Taylor Swift has confessed she had to "piece together" the 10-minute version of "All Too Well," after losing the original recording of a raw, rambling rant that became the song — and the recovery was anything but simple. Read on to discover the full story!

How a 'rant' survived

In a New York Times Magazine interview on April 28, the 36-year-old superstar recalled that after the Speak Now tour she was in a dark place and kept playing the same four chords. What began as an unstructured, more-than-10-minute cathartic rant was captured because a sound guy burned a CD; Swift says she would have walked away if that recording didn't exist.
