The rest of the video features the pop superstar in various natural settings, including a forest, a snow-covered mountaintop and even underwater — most of it while being chased by wolves. “She lost him…but she found herself…and somehow that was everything,” a series of words flashing on a black screen read as the song ends. The song was co-written by Bleachers rocker Jack Antonoff, who [called](http://time.com/3506285/out-of-the-woods-taylor-swift-jack-antonoff/) it “one of the most important things I’ve ever been a part of.” Last year, he told TIME that working with Swift on the track was a no-brainer. “You can look at someone and get to know their music and say, ‘This is someone who I want to work with,’” he said. “It’s not rocket science if someone seems cool or great.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4164964/taylor-swift-new-music-video-out-woods-watch/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4164964/taylor-swift-new-music-video-out-woods-watch/"},"headline":"Watch Taylor Swift's New Music Video 'Out of the Woods'","datePublished":"2016-01-01T04:15:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T13:42:48.920Z","description":"The superstar premiered it during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve","url":"https://time.com/4164964/taylor-swift-new-music-video-out-woods-watch/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4164964/taylor-swift-new-music-video-out-woods-watch/","name":"Watch Taylor Swift's New Music Video 'Out of the Woods'"}}]}] ```
