Eyeliner and Cigarettes

Taylor and Dylan being each other’s biggest fans

I’ll never stop screaming about how her piano versions of her songs almost completely change the meaning and intention without changing a single word and how genius it is. 

forever and always (piano version) takes the heat of teen rage and turns it on its head to the underlying sadness and deep hurt of betrayal.

out of the woods (grammy museum performance) takes a really manic, anxious fear and turns it to a quiet, hope-tinged worry.

and all too well (long pond version) takes a strained pleading of a girl begging her ex-lover to validate what she thought their relationship was and turns it into a melancholy, distant remembering. 

2012 Taylor is singing ATW10, but 2021 Taylor with 10 years of hindsight on a relationship that she can see the negative impact of throughout her entire 20s is singing All Too Well (long pond).
