Music videos are shot in usually only 1-3 days, which can be easily packed into the tour schedule somewhere given she's only performing on the weekends, but the big issue is the where. It's gotta be someplace near a tour stop where the video crew can also meet quickly/easily. A video concept also has to be created and passed by everyone involved, many of which would be incredibly busy with the tour. So, it's completely doable in the sense that it is a thing that can be done with a bit of logistic planning and sacrifice, but it's significantly more of all that than a video shot outside of the tour schedule that it may not be worth it. Honestly, though, just take some footage from different performances of this on the tour, edit it all together with the OG audio and make that the official music video. Then at some point in the future she can go back and remake the video to be more story driven and artsy for the fans. Yes, they should definitely at least do a tour video, but I also see she has a few days off in late July/early August before her shows start in L.A. on Aug. 3, so if it can wait till then to shoot an actual video, L.A. would definitely be a place to do it!
We wouldn't get a video until like September then. :( I just picture a full out Lover theme.. Pink Blue and Purple colors in a Fairytale like setting.

Nope, won't do! No concert footage video for this one please, it's too good! If "Karma" gets a video, there is no way this one shouldn't! lol
Like someone mentioned above I could have sworn I heard she already filmed a video for it too.

There was an article posted several pages back that mentioned one was filmed in 2020 before the release was scrapped, but I think some people questioned the reliability of the website, maybe.
This has long been one of my favorite Taylor songs and it's been so fun watching this take off this summer. Like everyone, I do hope this has a proper video treatment and I really hope it can challenge for a Hot 100 #1.

If she had filmed a video, I suspect she would have released it at some point well before now (just as a gift to fans, since this was such a beloved song). I am assuming no video was made.
It could ALSO be plausible one WAS made, but if it was done 3 years ago in the Covid era, her team realizes a better one could be done now. Perhaps they want to incorporate new Easter eggs into it (a huge Taylor thing to do).
Im still thinking there is no video.

Real video or nothing! Tour videos are so pointless.

I don't think there was enough of a window for her to shoot a video before COVID. Didn't The Man drop just a couple weeks before the lockdowns started?
ME! instead of this was a mistake but little is said about how the era went four singles deep and this wasn't even the fourth.

She addressed this on tour and said she was going to release it, but COVID kept it from ever being released (given the title of the song and what was transpiring in the world at the time).

I know but the fact that she was gonna give it fifth single treatment... Taylor girl make some sense. I can defend YNTCD due to Pride Month and Lover because it's a great song and did well, but the other two picks... No way it would have done close to what it's doing now on the charts.

Yeah "The Man" while a solid album track was a terrible single choice and "Me!" was just downright treachery.

This really doesnβt need anything more than a concert video. The energy captured in that would far surpass any silly concept.

Coming through with TSUs at the point where her songs usually slow down. Legendary!

I think the most likely scenario now is that at some point Taylor will simultaneously hold the top 2, and she'll also replace herself at the top.
