Altadena Home Where Julia Michaels & Maren Morris Filmed ‘Scissors’ Video Lost in Los Angeles Wildfires
“I feel so deeply sad for the family that lent their home to us to create this video,” Michaels wrote in a comment on YouTube. “My heart breaks,” Morris said.

The home seen in “Scissors,” a new song and music video from Julia Michaels and Maren Morris, burned down in the wildfires that have devastated Los Angeles.
The pair made the video in Altadena, Michaels mentioned in an Instagram post on Friday (Jan. 10), the release day for her latest single with Morris. On YouTube, she shared a message that they’d learned the home’s owners, a couple with two young children, had since lost their house. (One of the L.A. region’s wildfires, the Eaton Fire, started in Altadena on Jan. 7; high winds turned it into a firestorm that destroyed “as many as 5,000 structures” in this area of L.A. County, the New York Times reported.)
“The house we shot the Scissors video in has been wiped out due to the wildfires in LA,” Michaels wrote in a comment on YouTube, pinned for viewers to see. “I feel so deeply sad for the family that lent their home to us to create this video. I just have no words for the devastation that has transpired in such a short span of time. If you are able to give anything to help this family rebuild donate here.”
She shared the link to a GoFundMe started by a friend of the family facing the loss of their home. As of Saturday (Jan. 11), the fund’s donation goal is close to being met.
In an Instagram Story, Morris wrote, “the house we just shot Scissors in sadly was lost in the fires. it was a cute family’s home… I got ready in their kid’s bathroom. now it’s this. between floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, ugh. my heart breaks for every child who doesn’t get to go home, the animals displaced. my heart breaks for mother earth.”

In her Instagram post about “Scissors” on Friday, Michaels had said, “I hope you like this video as much as we enjoyed making it and that it captures a little of the magic and beauty that is Altadena foothills,” after praising Morris and the team behind the shoot: “So proud of this video and getting to create this song with some truly incredible people. @marenmorris, I am so in awe of you, your voice, your talent, the woman you are. What an honor it is that I get to sing with you AGAIN.”
The music video for “Scissors” is a cheeky one that matches the lighthearted tone of the pop tune, with the ladies singing about cutting a lover off, and out, of their life. Michaels and Morris coyly play on the lyrics with visual references of actual scissors (and scissorhands) coming for a man in bed … and end the clip with the sound of a quick snip.
“Scissors” is the first single of 2025 from both artists, and it follows their 2024 collab, “Cut!” Morris teased their new song ahead of its release in a red carpet interview with Billboard at the Golden Globes last weekend, saying, “Y’all are not ready. It’s so, so good. The video is so funny.”
