Taylor Swift, 'Safe and Sound' Video (Behind-the-Scenes) -- Video Premiere

"This is the coolest location for a video that I've ever been on!" Taylor Swift says to her crew on the set of her 'Safe and Sound' video with the Civil Wars. "It's in a town call Watertown (Tenn.), and it's very still."

Taylor and the Civil Wars' John Paul White and Joy Williams shot the clip in a forest, cemetery and log cabin in frigid cold Watertown, where they took breaks in front of huge heaters. But the singers weren't complaining about the weather; the cloudy, cold day was perfect for conveying the eerie mood of the song, which is the first single from the 'Hunger Games' movie soundtrack.

Go behind-the-scenes of the 'Safe and Sound' video below, as Taylor explains the concept of the clip and her ghostly fashion choice for it.

All of Taylor's songs grow on me. I have never been able to listen to someone who began so young that does the same either. The literary underlinings of her craft, and her perfect grasp of something almost intangible are now turned to a darker form on command for the Hunger Games. She won't stay there, but will leave her mark on her amazing journey of growth that has the world enthralled. The biggest mistake anyone can make is to type her, fix her in a genre, or expect the same from her, and those who think she's just a fad will grow old grumbling over their football games but nobody's listening. She's not afraid, and millions of girls are full of gratitude for it. Taylor is an American treasure.
