Singer Taylor Swift released this Friday (27/1) the video for “Lavender Haze”, a song from her latest album, “Midnights”. Directed by the singer herself, the clip shows Swift wrapped in a lavender mist (literal translation of the song’s name) and submerged in a lavender bathtub, in an analogy to being in love with her.
The clip, which appears to be set in the 1970s as indicated by the scenarios and technologies presented, also stars transgender model Laith Ashley, who initially appears in the bedroom with the singer and later in a nightclub.
“Lavender Haze” is one of the few songs on the album that Swift has confirmed is explicitly about her longtime boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. Prior to the album’s release, Swift said that “when you’re in the lavender haze, you’ll do anything to stay there”, even if the world wants “opinion” about the person you like.
“I came across the phrase ‘Lavender Haze’ while watching ‘Mad Men’ and looked it up because I thought it sounded good,” she said in a video shared two weeks before the release of “Midnights.” “And it turns out that’s a common phrase used in the 1950s, when they described being in love, like you were in a lavender haze, and that meant you were in that all-encompassing glow of love, and I thought that was really beautiful.” .”
