"All Too Well" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was developed by Swift on the Speak Now World Tour in 2011, and she co-wrote the final version with Liz Rose. The song was first produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman for her fourth studio album, Red (2012). After a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of Swift's masters, she re-recorded the song as "Taylor's Version" and released an unabridged "10 Minute Version" as part of the re-recorded album Red (Taylor's Version) in November 2021.^[a]

The lyrics of "All Too Well" narrate a failed romantic relationship, using expository details to recall the intimate memories and explore the painful aftermath. The detail of a scarf that the narrator left at the house of her former lover's sister generated widespread interpretations and became a popular culture phenomenon. The 2012 version is a slow-burning power ballad combining styles of country, folk, and rock music. The "10 Minute Version", produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, has an atmospheric pop rock production. Swift performed the song at the 2014 Grammy Awards and included it in the set lists for two of her world tours: the Red Tour (2013–2014) and the Eras Tour (2023–2024).

"All Too Well" charted in Canada and the United States in 2012, and the "Taylor's Version" re-recording peaked atop the Billboard Global 200 and became the longest song to top the US Billboard Hot 100; it reached number one on charts in several other countries. Music critics generally regard "All Too Well" as Swift's best song and praise its evocative and detail-heavy lyricism. Rolling Stone included it at number 69 in their 2021 revision of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Critics praised the "10 Minute Version" for providing a richer context with its additional verses; it received a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. It was accompanied by a short film directed by Swift.
