Who is the guy found in the Lavender Haze of Taylor Swift?

Transgender activist and model Laith Ashley plays Swift’s love interest in the music video. Swift wrote in a tweet announcing the video’s release that she “truly adored working with” Ashley. Swift caresses Ashley’s bare back, revealing a glittering image of the night sky, while the couple lies in bed together in the music video.

Later, we see them at a party, where a hazy purple mist encircles them as they dance on the floor, arms entwined. After the video premiered, Ashley posted on Instagram, “allowing me to have a small role in your narrative.” He ended his letter by saying, “You are wonderful, and this is an experience I will never forget.” The experience was “like nothing I’ve ever had before.” “Thank you for becoming an ally,” he continued.
