Taylor Swift Releases 'Wildest Dreams' Music Video Starring Scott Eastwood (VIDEO)
Taylor Swift recently released her "Wildest Dreams" music video featuring Scott Eastwood as her love interest.
Pop singer Taylor Swift starred in an "Out Africa"-themed music video with "The Longest Ride" actor, Scott Eastwood, for her "Wildest Dreams" single from her fifth album, "1989."
The video, set in an African Savannah in the 1950s during the golden age of cinema, follows the story of fictional brunette actress Marjorie Finn (Swift) shooting a romantic adventure film, "Wildest Dreams," in the desert with co-actor, Robert Kingsley (Eastwood).
The two develop feelings for each other and begin a love affair on set that deteriorates as the shoot progresses, ending in the two having a fight in front of the cast and crew.
At the movie premiere, Finn arrives on the red carpet only to see Kingsley with another woman. It turns out both of them were married to other people the whole time they carried out their affair during production, as evidenced by a shot of their right hands wearing wedding bands.
At the end of the music video, Finn runs out brokenhearted, and Kingsley follows too late to catch her as her car leaves the theater.
Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video made its debut during the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, and portrays what the music industry is calling the singer's most adult video yet, containing several steamy love scenes with Eastwood, who is the splitting image of his famous father, Hollywood action icon, Clint Eastwood, at the same age.
The music video featured shots of African wild animals, including a lion, a giraffe, and a herd of zebras. At the end of the clip, it is explained Swift will be donating the proceeds of video to the African Parks Foundation of America to aid in their wild animal conservation efforts.
"Wildest Dreams," which reached number six in Australian music charts and placed 76th on the US Billboard Hot 100, was directed by Swift's "Bad Blood" and "Blank Space" director, Joseph Kahn.
