They were holding hands very heavily there.
Hello. If you haven’t watched Bridgerton but beware, there are big SPOILERS ahead!
There are countless reasons why fans are obsessed with Bridgerton. The costumes, the music, the romantic speeches …
But there is one element that really makes people talk: the sex montage “Wildest Dreams” and THAT. LIBRARY. SCENE.
If you remember (tbh, how could you forget?), Episode 6 of Bridgerton sees Simon and Daphne on their honeymoon. Inside Bridgertonin the world, it means that they spend basically every moment of the day having sex in all their luxurious English property.
And, of course, all of this is defined as Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” in orchestral form.
i spent the first day of the new year watching bridgerton from start to finish, what really stayed with me is the assembly of several sex scenes (for a quick taylor orchestrated arrangement) explicitly and repeatedly demonstrating the withdrawal method
The montage is incredible overall, but there is one part that really impressed fans: the library scene.
they had no right to make sex scenes look so good in Bridgerton, now I want to live in a mansion and get run over in a library on a bookshelf, cheers x
People made comparisons to the library’s sex scene in Atonement, because how could you not?
the scene of the Atonement library walked so that Bridgerton could execute https://t.co/ETmo7CY8Id
But for me, the most important thing about that lewd scene in the library is this: IT WAS THE FIRST SCENE PHOEBE DYNEVOR AND REGÉ-JEAN PAGE SHOOTED TOGETHER.
Seriously, their first day on the set together as Daphne and Simon, these two filmed a sex scene on a library staircase. In addition, it was filmed in the London Reform Club library, which houses one of Shakespeare’s first folios.

(☝ real GIF from librarians everywhere / probably the ghost of Shakespeare watching that scene.)
Either way, I think we can all agree that we will never look at library stairs, stone stairs, outdoor gazebos in the rain or Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” in the same way again.
all i can say is that after watching bridgerton, i would like a library with a ladder in my house …
