Take a look at what Taylor Swift made herself do! The singer has come a long way since her teen fairy tale days, and her evolution has never been more evident than it is in Sugarland’s “Babe” video. The idealistic pop princess looking for her Prince Charming has morphed into an experienced seductress who knows that not every love story has a happy ending, and Swift is even willing to play a character who destroys another woman’s happily ever after. “Everything Has Changed,” indeed.
Get ready for your new favorite 1960s drama, starring @jennifernettles, @kristianbush, @taylorswift, and @brandonjrouth. The official video for #Babe will premiere TONIGHT at 9pm ET!

Sugarland member Jennifer Nettles revealed that Taylor Swift reached out to her and bandmate Kristian Bush to let them know that she had an idea for the “Babe” music video, and both members of the country music duo immediately fell in love with her concept. Swift also decided to cast herself as one of the characters in the video, a glamorous working girl who wears tight sweaters and breaks up the monotony of her secretarial job by seducing a coworker who is presumably her boss.
Kristian Bush, who plays the bespectacled neighbor at the end of the video, described it as “your favorite summer movie you haven’t seen yet” during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Jennifer Nettles has also talked about the subject matter of “Babe,” hinting that it might be inspired by one of Taylor Swift’s exes. ELLE suggested that the most likely culprit is former One Direction singer Harry Styles.
