Taylor Swift unveiled a new behind-the-scenes look from the set of the music video for her new single “The Man” on Tuesday (March 10).
“Here’s more footage of behind the scenes of me directing The Man video with a female voice and demeanor/ dude body and face! Just to make your day weirder!” she wrote on Twitter alongside a sneak peek of the footage.
In the clip, the superstar explains why she decided to make her solo directorial debut with the gender-bending visual — and turns out, it was partially out of convenience. “I wanted to use a female director but it just so happened that I couldn’t really get it done in time with anybody else, ’cause everybody’s busy,” she says with a laugh. “So I was like, ‘You know, I know exactly what I want this video to be; I know exactly who I would use as DP and as AD. Why don’t I just try this — directing for the first time alone? It just was the easiest and quickest way to get this video done the way that I wanted to do it.”
Featured as the fourth single from 2019’s Lover, “The Man” has so far peaked just outside the Top 20 of the Hot 100, cresting at No. 23.
