Olivia Rodrigo Goes Behind the Scenes of ‘(4 Christmas)’ With Ben Marshall and Cynthia Nixon

Olivia Rodrigo shared behind-the-scenes footage from her “Take Me Home (4 Christmas)” music video on Wednesday (Nov. 11), showing how she filmed scenes with Ben Marshall and Cynthia Nixon.

“We are in beautiful upstate New York,” Rodrigo says of the shoot location. “It’s absolutely gorgeous out. We’re in this awesome house.”

The footage shows Rodrigo seemingly meeting the Saturday Night Live actor for the first time and expressing her excitement about working with the Sex and the City star. “I’m over the moon,” the Grammy winner tells Nixon. “I just can’t believe it.”

During a scene in which Marshall chops wood for a fire, people off camera repeatedly ask if he’s OK as he struggles with the axe. “Yeah, I’m acting!” he says with a laugh.

Rodrigo released “Take Me Home (4 Christmas),” her first holiday song, alongside its music video on Nov. 5. In the video, she fantasizes about spending Christmas with her boyfriend, played by Marshall, and his family, imagining herself as a picture-perfect daughter-in-law.

The behind-the-scenes footage also shows how the crew filmed a makeover scene in which her boyfriend’s younger sister colors on Rodrigo’s face, and another in which Nixon, who also stars in The Gilded Age, walks in on the singer in her underwear.

“Take Me Home (4 Christmas)” follows Rodrigo’s third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which recently spent its fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
