Taylor Swift’s “New Romantics” video was just released on Vevo this week, and it’s nothing like what her videos usually entail. As we’ve seen in the past, there’s always a gorgeous leading man, an ensemble of fierce backup dancers, or, as we saw in “Bad Blood,” a group of badass hotties that basically defined #squadgoals for life.
But in this video, we saw her take a step back from her usual routine. “New Romantics” actually used footage from her 1989 World Tour. Take a look below:
The video starts off with clips of fans cheering at Taylor’s 1989 world tour, and also captures different performances of her on stage in different cities. It’s surprisingly inspiring, as Taylor voices over, “The fans are the best part of this tour. They’re the reason the shows are incredible.”
Near the end of the video, as she is reminiscing on all of the good times she had while on tour, she adds: “I don’t want to forget anything that happened on this tour,” and that “It was one of those remarkable moments in time when everything felt exciting.” This video is full of memories, laughter, strength, and dedication and it serves as a reminder for Tay of all of the joy that the 1989 World Tour brought her. Her tour may have ended with its final performance last year, but she will never forget the breathtaking experiences she had while performing and touring the world.
Taylor is set to take the stage again this coming October to headline the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix races in Austin, Texas.
