The video, directed by Anthony Mandler, features Brandon Routh, Jennifer Nettles and Taylor in primary roles. Taylor \u2018s attire in the music video was compared to that of character Joan Holloway from the television series \u201cMad Men\u201d.\n<br><br>\nRouth and Nettles are a married couple while Taylor plays the role of a secretary who is having an affair with her married boss (Routh). Routh is shown to be an unfaithful husband throughout the clip and is, ultimately, discovered by Nettles. However, it is later revealed that both women were victims, with Nettles being cheated on and Taylor being told by Routh that he loves her and has written love letters to her, but later abandons her, breaking both women\u2019s hearts.\n<br><br>\nThe music video was nominated for \u201cVideo of the Year\u201d at the 2018 <em>CMA Awards<\/em> and 2019 <em>ACM Awards<\/em>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5bbe2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a5bbe2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Taylor's Version<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-622acbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"622acbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor re-recorded \u201cBabe\u201d, subtitled \u201c(Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d, for her second re-recorded album, <em>RED (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, released on November 12, 2021, through Republic Records.

(From The Vault) Bigger (Sugarland, 2018) | RED (Taylor\u2019s Version) [2021] \u201cBabe\u201d is a song originally written by Taylor and Patrick Monahan of Train for her 2012 album RED. It was cut from the final track list and instead got released by American country music duo Sugarland on April 20, 2018, as the second single from their sixth studio album, Bigger (2018). As a song originally released by Big Machine Records, \u201cBabe (Taylor\u2019s Version) [From The Vault]\u201d is included in the release of RED (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u00a0[2021].The acoustic breakup song finds Taylor chiding a cheating lover for ruining a relationship. It is assumed that \u201cBabe\u201d was written about actor Jake Gyllenhaal since its theme fits right into the story she tells about him on the album. There are several connections between \u201cBabe\u201d and other songs written for RED, including \u201cAll Too Well,\u201d \u201cGirl At Home,\u201d \u201cWe Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,\u201d and \u201cThe Last Time.\u201d Table of Contents Background Patrick Monahan, the founding member of rock band Train, first spoke about writing a song with Taylor during a 2013 interview with ABC News Radio. He said that when he asked Taylor about collaborating on a song for Train\u2019s next album, she asked him to co-write a song for her fourth album, RED (2012). Ultimately, \u201cBabe\u201d was not included on the album, but when Taylor decided to put out a deluxe version of RED, Monahan thought it would finally be released. The track list for Sugarland\u2019s album Bigger, which was released on April 12, 2018, shows that \u201cBabe\u201d is the only song on the album not co-written by Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.\u00a0They told reporters backstage at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards that the collaboration came about after Taylor called the duo, wanting to work with them: \u00ab[Taylor] reached out. We [have] obviously known each other for many years. When she was first getting started we had just had our first little EP out, called Premium Quality Tunes. She still has a copy of it that we signed for her whenever we played a couple of shows together. She was excited we were getting back together and reached out and said, \u2018Hey, I have a song.\u2018 That is a short list, ladies and gentleman, of people to whom she has said, \u2018Hey, I have a song, you want to sing it?\u2019 So we said, \u2018Yeah!\u2019\u2019 We\u2019ve never really put a song by anyone else on our records so we weren\u2019t really used [to] sorting through that and we didn\u2019t want to mess it up, so we didn\u2019t tell anybody until we got it finished and she liked it. Thank God. Because it is a good song.\u00bb Jennifer Nettles Taylor revealed in August 2021 that she recorded a solo rendition of \u201cBabe\u201d for the 2021 re-recording of RED, called RED (Taylor\u2019s Version). The Companion to \u201cBetter Man\u201d \u201cBabe\u201d marked the second song Taylor had written for a country act since making her full transition to pop in 2014 (following Little Big Town\u2019s \u201cBetter Man\u201d in 2016) and the first country song on which she is credited as an artist since that time. \u201cThe story behind this is that sometimes I\u2019ll write a song that I absolutely love but I feel like it doesn\u2019t fit with an album I\u2019ve made, so I hold it back and hope it\u2019ll have its own moment some day, whether it\u2019s me singing it or some other artist. And in this case, it\u2019s an artist called Sugarland!\u201d In a video uploaded to Instagram on the day of the song\u2019s release, she said: \u00abIt\u2019s a song that I wrote with Pat Monahan when I was making the RED album. I\u2019m so happy that it gets its own life. I\u2019m so happy that Sugarland wanted to record it, and has done such a good job with it, and I\u2019m so stoked to be able to sing on it, too.\u00bb Taylor Swift Commercial Performance \u201cBabe\u201d debuted at No. 27 on Country Airplay dated April 28, 2018. The following week it was released for sale, and the song reached No. 8 on Hot Country Songs with 38,000 copies in the first sales week. The song peaked at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart. It has sold 166,000 copies in the United States as of November 2018. Additionally the song peaked at No. 94 in Canada and No. 64 in Scotland. Music Video Taylor had the original idea for the video\u2019s concept, and as stated per the Sugarland duo themselves, they all got together before the video shoot to collaborate on ideas. The video, directed by Anthony Mandler, features Brandon Routh, Jennifer Nettles and Taylor in primary roles. Taylor \u2018s attire in the music video was compared to that of character Joan Holloway from the television series \u201cMad Men\u201d. Routh and Nettles are a married couple while Taylor plays the role of a secretary who is having an affair with her married boss (Routh). Routh is shown to be an unfaithful husband throughout the clip and is, ultimately, discovered by Nettles. However, it is later revealed that both women were victims, with Nettles being cheated on and Taylor being told by Routh that he loves her and has written love letters to her, but later abandons her, breaking both women\u2019s hearts. The music video was nominated for \u201cVideo of the Year\u201d at the 2018 CMA Awards and 2019 ACM Awards. Taylor\u2019s Version Taylor re-recorded \u201cBabe\u201d, subtitled \u201c(Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d, for her second re-recorded album, RED (Taylor\u2019s Version), released on November 12, 2021, through Republic Records. She posted a snippet of the re-recording on Tumblr a day before the album\u2019s release. \u201cBabe (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d features trumpets, saxophones, and flutes that were absent from Sugarland\u2019s version. When talking about the re-recording to Amazon Music, Taylor said: \u00abThe song \u2018Babe\u2019 is a song that was gonna go on RED.
