Noting her dedication, Swift and her family moved to nearby Hendersonville, Tennessee, in an attempt to further Swift's career. There she co-wrote songs and tried to land a recording contract. It is shot in one take and the camera follows around the two actors - fully immersing the audience in the visceral interaction taking place in a way that is lifelike and tense.Īfter watching this organically graceful short film upon its release, I cannot wait to see how Taylor brings a nostalgic yet new take to all of her soon to be re-recorded albums.To pursue her music career, Swift often visited Nashville, Tennessee, the country music capital. The notorious messenger of Easter eggs in music has planted many seeds for fans to seek out in her short film as well.Ī moment that stuck out to me above many others is the scene that occurs between the two characters in the middle of the film. The magic that Swift brings to the screen is her meticulous direction. Fans speculate that Swift uses the red scarf her character dawns in the video to allude to her virginity being taken by him, in lyrics, “And you’ve still got it in your drawer even now.” Enchanting the Crowd

The short film offers fans a glimpse into this world, illustrating how her partner didn’t come to her twenty-first birthday party, left her alone with no support around people she didn’t know and took her virginity - something she sings about not being able to get back. Swift and Gyllenhaal had a nine year age gap when dating, and the casting of Sink and O’Brien reflects that. The biggest parallel drawn from the on-and-off screen relationship of the characters is the age gap. She cast Sadie Sink as “Her,” likely autobiographical as Swift makes an appearance at the end as “Her, later on” and Dylan O’Brien as “Him,” presumably playing Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor’s old beau, whom fans speculate the song is about. Taylor has previously directed music videos but announcing that “All Too Well” would be its own short film was a first. The song pulls back the curtain on one of the most defining relationships of Taylor’s life and is a song expressing the hurt after the relationship had taken its final bow. Her mother made sure to acquire a recording of the work session that had just taken place, presumably realizing how special the song was before anyone else had said anything.

While on Fallon’s Show, Swift shares a story about the history of the song, explaining that it was an improvised piece that she strummed along on her guitar when having a bad day. The song “All Too Well” originally debuted on the 2012 release of “Red.” The song was five minutes and 27 seconds in length on the album, where the re-recorded “Red (Taylor’s Version)” features a 10 minute and 13-second version - 13 being Taylor’s favorite number. With “Red,” Swift is telling all of the people who want to own her words and melodies to kindly back away while staying in a total “State Of Grace.” The song I found most intriguing upon the release of the album, and overwhelmingly a fan-favorite, was “All Too Well (Ten Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” which, as Taylor shared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, is her favorite as well. The singer made the decision with the release of “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” to go through and re-release her old albums so that she owns the rights to them. “Red (Taylor’s Version)” marks the second re-recorded album from pop sensation Taylor Swift.
