Overview
- Swift’s “Elizabeth Taylor” video, released Tuesday, streams only on Apple Music and Spotify Premium with no YouTube upload at launch.
- The three-minute visual is a supercut of Elizabeth Taylor’s film scenes and newsreel moments that spotlights her violet eyes and famed diamonds, with Swift never appearing on screen.
- End credits thank the House of Taylor and the Todd and Wilding families after Swift sought permission from the estate, whose members publicly welcomed the tribute.
- The premium-only rollout follows January chart changes that stop counting YouTube views, and her last videos under this strategy later appeared on YouTube after initial paid-tier exclusives.
- A 7-inch vinyl single of “Elizabeth Taylor” is scheduled for Record Store Day on April 18.
