I love taylor… love the song but think the video is soo boring. She needed to actually have a beautiful white horse in it, even though the white horse was just a metaphor

I like the video, but she really can’t sing , so as a radio single I’d give it a C+

I must say, this single and video is the best that Taylor has done. Considering her two singles that I thought were the best were her first two… Taylor is really brilliant in this video and single, yes there are flaws, but flaws are better than her former pop concoctions.

Usually I cringe and just downright disagree with the Taylor Swift reviews on this website, but I think you were spot-on, on this one.

Taylor has definitely matured in this video,and the rain in the window and her crying montage totally make this feel real. She does a lot more acting in this video, and many have compared it to “Tim McGraw”, which I love because I really want Taylor to go back to that kind of feel her songs used to have.

Dan, maybe she’ll release “Breathe” soon ,it explicitly states that the boy didn’t cheat in that song- it’s more grown up.

Overall, I love the song, just like the video. I hope she grows up soon though. This song is a great start.

Sorry, but I notice little things…….she really does a number on her fingernails! They were chewed to the quick. Nothing special about the video or the song. But then again, not a Taylor fan!

I thought her acting could use a lot of help. She just sat there making a ridiculously fake depressed look.

So I hate to admit it, but I actually like this video! I think it’s the best one from Taylor. I think she captures the mood of the song and her acting was actually pretty good, no wonder they put her in CSI! And I had to watch it like 3 times before I finally figured out where I had seen that guy! Laguna Beach was totally a guilty pleasure for me! haha

Great review, Blake!

She’s tagged here as more than a helpless, hapless victim in my opinion. The scene with her girlfriend in the restaurant finds her prattling on so lovey-dovey about her beau, which is shining a harsh light on her naivete. Though he may have started stepping out with another girl, she’s at least partially to blame for the relationship’s demise. This is in sharp contrast to “Picture to Burn,” where she’s calling her ex “gay” and trashing his apartment. A little more emotional maturity (relatively speaking) this time.

The shift in Coletti’s image is key, too; his changes in costume, hairstyle and overall appearance aren’t totally dramatic, but they do highlight the fact that Swift was wearing rose-colored glasses, all too willing to paint a picture in her head of him without realizing the realities that mark any romantic relationship.

I agree with the B from Dan, sorry Blake I thought the review was a little over the top. I am not a huge fan of hers, but was delighted to hear this song, it is very similar to the Taylor music that suits her voice like Tim Mcgraw. The video was good like the Tim one too, so theatrics, but I could go with out the commentaries in it and the actual sound of her crying, I think a bigger statement would have been made without that. Overall best since the Tim vid.
