The already immense echo that produces everything Taylor Swift does seems to never stop, and what is happening with the release of the new album Red is proof of this. Be careful, saying new is not completely correct because Red is none other than Swift’s most famous album, re-released in “Taylor’s Version” after a long legal battle against her old record company.
Taylor Swift has said she has finally re-appropriated Red and has decided to give it a new life with new re-editions and videos that will blow existing fans of the album in awe. One of her big news is her collaboration with her best friend Blake Lively, who directed her in the video of I Bet You Think About Me, released on November 15, 2021.
The friendship between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift is one of the most genuine and appreciated of the Hollywood jet set, and this time the professional careers of the two have intertwined. Blake Lively had spoiled the news to fans who saw her in her Instagram stories on the set of the video that sees Taylor in unpublished wedding dresses. It is the first directing job for the protagonist of Gossip Girl Blake Lively, and the narrative seems to be intertwined with the private affairs of her friend Swift.
Considered a top track among those included in Red Taylor’s Version, I Bet You Think About Me seems to tell stories of Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal and how the cultural and social differences between the two have influenced their breakup. Whether it’s for the creative direction of the beloved Blake or the gossip around the equally (sorry Taylor) beloved ex-boyfriend Jake, the video, which should be defined as a short movie (6 minutes!) In less than 24 hours has reached more than 8 million views. Could this be the start of a great directorial career for Blake Lively? As well as a great redemption for Taylor Swift it is obvious!
Here’s it!
