Taylor Swift Drops Music Video Directed by Blake Lively
Variety.com: Less than 24 hours after teasing their collaboration, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have dropped the highly anticipated music video for “I Bet You Think About Me.”
The visual, from Swift’s “Red (Taylor’s Version)” re-recorded album, dramatizes one of the “From the Vault” tracks that didn’t make Swift’s original 2012 album. Miles Teller plays Swift’s ex, who has flashbacks to their failed relationship on his wedding day. At the ceremony, a mischievous Swift knocks over the groom figurine on top of the cake (and sneaks a taste of icing before tearing into the frilly dessert), chugs wine after giving a toast, and goofs off with younger guests. At one point, Teller’s character envisions Swift as the bride as she sings “Does it make you feel sad that the love that you’re looking for is the love that you had?”
The six-minute music video marks the first time that Lively, the actor most recognizable from “Gossip Girl” and “A Simple Favor,” has stepped behind the camera. Matthew Libatique, the Oscar-nominated cinematographer of “Black Swan” and “A Star Is Born,” served as director of photography on the music video, while country music star Chris Stapleton lent his voice to harmonies.
“The reddest video EVER is out now. Directed by @blakelively who SMASHED it just like I smashed this cake,” Swift wrote Monday morning on Twitter.
