Taylor Swift’s videos are usually fun but, also usually, they’re about a boy who broke her heart in one way or another. This doesn’t apply to the latest release from the country pop star, the video for the single “22.”

Check it out above in full.

“We shot this video last month in Malibu. I never had this fun shooting a video because my friends in the video are actually my real life best friends,” Taylor said ahead of the official premiere of the vid.

It shows that she and the girls are having lots of fun. The video shows them out partying, eating cake, playing silly games, working on their tan by the pool and hanging out on the beach.

It’s beautiful and it’s cute without being too sappy but, perhaps more important considering the kind of criticism Taylor has attracted in recent months because of her troubled love life and the connection between it and her music, it’s different from her previous work.

Enjoy!
