When Is Taylor Swift's New Blake Lively-Directed Music Video Released?

Christmas has come early for Taylor Swift fans, with the release of her re-recorded album Red (Taylor's Version) last Friday and several more goodies dropping over the weekend.

The singer followed up the album's launch with a short film she directed for the 10-minute extended version of her track "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)," which premiered on YouTube on Saturday, November 13 and starred Stranger Things' Sadie Sink and The Maze Runner's Dylan O'Brien.

But that's not all the "Shake It Off" hitmaker has in store for Swifties, as she revealed on Sunday, November 14 that she would be releasing a new music video for "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)" directed by her close friend Blake Lively.

Here is everything you need to know about the video.

Swift took to Instagram on Sunday to share she would be releasing her new video for "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)" on Monday, November 15 at 10am EST.

Teasing the release, Swift posted a short clip that showed her tearing a piece off of a tiered wedding cake (which happens to be red velvet). As Lively is an avid baker, it could well be possible that she prepared the dessert herself.

Tay Tay also revealed the video was written by her and Lively, and that the Gossip Girl star had directed it.

In the caption for the teaser clip, Swift wrote: "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."
