She said three days after her announcement during a radio interview with Capital FM in the UK, “The story behind me writing the song ‘Patient Zero’ is that I was hanging out with a bunch of friends, and one of my friends told us that her ex’s new boyfriend had reached out, asking for guidance if she had had the same experiences with this guy.”
Swift said at the time that “everyone” in the group “immediately started saying, like, ‘Oh, I’ve been through that too,’ and telling the stories of when this kind of outreach had happened to them.”
She concluded, “I thought to myself, ‘If this has happened to all of us, it’s kind of such an interesting angle on humanity and relationships, and I wonder if I could write something from the perspective of this phone call, and really just from the perspective and perspective of the ex-person who’s been through it before.
Joining Johnson, 37, in the video are other famous friends Colin Farrell, Cara Delevingne and Matthew Stafford.
Swift spoke in detail about the song via Instagram on September 28, as well, noting that she was grateful to their colleagues for their efforts. “I want to thank @dakotajohnson and Colin for trusting me with their time, taste and talent (it was a new and very enjoyable experience to go with your friend because you connect for a full picture),” she wrote at the time. “And Colin’s turn as a villain is even more impressive when you get to be around him. He’s as light and kind as they come. @caradelevingne, thank you for agreeing to play the other cute lady. That’s what friends are for?”
