Taylor Swift is going back to December with her “I Can See You” music video, in which she is taking back control of her illustrious music career.“I wrote this video treatment over a year ago and really wanted to play out symbolically how it’s felt for me to have the fans helping me reclaim my music,” the Grammy winner, 33, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 7, after premiering the video at her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City. “Joey [King] and Presley [Cash] had been in the video for ‘Mean’ when they were 9 and 13 and they are back and so ridiculously bad ass!! [Taylor Lautner] is INCREDIBLE in this (didn’t have a stunt double!) and shout out to [his wife, Taylor Dome] for being so awesome to hang with on set.”“I Can See You” is one of Swift’s Speak Now vault tracks, which she released on her rerecorded album hours earlier on Friday.

I don’t know if you noticed the date, It’s July 8th but very late in the night … and tomorrow is July 9th,” she quipped during the Saturday, July 8, concert, per social media footage.In
