Marissa Killpack

I was just asking myself "when are they going to react to the out of the woods video "earlier today when I watched the Style reaction haha this is amazing, what a treat!!

sammi snyder

yay perfect for me to watch while i clean my house. happy new year besties! thanks for everything‼️🥂😌

Joe Weaver

Sneaking one more in on us!

Jaimie C

i'm so excited about this! full transparency i've never watched ootw mv before and was going to today. but now i have you to watch it with and tell me all the tea 🤩

Joe Weaver

Curious why they skipped Bad Blood though if we're going in chronological other.

Joe Weaver

This is a superior music video! And, in my opinion, the best song on 1989.

Marissa Killpack

I only paid so much attention to I don't want to live forever when it came out so much because it was so much drama when she did a collab with Zayne after the Harry break up. I remember people freaking out about it..

Jaimie C

i'm thrilled! highly anticipated watching this cuz i've heard so much hype about it. i agree i love ootw soooo much on 1989tv

Lizzie Page

Just wanted to say, this 2023 with you ladies and all friends has been a gift ☺️ this out-of-place straight guy Swiftie has felt so welcome!

Ava Jeffs

first of all I am SOARING LIKE A PAPER AIRPLANE SO READY TO WATCH THIS VIDEO. second of all, I am absolutely obsessed with the latest YouTube video besties and HAD to come on here to express my fathomings of New Romantics as another superior honorable mention since we’ve been red lips deep in 1989 era. small preface, Clean is literally my FAVORITE Taylor swift song of all time and if it has no stans than the good lord swift has taken me to her reputation grave; it is still the superior 1989 closer and it would’ve been in my top 2 on this list ABSOLUTELY!! moving on from that rant, New Romantics so superiorly touches on Taylor’s view of the modern era of on and off dating, her relationship with the media, AND has a New York energy poppy energy that completely embodies 1989. She says in the song, “the lights and boys are blinding,” which perfectly ties back to WTNY where she says “the lights are so bright but they never blind me,” symbolizing her growth and perspective on being in the spotlight, which perfectly leads into reputation!! so sorry for the rant, just could not get this song out of my head (new romantics defender til my last day lmao)! anyways HAPPY NEW YEAR and can’t wait to watch this BESTIES I LOVE YOU

Filippa

I haven't really thought about the fact that she is litteraly jumping off a cliff...."I think about jumping off of very tall somethings, just to see you come running, and say the one thing I've been wanting, but no"

Jenny M

You girls couldn't help sneaking one more video before the new year, thank you so much and happy new year to you two wonderful ladies.

Lauren Levitt

Wait don’t we already have the Grammy museum break down in the C&R YouTube grammy video?

Farrell Peka

Omg. Wolf woman is actually one of the funniest things I think Emily has ever said 🤣🤣

luna magna

The lightning in the mud scenes could also reference the flashing lights as they were getting photographed. ILLEGAL

Inigo joaquin

PLEASE DO A MEET AND GREET AND NEW ZEALAND IT WOULD BE SOOOO ILLEGALLL

GIE

Hear me out... OOTW is Tayor Swift best music video ever. This is what I will show to people who never seen a taylor MV and I will gladly explain every symbolism and scenes of this video.

Jaimie C

this is messing me up so much 15 min in - the blue dress connections! AH!! LWYMMD mv, KARMA mv (lying on her cat in a blue dress, like lying on snow), the blue dress she wore to the ERAS MOVIE premiere with holes cut out like how the wolves are tearing at her dress, and ofc 'blue dress on a boat' Is It Over Now? help!

💯

Just fathomed: she trips when going to throw the necklace off the cliff, this is her struggling to get rid of the relationship while trying to keep some of the toxic (the wolves behind her ) parts. Its only when she fully commits to not caring (her leaping) - about her looks (her dress getting wrecked) and breaking through each barrier - that she becomes her best self and is clean. Edit: maybe not cause the wolves are with her at the ens?

Kristin

“She is Wolf Woman” has me on the floor! Hahaha, thank you for a much-needed laugh! 🫶

Cecilia S

can't wait to watch this!! i love this mv so much, the editing and visusal effects are CRAZY, this and wildest dreams video are just superioooor, also ootw one of my fav songs of hers so

Ciara

How did I not know an ootd mv existed until now? What in the mandala effect is this? Legit thought you guys were reacting to a brand new release!

Jenny MacRunnel

YES! OOTW is my fave TS MV. I'm so glad you guys to to fathom! I just love the visuals, its so cinematic and really goes well with the song! And actually this corresponds well with Treacherous. She knew there was going to be all kinds of danger when she started this relationship, this is the metaphorical visual representation of that!

Jenny MacRunnel

They mentioned it in the beginning of the video. They were going to do The Grammy Museum, but they can short on time, and didn't think they were dressed right for Bad Blood of Wildest Dreams.

GIE

The way that she jump off the cliff in this video!!!!! It’s reference to i think about Jumping off of very tall somethings…

Annika

There are actually more easter eggs in this! When she’s like a a tree the branches say H.S. 👀 love this video! Also in the fire/snow/… scenes towards the end she is on the ground and she gets up in every shot - just like the many times in rl

Vivi

I wonder if yall would both consider doing reactions to Taylor swift shows not necessarily her shows just shows she have promoted or Taylor nation They are deeply offensive they have Taylor swift music in them more than 1 episode and I would love y’all’s reaction ik shows are a bit more but just when theres a stop or break :)

Jaimie C

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2023 has been AMAZING! and much of it has to do with you, Bonny & Emily! You have blessed us with so much, bring us so much joy, and created such a beautiful community. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🎆✨🎉😇😇💕

Elizabeth Drake

This is my FAVORITE music video, so excited! The imagery is superior!!

Eirini

Am I the only one thinking of I know places when seeing the wolves’ scenes? Idk what it is, the insinuation that she is hunted and then the lightning like flashing lights etc, that’s always what I thought when watching this

Sarah

This might blow your mind (it did for me!) but the lyric is actually "the lights and NOISE are blinding" not boys. I've always heard it as boys but I learnt from Ally Sheehan's 1989 vid that it's noise. Whoa!

Stephanie Orman

Came here to make sure someone noticed this!!

Laura Stimpfl

I think she's tamed the wolves at the end (=coming to terms with the toxic parts and the pain?), so your ideas definitely make sense!

Mex

so much stunning imagery in this video. definitely makes me want to visit New Zealand! this was a great surprise as we approach the new year. thank you for being your silly chicken selves in this video - i laughed so many times! i hope you both understand how deeply connected we feel to you because you are so genuinely yourselves in the Patreon videos. love to you both and i can't wait for the 2024 content! happy new year!

chatsandreacts

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS COMMENT AND FATHOMING OMG!!!! No Ava this is soooo true and honestly i was dying not putting new romantics in the bonus mentions so thank you so much for doing that here, it also just wraps up her experience in dating Harry and in this era SO perfectly like WTF how is this song even this good?! very alarming!

Katie

“I have to meet a friend later” in the BTS video 👀 now I’m imagining Taylor and Lorde casually catching up in NZ after filming the most iconic music video ever!

ella.pxner

When she was in the water and in the next moment on dry land, with the cracks in the floor, it reminds me of ,,the drought was the very worst“.

sofie sandrini

The wolves being there could symbolize, as well, a song from One Direction’s OFFENSIVE album ‘Made In The A.M.’ where they have a track called ‘Wolves.’ Their album was released Nov 2nd and OOTW MV was released Jan 1st When she throws the necklace I feel like we see her regretting it and trying to catch it back - like her relationship going in circle/back and forth. And then she maybe is trying to be the airplane when she jumps off the cliff - trying to be something she’s not and only end up damaging herself for the sake of the relationship. Also not her lyric, “…I think about jumping off a VERY TALL SOMETHING” !!!! HELP !!!! The tree taking over her and bringing her down is the anxiety as we know the wood represents. Along with the bull of lights being symbolic of her memories from the relationship (after so many light references in 1989-songs and MV’s) AND then the tree (anxiety) is taking her back into the different environments (stages of their relationships) making her anxiety and confussion - of which environment their in = where they stand as a couple - more visually explained than ever. Her head is exploding. Her dress shortening and we see more skin, could be the wolves and the nature of the woods (her head and the relationship) taking some of her innocence. Or the dress symbolizes getting rid of the weight of the relationship, her feeling less. Which makes it easier for her to Run to herself. I am really fathoming WOW lastly, SHE FELL 13 TIMES *cardiac arrest*

Alison

I'm so glad we're still talking about the city/beach aesthetic because I think she just pushed towards "NYC" theme because it was so distinctly different from her country past. She really wanted to completely change with 1989. She wrote "this love" first for 1989 (I believe) and it very on theme for beach/ocean/tides/etc. I just think she wanted to distance her self from "small town country" to transition to like the City lifestyle. NYC is also the perfect place to launch, promote, perform an album. None of the 1989 music videos really give me "city" vibes, Bad blood is more spy/action flick. Even the album artwork is on the ferry. It's possible she escaped the city (Let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowds) and was spending coastal time with HS. There are beaches in and very near to NYC. (PS she references wildest dreams in this love too) Love to you both, thanks for reading!

Alison

Definitely! The public eye was one part of the struggles they faced as a couple. To run with the wolves - to get in touch with one's more wild and carefree side. you are allowing yourself unbridled freedom. There is a shot at the end where she is standing in front of the wolves, has the vines around her, but she's not running or anything, it's towards the end of the video (3:37) and I think it represents her getting through those struggles and being able to overcome/manage them. She lost him but she found herself. I think that fits in as well.

Emma

Nooooooo I just had the most offensive fucking fathom!!! Taylor having been through all that and the visual of then finding herself and putting her hand on her own shoulder and the words following is “she lost him but she found herself And somehow that was everything” is sooo giving “You’re on your own kid, Yeah you CAN face this, You’re on your own kid, You ALWAYS have been” Like it’s giving it soooo much like that’s the message/concept she’s giving herself there

Kate Aschoff

truly being in nz and aware she was in the country to film....like that was too much for my teenage mind... and yes you both should come here it is a beaut place!!!

Breejmc

Emily had me dying around the 20 minute mark 😂 okay so in reference to the curiosity around all the beach visuals, think of where they were on their last trip together! Blue dress on a boat leashing the British Virgin Islands 🥲 This was a fun watch. Happy New Years, ladies! 💗

Emma

I needed this last video and interaction with the community so much🥹🥰❤️ looking forward to 2024, a new full year worth of content from u guys❤️ and in 2024 I’m seeing Taylor😭😭🥺🥹 and probably both rep and debut will be hers again and we will get her version and more to the story😭😭😭

Emma

And thank you all here for the community we’re building and having❤️ it means a lot❤️

Tess7

One more video?? Yes! I love the OOTW video. The visuals are so cool. For Taylor’s Version, the lyric video featured 2 wolves running in it too. Also, the lights flashing. The lyric videos were really done well for the re-records. Happy new year everyone! Thank you Bon and Em for a 2023 full of fun and fathomings 😃❤️

Isabelle Gatapia

why does this make me think SOTB and OOTW have more in common....

Jen Mays

It's so interesting how much she uses the tree/vine imagery to represent both the positives and negatives of a relationship---on the one hand it's comforting and protective, but on the other it's restrictive and binding and holds you back from moving on. In Wonderland, she feels the arms twisting around her (like vines), in ivy she implores him to stop putting down his roots because the ivy (he) is overgrowing and what was once making her home so charming is now smothering her. It's this constant back and forth of her safe hiding places becoming the places she needs to hide from.

Lily Logan

Alsooooo her jumping from the cliff like “I think about jumping off of very tall somethings” ??? Concerning connection

anna

wait her jumping off of the cliff... is it over now reference? thinking about jumping off of very tall somethings

karisa

just wanted to say finding you guys and this deeper community this year has truly changed my life i could never thank bonny nd emily nd everyone here enough thank you guys for being an example to me of endless love this year 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Mia Morgan

I did not like OOTW when 1989 came out but it has grown on me so much with age 🩵

Lex

I think there are a lot of parallels between this video a few of her songs. For instance, like many have pointed out, “I think about jumping off of very tall somethings” but also “my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand” from ivy and “whether weather be the frost or the violence of the dog days, all my waves are being tossed is there a line that I can just go cross” of of evermore

Laura R

I've always felt like Wildest Dreams was visually stunning, but, conceptually and visually, OOTW and Blank Space are my favorites from this era. Also, in hindsight. . . is she walking BAREFOOT IN THE WILDEST WINTER?

jillystein69

Ok if em is jack Antonoff in another life, bon is Aaron desner in another life. Match made in heaven ❤️

Daisy

a couple things… fun fact a guy that i used to go to school with, his dog was LITERALLY IN THE MUSIC VIDEO AS ONE OF THE WOLVES!!!! so that basically means i’m a dog and a person away from taylor…. secondly YES PLEASE come to new zealand. begging you. please!! love you both 💗

Richard

Happy New Year from Canada.

Lisa

The beach is Bethalls Beach in New Zealand. You guys gotta go there, 45 min drive from Auckland. So beautiful 🩵

sharon teles

the scene of her jumping reminded me of "I think about jumpin' off of very tall somethings"

Cara M

Is Taylor Swift being a tree similar imagery to Taylor Swift being a gold goddess statue in Karma?

• Sammy 🐍🖤 •

I’m sorrrrry but the OOTW - LWYMMD connection! STOPPPPPP!!! That’s a lot for you to sayyyy! 💀

Noemi

Girls I really want to write down what I have always thought. The first time I came across your channel was when the folklore reaction came out and I was captivated by you but my first instinct was to say "my god, they are so loud and they scream so much, I don't know how to feel about it" and I left the video halfway through it, but then I kept thinking about you and YouTube kept suggesting the video so I ended up watching all and few hours after that I was binging every video of yours. I finally see what it was: the ick I initially felt was our society telling us that we cannot be excited, that we are girls and we cannot be loud and we cannot scream out of pure joy and excitement but suddenly when men do the same in a stadium and they scream out of rage and they're violent that's ok. This is so sick and I feel ill at myself for letting this stupid way of thinking misjudging you at first and I would like to apologize to myself as well cause I have always been very enthusiastic and loud when it came to things and people I love, I always screech at things I love 😂 and I suppress that for so long but even because you now I am very loud and proud when I like something. I really love your girls and appreciate you a lot. Thank you for your genuine happiness and excitement, it's a blessing.

Aggi78

I don´t know if anyone said this before, but did you realize that the branches coming out of the sand in the very beginning form the words "out of the woods"? I only realized it when i watched another reactor see it, and i have watched the video so much until that time :) Edit: Ok, now i have watched the rest of the video and you did mention it :)

Lisa

Girls! I had such a big fathoming about the OOTW music video!: This MV loops from the end to the beginning, which is part of the story, but I only just recently fathomed that it is PART OF THE STORY… Like, the relationship/album story IS a loop. Constantly getting back together, even when they know it won’t last, they keep doing it anyway and keep on running into the same problems. “Watch us go ‘round and ‘round each time” in Style is a great example of this, but it’s also a theme in the entire album, relationship and the era because the Blank Space MV loops too.😱 AND (and this is where I lost my mind) with the new vault tracks added, the album loops as well. It ends with IION?, which is a question, but it sort of ends the album with a conclusion with the lyrics “I was hoping you’d be there and say the one thing I’ve been wanting, but NO”, so you think that that is the end and it is now definitively over. BUT, when you put the album on a loop, it then goes to WTNY. So, it ends with what you think is the conclusion, but you then go back to “Welcome”, so it all starts again… WHICH IS WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP WAS!!!!!😱🤯 The OOTW MV does kind of the same thing because it ends with a conclusion with the lines “She lost him, but she found herself. And somehow that was everything.”, but the story of the MV is still a loop, so it mirrors the album! I’m so fucked up.😂

alex

That’s a lot for you to say 🫨

alex

So many fathomings in this one but I came to point out that beautiful thumbnail 🥹

Léa

I LOVE the little videos you put on Insta!! So offensive 🤌🏻 Love you besties, happy New Year !!

Robert Thompson

Sort of odd to me that you didn't think of that song (IDWLF) as hers; since the video is hosted on her channel, and TaylorSwiftVevo. The vocal lines with the high chorus also just seems to scream "Swift" to me. 🤷🏻

Robert Thompson

Your discussion of the beach, and the water etc reminds me also of the photo of her in the boat, alone, in a blue dress.

Robert Thompson

diving off the cliff? could link to This is me trying?

Georgi Varavko

i'm sorry but the i know places connection with the wolves and Taylor being chased by them... thank You are the best!!!111!!!!111!1!

Marie-France C. Lombardo

Not me just figuring out why the dress in the video is a blue one. „Blue dress, on s boat“. DUH!

Sivan Moshe

heyyy suggestion for a video - reacting to the New Heights episode with Kylie Kelce (from Septmber) and to the new Kelce family episode from yesterday ❤️

Julieta

“Ohhh get clean doll” hahahahahaha so fuckin’ funny. Emily you usually make me laugh but in this video you made me laugh a lot

Lively_Ash

Please tell me you’re going to do a reaction to all the Grammy museum stuff especially when she’s sitting in that big chair breaking down the album.!!!!

Moonlit Nomad

this is one of THE BEST taylor music videos, how could you possibly not remember?? 😭

Laura Bolanos

Orrrr “I think about jumping off of very tall somethings!” 🥹😭

Patrick B

The OOTW music video is my favorite film.

Katy Magner

That moment when she landed back on dry land gave me desert and drought, so maybe they got back together for a short moment but he gave her nothing to keep the environment/relationship alive and lush

Laura Bolanos

Excuse me Lex you just fucked me up with the evermore reference 😭😭😭

Katy Magner

I love how Bonny says wolf… how could you guys get any cuter! This year was the year I met you in San Fran. Thanks to you two ladies and Taylor, I managed to have an incredible year despite losing my mom in May. Between Taylor giving me life support with nonstop excitement and distractions and you two being the shoulders I cry on and who I come to to really embrace my Taylor psychosis 😂 I definitely would’ve fallen apart without you. So thank you so much for your warmth and kindness and constant laughter and fathomings. I love you both to the moon and Saturn! 🪐 ❤️ 🌕

j🪩

AHHHH my fav 1989 mv 😍😍😍 and im soooo excited for the Grammy museum vid !!!!!!!

j🪩

thank u girls sooooooo much for all the amazing content this year, happy new year loves 💓✨

Joe Weaver

Right. Sometimes it's dangerous to comment before you watch cause the answers are inside.

Joe Weaver

Yep, I learned that from Ally's video too!

Joe Weaver

Discord needs better functions so you can reply to a reply...bleh.

Joe Weaver

Hi fellow straight guy Swiftie! 😂

Joe Weaver

I love how she becomes Wolf Queen. I watched all of these videos one after another and not sure I processed any of it. So these videos are so great.

Joe Weaver

Also, if anyone cares about such info...my goofy brain needed to know how much Chats & Reacts content we got in 2023. 192 videos that go for a little more 6 days worth of time. It's like 147 hours and change. I think I've watched maybe 140 hours of it. There's a couple I missed. Still, so much joy from it all.

Marietta Sophie

omg when she was lying on the ground in that drought scene it's giving clean!! "The drought was the very worst"

Nikki Trebels

How she splashes from the water on dry land => THE DROUGHT WAS THE VERY WORST in Clean!!!!

Shona Marks

I absolutely LOVE the Out of the Woods video... especially since it was filmed 🎥 in New Zealand 🇳🇿 😍

BrooklynSwifty

Thanks, Joe, for always bringing the statistics!!

Yasmin

omggg please come to NZ!!

F1Swiftie

FYI Emily your hair has grown into its cuteness! I am loving it.

Leijette Riopel

I always love the sequence toward the end of this video of her falling and landing on the ground in the various settings in rapid succession - in the water, the desert, the mud, the burning forest, the sand, the snow. It was such a strong way to communicate the repetitive pattern of this relationship. They would try again thinking they were in a new, better situation, that things were improving, and every time she would find herself back on the ground. I also think the inclusion of the desert scene was maybe meant to be a callback to her waking up on the ground in a similar scene in the “I knew you were trouble” music video. Also, I love the paper airplane necklace reference in this video, but what I have always noticed about it was that yes, initially she seems angry and rips it off her neck to fling it away over the cliff, but then immediately afterward she is reaching out over the cliff as if she regretted throwing it, and is desperately trying to get it back, even at the risk of throwing herself over the edge of that cliff. I think this is probably my favorite Taylor Swift video. E & B pointing out that all the videos in the 1989 era seem to have this theme of circling back to where they began blew my mind a bit. Love to follow along with the fathoming!

Joe Weaver

It's a sickness I have. I just hope some people enjoy it.

Belle Murray

This is not related to Out of the Woods at all but I had a thought today that I absolutely have to request... I've been going back and watching your old album breakdown videos and doing some refathoming. Lover is my favorite album, and it was also your first video, I feel like it would be so fun for you two to re-film a Lover breakdown for a channel anniversary or something! Especially knowing more about the breakdown of her and Joe's relationship... it would be so interesting to hear your retrospective thoughts on those songs now. Okay, that's it, love you both - thanks for an INCREDIBLE year of Swiftie celebration 🥰💖

Erin Corey

This music video changed my life and healed me after a breakup

Claudia

Also, her jumping "I think about jumping from a very talk something" 😱

AJay394

Absolutely loved this fathoming!! So many connections - I thought of another one for Now That We Don't Talk. When she walks towards the big tree and it turns to winter as soon as she reaches it (middle of the video), that so makes me think of "Remind myself the more I gave, you'd want me less". Him becoming cold/distant when she tried to get close 😱

Ally ❤️

Same with folklore & evermore

Ally ❤️

The beach is very LA/SoCal and that is where some of Haylor played out.

Ally ❤️

Bare feet - unprotected; barefoot in the wildest winter?

Haley Haas

How did I never piece together “in the clear” to “clear blue water” which makes her clean 🤯

Sarah (not in her sunday best)

You guys are the cutest. I love how y’all thought the deer was a goat in blank space and Bonny thought the wolf was a fox in this. 😅

Becca

I would love for you guys to react to Chappell Roan!!! I think you would love

Evb223

‘Get clean darl!’ 😂😂 the best Emily

Can

Love the loop fathoming! I totally missed it! Watch us go round and round each time 🩵✨

Enzo Reis

Also the scene where she's on the cliff could be a paralell to Is It Over Now? When she says: "I think about jumping of very tall somethings just to see you come running, but no." Like she jumps thinking he would return, but he doesn't so everything gets dry. And the second time she's in the water you can see that there are fish in there, which could mean that she is really starting to clean up. Because in the emptiness of the sea begins to be life. And she realizes that she didn't want to jump for him but for the fact that she hadn't dealt with his absence yet.

Juliana Martinez

i was just coming to comment the exact same thing about the jumping off the cliff to IION!!

James Cameron

no but i honestly feel like that ocean to desert clip is a reference to ‘when i was drowning that’s when i could finally breathe’ and that’s everything🩵

Saarz23

right at the start the words read she lost him. reminds me of the Getaway Car poem. She lost him, but she found herself. the dry lake in the Out Of The Woods music video is very similar to the dry like used in the Getaway Car visuals of the Reputation stadium tour

Saarz23

Bonny and Emily i would love for you both to react to Ethel Cain’s album Preachers Daughter 🤎

Saarz23

i love how taylor has been directing her own music videos. but i think going forward she needs to not direct them all. Because it’s important to have other directors work on her art to interpret it in different ways and then have Taylor input a little bit. As I feel like the videos such as Out Of The Woods are epic. And I don’t think that’s all Taylors doing. I think it’s other directors. That’s what their expertise is in. I’m hoping going forward she will let others direct. all of the videos will be the same feel

Marla April

Not Bonnie calling Taylor a beached whale 🐳 😂

Lin Gill

Still loving your 1989 era Taylor Swift reactions. I'm looking forward to your Grammy museum reactions, especially her iconic performance of Wildest Dreams on the electric guitar. Happy holidays!

Esther Newman

The way she tells us the story of her and Harry's relationship in this video through the nature/weather imagery (which we now know more of thanks to the 1989 TV vault). Entering the woods = the initial anxieties about the relationship; chased by wolves = hunted by the paps and vicious trolls/1D fans; falling in the snow = ski trip and snow mobile accident; pulling off the necklace = the breakup on holiday and leaving on the boat; jumping into the water = trying to get clean; the desert = the 'drought' in their relationship, 'the flowers that they grew together dying of thirst'. The icy/snowy scene freezing her = him going cold on her? Or her frozen by this relationship? ('did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen? Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it, she's still 23 inside her fantasy...'). The crawling through mud scene with the storm = them getting back together (Style music video parallels)? Or her literally stuck in the mud, unable to get over him? The forest fire = her eventually burning down the relationship and setting herself free ... All for her eventually become one with these landscapes and each type of nature; to master her anxieties (the trees, the wolves) and to walk through them battered and bruised (torn up dress) but ultimately unscathed. Just stronger for it. Genius, this is definitely her best music video yet!

Sara Brannon

I wish they would’ve talked about the dogs in the behind-the-scenes video! I feel like it would be so fun to have dogs on the set

LadyQ

Remember, she was holding the necklace in her hands in the Style video!

Swiftie_mixer

I love you two girls, and I mean this with love, but you guys both pronounciating "wolf" as "woff" has me rolling 🤣🐺

Sarah Louise

Sorry if this has been mentioned above, but when she jumped off the cliff, the lyric ‘I feel like jumping off of very tall somethings just to make you come running’…. leapt into my mind.

Daniel Youngelman

I also need to say that the blue dress gets more and more ripped to shreds and shorter by the end because the wolves are tearing at it throughout. It’s like withering away in a way. INSANE INSANE INSANE

Alicia Bowie

I will never forgive her for coming to NZ to film this video but not bringing the 1989 tour here !!!!

Kristy

When IDWLF came out I remember I was SO excited for a new Taylor song. It felt like it had been forever since we heard from her and I remember feeling like it came out of nowhere. It was a light rain in a drought 😭

T

The Golden Globes are going to be interesting to watch this year!!! Emma stone will be there hopefully taylor can sit with her and LEO DIcaprio is gonna be there..... I wonder if taylor and him will have words🤭

Jennifer Nolan

Blue dress on a boat...there are typically beaches where you dock boats?

Kate Anderson

I remember thinking how RUDE that she filmed this here in NZ but didn't bring the 1989 tour here!!!!!!

Zoe Halbert

I feel like she centered 1989 around the beach because she is finally out of the woods in terms of her career and feeling free to make music the way she wants.

begttt

are up to reacting to some ariana grande music? she is releasing new music soon so it could be a good opportunity (i highly recommend 'thank u, next' the album.

Jenna

the australian accent is incredible, it sounds like they're saying "look at those woofs" for the wolves 😂

Staci DaSilva

Anybody else screaming - you missed the HS written on her hand!!!

Stephanie Marie

The cliff being the very tall something she throws herself off.

Jessie

they MISSED the HS on her wristtttttttt noooooooo

Jessie

she really did think about jumping off of very tall somethings....

Jennifer Lopez

I can’t believe they filmed with real wolves!? They are the true stars sorry Taylor

Katrina

When you said the video was filmed in New Zealand it made so much sense because there are so many Lord of the Rings inspired scenes lol.

LanaJulie33

Bonny, you keep saying "flashing" so i immediately go to the bridge of Is It Over Now? !!Also, you are both saying some illegal shit about this whole music video!!

ana

wait i just fathomed her JUMPING OFF OF A VERY TALL SOMETHING just to see him come running and say the one thing she's been wanting BUT HE DOESN'T AND SO SHE'S JUST THERE ON DRY LAND like her wanting something from him and him not giving it to her and so she's going through a draught (the same one mentioned in clean) bc she gets nothing from him while she's there literally risking it all 😭

Ora Goldscheider

Jumped off the cliff in to water to be clean Then immediately drout The drout was the very worst

alex

Wow I was actually just going to say the same thing! I immediately started singing clean at that drought scene 😅

Mary Cousins

This is her best video, so many references to the elements and nature and the ending makes me cry 🩵

Brittany Fitzgerald

They were on an island when she left alone on the boat. That’s where they kind of ended for the most part I think.

The "flashing lights" part reminds me of the lyric in Wonderland

Jordan Bush

I haven’t seen this said yet, the lighting in the mud reminds of the lyrics in is it over now. “Did you think I didn’t see there were flashing lights.” And “parts the crowd like the Red Sea” and she’s crawling through the mud while he makes it out easily. Also fathoming in slut where she says “I’ll pay the price you won’t.”

I thought I was the only one who was convinced SOTB was about HS. “Aurora Borealis Green”… hello?!

Amy Versprille

The trees that rise from the sand spell out Out of the woods

Breezy Bumbles

I think about jumping off of very tall somethings…..jumping off a cliff in Out Of The Woods???

Bethany Andrews

I'm seeing so many connections from folklore back to this music video! Her in the ocean in cardigan, the lyric in hoax "stand on the cliff side screaming give me a reason", of course the general "woods" imagery.
