Taylor Swiftjust released the first video for the truly excellent Midnights album, 'Lavender Haze.' The video depicts Taylor deeply in love with a new boyfriend as you'd expect from the title.
Taylor shared a tweet in which she praised Ashley and said she "adored" working with him.
Ashley has returned the compliment, describing it as "an experience I will never forget."
Ashley's modeling career has gone completely solo since he became famous on Instagram. He has appeared in campaigns for Calvin Klein, British GQ, Vogue France, Elle UK, and others, including becoming the first transgender man to launch a Diesel campaign.
The reactions from fans are universally positive. Swifties are predictably over the moon and have already begun creating some impressive fan art:
Ashley's followers are gratified that he has reached a new height in his career:
Regardless, others are pointing out a single shot that... well, we’ll let you see what this is implying for yourselves. A simple fold in the sheet, or something more...?
Swift went on to state that she wrote this video and feels that it above all else helped her define the Midnights aesthetic, describing it as a "sultry sleepless 1970s fever dream."
The song is an instant classic, and the video is a straight-up banger. However, at this point, we expect nothing less from Taylor.
