Taylor Swift Paid Homage to a Classic 1989 Film in Her New "Fortnight" Music Video

Taylor Swift Paid Homage to a Classic 1989 Film in Her New "Fortnight" Music Video.

Taylor Swift's first official music video from her eleventh studio album The Tortured Poets Department is here, and it pays homage to a classic 1989 film.

On Friday evening, Swift released the music video for her song "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone. The video is filmed completely in black-and-white, and features a cameo from two familiar faces for anyone who is a fan of the unparalleled film Dead Poets Society.

That's right: Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles cameo in the video—an undeniable ode to the 1989 classic starring the late, great Robin Williams. In the movie, Hawke and Charles play two students attending an all-boys preparatory school who, with the help of Williams' unconventional teaching methods, learn how to buck outdated traditions, unrealistic expectations and—as the famous movie's iconic line says—seize the day.

"'Todd' & 'Knox' from DEAD POETS SOCIETY are now PhDs in THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT," Hawke wrote on Instagram along with snapshots of the new music video and throwback photos of the actors starring in Dead Poets Society.
