Dr. Ramani Durvasula, an American clinical psychologist, author, and retired professor of psychology, has shared her thoughts on Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" video featuring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell.

Commenting on the song and the video, she said "Patient Zero" was a master class in what happens in a narcissistic relationship.

Talking about the car scene, she said, "How did she know that this is what happens in every single one of these relationships? That moment of utter isolation, in a car, where you're already at some level of risk."

Dr. Ramani's clip was shared on Instagram with the caption, "Dr. Ramani on why Taylor Swift's 'Patient Zero' made her blood run cold and the scene that captured a tactic so many people in narcissistic relationships know All Too Well."

Notably, Jennifer Aniston was prominent among thousands of people who seemed to agree with her by liking the clip.

Earlier this week, Taylor Swift unveiled the music video for her new song "Patient Zero," one of the tracks that is part of her extended album The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore.

The video premiered at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday after Swift accepted the inaugural Artist Director Honor.
