Watch Gwen Stefani’s Soulful New Video

“Used to Love You” comes on the heels of Stefani’s split from ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. 

You know that thing they say about how when Sky Beard closes a door, he opens a window? Well it must be true because although Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale just divorced, Madonna and Sean Penn are reportedly “hanging out” again. And so spins the wheels of time…

While you’re processing those pearls of info, here are a couple more. Just like it’s the gospel truth that you should never date a writer unless you want to end up in 100 different blog posts, you should never date a musician unless you want to end up in a song. The brand new video for Gwen Stefani’s “Used to Love You” is proof of this because it’s so clearly (I mean, right?) about her ex-husband. 

“Never thought this would happen / Gotta let it sink in, you’re gone,” she sings. “You can keep all the memories / I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you / I thought you loved me the most.”

Oh, no, Gwen! Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out.
