At 7pm EST, Swift premiered her new short film titled All too good: Short film, starring Dylan O’Brien, Sadie Sink, and Swift, who also wrote and directed the film. Fans have thoroughly dissected the cast, particularly noticing that the age difference between Sink and O’Brien resembles that of Swift and actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who is rumored to be about the song. For reference, Sink was 19 years old and O’Brien was 30, while Swift and Gyllenhaal were 20 and 29 years old when they started dating, respectively.
And like any piece of content Swift brings into the world, there are Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the nearly 15-minute film. Fast even said Jimmy Fallon on Tonight’s show, “It’s funny how there are so many [the short film]. Let’s dissect below:
Scarf

The Scarf™ has its own folklore in the Taylor Swift fandom. (See what I did there?) According to the song, Swift leaves the towel at her ex-sister’s house, which many assume means Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake’s real-life older sister. Maggie Gyllenhaal even once asked about an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen if she still has the scarf, she replies, “You know, I never understood why people ask me about this scarf… I’m very ignorant about scarves. It is completely possible. I don’t know.” In the film’s fictional world, the ex shows up at a reading that Swift gives 13 years later, wearing a scarf.
Chocolate Cookies

If there’s one thing we know about pop star Taylor Swift, it’s that the woman loves to bake. While she 1989 Secret Sessions, when she invited fans over to her house to play them the album before it was released, she bakes everyone chocolate cookies eat.
Plus, another fun fact about this scene: Sink’s father is played by Shawn Levy, an executive producer and director for Strange things, the show in which Sink starred.

For the moment, let’s forget the fact that O’Brien has an identical resemblance to Gyllenhaal and move on to the very special wardrobe he wears throughout the film. O’Brien is seen sporting plaid shirts (a nod to the lyrics, “After the plaid shirt day and night when you make me your own”) and hats wool, both staples of Gyllenhaal’s wardrobe.

Reference “We’ll Never Get Back Together”
YouTube
While this part of the movie is silent, we see Sink crying in bed after she appears to have gotten away from the phone. This could be a reference to the line in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” (also rumored to be about Gyllenhaal) where Swift sings: “So he called me and he said, ‘I still love you. you’ / And I’m like, I’m just, I mean this is tiring, you know? / Like we’ll never get back together, like, ever”?

13 years later

This is obvious. Swift loves the number 13, so if she’s going to spend some time on her short film, it will of course be 13 years in the future.

(Swift later recorded it for Red (Taylor’s version).) She also has red hair in music video for “Bad Blood” out of album 1989. It could be a sign that she will re-record 1989 Next?
