Music video [edit]

Synopsis [edit]

The video starts with Swift standing on a bridge while pensively gazing across the water and remembering a lost beloved. She then takes a walk along the Île de la Cité in Paris,[ commendation needed ] wearing a Red wearing apparel with white flower appliques and bluish peep toes and sits beside the river Seine. The video draws comparison to that of vocalist Adele's music video "Someone Like You" and Swift'south own "Back to December" (simply much happier).[26]

Swift then rides a bicycle, wearing a blue and white floral brim with white true cat flats with sun glasses on and bikes downwards a Asphalt street. She goes shopping and tries on new clothes, which is spliced with shots of Swift singing to a man (Vladimir Perrin). In a flashback, she recalls her first coming together with the human being at a café while sipping cappuccino. He starts taking snapshots of her with his Leica M6. They then have a bitter-sweet conversation, laughing and giggling at each other. The post-obit clips shows Swift sitting at a park and sampling pastries. It also shows Swift walking by the Seine. The clip ends with the two walking side by side, as Swift allows herself to "begin again."

Divergence from lyrics [edit]

Directed past Philip Andelman and produced past Arthur Cantin,[27] the story in the video deviates from the song'southward lyrical narrative in several respects. While the lyrics recount the narrator's (Swift) trepidation of a first date after a bad breakup, the video instead relates a gamble meeting in a buffet in Paris. In the video, Swift is seated at a booth, doodling in a small notebook when a Frenchman at another table takes interest and introduces himself. Missing from the video are the Swift's initial moments in the cafe, where her date has arrived early to wait for her, greets her, and then helps her into her chair, displaying kindness and respect that was plainly absent from her former relationship. Belatedly in the vocal, the restaurant encounter draws to a conclusion while the couple walks to Swift's car.

The song lyrics draw a touching moment when Swift feels an urge to talk virtually her previous human relationship, but before she tin can, her date starts describing his family's Christmas movie watching tradition. It is the pivotal moment in "Begin Over again", where Swift realizes she is no longer bound to her old relationship, "And for the first time, what'south by is past". In the video, instead of a clear end to the appointment, Swift is shown walking her cycle alongside her new friend down a cobblestone route. The couple apparently is not walking to her car as described in the song lyrics, equally she walks with her wheel. In the video, information technology is clear that Swift is feeling love for her new friend, while the song lyrics get out it to the listener to decide whether Swift is finding love in her new friend, or is more generally reclaiming her ability to love through the experience of this date.

Reception [edit]

Entertainment Weekly idea the video was "some other classic bittersweet Swift joint," writing: "Though her fellow doesn't laugh at her jokes and bores her with stories about his family unit's Christmas picture-watching traditions, she finds the ultimate save: Wandering through the streets of Paris, chuckling with handsome dudes in a café (and probably snacking on snails or something). It'due south a lovely prune, but a trivial bit sleepy. Also, there's something most it that recalls 'Back to Dec' — is it the color palette, or just the general moodiness?".[28] [29] To date, the video has over 190 million views on YouTube.
