Overview
- Swift’s ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ video, released Tuesday, is available only to subscribers on Spotify Premium and Apple Music with no YouTube upload at press time.
- The visual is a montage of Elizabeth Taylor’s film and newsreel clips, with Swift absent, drawing from classics such as Cleopatra, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Father of the Bride, Giant, A Place in the Sun and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
- End credits thank the House of Taylor & the Elizabeth Taylor Trust and members of the Todd and Wilding families, and trustee Quinn Tivey publicly praised the tribute.
- Outlets noted the platform choice follows Billboard’s rules that count videos on paid services, echoing Swift’s recent ‘Opalite’ rollout that later expanded to YouTube.
- The drop lands on the last day of Women’s History Month and precedes a confirmed 7-inch Record Store Day release on April 18 that pairs the single with a ‘So Glamorous Cabaret’ version.
