Taylor Swift Reveals "All Too Well" Easter Eggs at the Tribeca Festival

As reported by Variety, Swift revealed that the red typewriter is a gift from O'Brien's character to Sink's character — which means he inspires her to become a writer in more ways than one. "There's this red typewriter," the singer said. "We meet [O'Brien's character] for the first time; we pan across a red typewriter. Later on, we see her typing on that typewriter. We assume he gave it to her: she complimented it and he gave it to her. He's taken a lot from her in the course of this [song], but he's also given her something: this dream and hope of being a writer. This experience is what galvanized her life and career."
