Background[]
The camera shows five demolished/static TVs at the start, together saying the song’s name. The camera then zooms from the TVs, and reveals an abandoned town called Muck Mound. With a crashed train, an old rundown car, lights, a road sign, retro TVs scattered everywhere, and the coach crying. The camera then zooms to one of the TVs.
The first background is a saloon called The Good Ole Days, with wooden walls and floors, a barrel on the side, string lights on the top, a wagon wheel, posters, and pictures depicting various coaches from other games, and windows with curtains on their sides, with one of the windows uttering "OLD TOWN SALOON" backwards. Memories depicting C1 and the coach of Wake Me Up can be seen through the windows. Then on the first pre-chorus, the camera moves to the other part of the saloon, with chandeliers, pendant lights and walls containing Taylor’s acoustic guitar, more posters, a jukebox and a dartboard. A bar can also be seen at the right side with another wagon wheel, a barrel, bottles, and chairs.
The background then glitches out to reveal the abandoned town from earlier, containing a house, a crashed train, an old car, a wagon wheel, the same acoustic guitar from earlier, a washing machine, another wagon wheel, a streetlamp, string lights scattered in the bottom, and retro TVs everywhere containing numerous flashbacks of the coach. This background is shown throughout all of the choruses.
Then, the camera zooms in to another one of the retro TVs to reveal another scene at afternoon, with various pine trees, streetlamps, a billboard containing the coaches of Love Story (Taylor’s Version), and a parking lot containing various black cars, with one of the cars' trunks open. On the second pre-chorus, the camera then pans to an extended version of the previous scene, this time at night, containing more cars, pine trees, street-lamps turning on, billboards, more memory of C2 and Wake Me Up, and the full map of Love Story (Taylor’s Version).
The last background is at daytime, at the desert, with the coach standing on a railroad track, a big locomotive train, a car, electric cable lines, and some buildings. The last memory of the coach and Wake Me Up can be seen before it disappears.
