Taylor Swift just dropped the video for ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ (Taylor’s Version)
directed by her BFF Blake Lively, and we’re so glad she released this song from the vault
because the video is absolutely EVERYTHING!
Let’s get into it!
Just when we thought Taylor couldn’t top the excitement she brought into our lives
on Red Day, she’s gone and done it again…
The ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ (Taylor’s Version) clip stars Miles Teller as a groom
and his real life wife, Keleigh Teller as the bride.
The music video starts with the groom reading a speech in a mirror, as he preps for his
wedding...
However, as the video unfolds it looks like he just can’t seem to get Taylor out of
his head.
Everyone in the clip is wearing white, except for a mischievous Taylor who walks around
the wedding wearing red, continuing to catch Miles’ eye…
And let’s be real, that look is EVERYTHING!
At one point, Tay hilariously tastes a huge wedding cake, while wearing a beautiful Red
gown, reminding us that she always understands the assignment.
At first Taylor dips her fingers in the icing before fully clawing out a huge chunk as she
devours the cake!
And at another point Taylor gets up to give a speech, seemingly cracking jokes about Miles,
before handing over a red ribboned box to the bride, who happens to be Miles’ wife
in real life!
And the box Taylor gifted her contained the infamous red scarf.
Ahh this masterpiece is too much for our little Swifitie hearts!
Throughout the video, Taylor takes on a whimsical character, playing with kids (teaching them
a FUN game to put it mildly), drinking a little too much champagne, and even performing magic
tricks…
Seriously, what can’t our Tay do??
And the entire time Mile’s character keeps his gaze on a playful Taylor, seeming to wonder,
as the lyrics say, “why did you let her go?”
At one point the music stops and our hearts basically skip a beat as Taylor appears in
a STUNNING white wedding gown, as her and Miles dance in silence… which seriously
gave us major GOOSE BUMPS!
But then Tay walks away, and that white dress turns RED as she picks up a guitar and performs
the bridge of the song!
And honestly, this moment is one of my favorites of the entire music video - it’s pure visual
perfection and GENIUS!
At this point, the entire wedding slowly turns red, with Tay even throwing up her red gloved
middle finger to their past relationship.
Yasss Tay, we stan!
After watching the video, it’s safe to say that Taylor kept her word from the teaser
she shared on Instagram a couple of days ago, saying,
“I finally got to work with the brilliant, brave, & wickedly funny @blakelively on her
directorial debut.
Join us as we raise a toast, and a little hell.”
As we continue to say over and over again, Tay really understood the assignment.
The previously unreleased song which now features Chris Stapleton, was written back in 2011.
Taylor recently said of the song in an interview with Country 102.5, “We wanted this song
to be, like, a comedic, tongue-in-cheek, funny, not caring what anyone thinks about you, sort
of breakup song.
Because there are a lot of different types of breakup songs on Red,”
She went on to share “Some of them are very sincere, some of them are very stoic and heartbreaking
and sad.
We wanted this to be, like, the moment where you’re like, ‘I don’t care about anything!’”
And judging by her cheeky behavior in the music video, she captured that energy perfectly!
The epic memes of course rolled in as soon as the clip premiered.
This Twitter user shared this photo of Jake Gyllenhaal, writing, “uh, i’ve done nothing
to prepare for this situation.”
Dead.
While this fan shared this meme that read, “Jake Gyllenhall knowing Twitter is coming
for his head after hearing ‘I Bet You Think About Me.”
Now, give us a sec as we hunt down those easter eggs… don’t worry, we got you, and we’ll
be back to break those down in full detail soon!
