Taylor Swift Fans Have Strong Feelings Over 'All Too Well' Short Film

Taylor Swift really knows how to make her fans' wildest dreams come true!

On Friday, November 12, Swift released her re-recording of her fourth studio album “Red” titled “Red (Taylor’s Version)." The original album, which debuted in 2012, detailed the heartbreak that Swift experienced after dating Jake Gyllenhaal for three months before her 21st birthday.

The song “All Too Well,” which details intimate moments of their relationship, has been consistently ranked as one of Swift’s most popular songs. Although the lengthy song was already 5 minutes and 28 seconds long, Swift had often teased that the song was originally meant to be much longer.

Swift finally released the unabridged version of the song, titled “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” on her new album and it has stirred fans into quite a frenzy. With savage lyrics like, “I’ll get older but your lovers stay my age” and “You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine,” fans cannot stop tweeting about Gyllenhaal.

Although fans have been claiming to have received “emotional damage” from the song’s bitter lyrics, fans couldn’t wait until Swift released the “All Too Well” short film at 7 PM EST that same night.

While fans were waiting for the film to drop, some couldn’t help but notice something interesting about the film’s two stars: Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.

Sink, born in 2002, is 19 years old, and O’Brien is 30 years old, mimicking the age gap between Swift and Gyllenhaal. Swift is now 31, whereas Gyllenhaal is now 40. The lyrics seem to hint that the age difference might have been a big reason the couple decided to go their separate ways, although her song “The Moment I Knew” hints that his failure to attend her 21st birthday party marked “the moment [Swift] knew” that their relationship was over.

Swift, who wrote and directed the film, also makes an appearance as well, although not as the signature missing scarf, as one fan joked. She appears at the end of the film as an older version of the character portrayed in the song.

Leading up to the premiere, YouTube revealed that 110,000 people were all waiting for the film five minutes before its debut. That number jumped to 230,000 people a minute before the film launched exactly at 7 PM EST, and over 760,000 people were watching the film during its 15-minute runtime.

"THIS WAS INCREDIBLE, Sadie’s and Dylan’s chemistry, the story line, everything, incredible," one fan wrote.

"i can’t stop crying taylor i’m so incredibly proud of you," another fan wrote. "dylan and sadie did such an amazing job portraying the emotions perfectly. this was a delight to watch."

"Dylan watching Sadie 13 years on in the crowd, wearing her scarf is such a powerful scene," another fan wrote, while another fan suggested that both actors deserved awards for their performances, saying, "Sadie and Dylan's acting in this is very affecting and hits very deep."

Another fan wrote, "I can't believe how beautifully you captured all the emotions this song has made us feel for almost 10 years. This is a masterpiece Taylor, thank you, love you forever."

"It's amazing how re-recording has given you the opportunity to look at this with fresh new eyes," another fan wrote. "Older eyes too. Amazing project, Taylor. Extremely happy that you are taking this opportunity to revisit different chapters and close them."
