The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards inspired three pop superstars to release their latest videos. Funny enough, only one of them premiered on MTV. That would be Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" video, which aired during the VMAs pre-show. The clip features Taylor and actor Scott Eastwood, as in Clint's son, playing a movie couple who take their relationship off screen, though for Scott to show up with another woman at the film premiere. Director Joseph Kahn ("Blank Space," "Bad Blood") shot parts of the video in Africa, though mostly to have wild animals—lions, zebras, giraffes—add visual interest.

After the VMAs, though, came Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean" video, directed by Brad Furman. Model Xenia Deli plays the girl who Justin sings of ("Wanna argue all day, wanna make love all night"), though the plot thickens when two masked intruders storm her and Justin's hotel room. Nick Jonas also debuted his Colin Tilley-helmed "Levels" video, which doesn't even bother with some semblance of plot. Instead, Nick tries his hardest to appear as a total superstar, as he and a gaggle of female dancers appear seductive inside this industrial warehouse-turned-stage, complete with a pile of tires.

MTV may not air as many music videos as it used to, but last night it had these superstars dropping videos that somewhat recalled the network's glory days. Watch all three clips below.
