All Too Well (Taylor's Version)

The five-minute version re-cut keeps the scarf, the autumn, the car — but in 2021 All Too Well is no longer 'just a breakup song,' it's a phenomenon. This cut paves the way for the ten-minute one: pulls you back to that autumn, then leads you deeper.

I love that 'overture' feel. It still sings remembering too well, but now you know the same person later wrote five more minutes of that autumn — she never meant to let that memory go.
