9. She Filmed a Video with Cecil the Lion
Remember Cecil the Lion, that beautiful creature with the luscious black mane who was killed by a hunter in 2015? His death caused an uproar that led to his species of lion being registered as endangered to prevent further damage to Zimbabwean lions like him. Right after his death, Taylor released the video for “Wildest Dreams” and it featured a lion that looked just like Cecil.
Coincidence? We think not. She even noted that proceeds from the video were to be donated to the African Parks Foundation of America. Since the lion was so close to her in the video, it’s much more likely that he was a product of CGI or at least a domestically trained animal. What a great way to build us up and bring us back down again!
