Music video [edit]

Synopsis [edit]

The video starts with Swift standing on a bridge while pensively gazing across the water and remembering a lost love. She then takes a walk along the Île de la Cité in Paris,[ citation needed ] wearing a Red dress with white bloom appliques and blue peep toes and sits beside the river Seine. The video draws comparing to that of singer Adele'due south music video "Someone Like You" and Swift's own "Dorsum to December" (simply much happier).[26]

Swift and so rides a bicycle, wearing a blue and white floral skirt with white cat flats with lord's day glasses on and bikes down a Cobblestone 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 meeting with the man at a café while sipping cappuccino. He starts taking snapshots of her with his Leica M6. They and then have a bitter-sugariness chat, laughing and giggling at each other. The following clips shows Swift sitting at a park and sampling pastries. It likewise shows Swift walking past the Seine. The clip ends with the two walking side by side, equally Swift allows herself to "brainstorm once more."

Departure from lyrics [edit]

Directed by Philip Andelman and produced by Arthur Cantin,[27] the story in the video deviates from the song's lyrical narrative in several respects. While the lyrics recount the narrator'southward (Swift) trepidation of a kickoff engagement after a bad breakup, the video instead relates a run a risk meeting in a cafe in Paris. In the video, Swift is seated at a booth, doodling in a pocket-sized notebook when a Frenchman at another table takes interest and introduces himself. Missing from the video are the Swift'due south initial moments in the cafe, where her date has arrived early on to await for her, greets her, then helps her into her chair, displaying kindness and respect that was apparently absent-minded from her former relationship. Late in the song, the restaurant encounter draws to a conclusion while the couple walks to Swift's car.

The song lyrics describe a touching moment when Swift feels an urge to talk most her previous relationship, but earlier she can, her date starts describing his family's Christmas movie watching tradition. It is the pivotal moment in "Begin Once again", where Swift realizes she is no longer bound to her erstwhile relationship, "And for the first time, what's 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 asphalt road. The couple apparently is non walking to her car every bit described in the song lyrics, as she walks with her bike. In the video, it is clear that Swift is feeling dear for her new friend, while the song lyrics exit information technology to the listener to decide whether Swift is finding love in her new friend, or is more generally reclaiming her power to love through the experience of this date.

Reception [edit]

Entertainment Weekly thought the video was "another classic bittersweet Swift joint," writing: "Though her boyfriend doesn't express mirth at her jokes and bores her with stories almost his family's Christmas movie-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's a lovely clip, only a little bit sleepy. Also, in that location's something about it that recalls 'Back to December' — is it the color palette, or merely the general moodiness?".[28] [29] To appointment, the video has over 190 million views on YouTube.
