Post Malone walked into the studio thinking he was just adding his voice to a track. He had no idea he was stepping into a fully built world. Taylor Swift did not just bring a song; she brought an entire universe called The Tortured Poets Department. He was just happy to be there, having admired her music for a long time. This was the moment he talked about in his Apple Music chat.
You can hear the real surprise in his voice. He talks about how sweet and kind Taylor is, but it is her talent that seems to leave him breathless. He says she just played him the song and asked what he thought. He calls her incredible, a great artist, and a great person.
Post Malone on Working with Taylor Swift for ‘The Tortured Poets Department’
This honesty is exactly why people loved hearing him talk about it. It was not just corporate music talk. It was real. And that same real feeling went right into the song. The track, “Fortnight,” did not just do well. It crashed straight to number one on music charts all around the world.
Hearing Post Malone talk about the song is one thing. Seeing it come to life is another chapter completely. The 1980s synth sound he heard in the studio became the soundtrack for a powerful story. The honor he felt in the room transformed into a haunting music video that showed the song’s deep, sad heart.

The “Fortnight” is not a simple love story. It is shot in black and white and feels like an old, beautiful, broken movie. We see Taylor chained to a bed and later getting shock therapy. Post Malone is there, working at a typewriter, as they both seem trapped in this sad, intense memory. It is artistic, strange, and perfectly matches the song’s confession.
This song was a perfect moment for Post Malone. He stepped into Taylor’s world and added a deep, honest feeling that was all his own. It is a shout out to his amazing ability to cross genres and still feel real. Follow Post Malone on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. He proves that a true artist can make any song their own.
