Taylor Swift and Blake Lively stir up nostalgia with I Bet You Think About Me

Throwing it back to a collaboration that stirred both the music and film industries, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively teamed up for a memorable music video that still resonates with fans today. In November 2021, Swift unveiled the video for I Bet You Think About Me, a track from her album Red (Taylor's Version), directed by none other than the multi-talented Blake Lively. This partnership not only showcased Lively's directorial chops but also highlighted the deep-rooted friendship between the two stars.

Blake Lively's transition from in front of the camera to behind it was nothing short of spectacular. "I finally got to work with the brilliant, brave & wickedly funny @blakelively on her directorial debut," Swift shared, expressing her excitement and the seamless synergy in their creative process. The video features actor Miles Teller and his real-life wife, Keleigh Sperry, with Swift playing a haunting presence at Teller's character's wedding. This narrative, combined with Lively's vision, created a visual masterpiece that was both engaging and emotionally resonant.

The collaboration between Swift and Lively was a testament to their friendship and mutual respect. Swift's music has often drawn from personal experiences and relationships, with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, frequently appearing in her work. From voiceovers by their daughter James in Gorgeous to naming Lively and Reynolds' daughters in Betty, Swift has intertwined their lives with her music in a way that feels both intimate and honoring. "It's an honor," Reynolds remarked, reflecting on the unique blend of personal and professional worlds.
