Dakota Johnson says her collaboration with Taylor Swift on Swift’s “Patient Zero” music video came from a long-standing friendship. Multiple outlets report that Johnson is featured in the video, alongside Colin Farrell, and that Swift has shared teaser clips confirming Johnson’s casting.
Johnson discusses how the decision to work together feels natural because she and Swift are “constantly talking about work and art and life.” She adds that they have mutual respect for each other’s creativity and describes the experience as enjoyable. During premieres and promotional events for her film “Verity,” Johnson explains that she decided to collaborate despite the usual advice not to work with friends.
Outlets also note the timing and release plans for the video. Swift is directing the “Patient Zero” music video, and reports say it is set to be unveiled during the MTV Video Music Awards period, with teaser material released shortly before the premiere. Across coverage, the focus is on Johnson’s behind-the-scenes comments and the public buildup created by Swift’s cryptic teasers.
