We've been following Alessia Cara and Troye Sivan for a while (see here, here, here).
They're young, 20 and 21, but they've amassed huge followings online. They're the kind of artists that can tour sold out shows, while anyone over the age of 23 is like wait, who is that guy again?
Except if you're Taylor Swift, as she's publicly endorsed both of them. Cara made a guest appearance in Tampa on the 1989 tour, and Swift even interviewed Cara for her album promotion.
Taylor Swift repeatedly tweeted about Troye Sivan's EP Wild when it came out in 2015.
@taylorswift13 TAYLOR THANK YOU SO MUCH. This means the world to me!!! 1989 is most definitely #AlbumGoals

...where are we going with this since all of this happened in 2015?
Well, Troye Sivan re-released a video for Wild, but this time with a help from his co-Swift-protégé Alessia Cara.
It is such an iGen lifestyle video, everyone is attractive, kisses, and filters that should make even Instagram jealous. We love it. We put this version on our latest mixtape and even though we heard it a few times already – yesterday walking home when the Alessia Cara part comes on it was literally all goosebumps.
