Last night at the VMAS, Along with Miley Cyrus and Kanye West, Taylor Swift had the chance to drop a surprise: her video for "Wildest Dreams".
It's styled as a 1940s romance flick, with vintage Hollywood glamour in abundance, and our leading lady lovestruck on safari struggling with her secret affections for her co-star. There's lots of wide shots of the landscape, and plenty of greenscreen so that Swift didn't become lion chow.
Swift has also pledged all the proceeds from the video to animal conservation charity, the African Parks Foundation of America.
As with the lots of her clips for 1989 singles, "Wildest Dreams" is directed by Joseph Kahn.
Watch the clip below.
