Taylor Swift launched her new ‘Story of Us’ video on MTV on Tuesday night, sparking fresh gossip over who inspired the love song. Swift, who famously wrote ‘Forever & Always’ about ex Joe Jonas, confessed the song is definitely about a former flame.

‘Any time I’m onstage or watching the music video, the first thing that comes into my mind is the person I wrote the song about,’ she told MTV. ‘It’s like the first thing that you think of is the moment that inspired the song, which is that excruciating, awful moment when you run into an ex for the first time.’

Could it be John Mayer, Taylor Lautner or even Lucas Till? So far the country star is mum about whom the ‘Story’ is based on, but will offer a few details. ‘Afterward, I just felt so empty, like we were both fighting this silent war of pretending we didn’t care that the other was there,’ she said. ‘And I went home, and I wrote this song about it.’

The ‘Story of Us,’ off her ‘Speak Now’ album, captures the spirit of her awards show encounter, but in a different setting. In the video the couple falls in and out of love in the Vanderbilt University library. Looking especially preppy in her Ivy League get-up, Swift turns up the on-screen angst -- big time.
