Because we know that music videos aren't real, they can do basically anything they want. Unlike films, who have to follow some sort of structure so the audience isn't confused, music videos have don't have to have a specific structure. Films are made to show a story. This means that if something is wrong in a movie, it's noticed. A YouTuber called CinemaSins finds things wrong with films, such as continuity errors or storyline errors.
The video below shows everything wrong with Shrek 2 in 18 minutes, bearing in mind the film was only 93 minutes. This means that films have to be made very carefully.
However, music videos don't have to make sense. They don't need to have a narrative so they can literally do whatever they want. When creating a music video, you don't need to worry about continuity or whether it could actually happen. Even if you make a narrative music video, you don't have to make sure that continuity is always the same. Someone can go from London to LA within a shot with no explanation.
