The song was released as part of the icon’s ‘Red (Taylor’s Version).’
Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” has joined Spotify’s exclusive Billions Club, marking songs to surpass the billion stream mark.
When Taylor Swift re-released Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021, the album immediately landed at No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album is a re-recording of her 2012 album, Red, which led the list for seven weeks in 2012-13.
“All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” in particular stood out as a signature moment on the project. It collected numerous awards for Swift, including a Grammy, MTV EMA, MTVA VMA, and AMA for Music Video Of The Year, an MTV VMA for Best Direction, and an iHeartRadio Music Award for Best Lyrics. The song also hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the longest song to reach No.1 on the chart.
The music video for the 2021 release starred Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink and The Maze Runner’s Dylan O’Brien. Swift premiered it at a New York cinema, where she also delivered the first live performance of the 10-minute track.
Red (Taylor’s Version) contains new versions of the original album’s 16 songs, along with its four deluxe edition bonus tracks and the 2012 charity single “Ronan.” Nine additional “From the Vault” recordings complete the new project: six previously unreleased tracks that were written for Red, the aforementioned 10-minute version of the album’s “All Too Well,” and Swift’s solo renditions of the songs “Better Man” and “Babe.” The latter two tracks were written for Red, but not released by Swift at the time and later recorded and released by Little Big Town and Sugarland, respectively.
“Musically and lyrically, Red resembles a heartbroken person,” Swift previously shared about the release. “It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past.”
