Ayo Edebiri directs Clairo's new music video starring ‘Weird Al' Yankovic

Fans should have expected the unexpected, as another celebrity makes a surprise appearance in the video, which premiered Thursday afternoon. The music video opens with a camera panning past silhouettes in front of a window before stopping on a front door which opens to reveal comedian, musician, and actor 'Weird Al' Yankovich. The opening credits for the video note that Yankovich stars in the video 'as Clairo.' Advertisement What unfolds is a strange and beautifully lit spectacle. As 'Clairo' emerges onto the lamp-lit facade, clad in a tuxedo, he begins lip-syncing the soft-sung words to 'Terrapin.' Clairo eventually comes onto the screen herself, but only sways dreamily to the music and stares at Yankovich as his mouthing continues.
