Taylor Swift Reacts to Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s ‘All Too Well’ Performance on ‘Saturday Night Live

The ‘Barbie’ star channeled his inner Swiftie to process a ‘breakup’ with his Ken character.
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s cover of “All Too Well” is Taylor Swift-approved. The pop songstress offered an enthusiastic thumbs up after seeing her hit song reimagined for Gosling’s Saturday Night Live opening monologue over the weekend.

“‘All Too Well’ (Ryan and Emily’s Version) !!!,” Swift gushed on her Instagram Story. “Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour. This monologue is everything.”

For good measure, Swift added multiple heart-hand and clapping emojis.

On Saturday, the Barbie star returned to host Saturday Night Live, and he kicked off the show by bidding one very special character farewell: Ken.

Taking the stage in a relaxed black suit, the 43-year-old actor knew what the audience wanted, but he wasn’t going to give it to them just yet.

“I’m not gonna make any jokes about Ken because it’s not funny,” he said. “Ken and I, we had to break up. We went too deep and it’s over, so I’m not gonna talk about it.”

But Gosling couldn’t keep his word.

“I actually am gonna talk about it a little bit,” he said with a little chuckle. “You know when you play a character that hard, that long, it’s just… letting go just feels like a breakup, and for processing a breakup, there’s only one thing that can help, the music of the great Taylor Swift.”

As Gosling took a seat at a piano, the lights went pink as he reflected on his bleach blonde hair, rollerblades and the Kenergy that swept the nation by singing his own version of Swift’s breakup anthem, “All Too Well.”
