At the start of the clip, Swift and Antonoff, 39, both playfully yell and interrupt each other while sharing their excitement over the success of “Cruel Summer.”
“Our favorite song fromLoverfrom five years ago. The song that we said was the best song but we thought, ‘Oh, you know what? This is going to be our secret best song.’ That’s what we thought,” the “Don’t Take the Money” musician says in the video.
Swift interjects, while pulling at the fabric of her olive green sweater, “We just wanted to say thank you so much for making ‘Cruel Summer’ a Hot 100 No. 1. And it’s not even the summer anymore, it’s deep fall. I’m wearing a sweater.”
“It’s deep fall,” Antonoff concurs, before the pop megastar adds “we love you guys” with a wink.
