Sure, Taylor Swift did a great job at writing, performing in and directing her âFortniteâ music video (which has only dropped a couple days ago and already at over 30 million views)âŠbut you know what could make it even better? Having a dog perform all the parts, thatâs what!
And thatâs exactly the treat we received, thanks to an adorable dachshund named Lucas.
The clip (aptly titled âFortnight (Lucasâ version)â) recreates the music videoâs black-and-white typewriter scene, where the camera alternates between a moody Swift and Post Malone clacking as they lament about how much love is âruiningâ their lives. you know, basic tortured poets stuff.
Only this time, Lucas plays both the rolesâcostumes as all! Major kudos to Lucasâ parent, who clearly has an eye for detail and camera angles. Both the original video and Lucasâ video play simultaneously so you can really see how similar they are.
âI look like @taylorswift in this light, iâm lovinâ it đ€đ€,â the clip caption says.
Watch below. Spoiler alert: get ready to see little doggy paws in lace gloves.
Down in the comments, people were enthralled.
One person wrote, "THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTIONâ
"Magical!!!!!!!" another added.
Though clearly Lucasâs is a whole ânother level of Swiftie, is he not the only dog to be a fan. In an experiment produced by WoofWoof, dogs were âvisibly more relaxedâ by her music than other artists in the study. Her songs got more tail wagging and even more âhowls of approval.â Thatâs right, her music transcends species.
Just like Taylor Swift, Lucas has many, many more music videos where they came from, including âThe Archer,â âHoaxâ and âYou Belong with Me.â And just like Swift, he outdoes himself with every new project.
