Taylor Swift is giving insight into something she does all too well, that being directing.

The pop superstar shared a behind the scenes look into the making of her short film for her acclaimed song ‘All Too Well.’

Directed by Swift, the short film stars ‘Stranger Things’ actress Sadie Sink and ‘Teen Wolf’ star Dylan O’Brien.

Reflecting on the process of making the film, she said:

“The first seeds of this short film were planted over ten years ago, and I’ll never forget the behind the scenes moments of the shoot. I owe everything to Sadie Sink, Dylan O’Brien, my incredible DP Rina Yang and my producer Saul Germaine.”

She also thanked the other actors as well as the crew members who worked on the project.

‘All Too Well’ originally appeared on Swift’s ‘Red’ album before being revamped into a 10-minute version for the re-recorded version of the album.

A testament to its enduring popularity came Tuesday night (December 13) when Sheeran – who is getting set for the 2023 leg of his hotly-selling ‘Mathematics Tour’ – gave his beloved North American fans (affectionately called #Sheerios) a taste of what to expect on the jaunt when he dropped by ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert‘ to give ‘Habits’ another live spin.

Marking his second visit to the platform in as many months, look inside to see how he fared.
