LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A new behind-the-scenes clip from Taylor Swift's 'Fortnight' music video showed her misjudging her own strength and throwing a table against a wall—which stunned both her and one of her crew members.

Swift released an exclusive behind-the-scenes video from the music video for 'Fortnight', featuring her significant partner Post Malone, following the song's chart-topping success.

The 14-time Grammy winner posted videos on Friday, June 21, that gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at her creative process.



 

Taylor Swift makes crew member wince by hurling table behind-the-scenes footage

The 34-year-old pop sensation uploaded a nearly four-minute-long YouTube video that featured behind-the-scenes shots from her time on set with collaborator Post Malone.

Beginning the recording, the 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker appeared inside a mental facility with stern white walls, hurling a metal cart at a two-way mirror.

In the video, Swift was portraying a "deranged" poet at the Tortured Poets Department. After hearing "Action," she took up a table and threw it against the wall with force—which appeared to be much more fluid in the edited version of the film.

Instead of breaking the glass as it does in the final edit, the cart bounces back at her in contrast to the official video. However, it was evident from the behind-the-scenes glimpse that Swift hadn't anticipated it to collide with the wall so forcefully.

Upon the cart collapsing to the ground and just missing her face, Swift could be seen laughing heartily right away.

Social media account The Swift Society posted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, "Taylor Swift scaring herself after throwing a table"



 

One of the crew members—who was standing behind the two-way mirror—could be seen quivering on camera during the unexpected situation, per Parade.

Realizing her own strength, Swift's immediate response to the chaotic situation made fans crack up.

Fans gushed over Taylor Swift's table throwing chaotic moment

Social media account Taylor Nation posted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, "She really said, "WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME!? I should be." #FortnightBTS," referencing a track from the album 'The Tortured Poets Department.'

Another fan wrote, "The man also got scared," while one added, "The mans face"

"Close enough welcome back fearless era taylor," another quipped.

One said, "The guy was scared," and another wrote, "The guys behind the glass"

Another wondered, "Was that man supposed to catch it?"

"no that’s terrifying! Big a** side table flying back at you lol," chuckled another.



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 

Taylor Swift shares behind-the-scenes shots from 'Fortnight' music video

Swift—who wrote, directed, and starred in the 'Fortnight' music video—gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at her creative process.

The billionaire clarified about the chaotic table-throwing moment that she believed the video was being filmed in The Tortured Poets Department, a "government municipal building where they study the behaviors and minds of poets."

She said, "One of the stereotypical things about poets over the years is that the people said they were crazy," and then she showed a monitor of herself giving the camera an "unsettling" look, per Daily Mail.

Afterward, she talked about her experience working with Post Malone and showed him how to operate a typewriter.

She told him that for his scene, all he had to do was type and that when he said "look," they both had to "look at each other."

She went on to say that she was motivated to leave a clue for Swifties on a book that had her handwritten word 'Us' on it. She might have been teasing 'Us,' her joint single with Gracie Abrams that was released on June 21.

In the closing seconds of the video, Swift could be seen sprinting into Malone's arms before both of them re-enter the frame.
