Taylor Swift is reportedly set to film a music video in London this week, paying homage to the late British icon Elizabeth Taylor. The video is for her track 'Elizabeth Taylor' from her eighth album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'.
A source 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.' The source added that the video will capture various locations around the city.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in North Hampstead in 1932 before moving to Los Angeles at age seven. Swift has previously expressed her love for London in her music. At a listening party, she described the track as exploring themes of fame, attention, love, and anxiety about impermanence, drawing parallels between her life and Taylor's.
The Standard has contacted Swift's representatives for comment. 'The Life of a Showgirl' received mixed reviews, with The Standard giving it one star, criticising the lyrics as 'tone deaf' for a billionaire. However, Rolling Stone awarded the album five stars, praising Swift's evolution as a superstar.
