“The idea I came up with for this track video was sort of a journey throughout all these different ways in which over time periods, historically, you could be a showgirl,” she shared of the video, via Variety. “Like, how you would be in the public eye back during the 1800s, when you’d sit for a Pre-Raphaelite painting. Or you could be a showgirl by being a cabaret burlesque club performer. You could be a theatrical actor putting on a performance. You could a Vegas showgirl. You could be one of the girls in the Busby Berkeley screen-siren era of the ‘30s and ‘40s. You could be a pop singer on the Eras Tour.”
Her excitement for the video is also because “we got everybody back together from the Eras Tour. All of the performers that you saw on that stage are back in this track video, as well as so many of the people who worked behind the scenes to create the Eras Tour.”
