Tucked into Red, Taylor Swift's fourth album, in 2012, "All Too Well" is the record's slow-burning heart: a song she wrote with Liz Rose and produced with Nathan Chapman, a power ballad that welds country to rock while it picks through a dead romance and its aftermath one intimate memory at a time. A scarf left behind at the ex's sister's place took on a life of its own and grew into a full-blown pop-culture phenomenon.
After the 2019 fight over her masters, Swift re-recorded it for Red (Taylor's Version) in November 2021, adding an unabridged 10 Minute Version produced with Jack Antonoff. The re-recording became the longest song ever to top the Hot 100, Rolling Stone put "All Too Well" at 69 on its 2021 list of the 500 greatest songs, and the short film she directed for it won the Grammy for Best Music Video.
