Taylor Swift Films 'Patient Zero' Video in $47 Million Beverly Hills Brutalist Mansion
Taylor Swift's music video for 'Patient Zero,' released at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, was filmed in a distinctive 18,300 sq ft Brutalist mansion in Beverly Hills. Designed by the ID Group and built in 2014, the $47 million estate features curved concrete exteriors, retractable glass walls, and an infinity pool overlooking Los Angeles. The video portrays a dark, toxic romance with actors Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, complementing the mansion's imposing, Bond villain–style aesthetic.
