The pop-country crossover artist gave credit to her cast and crew, captioning the clip, “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 @sadiesink_, Dylan O’Brien, my incredible DP @the_rinayang and my producer @saulysaulysauly. I also want to say thank you to our wonderful background actors and crew who made this story come to life so naturally. I loved every second of it and I will always remember it. All. Too. Well. The behind-the-scenes footage of ATW the short film is out now!” The short film portrays the age-gap relationship described in the singer’s track “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” from the album Red (Taylor’s Version). In the peek behind the scenes, we get to see Swift flexing her directorial muscles, with the Grammy-winning singer sometimes switching places with her actors to demonstrate the movements the characters need to undertake and even directing the background extras down to the finest detail. We see the budding director lay out the camera movements and timing with extreme specificity, instructing when zooms in and out need to happen and even the exact moments a birthday cake needs to be placed in front of Sink — and when she needs to blow the candles out. It would appear Swift’s attention to detail paid off as the video went on to win Video of the Year at this year’s MTV VMAs. The short film could be earning even more accolades as it is eligible for an Oscar nomination for next year’s award ceremony. Could Swift be adding “Oscar nominee” to her ever-growing list of honors? That remains to be seen! Next, find out Taylor Swift’s net worth—and exactly how she earned it.
