Taylor Swift has praised Katy Perry's new video for "Not the End of the World", calling the Zooey Deschanel-starring visual "genius".
Earlier this week Katy Perry unveiled the video for her Smile album track "Not the End of the World", which sees Zooey Deschanel (who looks a lot like Katy Perry) get mistakenly abducted by aliens and ends up saving Earth.
Yesterday (22 December) Swift responded to Perry's Tweet with the video link with a gif of Deschanel, simply writing, "THIS IS GENIUS".

Swift and Perry buried their feud after Perry starred in Swift's "You Need To Calm Down" video in June 2019.
