single and video.
The video is set in what appears to be an asylum or hospital of sorts, with Swift being the subject of some tests conducted by three doctors, played by Post, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles.
Hawke and Charles are a perfect pick as the duo starred together in 1989’s Dead Poets Society. In this case, it was the Tortured Poets Department meeting the Dead Poets Society. Charles posted a pic of him and Hawke in TTPD‘s signature black and white with a picture of the duo from the classic movie to his Instagram.
