I Bet You Think About Me

The accompanying music video, which marked Blake Lively's directorial debut, stars Swift as a woman who attempts to sabotage the wedding of her ex-boyfriend (Miles Teller).

"I Bet You Think About Me" peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Global 200 and entered on the charts in Australia, Canada, and the United States.

[2] The decision followed a public 2019 dispute between Swift and the talent manager Scooter Braun, who had acquired Big Machine, including the masters of her albums which the label had released.

[9] Swift wrote the song while staying in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to play two Gillette Stadium shows as part of her Speak Now World Tour in June 2011.

Christopher Rowe recorded Swift's lead vocals at Kitty Committee Studio in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

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 Dessner, and recorded by Jeremy Murphy at the EBC Studio in London.

[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]".

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.

[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.

[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.

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.

The destroyed wedding cake repairs itself, and inside his mind, Teller sees himself and Swift dancing again, with her repetitively pulling away.
