Swift had made a point, when she alerted fans to the coming video earlier in the week on social media, of pointing out that there were 19 hands her character passes by as "he" walks down a hallway. The singer didn't do anything immediately after the video's release to confirm the meaning of that number, but fan speculation has led down a couple of halls: Swift, now 30, was 19, they point out, when Kanye West famously came on stage and took the MTV VMA trophy out of her hands. Or, in an alternate but not necessarily conflicting explanation: It was the 19th amendment to the Constitution that gave women the right to vote.
