She is dressed in a corset and dress fitting of the time period, showing she is conforming to the societal norms of the era depicted in the video. The video tells a "Romeo and Juliet" style love story through its narrative of Swift's character meeting and falling for a young attractive man. Various symbolic elements in the video like a bronze necklace, white horse, and angel statue help relate the story to the time period and themes of religion, love, and chivalry prominent in that era.
