“Stop it,” Taylor Swift told the crowd at an interview when she was once again asked about the red “All Too Well” scarf, made famous in the short film of her 10-minute hit song.
In a video posted by Rolling Stone and photos posted by Variety, the singer is at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). She was interviewed by CEO Cameron Bailey and screened the “All Too Well” short film on 35mm.
Asked what she could share about the scarf, Taylor said, “Basically, the scarf is a metaphor and we turned it red because red is a very important color in this album which is called ‘Red.’”
Following the crowd’s laughs, she added, “And I think when I say it’s a metaphor, I’m just gonna stop [and leave it at that.] And I’m gonna say thanks for the incredible question.”
The scarf in question was famously mentioned in the her heartbreak anthem "All Too Well" — if the lyrics are to be believed, Taylor left the accessory in her ex's sister's house, and he kept it. It is widely speculated that the song was inspired by Jake Gyllenhaal.
In the short film video of the song's 10-minute version, the said scarf made an appearance. However, it was notably a red color, instead of the black that fans had spotted Swift and Gyllenhaal wearing.
“All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” was part of her re-recorded “Red” album released in 2021. Taylor also directed the short film which starred Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
