Joey King, Taylor Lautner, and Taylor Dome all praise Taylor Swift after the July 7 debut of her « I Can See You » music video. Watch it here.
Just hours after the release of « Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), » Taylor Swift surprised fans at her Kansas City show with the debut of her Easter-egg-filled music video for « I Can See You. » As the mastermind behind the music video, Swift served as both writer and director. She also ensured it had plenty of tie-ins to the « Speak Now » era thanks to the video starring Joey King, Taylor Lautner, and Presley Cash. (Cash and King starred in the 2011 music video for « Mean, » while Swift’s ex Lautner is the inspiration behind « Back to December. »)
Swift invited Lautner, Cash, and King on stage at her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City on July 7 to introduce the video before it played for a stadium full of excited fans. After backflipping his way onto the stage, Lautner praised Swift. « I respect you so much, » he said. « Not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, kind, and I’m honored to know you. »
In the video, the trio of actors work together to help spring Swift from a literal vault. The « Antihero » singer revealed on Instagram that she had long hoped to pull off the concept, which served as a metaphor for how her fans have supported her in her quest to reclaim her music.
