A$AP Rocky has delivered the previously leaked “Tailor Swif” video after expressing concern about giving the track and visual an official release. The song and accompanying Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia-directed video arrived on Friday (Aug. 30) as a gift to the Mob frontman’s faithful fans, but don’t expect it to land on his upcoming Don’t Be Dumb album later this year.
Rocky unleashed another memorable visual that will be part of his decorated videography. Each scene from the jarring clip shot in Kyiv, Ukraine, back in December 2021 is as bizarre as the next. Whether it’s the inclusion of a bunny rabbit bathing with a glass of wine in a public bathroom sink to Rocky dodging a car, a dog in a jacket and tie talking on a cellphone in a diner, or a man’s hair serving as a bird’s nest (complete with hatching eggs), the Harlem native’s dedication to his craft doesn’t disappoint.

Swifties’ eyeballs were collectively drawn to the track’s title, which is seemingly inspired by the pop titan of the same name. Rocky even gives Taylor Swift a shout-out on the tune’s chorus. “I’m too swift, don’t tell Taylor ’bout this s–t (Swift, yeah)/ I’m too swift, now don’t tell Taylor ’bout this s–t,” he raps.
However, it doesn’t appear all of the Swifties are thrilled with Rocky throwing T-Swift’s name into the mix. “If i had a dollar for every man that used taylor’s name for clout id be as rich as her,” one tweeted.
But Rocky’s fans flocked to Flacko’s defense. “Love taylor swift, but asap rocky does not need her to stay relevant,” one person replied on X.
A$AP was initially hesitant to release the track, which he performed at Rolling Loud Portugal in 2022 before it leaked days later, but decided to go ahead with it earlier this week. “SINCE U DUMMIES LEAKED IT ALREADY,” he tweeted.
Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb album was slated to land on Aug. 30, but he revealed to Billboard that it’s been pushed to the fall.
“Tailor Swif” follows Rocky’s August single “Highjack,” which debuted at No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100. Watch the video for “Tailor Swif” below.
