Swift, with some help from Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, are starring alongside the singer in her new video for “Patient Zero,” the single that drops on Friday.

She released the teaser this week in advance of its full release on Sunday during the MTV VMAs, Variety reported.

The video, or as Variety called it a “cinematic teaser,” was created by Oscar-winner Emmanuel Lubezki, known for “The Revenant,” “Birdman,” and Tom Cruise’s new film “Digger.”

The awards show will also present the “Shake It Off” performer with the first Artist-Director Award.
