Taylor Swift's latest music video may be missing one Taylor but is packed with another.

On March 31, the 14-time Grammy winner dropped the music video for her song "Elizabeth Taylor," the third from herThe Life of a Showgirlalbum. The video is a gorgeous montage of archival red carpet footage of Elizabeth Taylor and snippets from some of her most famous roles includingCat on a Hot Tin RoofandCleopatra.

Film buffs and fans of the screen siren will also recognize moments fromFather of the Bride,A Place in the Sun,Giant,Suddenly, Last Summer,Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, andJulia Misbehaves. Close-ups of her violet eyes and stunning diamond jewelry are sprinkled throughout the clip as well.

The montage of Taylor's movies and red carpet b-roll footage fits in with the lyrics. For example, "All my white diamonds and lovers are forever," zooms into a massive diamond ring, while "In the papers, on the screen and in their minds," cuts to Taylor on a Hollywood date night.

Swift's song plays over the video; however, Swift is nowhere to be seen. Her most recent music videos for"Opalite"and"The Fate of Ophelia"from her albumThe Life of a Showgirlwere much more involved with set designs and choreography.

The supercut focuses mainly on the actress, who was married eight times to seven different men (she wed and divorcedRichard Burtontwice) and died in 2011 at the age of 79.

At the end of the music video, Swift thanks the House of Taylor & Elizabeth Taylor Trust, along with the Todd family and the Wilding family. Taylor was married to Mike Todd and Michael Wilding.

In October, Swift said that she contacted the estate of Taylor to let them know she was writing a song about the two-time Oscar winner, as she lets "real people" know if they're about the be name-dropped in her music. "And if it's Elizabeth Taylor, we go to their family and her estate and let them know and they were lovely about it."

This isn't the first time Swift mentioned Taylor in her songs. On "...Ready For It?," the opening track to her 2017 albumReputation, Swift sings about Taylor and Burton's relationship. "And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor / Every love I've known in comparison is a failure," she says.

Taylor's sonChristopher Wilding told PEOPLE in October 2025that he thinks the singer and his late mother "seem like kindred spirits." "They are both the very embodiment of female empowerment. The way [Swift] has deftly captured the similarities and parallel tracks in their careers and personal lives is delightful."

The "Elizabeth Taylor" music video is available to stream on Spotify with a premium subscription and Apple Music.

Final Four predictions: AI picks winners of Illinois-UConn, Arizona-Michigan games

Will two Big Ten teams face off with anational championship on the line?No. 3 seed Illinois and No. 1 Michigan are on opposite sides of theFinal Fourin 2026, and could guarantee the Big Ten the NCAA Tournament championship with wins in the national semifinals.

The Fighting Illini take on No. 2 Connecticut, while the Wolverines face fellow No. 1 seedArizona, each on Saturday, April 4. The winners will move onto the national championship game on Monday, April 6, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

REQUIRED READING:Final Four predictions: Who will advance to national championship game?

The last Big Ten school to win a national championship was Michigan State in 2000, Tom Izzo's fifth season at the helm. The Huskies, meanwhile, are looking for their third national championship in four seasons under Dan Hurley, who's quickly rising the all-time coaching ranks.

The Wildcats have won one national championship in their history, which came in 1997. They last made the Final Four in 2001, and are looking to get back to college basketball's mountaintop.

What does Artificial Intelligence think about the Final Four in 2026? Here's how AI predicted the two matchups to go:

AI predicts Final Four games

No. 3 Illinois vs No. 2 UConn

Microsoft Copilot is impressed with Illinois' offense, but also thinks UConn's veteran presence and ability to win games late is important.

"Best offense left in the tournament," Copilot said of Illinois. "Illinois brings elite scoring versatility, with multiple shooters and one of the nation’s best offensive rebound rates."

The AI was also complementary of true freshmanKeaton Wagler, one of the top remaining players in the NCAA Tournament.

"Since their November loss to UConn, Wagler has become a top‑10 NBA prospect and a dominant scorer — far more impactful than in the first meeting," Copilot said.

On the other hand, Copilot acknowledges Tarris Reed Jr. could be a matchup problem for Illinois, and that UConn wears teams down defensively.

"He’s averaging dominant numbers inside and could force Illinois into foul trouble or defensive adjustments," Copilot said of Reed. "They just survived Duke on a last‑second 3 and have shown resilience in multiple close games."

Copilot actually predicts an upset, taking Illinois in a close one.

"Illinois’ offensive versatility, improved defense, and Wagler’s rise give them the edge in a matchup where UConn’s inconsistent perimeter shooting could finally catch up to them," Copilot said.

• Score prediction: Illinois 76, UConn 71

No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 1 Michigan

Copilot noted both teams' dominance in the Men's NCAA Tournament as reasons to be excited for the Final Four matchup between Michigan and Arizona, noting Michigan outscored its opponents by 90 points in March Madness to Arizona's 82 points.

Copilot also noted Michigan's balance, acknowledging the Wolverines rank No. 1 in adjusted defensive efficiency and No. 5 in adjusted offensive efficiency, per KenPom. It also is impressed by Yaxel Lendeborg, a first-team All-American who scored 27 points against Tennessee in the Elite Eight.

But Copilot likes Arizona's balance and interior scoring a bit more than Michigan.

"Their starting lineup is the deepest and most balanced in the Final Four," the AI said. "Analysts consistently note Arizona’s edge on the glass and at the rim will be key in a game this evenly matched."

Ultimately, Copilot is going with Arizona to take down mighty Michigan for a spot in the national championship.

"This is the heavyweight fight everyone expected, but Arizona’s superior rim finishing, rebounding edge, and deeper scoring options give them a slight advantage," Copilot predicts.

• Score prediction: Arizona 78, Michigan 74
