\"I've been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever,\" Swift wrote.

\"I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight,\" she continued.

The video, which is in black and white, begins with Swift in a psych ward of sorts, wiping her face to reveal tattoos similar to Malone's. In another scene, she walks into a room wearing a black Victorian mourning dress, where others, including Malone, are typing on vintage typewriters. She types the lyrics of the song, \"I love you, it's ruining my life.\"

The song was met with immediate success, with Spotify announcing \"Fortnight\" became its most streamed song in a single day on Friday, April 19, the day the album dropped.
