Taylor Swift is adeptly ushering in Sad Girl Autumn with a new version of “All Too Well.” She recorded the rendition with her “besties” Aaron Dessner of the National and Jonathan Low.
“One of the saddest songs I’ve ever written just got sadder,” Swift posted on Twitter, and it isn’t hyperbole. She said she drove to Long Pond Studios in upstate New York to track the song with Dessner and Low. Her 2020 Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary was also set at the isolated studio in the woods.
Like the track that appears on Red (Taylor’s Version), the song is an extended 10-minute poignant reflection on a heart-wrenching breakup. The shorter original track appeared on 2012’s Red. The new take earns its Sad Girl stripes with its soft piano beginnings buoying her hushed opening vocal, which receives touches of lush layering accentuating the emotional lyrics as the song progresses.
The latest version of the track follows the release of the epic Swift-directed All Too Well short film starring Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.
Earlier in the week, Swift dropped the video for “I Bet You Think About Me,” which was directed by Blake Lively.
Two other opening ceremonies took place in Canada and Mexico, marking the first time the tournament has been co-hosted across multiple countries
The new record marks the DJ and producer's eighth full-length effort.
Kanye West is currently going on a World Tour, and with "Gemini Season" making the rounds, the artist has a new album dropping.
"My initial instinct was I didn't know where it was all going, but I just knew I needed to be in the studio"
The song is set to feature on a currently-unannounced new album, expected to drop in 2027
The music legend also said that he only expected people to care about the band for “a couple of years, if we’re lucky”
