💡 Analysis: In the Reputation era, she walks down the hallway in Ready For It towards her other self, the one that is trapped.
In all three Lover MVs she has a hallway that she walks down towards leaving the building (after having the fight with Urie on her way to dance in the sun on the street (ME!), shots of her with her lover in the hallway as well as walking towards the camera aka front door (Lover), after sleeping with a woman and walking through a hallway of high fives - opposite of “walk of shame” before going out (The Man).
