MUMBAI: Taylor Swift's romantic roots are growing deep.

At midnight, the pop superstar dropped the music video for her new single, "Willow," which is the first track off her surprise ninth studio album, evermore.

Swift picks up where she left off from her "cardigan" video. Crawling back out into her piano — wearing her cardigan, of course — she emerges in a forest, under a willow tree.
Throughout the video, she makes her way through a cinematic montage: first an innocent backyard childhood campout, then a glass cage at a carnival from yesteryear (undoubtedly a reference to the trappings of fame) followed by a witchy ceremony. At every encounter, her "man" remains a constant presence at her side.
Co-written with The National's Aaron Dessner (who was a familiar face on folklore), the star — who's been dating actor Joe Alwyn since 2016 — sings of being deeply in love on the track.
"The more that you say, the less I know/ Wherever you stray, I follow/ I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans/ That's my man," she sings in the chorus.
