People be taking advantage of free press – but I guess that’s what the MTV VMA’s are there for. Although Taylor has a massive Instagram following and is watched by every music reporter, the pop starlet went on to release her latest vid for her 5th single off 1989 titled ‘Wildest Dreams’ last night during the MTV VMA’s pre-show.

In the vid, Taylor stars as an actress from around the 1950s, playing the role of a white colonist in the African safari, falling head over heels for none other than the offspring of Clint Eastwood, Scott. Yum.

It’s cool – you get to see great shots of the African wildlife, Taylor pulls of some sexy poses in front of a lion, her and Scott make out in front of some giraffes and in the end her heart is broken by yet another whirlwind romance. Nothing new. Except I really never again thought I’d see a video of white colonialists and still linking the word ‘wildest’ with Africa. Sigh.
