Taylor Swift has broken yet another record. This time around, it\u2019s the record for most VMA wins in history, one she secured by claiming the first-ever Artist Directors Honours. This means she has officially surpassed her shared record with Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>What better way to celebrate such an achievement than to share the world-premiere of the music video to her new single Patient Zero? I mean, come on, it\u2019s Taylor \u2013 of course she can\u2019t just simply accept the award.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I hate to say it, but the video itself is kind of basic. Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell star alongside Swift as a dysfunctional couple, one that followed Swift\u2019s very own toxic relationship with Farrell. I get the point she\u2019s trying to make (a point that feels quite pointed towards her ex Joe Alwyn, but honestly, it could be about any of her exes), and so I understand why it couldn\u2019t be all poppy and light. But the bland colour palette is just a bit blah, and the short acting interlude halfway through doesn\u2019t really add much flavour. But hey, the star power is still there, I guess.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Taylor Swift accepts the award. \" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/791b8972167fabd86b58e880ded1422f293758d3.jpeg\"  class=\"sc-d34e428-1 ldCIuB\"\/>Taylor Swift accepts the award. AP Photo\/Chris Pizzello<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got to start making music videos\u2026 20 years ago and since then I\u2019ve gotten to be a part of making 60 music videos, roughly,\u201d Swift said before sharing the video. \u201cEighteen of those I wrote and directed and I really love writing and directing music videos. The main reason why I love that is because you, the fans, make it so much fun. You make it so rewarding. You actually care about what we\u2019re making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying that Swift is a visionary, a poet, a mastermind \u2013 all words used to describe her before the pop juggernaut took to the stage \u2013 and this record simply re-affirms that. It\u2019s just a shame the video fell flat.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dakota Johnson, left, gives Swift a hug. \" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/810140f085029d9ec34c2e8edbc4fc54d2ed955c.jpeg\"  class=\"sc-d34e428-1 ldCIuB\"\/>Dakota Johnson, left, gives Swift a hug.
