Red (Taylor's Version), the song got a 10-minute short film.
Swifties were delighted to see their favorite song get a music video and to finally hear the 10-minute version they spent a decade begging for. However, "All Too Well" isn't the only song Swifties have wanted a music video for. There's also a reputation track that Swift could give the "All Too Well" treatment to.
Getaway Car Deserves A Music Video
The Reputation Song Was Always Worthy Of A Video
The love that fans immediately showed for "All Too Well" upon Red's release is quite similar to how they reacted to "Getaway Car" on reputation. The song was never an official single, but that didn't stop fans from begging Swift for a music video. In 2019, Swift met some fans outside Paris radio station NRJ, where they asked when she was releasing the "Getaway Car" music video. The singer laughed and confessed it wasn't getting one because it was never a single. However, Swift is well aware of how much fans love the song.
Giving it a music video the way she gave "All Too Well" a short film would be the perfect way to thank them for their . While there never was a music video, there were some cool tour visuals at the Reputation Stadium Tour that could act as inspiration. Before Swift performed the song, a screen showed visuals of her in a desert in a little black car. The car was parked on a pink painted X to represent the lyrics "X marks the spot where we fell apart."
How Taylor Swift Hinted At Reputation And Debut Taylor's Versions At The Final Eras Show
At the final Eras tour show, Taylor Swift teased the release of her final two rerecordings, Reputation and Debut Taylor's Versions.
It would be cool if Swift returned to these visuals for a complete music video for reputation (Taylor's Version). However, Swifties would agree that reputation has always felt like a nighttime city album, and a New York City-based music video would also be a cool idea. Another interesting concept would be a video inspired by the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, as the singer name-drops the notorious couple in the bridge of "Getaway Car."
Why Swifties Love Getaway Car So Much
The Song Is A Fan-Favorite Reputation Track
Like many of Taylor Swift's songs, fans tend to favor those with the strongest lyrics. "All Too Well" became the hit it is today because of its well-written and heart-wrenching bridge. The same goes for "Getaway Car." Swift had transitioned to pop music, and in some of the album's other songs and a few songs from 1989, she was more focused on catchy pop beats than poetic lyrics.
You were drivin' the getaway car
We were flyin', but we'd never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me
However, Swift went back to her roots with "Getaway Car," as lines like "It was the great escape the prison break / The light of freedom on my face" reflected Swift's earlier clever writing skills. Swifties also adore the "Getaway Car" bridge and loved it even more when Swift and Jack Antonoff released a behind-the-scenes video of them writing it. The two seemed to be having the time of their lives as they yelled out ideas until they simultaneously came up with the final line, and the song felt complete.
Antonoff's signature production also made the song a fan-favorite, and it was extra special when he ed Swift at her Eras Tour to sing it live. Since Swifties are so excited about reputation (Taylor's Version) and Taylor Swift is known for giving her fans special surprises, a "Getaway Car" music video would be the perfect addition to the re-recorded album.
