Taylor Swift had massive success when she launched the music video for her fourth 1989 single "Bad Blood" at the MTV Movie Awards, and now she's looking to reproduce that No. 1 hit with her next single, "Wildest Dreams." Over the weekend, the pop megastar teased the release of her new music video, which is set to premiere at this year's VMAs.
Swift once again tapped her "Bad Blood" music video director Joseph Kahn for "Wildest Dreams," which took him to Africa.
When I said I was on vacation, I lied. I was in Africa shooting a #ToothPasteCommercial. Which is WILDEST DREAMS. https://t.co/gcevTdr7pP

The resulting clip, which Swift rolled out on her Instagram, seems to mix together the wild part of the song with its dreamy sexuality. Beginning and ending with close-up shots of Swift's eye, the short Instagram teaser also features artistic shots of zebras, horses, desert and a flying hawk.

The music video will debut during the VMAs pre-show.
Swift will not just be premiering the music video for "Wildest Dreams" at the VMAs, she also leads this year's nominations thanks to "Bad Blood" and "Blank Space." She's up for 11 awards in total, including the much-coveted Video of the Year.
