By Haley Brettschneider
Taylor Swift stuns viewers as she performed her ten minute version of the song “All Too Well” on Saturday Night Live. Instead of singing two conventional songs, Swift chose to sing the entire ten minutes of “All Too Well”. Swift just released her “Red” album which features her singing songs from the original album “Red” which she released a few years ago. This updated version contains some new pieces featuring artists such as Ed She
eran, but the majority of the soundtrack contains past songs from the 2012 album.
On Saturday Night Live, Swift featured her music video in the background which features actors Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien in a toxic relationship. The video capsizes on the lyrics of “All Too Well” as it depicts the two actors in a gut-wrenching breakup. Taylor Swift directed the fifteen minute short film which has created a craze over social media. Be sure to not only listen to the updated “Red” album but watch the short film and the Saturday Night Live performance.
