**Ethan Hawke** and **Josh Charles** are full of praise for **Taylor Swift** after working with her on "Fortnight", her latest music video.

The actors who starred together in the classic film *Dead Poets Society,* play scientists in the video, the first single from Taylor's 11th studio album, *The Tortured Poets Department.* 

Taking to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C59mvWTJ5r1/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io), Josh writes, "I've admired Taylor for a long time, but meeting her in person took my fandom to a whole new level. Genuine, kind, approachable, and just an all around stellar human being - Not to mention a kick ass director to boot!"

Ethan also shared a message on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C59pWXtOBIn/?img%5Findex=1&ref=celebritykind.ghost.io): "Todd and Knox from DEAD POETS SOCIETY are now PhDs in THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. It's quite an honour."

He added, "Thank you @TaylorSwift for the opportunity to be in the music video for your song FORTNIGHT feat. @PostMalone. Carpe diem!"

The official "Fortnight" video was posted to YouTube on April 19 and features Ethan and Josh in white coats, working on a trapped Taylor in a lab.

"For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it," Taylor explained of her clip. "I'm still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, @EthanHawke and @MrJoshCharles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets)."

"Fortnight" is one of 16 songs from [*The Tortured Poets Department*](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/listen-now-taylor-swifts-the-tortured-poets-department-is-here-3.html)*,* which, much to the joy of Swifties everywhere, turned out being a double album featuring *The Anthology* with an extra 15 songs!
