7 Ways Taylor Swift’s ‘Wildest Dreams’ is Like a Nicholas Sparks Movie

If you haven’t already seen Taylor Swift’s music video for “Wildest Dreams,” stop everything right now and watch it here:

It’s everything we love, rolled into one—a healthy dose of heartwrenching romance, stunning animals, and obviously, runway-worthy fashion. But something about these captivating 4 minutes has us wondering if there’s something more to this formula… we did a little digging, and realized that “Wildest Dreams” is basically a Nicholas Sparks movie. Here’s the proof:

1. Flirting isn’t awkward, it’s adorable

2. Couples frequently jump into one another’s arms in joy

3. The presence of steamy guys is NOT lacking

4. No great love comes without pain

5. Apparently there is nothing more romantic than kissing in the rain

6. You never forget a great love

7. Breakups tend to end with someone driving away
