Olivia Rodrigo Shares Behind-the-Scenes Look at "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)" Video
Olivia Rodrigo has shared behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the music video for "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)," posting it on November 11. Billboard reported on the clips on November 12.
The song is Rodrigo's first holiday song. It was released alongside its music video on November 5, six days before the new footage appeared.
A music video is a short film made to accompany a song. Behind-the-scenes clips show what happens on set, from the camera setups to the moments between takes, so fans can see how the finished version came together.
The video was shot in upstate New York, the region of the state that lies north of New York City. Ben Marshall and Cynthia Nixon appear alongside Rodrigo, and Marshall plays her boyfriend.
The story follows Rodrigo's character as she imagines spending Christmas with her boyfriend's family. In her daydream she is the picture-perfect daughter-in-law, the kind of guest a family hopes to welcome to the holiday table.
Rodrigo's music is also doing well on the charts. Her third album, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love," has now spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the weekly chart that ranks the most popular albums in the United States. The chart combines album sales with streams, and each stream is converted into a share of an album sale so that plays count toward the total.
For fans, the new footage offers a closer look at the shoot, and the chart run shows the album still at the top of the list. Both stories arrived in the same week, a little under two weeks after the single and video came out.
