All Too Well (Sad Girl Autumn Version) - Recorded at Long Pond Studios

About this song

Swift told Pop Dust that she began writing the song during a soundcheck for her 2011 tour in support of Speak Now. Co-writer Liz Rose helped pare down a version that was initially 10 to 15 minutes long, and Swift shared some of the original lyrics on the deluxe edition of her 2019 album, Lover. This ten minute version is more subdued and more vitriolic and bitter than the album version, which is bittersweet.
