“I just wanted to first of all say thank you so much to Amazon for giving me an opportunity to show you guys a first look teaser trailer of the secret projects that I’ve been working on for a really long time,” Swift said in a message at the start of the teaser. “Those projects are the ‘Midnights’ music movies, the music videos that I’ve made for this album to sort of explore visually the world of this record. And I love storytelling, I love songwriting, I love writing videos, I love directing them.”

She continued, “And this was a really fun opportunity to work again with the cinematographer Rina Yang, who was my collaborator on the ‘All Too Well’ 10-minute short film. So we really wanted to challenge ourselves to do different things this time around and stretch and I’m really proud of what we made and I really hope you like them. We worked with some amazing actors, which you’ll find out more about at the end of the teaser trailer.”

As Variety notes, said actors include Alana Haim, Danielle Haim and Este Haim of the band Haim; album producer Jack Antonoff; model Laith Ashley; comedian Mike Birbiglia; Oscar winner Laura Dern; comedian John Early; Mary Elizabeth Ellis; makeup mogul Pat McGrath and burlesque icon Dita Von Teese. However, the teaser itself mainly featured Swift, sporting a plethora of colorful looks ranging from a ’20s-inspired flapper dress to a sparkling cape to a Marie Antoinette-esque outfit.

The trailer was premiered earlier on Amazon Prime Video, where it was aired during this week’s Thursday Night Football. Taking to her twitter handle, Swift revealed that the first music video will be for “Anti-Hero” and premieres October 21 at 8 a.m. ET. “Anti-Hero” is the third track on the album, and was written by Swift and Antonoff.

If you tune into the ‘Thursday Night Football’ game on Amazon Prime, I’m going to be showing a first look at the secret projects that I’ve been working on very hard for a very long time, getting ready for the ‘Midnights’ album.”
