Phoebe Bridgers’ New “Savior Complex” Video Was Directed By Phoebe Waller-Bridge And Stars Paul Mescal
Phoebe Bridgers’ Punisher is a buzzy album that came out this year, Normal People is a buzzy TV show that came out this year, Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge seems to always be in a perpetual state of buzz. Why not combine all three into one mega-music video? Well, that’s what has happened.
Today, Bridgers has released a music video for “Savior Complex,” which was directed by Waller-Bridge and stars Normal People breakout Mescal. All three of them have been circling around each other in the pop culture cloud over the course of 2020 — there was a funny Reductress quiz called Is This Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Phoebe Bridgers, Or A Feeble Bridge a few months ago, and Bridgers and Mescal have been spotted around the UK and Ireland together a couple times this year.
Per a press release, this collaboration came about after Bridgers emailed Waller-Bridge during lockdown and found out they were mutual fans of each other. Watch below.
