Swift approves of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s rendition of “All Too Well”
Pop sensation Taylor Swift recently took to Instagram to praise actors Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt for their cover of her hit song “All Too Well” during Gosling’s hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. The pair performed the emotional tune as a part of Gosling’s monologue on April 13, with the actor humorously trying to break up with his character from the Barbie skit.
Swift, who originally co-wrote “All Too Well” for her album Red, shared the performance on her social media, dubbing it “All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version).” The song has seen a resurgence in popularity recently, after Swift re-recorded it for her album Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021.
Gosling and Blunt’s cover was not just a tribute to Swift’s music but also a nod to their upcoming film The Fall Guy, with Blunt’s character finding solace in Swift’s lyrics. The actors infused the performance with references to their movie characters and shared memories, creating a unique and heartfelt rendition of the song.
Swift also released a longer “10 Minute Version” of “All Too Well” alongside Red (Taylor’s Version), accompanied by a short film featuring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien. The extended version delves even deeper into the emotional turmoil described in the original song, captivating fans old and new alike.
As Gosling and Blunt’s cover continues to gain accolades and attention, it’s clear that Swift’s music remains a powerful and influential force in the entertainment industry. Fans of all three artists can appreciate the talent and creativity that went into this memorable performance on SNL.
