The band appeared dressed in black from head to toe and broke out in an instrumental introduction. White flashes of light were perfectly coordinated with intense drumbeats which resonated in the bones of the audience. After a while, Woodkid came out on stage, taking this beautiful orchestration to a whole new level.
Woodkid I Love You Instrumental
Although it was only her second single, the video for 2006's "Teardrops on My Guitar" contains many of the hallmarks for what would become Swift's signature visual aesthetic throughout her early career. Unrequited love interest in the form of One Tree Hill's Tyler Hilton? Check. An iridescent gown fit for a fairytale? Check. A narrative arc that establishes our girl as the underdog, who you can't help rooting for to get her happy ending? Check and check.
