Swift, 18, says the video is "different than all the ones we've made in the past." She plays a student who sees a handsome guy on campus and imagines them as a Romeo-and-Juliet couple. The story shifts between present day and medieval times.

The song comes off her highly anticipated new album, Fearless, due in stores Nov. 11. As for the song itself, well, Swift says the track revolves around "a love that you've got to hide because for whatever reason it wouldn't go over well."

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a life story - baby just say "Yes.'"
