Storyline
The video takes place in Paris. It starts out with Taylor standing on a bridge, gazing over the Seine. She walks along the river. In between, there are shots of Taylor riding a bike, sitting on a rooftop, trying on clothes in a store, sitting at the park and talking to a man. In a café, Taylor is busy writing on a notebook when the man notices her and comes up to her. He sits at her table and introduces himself. He takes pictures of her and they have a fun conversation. At the end of the video, they're seen walking together and smiling at each other.
