Music video [edit]

Synopsis [edit]

The video starts with Swift standing on a span while pensively gazing beyond the h2o and remembering a lost dearest. She then takes a walk forth the Île de la Cité in Paris,[ citation needed ] wearing a Red dress with white flower appliques and blueish peep toes and sits beside the river Seine. The video draws comparison to that of singer Adele'due south music video "Someone Like You" and Swift's own "Back to December" (only much happier).[26]

Swift then rides a wheel, wearing a blue and white floral brim with white cat flats with sun 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 human being (Vladimir Perrin). In a flashback, she recalls her first coming together with the homo at a café while sipping cappuccino. He starts taking snapshots of her with his Leica M6. They then have a biting-sweetness conversation, laughing and giggling at each other. The following 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 adjacent, as Swift allows herself to "brainstorm again."

Difference from lyrics [edit]

Directed by Philip Andelman and produced by Arthur Cantin,[27] the story in the video deviates from the vocal's lyrical narrative in several respects. While the lyrics recount the narrator's (Swift) trepidation of a first engagement after a bad breakup, the video instead relates a take a chance meeting in a cafe in Paris. In the video, Swift is seated at a berth, doodling in a small-scale notebook when a Frenchman at another tabular array takes interest and introduces himself. Missing from the video are the Swift's initial moments in the buffet, where her date has arrived early to look 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 eating house encounter draws to a conclusion while the couple walks to Swift'due south car.

The song lyrics depict a touching moment when Swift feels an urge to talk about her previous relationship, but before she can, her date starts describing his family's Christmas picture watching tradition. Information technology is the pivotal moment in "Brainstorm Again", where Swift realizes she is no longer bound to her old relationship, "And for the get-go time, what's past is past". In the video, instead of a articulate end to the appointment, Swift is shown walking her bike alongside her new friend downwardly a cobblestone route. The couple apparently is non walking to her car as described in the song lyrics, equally she walks with her bicycle. In the video, it 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 dear in her new friend, or is more than generally reclaiming her power to honey 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 laugh at her jokes and bores her with stories nigh his family unit's Christmas movie-watching traditions, she finds the ultimate salve: Wandering through the streets of Paris, chuckling with handsome dudes in a café (and probably snacking on snails or something). Information technology's a lovely prune, but a petty bit sleepy. Also, there's something almost it that recalls 'Dorsum to December' — is information technology the colour palette, or just the general moodiness?".[28] [29] To date, the video has over 190 1000000 views on YouTube.
