Taylor Swift, Film Nerd: 'All Too Well' Singer Gives Rare Solo Performance at Tribeca

Taylor went into hardcore cineaste mode, appropriate for such a prestige film festival. She summed up her goals with a quote from Cassavetes: “I’ve never seen an exploding helicopter. I’ve never seen anybody go and blow somebody’s head off. So why should I make films about them? But I Mills was a totally empathetic host — like the dad in the song, he was charmed by her self-effacing jokes.

Mills is an artist who clearly isn’t used to hearing a theater full of screaming fans. As he quipped, “This is howmy Q&As go.” He was visibly shocked by the fan enthusiasm. There was a touching moment when Mills joked that he was going to feel depressed when he mentioned his movies and nobody screamed. Swift said, “I’ll show you. Who here has seen a film called?” After a massive roar from the fans, she told him, “They’re just really nice. Not just to me.

Swift pointed out Easter eggs buried deep in the film, like the red typewriter that the heroine uses to write her novel first appeared in the dude’s apartment. As Swift sees the story, the typewriter is a gift he gave her, to encourage her as a writer, because he saw her creative spark early on. It was surprising to hear her discuss identifying with the male character, who she sees as positive as well as negative. Mills added, “It’s a fucked-up journey being a guy, let’s be honest.

They also discussed the song’s strange journey, which is unlike anything else in pop history — an underrated deep cut that turned into a Number One hit in its expanded 10-minute version. As Swift pointed out, it was never a single, “because the label was never going to pick it.” Yet the lost 10-minute version became a fan obsession. “I promoted so many albums, and went on so many tours, and did so many meet-and-greets.
