Taylor Swift and Blake Lively "raise a toast, and a little hell" with new music video announcement

On Sunday, after the record-breaking release of her newest re-recorded album, Red (Taylor's Version), Taylor Swift has announced her upcoming music video, featuring Blake Lively making her directorial debut.

The pop superstar's new song, 'I Bet You Think About Me' featuring Chris Stapleton, is set to come to life on November 15th at 10 ET.

There's a countdown on YouTube for the debut of the music video, featuring an image of Swift in a dramatic red ballgown in a red lit room, strumming a red guitar.

Swift shared a clip on Twitter and Instagram promoting the new video. It starts with a shot of a three-tiered cake with white icing and two finger prints drawn through it, revealing the red cake inside. Then a hand wearing a ruby colored stone a diamonds reaches in and claws a huge chunk out of it.

The credits then say the video was co-written by Swift and Lively, who also directed the piece. The singer captioned the video: "SURPRISE! NEW MUSIC VIDEO TOMORROW at 10am ET.

"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."

This exciting video announcement comes after Red (Taylor’s Version) has had great success since its November 12th release, with Spotify announcing the album had broken two records- the most streamed album in a day by a female, and the record for the most streamed female in a day in the music streaming service’s history.

As part of the 30 track album, Swift produced a new 10-minute version of her popular 2012 hit 'All Too Well'. Alongside the release, she shared a short film for the track staring Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink and Teen Wolf actor Dylan O'Brien.

Continuing a triumphant weekend, Swift appeared on the US sketch show Saturday Night Live, performing the full 10-minute rendition of 'All Too Well'.

Red (Taylor's Version) is the second album as part of Swift's re-release project, reclaiming ownership of her music after the master recordings were acquired and sold by manager Scooter Braun, despite her offers to purchase them.
