Swift wrote and directed the song's music video, which depicts her fears, insecurities, and eating disorder, using three different incarnations of her. The video also reenacts one of her nightmares about her legacy and last will, starring Mike Birbiglia, John Early, and Mary Elizabeth Ellis as Swift's fictional sons and daughter-in-law. "Anti-Hero" won many awards including a People's Choice Award, two iHeartRadio Music Awards, and six MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year, making Swift the first artist to win the award two years in a row. It is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance at the upcoming 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
"Anti-Hero" received universal acclaim from music critics. Exclaim! critic Megan LaPierre called it Swift's best lead-single choice "in ages".[34] Olivia Horn of Pitchfork said the song confronts Swift's flaws and fallibility, and described it as a blend of "the lacquered synth-pop of 1989, the neurotic image analysis of Reputation, the dense lyricism of Folklore and Evermore."[12] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone dubbed "Anti-Hero" an album standout, featuring a "Blank Space-level burn of both herself and her critics", and praised the "deliciously diabolical" bridge.[17] Music journalist Rob Sheffield said the song is "like Season Two of 'The Man' full of killer lines."[35]
The music video for "Anti-Hero", written and directed by Swift, premiered via her Vevo channel on YouTube at 08:00 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on October 21, eight hours after the song's and album's release.[56]
The casket in the funeral scene from the music video is a direct-to-consumer model purchased from a company called Titan Casket, based in Bellevue, Washington, and Andover, Massachusetts. It received online attention and experienced a "huge spike in sales", according to the company.[69][70][71]

One ghost dons a cowboy hat, perhaps representing her country-music era or personifying the character she plays in "Cowboy Like Me," the 11th track on "Evermore." He sits in front of wallpaper that's covered in daisies, a likely nod to "Don't Blame Me," the fourth track on "Reputation" ("I once was poison ivy, now I'm your daisy").
Another ghost wears the red heart-shaped sunglasses from the "22" music video while sipping an amber liquid. This could be a reference to "Gorgeous" ("Whiskey on ice, Sunset and Vine") or "Getaway Car" ("I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed"), both tracks from "Reputation."
In the "...Ready For It?" music video, the "real" Swift is trapped behind glass, while the "problem" persona who keeps her in captivity (a robot wearing a dark hooded disguise) is the one who roams freely in public.
Taylor Swift has quietly edited the music video for her new single "Anti-Hero" on Apple Music, removing a shot that some viewers found fatphobic. The change also inadvertently made it a stronger video.
Despite this change on Apple Music, the "Anti-Hero" video hasn't been updated across all platforms. Swift's music video still includes the "FAT" scales on YouTube, likely attributable to the fact that the platform doesn't allow such edits to videos that have already been uploaded.
YouTube creators can trim clips that have already gone live, but inserting those extra few seconds of Taylor judging Taylor would require the "Anti-Hero" music video be deleted then reuploaded in its entirety. This would completely erase its still-rising 34 million view count, which is a number both Swift and Republic Records would no doubt rather keep. Apple Music doesn't publicly display such statistics.
Taylor Swift is one of the most likable and recognisable artists in the world and extremely talented as a singer and songwriter so, of course, I was very aware of who she is; I have two daughters so her music is often being played in our house. But I never thought she would have any direct involvement in my life.
We thought we were settling into a nice quiet Friday, but woke up to one of our employees, who is a big "Swiftie", claiming one of our caskets was prominently featured in the music video for the song Anti-Hero.
In this business, whenever you see a casket on screen, you ask where it's from. So she sent it to my wife, who remembered we had sold a casket to a production company for a music video back in July, but for all we knew it was a local band or used in the background for something.

"It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero," but if Taylor Swift wants to consider herself one, Swifties will never get tired of it. Following the release of her two alternative-focused albums, "folklore" and "evermore," as well as re-recorded versions of "Fearless" and "Red," the singer-songwriter bestows another record onto her fans for them to listen to during "graveyard shifts" with the release of her tenth studio album, the pop-heavy "Midnights." As an artist who prefers to take full ownership of her craft, Swift yet again wrote and directed her own music video, this time for the "Midnights" album's third track, "Anti-Hero," featuring American actress Mary Elizabeth Ellis (Santa Clarita Diet) as her daughter-in-law, who, in her dreams, kills her for the money.
Approximately halfway through the video, the singer-songwriter turned director sings about a pretty specific nightmare she had about her future daughter-in-law, who kills her for money. But Swift doesn't leave anything for her in her final will. Depicting how it all played out in her dreams, the music video stars, Mike Birbiglia, John Early, and Ellis, portrayed her grown-up future family, providing just the right amount of comedy over the deeply personal and emotional track. Her children, in her "dreams," who believe that their mom might have left a secret encoded message for them, were surprised by a postscript of her will that reads: "P.S. There is no secret-encoded message that means something else." The part in the music video could be a nod to the singer's tradition of leaving secret encoded messages for her fans to ponder.

Many were calling the scene fatphobic, taking issue with being fat being portrayed negatively. This was disappointing and angering to many people, especially fans of Swift who had found solace in her music. However, some argue that the scene was more complex than fatphobia.
Taylor Swift has not kept her struggle with her eating disorder a secret. In the 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana, Swift revealed her struggle and how she has worked to move past that time in her life. Anti-Hero was a clear attempt at portraying that struggle with her music.
