With Taylor Swift‘s next music video just hours away, Swifties are dissecting the teaser for clues.
After Swift, 34, shared a glimpse at the new visual for ‘Fortnight‘, fans noticed the artist appeared to repurpose her look from the 66th Grammy Awards and possibly made a nod to pal Emma Stone‘s latest role.
‘SHES WEARING HER GRAMMY DRESS IN THE LAST TWO CLIPS WHAAAAT’ wrote one fan in a TikTok comment.
She sports a gown by Australian designer Toni Maticevski in the video, bearing a strong resemblance to the custom Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli number she wore to the ceremony in February.
The strapless square-neck white gown she wore to the awards show featured a bodice with a ruched thigh-high leg slit.
Swift wore the look with a pair of black opera gloves and a matching choker, finished with chain necklaces and a pair of black open-toe stilettos.
The ‘Down Bad’ artist wore the dress as she announced the album while accepting her lucky 13th Grammy, taking home Best Pop Album for Midnights.
Swifties speculated that the bridal look was a message to ex Joe Alwyn, who reportedly ‘refused to marry’ her before they ended their six-year relationship in 2023.
In anticipation of the album, Swifties have already sniffed out apparent nods to her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the lyrics, as well as exes Alwyn, 33, and Matty Healy.
Swift dated Healy, 35, last year, following the end of her relationship with Alwyn.
Fans have speculated that the song title ‘So Long, London’ is a reference to the British actor, as well as the lyric: ‘I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all.’
Swift has since shared a statement that the album represents a ‘chapter closed and boarded up‘ in her life.
As she teased the video for ‘Fortnight’, fans also compared a Victorian dress and the video’s institutional vibes to Stone’s Oscar-winning film Poor Things.
‘Someone watched Poor Things lol,’ someone wrote in the comments.
‘Why does it remind of a that new Emma Stone movie Poor Things,’ another wrote.
Swift previously showed Stone, 35, her support at the movie’s New York premiere in December.
The Midnights artist also cheered on her friend at the Golden Globes in January, when Stone won Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture for her portrayal of Bella Baxter.
Swift also hooked Stone up with tickets to the opening night of her Eras Tour in Glendale, California last March.
‘The concert was pretty amazing,’ Stone told Vanity Fair last June. ‘I was lucky ’cause we’ve been friends for a really long time.
‘I’ve known her since we were 17 and 18, so she hooked me up, which was very nice ’cause I know those tickets are impossible to get.’
Stone raved of Swift, ‘She’s a wonderful friend. She blows my mind.’
The ‘Fortnight’ teaser also earned references to old Hollywood and Clara Bow, who’s also namedropped on the album’s track list.

‘It’s giving golden age of film, black swan,’ wrote one fan, as another added: ‘IM CLAIMING CLARA BOW.’
Swift previously announced ‘Fortnight’ as the album’s lead single in an Instagram post on Thursday.
Although the album allegedly leaked on social media earlier this week, TPD has broken Spotify’s record as the most pre-saved countdown page in the streaming platform’s history.
The TPD release comes amid a two-month break from Swift’s record-smashing Eras Tour, which resumes May 9 in France.
The Tortured Poets Department is now available for streaming and download, and the ‘Fortnight’ music video drops Friday at 8pm ET.
