The first video is a conversation Swift had with Zane Lowe, where she discusses how she was often barraged with questions about her dating life when she was younger. "When I was like 23 and people were just like kind of reducing me to… making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I'd sat next to at a party once, and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick, rather than a skill and a craft… It's a way to take a woman who's doing her job and succeeding at doing her job and making things… in a way, it's figuring out how to completely minimize that skill," she said.
The TikTok then cuts to Swift on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" seven years earlier, where, in addition to speaking with Swift about her alleged relationship with Zac Efron, she also asked the singer to play a game. Swift is asked to ring a bell when she sees herself in a photo with the man that inspired her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
