A very cold and methodical ranking of SNL performances this season, coutesy of critic Stephen Thompson:
musical guest five times, dating all the way back to her two appearances in 2009. She's never sounded remotely as assured — as commanding — as she did in this milestone 10-minute performance of"All Too Well ." It's hard to hold focus for half that time on thestage, but this was a masterclass in pacing; in subtle tonal shifts and dramatic flourishes; in sly smiles and meaningfully held eye contact.
The presentation wasn't flawless — it didn't need the song's music video projected in the background, for example — but the cumulative effect was genuinely, unmistakably powerful. Equally quotable and heartfelt,"All Too Well " may well be the greatest song of Swift's career, delivered here in a performance that felt like a hard-won valedictory address.
