At the Eras Tour show in Kansas City, Missouri on July 7, 2023, Swift premiered the music video for “I Can See You”, releasing it on YouTube on July 8. The video stars Joey King, Taylor Lautner, Presley Cash, and Swift.[41] Cash and King previously starred in Swift’s 2011 video for “Mean”, and Lautner and Swift briefly dated and starred in the 2010 film Valentine’s Day prior to the release of the original Speak Now album. The video depicts a heist, carried out by Cash, King and Lautner, to rescue Swift, who is imprisoned in a vault. The video is a metaphor for Swift’s fans helping reclaim her music following the 2019 public dispute over her masters. Swift directed the video, and Jonathan Sela served as director of photography.

At the show, Swift revealed that she had come up with the concept for the video over a year and a half before its eventual release. Filming occurred in April 2023 in Liverpool, England, at locations such as the Cunard Building, the Tobacco Warehouse and the National Westminster Bank. She stated that she wanted to create a visual story that depicted how her fans helped her reclaim her music.

The video received positive comments from journalists. Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine said, the “action-packed” music video saw Swift “take control” of her artistry.[46] Lauren Huff of Entertainment Weekly praised the action theme of the “jam-packed” video. The A.V. Club’s William Hughes called it a “barely-a-metaphor” video with outfits and memorabilia from Swift’s Speak Now era.
