Video Editor Reacts to Taylor Swift - All Too Well

[@TheblondeKrista]

“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

[@r.maciel2544]

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.

[@mariaalicedeoliveira5839]

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

[@Mark.Brindle]

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.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

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!

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 ❤

[@randomsandra4039]

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!

[@lostandfawned]

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).

[@TeriMartinez]

[@shandramch]

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

[@chiptovey6015]

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.

[@khills]

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.)

[@shandramch]

@@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

[@shandramch]

@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

[@xXxJason_ToddxXx]

@@khillswhich channel was that? I’d love to see that reaction

[@GeehSavinon]

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.

[@adabadoskova2915]

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

Right?? Amazing acting

[@Becksnnc]

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.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Ahh I see! Great to know! I'll have to listen to the shorter version now. This was a masterpiece!

[@ralphcorneliuscastro]

@@Videoeditorreacts great! Listen to Taylor's Version not the stolen version only hehe.

[@MamaBear0417]

I also think that’s why her hair is red…one because Sadie is a perfect Taylor and two the represent the Red album.

[@SymbalonSmiradion]

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.

[@khills]

@@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.

[@easyveganfoodie]

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.

[@ktkingster]

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

[@sara31773]

This is why Swifties are Swifties. What she brings to her projects are so personal and relatable.

[@shannonm6633]

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

[@sarahhandberg5185]

It also gives it an edge of fury that isn’t in the short version that I absolutely adore

[@sirsimonthesentry4787]

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.

[@melindall05]

Ohh, I didn’t know that but that makes so much sense.

[@mariaalicedeoliveira5839]

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!!!

[@clarkbarrett6274]

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.

[@user-ts7pm7if2i]

@@clarkbarrett6274they’re saying “minor” because giving alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 in the states is considered “contributing to a minor”.

[@khills]

@@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.

[@VioletEmerald]

​@@khillswhen Taylor Swift was 18, 19, and 20 the cigarette legal age was 18 still but yeah.

[@GeehSavinon]

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.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

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!

[@alohasargent]

@@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.

[@CelinaSharp]

@@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.

[@lisatroste]

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"

[@peypey8241]

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

[@VioletEmerald]

Lol @ your "Taylor's Version" in there though. Both versions had exactly these lyrics.

[@alohasargent]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2nbY4OJfs2VnpI

[@Muton230]

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.

“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*

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”.

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.

[@adabadoskova2915]

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.

i would love a video about how you light your videos. i love the purple in the background.

[@KatherineH_13]

Watching these TS reaction videos is my new hobby. Really enjoying your technical and personal reviews!

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them!

[@carol-ina.]

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 😊

[@lostandfawned]

There is a little featurette of the making of on KZbin as well. Shows some of the behind the scenes stuff. You might appreciate it.

[@Asha13946]

Thank you for this. ❤

[@Videoeditorreacts]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!!

[@narbuka]

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.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

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.

[@olympian00]

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.

[@AMohamedAsif]

Thank you so much for reacting and analyzing ♥️

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Of course! I had a blast doing it! I appreciate you watching!!

[@cmcm4204]

I’m really late to this, but your comments on lightning were sooo spot on! When they’re happy, the background lighting is warm. Where they’re arguing or sad, the background lighting is cool toned. It’s brilliant!

[@cmcm4204]

And the lyric “dance around the kitchen in refrigerator light “ has split lighting … he is cold blue and she is golden warm

[@sheilamason1895]

Here I am again, I watch this often as I like your take as an editor and reflection on her brilliance. You might want to do a lyric reaction to The Manuscript. It is the last song on The Tortured Poets Depart anthology Album. It is the reflection about this film, its purpose in her life and how she views it all. She does have a feature film already on the horizon planned. I can’t wait.

[@Yephimł]

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...

[@greenfox42]

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!

[@IvyCowboy]

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! :)

[@mirawonder]

This song & short film made me a swiftie in September!

[@Stephlolz]

Found your account when I couldn’t sleep last night and watched a couple of your reactions to TS videos. I was an instant fan, especially when I realized you had no knowledge of the backstory. I am loving your reactions to her videos and I feel like I need a video of her reactions to yours because people are so quick to discount her. I know she doesn’t need outside validation, but we all need a bit of a boost sometimes, and I love watching someone become a fan and learn the lore. I have a feeling I’m going to be watching a lot of your videos!

[@marchingon19]

Breaks my heart evertime

[@mirawonder]

This song is so great!

[@kahlil2classy798]

Great content! I love your analysis and glad that you enjoyed the story

[@laurenwrighton]

I love seeing your authentic enjoyment of her MVs and why they’re so brilliant from the production standpoint

[@keithmoore8702]

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

[@mitchellmatthews3962]

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!

[@jackjackjackjack4527]

THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS

[@vIsUaL00]

Its my favourite song from her

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

You may enjoy the behind the scenes, making of this short film. It shows her directing, editing, etc. I think its on KZbin. 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.

[@TeriMartinez]

Glad you loved it!

[@elizabethhurley1129]

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!!

[@gemalem]

I feel like she did her with the red hair to match Sadie because her red hair give the perfect autumnal colouring for the film it just matches the song (she sings autumn leaves falling down)

[@greenfox42]

4:09 love this panning technique here so much!

[@emiliabarros_]

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. ❤

[@jbeastly96]

I’m loving the Taylor swift series! I’d love to see you do “I Bet You Think About Me”, such a great video and I think you’ll enjoy the use of colours (and connections to this video)

[@zainabalqallaf1876]

Omg finally 🥹🥹

[@yousra8728]

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"

[@Videoeditorreacts]

I absolutely love the use of light in this. It's so well done and represents them perfectly! Great catch!

[@soniclyqaulan]

she freaking amazing

[@ArnoldMagnoAmaro]

All I know is that, I finished this whole 40mins video without even skipping 😁

[@brandon.c85]

I felt the a/symmetry of the scenes you’ve commented on reflect how the relationship always had an imbalance of power.

[@voxfugit]

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.

[@avokittypup]

'reputation stadium tour' please...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Musically it was terrific and the production was also phenomenal. I'm sure you'll love it. 🖤❤️🙌🏻

[@Videoeditorreacts]

I'll definitely look into that! Thank you so much!
