It's assumed Gyllenhaal skipped Swift's 21st birthday party, as is documented in the song "The Moment I Knew." "And they're all standing around me singing, 'Happy birthday to you,' but there was one thing missing, and that was the moment I knew," she sings on the track about the last straw in her relationship at the time.
Now, in the "All Too Well: Short Film," we see Sink's character celebrating her birthday with her close friends as she woefully looks back on the good times O'Brien's character used to charm her dad (who's played by the "Stranger Things" director Shawn Levy). On the wall behind them hangs a couple of childhood photos of him, which is also a lyric from "All Too Well" where Swift sings, "And your mother's telling story 'bout you on the tee-ball team / You taught me 'bout your past thinking your future was me."
Back at the party, Sink's character can be seen sporting a locket that appeared in the official lyrical video of the vault track "Run." The "Red" song "Sad, Beautiful, Tragic" also describes a similar locket: "I stood right by the track / Your face in a locket." Also, did you notice the Red gift box sitting among birthday gifts, as previewed by Swift on her recent TikTok?
