The video premiered on September 12 , 2008 on CMT . Mandi Bierly of '' Entertainment Weekly '' was concerned about the video marking Swift 's artistic evolution because it seemed too expensive and made her wonder if anything else about Swift would change . However , she stated : " Worry though I might , I ca n’t resist Taylor Swift ’s evolution from ' Tim McGraw ' ( 2006 ) to her latest , ' Love Story ' . " Bierly also compared Swift 's acting with that of Keira Knightley . Fraser McAlpine of BBC Online believed Swift played a princess in the video and , therefore , said it would make females envious . The video was nominated for the " Video of the Year " category at the 45th Academy of Country Music Awards , but lost to Brad Paisley 's " Waitin ' on a Woman " ( 2008 ) . At the 2009 CMT Music Awards , the video won the CMT Music Awards for " Video of the Year " and " Female Video of the Year " . It also won the award for " Music Video of the Year " at the 43rd Country Music Association Awards . The video won " Favorite International Video " at the Philippine Myx Music Awards 2010
