In 2011, Taylor Swift released a song named 'Ours' which featured Zac Gilford. 'Ours' is an understated country pop ballad with a folk-influenced production. The lyrics depict a young couple's resilience to protect their relationship despite others' scrutiny. However, music critics gave the song generally positive reviews. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a four-and-a-half out of five ratings and praised the understated production compared to the "shine and polish" of Swift's past singles.
According to GQ, Gilford gave a statement in an interview regarding his video saying, "I saw one cut of it. But I don’t even know where they play music videos anymore. It was cool, man. It was super nice. She got in touch with my people and asked me to do it. And if Taylor Swift asks you to be in her video, you’re like, “Yeah, of course!” What a**hole turns down the biggest pop star in the world? I went down to Nashville for two days. She’s super sweet. It was definitely weird. You’re spending a day and a half hanging out with Taylor Swift, and then you’re never seeing Taylor Swift again."
When he was further asked if they stayed in touch or not, he replied saying, "No, definitely not. But she was so sweet. I was there with my wife, and we stayed an extra day because I had never been to Nashville, and Taylor wrote me a list. It was like, Zach’s to-do list in Nashville. Handwritten out for me. She didn’t need to do that. She’s super genuine and sweet. But no, we haven’t stayed in touch. It would have been weird if I told my wife, 'I got Taylor’s number."
However, 'The Midnight Club' is all set for its premiere on October 7, 2022, only on Netflix.
