00:00 ♪ Mine isn't cool, no I don't like you ♪
00:04 Taylor Swift is not just a genius songwriter.
00:07 She's a blockbuster film director now too,
00:10 with the anticipated release of her new film
00:12 of her Eras Tour.
00:13 (dramatic music)
00:16 - Welcome to the Eras Tour.
00:17 (audience cheering)
00:18 - Taylor's music videos are also known
00:20 for captive storytelling,
00:22 and incredible production value as well.
00:25 So much so that there's a case to be made
00:27 that some of her music videos
00:29 should actually be turned into full length feature films.
00:32 ♪ What you just made me do ♪
00:33 ♪ Look what you just made me do ♪
00:35 So, with that being said,
00:37 here are the best potential feature film adaptations
00:41 of Taylor Swift's music videos.
00:43 We're gonna get it kicked off here with All Too Well.
00:46 ♪ We're in all too well ♪
00:49 A music video that's already been created
00:54 as a 10 minute long emotional roller coaster.
00:57 This feature film version would dive deeper
01:00 into the heartbreaking tale of a short-lived relationship
01:04 that crumbles due to a significant age gap.
01:07 Set against the changing seasons,
01:10 the film would capture the couple's love
01:12 during a warm autumn,
01:14 as it's filled with joy and togetherness.
01:16 ♪ We're dancing 'round the kitchen ♪
01:18 ♪ In the refrigerator light ♪
01:21 However, as winter arrives,
01:23 and it's a harsh winter indeed,
01:25 their relationship also faces the harsh realities
01:28 of the seasons changing.
01:30 Will the couple persevere?
01:32 I'm sorry, you're making me
01:33 really making the entire night about you.
01:34 - You were the perfect husband,
01:35 you didn't even look at me.
01:36 - Well, let's add some horror in there as well,
01:38 because why not spice it up?
01:40 So picture this, they're in an abandoned cabin in the woods,
01:43 and there's a masked serial killer on the loose.
01:46 ♪ They come with prices and vices ♪
01:49 ♪ I end up in crisis ♪
01:51 And here comes the climax,
01:53 where we reveal that the masked serial killer
01:55 is in fact Kanye West.
01:57 Ah, I love me a good horror twist.
02:02 Although I feel like the Kanye serial killer part
02:06 has a chance of actually happening in the real world.
02:09 Antihero.
02:10 Imagine turning Taylor Swift's Antihero
02:12 into a blockbuster film.
02:14 We'd step into the life of a wealthy woman,
02:16 who upon passing unexpectedly,
02:18 leaves her self-centered family in utter shock.
02:21 And when the will is read,
02:22 well, picture her kids gathering,
02:24 all expecting a larger slice of the fortune than the other.
02:28 Only to find out that their mother
02:30 has left them with zilch, zero.
02:32 Cue the confusion and the family drama,
02:34 as they try to figure out
02:35 why on earth she would do such a thing.
02:37 But here's the twist,
02:38 the woman's motive behind doing so
02:41 is not some secret treasure or long lost relative
02:45 who she secretly gave the money to,
02:47 but she just wanted to stir up chaos from beyond the grave.
02:50 She literally left them with nothing
02:52 just to remind them that she's the problem, it's her.
02:56 And hey, if you got similar vibes
02:58 from this adaptation to A Knives Out,
03:02 well, consider this movie as another addition
03:04 to the Knives Out franchise,
03:06 where Daniel Craig and Taylor Swift
03:08 come together and solve some sort of weird,
03:11 mystery, crimes and family stuff,
03:14 and well, it's a duo that the world needs right now.
03:17 You Belong With Me.
03:18 All right, picture this one.
03:20 It's a cute, but overlooked high school girl
03:23 quietly crushing on her neighbor
03:24 who's hooking up with the popular,
03:26 but seemingly insensitive cheerleader.
03:28 I know what you're thinking.
03:29 ♪ You belong with me ♪
03:33 Where's the calm in this rom-com?
03:35 Well, I say we sprinkle in a little unexpected scene
03:39 where Dan Levy plays the boy's dad
03:41 and walks into the kitchen
03:42 to see his son making love to an apple pie.
03:45 And ta-da, it's a masterpiece.
03:48 Cherry pie would work as well.
03:50 Anyways, our female protagonist, the high school girl,
03:52 who wears t-shirts instead of short skirts,
03:55 would dive into a journey of self-discovery and young love,
03:58 while she's desperately trying to make her crush see
04:01 that she's the one who truly gets him.
04:04 She's also learning a crucial lesson along the way.
04:07 You can't force someone to love you.
04:09 I still think the pie scene
04:10 should be squeezed in there somehow,
04:12 but we can leave that on the side for now.
04:16 The Man.
04:17 Okay, picture this one.
04:18 Ricky Gervais, our protagonist, gets a magical makeover,
04:22 transforming into a woman
04:24 to confront his own not-so-great behavior.
04:27 Now, Ricky Gervais has to experience life
04:29 through a female lens.
04:31 Why Ricky?
04:32 Well, he's just perfect for this role.
04:34 As Requina, as she now goes by,
04:37 navigates her newfound identity,
04:39 this movie dives deep into the stark differences
04:42 in societal expectations and privileges
04:44 between male and female.
04:46 And she is thrust into a world
04:48 where stereotypes and personal biases,
04:50 as well as double standards, become glaringly obvious.
04:54 The journey becomes a quest to challenge
04:56 and break down all the preconceptions,
04:58 while really championing the cause of gender equality.
05:01 It's Ricky Gervais' dream scenario.
05:04 Delicate.
05:05 See, not every Taylor film can have a comedy aspect.
05:08 This story would revolve around a young woman
05:10 who wakes up one morning
05:11 and is invisible to the rest of the world.
05:14 Initially hating the solitude and isolation
05:17 that come with her new circumstances,
05:19 she eventually discovers the silver lining.
05:21 She can get away with whatever the heck she wants.
05:25 Oh, well, maybe this could be a comedy.
05:28 See, as she learns to relish her invisible existence,
05:31 the character starts to embrace the freedom that it offers
05:34 when you're completely invisible
05:36 to everyone else around you.
05:37 She starts taking iPhones from Apple stores for free
05:40 and unlimited samples from the local ice cream shop.
05:44 And she's swinging on the park swings
05:46 to scare other people who are watching
05:48 and makes them think that there's a ghost on the swings
05:51 when it's really just this invisible woman.
05:53 It's genius.
05:54 I actually, I don't think it's a comedy anymore.
05:56 Because throughout the narrative,
05:57 she encounters others who share the same hidden status.
06:00 And they each come together to form a unique community
06:03 where they're just completely unbothered
06:05 by society's judgment.
06:06 And the core message starts to unfold,
06:08 which is that being delicate
06:10 is not synonymous with being invisible.
06:13 Instead, it's about discovering strength
06:15 and authenticity within one's vulnerability.
06:17 And of course, robbing Apple stores
06:19 to try the newest iPhone for free.
06:21 Hours.
06:22 ♪ But this love is ours ♪
06:25 - The movie unfolds the story
06:27 of an underappreciated office worker
06:29 navigating the trials of a demanding workload
06:32 and a challenging boss.
06:34 But then she meets her new flashy coworker,
06:36 and it's Brad Pitt.
06:38 And as this connection starts to deepen,
06:40 fueled by flirting and camaraderie,
06:43 Taylor Swift, our protagonist, and Brad Pitt
06:46 find the courage to break free
06:48 from this terrible nine-to-five monotonous routine.
06:51 And the film becomes a journey
06:52 of self-discovery and empowerment
06:54 as Taylor chooses honest and self-expression
06:57 over the walls of a nine-to-five job.
07:00 And then they all start fighting in underground club scenes
07:03 and betting on each other.
07:04 And it sounds like,
07:05 it sounds like Fight Club.
07:07 Yeah, because it is Fight Club.
07:10 All right, Blank Space.
07:11 Finally, a horror movie.
07:13 ♪ Babes, you can call me when it's over ♪
07:16 - It's a chilling tale of a lonely cat lady
07:18 who lives by herself in a huge, dark mansion.
07:20 She's able to continuously lure these men
07:22 into her house and her world
07:24 by playing this facade as a sugar mama.
07:27 However, she's really just trapping these men
07:29 in her basement, and they are never to be seen again.
07:31 This role screams Amy Schumer, in my opinion,
07:34 'cause it just does.
07:35 And then there's that climactic scene
07:37 where all these rich and pretentious guys
07:39 are forced to watch a full season
07:41 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
07:43 And then Amy Schumer comes back in
07:44 and she comes downstairs and she screams,
07:47 "Darling, I'm a nightmare!
07:49 "Dress like a daydream!"
07:50 And all the guys are like, "Oh my God!"
07:53 And then we roll the credits.
07:54 Wildest Dream.
07:55 ♪ Daring in a nice dress, daring at the sunset ♪
07:59 - Set against the stunning backdrop of the African tundra,
08:02 the film unfolds the story of two actors
08:05 brought together to shoot a movie.
08:06 See, their lives are colliding
08:08 against a breathtaking landscape.
08:10 And amidst the on-set chaos,
08:11 a passionate love affair begins and starts to blossom.
08:15 See, when they return to the US, however,
08:18 for the premiere of this movie,
08:20 the harsh reality sets in,
08:22 and their overseas love affair
08:24 turns out to just have been
08:25 a spur-of-the-moment type of thing.
08:27 And now they have to navigate the aftermath.
08:29 Is their love sustainable?
08:31 Was it true love?
08:33 Is this just the Lion King in disguise
08:35 and being filmed for the fifth time?
08:37 I don't know.
08:38 We've yet to find out.
08:39 All right, Bad Blood.
08:41 ♪ 'Cause baby now we got bad blood ♪
08:44 - Ah, the heart-pounding world of female assassins,
08:47 where style and sensuality and rebellion
08:49 all come together and collide.
08:51 This sci-fi and action-packed story
08:53 would revolve around a dynamic assassin duo
08:56 until one betrays the other,
08:57 leaving her for dead with a dagger to her back.
09:01 And in a twist of fate,
09:02 the betrayed assassin, obviously being played by Taylor Swift,
09:07 is miraculously rescued by a brilliant scientist,
09:10 obviously being played by Timothee Chalamet,
09:13 who rebuilds her and transforms her
09:16 into this machine AI version of an assassin
09:19 who seeks revenge.
09:21 So will robot Taylor get her revenge
09:23 on her other assassin partner,
09:25 who did I mention was Katy Perry?
09:27 I can't wait to watch this one.
09:29 So, which one of these movies
09:30 would you be most excited to see?
09:33 Have you seen all of Taylor's music videos?
09:35 If so, which ones are your favorite?
09:37 Let us know down in the comments below.
09:39 Me, well, I can't wait to see Ricky Gervais in a dress.
