Christina Mandrell Shares Behind-the-Scenes Details About Being in a Taylor Swift Music Video
Making the whole place shimmer!
Bachelor Nation fans got to know Christina Mandrell on Season 27 of “The Bachelor,” and when seeing her on-screen, fans quickly discovered that they’ve seen her before in a music video for the one and only Taylor Swift.
In Taylor’s music video for her song “Fifteen,” Christina is seen toward the end of the video at the 4:47 mark looking at Taylor and smiling.
Now, Christina just stopped by the “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” podcast and opened up about her experience working with Taylor.
She told the “Click Bait” co-hosts, “It did not take long for the Swifties to find me in the Taylor Swift music video at all. They are impressive. If I need anything found out, I’m going to call the Swifties for sure!”
Christina shared the story of how she got cast in the music video in the first place.
The Bachelor Nation star shared, “In Nashville, they film a lot of music videos and I’ve been signed with an agency to do little acting things here and there since I was 11. The Taylor Swift music video was one of the first things I did. I was only 12, not 15, which is the name of the song. That was forever ago!”

Christina went on, saying, “I just went as an extra through the agency and they picked me out to be featured, I guess. She was so sweet and so nice. Now I live in Hendersonville, not Nashville, so I’m 15 minutes north and that’s where she’s from. We’ll still see her randomly around in town. The playground that I take my daughter to was sponsored and built and designed by Taylor. She’s pretty big in this neck of the woods and everywhere now.”
How cool!
