Taylor Swift director defends 'colonial' Africa video

The video for Wildest Dreams had been accused of glamorising a "white colonial fantasy of Africa".
But director Joseph Kahn has said it "is not a video about colonialism but a love story on the set of a period film crew in Africa, 1950"

Swift has not commented on the controversy around the video.
In a statement Kahn denied that the video only includes white people.
"The reality is not only were there people of colour in the video, but the key creatives who worked on this video are people of colour."
He points out he is Asian American, while the producer Jill Hardin and editor Chancler Haynes are African Americans.
"We collectively decided it would have been historically inaccurate to load the crew with more black actors as the video would have been accused of rewriting history.
"This video is set in the past by a crew set in the present and we are all proud of our work."
