Taylor Swift gave Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt rave reviews for their “All Too Well” parody during Gosling’s Saturday Night Live monologue this weekend.
The night’s opening bit started with Gosling turning Swift’s classic break-up anthem into a prolonged, mournful coda on Barbie and his Year of Ken. About halfway through, Blunt showed up to scold Gosling for living in the past and not doing enough to promote their upcoming movie together, The Fall Guy. But soon enough, Blunt fell victim to the same nostalgia, delivering a verse about her time playing Kitty Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer.
It was an extremely elaborate bit, with dancers dressed up like Barbie and J. Robert Oppenheimer as Gosling and Blunt harmonized, “Cause here we are again back in 2023 with the Barbenheimer summer, it was just you and me.”
On Sunday night, Swift finally shared her reaction to the monologue, writing on Twitter, “All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version) !!! Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour. This monologue is EVERYTHING 🫶🫶👏👏”

While Gosling and Blunt are gearing up for the release of The Fall Guy — which premiered at South by Southwest and will hit theaters on May 3 — Swift is set to release her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, this Friday, April 19. Swift surprise-announced the album during the Grammys, and though she hasn’t shared any music from the LP yet, she has released the full track list, announced various vinyl versions, and shared a few lyrical snippets. The album is also set to feature guest appearances from Post Malone and Florence and the Machine.
