Taylor Swift reveals the song she’s ‘most excited about’ on new Red album during talk show visit

Taylor Swift has revealed her 10-minute track All Too Well was formed from an ad-libbed rehearsal session during a ‘sad and upsetting’ time in her life. 

The breakup ballad is widely rumoured to be about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, who she split from in 2010 after a two-month romance. 

While Taylor has never confirmed if the track is about Jake, she admitted during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she was going through a tough time in life when she penned it back in 2011. 

‘I was not fun to be around’: During Taylor Swift’s appearance on the on The Tonight Show she admitted she was ‘upset and sad’ when she penned All Too Well about ex Jake Gyllenhaal 

Taylor explained: ‘I showed up for rehearsals and I just was really upset, and sad, and everybody could tell, it was really, like, not fun to be around me that day.

‘So I started playing guitar and just kind of playing the same four chords over and over again. 

‘And I just started, kind of, the band sort of joined in, and I started ad-libbing what I was going through, and what I was feeling, and it went on, and the song kept building and building and building in intensity, and the song just went on for about, you know, 10 to 15 minutes of us doing this.’

While Taylor penned the track in 2011, a new 10-minute version of the breakup ballad features on the re-recording of her 2012 album Red.
