Taylor Swift is heading to the UK next week for a top-secret music video shoot for the track 'Elizabeth Taylor' from her 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' The video, according to a source for The Sun, will pay homage to the British-born Hollywood icon, capturing scenes in London to reflect her roots and legacy. The outlet suggests production for the video will be luxurious and feminine. Swifties, therefore, can expect a stroll across the England capital the pop titan has long loved, with the '60s legend's glamorous life and timeless influence forming major themes of the cinematic short.

Speaking about the track at the album’s release party, Taylor Swift, per The Sun, said it explores fame, attention, love, and anxiety about life’s fleeting moments. She explained that while she referenced details from Elizabeth Taylor’s life, the emotions conveyed are ones she has personally experienced repeatedly. Swift described the track as moving from soft, elegant moments into a hard-hitting chorus, calling it one of her favorites. Notably, so far, only one 'The Life of a Showgirl' track has received a music video treatment.
