Pop star Taylor Swift debuted her newest music video on Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards. The video, which was for her song “Patient Zero,” starred Colin Farrell and Swift’s good friend Dakota Johnson, and it even featured a cameo from a former NFL MVP.
The 14-time Grammy winner directed the music video, telling the story of a woman (Swift) that had lived through an abusive relationship with a man (Farrell) and how a new woman (Johnson) was experiencing the same nightmare. Now, some behind-the-scenes clips are starting to come out from the shoot.
While the music video is a heavy and tense topic, Swift kicked things off with the best way she knows how: homemade bread.
Swift brought members of the crew her special sourdough, offering original and blueberry lemon. The The Life of A Showgirl singer also got up at 4 a.m. to make it all possible. “Thank you for supporting my small, free business,” she said with a laugh.
You can see the full music video now on YouTube.
