I don’t know what the status is right now because I’ve been on my movie, but we have talked about it and I don’t know if I’ll end up doing it or someone else [will], but I think she’s great.” Swift and Prieto have worked together on the music videos for “The Man”, “Willow” and “Cardigan”. “Obviously she’s quite an artist, but she’s also an excellent director.
I must say the stuff I’ve done with her, the music videos, she’s been extraordinary,” Prieto said. “Someone who didn’t grow up as a director – she’s a musician and a singer and wonderful at that – to see that she understands cinema and understands storytelling, she understands how to tell the story with a camera and she’s great with the technical aspects as well,” he continued. “She’s another person I admire very much, so if I had the opportunity to work with her, I’d be thrilled.” READ MORE: Kevin Costner Is ‘Officially A Swiftie’ After Taking Daughter To Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Along with shooting “Barbie” and Swift’s videos, Prieto has worked with man top-tier directors, including Martin Scorsese, with whom he most recently filmed the upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon”, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu, Ang Lee and Pedro Almodovar.
