"It’s kind of incredible… that she agreed to let us have the song.
"We did listen to it on repeat for about four hours in a scene. If you want we can sing the whole thing and do”

Elsewhere in the video, Ashley, herself a personal acquaintance of Taylor, commented: “That song is very fun and it was easy for me to sing in the car and it’s fun to have that as a theme song.
"I can’t really choose a favourite track of Taylor’s but my favourite record is Reputation and I could listen to that over and over and over and over again.”
The Wildness follows Liv Taylor (played by Jenna), who upon finding out about her husband Will's affair (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), decides to seek revenge in one of America's most secluded national parks, akin to the plot of Taylor Swift’s track.
