THE RUNDOWN
- Taylor Swift posted a new behind-the-scenes clip of the making of her “Patient Zero” music video.

Eight days ago, Taylor Swift shared an expanded video for “Patient Zero” on YouTube, detailing its making with behind-the-scenes clips. But that’s not all the footage the singer, who directed the music video, had. She just shared a new clip on Spotify, which included a quick shot of her husband, Travis Kelce, supporting her on set. (You can see it at the 1:26 mark here.) He appears with his arms wrapped around her.
Swift filmed “Patient Zero” in March—months before she and Kelce got married in July.
She spoke about the song’s inspiration in a statement, telling Capital FM, “The story behind me writing the song ‘Patient Zero’ is that I was hanging out with a bunch of friends, and one of my friends told us that she had been reached out to by the new girlfriend of an ex of hers, asking for guidance on if she had had the same experiences with this guy. Everyone in our group just immediately started saying like, ‘Oh, I’ve been through that too,’ and telling the stories of when this kind of reach-out had happened for them.”
The singer has been vocal about how much Kelce backs her career. Last October, she told BBC 2 Radio that it’s one of the reasons they work so well as a couple.
“I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do, and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music,” she explained. “That’s the coolest thing about Trav: He is so passionate about what he does that me being passionate about what I do, it connects us. There’s no point in time where he’s going to be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making music, the music thing that I signed up for, that I knew you loved, I thought you were going to stop doing that.’”
“It just is the most fun thing in the world to be able to support each other,” she added.
