Taylor Swift's newest romantic video for her post-break-up song, "Begin Again," was leaked earlier on GAC-TV and Telly on Tuesday, the same day her newly released fourth studio album, "Red," which is raw, emotional and continues her trademark style of writing honest songs about love, significant and kind of damaging relationships. The 22-year-old seems more confident now about her huge ambition and success, although she remains typically self-deprecating about her romantic life. "It's gonna be, like, a love letter to Paris," Swift told MTV News about the new clip.
Swift often comes under some heat for her lyrics, which can sometimes veer into the junior notebook doodle arena, but the girl is growing up. In an ode to a new romance, Swift paints a vivid picture of a first date following a rough breakup in "Begin Again," and she sounds like a young woman. The country-tinged, soft ballad chronicles the start of a new relationship - one that comes eight months after a breakup which Swift says left her feeling like "all love ever does is break and burn and end."
The male subject of the tune remains a mystery, the song, a well-crafted love story, finds the Country-Pop star singing about a girl embarking on a first date after getting over a bad relationship. The new guy turns out to have a lot of qualities that her ex didn't have. She explained: "It's actually a song about when you've gotten through a really bad relationship and you finally dust yourself off and go on that first date after a horrible break up. And the vulnerability that goes along with all of that."
Perfectly suit the lyrics, the new clip is a sweet, vintage video shot in Paris, and sees Swift turned plenty of heads as she pedaled on her vintage bike around the French capital in a retro skirt and blouse and oversized red sunglasses. The change of clothes leads to a change in mood for this artistic video, which Swift finds herself going from mopey and melancholy, to hopeful and optimistic about love's possibilities, when the country music beauty sitting alone in a cafe before a well-suited guy walks towards her. The scenery and flow of the video is fantastic, but we should expect nothing less from Swift who knowing how to keep her core audience happy, and that is exactly what "Begin Again" accomplishes.
