Looks like I’m gonna need to dive into the Taylor Swift Vs. John Mayer discography…

It is speculated that this one is about Jake Gyllenhaal. I believe the 10 min version of the song came about because she let it slip in an interview that she actually wrote a 10 min version of the song and had to shorten it for the Red album and then Swifties went crazy and she ended up not only releasing it when she did the re-record but also turning it into a short film.

To be honest, this song never felt like 10 minutes to me. It always goes by SO fast for me when I listen to it and it’s crazy. Even the first time I listened to it, i didn’t even realize how long the song is

To me the most impressive thing about the 10 minute version is that it's still just all story. When I think of other 10+ minute songs, there's usually a lot of time taken up in intros or guitar solos or something else. This is 10 minutes of nonstop, meticulous storytelling. And it still just feels like 3 minutes.

She was ashamed for how badly she let him treat her. She was ashamed for how much she put up with and all the ways she compromised herself to try to make him stay. She was ashamed for all the love she felt for him for a man who turned around acted like their relationship never even happened. Also for all the work she put in just to be tossed scraps of attention from a man who treated her body like a woman’s but disrespected her mind like she was a child. She tells you why she was ashamed the entire song 🥲

"You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath" is my one my favorite lyrics by Taylor, and I love that it made you smile :)

Jake had broken up with Taylor who was devastated about the way it was done. Taylor was angry and hurt and during a band practice she (unplanned) started playing and writing the song. The band clued in immediately, backed off and let her just go at it until she was finished. That was the version of All to Well that was the original 10 minute version. At the end I believe it was Taylor’s mom Andrea that went to the sound board and asked if they had recorded the song. Sound man luckily said yes. Because of that recording we got to hear All to Well which might never have been released if not for that recording.

If you’re a fan of John Mayer it might be interesting for you to check out dear John from the speak now album, which she wrote about him in around 2009, when she was 19 and he was 32 and also the song would’ve could’ve should’ve from the midnights album, in which she reminisces and contemplates on that relationship 13 years later (her lucky number) when she’s finally 32 Amazing lyricism in both! FYI, these songs might make you change your perspective on him

“All Too Well” proved that a song does not have to be just 3 or 4 minutes. It broke “American Pie”’s record of longest #1 song ever.

Okay but can we talk about the production YOU are delivering with these videos? Seriously, it feels like you're inside a blockbuster movie set. I'm obsessed with that light!

I recommend My Tears Ricochet. Its speculated to be about her "breakup" with her record label and the man that was like a father figure that betrayed her. Listen to the long pond session. The song is so beautiful. If you enjoyed Tolerte It this will be right up your alley.

keep the taylor content coming pls, as a swiftie i keep sending your videos to my brother who is also studying music production and has a similar point of view when it comes to taylor as you do. it is very interesting and pleasing to see people open their minds to her talent and not just her most radio played songs.

you definitely have to check out some of her performances from the long pond studio sessions! she played through the entire folklore album with jack antonoff & with aaron dessner (from the national), who she wrote/produced the album with, remotely, during lockdown. they also discuss the process of writing each song before playing them. must watch performances are exile ft. bon iver, my tears ricochet, cardigan, mad woman & peace!

I've never really been a swiftie, in fact your last video really turned me onto a couple of songs by her, but when she released this version I saw her perform it on SNL and she 100000% hooked me. I'm obsessed with this song, makes me feel like I'm re-living a relationship I had with Jake Gyllenhaal that I somehow remember vividly, how is that possible?? hahaha

It upsets me that her record label told her that she couldn’t have a 10 minute song on a record. If you ask anyone from the 60’s and 70’s they were all writing 10+ minutes songs and some of them were radio hits.

The main accomplishment of this song is that it's a 10 minute song filled with lyrics from start to finish and there aren't any repeating parts and the song is still very melodic and enjoyable. Different transitions keep you engaged without sounding jarring at any point. I think this song changed the hearts and minds of a lot of people towards Taylor.

As others have mentioned, this was about Jake Gyllenhaal, but the most scathing song she’s written about John Mayer is “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve.” It’s a banger, highly recommend.

Her ALL TOO WELL short film really adds so much with the visuals.

Taylor doesn't want her fans hating on the subjects of her songs. She writes songs to help her process her feelings and what happens in her life. I think she and John Meyer are on good terms these days. Not all of her songs are about relationships though. And not all of them are about her life either. But it's fun for fans to speculate on these things. Taylor also plays with her fans by scattering Easter Eggs around her music/music videos - and her social media posts. She's really good at that stuff. I really like her music, for the lyrics, but also for how they sound. I think she, and her producers over the years, has done a great job of marrying her story telling with music that enhances it. I also like how she uses her voice. She may not sing like Adele or Ariana Grande, but she doesn't need to. Her voice is perfect for her songs and I actually like that she's not a perfect singer. Her sound is unique to her.

If you're a John Mayer fan you should definetly react to "Dear John" and "Would've, could've, shoud've" since both is speculated to be about their relationship. Would be perfect to do them both in a video together, since they both give two different perspectives on the relationship. One right after, and one 13 years after.

As someone said, All Too Well (10 minutes version) is rumored to be about Jake Gyllenhaal. You can react or watch on your own the 14min short film Taylor directed herself of the song ! The story is painted very vividly from her own view. It'll maybe answer your question about the "shame" lines. She was very young compared to him, always trying to appeared perfect, as a "never-needy jewel" as she sings. But he treated her with hot and cold moves, was being casually cruel, not coming to her 21st birthday for example, hence the shame to still come back to him after everything he did. At least that's what I gathered from these lines. Taylor actually won a VMA for best video with the short film. It's worth the watch imo :) Anyways, great reaction! I think you haven't find THE Taylor's song that will inevitably pull you in ahah. If you like John Mayer, you should check out "Would've Could've Should've", it's about him and it's more on the pop-rock side of her music. Oh and about the age difference, she was 20-21 when they dated and he was 29-30, so a 10 years gap. When the song came out, he was 37+ dating a 25 years old who he met when she was 20 I believe. So yeah, his lovers stay Taylor's age. 😅

There is a live SNL version of this that is phenomenal.

I love that you chose this one, and you're right that it's her story telling we like. This particular song gets me every time. It starts out like she's remembering a relationship, but then she gets angrier and she says "it was rare, YOU remember it all too well" and suddenly it's about how he destroyed it, not her. Very relatable. Thank you for giving it a try!

Came here so early! Most of Red album is about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, if you want to hear songs about her time with John Meyer I recommend Ours, Dear John and Would've Could've Should've, all of them are great in terms of storytelling

Her music does something to our hearts. It's so touching beautifully sung. Wow perfection

She's really not only a great singer and songwriter, she's a storyteller ❤

I think Ronan would be a good one to react to. It is a sad one… but it’s so beautiful. A mom wrote a blog about her son, and Taylor took it and made it into a song. She gave the mom song writing credit on it. All proceeds from that song go to charity. It’s one of my favorites from her, definitely worth checking out

you should watch the short film of All Too Well, it kinda gave us an overview what happened to the relationship really on a visual perspective. btw really enjoyed your reactions alot

The shame was of lowering herself to being used because she loved him so much. She never thought she would settle for that kind of treatment. All of us have felt that at one time.

I'm so here for the Taylor content. I do hope you keep digging into her discography, and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Trust the Swifties to take you on your own personal journey. I would love to see your reaction to some of her best live performances from the Reputation Tour (Ready For It, I Did Something Bad, and DON'T BLAME ME). She's truly best live, and I think you'd enjoy the production value of Taylor at full force.

You should definitely check out “you’re losing me”. It’s very heart wrenching and sad.

She made this song into a short film and it's amazing! It has Dylan O'Brien from the Maze Runner movies and Sadie Sink from Stranger Things.

I suggest you react to Dear John, she not only references him by name and lyrics but also musically in how It was produced and the instruments.

The thing I love about this song is how lyrically aligned Taylor's experiences are with so many of us, you can pick lines like "You kept me like a secret, I kept you like an oath" and apply them to our life story. Anyway, My Tears Ricochet is haunting, Vigilante Shit is deliciously revengeful and somehow i just love how Betty is a song from a guy called James's perspective

The reason that songs tend to be 3-4 minutes is because record labels believe radio won't play longer songs. With the song Hey Jude, which is 7 minutes or there abouts was a fight because the record labels didn't believe radios would play it. John Lennon said they will if it's us.

The original version hooked me into being a Swiftie, now that i've heard her entire catalogue (everyday) i still think this is her best song to date, this song is her Magnum Opus ❤

I don't know if you're planning on doing any more of these (because it was really interesting to hear your thoughts on this song!) but since you liked this song, I recommend checking out "Would've, Should've, Could've" (from Midnights 3am Edition), "Suburban Legends (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)" (from 1989 (Taylor's Version)), "right where you left me - bonus track" (evermore (deluxe version)), "marjorie" (evermore), "The Archer" (Lover), and "my tears ricochet - the long pond studio sessions" (folklore - the long pond studio sessions).

I recommend "Dear John (live version)" (pay attention to lyrics though) also, "Would've, Could've, Should've" both about John Mayer, this one was supposed to have been about Jake Gyellenhall.

“Dear John” and “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” are great for a combo reaction. Same relationship in different points in time. “My tears ricochet” from Folklore ‘Long Pond Studio Sessions’ is rumored to be about the fallout with her previous label because of her masters, and the betrayal she felt from the owner, who knew her since she was 15. Other recommendations: exile ft. Bon Iver from folklore, right where you left me from evermore (the lyrics and tempo of that song are amazing), and production-wise, I think “vigilante shit” from midnights is a very surprising song coming from Taylor

SO HAPPY you're getting into Taylor! I would recommend anything from her albums folklore and evermore they have some of her best writing. My personal favorites: this is me trying, ivy, right where you left me, my tears ricochet, champagne problems

Subscribed! Listen to “Clean” (1989 TV), “My Tears Ricochet”, “Mirrorball”, “This Is Me Trying”, “Invisible String” & “The Lakes” (Folklore), “Right Where You Left Me” (Evermore)… just a few 😂💜✨🦋 If your sisters didn’t make a Swifty of you yet, WE will. I appreciate your candor and knowledge. I like the way you speak about the production of the music. I am also happy to read (in the comments) you know who Aurora is! She’s another of my faves ✨🧚‍♀️✨ Now, get busy on Folklore 😂🥳🧩🧚‍♀️💜

Jake Gyllenhall. A lot of the songs on her Red album are about him. The John Meyer songs are on her previous album, Speak Now. Most notably, “Dear John” which is worth a listen. Since you’re trying to check out newer Taylor, I would suggest “Cardigan” from Folklore. It’s really special.

One thing you should know about this song is she was with her band/producers in the studio to work on other things, but she was so upset about the relationship she ended up just singing this song. Her band slowly joined her, and it ended up being around 10 minutes. Her producer was recording it all and that's where this came from. I find it really impressive that this song just poured out of her.

This song is just perfect 💜 I love the lyrics, the way she tells the story it makes me feel so connected to it, it’s incredible

The lyric I'm most proud of is from "All Too Well": "And you call me up again just to break me like a promise / So casually cruel in the name of being honest." That was something I came up with while ranting during a soundcheck. I was just playing these chords over and over onstage and my band joined in and I went on a rant. Those were some of the lines I thought of. [...] I was going through a really hard time then, and my band joined in playing, and one of the first things that I came up with, just, like, spat out, was "And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest. - Swift on the beginnings of writing "All Too Well" In an interview with Good Morning America, Swift said that the song was "the hardest to write on the album", saying: "it took me a really long time to filter through everything I wanted to put in the song without it being a 10-minute song, which you can't put on an album. I wanted a story that could work in the form of a song and I called my co-writer Liz Rose and said, 'Come over, we've gotta filter this down,' and it took me a really long time to get it."[6] Rose also said that the song was originally "10, 12 or 15 minutes long" before cutting down to "the important pieces".[2] In a later interview, Rose described "All Too Well" as originally being "probably a 20-minute song when [Swift] called me."[7] Even after cutting it down, the song is the longest track on the album, clocking in at five minutes and twenty-eight seconds (5:28). In a 2020 interview on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums podcast, Swift later confirmed that the original version was about 10 minutes long and also revealed that it was explicit.[8] The song's studio recording was produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman.[9] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Liz Rose explained how "All Too Well" came to be, stating "When we did 'All Too Well,' I hadn't heard from her in awhile. She hadn't really been writing." After receiving a call from Swift asking her to collaborate on the song, Rose explained that "[Swift] had a ''lot'' of information. I just let her go. She already had a melody and she started singing some words, and I started writing things down, saying, 'Ok, let's use this, let's use that." Rose later stated "It was the most emotional, in-depth song we've ever written."[10] The song's secret message in Red's liner notes is "MAPLE LATTES".[11][12][13] The first of four Target-exclusive deluxe editions of Swift's 2019 album Lover contained her old diary, in which some of the scrapped lyrics of "All Too Well" can be found: "There we are again / You're crying on the phone / Realized you lost the one real thing you've ever known" was the original bridge of the song, while the original opening lines were "I walked through the door with you / The air was cold / Pictures on the fireplace, you're showing me around." Additional original lyrics included "There we are again / When you blew the candle out / Took this blazing love and steered it right into the ground / Running scared, I was there," and "You'll mail back my things in a box with no note / Except for that scarf from the very first week / Yeah you keep it in your drawer 'cause it smells like me."[14][15]

YES YES YES YES!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO YESSSSS! edit: nooo, it’s most likely *Jake Gyllenhaal* because he was about 9 years older than her and he missed her 21st birthday, hence the part that says “But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin' you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one" “ it’s not really confirmed but-all too well the 10 minute ver really gives key details that it is

This is my bedtime song. I listen to it on YT Music and set my sleep timer to 30mins and it plays 3x. It's so soothing, relaxing, and comforting that I'm usually asleep before the first one ends. I love this song so damn much.

I have enjoyed these videos, thanks. I'm also someone with a new curiosity about Taylor for the first time, found you that way. Her lyricism is really something special. On that note I think it'd be cool if you paused and took a moment to note and reflect on really banger lines when one sticks out to you. I know your focus is production so do what you want of course 😅 but I'd enjoy hearing what they evoke for you, professionally or just as a human. She's an emotional marksman, so feel free to pause to shoot the shit when one of her arrows hits true.

evermore and folklore have out of this world lyrics and storytelling, her reputation album is just such cool production and overall more upbeat if you’d want to review something that won’t make your eyes sweat, and of course “dear john” paired with “would’ve could’ve should’ve” are 100% worth listening to if you’d be interested in her relationship with John Mayer when they were together at the ages of 19 and 32 !!

Hopefully you get to listen to either “You Are In Love” from 1989 Taylor’s Version or “Lavender Haze” from Midnights or maybe even the song “…Ready for it?” from Reputation. I think these two can offer some more variety into what Taylor’s musical soundscape can reach. Great Reaction vid, cheers to more!

My new favourite song. The lyrics are so heartfelt and cleverly crafted. The song unfolds like a series of diary entries during heartbreak.

Glad you came back to give her another shot!

The Masterpiece ❤ more Taylor Swift songs please ❤

Loving your Taylor Swift content. Will be back for more of you and Swift for sure.

Addicted to these!! It’s so good to see someone have an open mind and really connecting to the music that’s awesome, thank you☺️

Love these videos!! I think my tears ricochet is a must when listening to Taylor

I really appreciate the care.you take when you do these. I love that you don't pause the song and you try to pay careful attention to the lyrics and also I love your opinions on the production and melody. You are a gift!

The 10 version is actually the original version, that she shortened and then released. But then we got the full version on red Taylor’s version bc she told us about it in an interview

As a swiftie I love your knowledge about John I think it’s adorable

Your reactions to these songs make me teary eyed 😢 this song is so beautiful ❤❤❤

You are me. Did not care for TS for 20 years. When you have a 15 y.o. daughter, you start listening, and Dang, I'm off to the Eras Tour with my daughter. Since I heard Shake It Off, she has grown up ... musically and as a business woman. As an intellectual property attorney, her move to rerecord her music to own the rights ... just brilliant. So talented. As for the tradition of songs being 3-4 minutes, I'm pretty sure thats a relic of when we listened to music on the radio. A radio station would not play songs over 4.5 minutes. It messes up the commercial schedule. I hope the success of this song inspires more artists to do away with the 3 minute song. Some my favorite songs are up there in the 8-10 minute range: Guns N Roses (November Rain, Estranged), Live (Pillar of Davison), Oasis (Champagne Supernova), etc.

Highly recommend the live 10 minute SNL performance of All to Well, it's quite impressive, and also feels like only a couple of minutes have gone by when the song ends.

10:06 Taylor rewrote most of her songs because Big Machine Records didn’t grant her the rights to own the lyrics that she wrote. That’s why it says “Taylor’s Version”. She rewrote or added lyrics to the re-releases of songs which she now has ownership of. Also, I just became a Swifter myself. I read a lot about her and talked to friends who have always loved her. Here’s a couple of thoughts. She wrote, produced, and released folklore and evermore during the pandemic (with Jack Antonoff). I think that’s why both albums are so heartfelt and heavy ~ because of the lockdown. There’s a documentary on Disney+ where they talk through the writing process and she discusses her inspiration for each song. She weaves threads and stories about different characters throughout her albums that follow the theme/stages of various relationships. You might like Invisible String from folklore. It’s a happier vibe.

I'm new to seeing your reactions ( through V Tiny Desk), and I really appreciate your respectful visual framing, so that the artist performance fills most of the space and we can enjoy it with you and with your commentary. This is actually my first exposure to seriously listening to Taylor Swift, and I am amazed that it took me so long. Thank you for the invitation to explore more of her music. As a longtime fan of Joni Mitchell, I hear her strongly in this song, and the storytelling and rhyme scheme are just perfection here.

here's a list of songs you should do next : 1. you're on your own, kid 2. my tears ricochet 3. Illicit Affairs 4. back to December 5. Marjorie 6. mastermind I am sure you are going to love these songs very much...

The painting behind you blew my mind! I'm a swiftie and this is the second video I watched of yours, the first one was you reacting to 6 songs by her. I'll watch every reaction of yours if they are about Taylor :D So please, go for it! I recommend you listen to them by album... :)

Enjoying these videos of you discovering Taylor Swift, she's a very interesting artist to follow I think for many reasons

Hi there. First off, thank you for listening to Taylor and making these videos of you listening to Taylor for our entertainment. Though there are many songs to recommend, three immediately came to my mind. This is me trying - a song about addiction and struggling to stay sober. Marjorie - a song about her late grandmother Dear reader - an underrated song written to her past self about how to navigate the challenges of celebrity and being in the industry

Before the Internet and streaming services, singles were released for radio; advertisers and radio stations deemed a single should be no more than three or four minutes long.

You should definitely watch/listen to the long pond studio sessions! The performances are beautiful, and includes really great insights into how the songs were made.

I found this song 2 weeks ago, and now this song is on repeat. beautiful outro.

My all time favorite song to play on piano and sing to. Always raises my vibe. Much more respect to her as an artist learning to play her songs.

You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath Such a cutting line but so simple. She’s just an expert with language.

Please listen and record your reaction to Dear John (taylors version), also coming from a John Mayer and Taylor Swift fan.

Enjoyed your reaction!

Her mini movie for this song fills in the gaps. 😢

The accepted length of a pop song has a lot to do with the early limitations of vinyl, if I’m not mistaken. It was a huge deal for the Beatles to cram all of Hey Jude onto an A side of a 7” record, that was considered an engineering feat at the time.

For a song with a very, very simple and repetitive chord progression, she manages to keep you engaged and interested with little variations in the melody (and of course, her storytelling). It really does not feel like 10 minutes. I always recommend "Cornelia Street" from Live from City of Lover (Paris). "Death By a Thousand Cuts" from the same concert is also phenomenal.

she's amazing

Loving the taylor content. Taylor is an amazing story teller, I recommend Right Where You Left Me and Nobody No Crime from evermore.

3-4 minute songs work well for radio plays so most songs go with this format…as for the song itself the swifties will fill you out but yes this is a lovely song

we swifties don't care either trust me, you can stan john mayer all you want ✨

I appreciate the candidness of this reaction a lot. I would be very curious to hear your reaction to Wonderland (Taylor's Version) from 1989 (Taylor's Version) or coney island feat The National from Evermore because those are two of my favorite songs of hers in storytelling unless you want more Red content cause then I'd recommend The Moment I Knew (Taylor's Version). Her storytelling and ability to paint vivid pictures is and always has been one of my most favorite things about her as a lifelong fan (since the age of 10/11) so I appreciate your appreciation.

Watch the short film and her interview on how it came to be. It’s truly incredible. It was a one take that she wrote with her band during one of her tour practices from my understanding. She sang this in the middle of her ERAS show and it was amazing. Next up, look into her vault tracks, how they came to be and why fans are fanatical. 1989 has some amazing vault tracks.

Honestly I think the they limited what she could put on her albums, and then sold her music to a bully who wanted to trade her old masters for new albums they’d own..) So I’m glad she’s taking back her music, as she wrote it, and they were limiting where she could sing it. Her new albums, she decides what goes on it, and most of it is brilliant. They are songs of love, life, and loss. Of claiming your space, and family. (Song for her mom, Best Day, & Marjorie for her Grandma. One for a child who died). They are songs women get, they are our feelings and experiences.. we all have a 10 minute All Too Well song in our lives. Men have made songs 3.5 minutes because that’s their attention span. Women love the details. We want the emotional connection. We never want the song to end, so we play those 3 minute songs over and over. 3 generations of women in my family (9-63) went to see Eras together, and it was amazing.

You should definitely react to Would’ve could’ve should’ve! Other favourites are my tears ricochet and bigger than the whole sky!

On long road trips I play this song a few times and it does make time go by really fast

I absolutely love Taylor swifts music and ability to write such amazing lyrics as a song writer myself she really inspires me for my own music

Nice!All too well is one of her best songs. It is the longest global #1 song in history, dethroning American Pie which had reigned for 50 years. She sent Don McLean flowers when she went #1. Its ok to like John Mayer, he is a great songwriter. She did supposedly write some songs about him, with him, and he about her. He was a very experienced 32-33 yr old and she was a young 19 yr old. At bit sketch. Either way. If you wanted to explore that…… Dear John she wrote at 19 and is on her Speak Now album. He responded with a song about her, which unfortunately is not very good comparatively, called Paper Doll. Didn’t really hear anything about him until 2022 and her Midnights album. midnights is an album of songs that were written about nights that have kept her up in the middle of the night. So, one song revisited her feelings looking back at age 32, the age that John was when he dated her, and how she feels about that relationship/age difference now. That song is called Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve.

If you want the ultimate mind f$@j, watch the short film of All too Well Taylor's Version. Something about the music, the film, it just hits differently!

Isaac I'm genuinely so excited for you to find out more about her music, magnetic lyricism and genius mind. Some recent songs I'd recommend are my tears ricochet, coney island, ivy, exile, peace, hoax. Oldies but goldies: haunted, the best day, last kiss, innocent, enchanted, long live, dear john, mary's song, I know places. And of course I'd love to get an in depth reputation reaction. Hope you enjoy the ride!

One cool thing about the song is that even the way the melody sounds show the story and the timeline. At 5:59 where you thought the song was ending it goes suddenly from them fighting and a line about her turning 21, to being quiet. He actually broke up with her on her birthday and so the pause in the song is almost like a moment oh shock and then it continues with her recovering from the break up and remembering. It is shown beautifully in the short film where the movie is divided into parts called "the first crack" and so on. Great video and great song!

Btw, Isaac, I think you should check out a Norwegian singer called Aurora. Her song Runaway was actually what inspired Billie Eilish to become a singer. Aurora is a very political activist, she’s always talking about climate change and important things like that. Her voice is outstanding and you might wanna experience it live not only because it showcases her vocals but also how she performs. It Happened Quiet - Live at The Current is a good start 💜

Eu indicaria em um próximo react da taylor, se houver kkkk, a música Exile que tem a participação do Bon Iver. Na música eles vão intercalar suas visões sobre o mesmo relacionamento que acabou, é a minha música favorita do Folklore e acho que é uma das melhores faixas dela.

A masterpiece

I think only TS could pull this kind off. Music wise and she is just so nice. Wow Taylor 😍

All Too Well is possibly the best song released this century. It's a songwriting savant at the peak of her power....

the songs she’s written about John Mayer so far are dear John, ours, the story of us, would’ve could’ve should’ve and I think foolish one. I could be missing a few. I think the most gut wrenching one is would’ve could’ve should’ve.

Do more Taylor swift reactions!! She’s so amazing, you will not be disappointed

This song is about Jake Gyllenhaal. Her mother told the story (in an interview) about how she played it for her band one day at rehearsals, and that was the first time anyone had heard it. It had to be shortened for the first Red album, but this was the original version. When she re-released Red, she finally let us hear what the song always was, and was meant to be- this amazing 10 minute version.
