LET’S GET INTO THE TRENDS…

CATCH THE MOMENTUM “SWIFTLY”

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

→Use it for a high-energy “reveal” or highlight sequence, synced to Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.” This part of the song is going viral, and everyone’s using it to show recaps, product lines, steps, or transformations.

WHY IT WORKS

This snippet is already trending hard (as all things Swiftie-related): brands, creators, and everyday users are leveraging it to make fast, engaging content that highlights multiple elements in a single sequence. Audiences love the recap-style format, it’s dynamic, shareable, and keeps viewers watching past the first 3 seconds.

HOW TO USE IT FOR YOUR BIZ

→ Tease a new product launch or collection with a dramatic reveal.
→ Showcase behind-the-scenes moments of your team, office, or production process.
→ Highlight small wins or transformations with a Swift-approved soundtrack.

Ideas to play with:
→ Fashion: Start with a mid-action look, then reveal a styled outfit from your brand synced to the chorus drop.
→ Food/Drink: Ingredients in prep, then plated or served in a cinematic reveal.
→ Office/Brand: Team working or a messy desk, then smash-cut to polished setup or finished project.

Keep it high-energy, sync the drop, ride the Taylor Swift momentum, and hold their attention past the first 3 seconds.

PRODUCT CHASES

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

WHY IT WORKS

HOW TO USE IT FOR YOUR BIZ

→ Highlight limited-stock items or special editions to create FOMO.
