Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" Director Worsens Video Controversy
FUSE TV - Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" Director Worsens Video Controversy
Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video debuted Sunday night; like all her 1989 visuals, it's sumptuous and high budget. But its almost exclusively white cast, coupled with the fact it was filmed on location in Botswana and South Africa, has engendered headlines like:
- Taylor Swift Is Dreaming of a Very White Africa [NPR]
- Taylor Swift’s Logic-Defying “African Safari” Fiasco [Salon]
- The Big Problem With Taylor Swift's New Music Video That Nobody Is Talking About [Mic]
Following the critiques, Reuters contacted Joseph Kahn, the 42-year-old director behind "Wildest Dreams," as well as Swift's "Bad Blood," Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie," Muse's "Knights of Cydonia," Blink-182's "Always," Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'"—the 25-year list goes on and on.
