Taylor Swift Gets Busy In The Bookstacks In Her “The Story Of Us” Video Preview

Leaping lady Taylor Swift continues to roll out her Speak Now singles, and on Tuesday, May 24 — assuming that the world has not ended this Saturday — the singer will sit down with MTV’s Sway for “MTV First: Taylor Swift”, where she’ll premiere her new video for “The Story Of Us.” Head below to catch a preview of the tour hottie cramming in the library (and cozying up with a study buddy) in her new clip.

Taylor Swift - MTV Shows

“I was at an awards show, and there was a guy there, obviously — it all starts there, doesn’t it?” she told MTV about the meaning behind the song. “It was a guy I had been in a relationship with, falling out, then we end up at the same awards show. Both trying to act like we don’t care.”

After the incident, she knew there was enough emotion there to write a song. “Afterward, I just felt so empty, like we were both fighting this silent war of pretending we didn’t care that the other was there,” she said. “And I went home, and I wrote this song about it. And at that point, I had this gut feeling, and I knew the album was finished.”

For those of you keeping track of all of Taylor’s men behind Speak Now, this one was first thought to be about Joe Jonas, but some super sleuth journalists got Taylor to admit that both her tracks “Dear John” and “The Story Of Us” were written about the same person — John Mayer.
