I personally feel like the scene where she's in all black and gets covered in gems is a reference to reclaiming her work and each gem represents one if her songs, because they coordinate with the album colors.
Yes and she stops and literally says “I can reclaim the land” as the necklace with her album colours on it goes around her neck… she always calls it barren otherwise
exile is the 4th track and red is the 4th album, 'exile ends' means red Taylor's version ends, it's time to re-record another album [which will be speak now, of course]
Thanks for putting this together! :) ♥ Also, Laura says at the beginning: "Speak not, tired tacky wench, clean!" and later "He tired of her quite [...] swiftly", later Danielle says "Bye, snake". I feel like this could maybe hint at the order of the rerecordings: "Speak not" - Speak Now "Clean" - 1989 "Swiftly" - Taylor Swift Debut "Snake" - Reputation
A few more things to mention: "Evaluator buttons" is a lyric from Speak Now. And we have the album colored buttons up until album 9, Evermore, but then we have yellow and red for the re-recordings of Fearless and Red. Midnights is obviously midnight blue, and after comes a repeat of purple for Speak Now. Also, the "1989" floor has a few more nods to that era, just in case the fact that it's floor number 5 wasn't enough. She has the Wildest dreams coat, and her hair/makeup reminded me of the Blank Space music video. Also, when the 'fairy goddess' pulls of her stockings it looks very Ballet-like, and Taylor struggles to be graceful. I saw this as a parallel to the Shake It Off music video because she also tries to do ballet next to all these perfectly graceful ballerinas. And when she's in the glass, you could call it a "marble bathtub," and there was a point where she was mimicking her 1989 era haters who painted a picture of her "crying in her marble bathtub surrounded by pearls." All those aspects are present in that scene, but she's having fun, again mocking the haters. At the end of the video Long Live instrumental is playing, "fighting dragons with you," which is what everyone was pointing out, but she also has multiple references in her songs to, literally, "being guarded." In Mine, she says "you learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded." And in Long Story Short she says "and we live in peace, but if someone comes at us, this time I'm ready." Oh, and the intro to the video also makes a joke about her name "quite Swiftly," and there was that same play on words in the dialogue section of the Anti-hero music video. I don't know quite what she's getting at, but that seemed interesting. (Edit: Thank you to everyone for the likes and comments. It feels so special to have people see and appreciate my ideas. Wishing everyone who reads this a ✨magical✨day!)
With all of these hints at speak now it makes me wonder. Why would she stop at 1989 before she makes it to the 13 floor with the repeat purple? As if to say. Speak now is next but first a quick stop in 1989. ??? I don’t know.
@@bkirstie yeah it’s def on hold for that, but so is Speak Now. Idk what for, but that’s still def the next album. I just think 1989 will be after that
When Taylor announced her Eras tour, she said “I’m enchanted to announce my next tour” 💜✨ I almost never pick up on Easter eggs on my own but even I noticed that!
When i watched it, I noticed that in one of the elevator scenes she had earrings that were a big purple jewel and a small red jewel. Purple is the main color for Speak Now and on the deluxe version of Speak Now Taylor’s wearing a red dress
I've seen NO ONE talks bout this but the in the last scene with the castle, the bell in the bell tower is like the bell she rings in Haunted on the Speak Now tour!
I thought it was cool that she chose Dita Von Teese as the fairy godmother who is this burlesque dancer but also a feminine icon who Taylor has said that she looks up to. And then there’s the fact that instead of dancing with the prince when she got to the ball she danced with this sorts of feminine goddess, so it’s almost like a reflection like she chose herself in the end.
After thinking more I also reckon the martini glasses represent the glass slippers! Something that belonged to Cinderella but others tried to claim.. like her masters. In the end they belong to the feminine (not the masculine aka those who stole them from her).
at the end when she is with Jack, she's holding a key. It's the same key from the vault. Meaning : she's the owner of the castle = she can record her previous albums. And as you said Nena, the next scene she's wearing "TS" hairclips = Speak Now Taylor Version.
Taylor likes to make dates that add to 13 Midnights -> 21/10 -> 2+1+10=13 Folklore -> 24/7 -> 2+4+7=13 Lover -> 23/8 -> 2+3+8= 13 Etc So she may do a date like 10/12 or 21/1 or 10/3 etc
So many easter eggs! Also, I know it's a long shot, but I really hope she releases Speak Now (TV) before her 33rd birthday. I know 'Innocent' wasn't intended as a song about self-reflection, but I think with the line '32 and still growing up now' would give a whole new meaning to the song and also fit in with the self-reflection vibes of a lot of Midnights songs. And I am praying we get an Enchanted MV!
Also concerning 1989 TV maybe being released just after Speak Now TV, at the begining of the video, after saying "Speak not" Laura Dern says "Clean", which is a song from 1989 And at the end when Taylor is in the castle and it's zooming out, there are two columns with the birds from the 1989 album cover on them
Also on stage the colors shift from pink to blue and are then combined, there's plenty of blue make up, gems, curtains - so blue keeps being important, too. (And, if I spy that correctly, there's five lightbulbs on during the stage scene, a sixth one not working centre middle left - aside from the stars). The 5th level scene also particularly gives 'wildest dreams'.
we should've known! speak now tv would be the 13th album and speak now is the only one she wrote by herself so its extra special to her! and obvi 13 is her fav number
I feel like there are so many references in this video, and even in listening to the lyrics to, that reference her leaving big machine records. Also everyone told Taylor she didn’t write her own songs or she wasn’t capable and that’s what speak now is, she wrote it all on her own. I think if each floor is a different era then it’s important to look at what’s going on on those specific floors too. Like when she enters the speak now room she’s by herself… reference to it being completely self written. And I got the vibe while watching the video and pairing it with the lyrics… that she is saying her exile with BMR has ended and now she can go off on her own and still be bejeweled and glamorous all by herself… which really fits into the speak now narrative. Why is no one else talking about this it seems so obvious!!
YES!! SAME! "I polish up real nice" Is totally a reference to re-recordings/reclaiming her music and making the "I can still make the whole place shimmer" is a reference to how well they've done. "I can reclaim the land" Also a reference to her reclaiming her songs. Her ghosting the prince at the end is her leaving her label and not accepting the deal they offered her to keep her songs. Her songs ARE the castle and she got them anyway. I think the two glasses may reference her old versions and new versions but I'm not married to that theory.
I always pictured Scott proposing she stayed with the label and her refusing in Champagne Problems… this still feels the same narrative 😂 reaching I know
I thought the "Exile ends" was counting down until she can rerecord reputation, because she can't start rerecording that one until Nov 2022, so her "exile" of her old albums is over soon. The key represents key to the vault tracks. The castle has a bell like from Haunted, the torches have some "Sparks Fly"ing.
On the third floor she starts off with a fully black bodysuit but jewels attach to her as she walks through and eventually she gets a necklace with the same colors as the elevator buttons representing her albums. Not sure if the bracelet means anything also but why would she add something that doesn't mean anything? I think in this scene she makes it clear that part of being "bejewelled" refers to her albums which reminds me of my tears ricochet where she says you wear the same jewels that I gave to you as you bury me and also you got my past behind glass but I got me - she can still rerecord her albums and make new ones and make the whole place shimmer. During the time she also sings "I made you my world have you heard I can reclaim the land".
I was worried that she wouldn’t re-record Speak Now, but now I’m reassured that she will and I’m so excited ‘cause that’s my absolute favorite T-Swift album 😊
@@davegreenbrown3331 Hey no worries! :) IT was just that after Red I heard that she was jumping into 1989, and I was like "Oh.... is she skipping Speak Now then? Aw :( " but clearly that wasn't the case. I was just being impatient is all.
Also, on the part where she's posing with Jack there is confetti which could be a reference to the lyrics "confetti falls to the ground" from Long Live🎊🎉
In" Bejeweled", Taylor has sapphire tears in her eyes right at the very moment when this is sung in the track ... In mv called "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey(with who Taylor recorded "Snow on the beach"), Lana has diamond tears ...
there’s a movie called Ella Enchanted which is a retelling of Cinderella story. And this MV is also a retelling of Cinderella story, hence the enchanted song on the background. ❤
I think the song in music video Kept referencing speak now because of speak now Taylor’s version. One of the lyrics even said “ I’m gonna re-claim the land”. I just LOVE Easter eggs in this.
The first things that I noticed in the Bejeweled music video is that in the elevator, she makes me think of willow. Then in the video she gives Wildest Dreams vibes. Because the number 13 is purple in the elevator, it could also mean that we could get a Last Kiss re-record as on of the first re-recorded tracks to be released for Speak Now tv. I didn’t really notice many of the Easter Eggs in Bejeweled. The first Speak Now related Easter egg I found was in the Anti-Hero music video where she’s playing the guitar with flowers on it, and I know she played that guitar in the Speak Now tour.
I don’t know if this has been mentioned but the pattern on the inside of the elevator is a pretty good match to the golden dress she wore to the 2012 Grammys. SN walked away with 2 Grammys for Mean that night.
Wait a minute. I recently read that she applied for some sort of copyright for Eras. What if this is so she can record Long Live and the fans and turn it into a longform video?
The first time I watched the MV I was specifically looking for Speak Now easter eggs. Then I saw everyone finding thing that referenced SN and I got so excited because I really want a SN TV!!! 💜💜💜
In the scene that she steps out of the elevator and she’s looking around wonderstruck, it reminded me of the lyric in enchanted “I’m _wonderstruck_ dancing around all alone”
I feel like she's said folklore/evermore weren't planned albums they were her way of coping with covid/lockdown/not being able to tour for the "lover" album/era. She also liked that tubmlr or twitter(?) theory that said the sky in the snow globe in the "lover" video was a "midnights" easter egg since it was originally going to be next after "lover".
the whole thing with the little pocket watch is massive....03/02......March, 2nd......Im thinking we get SN tv on that date cuz it still gives 15 days to listen before the eras tour kicks off
Omg omg u still thinking that? 😃 theres another theory that said that it going to be realised the 3rd of March of 2023(3+3+2+0+2+3=13) and fearless tv was realised 4 months after evermore, midnights is not the same but it can occur :)
So looking forward to Speak Now TV seems like we have been waiting forever...1000% my fav Album... I've said before this is my desert island album and with the bonus tracks we must get on TV version and the 10min Dear John version :):):) I just can't wait...This is the most excited I have been....Thanks for this... I also thought that the curtains were 100% speak now
Can u talk about the non speak now Easter eggs? Like the golden string dust at the first scene, the HAIM sister's dresses color for the albums, red, green/pink and purple, how the purple one said "He's gonna chose me", the fan of the three of them for the AOTY, yellow, blue and gray. The black pearls on the purple sister. (I FORGOT THEIR NAMES SORRY). Taylor could be Evermore cause her dress. The lights in the stage are from the SNTour as well, the sea shells lights. And all the Easter eggs in the last scene, TS for debut, yellow dress for Fearless, red Courtains for Red, seagulls in the castle for 1989, my castle crumbled over night for Rep, the archer statue for lover, and the long studio that u mentioned for Folklore and Evermore (Evermore could be the bonfire for Willow mv) also there's a catgorla (cat + gargola). And obviously, SN has the Dragon. The scene with Jack and the Key could be reference to getaway car or even the vault tracks. And the first dialogue, speak not, clean, swiftly and snake, maybe that's the order for the re recorded. Also people said that the Exile countdown could be for Rep being free in almost two weeks (November 10) so she could re recorded after that date. What do u think? Idk if there's more tbh 😅
I also noticed that in the end as she steps out onto her balcony, she wears a yellow dress. On the back of the Speak Now album cover there is a picture of her in a yellow dress too :)
This is all too exciting as SN is my favourite album. I can't freaking wait for the "from the vault" songs. Thanks for this amazing content! Looking forward for more lyric breakdowns (new and old). 🎉
I bought the Taylor Swift calendar and this week is special : 24 October : Taylor Swift self-titled album 16th anniversary, speak now 12th anniversary (25th October), 1989 (27th the anniversary.) --> same floor that she visits in the video. I also think the next single will be "lavender haze" --> lavender, purple, speak now.
She also teased speak now when she teased red Taylor’s version. In one of her captions, I can’t remember what it said but I thought red and speak now. Which I am sooooo happy, because it is also my favorite album! My first concert ever! And I cannot wait to hear fault tracks from it! And her matured voice!! Anyways, I loved your video!!
This is amazing , thank you for this . 💜 I just wanted to add something that I noticed in the video . The scene where it says "she ghosted" after the proposal , it could be a reference to the song 'Haunted' .
I also noticed that when she takes off her cloak when she gets off on floor 3 (before the jewels attach to her) the cloak on the floor changes to purple then blue!
I’m 5 months late but, i personally think that all the eras in this video was for The Eras Tour. in the beginning of the tour the watch was a countdown for her coming out
The only music video where Tay is inside an elevator, is Speak Now "Ours" music video. Also she's re-recording Rep cause in "Ready For It" music video she wears the black hoodie and opens/closes the sliding doors. She was also wearing the Rep bath diamonds dress when she announced Midnights release. Feel like she might be dropping more than one re-record at near times.
At the beginning scene when her evil step mother said "Speak not tire tacky wench, clean" I think when she said clean it's a hint that 1989 is in the works AND that CLEAN is also the 13th track in 1989. Also, at the beginning from the angle of the camera, on the floor it looked like that the color on the wood is like a Gold String going towards Taylor which are in both Cardigan and Willow music videos. Another thing, also in the entrance of the 3 evil step sisters, on the ceiling there are like photos arranged and one of them looks like the cover of 1989. When she steps out of the elevator on the 3rd floor there are plenty of jewels suspended in the air scattered and sparkling and I think this is a reference to Sparks Fly. On the human sized cocktail glass/water goblet she is wearing a jewel studded dress and I think it's a reference to the scene in Look What You Made Me Do wherein she's in a bathtub covered in jewelries. And on the 13th floor where Taylor is performing, her evil step sisters entered the door and screaming is like what would be happening when someone is trying to stop or prevent something(like in a wedding, speak now or forever hold your peace) which is another reference to Speak Now.
I also noticed that Taylor’s sparkly hood and how it looks a lot like ready for it and willow, ready for it and willow are both track ones. I do t know if that means anything but I just noticed that
I saw a theory that because she's sewing the ready for it cloak and looks at Jack's picture it means they're working on rep tv, and because in the end she's wearing TS pins it could mean debut tv will be the last rerelease
Dang that’s good! Also I’ve thought for a while that her debut album would be last and maybe it would be a double album kind of like what she did with red but I dont know I feel like she has to do something special for her first, self titled, debut album!
The castle in the end is the image of the Neuschwantesian castle(I think I spelt it wrong😅)from southern Germany which Taylor visited back in 2011 that's the speak now era💜💜
her hair and the fur shawl thing and the fact that she's splashing around in a martini glass reminded me of the you need to calm down music video when she's wearing the pink bathing suit and shawl and holding a martini in the pool.
I don't know if it's only me but I think the scene where Taylor dances with the back dancers at 12:49 reminds me of ME! music video, especially when the back dancers are doing the fan thingy. Also the camera work looked more like a Tour Documentary instead of an MV. I hope this nods to the cancelled Lover Tour, saying that she'll be on tour soon!!
I think the TS hairclips could be a reference to 1989, because on the album cover Taylor Swift is written under the photo. Another hint that 1989 TV will be after Speak Now?
I read this is comment in her Bejeweled music video that 'Long Live' is the little music playing in the background in the castle scene at the end. Took me awhile to recognize but it's definitely long live!!!! AAH!! So excited for Speak Now! 😍😍😍
I keep seeing people make a reference to Dita Von Teese looking like Taylor in Wildest Dreams. I think that's an Easter Egg for her releasing that song earlier. She goes to 3 first and reclaims her songs but before she goes to 13 she stops briefly at 5 (1989). The whole thing screams Speak Now TV is coming next.
I know I'm late on this, but the look she sports when the elevator opens on the 5th floor (for 1989) gives me Blank Space music video. The hairstyle, the make up, all of it. Anyway, great vid!
In the clip where diamonds are flying on too her clothes, her earings are purple...(Speak Now TV) And on the third floor she walks alone, and she wrote Speak Now all alone!💜💜💜
One of the things I believe is on the elevator she goes to the Speak Now floor (the stolen version) & that's where she's reclaiming her songs from that album, then to the 1989 floor where I think she's referencing releasing some single 1989(TV) songs(like Clean) prior to going to the 13th floor, presumably the Speak Now (TV) album release. I also think there may be an Evermore Long Ponds coming out between the trace of the Willow video golden 'Invisible String' on the floor at the beginning, her look, the exile references & Long Ponds being in the back at the end!
As the sisters exit you first see three lights on the wall (2:00 mins), then all five before she smiles (2:04 mins). The two champagne glasses look like they are from different eras. Also: Standing on the balcony there are golden 'sparks' that 'fly'.
Also the glasses they are dancing in, Taylor’s looks like the crown of the Statue of Liberty (Welcome to New York) and Dita’s looks like the Eifel Tower …
- in that scene when the music begins after the dialogue and we see that framed picture of jack- first of all, it has 13 cats in it and that candle flickers rapidly 3 times like it's morse code or something- - in the on-stage scene the bg with all the gears is def from the mastermind lyric video - when we got that full view of the clock thing above the elevator where it shows the floors, the left side with the albums she doesnt own had cooler shading than the side with the albums she owns, which was significantly warmer - when she's holding that giant key it could be a reference to her "unlocking" her albums as in owning her masters again - also, the bell at the castle rings 3 times, has a 3 on it (in latin) and its awfully similar to the one in sn tour when she sang haunted - lastly, on the credits instead of a dash or something there are 3 dots in between the actors and their characters oof that was a lot sorry for the huge comment lmao i love ur channel sm nena
I got the Amazing CD (compact disc) of Speak Now Taylor's Version at a local Target store and it came along with a bonus CD of songs 'from the vault.' They also had this album in an LP version if that is correct for playing on a record player. Supposedly the LP album version comes along with some not shown before photos of Taylor but I could be wrong.
I read a theory that said that the countdown had to do with her ability to soon rerecord reputation, as the 5 year "rule" is over really soon. Other thing I noticed is the "kingdom keys" she has at the proposal. Is very LWYMMD.
REMEMBERED I WATCHED THIS BACK IN THE DAY and not falling for it! Even tho I didn’t commented or anything I remember the one specific thought my mind had and was: “THIS IS TOO MUCH” … but now 6 moths later I come here to apologize for a thought I didn’t even commented lol!! Felt chills just re-watching! Mommas a mastermind. How does it feel to predict the future? JK have a nice week ❤❤
talking about the 3yrs in advance easter eggs in the man mv if she was hinting midnights then karma that was on the wall in the man mv is that hinting to the mv of karma?? by taylor swift in midnights but than i still believe in the album karma
aaand... when the elevator goes to the 13th floor the part when taylor comes down in a big clock reminds me a lot about mastermind's lyric video (ITS THE SAME ) which is track 13th.
Long live was in the background at the end and in the beginning she looked like how she did when she was in the cardigan mv and then the evermore mv meaning she’s leaving that behind her and that’s why she’s in the castle wth long pond studio at the side
All I want to say is with the overall orchestra theme and costumes. It would be cool to say Taylor watched Bridgeton, I mean look at the parallels, Bridgeton introduced the orchestra versions of songs, impressing the Queen, those huge wig hairstyles. 2nd the very first seconds where the video starts, there is a line you see on the wooden floor before the vomit, can't help but think it was kept on purpose cause it is so similar to the golden string she followed in Cardigan & Willow(there are 2 looks which reference both the videos). And when the step mother mentions exile cant help but think that the golden string faded away during the exile and left a mark, and once it ended she's getting back the sparkle.

love that!💜
Her jewels!
@@dessieangel1021 "you wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me"
Thank youuuuu I was wondering!!!
Yes and she stops and literally says “I can reclaim the land” as the necklace with her album colours on it goes around her neck… she always calls it barren otherwise
Her being the only one on the 3rd floor could be a reference to her being the sole writer on Speak Now.
omg so true
Omg
OH
She also said one time that she would like to throw a party with all the writers because it would just be her.
exile is the 4th track and red is the 4th album, 'exile ends' means red Taylor's version ends, it's time to re-record another album [which will be speak now, of course]
Yes
and speak now is the 4th track on speak now
Taylor sang Exile live yesterday!!!
God I wish i was smarter :D
I feel like all the exile easter eggs were referring to her recent performance with Bon Iver. Bejeweled premiere was 3 days ago
Thanks for putting this together! :) ♥
Also, Laura says at the beginning: "Speak not, tired tacky wench, clean!" and later "He tired of her quite [...] swiftly", later Danielle says "Bye, snake".
I feel like this could maybe hint at the order of the rerecordings:
"Speak not" - Speak Now
"Clean" - 1989
"Swiftly" - Taylor Swift Debut
"Snake" - Reputation
That's a good theory. 🥰🙏
why does debut = swiftly
I mean I know her debut album is called “Taylor Swift“ but isn’t that a reach?
@@bkirstie I think of it as a call back to “a swift backlash” also
Man I wish I could add 100 likes right now it makes sense. 😆
and now we have speak now coming!
A few more things to mention:
"Evaluator buttons" is a lyric from Speak Now.
And we have the album colored buttons up until album 9, Evermore, but then we have yellow and red for the re-recordings of Fearless and Red. Midnights is obviously midnight blue, and after comes a repeat of purple for Speak Now.

And when she's in the glass, you could call it a "marble bathtub," and there was a point where she was mimicking her 1989 era haters who painted a picture of her "crying in her marble bathtub surrounded by pearls." All those aspects are present in that scene, but she's having fun, again mocking the haters.
At the end of the video Long Live instrumental is playing, "fighting dragons with you," which is what everyone was pointing out, but she also has multiple references in her songs to, literally, "being guarded."

yes.
Nice!😂
The name of them fits into something else I worked on a few months ago
I've seen NO ONE talks bout this but the in the last scene with the castle, the bell in the bell tower is like the bell she rings in Haunted on the Speak Now tour!
omg
if you look really closely it has the latin number 3 on it too!
I’ve seen a lot of ppl comment on this. It could also be a few other references in addition to the haunted performance.
I thought it was cool that she chose Dita Von Teese as the fairy godmother who is this burlesque dancer but also a feminine icon who Taylor has said that she looks up to. And then there’s the fact that instead of dancing with the prince when she got to the ball she danced with this sorts of feminine goddess, so it’s almost like a reflection like she chose herself in the end.
she’s the fairy goddess. also the cups are different (glasses)
After thinking more I also reckon the martini glasses represent the glass slippers! Something that belonged to Cinderella but others tried to claim.. like her masters. In the end they belong to the feminine (not the masculine aka those who stole them from her).
at the end when she is with Jack, she's holding a key. It's the same key from the vault. Meaning : she's the owner of the castle = she can record her previous albums. And as you said Nena, the next scene she's wearing "TS" hairclips = Speak Now Taylor Version.
“I dont like your kingdom keys, they once belonged to me”
Taylor likes to make dates that add to 13
Midnights -> 21/10 -> 2+1+10=13
Folklore -> 24/7 -> 2+4+7=13
Lover -> 23/8 -> 2+3+8= 13
Etc
So she may do a date like 10/12 or 21/1 or 10/3 etc
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) -> 7/7 -> 7+7= 14
Wait what…..that just broke my brain
Maybe she’ll release it earlier, 6/7! We’d freak out if that happen
@@euu2337 6/7 has already passed
So many easter eggs! Also, I know it's a long shot, but I really hope she releases Speak Now (TV) before her 33rd birthday. I know 'Innocent' wasn't intended as a song about self-reflection, but I think with the line '32 and still growing up now' would give a whole new meaning to the song and also fit in with the self-reflection vibes of a lot of Midnights songs. And I am praying we get an Enchanted MV!
YEPPP, like "I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser" "32 and still growing up now"🥺
I think a lot of the 3’s will make sense when she turns…33 lol🤷🏻♀️
how does it feel to be right
Also concerning 1989 TV maybe being released just after Speak Now TV, at the begining of the video, after saying "Speak not" Laura Dern says "Clean", which is a song from 1989
And at the end when Taylor is in the castle and it's zooming out, there are two columns with the birds from the 1989 album cover on them
Also on stage the colors shift from pink to blue and are then combined, there's plenty of blue make up, gems, curtains - so blue keeps being important, too. (And, if I spy that correctly, there's five lightbulbs on during the stage scene, a sixth one not working centre middle left - aside from the stars). The 5th level scene also particularly gives 'wildest dreams'.
Also the pose she does (in the animal print dress) in Blank Space is the same pose she does in the martini glass.
they look like bats
it’s the way you ended up being right omg
we should've known! speak now tv would be the 13th album and speak now is the only one she wrote by herself so its extra special to her! and obvi 13 is her fav number
Speak Now is my favorite too. So much nostalgia for me. Great break down, thank you! Maybe we are getting another Long Pond Session?!
OMG MAYBE evermore: the Long Pond Studio sessions MIGHT BE REAL, SINCE TAY ACKNOWLEDGED "willow" BY WEARING THAT HOODIED THING, SO MAYBEEEEEE
Also, there’s a bell tower on the castle at the end which is an Easter egg to the live version of haunted on the speak now tour
might be clowning but they say exile twice and the third exile is on the watch and the watch is counting down from three soo...
I feel like there are so many references in this video, and even in listening to the lyrics to, that reference her leaving big machine records. Also everyone told Taylor she didn’t write her own songs or she wasn’t capable and that’s what speak now is, she wrote it all on her own. I think if each floor is a different era then it’s important to look at what’s going on on those specific floors too. Like when she enters the speak now room she’s by herself… reference to it being completely self written. And I got the vibe while watching the video and pairing it with the lyrics… that she is saying her exile with BMR has ended and now she can go off on her own and still be bejeweled and glamorous all by herself… which really fits into the speak now narrative.
Why is no one else talking about this it seems so obvious!!
God I love Taylor
YES!! SAME!
"I polish up real nice" Is totally a reference to re-recordings/reclaiming her music and making the "I can still make the whole place shimmer" is a reference to how well they've done.
"I can reclaim the land" Also a reference to her reclaiming her songs.
Her ghosting the prince at the end is her leaving her label and not accepting the deal they offered her to keep her songs. Her songs ARE the castle and she got them anyway.
I think the two glasses may reference her old versions and new versions but I'm not married to that theory.
then the long live instrumental at the end when she in her castle
@@SLosieczka yup. Exactly my train of thought. Why has no one said it yet?!
I always pictured Scott proposing she stayed with the label and her refusing in Champagne Problems… this still feels the same narrative 😂 reaching I know
I thought the "Exile ends" was counting down until she can rerecord reputation, because she can't start rerecording that one until Nov 2022, so her "exile" of her old albums is over soon. The key represents key to the vault tracks. The castle has a bell like from Haunted, the torches have some "Sparks Fly"ing.
"Exile in 2" was an Easter egg for her surprise performance of Exile at Bon Iver's London concert two days after the video was released 😁
I love Swifties' minds, we're so intuitive and we're expanding our intuition and analyzing skills because of Tay Tay, that's just gorgeous 🥺✨💕
The Final floor has a similar feeling to Mastermind which is 13 track "None of it was accidental"
On the third floor she starts off with a fully black bodysuit but jewels attach to her as she walks through and eventually she gets a necklace with the same colors as the elevator buttons representing her albums. Not sure if the bracelet means anything also but why would she add something that doesn't mean anything? I think in this scene she makes it clear that part of being "bejewelled" refers to her albums which reminds me of my tears ricochet where she says you wear the same jewels that I gave to you as you bury me and also you got my past behind glass but I got me - she can still rerecord her albums and make new ones and make the whole place shimmer. During the time she also sings "I made you my world have you heard I can reclaim the land".
i wonder if each fan gave $1 couldn’t we buy them back for 300 million? she for sure has that many fans😊
I was worried that she wouldn’t re-record Speak Now, but now I’m reassured that she will and I’m so excited ‘cause that’s my absolute favorite T-Swift album 😊
Hello!! Why would you think that she wouldn’t re-record it? Absolutely no hate intended I’m just interested!
@@davegreenbrown3331 Hey no worries! :) IT was just that after Red I heard that she was jumping into 1989, and I was like "Oh.... is she skipping Speak Now then? Aw :( " but clearly that wasn't the case. I was just being impatient is all.
WOW, watching this a year later and its crazy how she said Speak Now (Taylor's Version) THEN 1989 (tAYLOR'S vERSION) IS CARZY TO ME
Ahhh what would we do without you Nena? Thanks for the very detailed breakdown!! 🙌🏼
haha i try my best!🥰
Also, on the part where she's posing with Jack there is confetti which could be a reference to the lyrics "confetti falls to the ground" from Long Live🎊🎉
😍💜
In" Bejeweled", Taylor has sapphire tears in her eyes right at the very moment when this is sung in the track ... In mv called "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey(with who Taylor recorded "Snow on the beach"), Lana has diamond tears ...
I LOVE SPEAK NOW, I'm really looking forward for the Taylor's version I hope it's next
there’s a movie called Ella Enchanted which is a retelling of Cinderella story. And this MV is also a retelling of Cinderella story, hence the enchanted song on the background. ❤
I think the song in music video Kept referencing speak now because of speak now Taylor’s version. One of the lyrics even said “ I’m gonna re-claim the land”. I just LOVE Easter eggs in this.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR SPEAK NOW TV!! it’s also my favorite because i have so much nostalgia for that one ☺️
Speak now tv!!! I’ve been waiting for this for ages ❤
SAME it’s my fav!
The first things that I noticed in the Bejeweled music video is that in the elevator, she makes me think of willow. Then in the video she gives Wildest Dreams vibes. Because the number 13 is purple in the elevator, it could also mean that we could get a Last Kiss re-record as on of the first re-recorded tracks to be released for Speak Now tv. I didn’t really notice many of the Easter Eggs in Bejeweled. The first Speak
Now related Easter egg I found was in the Anti-Hero music video where she’s playing the guitar with flowers on it, and I know she played that guitar in the Speak Now tour.
ALSO Taylor released the Midnights ✨3am✨ Edition, which yet again has the number 3 in it
We won! Speak now I see coming! Confirmed by Taylor herself wile on tour on July 7!!!
💜💜💜
I don’t know if this has been mentioned but the pattern on the inside of the elevator is a pretty good match to the golden dress she wore to the 2012 Grammys. SN walked away with 2 Grammys for Mean that night.
I’m hoping with all my heart that Enchanted gets a music video! And we might get a video for Long Live that’s like a montage of her fans
Wait a minute. I recently read that she applied for some sort of copyright for Eras. What if this is so she can record Long Live and the fans and turn it into a longform video?
The first time I watched the MV I was specifically looking for Speak Now easter eggs. Then I saw everyone finding thing that referenced SN and I got so excited because I really want a SN TV!!!
💜💜💜
In the scene that she steps out of the elevator and she’s looking around wonderstruck, it reminded me of the lyric in enchanted “I’m _wonderstruck_ dancing around all alone”
I feel like she's said folklore/evermore weren't planned albums they were her way of coping with covid/lockdown/not being able to tour for the "lover" album/era. She also liked that tubmlr or twitter(?) theory that said the sky in the snow globe in the "lover" video was a "midnights" easter egg since it was originally going to be next after "lover".
Finally someone getting most of the Easter eggs! Good job. Look at the back ground walls when she is in the elevator. I think that is from 1989
the whole thing with the little pocket watch is massive....03/02......March, 2nd......Im thinking we get SN tv on that date cuz it still gives 15 days to listen before the eras tour kicks off
Omg omg u still thinking that? 😃 theres another theory that said that it going to be realised the 3rd of March of 2023(3+3+2+0+2+3=13) and fearless tv was realised 4 months after evermore, midnights is not the same but it can occur :)
SPEAK NOW IS MY FAVORITE TS ALBUM IM SO EXCITED
SAME IVE BEEN WAITING
the short hair with the PINK dyed ends is screaming lover
So looking forward to Speak Now TV seems like we have been waiting forever...1000% my fav Album... I've said before this is my desert island album and with the bonus tracks we must get on TV version and the 10min Dear John version :):):) I just can't wait...This is the most excited I have been....Thanks for this... I also thought that the curtains were 100% speak now
I know it's just a joke but I see it everywhere and I'm wondering if I have missed something - IS THERE A 10-MINUTE VERSION OF "DEAR JOHN" REALLY?
Speak now tv is coming! Omg, the vault tracks!
Can u talk about the non speak now Easter eggs?
Like the golden string dust at the first scene, the HAIM sister's dresses color for the albums, red, green/pink and purple, how the purple one said "He's gonna chose me", the fan of the three of them for the AOTY, yellow, blue and gray. The black pearls on the purple sister. (I FORGOT THEIR NAMES SORRY). Taylor could be Evermore cause her dress. The lights in the stage are from the SNTour as well, the sea shells lights. And all the Easter eggs in the last scene, TS for debut, yellow dress for Fearless, red Courtains for Red, seagulls in the castle for 1989, my castle crumbled over night for Rep, the archer statue for lover, and the long studio that u mentioned for Folklore and Evermore (Evermore could be the bonfire for Willow mv) also there's a catgorla (cat + gargola). And obviously, SN has the Dragon. The scene with Jack and the Key could be reference to getaway car or even the vault tracks. And the first dialogue, speak not, clean, swiftly and snake, maybe that's the order for the re recorded. Also people said that the Exile countdown could be for Rep being free in almost two weeks (November 10) so she could re recorded after that date. What do u think? Idk if there's more tbh 😅
I also noticed that in the end as she steps out onto her balcony, she wears a yellow dress. On the back of the Speak Now album cover there is a picture of her in a yellow dress too :)
This is all too exciting as SN is my favourite album. I can't freaking wait for the "from the vault" songs. Thanks for this amazing content! Looking forward for more lyric breakdowns (new and old). 🎉
I also think that when Taylor goes to de fifth floor (1989) the clothes she wears are EXTREMELY similar to the blank space oufit
I bought the Taylor Swift calendar and this week is special : 24 October : Taylor Swift self-titled album 16th anniversary, speak now 12th anniversary (25th October), 1989 (27th the anniversary.) --> same floor that she visits in the video.
I also think the next single will be "lavender haze" --> lavender, purple, speak now.
Careful. Once you think you figured it out she releases an album you never suspected.
i know right 😅
She also teased speak now when she teased red Taylor’s version. In one of her captions, I can’t remember what it said but I thought red and speak now. Which I am sooooo happy, because it is also my favorite album! My first concert ever! And I cannot wait to hear fault tracks from it! And her matured voice!! Anyways, I loved your video!!
It also says exile three times: you’ve been exiled, have fun being exiled and exile ends in
3 times -> 3rd album -> speak Now
This is amazing , thank you for this . 💜
I just wanted to add something that I noticed in the video . The scene where it says "she ghosted" after the proposal , it could be a reference to the song 'Haunted' .
I was thinking this too!!
I also noticed that when she takes off her cloak when she gets off on floor 3 (before the jewels attach to her) the cloak on the floor changes to purple then blue!
so speak now than 1989 so smart
I’m 5 months late but, i personally think that all the eras in this video was for The Eras Tour. in the beginning of the tour the watch was a countdown for her coming out
The only music video where Tay is inside an elevator, is Speak Now "Ours" music video.
Also she's re-recording Rep cause in "Ready For It" music video she wears the black hoodie and opens/closes the sliding doors. She was also wearing the Rep bath diamonds dress when she announced Midnights release. Feel like she might be dropping more than one re-record at near times.
love ours, the video
At the beginning scene when her evil step mother said "Speak not tire tacky wench, clean" I think when she said clean it's a hint that 1989 is in the works AND that CLEAN is also the 13th track in 1989. Also, at the beginning from the angle of the camera, on the floor it looked like that the color on the wood is like a Gold String going towards Taylor which are in both Cardigan and Willow music videos. Another thing, also in the entrance of the 3 evil step sisters, on the ceiling there are like photos arranged and one of them looks like the cover of 1989.
When she steps out of the elevator on the 3rd floor there are plenty of jewels suspended in the air scattered and sparkling and I think this is a reference to Sparks Fly.
On the human sized cocktail glass/water goblet she is wearing a jewel studded dress and I think it's a reference to the scene in Look What You Made Me Do wherein she's in a bathtub covered in jewelries.
And on the 13th floor where Taylor is performing, her evil step sisters entered the door and screaming is like what would be happening when someone is trying to stop or prevent something(like in a wedding, speak now or forever hold your peace) which is another reference to Speak Now.
I think it’s so cool that we all just agreed that Speak now was the next re-record
SPEAK NOW STANSS WHERE U AT CAN'T BELIEVE ENCHANTED LONG LIVE DEAR JOHN TV IS COMINGGGG ❤
I also noticed that Taylor’s sparkly hood and how it looks a lot like ready for it and willow, ready for it and willow are both track ones. I do t know if that means anything but I just noticed that
so true!!
So fun to know that you were right! Speak Now and 1989!
I saw a theory that because she's sewing the ready for it cloak and looks at Jack's picture it means they're working on rep tv, and because in the end she's wearing TS pins it could mean debut tv will be the last rerelease
Dang that’s good!
Also I’ve thought for a while that her debut album would be last and maybe it would be a double album kind of like what she did with red but I dont know I feel like she has to do something special for her first, self titled, debut album!
she’s also wearing SN pins in her hair for speak now
I think the sewing scene is referencing Cinderswift a musical
The castle in the end is the image of the Neuschwantesian castle(I think I spelt it wrong😅)from southern Germany which Taylor visited back in 2011 that's the speak now era💜💜
Literally i found your channel a few weeks ago and i have been BINGING every taylor talk/reference/theory vid! I love them!
hi!! welcome bestie!!💜🤗
her hair and the fur shawl thing and the fact that she's splashing around in a martini glass reminded me of the you need to calm down music video when she's wearing the pink bathing suit and shawl and holding a martini in the pool.
I don't know if it's only me but I think the scene where Taylor dances with the back dancers at 12:49 reminds me of ME! music video, especially when the back dancers are doing the fan thingy. Also the camera work looked more like a Tour Documentary instead of an MV. I hope this nods to the cancelled Lover Tour, saying that she'll be on tour soon!!
I think the TS hairclips could be a reference to 1989, because on the album cover Taylor Swift is written under the photo. Another hint that 1989 TV will be after Speak Now?
10:10 she also has a purple earring on, like Speak Now 💜
Thank you for doing this video Nena really appreciate it 💜
12:17 plus the background is purple (for speak now) and when she goes on stage the background is blue (for 1989)
I read this is comment in her Bejeweled music video that 'Long Live' is the little music playing in the background in the castle scene at the end. Took me awhile to recognize but it's definitely long live!!!! AAH!! So excited for Speak Now! 😍😍😍
The Exile reference could be her hinting at her coming to perform at Bon Iver's show the other day.
nah
“she ghosted” haunted, anyone?
That's another good one that I didn't catch! Good job!! 👍🏻
Ooh, I didn't catch that one. Very sly.
i hope she takes out the lyric, “She is better known for the things that she does on the mattress“ not cool.
I keep seeing people make a reference to Dita Von Teese looking like Taylor in Wildest Dreams. I think that's an Easter Egg for her releasing that song earlier. She goes to 3 first and reclaims her songs but before she goes to 13 she stops briefly at 5 (1989). The whole thing screams Speak Now TV is coming next.
I know I'm late on this, but the look she sports when the elevator opens on the 5th floor (for 1989) gives me Blank Space music video. The hairstyle, the make up, all of it. Anyway, great vid!
In the clip where diamonds are flying on too her clothes, her earings are purple...(Speak Now TV) And on the third floor she walks alone, and she wrote Speak Now all alone!💜💜💜
One of the things I believe is on the elevator she goes to the Speak Now floor (the stolen version) & that's where she's reclaiming her songs from that album, then to the 1989 floor where I think she's referencing releasing some single 1989(TV) songs(like Clean) prior to going to the 13th floor, presumably the Speak Now (TV) album release. I also think there may be an Evermore Long Ponds coming out between the trace of the Willow video golden 'Invisible String' on the floor at the beginning, her look, the exile references & Long Ponds being in the back at the end!
I think the dragons breaking the castles at the end is saying that castles crumbling is going on the vault tracks
Me watching this now and knowing she just dropped Speak Now T.V Such a slay 💜💜
so true this me and than when nena said Speak Now T.V than 1989 T.V is next she is so investigative
I feel like elevator itself is a nod to Delicate from Lover, cuz we get a shot of elevator closing with Taylor in both MVs.
As the sisters exit you first see three lights on the wall (2:00 mins), then all five before she smiles (2:04 mins). The two champagne glasses look like they are from different eras. Also: Standing on the balcony there are golden 'sparks' that 'fly'.
YOU'RE RIGHT. THE NEXT ALBUM IS SPEAK NOW ❤
I think the "ghosted" could be a reference to how Taylor ghosted Adam Young (whom she wrote Enchanted about)
Also the glasses they are dancing in, Taylor’s looks like the crown of the Statue of Liberty (Welcome to New York) and Dita’s looks like the Eifel Tower …
THIS AGED SO WELL
- in that scene when the music begins after the dialogue and we see that framed picture of jack- first of all, it has 13 cats in it and that candle flickers rapidly 3 times like it's morse code or something-
- in the on-stage scene the bg with all the gears is def from the mastermind lyric video
- when we got that full view of the clock thing above the elevator where it shows the floors, the left side with the albums she doesnt own had cooler shading than the side with the albums she owns, which was significantly warmer
- when she's holding that giant key it could be a reference to her "unlocking" her albums as in owning her masters again
- also, the bell at the castle rings 3 times, has a 3 on it (in latin) and its awfully similar to the one in sn tour when she sang haunted
- lastly, on the credits instead of a dash or something there are 3 dots in between the actors and their characters
oof that was a lot sorry for the huge comment lmao i love ur channel sm nena
exile track 4 on folklore, and Speak Now is also track 4 on Speak Now
I got the Amazing CD (compact disc) of Speak Now Taylor's Version at a local Target store and it came along with a bonus CD of songs 'from the vault.' They also had this album in an LP version if that is correct for playing on a record player. Supposedly the LP album version comes along with some not shown before photos of Taylor but I could be wrong.
I read a theory that said that the countdown had to do with her ability to soon rerecord reputation, as the 5 year "rule" is over really soon.
Other thing I noticed is the "kingdom keys" she has at the proposal. Is very LWYMMD.
Soo excited!!!! Speak now it also my fave ❤
REMEMBERED I WATCHED THIS BACK IN THE DAY and not falling for it! Even tho I didn’t commented or anything I remember the one specific thought my mind had and was: “THIS IS TOO MUCH” … but now 6 moths later I come here to apologize for a thought I didn’t even commented lol!! Felt chills just re-watching! Mommas a mastermind. How does it feel to predict the future? JK have a nice week ❤❤
talking about the 3yrs in advance easter eggs in the man mv if she was hinting midnights then karma that was on the wall in the man mv is that hinting to the mv of karma?? by taylor swift in midnights but than i still believe in the album karma
Me and my bestie are trying so hard to score tickets for her next tour. Great break down!
aaand... when the elevator goes to the 13th floor the part when taylor comes down in a big clock reminds me a lot about mastermind's lyric video (ITS THE SAME ) which is track 13th.
You might have noticed Long Live being actually played at the music video's outro, if you only listened carefully.
Long live was in the background at the end and in the beginning she looked like how she did when she was in the cardigan mv and then the evermore mv meaning she’s leaving that behind her and that’s why she’s in the castle wth long pond studio at the side
All I want to say is with the overall orchestra theme and costumes. It would be cool to say Taylor watched Bridgeton, I mean look at the parallels, Bridgeton introduced the orchestra versions of songs, impressing the Queen, those huge wig hairstyles.
2nd the very first seconds where the video starts, there is a line you see on the wooden floor before the vomit, can't help but think it was kept on purpose cause it is so similar to the golden string she followed in Cardigan & Willow(there are 2 looks which reference both the videos). And when the step mother mentions exile cant help but think that the golden string faded away during the exile and left a mark, and once it ended she's getting back the sparkle.
also the clock from the stage is the same from the mastermind lyric video
I love the Speak Now album. I'd love to listen to it with mature Taylor!
