How Does Taylor Swift Plan Her Easter Eggs? Cara Delevingne Says…

“That whole bit was so incredible,” she mused. “I loved being in the know for that. I felt so special.”

Meanwhile, it was even more thrilling to live the true life as a showgirl alongside the Grammy winner in the making of the video, more than 10 years after her cameo in “Bad Blood.”

“We talk on the phone often but she called me and was like, ‘I have a great idea,’” Delevingne shared. “She usually only has great ideas but when she mentioned that, I was like, ‘Of course, yes.’ Anything she asks you to do, it’s pretty much an instant yes.”

For Delevingne, the hardest part of the entire process was knowing places where she could hide the surprise. 

“I remember hearing the song for the first time and being like, ‘Ugh, this is going to take so long to come out, I know it’ and now, it’s an earworm and I just wanted it to come out so badly,” she continued. “The day was amazing. Dakota and Colin are amazing. Everyone on the shoot was amazing.”

What grabbed her headfirst, though, was seeing Swift give the people what they want and keep it moving on set. 

“I always get to see her when she’s performing and stuff,” Delevingne explained. “But seeing her as a director and that kind of creative and demanding but also being such a collaborator. She is a multi-talented person.”

Meanwhile, Wild Horse Nine director Martin McDonagh—who spoke at length with Swift shortly after she began her foray into directing in 2022 and has collaborated with Farrell multiple times—expressed a similar sentiment, highlighting the power of Farrell and Swift’s meeting of the minds. 

“Taylor’s amazing, Colin’s amazing,” McDonagh—who was being honored as an innovator for film at the event—told E! News in a separate interview. “That’s a great partnership, actually.”
