On the final day of Women’s History Month, Taylor Swift dropped a surprise music video for the third single from her album The Life of a Showgirl. “What could you possibly get for the girl on the last day of Women’s History Month?” wrote her official fan account, Taylor Nation. “We have something in mind!”

The video for “Elizabeth Taylor” is currently only streaming on Spotify Premium and Apple Music. It features clips from Taylor’s life and movies; Swift herself does not make an appearance in the music video. Films featured in the music video include Cleopatra, Father of the Bride, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Place in the Sun, Giant, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and more.

“My family loves the song, and grandma would have loved it too—I wish she could have heard it,” Quinn Tivey, Taylor’s grandson and a trustee of her estate, who represents the Elizabeth Taylor brand and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, told Town & Country when the album dropped this past fall. “Taylor Swift not only made a beautiful homage to Elizabeth Taylor, but it feels like she is addressing her directly while invoking her legacy in a way that is dimensional, confessional, honest, and fun. It dances across the trappings of fame and the rollercoaster of falling in love and has so many heartfelt references, from the iconic perfume White Diamonds to her jewelry and, of course, her love of love.”

While promoting the album, Swift said that the song “is sort of my emotions and my issues with fame through the lens of cosplaying the life of Elizabeth Taylor, so you kind of meld the two experiences together. She is always someone that I’ve looked up to as being this very glamorous, very beloved, but for some reason a polarizing figure, which I found myself in that place, too.”
