“The thing is that this video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was like 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,” she said. “There would be someone, like, cheering, ‘Wooo,’ like from across the studio where we were shooting it, and that one person was my boyfriend, Travis.”

As the crowd applauded Swift, she continued by praising the athlete.

“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic,” she said. “So I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I will always remember that.”
