Ahead of the music video’s release, Swift spoke to fans about her latest work during a YouTube Live appearance. “Reputationfor me was cityscape-nighttime-darkness … like full swamp witch,” she said. “But with this album … [it] felt aesthetically and from an energetic perspective very daytime, very sunlit fields. I really just pictured this and wrote music from a perspective of a much more open, just free, romantic, whimsical place.”
