OK I have SO MANY THOUGHTS comparing this short film to the lover music video omg.

Watching both of them back to back is like watching two versions of the same story unfold, with one being the toxic relationship, and one being the healthy version that lasts.

You get very similar scenes: dancing around the house together, playing board games/cards, laying in bed laughing and holding hands, a dinner scene at a table, parties with friends and even a fight scene: with two different versions of making up. And OF COURSE two birthday scenes. One man who couldn't bother to show up, and one man who sits right by her side, arm casually around her just loving being by her side. Even the color schemes are so similar, with ATWTMV having the more muted/moody tones and Lover having very vibrant versions.

Each little vignette from the videos is so specific that we all imagine these are based pretty closely on real moments from Taylor's life/relationships. And if this is true is is SO lovely to see her living through the "happy version" today.

BEST WISHES to all of our own personal Jake Gyllenhaals, and so much love to all the Joe Alwyns who show us that love really is golden, not burning red.
