Taylor is known for being able to capture emotions. Happiness. Sadness. Betrayal. Nostalgia. Longing. Joy. Sorrow. Also known for storytelling. She is an incredible storyteller.
@@Maineman00 Jake was 29. he is currently 43 years old. That's 9 years older than Taylor. I think you are thinking about John Mayer. He was 32 when he dated her at 19
Funny fact to me is, that Taylor herself never thought someone else would feel a strong relation to this song as she felt it, while writing it. And here we are and "All to well" is one of her most loved songs by fans. It was released as a 5 min version on "Red" and she said it began as a 10 min song and was stripped down for the album. Her fans loved it so much that they kept asking for the 10 min version and so she decided to put it out on her re-recording of "Red". One of the most personal lyrics and therefore a very powerful song.
Listen to “Dear John” followed by “Would’ve, could’ve should’ve” it’s about the relationship before this one when she was 19 “allegedly” about John Mayer
Yeah “allegedly” especially when it’s called Dear John and she says about being 19 in Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve. She wanted everyone to know who it was about!!
Jake Gyllenhaal’s current girlfriend is 28. He’s 43. They started dating when she was 25 and he was 40. Taylor is at a more reasonable dating age for him now (she’s 34,) but he’s still pursuing the young ones. Taylor knew.
She was 20…..we know because she sings it in the song. He didn’t show up for her 21st birthday after saying she would. And she was born December 1989….so in 2018 she was only 18 or 19. Your maths aren’t mathing.
@@erikahutchcraft1742I’m only watching this vid now but pretty sure the person above you is referring to Jake being linked to his current girlfriend earlier when she was younger than 25. They’re not talking about Taylor.
I am a new Swiftie at fifty lol and now a new subscriber of yours. I went down a rabbit hole last year after hearing this song. I left an abusive relationship 5 years ago and this song stopped me in my tracks... the story I heard about how she wrote this is quite incredible Taylor wrote All Too Well while she was still rehearsing for the Speak Now tour. Taylor came to the stage and everyone could tell she had been crying. Everyone knew she had just gone through a bad breakup but the show must go on. She sat at the piano and began to play the opening to All Too Well. She sang bits and pieces of it and the band looked around confused because this was a song they didn't know. Then it dawned on everyone in the room that they didn't know the song because she was writing it right then and there. Slowly, the band began to join in with her. By the time she got to the part where it goes 'you called me up again just to break me like a promise,' Andrea said she was crying and screaming the words. When she was finished, Mama Swift turned to the sound guy and asked if he recorded it and he tearfully said that he did. She kept the song until the Red album because it was still too raw. It started out the 10 minute version but had to cut it down for radio but she mentioned it in another interview when Red came out and the fans wouldn't let it go and she put it in the re-record and it blows my mind. As an aspiring writer just her writing just blows my mind she is an amazing lyricist and it angers me when I hear people say she has no talent 😅 anyways sorry to ramble. The backstory was something I truly appreciated hearing when I was becoming a Swiftie. 🫶🏻
Great reaction! I'm glad you chose this version, it really lets ya digest her lyrics better than other versions that can be distracting. If you want a great double feature, check out "Dear John" followed by "Would've Could've Should've"...13 years apart, but if you're John Mayer you probably hear them everyday in your head... ;-) Thanks again.
Taylor has a photographic memory, like, she remembers things about situations most people wouldn't, which is one of the reasons she is able to recall so much.
Champagne Problems, Tolerate It, Clean are a few that seems like you may like. There’s so so many in her catalog that brings out emotions that you yourself can relate to. That’s one reason we love her so.
@@JimmyGamesOfficial That's why she sucks us all in to be honest. Most of her songs are just so damn relatable and we can all relate to them in one way or another. Regardless of our ages, gender, race, etc. She's just brilliant song writer, singer, performer in my opinion. Welcome to the Swiftie rabbit hole :)
Lovely reaction 🥰 The song was born out of spontaneity and hurt, one day that Taylor came to rehearsel. While on tour with her Speak Now album, back in 2011. She just started singing the song, while her band just sort of joined in, and kept going. Luckily, I think her mom or someone else there recorded it. I can’t remember at the moment. She originally didn’t put this version on her Red album, because it was seen as too long. So she called Liz Rose to help her shorten it, cutting it down to a little over 5 minutes. In an interview she revealed it originally was a 10 minute song, and ever since that she has been asked about it. She released the 10 minute original version, that you just heard, in 2021.
Well said. This is a phenomenal piece of storytelling and bringing that story into such gorgeous transitions. Her melodic instincts are the best. It’s fucking insane
@@carsten1989 Thank you! I couldn't agree more than I already do with your points. It truly feels like a song that takes you on a journey. Some of Taylor's best work has been written in such a short amount of time. As if it's a dire need to get it out somehow. Both from a lyrical and melodic standpoint.
Her live performance of this on SNL is quite good, I hope you get a chance to watch it. On the other end of this spectrum in regards to Jake, watch the video "I Bet You Think About Me." She absolutely drags him and it is hilarious!
I’m sure someone has requested it already, but ‘Dear John’, ‘Story of Us’, and ‘Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve’ are all about John Mayer, who she dated when she was 19 and he was 32. The first two are from shortly after they broke up. The last one is from her perspective when she finally reached the age he was when they dated, and speaks on how it still affects her today.
This 10-minute version is the original song and released in 2021 on her album Red (Taylor's Version) which is a re-recording with extra songs of Red ,the album that came out in 2010, and that one includes a shorter version of this song.
Very nostalgic for me. Same feelings/emotions for me! It's amazing how Taylor can write songs that make so many people relate to them. The ones who don't care for Taylor or write her off as a cheesy breakup song pop star, might not want to analyze themselves in order to connect with her lyrics. It's a shame, really. Jimmy, I really appreciate your reaction breakdown style and the way you understand or seem to what the lyrics are probably saying. You seem to catch on really fast. Honestly, I usually see women pick up that quickly on why Taylor's lyrics are so impactful to so many and what she was probably wanting to say in her songs. Very nice! Thank you!
13:08 “I’ve been there before” that. That right there is why we love her. Her confessional song writing makes it relatable. And often in an incredibly poetic way.
Thank you for reacting to this fantastic video. She's a lyrical writer that visually paints the picture with words and puts it to her songs brilliantly.❤ Stay safe
The guy she wrote this about is Jake Gyllenhaal American actor who she dated when she was 20 and he was apparently older. Thanks for doing this reaction you were pretty spot on with what went on.
The same but opposite lane, the music video "I beg you think about me " it's from Red Taylor's Version and is about Jake too. She definitely wrote this one after the hump. Its directed by Blake Lively
And when she says she remembers it all she means it. She has a photographic memory. I agree you need to do dear John live, and then Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve they’re both supposedly about John Mayer.
I cannot tell you how many times I have listened to this exact lyric video and never realized what you commented on. The way she sang and played out the song as a memory that becomes fainter and fainter. Loved this, so I had to subscribe! Great observation on your part.
Great song!..................That song is so EPIC that broke down the Guinness Record of 50 YEARS to American Pie (longest song reached #1 at BILLBOARD)❤
Incredible reaction new sub love the vibe this song hits home especially this chunk of the song: you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all Too well Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence And it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
Subscribed!! I adore you! Thank you for this reaction, you really listened and some reactors just dont really get her. This relationship with Jake really meased her up, especially after John Mayer. He knew she was vulnerable and took advantage. He would disappear for weeks and want her back, she loved him so she went. He is manipulative and honestly a terrible man. He was gaslighting her so much, so i believe thats why she keeps repeating the words to herself over and over at the end so she knows she isn't crazy. He made her feel like it wasnt real and im so happy she got this song out there. Be a better human!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏 I am so disappointed to learn that the song is about Jake because I like his acting......but I guess he is an actor on and off stage.
She has many other topics (fictions, family, friends, strangers, childhood,…) not only break-up. I’d suggest “I bet you think about me” MV (same person mentioned in this song) “Timeless” (thinking about love and connecting it with people and events in the history ) and “The Man” (imagining what if she’s a man) :)
Please consider doing the rock version of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together from her 1989 tour. The reputation tour (don't blame me, I did something bad, etc..) are also great if you haven't checked those out yet, but make sure you get the right versions - there are some versions that are pretty dodgy in terms of quality / syn'c. Sort by views or rating to make sure you don't accidentally get a bad cell phone version. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is about the same relationship as this song (All Too Well) and they are from the same album. The live version is insanely good. Live versions of Taylor Swift are very unique over the studio versions. Its almost a different artist sometimes on some tracks. I don't think you've done anything live yet and her live performances are what takes her from a great songwriter to a legend.
If you watch the short film she did for all to well 10 (that she also directed) with sadie sink and dylan obrien it will provide a lot more context trust me :)
The follow up song to this is “the Moment I Knew”. It picks up right after this song. It’s a fantastic song, too. Loved your reaction. Thank you for sharing some of your experiences with us. That’s hard to do. My first boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me because his parents were divorcing and his father told him to go sleep around. We were so happy, too. I was crushed for a solid year. I remember it all. His wife looks a lot like me. LOL. I met her at our school reunion. I was happy and polite and said hello with my husband. She got upset and they left 10 minutes later. Idk. It would have been nice to have closure from him. 🤷🏼♀️ •Subscribed•!!
You should check out the video too, now that you really grasp the lyrics... with us or privately. It's amazingly well done, like all her videos. It was about her & Jake Gyllenhaal, who was too old for her, like John Mayer was.
Having o CD definitely helps my brain compartmentalize every version of every song in order without any of the confusion at the beginning of this video. Welcome to being a swiftie 💙🫶💙🫶💙🫶
I think I gotta give credit to Jake because he is one of the ONLY guys who had a song written about him who openly said that shes within her right as an artist to write what she felt and what she was inspired by. Unlike John Mayer who was a little baby and cried like a baby about it multiple times.
It’s about Jake Gyllenhal an he was actually photographed wearing he scarf she refers to after they split. Poor Maggie Gyllenhal even mentioned in an interview if she could find it she’d she would give it back 😂
It took the world record of longest song at number 1 on billboard100, taking the spot of America Pie. She made the cutest Tiktok when it happened of her on a green screen of billboard announcing it and her saying what the hell repeatedly. She really is a national treasure.💙🫶💙🫶💙🫶
Jake Gyllenhall’s current girlfriend in 2024 is 28 yrs old while he is 43. That a 15 yr age difference. Proves Taylor’s point that while she gets older, she is now 34, his gfs stay the same age or younger.
Plus Jake was the guy she went out with after the horrible mess with John Mayer. In comparison, Jake seemed a better pick so she let her defenses down. In actuality though, John Mayer was just a crueler narcissist, while Jake's version was more covert. But both just as damaging.
That's ok.....you can go watch the video in full with no cut ins....i posted the link to the original video in the description (as with all my vids)....thanks

The imagery in this song never ceases to amaze me
There is also a short film of this song
One of my favorite songs is my tears ricochet it’s about her losing her music it was bought out from underneath her
You need to watch the All to Well 10 minute short film Taylor wrote and directed. It’s brilliant !!!!!

you call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
Too well
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again
But I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence
And it smells like me
You can't get rid of it
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah

15:32 it was extra hurtful bc he broke up with her bc of the age gap
This song is about John Mayer.
Plus Jake was the guy she went out with after the horrible mess with John Mayer. In comparison, Jake seemed a better pick so she let her defenses down. In actuality though, John Mayer was just a crueler narcissist, while Jake's version was more covert. But both just as damaging.
Thanks for watching this version first. The short film is too beautiful and distracting, if you don’t already know the song!
Jake Gyllenhaal the actor my dude he did a number on her
Jake Gyllenhaal! She was just a young thing
It is theorized that the red scarf is a metaphor for her virginity... That makes it an even more powerful song.

Think John Meyer was the first.😊

Jake G. 10:48
