Music videos have the power to start a conversation about new music and make us see our favorite songs in a whole new light. They certainly did that throughout 2023, and we’re bringing you five music videos that created quite a commotion in the past twelve months.
SZA – “Kill Bill”
SZA kicked off 2023 on a high note—by dropping an epic music video for her revenge anthem “Kill Bill” that would even put Quentin Tarantino to shame.
Miley Cyrus – “Flowers”
Speaking of music videos that knocked us off our feet in early 2023, Miley Cyrus created quite a commotion when she dropped a visual for her self-love anthem “Flowers”, sparking countless fan theories and think pieces along the way.
Troye Sivan – “Rush”

Billie Eilish – “What Was I Made For?”
