Taylor Swift - All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Live on Saturday Night Live) 

Can we also appreciate her backup vocals? They added volumes to the song. They're equally awesome.

there’s a very “F you for making younger me feel this way” energy to this performance. I love it.

"You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me" So painfully relatable!!

‘So casually cruel, in the name of being honest.’ One of the greatest lines ever written!

This 10 minute version has been wanted for so long and she’s giving all of her. It’s such a masterpiece, just like we thought it would be. RED IS A MASTERPIECE.

she sang for a straight 10 minutes

I LOVE HOW SHE IS ONE OF THE SINGERS WHO SING EXACTLY HOW THEY'RE FEELING WITH EXACT EMOTIONS

Denial. Anger. Bargining. Depression. Acceptance. All in one song without ever outright saying it.

probably the reason why the 10 minute version isn’t boring to listen to and to watch the performance is that the song has a story to follow, it’s like taylor’s telling a story in a way that she’s just singing it out. not to mention the fact that the lyrics are damn painful and relatable.

People say she’s being dramatic cause she wrote a 10min song about a short relationship but it’s not about how long or short a relationship is. It’s about what that person made you feel during those times. She fell hard fast and there’s nothing wrong with that. She was young. I can write a 10 page essay about a relationship I didn’t even have 🤣🤣🤣

I’m a 52 year old man and a swiftie. Her songs are so lyrical. She tells a story each time. And I appreciate that she writes her songs and plays instruments. She’s like Prince in that way, prolific too.

Taylor Swift has earned my respect. I went to Eras with my two teenage daughters. I wanted to support them, thinking I would need to silently endure the experience. Instead, I was blown away by her -- the enormity of her talent as a singer, performer, and show woman, but even more so her extraordinary talent as a songwriter and poet. Her lyrics are samples of modern poetry at its finest. She lays bear her soul for everyone to see (and hear!). The images she paints with words are ravishingly beautiful. I sat through almost 3 hours of songs and never once regretted my decision to 'support' my daughters by going to see the movie It was a wonderful experience

*Lord, please grant me Taylor Swift’s level of productivity.*

This song is so captivating, it doesn't even feel like 10 minutes..

This is the song that made me a swiftie.

I'm a 67 year old man, I've been in a lot of relationships and this song had me crying for 8 minutes of it, been on both side of the story. I am amazed by her.

No words. It's really difficult to keep a listener's attention for ten minutes with the same song and have them want to revisit it, too. Taylor was meant to do exactly what she's doing now.

Literally "all too well" is everywhere currently. Taylor is planet .

This song hits straight to my heart because the exact same thing happened to me. We fell in love and we were 9.5 years apart, 22 and 31. We were together for 3 months non stop and something (he said it was age as well) happened where he started to pull away. He finally did the no call/no show thing and we broke up. Then for two years he was in and out of my life until I finally said I couldn’t take it anymore. He is the love of my life but it didn’t work out. Every person he has ever been with since then has characteristics that are like me, almost like he is trying to recreate what we had. It has truly changed who I am as a person over the last 15 years and I wish I could go back every single day to who I was before I met him because the heartache is enormous. I think there are some things in life that you never get over and they hurt just as much at 100 years old as they did at 22 years old. ❤

Count me another fan. I've never paid 30 seconds of attention to her until the last couple of weeks but I've watched a bunch of interviews and YT videos, just started listening to some songs in the last few days. I'm stunned at her creativity, humor, authenticity, compassion, strength, courage, and the way she is turning her love of life into an incredibly powerful inspiration of a life for so many, including me, a 66 year old guy. Brings levels of hope I wouldn't have thought possible from someone I had always written off as a teeny-bopper bubble-gum pop star. I've never disliked her, just simply never knew who she really is. I'm deeply impressed with her now and wish her (and everyone she touches) many blessings onward.

The fact that this song is literally TEN MINUTES LONG and yet every time I'm like "oh is it over already??" like it never gets old.

The fact that her backup singers have been there with her since that time when this song first came out , have seen her cry every time she performed this on tours , for us, and now they are here years later singing the longer version, still by her side,but this time with Taylor smiling - does something to me , all right? That just makes this soooo much more beautifully nostalgic and just shows their beautiful journey together.🤧 Words can’t express how happy I am for them and for Taylor . ❤️❤️❤️

I'm an older guy who generally does not like pop music... but Taylor is a genius.

Even with the imperfections that would have been edited out in a studio version, this is the best to watch. The break added in the middle is perfect, as is the a cappella ending. Her acknowledging the background singers is another mark of Taylor's charm. Taylor always knows where the camera is.

"maybe this thing was a masterpiece" this song is, indeed, a masterpiece

I think this is her best performance ever. Especially with the short film in the background that she directed herself. We are witnessing her transition to a timeless musical legend, and this performance is absolutely cementing that. I could not be more proud, overjoyed and impressed by everything she does these days!

What makes this song so iconic and relatable is the fact that almost all of us have experienced a scenario of being gaslit in a relationship and being told that “it” wasn’t real, wasn’t a big deal, didn’t mean much, etc. when you know it WAS something special, something different. It is such a unique and horrific pain to have those feelings invalidated by another and Taylor completely captures that emotion with her lyrics.

It’s not just a song. She wrote & directed a short film based on the song. She owns it all. I find that very impressive! Love it!

Taylor wearing that revenge red lipstick!! 💄

The fact that this song doesn’t feel like ten minutes is a sign of a great performance.

That SNL performance was the first time I ever heard "All Too Well," and about a quarter of the way through the song, I started to realize it wasn't a regular song. I watched the video behind her, and noticed the lighting change, the seasons passing. Five minutes . . . six . . . seven . . . eight. It was a remarkable introduction to a piece I've heard a hundred times since.

The best lyricist in 21st century

Taylor's relationship with her people reflects so much as I noticed that the back up singers are the same people that sang with her back then.

Her lyrics and storytelling is everything. The story of the naive girl who fell in love with an older man who cannot commit and take her seriously as she did is truly heartbreaking. I just cant.

This is easily one of the greatest songs of all time. The songwriting is unreal. This song makes you feel her emotion (which in turn become yours) whether you like it or not. She is unique that’s for sure. This song (especially 10 min version on the album) is an unabashed masterpiece. Wow.

This song IS the Masterpiece. 63 yr old 'Swiftie' here. T's storytelling is unmatched in her generation. Love her❤ my favorite performance of this song.

The changing of emotions on her face while singing, her voice, everything is so freaking perfect.

This song doesn’t feel 10 minutes at all. Taylor is truly a master of her craft.

Utterly stunning. Best song of the last 10 years. Would love to hear Bruce cover this.

The way that 10 years later her pain is still palpable when she sings this song 😢❤

She was right. She rewriting these songs and fans like us are reliving those precious memories that we experienced when all too well first dropped

Even thought this is the first time she performed the whole ten minutes. SHE SMASHED IT ! Queen.

probably the best song ever of all time

What an artistic triumph! I can guarantee that I'm older than any of the stated ages here and I only discovered this lyrical genius recently. First time hearing this song. I haven't been so moved by a songwriter since listening to her namesake, James Taylor over fifty years ago. A once-in-a-generation talent. Amazing.

10 mins and at the end you still want more.She is a musical genius.

It’s unhealthy how many times I listen to this daily

The whole song is beautifully written, but I wrote somewhere that the repetition “I remember it all too well”/“you remember it all too well”/ “I was there” is her trying to reinforce her memories through all the gas lighting that he inforced. I can’t get over that…

Her artistry - I understand that her music might not be everyone's taste, but everyone should be able to acknowledge she's an artist on a stellar scale. This whole thing is gorgeous.

it's just gratifying to see Taylor's evolution emotionally singing this song, what was once sad has now become a fan-bonding song.

The red lipstick, the hair flips and the expressions, pure Taylor Swift

2:22 - That look 😏 after Taylor dropped the F-Bomb 💣 ❤️

"you kept me like a secret, but i kept you like an oath" this makes me wanna cry T-T

Her short film playing in the background makes this performance magical, her past is literally behind her as she remembers on it wow. You can hear how real it is for her

I remember clearly how Taylor performed All Too Well when Red first came out. She sat playing the piano, singing into the mic with her eyes closed most of the time; nostalgia, pain, and heartbreak weighing on every note. There were times she even cried. Then to see her perform the 10-minute version of All Too Well the way she does now, admittedly a version more vulnerable and raw in its lyrics. Just, wow. It’s melancholic, yes. But bold, standing her ground, confident in the person she’s become. She truly is incredible. Proud of her, and to love her.

Only a musician like taylor can perform a 10 minute song

A masterpiece. The only reason I don’t want a 20 minute version is because I’d never want Taylor Swift to go through that. An outstanding performance and from the heart 💯

the fact that she used to cry with this song and now she looks so happy and proud of herself, I love u blondie

I love how she embraces her back-up singers in the end, pulling them up right next to her. Shows what an amazing, generous and kind person she is, aside from the insanely talented icon of our time.

Her MASTERPIECE

I'm late to the Shift show but I'm absolutely in love with her song writing abilities. She's a genius, and I owe myself and everybody else an apology for all the credit i did NOT give her.

I’m still having trouble processing the fact that she’s giving a live performance of the full version of this song almost a decade after it was released. what a time to be a swiftie

She did not cry this time. She sang the whole song the way it is- A MASTERPIECE

Taylor can make a 10 hour long song and i would listen to it non stop

Wow this song could be the greatest in 21 century

Taylor is truly an excellent songwriter. I've never had a boyfriend but when I listen to the song, I feel like I lived it myself. She reflects her emotions and feelings very well in her songs.

The stage production of autumn slowly turning to winter matches the lyrics exactly. She captures a full season’s turning in ten minutes

I don’t know how anyone can say she isn’t talented? Do you hear this song writing? It’s gorgeous

im not even a swiftie but this is actually incredible

when the lights turned RED (Taylor’s Version) and she became angryyyyy >>>

The fact that she did a ten-minute performance in itself is amazing. The song itself is just the icing on the cake…

I’m 37 years old. I’ve never been in love… but listening to Taylor’s story telling reassures me that I’m capable

I'm 69 years old and have yet to make it thru this song without crying. It just keeps bringing back memories of a guy I dated when I was 23. She is the most amazing storyteller.

I usually don't say that everything happens for a reason, but in this case I believe it did. Because if it wasn't for her dispute with her previous label, this version most likely would have never seen the light of day, the songs from the vault wouldn't have been released either, not to mention All Too Well perhaps wouldn't have got a short film. But instead all of her albums are getting even more appreciation and recognition than they did (meaning more people discover her music). It really worked out so well for her.

"So casually cruel in the name of being honest" is one of the best lyrics from any song, from any genre, ever. And its just one tiny line that passes by in a 10 minute masterpiece.

Taylor is a revolution. Someone who breaks current conventions, the norm, expectations, everything. She’s the Mozart of our generation. We are a lucky bunch.

This has to be one of her best performances ever

The power Taylor holds is incredible. NBC literally allowed her to be on air for 10 minutes straight. Iconic, if I may add.

Her smile, the glow-up that matters the most.

This is probably her best song now

For me it's her Best performance ever

i love that she's singing such a heartbreaking song but her eyes look so bright and happy. her songs are truly a stepping stone for her to move forward. im so glad she's so much happier now, TS deserves all the happiness.

This song makes everyone cry from a relationship that we even didn't have

I can't believe it, but I now am a 68 years old man. I have been on both the giving and receiving side of this story. And I too remember all too well. What a performance and what a song.

This one just feels more raw than the short version

Only she can write a 10-minute song as immaculate as it is, change its country genre to pop, make a film about it that can make any one cry, have critical acclaim with it, have the longest snl performance with it and get it to number one on the charts. ONLY TAYLOR

we are crying because of nostalgia and she is smiling because of us. WE WON AFTER ALL THESE DAYS!!!!

This performance is huge. The lighting how it goes back and forth from reddish tones to bluish tones is symbolic. Same as the video. You’ll see the tones change. When the love is magical and intense it’s red…. when it’s painful and falling apart it’s blue. It’s interesting seeing the different tones pass over her face. No doubt she directed this performance.

Best live performance I’ve seen by Taylor swift. You could see the the emotion in her eyes and voice. Amazing.

The fact that she loves her fans so much to do all this for us. We've asked for almost a decade for the full version and she did it because she knew what it would mean to us - I'm crying. She deserves everything she has and more. What a rare and beautiful person

SNL giving her 10 minutes to do this is wild. True Queen

Still one of the very best all-time SNL performances.

This song always get to me. Absolutely love every bit of this song.

This feels so much more like an angry song now, rather than just a sad one--amazing!

how is she able to just convey all the emotions this song has even though she's already happy?? a legendary storyteller

I hope Taylor reads this cause this is one of many of my favorite videos and songs of yours. I’m a 41 year old woman never been married and I now don’t have the option of having children. I have dated a lot through my 20’s and 30’s, if I could write songs or stories about my past loves like you do I would. You’re music is so relatable and so important so stay strong and keep pushing forward when times are tough. Real women deserve real love!! Never settle for less then what you deserve!! I’ve always said if I have to wait till I’m old and grey to find true love I will wait. Your songs give me strength in what I have gone through in my dating life and I refuse to settle till I find someone worthy.

I don’t think people realized what an awesome songwriter and singer she is until now. I know I didn’t realize until now. I’m blown away!

The fact that Taylor managed to sing All Too Well live without crying and she even sang the full 10min version makes me cry so proud of her moved on and became a stronger woman!!

Why is no one talking about the acapella part at the end, it sounded HEAVENLY

She gave us such a masterpiece and people go and say she’s being over dramatic? Well YEAH, LET HER BE OVERDRAMATIC PLEASE if that means she can deliver such heartfelt songs with outstanding storytelling!! ❤

First time hearing this song. WOW. Her lyrics. Amazing. I see you now Taylor Swift. Thank you .
