Therapist Reacts To: All Too Well (10 Minute Version) by Taylor Swift!

[@Sofia-fp4mw]

I saw someones comment on another video that the "fuck the patriarchy" keychain suggests that he was a feminist or trying to come across as one, but he throws the keys on the ground so she has to get down to get them instead of just giving them to her directly. So basically he was a feminist just for public. I found this really intresting. Again not my thought, all credit to the writer of the comment.

[@lumarocha1847]

Wow didn’t realize this until now

[@allisonhunter1063]

That's amazing I've literally never thought of it that way I just assumed it was like you know like when you toss somebody to the car keys and they don't always catch them or like my mom she is always afraid that she'll hit me and hurt me or something I'm 32 LOL but when she tosses me the car keys she tosses them like at my feet next to me so she doesn't accidentally hit me with them cuz she has a wild pitch and it's just bad LOL. So that's how I always took that line was like he tossed her the keys and you know they just like fell on the ground like she didn't catch them but that makes so much more sense that he intentionally threw them on the ground and was like here you go like wow that's f***** up.

[@nealm6764]

@@allisonhunter1063 Oh no, it was a big conspiracy of him to undermine feminism, not just a spur of the moment jerk thing because he was angry at something else and wasn't focused on her. seriously I doubt he even thought a second about it, let alone pan it as some grand gesture to put her in her place. He just tossed them and they came up short.

[@laurafritch658]

I've also wondered if there was something to the fact that she didn't catch them...like the stereotype that girls can't catch and she felt stupid that she dropped them. The F the patriarchy part plays into this interpretation too.

[@ninawoltmann]

@@nealm6764 totally agree, although I think the key throwing is more of a lyrical metaphor and not a real thing he did with full consideration. I also read a comment saying the 'fuck the patriarchy' ob the ground just metaphorically means that he pretends to stand behind these values but (if he gets mad) he really doesn't care about them at all and just 'tosses them tobthe ground'. So I guess its more about the interpretation than what he really did and/or intended with it :)

[@michelle6337]

"The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel, whose shine reflect on you." Is SUCH a great line and is definitely one of my favorite things she's ever written. It is poetic and brutal and cuts straight to the core of that type of man who seeks out beautiful young women to make them look good, but as soon as they start acting "needy" they're out the door. I've always loved All Too Well, but that line really elevated it even more which I didn't think possible.

[@tessarenae4712]

“You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath” everyone says they were only together for 3 months but this almost reads to me like they were together longer but he kept it secret. 😢

[@xgise]

I'm confused by this line now that I think about it. Like, she said he kept her like a secret but everyone knew they were dating, I mean he introduced her to his family and friends, there were pictures of them together from very early on in the relationship, if we asume the scarf from the song is the one she is wearing on that photo and she had that scarf the very first week like she says in the song and ended up losing it after they went to her sisters house, then it doesn't leave much space for the theory about them dating for longer if we consider the time frame described in the song and the fact that Jake was photographed wearing that scarf some time later. So I don't really understand what she means when she says he kept her like a secret and "nobody had to know"

[@tiannemcgee646]

So i think it had to have started before they “announced it” and made it public. Maybe he just was saying we’re just friends for awhile meanwhile the feelings for her were real and continuing to get stronger. And she knew he liked her. Spending time with her, as her friend, knowing he was interested in her. He kept her around….secretly. So like a secret meanwhile she kept him like an oath. She fell hard for him. The trip to Maggie’s house she mentions it was fall. Fall in upstate New York starts in September. The “very first week”… there’s no way. They had to have spent time together enough before they drove up to meet his family. Then after that trip they split up and he called her back up after “3 months in the grave” of the relationship being over to try again ya da ya da ya da then he no showed on her bday.

[@tiannemcgee646]

And also….it’s said the scarf is symbolic to her virginity. Sounds like while on that trip she gave it up to him. The next line after the oath line is sacred prayer and we’d swear to remember it all to well. Like they talked about it and how much it meant to her for her to give herself to him and to him he yes’d her into bed then once he got what he wanted he decided she’s too needy and not what he wants. So the drive back down to the city she was sitting there smitten and envisioning their future desperate for him to turn to her and say he loves her and he was thinking of his way out.

[@keymeko95]

I just assumed they probably were on and off without people knowing

[@keymeko95]

Also like she was 19 but she mentions turning 21 and wanting him there and we are never getting back together also suggests that somehow he might have been still feeding her feelings in some ways

[@meghaname9271]

The line "If we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine" and "I'll get older but your lovers stay my age" hints that he continues to treat the new women (after Taylor) like how he treated her. This is how emotional abusive partners are, they continue to remain the same.

[@lovingherwasgay]

And that their age was never really the problem in the first place! If it was, he wouldn't keep on dating people much younger than him. So whatever problem she had with Taylor (probably that she didn't live up to the idealized version of her he had), he couldn't even be honest about it, he used the age as an excuse for dumping her.

[@Desperica]

The most chilling thing to me is that John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal were less than a year apart. She barely had time to blink after the first slimeball, and then here comes Jacob with his maple lattes and his dumb keychain. So much empathy for Baby Taylor, and so much awe for her songwriting ability. ❤❤❤

[@kakuspis]

here comes Jacob with his maple lattes and his dumb keychain is the best beat thing I've ever heard. Thank you!

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful song ever

[@daisy2499]

I think it’s her “magnum opus” up to this point, at least. She’s absolutely brilliant though. I love Taylor.

[@4ever-a-Swiftie]

[@C-Iris]

The outro in this version gives me the feeling of closure or reminiscence of the relationship as opposed to the 5min version where the heartbreak feels much more recent.

[@brucebrown3837]

The song about her 21st birthday that J*ke missed was "The Moment I Knew"

[@ryansmith2015]

when i think of the crumpeled piece of paper line I think of how in like my fourth grade class our teacher had us take a piece of paper that was great and crumple it and then try to flatin it back up but it never fully goes back to straight so I think like those like words and feelings always stay with you even if you don't want them to.

In elementary school they did a contest with a few students to see who could get all the toothpaste out of the tube. They then asked them to put it back in. It was then a segway to explain it's easy to let hurtful words out of your mouth but much difficult to take them back.

A twin flame is when a soul splits into two and then two people emerge into separate lives only to find each other later or in another lifetime. It can be romantic or any other relationship but either way, meeting again is meant to teach a life lesson, often difficult, bc the bond will never end.

[@marielarvizu9761]

This song is a playbook of what love bombing is all about in a relationship with a narcissist. Thanks for doing this video ❤

[@FuseboxFan-zf2nk]

I am a 73-year-old man. This song touches my heart and reminds me so much of several relationships. (One in particular.) And just of loss and longing. I cry to this song. I remember it all too well. I might be ok but I am not fine at all. My tears help me heal and know how much I was hurt. I was there.

[@kakeen1977]

"when I was an old cardigan" My mom always used to say "don't become the old shoe under the bed to your man".... that's when a man is completely taking you for granted I think there was a man taking her for granted, ignoring her, neglecting her. He came along and said "hey you're special, you're not JUST special, but you're my favorite" and he pulled her out from under the bed.

[@gend4926]

This song kills me. It's just about being sure - probably incorrectly - that it's really love, and that he's just SCARED by the intensity of his feelings ("I was there, it was rare", "maybe I asked too much", "maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up, running scared"). He wasn't scared, he just wasn't invested in the relationship. He didn't call it love, because it wasn't for him. Ugh. This kills me, because I dated a version of this guy. I was so sure that he cared but just couldn't or wouldn't admit it - it was too hard and painful to accept that he just didn't care. He acted like an asshole because he is. "Just between us did the love affair maim you too?". Nope. It didn't. That's hard to accept.

[@xgise]

I kinda disagree, I think that he actually was very invested and maybe did see a future with her, but he was insecure and a bit of a coward who ended up self sabotaging and destroying her in the process. He wasn't self aware enough to admit that he was in love and also not brave enough to do what he needed to do to help the relationship grow and probably that's the reason behind the rage she lets seeps through in her voice, because it probably was leading up to be a masterpiece but then he ended up destroying everything. I've never gotten the feeling that the moments she remembers were fake, after all he did take her to meet his family, she got to meet his friends, they did have all those beautiful moments together, so I don't think he was faking his feelings for her, at least early on. And I think you can kinda tell when someone is faking their feelings, gaslighting you into believing they love you when actually they don't. If not in the moment, at least retrospectively and I don't get that feeling from the song. The feeling I get from the new lyrics is that they had something good but he was too much of a coward to fight for it and do what needed to be done

[@alfictabla5215]

@@xgise I didn’t say - and don’t think - that the memories were “fake”. I think he’s too emotionally immature to have a real relationship. It’s overly charitable to think he was “scared”.

[@nealm6764]

This is correct. He had an endless stream of attractive young females who would love to be with him, and he wasn't as serious about this relationship as she was. This was her first serious relationship and it wounded her, but he moved past it with little effort.

[@blymperopoulou5410]

Yeah but you see we have other songs of him too, like we are never getting back together which tells me that he did return multiple times. And this points to strong emotion combined with immaturity. So, I too believe that writing these songs nowadays she wouldn’t be sure of his emotions had they been fake. Probably he hit her up again multiple times and she was the one to ultimately reject him after what he put her through back then. That’s why she wrote bet you think about me. Probably she knows if he does or not. But who knows? Probably he is a little bit shallow to admit that or to work on it.

[@Eden_Rivers]

I'm a writer and it surprised me that so many people miss the "fu#! the patriarchy" line. It's not the key fob that says "fu#! the patriarchy." "Fu#! the patriarchy" is what he says to her as he tosses her the car keys, indicating that she should drive instead of him--in opposition of the idea that when in a couple, the man usually drives. We can take it even further and say that the keys and the car and the act of driving are metaphors for the relationship itself. He's telling her, "you take the lead." And even further, the keychain ends up on the ground ... She doesn't catch the keys, meaning: she doesn't take the lead. She then immediately realizes they're always leaving town ... That's not her idea it's his. He wants to keep her a secret. And he's definitely not giving her control of the relationship.

[@user-sn2cx7fb5w]

wrong. lyrics arent put in quotes and grammatically doesnt make sense

[@patlafever2049]

YES, YES, YES!! That's it exactly! I keep trying to tell people that. That he throws the keys and he's saying in a way "F**K the patriarchy by having her drive instead of him. When, as you said, it's usually the man driving. There's no key chain that says that literally. You are so totally correct there that I had to respond! Thank you!

[@Shant3ll998]

I think it could have a double interpretation, as a meaning hasn’t been officially confirmed, because a fuck the patriarchy keychain was sold, people believe it means he tossed her a keychain that said it, others believe he said it while tossing her a keychain. i think both meanings are valid and make sense.

[@CatherinesClaws]

@@user-sn2cx7fb5w what do you mean "wrong" 💀 thats quite literally what it means, even in the short film

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Replying the next summer, I think this is where the curse of being a very successful woman not trying to top a man but that's how he takes it because of fragile ego or whatever comes into play in that situation. I try to not think of it as a curse because there are several very successful women artists I can think of who manage a decent relationship with regular guys on the long term, but she was a kid when she wrote this, and honestly so was he. No man is really grown at 28/29 and no girl is a woman at 19/20/21. Analyzing it as adults ten + years later, or for me 3+ decades, we see things differently now. So does TS. But I'm so glad she produced the long version, it's an amazing slice of life art piece.

[@captain.yaryar]

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) is one of her best songs ever, in my opinion, the lyrics, the production, the way you can just feel how she was feeling during this relationship. everything is just wonderful and beautiful.

[@emmaisinexile1987]

You can tell it still hurts when she sings this song 🥺

The scarf reference is literal and metaphorical.

[@XxBloggs]

It is JUST a metaphor. It was never ever literal.

[@WildeMermaid]

​​@@XxBloggs it is both. There are actually photos of him wearing one of her scarfs after their breakup (or an identical one to photos of her wearing it while they were together)... it could be argued maybe she wore his then but given the lyrics I doubt it. All you have to do is Google both of their names with scarf & there are plenty of pics with dates & everything.

[@bronwyn117]

@@WildeMermaid I know Taylor said it was a metaphor, but I really think the scarf is real based on the pics I’ve seen!

[@daisy2499]

You should do an analysis on “sweet nothings” from Midnights. Such a peaceful (truly peaceful, finally) song and hopefully means she is finally secure and happy

[@crgreen8145]

The outro is like an incantation or hymn & uses the words ‘sacred prayer’. This relationship affected her on a profound & spiritual level, and she felt utterly bereft & confused by how easily he could discard something that mattered so much to her. She is almost using this incantation to remind herself it was real & her feelings & responses were valid, as he obviously minimised the whole thing. We can all relate to those relationships where one person gives their all & the other has one foot out of the door (whilst performatively giving their all too). It’s deceptive & damaging & creates huge trust issues.

[@morganproctor7521]

I’m sure others have talked about this but this was her first serious relationship after John Mayer. Imagine how devastating that year had to be for her.

[@RiskaYulya2807]

I think when she says 'I am a soldier who is returning half her weight' means that now she is moving on. When they were in relationship, like you said, it felt like a war and now the war is over and she is returning the armor that had been weighting her all this time.

[@lindseycassella3015]

Twin flames tend to get mixed up with soul mates Your twin flame is not who you’re meant to be with. A twin flame is someone who tends to show up seemingly out of no where but you two instantly click. It burns bright and passionate FAST. But like all flames, especially a candle, it eventually goes out. The purpose is a twin flame is to leave you with a lasting impact in life and teach both a major life lesson ❤️

[@traditional-g8h]

I think we should talk about the " 'Til we were dead and gone and buried, check the pulse and come back swearing, it's the same after three months in the grave." It shows how they felt, especially her, after the relationship was over. She was dead and buried and he used to check the pulse, to find out about her feelings, and then swear about how this whole thing ended up. Taylor, also, says that for three months, as long as the relationship lasted, she was in a grave, representing her falling out and how he and the relationship somehow ruined her.

[@direwolf6234]

the specific imagery she chooses is reminiscent of the details that speringsteen weaves into a song that we all can relate to .. the cold / a sister's house / a scarf / autumn leaves / being upstate / small town streets / red lights / snow / downstairs ... you get the picture .... without thinking each one triggers a feeling and an emotional response

[@henrywasserman]

When Taylor says "Just between us" it has a double meaning. It fits for her ex lover - but - "Just between us" is also Taylor calling to anyone who is listening to the song. And those lyrics make the song intimate between her and the listener. 'Just between us did the love affair maim you" now the conversation becomes whether the love affair we had maimed us and Taylor won't tell a soul about it.

I feel like the end of this song where she for like 30 seconds keep saying "wind in my hair", "down the stairs" , and follow it with "I was there, I was there" is like she is trying to convince herself she's not imagining it like "it happened, i remember it". And that's why she ask him "Do you remember it all too well", like does he remember and is he affected by the memories aswell? Cause the way he seems unbothered is making her question her self. Just like in Tolerate it "If its all in my head tell me now". And its the worst feeling. Knowing deep in your core that it was real, that happened but the other one walks on in their life like nothing ever happened.. 💔

[@allisonhunter1063]

A twin flame is like your soul has been split in half and you've met the person who contains the other half of your soul. Whereas a soulmate is just somebody that makes your soul feel at home and you have a lot of the same likes and things like that. So neither twin flames nor soulmates have to be romantic in nature it could be a friend a sibling anybody.

Sagittarius are fire signs. Taylor and Jake are both Sagittarius (December)

[@allisonhunter1063]

The subtlety of the repeated "I was there" throughout the song almost to convince herself, "we were both there, I was there, I remember it even if you want to pretend it didn't happen." 💔 Makes me think there was gaslighting or she was made to feel overdramatic and that their connection wasn't as profound as it was, and she's saying "the two of us know what truly went down."

a reaction to "happiness" by t swift would be amazing

[@GoldenPerception]

I recommend reacting to the moment I knew! It covers the birthday party

I left my scarf there. In your sisters house and you're still got it in your drawer 😢 this line cuts me up.

I think the outro is her convincing herself that it was real

2:57 um please Taylor drive safely, 10:09 God my fave part of the song, 12:16 so true😂 14:26 the moment I knew😅

[@JasmineBella]

I love this video series !!!!!

[@SagaciousSilence]

I love how brutal this song is too. She puts these guys (probably more than just Jake) on blast for basically dismissing how she felt and her worth (e.g. thinking she’s just immature due to her age so they bail after a couple months of leading her on).

[@berndgruner8510]

Danke für die Musik 🎶 für die Welt 🗺 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@madlybs]

So many insights!

[@samanthamiller3314]

Given that Taylor has said that she and Kelce dated for a bit and that the chiefs game was not the first date like everyone presumed. I do not think they dated for three months. There is too much in the song for such a short period of time. Given that he was keeping her like a secret, I think the paparazzi finally caught on at some point and that became the "first date". And the scarf is literal. She came out and said it was metaphorical because John Mayer sued her for Dear John. She won that case but is not gonna want to take a chance with Gyllenhaal filing a lawsuit. She is very smart.

What is that painting behind you about?

[@JustJazzyNow]

TS sold f*** the patriarchy keychains. I wonder if he bought her merch.

[@awesomelyandrea2652]

I believe the scarf is her virginity. I never realized that, but she strongly alluded to that in a press conference recently.

[@mendwithmere]

Hi Andrea, I actually had that in the video, that I believed it was her virginity and it may have happened at the sisters house but I cut it out because for some reason, it made me feel bad to point that even though it is my first instinct. What do you think? Should I have kept it in?

[@awesomelyandrea2652]

@@mendwithmere I agree that it's a bit icky to speculate or talk about someone else's virginity! I don't blame you for taking it out. I only mentioned it because she has strongly alluded to the this, and I missed that when I heard the song. And it's actually a beautiful metaphor! And it also explains a lot about why a relatively short relationship impacted her in such a strong way.

[@kxue]

I used to think so too, but then I listened to the "took my girlhood" reference in Would've could've should've, and it seems that she lost it to John Mayer 🤔

[@augustinevl]

@@kxue Same and now I've just been wondering what the metaphorical meaning of the scarf is

[@timaessam1401]

​@@augustinevl Could be her innocence.

[@thetatismine]

I read the red scarf signified her virginity.

[@Kate-hi1us]

I feel Like Taylor keeps getting love bombed 😅

[@suzanneo.4491]

I love now you picked up on the lyric “made me your own” and equated it to the scarf. I took the made me your own to be loss of her innocence as well. ❤😢

[@bkirstie]

i’m 17:01 how did you not write this lyric a few years ago because she would only know his lover stay his age overtime. So maybe she just added it. in 2022

[@mylittlepeonies8693]

Didn’t even realise that, that further solidifies my conspiracy theory that she wrote those lyrics for the Taylor’s Version😂

[@allisonhunter1063]

It's like a guy I was just getting to know and everything was going great he's dealing with a lot of stuff right now and he truly does not believe that he is worth being cared for and he hasn't talked to me for weeks and won't respond to anything so I've just stopped trying. There's only so much that you can do to let somebody know that they are worth your time and that you do want to take that time and spend it on them and that you think it is a valuable investment even if they don't. But like you said in another video when somebody tells you who they are listen. He told me basically the very first couple of days that we were hanging out that he would do this that he always does this and it's when he gets feelings for somebody that he really cares about and knows that they care equally about him it like freaks him out and makes him think that something is wrong with you because you care about him it's really sad and really f***** up and I wish I knew how to help but I'm smart enough to know that I can't help somebody who doesn't want me to.

Hopefully you have reacted to the MINI MOVIE.... It is a masterpiece.
