You can tell the pop star started her career in acting because one thing about her is that she’s going to deliver absolute cinema when it comes to her music videos. And the Coachella headliner also seems to love a storyline, because her videos released in recent years are all subtly connected one way or another, starting with “Espresso,” which dropped in April 2024, to her just-released music video for “House Tour.”
In addition to the videos’ creative link, fans have also pointed out one other interesting pattern in most of her videos: at least one man always seems to die. The trend started with the 2023 music video for “Feather” and has been a recurrent theme ever since.
Below, The Hollywood Reporter is breaking down how all her music videos since the Short N’ Sweet era are all connected in one way or another.
