As for the "National Anthem" 7 and a half minutes video, the singer is seen imitating both Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy who were both linked to the former U.S. President in two different ways.
The Anthony Mandler-directed clip opens it with a reenactment scene of Monroe singing the sultry "Happy Birthday" to JFK in 1962. Then she switches to the president's doting wife Jackie who stood by the commander in chief until his assassination. Lot of scenes recoun how JFK and Jackie's marriage went through both happy and rocky stages. Watch her video in here.
