The video spans only 9 minutes yet depicts Lady Gaga getting thrown in jail, released, and committing a mass murder at a diner. It blurs reality and time through quick scene changes and a news report. The video pays homage to Tarantino films through the vehicle used and Beyoncé's character name. It exhibits bricolage through the combination of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's different music styles and the mixing of styles shown through Beyoncé's changing outfits. The video also features multiple brand references.
