"Cut! That's a wrap on Taylor Swift!" *Taylor actually wearing a blanket wrap* ..................................................... *Silently dies of laughter* 😂😂
Hi guys, I released a song myself to make my lockdown productive like Queen Taylor has made hers. I really put my heart and soul into it, so it would really make my day if you could check it out once.
Shit, I didn’t even think of that. I had thought, “oh, yeah, we all get hangry at times, I hear you on that one!” But I didn’t even think for a second that’s what she was talking about, because she’s the sort of person who would say that she was hungry if she was, but it really didn’t strike me that *that* was the reason why she’d be hungry. I’m so glad she’s in a far healthier and happier place now…!
The interview for vogue where she said "if calories didnt count" , I always found that odd that she said but after miss americana is hurts so much more
Very hardworking person. She puts passion and effort on everything she does: from writing the songs, composing, recording, filming the video... No wonder why she doesn't want her works on Spotify.
A girl has no name couldn’t agree more and i will never understand why people trashing her for that, like even Beyoncé didn’t put all of her discographies on all major streaming services until now.
ever since Miss Americana when I see pictures or videos of her from this time in her life all I can think about is her eating disorder and it makes me so sad because she's so beautiful. but I'm so happy she's doing better now. does anyone else think of this or is it just me.
I think about it whenever she mentions eating like here and in the interview for vogue, like she tried to tell people but wasnt aware of how bad it was
I thought that a lot of the video was done with green screen. I am so happy and impressed that it's not. Out of the Woods has to be one of my all time fave music videos; it's so beautiful and mesmerising.
I feel like nobody! nobody! in the fucking world acknowledges how hard this woman has worked to get where she is. Everyone is trying to tear her apart with all those sexist bullshit and here she is showing proof that she is not just successful because of high profile relationships but because she tried her fucking ass off to work for what she has now. Leave Taylor alone.
Vla-D What's your problem? Look if you don't like her, feel free to do so. Don't come here and try to justify your opinion as correct and mine as not. If you don't think she is successful for her art, okay thats your independent opinion. As I am respecting yours, respect the postive opinions of Taylor's fans and leave us and Taylor alone. Thanks, bye.
Sue Allie that fucking cringy/edgy paragraph ''respect the postive opinions of taylors fans and leave us'' excuse me bitch but i dont really like taylor swift you said she's successful by making a video of her falling but tbh whats more edgy than taylor are the fans who should take pills from depression
i thought.. taylor was a bossy grouchy lady.. but this video changed my mind.. now i know taylor is not bossy or grouchy, she is basicly a fun and normal entertaining girl that most people didnt know about. congrats taylor, this has been the best mv you have made all 2016
I’m glad you’ve gotten to know the real Taylor. She’s one of the sweetest people and works hard on everything she does. She doesn’t deserve any of the hate people give her.
Taylor behind the scenes is such a great, smart and caring person with so much humor! She really is one of the best people on the Earth, and everyone who loves her and appreciates all the things she has to do in order for us to be entertained really know why she's this amazing. We love you Taylor and we always will, no matter what! We're lucky to be living in the Taylor Swift era.
they're probably wolf dogs or malamutes tbh wrong build for huskies but I've seen strong bred wolf dogs on set for movies and stuff filmed here all the time
I'm not regretting being a fan for like 8 years now. Might not be with you since the beginning but I plan to stay till the end ❤😢 she deserves appreciation for her efforts not diss and all the nasty things said to her.
+Fiona Li just btw, they dont show pictures of the bad parts like polluted rivers and litter and that, it's just like other countries in the civilisation aspects - but smaller population; except it also has the extras in a small area.
+Tommy Ong yes it does. It's just like every other country where some cities have different weathers. It sure doesn't snow in Auckland though, but most of the pretty looking places that people want to visit aren't in Auckland anyway lol
I'm not part of his fandom but I love how she put so much effort in all she does, I watched the behind the scenes of her tour and she decided everything clothes, how they're going to dance, the scenography, in her album I love the thematic she put on, like Polaroid thing, the design of the CD everything, and the music videos are awesome, the songs are so good, she deserves all the awards she wins all of this is worth it
My dad was working with her on the video becuase we live in new zealand you can see him in the video she was shooting on bethals beach by my old house thats so cool!!!!
Cool. Especially for me, as a word nerd , to hear Taylor Swift use the word "bedraggled" in exactly the right way. I want to give a few of my thoughts on the symbolism of the images in the video. Well... more than a few : ) 1. Tendrils at the beach: Swift is shown looking outward to sea, which is a classic symbol of anticipation and longing. In the old days, wives waited for their sailor husbands to return by looking out for far off ships. Swift's character is thinking about the future, and remembering the past at the same time. As soon as the thorny vines come up, we are entering a memory of the past, bust since it is the beginning of the video, the dark and threatening vines function as foreshadowing. They are an unwanted intrusion into the previously uncluttered scene. They symbolize worry invading paradise- a peaceful mind being disturbed by the outside world. 2. Wolves: Voracious predators chasing a lone prey. It is very significant that although the song involves 2 people, the video has only 1. This is not a literal enactment of the song's narrative. If it were, we would see some dreamy guy fleeing along with Swift. The series of images and scenes metaphorically show her thoughts and feelings- emphasizing her isolation and inner turmoil. We don't see a cut to a couple pushing aside the furniture and dancing as a flashback. This whole video is a metaphorical flashback, like a dream. The wolves are symbols of all the troublesome thoughts that come from outside the dream world. Of course you could make it simple and just think of them as paparazzi, but we're trying to stay highbrow here ! It's worth noting that the wolf tears Swift's dress, but does not actually bite into her. That suggests that the danger is being stripped of protection, being made vulnerable and having your private nakedness exposed to the world. Not having the wolves actually bite her helps maintain the sense of being in a dream that is not quite a pure nightmare. The dream is primarily about struggle, not about victimization. The wolves are from the "rest of the world" which is "black and white," (here they are very dark greens and browns) - while Swift's vivid blue dress and skin are in "screaming color." All of a sudden she is on a cliff, pauses, throws her necklace into the sea, and dives in soon after. You could say she's following her heart- if you want to get that literal and cheesy. I'd rather not, but YOU could. The fact that the leap occurs just as she sings "two paper airplanes flying" is much more satisfying to think about, IMO. It's not a cliche'. It's a symbol of daring and impermanence. She has to make the choice between jumping into the unknown, or being consumed by fear. If we're going to relate this back to the real world, it might be that she's afraid of what other people will say, or future emotional pain- but that standing still is not a way to avoid it. Luckily, most jumps off a cliff in dreams aren't fatal. Here she gets teleported to a beach. Isn't that conveeeeeenient :) This could be an interlude of peace, as in the dancing "like we stood a chance." 3. Muddy swamp: Unfortunately, freedom and peace- even in love- don't last forever. Apparently that is especially true for Taylor Swift (snark snark). So the beautiful world turns into muck, and the dance has become a slog. The problems return. People are talking about her behind her back, maybe her parents don't approve or her friends aren't very supportive. She's striving, reaching out towards the sky- (escape to a pure and maximally free space)- but the thorny vines burst up and keep her down on earth, even though she seems to be transported to a peaceful state of mind by the memory "You were looking at me." For a moment, the vines stop constricting her, and she is magically cleaned of most of the mud. Then painful reality then imposes itself again in the dream, and even when she breaks out of the constricting thorns, she falls down repeatedly. This is sort of like being "made to fall apart, then fall back together." We see a series of alternating fire and ice, which is much like passion interspersed with distance and separation- as in an on-again-off-again or long distance relationship. But at the end, the wolves are standing still. Somehow she has gained a power to keep them from attacking. The power is mental, since she is turned away from them- not facing them and holding them at bay by breathing fire at them or something. That is one way they could go in future videos- SUPER POWERS. She's already broken through a concrete wall in "Bad Blood" with her (95 pound?) body- why not laser vision or something? If you're going to get revenge on a guy who was a jerk to you, wouldn't lasers and fire be an awesome way to go about it? Maybe just wait for them until the walk right in front of all the red carpet photographers and then just evaporate all their clothes. "Ha Ha. He's so....scrawny." 4. Hand on shoulder: The Swift who has been through the woods- and danger/torment- lays a hand on the shoulder of her past self- the Swift we saw at the beginning. Presumably this is like an attempt to reassure her past self that she will get through her trials and come out OK on the other side. But the cyclical nature of time in the video suggests the cyclical nature of memory- we keep replaying the past over and over in our heads as a way to try to make sense of it and learn from it. But each time we have to remember the pain as well as the joy. We try to use our painful experiences as a way to "find our self," and hopefully not make the same mistakes or be exposed to the same fears again. -------------- Like my theories? Cool. But if you don't agree with something I said, please feel free to say so in the replies. Thanks for reading !
i cant BELIEVE how she felt doing this well, she did it for her fans and she was cold, and she crawled in mud for us to enjoy. i know what crawling in mud feels like it is not fun and it is FREEZING cold and she did it for us. And also people stop bulling her she made a new album just to show us how she feels about how people are giving her a bad reputation PLEASE STOP she is a nice person
and people say she's not hard working ? ....she puts the "most" effort in everything and this is why she is here where she is winning grammys and oscars etc so much effort , only taylor can freeze to death and still make it look professional ..go girl
I hate how people say shit about her I love her she is a beautiful and hardworking You don't have to like her just talk shit about her she is an inspiration
Dear Taylor, You're probably not reading this..but, I really love you as a fan!!!! You're an inspiration to me, you're beautiful and an inspiring singer. You're the best and I love ALL your songs!!!!!!! Thank you! 😍
Out of The Woods is an awesome video. Especially when you see the effort that went into it, in this short look at how it was made, you can see why. I love the attention to detail. Similarly a lot went into the live version on the 1989 tour. It was immense in how big the sound was. I'm thinking that there is more to this song than we know.
+FlickBlick Gamez I can't be the only one who has considered what type of song Taylor would write about me if we dated. Of course, a song about me would probably be Taylor screaming "what was I thinking?!?!" for five minutes.
I LITERALLY FREAKED OUT WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY SUBSCRIPTION BOX! Joseph Khan and Taylor have outdone themselves yet again! ❤️❤️❤️ This is more than just a music video, this is art and I'm so glad we get to see how a piece of artistic history was made 😊 IT'S JUST SO MAJESTIC AND SHE'S AMAZING AND THIS IS ALL SO AMAZING.
+Sherlane Yuen haha i feel you. You cant resist it ☺☺. I just know that many of Taylor Songs has hit my childhood and teenage awesome. Just some flashback with my friends. I just wanted to thank taylor for that.😂😂😂
When I think of the theme of this video(she found herself after the struggles) is what I think of when I hear "invisible String". I know she sings about Joe but I always think of her going through pain and not knowing about the inner strength that's followed her in an invisible String in her life
80% of them were actually real, even the underwater one so you should be happy about that Taylor did all those shots for real, only few weren't real because it was nearly impossible to shoot that for real, for example the scene where she was standing at the edge of the cliff and jumps off it those shots are obviously impossible to be done for real...
Shout out to the music video crew who literally put all their time and hearts -- along with taylor -- to make this amazing video. Unlike films, people rarely give the crew credit because the main product is the singer/performers. Just watching this makes me so happy! I applaud the camera men (DP), make-up artists, production designers, Director ect. Well done!
Bonks What was incredible is when Taylor won the the award for best video for Bad Blood she brought Joseph Khan her director up on stage and he was able to thank all the people involved in making the video. Joseph said it was the first time in his career that an artists had brought him up on stage and given him his moment. Sad when you think about all the music videos he has done and awards he has won but he was never publicly thanked until working with TAYLOR. Says so much about why he continues to praise her and fight for her.
I love how she runs to the blanket lol so cute
😆😆
I like to think there’s a dude specifically hired to hold the blanket ready for her to run into after each scene lol

They're just dogs, some prof wolf person explained they're just trained dogs based on their appearances

She's lucky that she can still put out a single from an album that was released over a year ago. Most artists only release one or two singles max.
okay the fact that she went above and beyond to film this music video in New Zealand is incredible. Taylor you are insane ❤
The wolves are cute

+Rudi You don't undertand what Una Fata is saying, she mean who is the actress (No sé si lo dije bien, no hablo ingles)

i mean its herself in the clip but its not taylor actually its a girl

This is like the best songs ever

The best song is New Romantics

I'm 97% sure she found a way into Narnia
okay. but who was the other taylor swift why is no one asking that
dude im confused too
They just did 2 scenes with the same person
Forever AJ what? in 1:07 you could see there's another person in front of her. im asking who that taylor look-a-like is
It's Becky😂
Exactly. When I saw the MV i tought it was just a special effect, but in this video shows that there were actually two "'taylor swift"s
I'm not regretting being a fan for like 8 years now. Might not be with you since the beginning but I plan to stay till the end ❤😢 she deserves appreciation for her efforts not diss and all the nasty things said to her.

"run to the blanket, run to the blanket, run to the blanket, run to the blanket" ~Motivation for Taylor
im so lucky to be living in the time she is living in
Cool. Especially for me, as a word nerd , to hear Taylor Swift use the word "bedraggled" in exactly the right way.
I want to give a few of my thoughts on the symbolism of the images in the video. Well... more than a few : )
1. Tendrils at the beach: Swift is shown looking outward to sea, which is a classic symbol of anticipation and longing. In the old days, wives waited for their sailor husbands to return by looking out for far off ships. Swift's character is thinking about the future, and remembering the past at the same time. As soon as the thorny vines come up, we are entering a memory of the past, bust since it is the beginning of the video, the dark and threatening vines function as foreshadowing. They are an unwanted intrusion into the previously uncluttered scene. They symbolize worry invading paradise- a peaceful mind being disturbed by the outside world.
2. Wolves: Voracious predators chasing a lone prey. It is very significant that although the song involves 2 people, the video has only 1. This is not a literal enactment of the song's narrative. If it were, we would see some dreamy guy fleeing along with Swift. The series of images and scenes metaphorically show her thoughts and feelings- emphasizing her isolation and inner turmoil. We don't see a cut to a couple pushing aside the furniture and dancing as a flashback. This whole video is a metaphorical flashback, like a dream.
The wolves are symbols of all the troublesome thoughts that come from outside the dream world. Of course you could make it simple and just think of them as paparazzi, but we're trying to stay highbrow here ! It's worth noting that the wolf tears Swift's dress, but does not actually bite into her. That suggests that the danger is being stripped of protection, being made vulnerable and having your private nakedness exposed to the world. Not having the wolves actually bite her helps maintain the sense of being in a dream that is not quite a pure nightmare. The dream is primarily about struggle, not about victimization.
The wolves are from the "rest of the world" which is "black and white," (here they are very dark greens and browns) - while Swift's vivid blue dress and skin are in "screaming color."
All of a sudden she is on a cliff, pauses, throws her necklace into the sea, and dives in soon after. You could say she's following her heart- if you want to get that literal and cheesy. I'd rather not, but YOU could. The fact that the leap occurs just as she sings "two paper airplanes flying" is much more satisfying to think about, IMO. It's not a cliche'. It's a symbol of daring and impermanence. She has to make the choice between jumping into the unknown, or being consumed by fear.
If we're going to relate this back to the real world, it might be that she's afraid of what other people will say, or future emotional pain- but that standing still is not a way to avoid it. Luckily, most jumps off a cliff in dreams aren't fatal. Here she gets teleported to a beach. Isn't that conveeeeeenient :) This could be an interlude of peace, as in the dancing "like we stood a chance."
3. Muddy swamp: Unfortunately, freedom and peace- even in love- don't last forever. Apparently that is especially true for Taylor Swift (snark snark). So the beautiful world turns into muck, and the dance has become a slog. The problems return. People are talking about her behind her back, maybe her parents don't approve or her friends aren't very supportive. She's striving, reaching out towards the sky- (escape to a pure and maximally free space)- but the thorny vines burst up and keep her down on earth, even though she seems to be transported to a peaceful state of mind by the memory "You were looking at me." For a moment, the vines stop constricting her, and she is magically cleaned of most of the mud.
Then painful reality then imposes itself again in the dream, and even when she breaks out of the constricting thorns, she falls down repeatedly. This is sort of like being "made to fall apart, then fall back together." We see a series of alternating fire and ice, which is much like passion interspersed with distance and separation- as in an on-again-off-again or long distance relationship.
But at the end, the wolves are standing still. Somehow she has gained a power to keep them from attacking. The power is mental, since she is turned away from them- not facing them and holding them at bay by breathing fire at them or something.
That is one way they could go in future videos- SUPER POWERS. She's already broken through a concrete wall in "Bad Blood" with her (95 pound?) body- why not laser vision or something? If you're going to get revenge on a guy who was a jerk to you, wouldn't lasers and fire be an awesome way to go about it? Maybe just wait for them until the walk right in front of all the red carpet photographers and then just evaporate all their clothes. "Ha Ha. He's so....scrawny."
4. Hand on shoulder: The Swift who has been through the woods- and danger/torment- lays a hand on the shoulder of her past self- the Swift we saw at the beginning. Presumably this is like an attempt to reassure her past self that she will get through her trials and come out OK on the other side. But the cyclical nature of time in the video suggests the cyclical nature of memory- we keep replaying the past over and over in our heads as a way to try to make sense of it and learn from it. But each time we have to remember the pain as well as the joy. We try to use our painful experiences as a way to "find our self," and hopefully not make the same mistakes or be exposed to the same fears again.

i cant BELIEVE how she felt doing this well, she did it for her fans and she was cold, and she crawled in mud for us to enjoy. i know what crawling in mud feels like it is not fun and it is FREEZING cold and she did it for us. And also people stop bulling her she made a new album just to show us how she feels about how people are giving her a bad reputation PLEASE STOP she is a nice person
2:05 that lady is just there, trying to put something in taylor swift's mouth but just can't xD
and people say she's not hard working ? ....she puts the "most" effort in everything and this is why she is here where she is winning grammys and oscars etc
so much effort , only taylor can freeze to death and still make it look professional ..go girl

+ARCJAYPEE 123 SAME
Out of The Woods is an awesome video. Especially when you see the effort that went into it, in this short look at how it was made, you can see why. I love the attention to detail. Similarly a lot went into the live version on the 1989 tour. It was immense in how big the sound was. I'm thinking that there is more to this song than we know.
So... The next award for music video?
:D
Imma let you finish...
But TAYLOR has the best music videos of all time...
Of all time...
+Tanya Verma I doubt it but she has got a lot of nice clips.
Grammy awards for the best music video
Goes to Coldplay
+Tanya Verma Agreed!
Soon she'll be out of the woods❤️
Good one
Cute
are we out of the woods yet?

not everyone has to like taylor swift but everyone should respect her because she is a defining voice of our generation
Joseph Kahn + Taylor Swift make great music videos!
Taylor is just so amazing....*sigh* #goals
+Avery Liss Is hes so amazing then why did she flip off fans?
+TheFigureKing Apparently Taylor is a 'she'
+TheFigureKing Fuck off
Hala Khalid Why? Im trying to tell you that shes mean to fans
+Avery Liss i am amazing too atleast for me...LOL
Most singers would just do a video of them singing the song, with a few different angles, but not Taylor Swift, this is amazing!!
Thumbs up for Taylor swift!
+Sheerlyjellybean Yap
Queen of everything👑😍
she is really cute and so beautiful. Marriage material 100%.
Marriage ain't only about physical beauty
+supersam 11 he may of meant like a cute personality
and when did I say its only about that?
+FlickBlick Gamez I can't be the only one who has considered what type of song Taylor would write about me if we dated.
Of course, a song about me would probably be Taylor screaming "what was I thinking?!?!" for five minutes.
+Randy Couture Yo bro! Thats gangsta bro, real gangsta.Lols. No $hi# talk. Thug life! Have a nice day, mate :-)
i love you taylor swift
❤️❤️
The music video deserves a billion views, she thought of so much and DID so much🥺
This song is one of my favorites she’s made. It’s beautiful and relatable.
anyone else felt bad for that lady who wanted to fix taylors makeup but just got ignored
+Valamien Valaki i did.....I don't know but that was bad...
me
I feel bad for anyone who has to work with TS.
+Maverick Mustaine why?
I thought I was the only one who noticed
When I see how much work she puts in her music, there's no wonder why she is so famous and loved. She deserves it
❤️❤️
Amen to that girl😊
"the best people in life are free" - TAYLOR SWIFT ,ok?

Out of the wood is the MASTERPIECE
Wow. I love the music vid and I wanted to know how they made such beautiful scenes and now I see it! So amazing! And also those dogs were really cute!
Jayla 630 most of its due to New Zealand's beautiful scenery 🇳🇿 ❤️ 😃
Jayla I wanna go to New Zealand 🇳🇿!

I love her so much
She's amazing
yeah
I LITERALLY FREAKED OUT WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY SUBSCRIPTION BOX! Joseph Khan and Taylor have outdone themselves yet again! ❤️❤️❤️ This is more than just a music video, this is art and I'm so glad we get to see how a piece of artistic history was made 😊 IT'S JUST SO MAJESTIC AND SHE'S AMAZING AND THIS IS ALL SO AMAZING.
RIP #TaylorNation we've just gone to heaven
chill down lol
+Matthew Ooi Bor Wern Haha, Sorry! I just find it hard to contain my excitement when it comes to Taylor :)
+Sherlane Yuen All music videos are considered "art".
+Sherlane Yuen haha i feel you. You cant resist it ☺☺. I just know that many of Taylor Songs has hit my childhood and teenage awesome. Just some flashback with my friends. I just wanted to thank taylor for that.😂😂😂
Her creativity,her hardwork,her talent are all clearly visible in her songs.Taylor is just beyond words...
I hope Taylor swift enjoyed new Zealand it's a beautiful country
1:06 wait....who is the second girl?
I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! WHO IS SHE!?
+Jenny i thought it too... but the secong girl has different hair...) and what 1:13? ))
It's just a lookalike probally wearing a wig or something they do that all the time in movies
+Femke Mesman yes, but why there are two taylors? :D
+dicle erdogan your english is awesome! i think i already know :D :)
When I think of the theme of this video(she found herself after the struggles) is what I think of when I hear "invisible String". I know she sings about Joe but I always think of her going through pain and not knowing about the inner strength that's followed her in an invisible String in her life
Makes folklore with trees and woodsy. I love her!
I swear this music video is so underrated
I cant be the only who thought all the scenes were real??
Same
+Mathilde Struck same :(
80% of them were actually real, even the underwater one so you should be happy about that Taylor did all those shots for real, only few weren't real because it was nearly impossible to shoot that for real, for example the scene where she was standing at the edge of the cliff and jumps off it those shots are obviously impossible to be done for real...
yeah, but i think every scene are real :)
+Mathilde Struck Same but I guess you can't blame her.
THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM! ITS A FREAKING ART WORK!
Taylor Swift is so down to earth and talented person she deserves all her success.
4:10 Best.. Pun... EVER!
I'm so early here xdd
I love Taylor
+1 if you love her too ♥

that's awesome how they made this video
ikr
Shout out to the music video crew who literally put all their time and hearts -- along with taylor -- to make this amazing video. Unlike films, people rarely give the crew credit because the main product is the singer/performers. Just watching this makes me so happy! I applaud the camera men (DP), make-up artists, production designers, Director ect. Well done!
Bonks What was incredible is when Taylor won the the award for best video for Bad Blood she brought Joseph Khan her director up on stage and he was able to thank all the people involved in making the video. Joseph said it was the first time in his career that an artists had brought him up on stage and given him his moment. Sad when you think about all the music videos he has done and awards he has won but he was never publicly thanked until working with TAYLOR. Says so much about why he continues to praise her and fight for her.
i love how we stumble here altogether after 7 years
