— TAYLOR COMPARING LOVE TO A GAME

I’m so honored to have been recognized alongside such amazing artists and directors in this category and I just want to say I’m so heartened by the fact that for the first time in VMA history, four of the directors nominated in the Video of the Year category are women. You guys, I’m just so proud of what we made, and I know with every second of this moment that we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you, the fans. Because I wouldn’t be able to rerecord my albums if it weren’t for you. You emboldened me to do that. And I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out October 21, and I will tell you more at midnight

Love always ends differently and it always begins differently - especially with me.
