The song is related to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597) as the scenarios are similar, where the lovers did not get on with each others families. The male met Swift's friends and family but they did not hit it off, this upset Swift where she found herself comparing her situation to Romeo and Juliet whereby she stated that "the only people who wanted them to be together were them". This link is amplified throughout the video, this is seen just from the mise-en-scene, in particular the clothing. The lyrics are written in first person from Juliet's perspective, therefore Swift plays the narrator.
