    Swift also released a 13-minute long version of All Too Well: The Short Film, telling the AP last week that the feedback she’s received from fans on the track inspired the extended project.

    ‘This is all about what the fans have turned this song into,’ she said. ‘It was never a single, never had a video, it never had a visual element to it, but they pretty much created their own imaginary cinematic universe for it, so this is just me following through on what they started and what they told me they wanted.’

    The latest release from the superstar songstress comes as she’s taken the undertaking of re-recording her catalogue after Scooter Braun bought the rights to her initial six records when he purchased her original label Big Machine.

    Majors appeared to promote his new Netflix film The Harder They Fall.

    This week’s episode of SNL will feature Simu Liu of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings as host, and Saweetie making her debut on the show as a musical guest.
