Taylor Swift “The Story Of Us” Video Debuts On MTV

Taylor Swift raises a racket in the library in the just-released music video for “The Story Of Us”, the latest toe-tapper from Speak Now. If you dug the dork-chic glasses look that T-Swift rocked in “You Belong With Me”, then you’ll love the CoverGirl’s “Bookworm Couture” getup in this vid. Wearing a cute prep school uniform, Taylor (who wrote this jam about her ups and downs of her relationship with John Mayer) wrestles with post-breakup trauma between the stacks. Just don’t try the Billboard Music Award winner’s dance moves in your in your local library. “The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now,” according to the lyrics. But does it end that way? Watch below.

The last song Taylor wrote for Speak Now, “The Story Of Us” is clearly a fan favorite, based on the response it received at her live Nashville performance. Unlike the performance (in which Taylor sported a shimery gold dress) the video showcases the song as the bittersweet, rearview-mirror-obsessed lament that it is. But hey, at least no one tied her to railroad tracks this time.
