Taylor Swift confirmed her “Patient Zero” music video with Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell will premiere at the Sept. 27 MTV VMAs. In a 13-second teaser shared to her Instagram Sept. 24, the video portrays somber tones, with one scene seeing Johnson and Swift standing in front of a gravestone that appears to have the words “daughter” and “gone too soon” on the front. One fan considered the moment to be a call back to Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” music video, where she rises from a grave marked with the pseudonym she used to write “This is What You Came For” with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris. Meanwhile, Johnson and Farrell’s casting in the music video appears to be an Easter egg in and of itself. In an Emmys 2026 sketch, Swift—whose Encore project will release Sept. 25—delivered a confusing jumble of words including “Saccharide, Ares, from the vineyard, North or South,” and one fan noted that the Verity actress could be the answer to the final clue. “‘North or South’” the fan posited in an X post, referencing the states bearing Johnson’s first name, “Being an Easter egg for (Dakota) Johnson.” As for Farrell? “Saccharide” could be a nod to his role in the Apple TV drama Sugar. As one X user put it, “Colin Farrell literally plays John Sugar in Sugar the TV show!!!!"
