MV Bejeweled is a product composed and directed by Taylor Swift herself, inspired by the well-known fairy tale Cinderella. “When I think about Midnights , I think to myself, when do we talk about midnight the most? Of course it is the fairy tale Cinderella. So what if I made a completely new version of Cinderella and invited my friends to join?,” Taylor Swift explained .

The stepmother is played by Oscar-winning actress Laura Dern, the stepsisters are played by the band HAIM, the prince is musician and music producer Jack Antonoff, makeup artist Pat McGrath is the queen, and Dita von Teese is the fairy godmother. The fact that Taylor Swift invited close friends to star in the Bejeweled MV reminds people of Taylor many years ago with the powerful #GirlsQuad team in the Bad Blood MV .

The only person who wasn’t close to Taylor before filming the MV was Laura Dern. The singer shared, “I picked up the phone and called: ‘Is that Laura Dern? I just wrote the script. Your line will call me a country girl.’ And she always agreed. She’s so cool. And now I have a new friend.”

Bejeweled : Everyone is a shining gem

Bejeweled opens with a witty skit. Taylor Swift plays Cinderella and is teased by her stepmother and stepsisters. But she didn’t care. Because she has the key to power and self-transformation. Then she meets fairy godmother Dita Von Teese, who teaches her a seduction class that leaves the prince spellbound. Then, as soon as she received a marriage proposal from the prince, she dumped him to choose her own castle.

If in the original fairy tale, people see Cinderella’s resignation, then in the Bejeweled version , Taylor Swift believes that Cinderella has enough power to overcome all hardships without needing a man. authorize. Through this independent image, viewers can partly understand the message that the female singer wants to convey. Each of us is a gem that can “light up a room when we enter”. And what’s the need for a prince if I can have my own castle?

When she first debuted, many people called Taylor Swift the princess of country music because of her feminine style and curly golden hair. Then when she switched to creating pop-influenced works, she chose a more modern and personal look with short hair and bold makeup. Now, in the MV Bejeweled , it can be seen that Taylor Swift has combined her two previous styles to become a more sexy but stronger version than ever.

The costumes are mainly regal style antique designs – very suitable for the Regencycore Fall Winter 2022 trend – such as capes and corsets. And true to the MV’s name, sparkling fashion dominates the MV.

Of course, to best convey the message, Taylor Swift cleverly chooses outfits that show her strong personality and break the rules. Therefore, corset, in the 17th century, was the lingerie worn inside to shape the body. Now Taylor chooses corset as outerwear.

In addition, the outfits in the Bejeweled MV also recall many of Taylor Swift’s previous looks, making fans excited.

Immediately after taking off her maid clothes, she put on a large sparkling cloak that hid a black corset underneath. The black cloak is reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s look in the MVs The Willow and Ready for it . Some fans think that it’s the same black gown, but this version is twice as sparkly, as if marking Taylor Swift’s return to gorgeous pop music.

Shaking off the cape, Taylor Swift revealed a black corset. It seemed so normal, but then thousands of stones flew and stuck all over the corset. With eye makeup, Taylor is extremely powerful and strong.

In the scene with Dita Von Teese, Taylor Swift wears a different, more seductive corset in a burlesque shape. Taylor’s appearance in this scene reminds of the MV Wildest Dream , which also created a big hit.

At each comeback, Taylor Swift not only entertains fans with creative and quality musical thinking. She is also doing a good job as a person conveying messages through images. “I wanted to make a video full of sparkles and surprises for fans,” the female singer said. And Taylor Swift did just that when MV Bejeweled reached 5.5 million views in just 11 hours since its release – certainly because fans were rewinding it!
