Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes’s ‘Lover’ Remix Is Valentine’s Day In A Song

Taylor Swift enlisted the help of Shawn Mendes to bring an extra-sweet version of her track "Lover" to life.


The shimmering remix is a pretty anthem that expands upon the original, with Shawn giving it his own flavor, complete with rewritten lyrics and plenty of falsetto. It was already a warm and cozy love song, yet it's been beefed up considerably into something transcendentally romantic.


Taylor teased the song herself on early Wednesday (November 13) as featuring someone she had routinely wanted to collaborate with" before revealing who she had recorded with in the same video: Shawn.


"He has taken 'Lover' and he has re-written parts of it, which I think is so crucial because I love him as a writer,"Swift mentioned of the remix in a brief clip on her Instagram."And I also think that everybody would write a different love letter to their lover and I think his take on it is so beautiful."


Mendes weaves a remarkable love story during the song, saying he'd "go down with the Titanic" for the "girl in his story."


"We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen baby," he croons, with glittery, romantic lyrics that really drive the song's message house. Photographs of once we were young they hang on the wall / And we would sit on the stoop and I'll sing love songs to you any time we're 80 / Visualize I finally got you right now, honey I won't let you fall."


Shawn later took to Twitter to thank Taylor for letting him accompany her on "such a cute song," clearly excited to have been segment of the process.


The "Lover" remix is obtainable to stream right now across all major platforms, and you could listen to it for the entire day if you'd like. It could even help get you via winter chill.
