If the set of Sugarland’s music video for “Babe” looks familiar, well, that’s because it was on the set of Mad Men (and Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” clip).

The dramatic 1960’s-themed clip the duo’s Jennifer Nettles as a glamorous housewife who has just discovered that her husband, portrayed by actor Brandon Routh, has been hooking up with his secretary, played by Taylor Swift.

“The concept is a married couple who we think is the perfect married couple, and then we find out that the husband is a cheating cad, and that’s me,” Routh, who is used to playing the good guy, said in the BTS clip.

The video also gives a look at how the crew filmed the driving scenes and highlighted Nettles’ ability to change emotion on a dime.

According to Nettles and her counterpart, Kristian Bush, the idea for the video was suggested by the co-writer and collaborator Taylor Swift when it came time to choose a treatment.
