Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have been total #friendshipgoals for many, many years — and now they’ve just shown us once again just how awesome their friendship is!
On Sunday, Taylor announced that Blake will be making her directorial debut in Taylor’s new music video for “I Bet You Think About Me.” She took to social media to make the exciting announcement, saying:
“SURPRISE! NEW MUSIC VIDEO TOMORROW at 10am ET.
I finally got to work with the brilliant, brave, and wickedly funny @blakelively on her directorial debut. Join us as we raise a toast, and a little hell.”
Just a few hours prior to posting the news, Taylor and Blake were spotted hanging out at the Saturday Night Live after party, where Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds joined Taylor after she performed on SNL.
Blake and Ryan’s three kids have also been featured on Taylor’s music. Back in August, Ryan opened up about Taylor featuring their names on her folklore album. He said:
“The names are the names of our kids. We trust her implicitly. She’s very sensitive to any of that stuff. And obviously the song has nothing to do with out kids other than our kids’ names. But I mean, what an honor. We thought it was pretty damn amazing. We still do.”
Blake’s directorial debut premiered on Monday. “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version)” stars Taylor and actor Miles Teller, along with his real-life wife Kaleigh.
In the music video, Miles’ character is about to get married but seems to be haunted by the memory of Taylor’s character, clad in all red.
Taylor has stated about the meaning of this song:
“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 heartbreak songs on Red – some of them are very sincere, some of them very stoic and heartbreaking and sad – we wanted this to be the moment where you’re like, ‘I don’t care about anything.’”
Blake also received a writing credit on the video,
Congratulations, Blake and Taylor!
