WARNING: SPOILERS. buzzfeed.com/ryanschocket2/…
On Friday, Taylor Swift dropped "All Too Well: The Short Film." The heartbreaking, beautifully shot video — which stars Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien as Him and Her, respectively — explores the story behind the fan-favorite, forever-enshrined song "All Too Well." 
The video shows a young woman navigating a tumultuous relationship with an older man, culminating in a heart-wrenching break-up and, ultimately, a fresh start.
Watching this film, I've sang, cried, and yelled "Give everyone involved an Oscar." It truly is an amazing work of art. And what makes it so great was the way Taylor included small details, references, and Easter eggs throughout. Here are some of the best:bzfd.it/3FgUssO
The Mercedes in the video is a 1989 Benz, which led a lot of people to speculate that 1989 may be the next album rerecording she’ll release
The scarf is an obvious one, but it's been so mythologized by Taylor and the fandom for years. In the video, we see Her wearing the scarf, leaving it on the banister, and eventually, we see it worn by Him after the dissolution of the relationship.
The "All Too Well" book revealed at the end resembles Alice's Adventures in Wonderland's cover.
"Wonderland" is a track from 1989, which features the lyrics: "We took a wrong turn and we fell down a rabbit hole."
Maybe 1989 has a very good chance of being released next 👀

Another slightly obvious one for Swifties — we see what could be the infamous birthday celebration that Taylor's boyfriend at the time didn't show up for. It's referenced in the film and in "The Moment I Knew," and clearly played a role in the breakup.
The film's birthday scene references the "Lover" birthday scene. The ATW shirt is similar to the "Lover" dress. The fact that her boyfriend showed up for her birthday during "Lover" showed how she was able to move on to a healthy relationship with Joe Alwyn (who "Lover" is about)
Taylor's lucky, iconic number 13 plays a role in the short film. First, it starts at the 0:13 mark when Her says, "Are you for real?"
Then, at the 13:00 mark, we see "Written and Directed By Taylor Swift." Making her short film directorial debut is a big moment for Taylor.
