Taylor Swift has drawn public praise from the estate of Elizabeth Taylor<\/p>\n

Following the release of a music video described as an \u201cextraordinary\u201d homage to the late Hollywood star, the singer was hailed thanks to the promo accompanying Taylor\u2019s track Elizabeth Taylor<\/a>, which was part of her The Life of a Showgirl project.<\/p>\n

Released during International Women\u2019s Month, it is constructed entirely from archival footage of Elizabeth, who died aged 79, featuring clips from films including A Place in the Sun, Cleopatra, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Who\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Father of the Bride. <\/p>\n

Elizabeth was known for her Oscar-winning performances in BUtterfield 8 and Who\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, as well as her public life and personal relationships, including her marriage to Richard Burton<\/a>, who died aged 58. <\/p>\n

The video also includes visual references to her jewellery, notably the 33-carat Krupp Diamond ring.<\/p>\n

\nSwift previously discussed seeking approval from Elizabeth\u2019s estate during an appearance on BBC Radio 2 following the album\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\nA representative for Elizabeth\u2019s estate has now told TMZ: \u201cWhat makes this piece so remarkable is its pure devotion to Elizabeth\u2019s legacy: composed entirely of archival film clips, from her iconic screen performances to candid moments, it is a celebration of Elizabeth from beginning to end, and an homage in the truest sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe representative added: \u201c(The estate is) delighted by this celebration\u201d and the \u201ccare with which Taylor Swift has spotlighted what so many have long understood: Elizabeth Taylor was a true icon, a trailblazer in every sense of the word.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThey also said: \u201c(Elizabeth) lived unapologetically and on her own terms, embracing her public life with grace and courage while fiercely protecting the private world she cherished with family and friends.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThat balance, that duality, was one of her most remarkable qualities.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIf there is anyone navigating the extraordinary pressures of global fame with comparable authenticity and strength, it is Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe estate is honored that she chose to pay tribute in this way, and have no doubt that Elizabeth would have loved every frame of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking previously on BBC Radio 2, Taylor Swift said: \u201cPeople like Elizabeth Taylor, we go to her estate and let them know. And they were lovely about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
