Taylor Swift revealed that a 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” exists and it features some expletives. Well, we actually already knew that it started out as a 10 minute song, information she revealed back when the album was released, but now she told the story of the writing process for the song.
She said on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums podcast, "It was a day when I was just, like, a broken human, walking into rehearsal just feeling terrible about what was going on in my personal life."
In case you don't know, "All Too Well" is allegedly about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal.
She said she started, quote, "singing and riffing and ad-libbing this song that basically was All Too Well... It literally just was that song, but it had probably seven extra verses... and it included the F-word."
She realized after listening to it later that it wasn't bad and explained, "I was like, 'I actually really like this, but it definitely is, like, 10 minutes long and i need to pare it down." That's when she called her collaborator Liz Rose.
