Taylor Swift is on track to debut with sales of over 1 million first week with her new album ‘Midnights.’

And while that would be enough to make even the hardest worker rest on their laurels, the Pop titan is doing the polar opposite.

Instead, she’s unlocking a series of visuals – the latest being for ‘Bejeweled.’

Directed by the singer herself, the whimsical video – which follows ‘Anti-Hero’ – features a number of notable names.

Speaking on the clip, Swift said:

“Bejeweled video is out NOW! Directed by this tired tacky wench. Got to make this with my best friends HAIM, greatest of greats Laura Dern , icon of burlesque and glamour Dita Von Teese, genius and actual dame @patmcgrathreal and my partner in Midnights mayhem Jack Antonoff.”

A career as captivating as Angela Bassett‘s undoubtedly has peaks and troughs that skew both public and private. And the superstar opens up about all in the November / December issue of Essence Magazine. 

Covering the latest edition of the publication in illustrated form, Bassett draws on a variety of narratives to make clear that her story is one defined by colors – both light and dark, challenges, and overcoming the tallest of obstacles.

Within her candid feature, the 64-year-old talks about the “butterflies” she felt on set reprising her role as matriarch Ramona in Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster, ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘ (which premieres on November 11).

Bassett also waxed candid about the juxtaposition between breaking through with her Oscar-nominated portrayal of Tina Turner in the biopic ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ and the reality that it didn’t multiply her opportunities at the time.
