The music video for "All Your Exes" dropped on April 2 and features glam, gore, and horror with a satirical twist. It's dark, but also humourous in a ridiculous way, which is exactly what Michaels was going for.
"I had had this idea for a dinner party essentially and I told Blythe Thomas (the video director) about it," said Michaels. "She was like, 'That's amazing. What if you were at the dinner table and all of the people at the table with you were dead?' and I was dying laughing — I thought it was so funny." Her inspiration: the 2004 comedy-horror film The Stepford Wives.
It's not all blood and gore (although there is a chainsaw involved); there's also plenty of glam. Michaels sports 1960s-inspired hair and makeup like pastel blue eyeshadow, graphic eyeliner, and a bouffant hairstyle.
"I love sixties glam, with a nineties aesthetic," said Michaels. She's been trying to push herself to be more creative and play with colour, hair, and makeup in a way that makes it special. "I don't wear it in my every day, but when I get to sort of play a character, it's always super fun."
