Taylor Swift Loved Ryan Gosling’s ‘All Too Well’
Ryan Gosling and Saturday Night Live know all too well how obsessed fans are with Taylor Swift. During Gosling’s hosting duties over the weekend, he made a big impression with Swift, who caught his opening monologue and parody of her song and short film, “All Too Well.”

In the opening sketch, Gosling crooned about his success playing Ken in 2023’s Barbie, set to the tune of “All Too Well.” Unable to let go of his Ken character, Gosling admitted to the crowd that despite his “breakup” with Ken, he’s got to talk about it at least a little bit. Giving more reasons to the excited crowd, Gosling adds, “When you play a character that hard, that long, it’s just — letting go feels like a breakup.”
Healing Through Music
There’s really only way Gosling, 43, can process a breakup: via the music of Taylor Swift! Gosling, who was in the Mickey Mouse Club and is a musician, sat at the piano and threw on some dark sunglasses. Wasting no time, he sings: “I shredded Venice Beach it’s true. My clothes were tight, but something about that spandex felt so right. I left my rollerblades in that big pink house, but I still got that fur coat and I’ll wear it right now.”
Now wearing the white fur coat from the summer blockbuster film, Gosling reclaims center stage and sings about the “Sweet definition” of his washboard abs and singing to Indigo Girls with Margot Robbie’s “Babs” (Barbie) in the car. “If I said that I was doing fine, you know I’d be lying. ‘Cause I was just Ken, and now I’m just Ryan!”
Ryan and Emily’s Version of “All Too Well”
His The Fall Guy co-star Emily Blunt interrupted the sketch at this point, as Gosling’s whole performance is carried away by his break-up with Ken. Blunt, 41, comes to the stage a few times to remind him that he is supposed to be promoting their upcoming action comedy — not continuing his song about Ken and embarrassing himself. Trying to continue with their Fall Guy planned monologue, Blunt smashes a glass bottle of Ryan’s head and a chair across his back to get him to snap out of it.
Gosling asks her if she ever misses Oppenheimer. Caving, Blunt sings to the tune of Swift’s song: “‘Fore he ripped the atom bomb, and a bottle of Jack! I used to be the alcoholic wife of a dude in a hat.” The duo began harmonizing together and sang about their “Barbenheimer summer” as the stage began to transform with props from both of their films.
Taylor Swift Loved Ryan and Emily’s Version
“All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version) !!! Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour. This monologue is EVERYTHING [heart hands emojis, clapping hand emojis],” wrote Swift of the duo’s parody on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, April 14.
Gosling and Blunt’s The Fall Guy releases on Friday, May 3rd. Watch the trailer below:

6 Wild Moments From Coachella
Coachella 2024’s first weekend came and went with a bang. The famous California Music & Arts Festival had us in shock and awe with amazing special guests throughout the weekend.
During weekend one, big names like Bebe Rexha, Tems, Victoria Monet, Renee Rapp, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Sublime, Vampire Weekend, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, No Doubt, Coi Leray, Grimes, 21 Savage, Lauryn Hill, Taking Back Sunday, Lil Yachty, and many more.
As always, famous faces were in attendance, watching their friends perform and letting loose with the rest of the crowd. Notably, Justin Bieber showed up without his wife, Hailey Bieber, adding to the rumors that their marriage isn’t doing well. Meanwhile, love birds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit up multiple stages, watching from the pit and getting super affectionate.
While folks were expecting perfect shows and wild special guests brought on stage during performances, there were some artists who dropped the ball during their set. Grimes kept fumbling with her mixes during her set. She told the crowd that there has never been a show of hers without a “technical difficulty,” and as she tried to explain to the Coachella crowd, she said, “Don’t blame me because it’s not my fault! Well, it’s partially my fault, but it’s not entirely my fault.” In the “classic Grimes fashion,” the musician added that her songs had been set to a double tempo and had to do “a lot of internal math” to try to get it sorted to play for the patiently waiting crowd.

On social media, however, fans were making fun of her meltdown at the technical difficulties, with users pointing out that this isn’t the first time Grimes has done this at her concerts. Meanwhile, one fan said, “This could be the worst performance in the history of Coachella.” She took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a formal apology to fans. Adding that she “admittedly am not in the best mood atm,” Grimes said her set next week “will be flawless.”
Besides the mishaps, there were plenty of awe-inspiring, wild moments from Coachella’s first weekend.
