In addition to being the first artist ever to simultaneously debut atop the Billboard<\/em> 200 and Billboard <\/em>Hot 100, Taylor has now become the only artist to do so for a third time, and in less than 16 months! Taylor\u2019s new version of \u201cAll Too Well\u201d marks her fourth #1 debut on the Billboard <\/em>Hot 100. Clocking in at over 10 minutes, it is the longest song to enter and reach #1 on the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Hot 100 chart, surpassing the previous record holder, Don McLean\u2019s \u201cAmerican Pie,\u201d which was first released in 1971 with a run time of 8 minutes and 42 seconds.

Red (Taylor\u2019s Version) <\/em><\/strong>also secured the biggest streaming week for a country album with the largest sales week for a country album since 2013, becoming the biggest release week for a country album since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by equivalent album units.\u00a0 \u201cAll Too Well (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/strong>\u201d also hits #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.\u00a0 It debuts as Swift\u2019s ninth Hot Country Songs leader and her second this year, after \u201cLove Story (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, it has achieved the largest vinyl album sales week since tracking first began in 1991 with 114k sold, surpassing the last record that was also set by Taylor in 2021 with folklore\u2019s sister album, evermore. \u00a0With the release of Red (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em><\/strong> she also secures the record for fastest accumulation of four #1 albums by a solo artist in history.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the release, Taylor<\/strong> wrote and directed a short film entitled All Too Well The Short Film,<\/em><\/strong> inspired by the 10-minute-plus fan favourite song of the same name. The 13-minute film stars Sadie Sink<\/strong>, Dylan O\u2019Brien<\/strong> and Taylor Swift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She also launched a full-scale television takeover appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em>, Late Night With Seth Meyers<\/em>, Good Morning America,<\/em>\u00a0and Saturday Night Live <\/em>– where she performed a captivating 10 minute version of \u201cAll Too Well\u201d that lit the internet on fire along with a digital skit.<\/p>\n

The excitement continued with the release of the official music video for \u201cI Bet You Think About Me (Taylor\u2019s Version) (From The Vault)<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> [feat. Chris Stapleton]<\/strong>. The cinematic release was directed and co-written by Blake Lively <\/strong>and stars actor Miles Teller and Taylor.<\/strong><\/p>\n
