Taylor Swift tweeted on Sunday that a new music video, "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version) From the Vault," would be released on Monday. The surprising thing is that the new music video is being directed by none other than Gossip Girl alum and Taylor Swift’s close friend Blake Lively.
The video is going to dramatize one of Taylor Swift’s songs that never made it to her 2012 album, "Red." The video is also going to mark Blake Lively’s debut as a director, and both powerful women are excited about the opportunity.
The singer took to her social media to tease her fans with some new music, especially the one that never made it to the original album. She wrote, "I finally got to work with the brilliant, brave, and wickedly funny @blakelively on her directorial debut," she wrote. Join us as we raise a toast and a little hell. In the teaser, the audience gets to see a wedding cake with nail marks sliced through the frosting.
In the video shared by Taylor Swift on her social media, after a beat, a hand reaches into the frame and digs into the wedding cake with nail marks, which invokes the feeling of her hit number, "Blank Space." The teaser ends with a text that reads, "Written by Blake Lively and Taylor Swift," and later on the screen, "Directed by Blake Lively."
The Gossip Girl alum also shared the clip on her social media with a caption, "shhh," and a couple of emojis. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have been friends for a long time, and the Internet loves their friendship a lot. Recently, Taylor Swift appeared as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live where she sang her newly released song "All Too Well" (10 minutes extended version), where a lot of celebrity friends of the singer appeared to support her, including Joe Jonas, with wife Sophie Turner, and Selena Gomez.
People were extremely happy to see Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez reunited. In one of her interviews, Selena Gomez shared that being each other’s friend was the best thing the two of them got out of their relationship. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez became friends when Taylor was dating Joe Jonas and Selena Gomez was dating Nick Jonas.
Taylor Swift wasted no time to gush over their friendship and said, 'When your life changes, and you become thrust into this really strange whirlwind where what your life is different from what other people think your life is... Both of us have kind of stuck it out and hung in there through all the different changes we've gone through".
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively appeared at the after party of Saturday Night Live at L’Avenue and looked stunning as Ryan Reynolds wore gray pants and a white button-up shirt with a tie, while Blake Lively wore a body-hugging dress with a tall collar which had a cut-out across her chest and she paired the dress with bright blue heels.
Taylor Swift recently dropped the "All Too Well" short film that stars Teen Wolf star Dylan O’Brien and Sadie Sink and has managed to make space in the minds of people in no time. The actors are appreciated for their acting and playing younger versions of Taylor Swift and her then-boyfriend (assumed to be Jake Gyllenhaal).
Cara Delevingne and Anya Taylor-Joy were also the ones who attended the after-party of Saturday Night Live at L’Avenue. Taylor Swift released Red (Taylor's Version) on Friday, November 12th, her second re-recorded album. Ed Sheeran and Phoebe Bridgers are among the collaborators on the album, which includes 30 tunes and nine previously unheard songs. Taylor had gushed about her friendship with Sheeran in a recent interview: 'It's one of those friendships where the friendship doesn't move even when life moves. He's a wonderful friend. He's always there when I need to talk.'
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn was not present in-person to support his girlfriend, but that is because the actor is currently shooting ‘The Stars at Noon’, in Panama. The production of the movie began in October and Joe Alwyn who replaced Taron Egerton could not travel to be there for Taylor Swift due to COVID-19 international travel restrictions.
The couple started dating in 2016 and have kept a low profile ever since, but they are pretty serious about each other, according to sources. The outlet said, "They grew closer than ever during the quarantine, and she trusts him. They've been continuing to be pretty low-key about their relationship with the outside world to continue to protect it. They've discussed plans, and Taylor can see herself marrying Joe one day".
