After thanking the creative team behind the video, Taylor said on stage, "This video seems very sad when you watch it. But it was actually the most fun video to make and something that I'll always remember is that when I would finish a take and I'd say, 'cut,' and we'd be done with that take, I'd always hear someone cheering and [wooing] from across the studio where we were shooting."
