Taylor Swift's ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ Music Video Easter Eggs, Broken Down

Taylor Swift's ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ Music Video Easter Eggs, Broken Down On the heels of the release of Red (Taylor’s Version), Taylor Swift’s re-recording of her 2012 album, the pop star announced she had another surprise gift for the fans: a music video for the album’s new vault track, “I Bet You Think About Me,” featuring Chris Stapleton. Swift tapped her longtime close friend Blake Lively to direct the video and co-wrote the video’s story alongside her. In an Instagram teaser announcing the video, Swift wrote, “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.” Swift released the video on Monday at 10 A.M. EST, which featured Swift crashing an ex’s wedding. The groom, played by Miles Teller, keeps spotting her in the venue and ultimately must confront the feelings he still has for her—and the future with her that he gave up. As for who the song is about, fans are once again pinning this Red track on actor Jake Gyllenhaal, as the “I Bet You Think About Me” lyrics reference an ex who’s more elite and hipster than Swift is, potential nods to Gyllenhaal’s character. Swift and Gyllenhaal dated for three months in 2010, and their emotional but short romance is believed to have inspired much of Red and its breakup tracks.

The box also seemed to appear in All Too Well: The Short Film in a scene with actress Sadie Sink.

As one fan pointed out on Twitter, could this wedding gift be Swift’s warning to the bride to stay away from the groom? Or, as another fan suggested, is this Swift signaling that she’s moved on from the relationship? .

She’s done it in the “Blank Space” music video and the “You Need to Calm Down” music video before repeating the gesture again in this one. But the wedding cake featured in “I Bet You Think About Me” has additional significance: The top tier features the numbers 13 (Swift’s favorite) and 26; the middle tier has both the “Red” ring design and the “Love” ring design; and the bottom tier features a set of birds that fans noticed look a lot like the birds Swift wore on her shirt on the 1989 album cover. A fan on Twitter also noted that Swift was 26 when 1989 came out—a potential clue to what album she’s releasing next—and that “I Bet You Think About Me” is the 26th song on Red (Taylor’s Version).The cake taylor swift standing next to a wedding cake in the i bet you think about me music video YOUTUBE As fans pointed out on Twitter, Swift loves to destroy a cake.

Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, was also credited as a producer on the video. The kids’ table taylor swift sitting at the kids table at a wedding in the i bet you think about me music video YOUTUBE Fans are theorizing that the reason Swift is often seen among children in the music video’s fictional wedding is because her ex constantly treated her like a kid. In her song “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” also believed to be about Gyllenhaal, Swift sings: “You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine / And that made me want to die”
