Music video [edit]

Synopsis [edit]

The video starts with Swift continuing 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 Blood-red dress with white blossom appliques and blue peep toes and sits abreast the river Seine. The video draws comparison to that of vocalizer Adele'south music video "Someone Like You" and Swift's own "Back to December" (only much happier).[26]

Swift then rides a wheel, wearing a bluish 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 apparel, which is spliced with shots of Swift singing to a homo (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 then have a biting-sweet conversation, laughing and giggling at each other. The following clips shows Swift sitting at a park and sampling pastries. It also shows Swift walking past the Seine. The clip ends with the 2 walking side by side, as Swift allows herself to "brainstorm over again."

Deviation from lyrics [edit]

Directed past Philip Andelman and produced by 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 kickoff engagement later on a bad breakup, the video instead relates a chance coming together in a cafe in Paris. In the video, Swift is seated at a berth, doodling in a small 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 cafe, where her date has arrived early to await for her, greets her, then helps her into her chair, displaying kindness and respect that was obviously absent from her former relationship. Tardily in the vocal, the restaurant run across draws to a determination while the couple walks to Swift'southward car.

The song lyrics describe a touching moment when Swift feels an urge to talk almost her previous human relationship, but before she can, her date starts describing his family unit's Christmas movie watching tradition. Information technology is the pivotal moment in "Brainstorm Again", where Swift realizes she is no longer jump to her old relationship, "And for the first time, what'southward past is by". In the video, instead of a clear end to the appointment, Swift is shown walking her bike alongside her new friend downwardly a asphalt road. The couple apparently is not walking to her car as described in the song lyrics, every bit she walks with her bike. In the video, it is clear that Swift is feeling dear for her new friend, while the vocal lyrics leave information technology 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]

Amusement Weekly thought the video was "another archetype bloodshot Swift joint," writing: "Though her boyfriend doesn't laugh at her jokes and bores her with stories about 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). It's a lovely clip, merely a petty bit sleepy. Also, there's something almost it that recalls 'Back to December' — is it the color palette, or only the general moodiness?".[28] [29] To date, the video has over 190 1000000 views on YouTube.
