    We hopefully know that they're friends.

    Fun fact: The spoken "gorgeous" at the beginning of Taylor's song "Gorgeous" is actually Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's daughter James! And, of course, the names of the characters in "Betty" are the names of Ryan and Blake's children.

    And lastly, we all know Taylor has begun re-recording her pre-Lover albums.

    Quick recap: Scooter Braun's company, Ithaca Holdings, bought Taylor's former record label, Big Machine, acquiring her masters. He subsequently sold them for $300 million. Taylor has spoken out about Scooter and how this is a worst-case scenario for her, and also about her attempts to regain control over her masters, as well as her decision to ultimately re-record her old music when those efforts failed.

    Now that you're up to speed: While we've had some teasers of the fact that she's recording, we haven't actually heard any of Taylor's re-recordings. UNTIL NOW.

    Because Taylor and Ryan have teamed up to give us Christmas early this year, in the form of a commercial for Match.com produced by Ryan's company, Maximum Effort.

    In the commercial, the Devil and 2020 meet up through Match.com and find love. It's pretty funny.

    Taylor responded to the commercial on Twitter, letting us know that she's hard at work on her re-records and released this one as a favor to Ryan.

    ...noting that it sounds just like the original, but somehow unique, too.
