TAYLOR SWIFT - ALL TOO WELL [THE SHORT FILM] (REACTION) *I CRIED*

This is so fun to watch because, as far as I know, this is your first exposure to this song, so you didn't even know how the story was gonna go, while when I watched it, it was more like, "Oh no, this is THAT part!"

I love watching men's first reaction to this. It's like a Rorschach test for a Good Man who is in touch with his feelings and isn't afraid to call "alleged Jake Gyllenhaal character" a dick for this. He knows how to treat a woman and I appreciate that a lot.

“Don’t be sorry, be careful.” I need this on a t-shirt. This is my favorite reaction to this song.

She won an award for this.

"Don't be sorry, be careful." Wise, wise words.

The fact that Taylor sat down at the piano and wrote this whole 10 min song in one sitting without stopping!!! 🔥the shortened version came out 10 years ago and I was 18, just had my first heartbreak and I still tear up listening to a few parts of the song. The part that gets me is “id like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it”

The thing is, he was gaslighting the FUCK OUT OF HER with the "i don't know what you mean, i dropped your hand!" shit. all he had to say was, "I'm sorry, i didn't realize i made you feel invalued. i can see how i hurt you by doing that, it won't happen again", and then not do it again. but no, he had to make her feel stupid and sent her into a self-doubt tailspin and tell her "he doesn't think he's making her feel that way" when she tells him what that crazymaking behavior is doing to her. it's not about whether he dropped her hand or not. he made her feel insignificant and ignored, and refuses to acknowledge her feelings whatsoever except to tell her HE THINKS they're not real and what she's upset about never happened. i cannot tell you how many fights i've had with my dad and other male relationships-- romantic and otherwise-- where they pull this shit. this song is a work of art, and this was a great reaction. you have earned my subscription, man

I sincerely appreciate your reaction! Especially as a woman, I appreciate that you saw the toxic parts of this relationship and genuinely were moved by the song, you seem like a great guy 🥰 one of my favorite lines is when she said at the end that his girlfriends haven’t aged. Meaning that he is still a manipulative guy who is dating younger women in gaslighting them. This song is supposedly about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, when he was 30 and she was 20.
I know a lot of people can get tired of Taylor Swift, or not understand the hype, but the bottom line is that she is a legendary songwriter in this industry! She has changed the game. And like her or not, that is a fact 🎶

This song is about Taylor's relationship with actor Jake G., he was in his early 30's and Taylor was 20 almost 21. He still dates women way younger than him.

5:38 Note about the table scene. He served Red Wine but Taylor prefers White Wine. It’s supposed to be a show that he didn’t take her preferences into account during the relationship.

I did not realise watching a seemingly cisgender, hetersosexual man watching, appreciating, and crying to this piece of brilliance would end with me being potentially pregnant.

I love you’re reaction to the miscommunication in the argument becuase it’s so smart showing how age effects peoples need for reassurance, she’s young so she needs more reassurance and he’s older so he feels more comfortable with less reassurance cuz he’s more “mature”

The way you immediately picked up on him putting her hand down like a CHILD!!! Yes!! All of that!!!

9:53 I don’t know if she was overacting, because we have to keep in mind that she was already upset and the first thing he does (instead of asking her well) is to minimize her feelings, telling her that everything she says is bullshit. When she tries to explain why she felt so bad during dinner, instead of trying to understand her, he keeps minimizing his feelings and justifying himself instead of trying to speak it well and give her his point of view. Moreover she was only looking for (during the dinner) at least a look that would reassure her, considering that he was the only person she knew, surrounded by older and stranger people, considering she was a teenager I would feel terrible and ignored :(

Taylor is a lyrical mastermind. A true singer songwriter. She is definitely one of my all-time favorite artists.

I love the way he dissected the fighting and while I agree, it was *technically* a small thing, it shows how the age gap really did fucked up their relationship. She was too young to let it go and he was old enough to deal with it, also the manipulation of the situation showed how very much the situation was in favor of the guy, so was the relationship.

You were right when you said maybe it’s a big deal if it hurt her feelings. If that’s the case then he should apologize and say he didn’t mean to hurt her. Don’t gaslight her and make her feel like she’s doing something wrong just by saying how she feels. Don’t turn it around on her. It’s great being a fly on the wall watching it play out!

"Don't be sorry, be careful" DAMN i wasn't expecting a bar from the REACTION, thank you king i'm gonna use that one

I was waiting for this one! I knew you’d love it! My favorite lyric is the you kept me like a secret one. So I was really happy you liked it too! Keep em coming! You’re so much fun to watch!

i love how you realize the part where she sang "the idea you had of me: who was she? a never- needy, ever- loving jewel." you can see her looking around the room looking at girls he might have liked better.

This is the first reaction video to all to well I'm seeing where a man is actually listening and feeling the amazing lyrics of Taylor Swift. I'm happy you even said she's like a poet. She really is. I love this reaction video. And your reaction to the lyrics were perfect and made this video unique to me because i most noticed men who reacted to all to well didn't really cared about the brilliant lyrics this song has. You just got a new subscriber ❤️❤️
Edit: 13:03 omg you are so cute 😭😭😭

It never gets old! There’s something so magical about watching people (especially men) give Tay Tay a fair shake, and become aware of her genius songwriting, flawless storytelling, and fabulous singing! I love watching the birth of new fans🥰

I love watching you watch TS and your reactions She is the GOAT of writing music. I love hearing you singing keep it coming and I will watch.

"Like she was a Lil kid" EXACTLY

Bro the hand thing is a big deal when you consider that she is MUCH younger than all of his friends and him, and she IS out of place and he did nothing to comfort her at all. And then attacks her for being upset about it.

The song it’s heartbreaking, but the video makes it soul crushing.

Love this reaction! This is one of her best-written songs of all time, that sort of flew under the public radar for so long ❤

The acting was so good! The whole kitchen fight scene was actually improved. The scarf is also apparently an allusion to her virginity. Just adds more to the depth of the lyrics and meaning of the song.
Great reaction!

Taylor just released a short behind-the-scenes video last week or the week before - it's fascinating to see how good of a director she is. With it being *her* story, she could give Dylan and Sadie and the others precise notes, and I think that's why the film turned out so well.

Loved your reaction 😊😊 and he was wearing the scarf that she left and that he kept all that time when he was watching her through the bookstore window ❤

Your face when he pushed her hand away! Love it! hahaha
I've been that girl in my bed sobbing over a breakup. It was the worst feeling ever. I was so depressed that I lost 30 lbs. I feel this song in my bones even though Taylor and I didnt have the same exact experience.

Loved watching you watching this vid one of my faves by Taylor...she is amazing at story telling, amazing talent, she even wrote and directed this short film...what fun it is watching her music vids!❤

There's a rumor that she is gonna be nominated for an Oscar for this short film!!! As she should

"i just can't stop talking about the lyrics". Don't feel the need to explain yourself. That's EXACTLY what everyone should do when listening to a Taylor swift song.
I'm a huge fan of her lyrics, most of her songs sometimes just feel like poetry (i.e whole folklore and evermore), so I just HATE that the 2 songs that everyone makes fun of her for her lyrics, are casually the 2 songs I hate the most lyrically speaking.
So yeah, don't feel sorry for talking about the lyrics. You're focusing in exactly what you should be focusing on.
Loved the video! Thanks for taking the time to appreciate her as an artist🫂

"Don't be sorry, be careful" Good advice. 🙂

it so sad when the other is so oblivious of thing they had done. Imagine you are around with people who are strangers to you and the only soul you know feels like he/she left you alone there. Its not just "the drop of the hand" , its the feeling of being left alone in a crowded room.

I stand by sentiment that only certain artists can pull off a 10 minute song that's actually engaging... the main criteria is they HAVE to be a good storyteller. Taylor does indeed pass this.

If you ever watch the “making of” this video, the comments are all over the place praising Taylor for her directing abilities. (If you haven’t seen it, you should check it out.) The thing about watching her direct them is that she knew how to make it look that good because she actually lived it. For all the credit she’s given, to me, it’s not enough. That is one phenomenal lady.
Your reaction to this was perfect and gave you a new follower. I’ve recently started delving into the history and music of rap and hip hop and found new love and appreciation for artists I grew up with but only paid attention to peripherally (49 YO white woman here). I’m having a blast learning about artists I “liked” a few songs from and now believe to be GOATs. Finding you with your new appreciation for Taylor Swift is great as it makes me feel connected to another on his own new journey. This is probably the most special reaction video I’ve ever seen on RUclips and I’m so glad to be a new follower. Thank you for sharing your experience.
And as a final note, if anyone asked me what my favorite genre of music is, neither rap/hip hop nor bubblegum pop would make the list. I’m usually still stuck in 80’s electronica and EMO music, balanced by heavy alternative types from the 90’s. (Think Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, or Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Tool, NIN.) “If music be the food of love, play on…”

As someone who has been in situations like that. It’s not at all that he dropped her hand. In those moments you’re mad about a lot but maybe can’t vocalize it. It’s that you’re in the room beside you but maybe they don’t introduce you to their friends, they leave you out of the conversation and don’t acknowledge you at all. So you sit there feeling like a stranger in the room. And then they dropped your hand. That was the final point

It is called gas-lighting when someone makes the other person think it is them.

Fun fact almost all her songs are true stories about her life. This one was I just can't remember dude name that broke her heart .

i love watching you learn the song and watching the film at the same time, this must’ve been such a surreal experience

My biggest pet peeve is when men make fun of the music that majority of women listen to, it’s rlly nice seeing you respect her lyrics.

Watch the lyrics when she sings. I’ll get older but your lovers stay my age. Amazing point

Taylor is the best songwriter there is I swear. I can relate to almost everything she writes and really it’s just so amazing

We all cried when this first dropped

love you singing along trying to learn the words, its so sweet!! great reaction

Thank you . I love how you reacts

my new favorite thing now is watching guys react to this

still never fails to make me cry.

Taylor teaching us not to depend on someone else for our own happiness and validation

Fantastic reaction!! Looking forward to more Taylor Swift reactions!

I actually don't know how I ended up here (not a hater, she's just usually not my bop), but I like reaction people who explain what they're seeing and how they actually feel about it! New sub!

Man I went through this ish several times and damn listening to this song gets be balling all over again even though I got through it and got married it effects me every damn day! So much respect for you seeing this stuff for what it is and calling the crappy attitude out

Your vibes are immaculate, man. Keep it up! Loved this so much.

the part where they argue about the dinner party with his friends reminds me of something that happened to me. i had been dating a guy for a few months and he asked me to go to the bar with him where a bunch of old HS friends were. didn’t know any of them and he ignored me the whole time, to the point where i was sitting alone and he didn’t notice. while we were the same age, an age gap would’ve made it so much worse because you don’t really know how to relate to anyone, especially when you can see the chemistry between the rest of them. once you are in a headspace where you feel left out, you tend to find little reasons to confirm how isolated you feel in that moment. their fight was so realistic, it made me want to cry. he expected her to jump in and make friends and was embarrassed that she just sat there and didn’t speak. it’s a reasonable thing to expect but he didn’t consider that he didn’t make it a welcoming space 🥺 hate this

Thank you for this!!! So many people haven’t taken note of how powerful the lyrics are bc they get so wrapped up in the film part! I loved this ❤

Great 👍 job man. All he has to say is sorry and of course make sure it doesn't happen again

I love your reaction videos!!! I love when you are in your feels

I love that you said "that's not cool. Respect your women." Jake said in an interview with I think Howard Stern that he'd been in love twice in his life and it was his fault it ended, that he got scared. uh huh.

Taylor Swift IS the music Industry.

Fun fact: The whole fight scene between Sadie and Dylan was improv
And I totally get how she felt when she said "You didn't even look at me" and "You're so different around your friends." My ex was like that, and I didn't like to hang out with him and his group of friends for the same reasons here. He pretended like I wasn't even there. Relationships shouldn't be like that. You don't have to be lovey dovey, but if you see your partner like this, like they feel left out, include them in the conversation because chances are they have nothing in common with your friends and will feel excluded. Your partner doesn't know your friends like you do, they are strangers.

Sou do Brasil e adoro os seus reacts, reage a "out of the woods da taylor swift" esse é muito bom 🖤

It’s the head shake during the hand tapping scene for me

i totally get what you mean about the fact tht she was making the night about her and to give him the benefit of the doubt, but to be fair. They had that age gap, she was young she was going to do immature things, make fights bigger than they needed to be, be insecure, overthink. He was 9 YEARS older. The facts are that his maturity level seems arguably the same despite that age gap. And i feel like we put her maturity at the standards of a 30 year old. I agree she was acting immature and overthinking but when i think back to how i was at 21, i cant find myself able to say that i would act any different.

It was the gaslighting that pissed me off lol

Watching him try to learn the lyrics as he watches is the BEST part👏👏

Your reaction at 5:27 made me subscribe bro I was dying😭😭😭

Really enjoyed the reaction. You have great comments about the lyrics especially. Keep it up!

I’m sure u already know this is about Jake gylenasshat. Loved watching this as a swiftie ♥️

Check out this song when she did it on SNL its spectacular. I cry every time i hear this song. Its DEEP

Totally crying with you too 😭🙌🏽

18:07 - 19-06 is incredible

Realized this last night after doing a deep dive on Swift...
There's a saying "A picture can paint a thousand words", we all know it...BUT!!
Sometimes, with the right song writer, a lyric can paint a picture!!...tell me if you've ever heard that!!...

First video of you I’ve watched and I think I fell I love, we both love t swift lyrics and I also love those wine glasses been looking for them forever now 😂 also do more t swift other good songs are breath, tell me why, cold as you, Tim McGraw, I almost do, the last time, the moment I knew( connected to this song and her 21st birthday), dear John, last kiss… I’ll stop because those are just her old albums

I'm glad I came across this reaction. I enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you for this! Haha

Oh my gosh you nailed this.

Lol. Best reaction to this by far.

She's dramatically younger than him 🤣 that def impacts his obligation to her in a social situation.

Lmao I still start to sing and vibe exactly like you did and I saw her perform when she was 16. It's still the exact same. Welcome swiftie ❤

Ok, it's refreshing to know you can tear up😂

He was also wearing her red scarf at the end in case y’all didn’t noticed 😂

You almost crying makes me want to suggest Ronan by TS. It’s beautifully written and produced and will break your heart every time.

THİS SONG İS FUCKİNG MASTERPİECE

Great reaction!❤ there was a 10 year age gap so that was the main undertone of the story

I loved your take on their argument about the dinner party. Like sure, it totally could've been done subconsciously, but all he had to say was something like "It genuinely was an accident, but I won't do it again. I'm sorry." And that whole situation wouldn't have even happened. Apologizing because you're backed into a corner and "have to" make-up, doesn't mean anything. Especially if you're going to belittle the issue while apologizing lol.

Love your commentary, def gonna keep watching you!

My husbands and I are 13 years apart and when people say age is just a number or you are mature for you age while all that might be true there is going to come a time and I say this cos I went through it with him where the honeymoon is over and the arguments will not be “oh I’m sorry I hurt your feelings” they will be rough but the one thing that should never fade is the love and respect for one another and very important setting expectations and boundaries from the very first fight ❤

It made cry when I first heard it.

This is a MAN right here 👏

This is the Taylor swift I fell in love with

As a hardcore swiftie this made me so happy

You must see Taylor sing this song all yoo well on SNL live

i enjoyed this video so much! i watch with my gf and we laughed a lot!!

BEAUTIFUL reaction 💜

SUBSCRIBED. SO IM NOW EXPECTING MORE TAYLOR FROM YOU

this is the best react video o have ever seen

it’s been almost a years since i watched the short film and now i remember why i wouldn’t watch it a second time. shi made me sob like a baby both times

Thank you for appreciating the LYRICS.

Jake Gyllenhall called Taylor after this came out to apologise and tell her he wasn't aware of just how deeply he hurt her. That and to compliment her on the short film.
