Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods – The Making Of

We are in New Zealand on one of the most, not one of the most, the most beautiful beach I've ever been on in my life. It's so surreal, all of us are just freaking out over it. We are on day one of the Out of the Woods music video shoot and today we shot Taylor swimming under the ocean which we did in a swimming pool and now we are here on a beach shooting the beginning and end of the video. Wow, cool. I'm bedraggled and also emotional, probably very hungry. I go through all this stuff and all these terrible trials and tribulations and in the end I find myself. The entire video is basically Taylor suffering through an emotional landscape of trees and forest and snow and water. All that is a metaphor but it's being done practically on location here in New Zealand. We're in the forest which is exciting because we're doing the video for Out of the Woods and this is actually the first time that we've actually been in woods. We've been in a desert, we've been on a rocky cliff, we've been on a glacier, we've been in a swamp. This is actually the first time we're in the woods. This is a real breakthrough. I've been up on a like stilts type thing but the shots are amazing. These are my favorite shots so far. I saw the smoke and it's very like mysterious and ethereal. It's crazy. So basically today we are on a sound stage. We're doing different things like me being in a forest that's on fire, me being in a snowy ice land. When I walked in this morning I was so excited about the sets that have been built. These are some of the most elaborate sets I've ever seen and I think they have such amazing access to incredible trees and plants and things in New Zealand that I mean that's all I can come up with to explain why the forest sets are so good but they're just amazing. They're really talented set designers. This dress that I'm wearing has been dipped in wax. Check out. It's like as if a dress would have been frozen but ironically of all the sets that we've done this has been the least cold one. How that works I don't know. It's going to get the dirtiest later when we do the mud scene. I'm not excited for it. It's going to be terrible. It's going to be gloppy and cold and slimy and I'm going to be crawling in it. It's going to and you know I have to meet a friend later. There's going to be a lot to explain why do you look like this. The mud is like ice. Okay there we go. It's been interesting. We've had quite a day. There has been a helicopter of paparazzi. Apparently like it's it's leaked where we are and so all the security guys are walking around like this like but we're just chilling.
