Taylor Swift opens up about 'moments of extreme grief' after losing masters
On Saturday afternoon at Tribeca Festival, Taylor Swift sat down for an in-depth discussion with filmmaker Mike Mills
It was about her burgeoning career behind the camera, including writing and directing a 15-minute short film last fall for her ballad “All Too Well.”
Operatic in its emotions and scope, the short stars Sadie Sink as a young writer who gets swept up in a seemingly fairy-tale romance with a charismatic but controlling older man
Midway through the film, Swift cuts to a particularly gut-wrenching argument between Sink and O’Brien’s characters in a kitchen.
“It is true that most of the time I was behind the monitor watching Sadie perform, I was physically clenching my chest,” Swift explained.
“All Too Well” has long been a favorite song of Swift’s devoted fans, so much so that she finally released the mythic, extended version of the track on her “Red"album last November.
