Taylor Swift ‘Saves B.o.B’s Life’ on ‘Both of Us’ Video Shoot
Taylor Swift and B.o.B recently shot the video for their new single, ‘Both of Us,’ in Nashville, Tenn. where the country star saved the rapper from certain death — well, kind of.
In a new behind-the-scenes clip from the shoot, Swift and Bobby Ray talk about the overwhelming bug situation on set, and during one scene, the 22-year-old spotted a giant spider on B.o.B’s shoulder.
“There was one point … I looked over and on Bob’s shoulders this giant spider …” Swift recalls, clearly still rattled by the arachnid. “It looked like a bird, it was that big. It was just just like hanging out there just ready to kill him, and I saved his life by pointing it out. I’ll point that out.”
The clip shows the pair shooting scenes in a wildflower field and a local pool hall along with adorable kids and dogs. Director Jake Nava explains that his vision for the video was to create a “collage of different aspects of humanity in the southern states.”
Finally, the Atlanta native waxes poetic about the track. “It’s not even a song; it’s more like a project,” he says. “This is bigger than just B.o.B / Taylor Swift. This is about all walks of life, all classes of society. It’s about everybody, really.”
