Video Premiere: Taylor Swift’s apology song for Taylor Lautner – ‘Back To December’

Taylor Swift has premiered the new ‘Back To December’ video for the second single off her third studio album Speak Now. The song is an apology song and is allegedly written for Taylor’s ex boyfriend and Twilight star Taylor Lautner, with whom she broke up in December 2009 after a bit more than three months of dating.

The new video directed by Yoann Lemoine (Katy Perry ‘Teenage Dream’) has a pretty simple concept and shows Taylor singing the song in her bedroom and her video boyfriend moving in an unknown direction through the snowy landscape.

According to sources like PopEater.com, the video has several hints that the song and the video is about Taylor Lautner.

Firstly, the couple split in December 2009. Secondly, Taylor sings about happy summer days – Swift met Lautner on set of Valentine’s Day in July 2009. Then she mentions September, the month they went out as a couple. And, of course, she talks about the guy’s “tan skin” and “sweet smile” that seem to perfectly match Taylor Lautner’s.

Among the references in the video, PopEater.com also mentions the video boyfriend’s leather jacket that looks similar to that Taylor Lautner is often seen wearing.

In her interview with MTV Taylor Swift said it was her first apology song ever.

I’ve never felt the need to apologize in a song before, but in the last two years I’ve experienced a lot, a lot of different kinds of learning lessons,” Taylor Swift confessed. “And sometimes you learn a lesson too late and at that point you need to apologize because you were careless. [‘Back To December’] is about a person who was incredible to me, just perfect to me in a relationship, and I was really careless with him,” the star added.

   I kinda sorta personally don’t care.
   Guess that makes me a bad person… to not care about what other people do on their spare time… or who they dedicate their songs to… or their love life.
   I guess I’m just a horrible and lonely man for not caring about a romance that has nothing to do with me.
   And I guess I’m a self-centered jerk for wanting every camera held by every paparazzi-category employee broken, and the pieces shoved down their throats.
