Getting emotional over the BTS of the cake scene now that we have the context of his dog passing away the night before 🥺
I bet Nicholas was on his silliest behavior that day to try and keep cheering Taylor up, and then this:
They would hug each other after the insult scenes to "dispel the negative energy" and I'm like, oh my fucking god, being mean to Nicholas on top of how awful he was feeling was probably so hard, and he really needed those hugs.
Then this from the bloopers:
And these pics:
Nicholas was probably doing his very best to make Taylor laugh and smile despite how awful he felt. Paying attention to someone's behavior/mood and making a deliberate effort to help them in whatever way you can is the mark of a really, really good friend. In this case, Taylor needed cheering up, and that's exactly what Nick did.
I can't even put my emotions into words. Nobody touch me; I'm gonna start crying lmfao
