Taylor decorated the Bejeweled MV with a “psychotic” amount of Easter eggs

On October 25, Taylor Swift surprised fans by releasing her music video, “Bejeweled,” which puts an interesting twist on the classic fairy tale Cinderella. As always, fans dissected the video for hidden details, and what they found was, well, a cornucopia of sparkling secret messages.

while on The Tonight Show On Oct. 25, Swift told host Jimmy Fallon that her “Bejeweled” music video features a “psychotic amount” of Easter eggs. In fact, the star said she had to create a PDF for all of the Easter eggs in her video to keep track of them all.

“Bejeweled” is the second music video from Swift’s new album, midnight. Adapted from the “Anti-Hero” music video, “Bejeweled” stars Swift as Cinderella and features the Haim sisters Danielle, Este and Alana as their evil stepsisters, while Laura Dern plays their evil stepmother. Jack Antonoff, Dita Von Teese and Pat McGrath also make impressive guest appearances.

As for those many Easter eggs, well, they start at the beginning of the music video. Fans first noticed that an orchestral version of “Enchanted” introduces the video. The track is from Swift’s third studio album, Speak Nowwhich she dropped in October 2010. This is just the first of many Speak Now References in the video.

In fact, Dern appeared to be doing another Speak Now Reference by telling Swift, who is wiping one of her sisters’ vomit off the floorboards, to “not speak.”

Dern also told Swift that she was “exiled,” which is why she couldn’t go to the talent show at the prince’s castle, which her stepsisters gleefully boasted about entering. One fan thought Dern’s choice of words might have been a reference to Swift’s song “Exile,” which is featured on her eighth studio album. folklore. Could it mean that “Bejeweled” and “Exile” are connected? More on this question in a moment.

Danielle Haim then calls Swift a “snake,” which is mostly an Easter egg for her Call Era when Swift started using snake imagery after Kim Kardashian called her a snake amid their feud in 2016.

When the Haim sisters leave Swift to attend the talent show, they sing “Hangover Song.” This is a hilarious reference to a TikTok trio posted in March from a made-up song about hangovers.

After the sisters left, Swift grinned for the camera and began planning her escape to the talent show. Once she looked left at a portrait on the wall. Did you catch who it was? It was Antonoff, Swift’s longtime collaborator.

A magical clock then appeared out of nowhere. When Swift opened it, the phrase “End of Exile” can be read on the face of the watch, which has the number two emblazoned on the underside.

One fan pointed out that the picture could represent that in two weeks Swift will be legally allowed to record her Call album, which means that she almost left “exile”.

This comes three years after Scooter Braun acquired Big Machine Records, which owns the masters of Swift’s first six albums, in 2019. Corresponding Rolling StoneBy law, Swift can’t record her albums for five years after their release.

Since Call was Swift’s final release on Big Machine Records, meaning that following their five-year anniversary on November 10, she officially has the rights to re-record all of her previous albums under the label.

Okay, there are more Easter eggs to go. When Swift enters an elevator while sneaking out of the house, she’s wearing a sparkly black cape. This reminded fans of the cape she wore in her “Willow” music video.

Swift first exits the elevator to walk through a jewel forest, dropping her cape and collecting various dazzling accessories along the way, before re-entering the elevator and exiting on a different floor. Then she reappears in a white sparkling lingerie set. This transformation could symbolize the star beginning his forest-related indie era folklore and always behind her and with the transition back to pop music midnight.

The most exciting part of the music video came when Swift appeared to tease that she would be releasing a re-recorded version of her Speak Now next album. In the elevator, Swift clicked the purple button for the third floor. In view of Speak Now was Swift’s third album and the artwork featured the singer in a purple dress. Fans crossed their fingers and hoped the record would make a comeback.

A fan also noticed that the button for the 13th floor was also purple. Since Swift’s next album would technically be her 13th if you include her new releases, the color might also indicate her next release will be Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).

At the end of the music video, Swift won the talent show and was crowned Miss Bejeweled. The honorific could be a callback to her “Junior Jewels” t-shirt from her “You Belong With Me” music video. The track was featured on Swift’s second album, Fearlesswhich fell in March 2009.

Swift hid another clue Speak Now in the video. The final scene featured an instrumental version by Swifts Track from the album “Long Live”.

As if that wasn’t enough, Swift released her music video “Bejeweled” to celebrate the 12th anniversary of Speak Now. The album was released on October 25, 2010.
