About the Song: The Legendary Full Story
"All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) [From The Vault]" is more than a song; it's a cultural event. For years, fans speculated about a longer, unabridged version of the original 2012 track from the album Red. In 2021, with the release of Red (Taylor's Version), Taylor Swift finally unveiled the mythical 10-minute version, and it exceeded all expectations. Penned entirely by Swift, the song is a raw, sprawling, and incredibly detailed narrative of a short-lived but impactful romance. Its vivid imagery and devastatingly specific lyrics have led critics and fans to hail it as her magnum opus and one of the greatest breakup songs ever written.
