Time to pack in those You Need To Calm Down pool floats — it's Christmastime in Taylor Nation.

Ahead of the Friday debut of Taylor Swift's Lover, the pop singer has released the music video for the album's title track. Starring Swift's longtime friend and backup dancer Christian Owens, the romantic video imagines the magical life of a couple in love, living year-round in a sparkly snow globe.

Per Swift's pre-release livestream, the dreamy ballad was inspired by a lyric from "You Are In Love" off her album 1989 "You two are dancing in a snow globe ’round and ’round" — as well as seeing two of her close friends fall in love.

Swift's seventh album Lover debuts Aug. 23, 2019.
