Singer recorded track at Long Pond Studios with Aaron Dessner of the National and Jonathan Low

Taylor Swift is adeptly ushering in Sad Girl Autumn with a new version of “All Too Well.” She recorded the rendition with her “besties” Aaron Dessner of the National and Jonathan Low.

“One of the saddest songs I’ve ever written just got sadder,” Swift posted on Twitter, and it isn’t hyperbole. She said she drove to Long Pond Studios in upstate New York to track the song with Dessner and Low. Her 2020 Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary was also set at the isolated studio in the woods.

 

Like the track that appears on Red (Taylor’s Version), the song is an extended 10-minute poignant reflection on a heart-wrenching breakup. The shorter original track appeared on 2012’s Red. The new take earns its Sad Girl stripes with its soft piano beginnings buoying her hushed opening vocal, which receives touches of lush layering accentuating the emotional lyrics as the song progresses.

The latest version of the track follows the release of the epic Swift-directed All Too Well short film starring Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.

Earlier in the week, Swift dropped the video for “I Bet You Think About Me,” which was directed by Blake Lively.

Ken Carson has finally released Cartunez, the deluxe edition of Xperiment, and the project finds him making several bold moves. One of the biggest moments comes on “9 bitches,” his collaboration with ApolloRed1, where Carson appears to directly target Nine Vicious. The tension began after Nine Vicious criticized the Opium label and mentioned its cofounder, Opm Babi. Carson seemingly answers those remarks through the new track, firing back at the polarizing former YSL rapper. He calls out Nine Vicious by name and delivers several harsh lines aimed in his direction. Carson also brings people close to Nine Vicious into the conflict, making it obvious that he is ready for the situation to escalate if Nine decides to respond.

Release Date: August 27, 2026
