Taylor Swift Celebrates The Extraordinary Power Of Music In Her First Diet Coke Television Commercial
- Swift’s new hit single “22” serves as centerpiece in first spot
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)– As a musician and songwriter, Taylor Swift holds nothing back. From her personal, intimate song lyrics to her jaw-dropping melodies, her music inspires millions around the globe. Diet Coke celebrates this tireless passion and Swift’s artistic excellence in its first commercial featuring the extraordinary seven-time GRAMMY winner, which debuts nationally today.
The spot, “Music that Moves,” is an evolution of the brand’s iconic Stay Extraordinary campaign and centers on Swift’s unique approach to songwriting and the powerful impact her lyrics and music has on fans. Featuring her new hit single “22,” the spot shows Swift writing wherever inspiration strikes – whether it’s moments before a performance, on the tour bus or in her bedroom – bringing fans into her extraordinary real-life songwriting process.
Premiering today during American Idol®, the spot was filmed in her hometown of Nashville, Tenn., and directed by Fredrik Bond. Opening on Swift penning lyrics in a peaceful bedroom, the spot builds energy with performances by extraordinary Swift fans singing and grooving along as Swift writes verse after verse of her single “22” – whenever inspiration hits. Swift is seen enjoying Diet Coke throughout the spot, helping her stay extraordinary and write the lyrics that connect so well with her fans. It was developed by Droga5 New York, the recently appointed agency of record for Diet Coke. Additional print and digital advertisements featuring Swift will launch later this spring.
“Taylor is a true artist, deeply involved in the full creative process, from writing to production to release,” said Stuart Kronauge, General Manager, Sparkling Beverages, Coca-Cola North America. “The ‘Music That Moves’ spot shows Taylor in her natural element – penning lyrics that one day will speak volumes to millions of fans the world over…all while sipping on a Diet Coke. The commercial serves as a peek behind the curtain at an extraordinary day in the life of a true American superstar.”
In addition to the new ad, Diet Coke will give fans extraordinary access to Swift through social, in-person and in-retail experiences during her sold-out RED Tour. From Swift’s first show in Omaha, Neb., to the final tour stop in Nashville, Tenn., Diet Coke will bring fans even closer to their favorite superstar.
