In this video, I react to Taylor Swift's music video/short film, "All Too Well."
I thought the video was amazing--moody, emotional, and beautifully shot. I loved the way the video editor managed to make Taylor's lyrics feel alive and tangible. This is a masterpiece of a short film, and I'm so excited to see what Taylor Swift does in the future... GIVE US MORE!
Original Video - • Taylor Swift - All Too...
“I almost feel like I shouldn’t be here right now” is probably one of the best compliments you could give to actors/film makers
The song was written after her breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal. They have a 9 year age gap and dated when she was 20. That might fill in some story gaps for you. (Including why his house would be so nice and the choice of actors and their ages).
exactly…
wasn't it a 10 year age gap? like, wasn't he 30?

Dude, you could make a three hour video and the Swifties will watch. As you learn more about Taylor you will discover that this woman is a powerhouse at everything she does, and her vision is so specific she can make us all see and feel it. Also, the scene in the kitchen was entirely improvised. Sadie Sink is the real deal.
About the lights: the Yellow ones are representing her, and the blue is representing him. It’s showing us how they are differently. Younger and older. Warmer and freezing. Love and indifference. How she felt dumb and he feels like he’s the “wiser”. Taylor is a genius
Dude there were no iPhones in early 2000 and Taylor is also not in her 40 😅😂😂😂😂 it’s not a professional review it’s just for views
@@kay6692 At first you commented on the wrong comment. I don’t know which world do you live in, but in 2011 there was the IPhone 4. She has 33 years old. And what’s the importance of being a professional review or not?
@@kay6692at that time she had 19 and he had 28. it's a lot of difference for me
@@kay6692oh boy. TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!
Also because the song comes from the album 'Red'
Fantastic review. I’m a 64yo man who has been a big TS fan for 14 years because she enabled me to connect to my 10yo daughter. When my daughter was 10 and my son 12, my wife called me at work and said “I’m leaving, you better pickup the kids from school”. I needed a way to talk to my daughter to take her mind of losing her mother. She would listen to TS, so I started to as well. It was a way for me to open a conversation with her and over the years the two of us attended several concerts together. When Red (TV) dropped, she called me from work and told me not to listen to it until she came over for dinner that night so we could listen the the album together. So, I have always thanked TS for assisting me keeping the three of us grounded and together. PS, my son was easy, he loved racing motorbikes. Both have finished uni now and working. She did nursing and he did mechanical engineering.
That’s a great story. I’m so happy Taylor swift was able to do that for you guys. Music is such a powerful thing. Thank you for this!
@@Videoeditorreacts thank you.
That’s an amazing way to start a connection with your daughter & continue it. My dad shares different hobbies with each of us & it makes our time together special. I’m sure your children (doesn’t matter if they’re grown) love & appreciate how much time you’ve shared with them. Best wishes ❤
@@Ok_Loren thank you, I never regretted a second.
I didn't have kids, but slowly turned into a Swiftie over a few years. She is the Real Deal and a seemingly down-to-earth person. Now in my early 50's, I am plotting to attend the Eras tour with my "Bonus Kids" - we are going to have a blast!
they did actually improvise pretty much that entire scene! taylor said that there was a basis of what the conversation would be about but sadie and dylan brought it to life
About the birthday party: she has a whole song called The Moment I Knew (same album, Red), about her 21 birthday party where she cried the whole night in the bathroom because he didn't show up. And in All Too Well she sings that her dad watched her watch the front door all night willing him to come.
whoch also ties to All Of The Girls You Loved Before "crying in a bathroom for some dude whose name I cannot remember now"...even tho it's a kind of a stretch, bathroom is a great place to cry, she could've cried over anyone, but nothing with Taylor is accidental
Wow that's so sad. I need to listen to that song now. Thank you again!
And why she wrote the uplifting song 22 😊
@@Megan-xj4ip Yup. "You ruined 21 for me so imma make 22 the New Big Deal." It's classic Taylor.
The Moment I knew is my all too well😢
Sadie is the age Taylor was when she dated Jake, and Dylan is the age Jake was, so yes that was deliberate, seeing the age difference here and realizing in hindsight that, that was not OK
Idk, my grandmother was 10 years younger than my grandfather. I think what makes this relationship so wrong is how he treated her. Then, if he in fact threw around their age difference like the song suggests, shame on him even more. He knew how old she was and willingly participated. He decided to run when things got difficult, and then he selfishly blamed her for things she couldn’t control, like her age. I met my wife when I was 37 and she was 25. One, she’s an old soul, so I’ve never thought about our difference. Two, relationships are about mutual respect. When you truly love someone, you don’t treat them the way Jake treated Taylor. I get everyone makes mistakes, but his behavior in this relationship goes beyond mistake and into character flaw territory.
Also, people blamed Taylor for years for “being a tease” and a “man eater” that couldn’t please Jake (or John Meyer before him). No one at the time said a word about these men in their late 20s and early 30s dating someone so much younger. It’s a pretty big jump forward between the reactions that essentially slut-shamed Taylor then to the MUCH more appropriate reaction now, with people being visibly uncomfortable with the extreme age difference. (One review channel actually stopped the video for a minute, they were having to deal with so much dissonance from loving the actor and “Dylan she’s a child!” Which of course was the whole point of the casting. Taylor was also great, making sure Sadie felt safe and comfortable with everything being filmed.)
@@chiptovey6015 It’s different when someone is 25 and 37, while the years might be the same a 25 year old is much more mature than a 19 yr old. 19 is an age that a girl is still impresionable and much easier to be manipulate and controlled by someone older, 19 is so close to still being a teenager
@@CeciliaRoberts-oo5yz I believe you, different times though. I’m not saying relationships can’t last with age difference, but a grown man in his early 30s or near 30 dating a 19 year old gives me the ick. It tells me that this man is either a) immature or b) they want someone who they can control or manipulate, like you said it’s different when there’s an age difference when one is say in their late 20’s and the other person is 10 years older because at that point both parties are more mature with more experience
@@khillswhich channel was that? I’d love to see that reaction
“He looks older than her” *low pained laughter*
Hard to believe the editor didn’t know the background of this song
The original version of this song is 5 minutes and that was released in 2012 on her album of Red. In an interview she said that she actually wrote a ten minute version of it but "you can't have a ten minute song on an album lol". So obviously after hearing this, Swifties wanted to hear this ten minute version and because of the whole rerecording thing that she's doing she decided to release the ten minute version on the rerecording of the Red album. So this version that you're hearing isn't that old.
Ahh I see! Great to know! I'll have to listen to the shorter version now. This was a masterpiece!
@@Videoeditorreacts great! Listen to Taylor's Version not the stolen version only hehe.
I also think that’s why her hair is red…one because Sadie is a perfect Taylor and two the represent the Red album.
The teal color you pointed out ( 19:05 )... it suggests 'Snake'. I didn't get the verse 'did the twin flames maim you too?' but I won't even ask Taylor if I ever meet her ! Who's the poisonous snake, I don't get either.
@@SymbalonSmiradionThe twin flames blue are theorized to be a reference to Taylor and Jake’s zodiac signs. Both are Sagittarius, known as the blue flame of the zodiac.
"You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath." Man that cuts deep. 23:59
Right? The words in this are so well crafted
I was going to say that verbatim! LOL
Although he was trying to lighten the mood and diffuse the fight, the “I’m sorry I dropped your hand” was so condescending, props to Dylan!
Right?? Amazing acting
Loved your commentary on this! Taylor doesn’t actually have red hair. She portrayed herself with red hair to look like an older version of Sadie. Also, this song is from an album named Red, so it might also be symbolism. In the end, 13 years later, you did the math that she would be 34 years old. Taylor isn’t 34 yet but she shows a time jump of 13 years because 13 is her lucky number that she uses a lot in her videos. The dialogue was improvised, that’s why it looks so real. Taylor reached out to Sadie and Dylan specifically for this short film and said she wouldn’t want to make it with anyone else. The actors were chosen deliberately because of their age and also how naive Sadie looks compared to Dylan, which is very intentional. If you notice in the end credits, the first three people credited are her (Sadie), him (Dylan) and her later (Taylor). But if you keep the credits rolling you’ll see in the end there’s another credit noted for him later. We didn’t actually see the face of an older Dylan, only the persons back with the scarf on. We assume it was Dylan but actually it was someone named Jake. That was also very deliberate because the person who the song is originally about is Jake Gyllenhall. There’s many times in the song where she mentions their age gap. She said he told her they would have been fine if they were closer in age, indicating this is why they broke up. But later she says “I get older but your lovers stay my age” which shows that wasn’t the reason at all but just an excuse he used. When this song came out, Jake Gyllenhall was in a relationship with an even larger age gap than him and Taylor.
Oh wow. I analyze the crap outta TS lyrics and somehow completely missed the relation of the “I’ll get older but your lovers stay my age” line to the excuse of it would’ve been fine if they had been closer in age. Good call out. That’s now one of my favorite of her many many clever lines
Note that the video has “chapters” and tells the story that is in the book she rights in the end. She uses the book as a representation of the song she wrote about it. (But she sells the “book” as an empty journal as merch). The audience at the book reading is actually representative of us (fans) listening to her story.
Ohh, I didn’t know that but that makes so much sense.
She felt out of the place during the dinner because she was younger them all. Look at the wine. She doesn’t drink because when she was dating him, she was minor. There’s a lot of easter eggs!!!
She wasn't a minor. A minor is a teenager. Adulthood is generally assumed at 18 yo. She was 20 and 21. It is true she wasnt drinking but that's because the U.S. silly drinking age is 21.
@@clarkbarrett6274they’re saying “minor” because giving alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 in the states is considered “contributing to a minor”.
@@clarkbarrett6274Yeah, the US is backwards in many ways, and you just hit in one: anyone under 21 is considered a minor when it comes to gambling, cigarettes, and alcohol. Providing either to someone under 21 is considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor. 🙄 So yes, someone can go to war in the USA before they can legally have a drink along the way.
@@khillswhen Taylor Swift was 18, 19, and 20 the cigarette legal age was 18 still but yeah.
This is why Swifties are Swifties. What she brings to her projects are so personal and relatable.
The 5 min version gives you a snapshot of her pain and the 10 mins not only fills in the missing storyline pieces but triples the pain
It also gives it an edge of fury that isn’t in the short version that I absolutely adore
This song is about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. He was waaaay older than her when they dated, so yes, the age gap of the actors are not a coincidence. This song originally was in the Red album (2012), but it was a shorter, 5 minute version of it. This version of the Short Film is called All Too Well (10 Minute Version), which is the last song on Red (Taylor's Version), the re-recorded version of Red released in 2021. Taylor is showing not only the stuff that happened with her, but also how she sees and views the situation now she's an adult. Edit: another interesting thing you pointed out is the contrast between blues and oranges in this video. Everything that represents him is blue, cold. She is red, orange, intense. You can see this very clearly in the refrigerator light scene.
Thank you for this info! That's crazy! I don't know why but I never knew they dated. I'm happy I've watched this now so I can look further into it! I had a feeling that's how they were utilizing the light. It's so well done! You have a great eye for things and an awesome outlook on her videos!
@@Videoeditorreacts you also noticed this in her apartment 13 years later when you pointed out the lighting! She said in an interview that she wanted to show that a part of him (blue light) stayed with her (yellow light) after their relationship. So her apartment (like her life) had a bit of his influence in it.
@@VideoeditorreactsYes I was waiting and wondering if you were going to catch that part when they were dancing in the kitchen and he was twirling Sadie around, that his side was blue and hers was gold. To me it signifies he was cold ❄️ and she was warm ☀️.
For someone who is not a Taylor fan, you REALLY pick up on the plot lines and subtleties so well. Prob bc of your videography knowledge and experience, but it makes me so happy bc it truly speaks to her ability to tell a story just as well visually. Ugh 😩 this one is very John Mellencamp IMO … no not tone or rhythm … it just “hurts so good” 😅
She just has red hair here to match Sadie Sink. Also, the scene without music is in one long take in which Taylor let the actors improvise most of the dialogue.
Ahh, I had a feeling!! They did an amazing job!
Also because "Red" Red album.
Pretty sure it was actually filmed in Ryan Reynolds house, cause they’re all pretty good friends ❤
yeah, Blake and Ryan had a photo with that stained glass window
I heard the same!
I heard this too so it would be upstate NY
iirc from the bts video, they were shooting at night and using lighting to make it look like afternoon/evening inside.
Of all the reactions I’ve watched you are the first guy to notice straight away the age difference. Very observant. Ps: it has been speculated that the scarf was a symbolism for her virginity.
Thank you so much!
Don't worry dear...we all forgot about the scarf when we first listened, she wanted us to forget and get swept away! So glad you liked this man! Also couldn't help but laugh at how excited you got when you thought there might be extra scenes at the end, bless your soul haha you're slowly becoming a swiftie
Oh I was hoping there were some so bad lol. I got my hopes up! Thank you so much for watching Sama!
I've heard several interviews where Maggie Gyllenhaal (Jake's also-famous sister) says she gets asked all the time if TS's scarf is still at her house). At first, she didn't know what people were talking about.
Whenever the party scene( 27:31 ) is filmed all I can think about is “The moment I knew”(Taylor’s version) and these lyrics: Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they are all laughing As I am looking around the room But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew
Lol @ your "Taylor's Version" in there though. Both versions had exactly these lyrics.
Fun fact: At the end, when she's reading the book, she's telling the lyrics form the actual song "I walked throught the door with you... The air was cold"
She has another song, I Bet You Think About Me, which is also about this relationship and has a music video. It has some lyrical parallels, such as the main guy never finding her funny, and a special prop shows up in the video 😏. I would recommend watching if you want more to this story line.
Oh wow! I had no idea! Thank you, I'll definitely check that out!
@@Videoeditorreacts FYI: the I Bet You Think About Me video was written by Taylor and (one of her closest friends) Blake Lively, but directed by Blake Lively. It is such a FUN video and I’d love to see your reaction to it!
Yesssss ibytam is a must
@@Videoeditorreactsyou’re going to have a lot of fun with that one!
Oh yes, please react to that soon!
Taylor explained that the final scene (where Jake is outside her book reading) is an homage to the 1937 film "Stella Dallas" starring Barbara Stanwyk. In that film, we get to see Stanwyck's face/reaction as she watches through the window. But in All Too Well, Taylor specifically chose *not* to let us see Jake's face as he watches and as he walks away (which is probably a huge metaphor for how he follows her career). She doesn't want to tell us how he was feeling in that moment. She wants us to wonder how he feels. Here is the scene in question from Stella Dallas: kzhead.info/sun/gJyxYrSLgJqYm2g/bejne.html
When you're 20 everything hurts so much more than when you're older.
I'm surprised you didn't comment on the line that hit me the hardest in this song.. "You kept me like a secret, I kept you like an oath." It really explains the whole relationship dynamic.
Best well spent 40 minutes this afternoon. Loved this reaction! (And I'm backing up whatever other swifties said about us loving long reactions)
Thank you so much Joi! That means a ton! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
By far the best video analysis I've ever seen of this short-film. You knocked it out of the park, great job.
Thank you so much!!! This means a ton!
“dancing ‘round the kitchen in the refrigerator light” is one of my all time favourite lyrics (i’m planning a tattoo based on it) and it’s definitely my favourite shot in this video. the way he’s blue and she’s yellow, he’s *literally* cold and she’s warm. it’s such a beautifully simple shot but it encapsulates the entire feeling of this song. he was indifferent. he didn’t ever say he loved her. he made her feel small and gaslit her so much, while also invalidating her dwellings of love and it was just *chefs kiss*
Ahh this was so cool to watch through your eyes. She does INCREDIBLE videos - wildest dreams, blank space, cardigan, all of them from reputation, but I think this is truly her masterpiece. This song is considered one of her very best and is based on a true story. For yourself you may want to go watch the lyric video then come back and do this again just to see all the little Easter eggs in the lyrics! In 2012 this was 5 min long in Red, when she rereleased red Taylor’s version she included the full length original song. As for “what happened” and why he cut it off she did say, but I don’t think you caught it, “you said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine, and that made me want to die”. Great reaction! I’m really enjoying these!
Thank you so much Emma! Totally went right over my head lol. I may start listening to the song first to get lyrics down and then reacting to the videos to connect the two better!
@@Videoeditorreacts that's a good idea, the videos are often quite overwhelming and it's hard to pay full attention to lyrics
And the irony of "... but your lovers stay my age" 😬
Her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal and breakup spawned an entire album (RED), the only album she says was an entirely a break-up album. And she has gone on record recently that the scarf was a metaphor for … obviously he can’t send it back. But the birthday scene of him not showing up is real. She wrote a whole song about it - The Moment I Knew which on RED. So fans when they saw this scene just lost it.
Definitely watch the bts! Yeah, the fight scene was almost whole like one shot, they didn't cut until the "don't fucking look at me like that, that's so fucked up" and it was improvised. I mean, I am sure that there was scripted something but Taylor said that she talked with Sadie and Dylan so much about the characters and their dynamics etc. that they knew what would they say. She is 33 now, 13 it's because it's her favourite number and when I say favourite, I mean she is absolutely obsessed with it XD Taylor's blonde, she had red hair just because Sadie has red hair and she really wanted to cast Sadie and Dylan, she even said that if Sadie or Dylan said no, she isn't sure she would've made the film. PS: There are rumours about another short film being for one of the songs from he next rerecorded album which comes out July 7, and also another music video directed by her. But they're just rumours, nothing's for sure.
Wow, she REALLY wanted Sadie then lol. That's crazy! Good to know about the number 13 with her! I'll keep an eye out for those rumors, that would be amazing if she did another one!!
Omg. I just realized Shawn levy plays her dad in this video. Shawn levy is a director who works with Ryan Reynolds a lot. Ryan wife is really good friends with Taylor. It’s been rumored that Taylor will be in the new Deadpool film as a cameo.
There is a behind the scenes! She also did a Directors on Directors with Martin McDonagh
It is impressive how much you noticed that went over most people's heads - like the colour difference between his house/kitchen (cool dark) and her house and kitchen (warm sunny). You picked up on many of the details Taylor wanted to portray in this film. The actor she was involved with in 2010 was Jake Gyllenhaal who was 30 at the time.
the fact that you IMMEDIATELY knew that it was shot on 35mm is so crazy to me ahaha edit: i should mention that in addition to Taylor just being an amazing director, her cinematographer is so extremely talented. her name is Rina Yang, and she deserves so much credit. she’s talked a lot about the intricate details she put into this short film, from the choice to use film, to the way they did certain shots, to the lenses, to the color palette, etc.. there’s a reason taylor’s been using her as a cinematographer ever since this video.
"I didn't want it to be over!" I've said this every single time the song ends...even the 10 minute version. Love it!
The Behind the Scenes covers many of the moments you pointed out! (the intro scene when she walks in the door, the kissing scene, the dad/birthday scene, the friends dinner scene). Would LOVE to see your reaction to it, whenever you have time!
Taylor is a genius, plain and simple. Her songs tell a story. Now watch it again!!
23:04 Everybody else : "oh the lights went out". Swifties: "ghosts."
I consider it an absolute travesty that this wasn't even nominated for the Oscars best Short Film.
I love how more and more people are being exposed to her genius! I want her to get the credit she deserves!
WE ARE GETTING FED . THANK YOU FOR A LONGGGGG ASSSSSS VIDEOOOO ❤
Taylor is amazingly talented and of course, not to forget, she just won 'Person of the Year' TIME. How can one not be a swiftie? I watched her from her beginning as a young lady in country music genre then watched her transition to Pop music, and now this new and exciting venture into films. Taylor,you deserve all the accolades and awards and your talent surpasses your diligence and hard work, but not by much...they are neck in neck on the home stretch. You go girl! And now it seems you have found your true love which we are all happy to enjoy along with you. Have never known an artist to be so loved by her fans as you are and even that you deserve because you love your fans like no one else in music that I have ever witnessed and I am an 76 year old lady into music since a 10 yo child...so all my life, y'all, all my life!TY,Taylor for the great joy you bring to the WWW.❤❤❤
Some of the cottage scenes were filmed in an undisclosed location in Vancouver (same place a few scenes from Deadpool 3), some were filmed in upstate New York (believed to be Hudson Valley or British Columbia), and many scenes were actually filmed in Taylor’s NYC apartment building. It was all kept hush hush and filmed over the course of 3 days.
Also the house at the beginning isn’t a set, it’s Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ house.
ik im late but the nyc scenes at the end are filmed at a bookstore the bookstore hosts a taylor swift karaoke night
That reaction of the ending like the guy in the window with a red scarf on is what my reaction too 😭🤌
Your intro was 🤌🏼😂 I love the end of this video with the character growing up into a successful writer, using her experiences for her art. I can only imagine that JG has watched Taylor blossom into the amazing adult powerhouse she has become. There is no way he wouldn’t be aware of her success and hopefully impressed.
Thank you so much! Lol Oh I agree- he was to be impressed and probably regrets how he acted toward her in some way
FYI - Apparently Searchlight made a deal with Taylor for a feature film that she's supposedly either writing or has already written - so you're pretty spot on about her storytelling. Also, it's adorable how welcomed you feel by Swifties. You've got some very good insights and I predict you're only going to become a bigger Swiftie every time we see you. Don't worry about taking a course - your commenters will make sure you know everything about...EVERYTHING (myself included). SwiftLore is a blast and part of what makes being a Swiftie so fun. But my favorite thing, always, is watching non-fans/listeners/haters/etc. fall in love with Taylor's artistry and craft when they *actually* listen/watch. Subscribed! :)
Finally its here, been waiting for this. About the light, the warm color represents Sadie while the Blue tone represents Dylan. The fighting scene is a first/one time shot. All too well was released in 2012. When she wrote this song, the lenght was 10-12 minutes so she had to cut it down with Liz Rose, another songwriter... fast forward to 2021, when she had the opportunity to rerecord her albums, its her chance to release the 10 minute version and decided to create a short film. The storyline in the MV is inspired to her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal with 9 year age gap.
Thank you so much Ace! I can't wait to look into more about what happened now that I've seen this video.
@@Videoeditorreacts You missed her line “I am not good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes, ‘I get older but your lovers stay my age’ 🫣 He is currently dating a girl that when he started dating her she was Taylor’s age. They have been together 5 years. She was 20 when they started dating. He was 36, so the age gap has grown. What a burn 🔥
I think the people “Her” is looking at at the cocktail party are the friends of “Him” from the dinner party earlier. (That looks wrong grammatically, but you take my meaning-😊)
the scene in the car where he throws the keys at her actually can be mirrored with a pap shot of them where i think the story is he was on the phone with his publicist upset at the pap attention/media backlash of their relationship which adds such a deep emotional cut to that scene
"Uhh I'm too invested in this now. Explain yourself!!!" 😂 The silent scene shows the lyrics, "Maybe we got lost in translation"
This fight scene in the kitchen brings back bad memories for my own past relationships, but in a good way, like “hey, you got out of them! You are better now for it.” But I will say this is a perfect example of gaslighting and how I never realized how much ex’s gaslit me during arguments like this. So raw and organically done…I can totally see 20 year old Taylor and 29 year old Jake having this exact same fight in real life. FELLOW LADIES, (or men who’ve been in our places before) please know you are worth all the happiness and HEALTHY love you deserve and that you’re not insane for feeling the way you feel. No one can deny your own emotions and don’t let anyone, especially those you love, make you feel this way. It might be extra difficult and almost life ending if you leave them but you will be better for it…I promise!
Taylor said the scarf is a metaphor. He took her innocence
Also if you pay attention you can see Dylan is standing infront of a Gas Stove with a blue lighting, only means he's character is cold and he's Gas Lighting her, and on the other scene where they dance in a refrigerator light Dylan was standing infront of its with blue lightning while Sadie is infront of a Window that emitts yellow light which means, that Dylan is a Cold person while she's Warm person
Some lyrics that really paint the picture of who he was: “You were tossing me the car keys, “fuck the patriarchy” keychain on the ground.” It’s almost as if he has put on a facade that he respected women but continued to disrespect her (I.e throwing her the car keys and making her pick them up instead of giving them to her) Another was “when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones,” which is a slang New York term that describes wealthy people who pretend to not be wealthy to appear relatable and hip. This song is about Jake Gyllenhaal, which checks out. Another song that was written about her relationship with Jake is “I Bet You Think About Me ft. Chris Stapleton.” I highly recommend putting it on your list of videos to react to! It has much more humor…but still has amazing editing. :)
Amazing! Thank you so much for this info! Good catch on those lyrics! I’ll make sure to look at that video soon!
Taylor would be so flattered to hear you say that you felt like you shouldn't be there during the argument because that's exactly the stuff she's going for
me too. Taylor swift fans now. cool.
I suggest you watch I Bet You Think About Me, it's kind of a follow-up after the break up, it's also from the Red album. It's a beautiful video, I think you'll enjoy the use of the colors. And I just want to say that being a swiftie since I was 15 years old, I watched pretty much every step of Taylor's career and seeing people discover how much of a genius she is it warms my heart. ❤
I (as other swifties did to) would recommend checking out the lyrics and paying closer attention to them because they are fucking amazing, i would also recommend checking out the genius annotations because they are quite good at giving context and all Not only do the visuals keep one interested and captivated but the lyrics definitely do to like the entire songs (as far as i know) only consists of 4 chords, but it does not seem repetitive at all which is just concerning i believe
I don't know what to say since other people have already cleared up everything you were curious about and recommended the BTS. So I guess I'll say - what a nice video. I'm obviously not Taylor but hearing her work get praised makes me so happy because we, as her fans, relate to her music on a very deep level. She really works so hard to get everything perfect and pours her soul into everything she does. I can't wait for her original movie tbh.
Thank you so much pearl! Ya, if her movie is anything like these videos I have seen so far.. It's going to be amazing! I am seeing how her music can relate to so many people. It's so deep and meaningful. She knows how to write some hard hitting words for sure.
The red hair symbolizes the Red Album which is the Album that the song All Too Well is on. Also the book “All Too Well” symbolizes the story that’s within the song because Taylor is a storyteller.
THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS
you were talking about tones basically she's warm and "sunshine" while he's cool and "blue" sometimes when they're together he's cast under a warm tone but he's usually during the whole thing closer to the blue lights and everything, in the kitchen the blue light was near where he was standing, when they were dancing in the kitchen he was on the side of the refrigerator light which was blue while she was near that of the window, and at the end she switches of the warm cause basically he dimmed it and left her with some "blues"
I absolutely love the use of light in this. It's so well done and represents them perfectly! Great catch!
Love you're reaction ❤
You may enjoy the behind the scenes, making of this short film. It shows her directing, editing, etc. I think its on KZhead. Its interesting. Glad you are enjoying it. the age difference was deliberate. Taylor was 20 and the guy was 28 I think so the age difference between Sadie Sink and Dylan was purposeful to reflect that. I do think she has a new short film coming out in a few weeks to correlate with her re-recorded album Speak Now.
about the break up scene, Taylor said they were going to include the dialogue of either the fight scene or the breakup scene, they shot both and at the ended went with the fight scene, I'm still waiting for the extended edition, although you'd assume the reason for the breakup was "age difference" "you said if we had been closer in age maybe it would've been fine"
That was a wonderful masterclass in filmmaking! Thanks so much for this detailed analysis of the genius of Taylor Swift behind the camera, as well as her musical/lyrical genius. She's recently signed to direct a feature film -- no surprise!
Thank you so much Rachel! Wow! I can't wait to see it!
I love seeing your authentic enjoyment of her MVs and why they’re so brilliant from the production standpoint
This song is so great!
Its my favourite song from her
She's redhead just for this music video so you easily connect taylor to her younger version/sadie sink. Like, hey, this is meant to be the same person btw
Love this. Your reaction is all of us. Lol
I am ALL TOO UNWELL Is what i am thinking about everytime i watch the atw short film...
Hmmm wow that's a good catch and observation. Totally agree!
Thank you, so well done! You have such a good eye for detail
Great job - I enjoyed it!! I think you've figured out that we will all love you as long as you understand (and admire) Taylor!!
Glad you loved it!
I think you should read the lyrics to understand what went down. They won't explicitly say that on the short film.
True I was gonna say that he should hear or read the lyrics too to understand the song
We love the appreciation for taylor's work 👏 your videos are great, you explain your views about editing in a way that's easy to catch up for people who, like me, don’t know much about it 😊
Its 1:30 am and i was about to finally head to bed but looks like im going to be sleepy at work tomorrow coz there is no way i can resist this I have been eagerly checking for days ! YAY
Lol- oh no! I'm so sorry to keep you up!! I'm so happy you enjoy the content though!! Have a great day at work!
@@Videoeditorreacts no sorries my dude, I'm so happy YOU enjoy the content that is Taylor swift hsha
Enjoying your reactions very much. I remember Taylor saying the blue shades in this film represent him (cold) and the orange warm shades represent her. Kinda sums up the relationship. You really should watch how she put this together and directed it. Maybe we could all watch it together and get your reaction
Breaks my heart evertime
taylor actually said that she made the 2 characters have different lighting - girl was warm, guy was cool. at the end, the girl didn't have the guy but she was forever changed by this relationship - hence the warm & cool tones in the older version of her's apartment.
"i wonder if this really happened" welcome to the the mindset of every swiftie
I fell in love with your interpretation of the video based on the lighting and editing. And so I also fell even more in love with the song and the video. You can see how much you appreciate the work behind it. Love it 💕
The book represents the writing of the song All Too Well that became a big hit and a favorite of her fandom is my interpretation. And her hair some is red because Sadie in the video is red hair. She chose Sadie for the role for the younger Taylor .Jake was 32 yrs old I think at the time and she was 20. Love your reaction !
she freaking amazing
Some of the scenes in the later part of the video are shown as flashbacks - the scenes at the fancy party and the birthday party are two times when he stood her up. She was waiting for him at the fancy party and he never showed, and he never showed up for her 21 birthday. That was when they were still dating, but shown in the video after he ended it. Apparently Jake tends to like dating younger women and it seems like he liked keeping their relationship almost as a secret. She had red hair at the end because Sadie has red hair. Taylor's hair is blonde. She didn't actually write a book. That part was symbolic for the songs Taylor writes - which are like stories in themselves.
The iPhone that appears during the scene was the same at the time they were dating (2011-2012)
Every Taylor Swift reaction video you post.....I will watch!!
i’ve watched this short film at least 10 times but still learned so much from u that i didn’t notice before. great vid as usual 😁😁
Thank you so much ashna! I appreciate it!!
loved your react! I’m already waiting to see what will come next 💗
Thank you so much Sara!
Very much enjoyed this different take on a reaction video and learned quite a bit! This, I feel, is one of the greatest written songs of all time! Taylor Swift is a genius at everything she does...
I’ve watched three or four of your reaction videos so far. Just subscribed. What I love about them the most is that you teach me about filmmaking in the process of your videos. It’s fascinating to hear what you think about different things as well as to better understand what they’re doing and why you think something is well done. Some of the terminology use could be explained so that I don’t have to look it up on Google. But I’ll take everything as it is because I really am enjoying learning about the filmmaking process from your videos so thank you.
you pointed out so much lighting to me im mad at myself for not noticing haha. especially since blue and gold/wam are big color themes in taylor's songs across the board!
Thank you for this. ❤
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!!
You noticing the little things, like him dropping her hand and how you focalized on that 👏🤌, you really have a keen eye. Thanks for these!
Thanks for the info
Excellent job. You gave me a whole new appreciation for this video. It was lovely. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!!
