I Bet You Think About Me

Last updated

Swift produced "I Bet You Think About Me" with Aaron Dessner, who recorded and engineered the track with Jonathan Low. Christopher Rowe recorded Swift's lead vocals at Kitty Committee Studio in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Dessner played acoustic guitar, bass guitar, high-strung guitar, and piano. Josh Kaufman was an additional recording engineer and played the harmonica, electric guitar, and lap steel guitar. The track features a string section (consisting of violins, violas, cellos) played by the London Contemporary Orchestra; their performance was conducted by Robert Ames, orchestrated by Dessner's brother Bryce, and recorded by Jeremy Murphy at the EBC Studio in London. Chris Stapleton's vocals were recorded at Sputnik Sound Studio in Nashville. Low mixed the track and Dessner recorded the instruments that he played at Long Pond Studios in New York. [14]

The end product is a country and folk-pop ballad. [17] [18] [19] It has a harmonica-driven production [20] with twangy vocals [21] and background vocal harmonies from Stapleton. [17] In the lyrics, Swift makes multiple sarcastic remarks towards an ex-lover and his lifestyle. [22] Swift said, "We wanted this song to be like a comedic, tongue-in-cheek, funny, not caring what anyone thinks about you sort of breakup song", and explained that she and McKenna wanted to write a drinking song. [11] The ex-lover in question has made Swift feel inferior towards him; she fails to fit in with his "upper-crust circles", and he has once told her that he and Swift are "too different". [23] Recounting the differences between the two former partners' childhoods, she labels herself as a girl "raised on a farm" and the ex-lover as someone born with a "silver spoon" and from a "gated community. [24] At the end of the song, Swift additionally references her ex-lover's "cool indie concerts", "organic shoes", and "million-dollar [couches]". [18] [24] She concludes the song by referring to her songwriting profession: "When you say, 'Oh my god, she's insane, she wrote a song about me?'/ I bet you think about me." [25]

Critics generally praised Chris Stapleton's guest appearance.

Music critics praised the production, Swift's songwriting, and Stapleton's guest appearance. [26] Variety 's Chris Willman gave "I Bet You Think About Me" a five-star rating and lauded the lyrics as sharp. Although Willman considered Stapleton's guest appearance too short, he praised the country production as rowdier compared to Swift's early artistic output. [27] Jessica Nicholson from Billboard complimented Stapleton's "burnished, bluesy vocal" and the "well-crafted" lyrics about a kiss-off to a high-class ex-lover. [28] Also from Billboard, Jason Lipshutz remarked that Swift's "deadpanning" delivery highlighted her wittiness. [29] In USA Today , Melissa Ruggieri wrote that Stapleton's "whiskey-hued vocals are the beautiful sandpaper to Swift's sleek voice" and found the lyrics some of Swift's "snarkiest". [30] Time's critics in 2023 placed "I Bet You Think About Me" fourth on their ranking of Swift's 25 vault tracks; Moises Mendes II commended the lyricism and deemed Stapleton a fitting guest vocalist. [31] Josh Kurp of Uproxx ranked it seventh out of 26 vault tracks and said that the "sarcastic" lyricism made it a good drinking song. [32] At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards (2023), the song received a nomination for Best Country Song. [33]

After Red (Taylor's Version) was released, "I Bet You Think About Me" debuted at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 27, 2021.

A music video for "I Bet You Think About Me" premiered on the video-sharing platform YouTube on November 15, 2021. Swift and American actress Blake Lively wrote the treatment for the video, and the latter directed it in her directorial debut. [43] The video documents a wedding, with the wedding couple played by the actor Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry, who had been a friend of Swift's for years. [44] [45] Swift plays an ex-girlfriend who intrudes upon the wedding. [46] Aaron Dessner has a cameo as a member of the wedding band, while Swift's brother Austin is credited as a producer for the music video. [47] Stapleton does not appear in the video. In 2022, the music video was nominated for Video of the Year at both the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards [48] and the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards. [49]

Synopsis

The 6-minute video begins with Teller's character in a bathroom, practicing a speech for his wedding, though he feels frustrated and seems to sense that something is off. At the wedding ceremony, Swift wreaks havoc wherever she goes: first, she disrupts cocktail hour as a catering server. Next, she ruins the wedding cake and prompts a young bridesmaid to do the same. Then, after giving a toast at the banquet--during which she gives the bride (played by Teller's real wife, Keleigh Sperry [50] ) a red scarf--she chugs wine and faints in front of the guests. Lastly, while eating, she makes several young girls stick out their middle fingers.

After being blinded by the light from a camera, Teller opens his eyes to find himself on a dance floor, empty except for Swift, who is now donning a wedding dress. Time seems to have frozen around them, as none of the watching guests move. The two dance together, until Swift pulls away. Her wedding dress turns into a red gown, and she and her band play "I Bet You Think About Me" for him as everything else at the wedding turns red in color. The destroyed wedding cake repairs itself, and inside his mind, Teller sees himself and Swift dancing again, with her repetitively pulling away. The video ends with Teller in the bathroom again, who has now realized the life he and Swift could have had, had he not left her.
