Music videos How is narrative used in the music video and what impact does this have on the audience? Can you apply any narrative theories to the story in the music video? Sabrina Carpenter - Taste Narrative is used in this music video as it follows the plot of the horror movie "Death becomes her" which is an endless battle over a man after a potion that promises eternal life. In this video both girls are attempting to kill each other to win the attention of the love interest.
