Ahead of the screening, Swift opened up about how “All Too Well” has taken on a new meaning for her since it was originally released onRedin 2012.
“The most important thing about this particular project is that this is a song that would not be a special song in every setlist I do, in every single list where someone says, ‘These are the best songs she’s done’ — that was all because of you,” Swift said at the event.
“A record label didn’t pick this song as a single. We never made a video for it. This was a song that started out as a song on the album, just a simple track 5. And you went and turned it into what it is now,” she continued. “It started out as a song that was my favorite. It was about something very personal to me. It was hard to perform it live. Now, for me, honestly, this song is 100 percent about us, and for you.”
During the event, Swift also talked about her experience re-recording songs forFearless (Taylor’s Version)and nowRed (Taylor’s Version).
“Getting to re-release these albums is something I wouldn’t be doing if you hadn’t empowered me and emboldened me to do so,” she told fans. “You guys are so amazing about a very hard thing I went through. You guys turned a hard thing into a very, very wonderful experience. Now we’re going through the second time with theRedre-release: my version. And so all of this is happening because you made this happen.”
