Where You've Seen the Groom in Taylor Swift's 'I Bet You Think About Me' Music Video Before

Taylor Swift has dropped the music video for The Vault track, "I Bet You Think About Me" featuring Chris Stapleton and she even got Gossip Girl icon Blake Lively to direct it.

There are many reasons to be excited about the video, (its Lively's directorial debut and there are numerous Easter Eggs planted by the duo) but the groom at the center of it all is what has got everybody talking.

In the video, Swift, dressed head to toe in Red (obviously), appears via visions at her ex's wedding to his new bride. He even imagines having his first dance with her, before she sings the lyrics: "Now you're out in the world, searchin' for your soul/ Scared not to be hip, scared to get old/ Chasing make-believe status, last time you felt free/ Was when none of that shit mattered 'cause you were with me."

The groom in question is played by American actor, Miles Teller. His real-life wife, Keleigh Sperry even stars in the music video as his bride.

Swifties will have noticed Sperry even gets the opportunity to wear the famous red scarf from "All Too Well" in the music video.

Teller's big breakthrough role came in 2014 when he starred in Damien Chazelle's film Whiplash as Andrew Neiman, a drummer who tries to impress his abusive jazz teacher, played by J.K Simmons.

For his performance in Whiplash, Teller received nominations for Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Actor, the Satellite Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture, and the BAFTA Rising Star Award.
