Two-time Grammy winner Tori Kelly debuted her Cut music video and gave fans a health update on Wednesday – nine days after her ‘scary’ hospitalization for blood clots.
The 30-year-old SoCal native’s video, directed by Courtney Phillips, begins with her handling the camera lens in a parking lot with pals.
Tori then spins the camera around on a lazy Susan while inside a restaurant as she sings the earworm refrain: ‘It go like, “Da dum, da dum, da” / Go like, “Da dum, da dum, da” / You can get that yesterday / You can get that soon as yesterday.’
Kelly also shot a sequence in a drug store for the track, which appears on her self-titled fourth EP, Tori, that dropped on July 28.
Courtney used special effects to stutter the back-up dancers movements through the shop.

Phillips then ‘stopped time’ inside a packed nightclub by using special effects previously seen in the X-Men films with Quicksilver (Evan Peters) and the Matrix movies.
Among the clubgoers was plus-size IMG Model Ashley Graham, who made a quick cameo in the video as a favor to her famous ‘friend’ because the track was ‘fire.’
The 35-year-old mother-of-three flaunted maximum cleavage in a black bustier and white baggy pants for her ‘video vixen’ moment.
Right before Cut premiered, Tori – who spent July 23-31 being treated for ‘blood clots in her legs and lungs’ at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA – took to her Twitch account to reassure her worried fans.
‘I’m feeling so much better. You guys have helped me feel a lot better to be honest,’ Kelly – who boasts 11.3M social media followers – said.
‘Even now just, you know, running tests and figuring everything out but, overall, I do feel better and I’m feeling good and I’m, like, back. I’m home, so that’s obviously a good thing and seeing all of you guys’ comments and love and support just, like, really meant a lot.’
The Missin’ U songstress added: ‘Obviously, I had my EP, like, ready to go. And so I decided I was like, “You know what? I still want to put this out. This music represents such a happy time in my life and y’all been waiting, I’ve been waiting to put this out, like, I don’t want to wait any longer.”‘
Tori also informed her fans that she’s ‘working on rescheduling’ her July 28 concert at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, which was postponed.
