在原版專輯的九週年紀念日後沒多久,Taylor Swift 發行了她重錄計畫的第二部——《Red (Taylor’s Version)》,這張被視為她早期作品中最優秀的專輯在重錄版本發行前便累積了許多期待,每個人都想要聽聽 Taylor 會如何詮釋這九年前的作品,更重要的是,聽聽那傳聞中的〈All Too Well〉十分鐘版本。
It never would have been possible to go back & remake my previous work, uncovering lost art & forgotten gems along the way if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Now we begin again. Red (my version) is outhttps://t.co/ZUAWDuv4jL pic.twitter.com/Ji26KdOlWQ

回顧 All Too Well 的歷史,一首非主打單曲如何成為 Taylor Swift 最重要的歌曲之一
在 Reputation 的演唱會舞台上,Taylor 用以下這段話介紹了他接下來表演的曲目〈All Too Well〉:「與我的其他歌曲相比,這首歌曲是你們最常要求我演唱的歌曲,而這首歌甚至不是主打單曲,」她接著說道,「我想既然你們讓這首歌變成了一個難以置信的體驗,我將演唱這首與其他曲目相比被你們要求非常多次的歌曲,若你們能盡你所能地大聲地跟我一起唱一定會非常地精彩。」
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
當 Taylor Swift 發行她的第四張專輯《Red》時,她選擇了輕快流行的〈We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together〉作為專輯首波主打,這首歌曲也如願以償地讓 Taylor 拿下她的第一首告示牌冠軍單曲。隨著首波流行主打的成功,《Red》接續的單曲,包括〈I Knew You Were Trouble〉與〈22〉,都獲得了極佳的成績;然而在過了九年之後,當流行樂壇的取向經過多次變遷,在眾多粉絲與樂評心中仍有屹立不搖的地位的歌曲,竟是連單曲都不是的〈All Too Well〉。

〈All Too Well〉最被人讚賞的是 Taylor 那錐心刺骨、有如一部電影般的詞句,歌詞描述了她與演員 Jake Gyllenhaal(參演過電影《斷背山》、《獨家腥聞》、《私法爭鋒》等)僅維持幾個月的短暫戀情,Taylor 透過細膩而具象的文字堆砌他們從認識到分開的過程,無論是她詩意的的用字遣詞,或是她鋪陳故事的方式,都展現出她不同於多數流行歌手的創作才力,〈All Too Well〉甚至被 Rolling Stones 選為有史以來最具代表性的五百首歌曲之一,位列第六十九名。

Taylor Swift – All Too Well 十分鐘版本:當傳聞成為現實,十分鐘的傑作就此誕生
在〈All Too Well〉逐漸成為許多粉絲的私心最愛後,有個傳聞說道這首歌曲原先的長度為十分鐘,而能聽到這首十分鐘版本的〈All Too Well〉也成為了粉絲們最大的期待。而後,歌曲的共同創作人 Liz Rose 證實了這個謠言:〈All Too Well〉是 Taylor 在《Speak Now》演唱會期間的創作,起初的時長約為十至十五分鐘,但為了要讓歌曲更適合專輯,他們決定要將刪減至五分鐘左右的長度。

在某次粉絲問答時,有個人問了 Taylor 將〈All Too Well〉十分鐘版本放到哪兒,當時她還開玩笑的說「藏在了抽屜裡」,這個玩笑成為了粉絲之間的迷因,也讓這十分鐘的版本披上了更加神秘的色彩。令眾多粉絲欣喜若狂的是,在 Taylor 公布她即將發行重錄版本的《Red》時,暗示了重錄專輯中將會收錄一首十分鐘長的新曲,也就我們千呼萬喚九年的〈All Too Well〉十分鐘版本。

Taylor 送給粉絲的禮物!找來 Dylan O’Brien 與 Sadie Sink 演出 All Too Well 音樂短片
在 Late Night with Seth Meyers 的訪問中,Taylor 透露她會參考粉絲的意見,決定要為哪首歌曲拍攝 MV:「他們會讓我知道哪一首歌曲應該成為單曲。他們會讓我知道應該要為哪一首沒有音樂錄影帶的歌曲拍攝 MV。我會聽取他們的意見,而我也正在拍攝這些歌曲的 MV。」

她也如她所說,為〈All Too Well (10 minute version)〉拍攝了一部長達十四分鐘的短片,由 Taylor 本人執導與撰寫劇本,並找來了電影《移動迷宮》的男主角 Dylan O’Brien 以及參演影集《怪奇物語》的 Sadie Sink 演出,其中 Dylan O’Brien 與 Sadie Sink 在短片裡的扮相與十年前的 Jake Gyllenhaal 和 Taylor Swift 十分地相像,完美地呈現出這首歌曲最真實的樣貌。

打破眾多紀錄!〈All Too Well〉有望攻進告示牌單曲榜前十名!
〈All Too Well〉十分鐘版本在釋出後沒多久便問鼎各大串流的排行榜冠軍,而其短片也在一天內於 YouTube 上獲得一千六百萬的觀看數,在如今這個各音樂人為了串流成績縮短歌曲時長至兩分鐘內的樂壇中,一首長達十分鐘的歌能獲得如此優異的成績,體現出了 Taylor 強大的號召力以及驚人的才華。根據媒體預測,〈All Too Well〉有望於下週攻進告示牌單曲榜前十名,甚至空降冠軍。

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
除此之外,《Red (Taylor’s Version)》也打破了 Spotify 女歌手專輯首日流量的紀錄,在發行第一天獲得九千五百萬的流量,超過了由 Taylor 自己的《folklore》創下的八千萬紀錄。這也使得 Taylor 在當日共獲得了一億兩千萬的總流量,成為 Spotify 歷史上第一個單日流量超過一億的女歌手!
隨著〈All Too Well〉十分鐘版本的發行以及其音樂錄影帶的釋出,可以期待 Taylor 在未來的其他重錄專輯中,花更多時間宣傳那些沒有音樂錄影帶但深受粉絲喜愛的歌曲,如《Reputation》中的〈Getaway Car〉與《Speak Now》裡的〈Enchanted〉!
