Clearly they wanted Slut! initially, but that didn't quite work out huh  hopefully we'll get a music video for this, but considering the Latin America leg of the Eras Tour is starting that seems unlikely, unless she rush-films it over Christmas but it'd be a bit too late by then.

It'd be so criminal if we just pass through this era without a music video though. For an era so massive, the 1989 TV rollout has been shockingly lowkey. The only thing we've gotten so far is what.. a blue cardigan and a bunch of other 1989 themed merch? C'mon now.

I mean, this is the first TV that will outsell the SV's first week, and it's also the first to get an official radio single. She could be filming a video this very moment. She has a few weeks to get it wrapped.

We did get 2 videos for Red TV yeah (ATW10 + IBYTAM), with the re-recording she seemed to be going with a pattern of Minor Era -> Major Era -> Minor Era -> etc, likely to control her overexposure. We had Fearless TV (little to no push), then Red TV (big push) and Speak Now TV (also little to no push), so naturally 1989 TV was planned to be a major era and predictably so, it's her biggest album globally.

But so far the rollout has been equal to Speak Now TV's. It could possibly be because of Cruel Summer's unexpected smashery, which would explain why she and her team didn't push it for #1 at all despite it having a clear chance to go #1 for like.. months  (and by the time they pushed it with The Cruelest Summer EP, it was literally going #1 anyway)

I don't quite know about her filming it right now. I guess it's possible, but also as mentioned the tour is resuming in a bit over a week. That feels like an extremely narrow window to plan and film a shoot music video, especially when you consider all the tour preparations she must be doing. That feels impossible, even for her. 

Her last Latin America date is November 26. She could film a music video then, but I guess it's gonna heavily depend on how the song is holding up. If it's out of the charts by then (or on it's way out and barely hanging on), a music video is probably gonna be mostly pointless (although it'll certainly still help to boost the album).

I really do hope we get something more out of this era though. 1989 TV is waaaay too big and significant for us to just let it come and go.

I would like to imagine that they filmed something around the time they filmed some of the other TV videos? Cos she knew about her your schedule at that time I'm sure. So it'd be smart of her to pre-plan things. 

But also maybe they already filemd a video for slut and scrapped it cos IION ended up being bigger.

Yeah that is a thing. They may have had things lined up, but.. they were all around Slut!, and now that they've pivoted to IION, well.. they have nothing ready  (unless she filmed multiple videos at once for multiple songs including IION, but I'm pretty doubtful)

ICSY was shot over 2 days and we all know blondie can write. I’m sure she could whip up a video treatment in a few hours. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was spotted filming something this weekend.

It's a great single choice in my opinion. The Vault tracks are always the best on her TV versions

Oh I agree.  I'm just saying she could if she really wanted to. It's perfectly feasible.
