“I feel like laughing in the middle of practice again / To that impression you did of your dad again,” Swift sings on the song’s second verse.
In any event, Bertinelli’s sweet social media gesture comes after Goodnough confirmed his relationship with the actress.
“I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend… and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out.
On Friday, Goodnough also posted video of an Entertainment Tonight segment showcasing the new relationship.
