At the narrative peak of the video, Swift discovers golden threads of light pouring out of her piano and is able to climb into them to get out of the water and back to her cosy cabin. The gold motif has been used several times in lyrics that seem to reference Alwyn. In the song "Daylight," there's the lyric, "I once believed love would be burnin' red / But it's golden." Then, in "Dress," she sang, "There is an indentation in the shape of you / Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo." Even on this new album, there's another "gold" lyrics: in "Invisible String," she sings about "one single thread of gold" that "tied me to you."
