Only one day after the release of the film she wrote and directed for her 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” Taylor Swift sang the full song as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. This was her fifth time on the show, according to Deadline, and she broke convention by performing only once for the ten minutes rather than delivering two performances.
As she played her red guitar, the film starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien was playing behind her on the wall. Swift had insinuated she’d be doing one long piece while being interviewed by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, saying she might do “one song that is the length of three songs.”
The song is off her new album, Red (Taylor’s Version), a re-recording of the original that was bought by manager Scooter Braun. Swift alleges she tried to buy her catalog back from Braun, but he didn’t want her to have it, so she decided to re-record all the albums he eventually sold for $300 million. During her press tour for the album this past week, Swift wore what some saw as a version of Princess Diana’s “revenge dress” and it was interpreted as a message to Braun.
But Braun’s not the only man people think Swift is sending a message to—her song “All Too Well” is widely believed to be about her brief relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. Swift’s performance came just before the Weekend Update portion of the show. When host Colin Jost appeared on camera afterwards, he joked, “I think the lesson we all learned this week is never break up with Taylor Swift.”
