A classmate in Grade 3 made fun of my nose and ears, said I looked like a Volkswagen screeching to a halt with both doors wide open. Messed me right up. Couldn't look in a mirror at my own hideousness. Never dated at all in high school. Got a nose job and my ears pinned back at nineteen but I've never really recovered. Somehow I managed to attract a gorgeous girl when I was 22 and marry her but I could never understand what she saw in me. I'm 73 now. Btw, welcome to the Taylorverse. We're the nicest people.
I think as a woman, I related to all of it but I have gone down the rabbit hole of wanting to be a “good girl too”. I think that is hard to escape from when we are raised to practically forget about ourselves and live in purpose to only think about others. While serving others is not a bad thing, most of the time we are taught to be “selfless” in order to be perceived as a good woman. I’m actively trying ensure I am taking care of my well-being first.
The fact that she was able to verbalize that her entire moral code was based on being a good girl. Growing up, me & my sister were taught that to be good person was to be independent & uber-competent. We were treated as adults from a young age, which was nice in some ways, but we were never really given any guidance on HOW to do things. We were expected to figure it out. It has definitely impacted both of our relationships as an adult. I also have ADHD & depression. That hyper independent mindset was not a good combo with my ADHD. My brain linked accepting/ asking for help with being a failure. I'm in my 30s, and I'm just now starting to untangle everything. Yay for therapy!
A lot actually. The wanting to be perfect & caring too much abt people's judgement. Also, when she talks abt being sorry to anyone who wasn't believed, I appreciate that.But in my case I don't thk it was that I wasn't believed....it was abt who he was. I was sexually harrased by my boss. I made the mistake of going to a "local" lawyer & they didn't want to go up against him because of his status. I left the job over what he did. Looking back I wish I'd went to someone he wasn't in the know with!
Reputation is still my favorite album by her. Both because I love the album, but what the album stood for. What Taylor did with that album and the subsequent tour. She took on the whole world's perception of her and she proved them wrong.
I'm a huge TS fan but I hated this album. It felt so contrived and inauthentic, like trying to take control of her own narrative yet she definitely played the game with her foes (and kind of proved them right).
I get emotional everytime I watch this documentary, I just relate SO MUCH to the "need to be a good girl" aspect. My entire life has been built around it and everytime I make an important choice I'm not sure if I've made the choice based on what I want or based on what other people would want for me, it feels like the line between those two are blurred.
Really enjoyed your reaction. That's the thing about Taylor, I think. If people really listen to her music and understand what she really stands for, then end up not liking her, that's fine. But I think the reason why so many people don't like her is that they haven't given her a fair shake and have just formed an opinion about her and her music based on what other people have said. That's not really very fair.
“You can’t escape what the brain does and you can’t escape what the body does…” God I wish someone explained this to me so simply, so concisely when I was younger. I just kept thinking that if I worked hard enough and wanted it hard enough then I’d become the ‘perfect’ me. I really hope others learn from her and from you!! Thank you for this ❤️
When Taylor admitted she had an eating disorder in Miss Americana, that broke my heart. I have been a big fan for years. I always thought she was pretty, but what made me a fan was how much love, work, and heart she put into her music. And how generous she is. I thought those things mattered infinitely more than how she looked. Is she perfect? No. Nobody is. She is human like the rest of us. I hope she realizes how awesome she is though at this point. ♥️♥️♥️ Her fans love her and really want her to be happy with her life and success.
and what makes me angry about the whole kanye thing is when the full call was leaked and proved Taylor was telling the truth everyone was like oh well it was just kanye being kanye like he didn't pretty mush destroy her entire career
@@jupterinabottle...3934 There's an interview with her on a red carpet where she says she didn't know ANYTHING about Kanye putting her in a song. Her fans freaked out. Then Kim released the footage of the phone call. THEN she changes it to "oh, I did know, I just didn't know about the bitch part". She's full of it.
@@jupterinabottle...3934 Also in the doc it shows clips of her going on shows saying "I eat all the time, I'm fine". Meanwhile she has a whole eating disorder. That's her business, but she clearly lies when it suits her.
one of the saddest parts of this documentary is when taylor is at the reputation stadium tour talking about her court case. You can tell she is getting emotional about it because she is stuttering and looks nervous, I feel terrible that all this crap happened to her she absolutely does not deserve it.
I really felt it when you said not being believed or understood makes for a lonely experience. I have an "invisible" medical condition and constantly having people act like it doesn't affect my everyday life is horrible and you explained perfectly how that feels.
Well for example my aunt has Fibromyalgia. If you just loot at her you would think she's perfectly healthy but she struggles with crippling pain, fatigue, and insomnia. So her medical condition is "invisible", a lot of people treat her like she's healthy and have a hard time understanding why she cannot do all of the same things they can.
I get it. People believe you have to be bleeding, walking with a cane, or you have been admitted to an institution before they will believe anything is wrong with you. It's frustrating. I have a pretty significant learning disability in math and struggle with executive functioning. People my whole life accused me of being lazy. But my brain just functions different so I have to figure out how to make things work differently than other people do. Same with invisible illnesses. My step father has Fibromyalgia. There's only so much he can do on a given day. But he does his best. And truthfully, that is all any of us can do.
I have both Fibromyalgia and Lupus and for over a decade its been I'm a hysterical woman and its all in my head. Its been crippling from so much neglect. I know exactly how you feel. I'm hoping soon to get the help I need. Its like you want to be seen and believed but your voice is silenced through ignorance about the condition. I wish you well in how you cope with it.
I really love how you took what Taylor was saying about herself and helping it apply to us and our lives. I really related to Taylor’s confession about desperately wanting to be seen as “good.” I have no clue where I got it from, but I’ve always felt like that. Watching Miss Americana for the first time made me cry a lot as a new Swiftie at that time AND as a person who related so much to her worries and anxieties.
There's no doubt in my mind that as of 2018 when she started making this documentary Taylor found her true self and there's no going back and we've seen it reflected in the albums that she's put out since that she's not holding back she's letting her full creativity out there I think her best years are still to come
I’ve watched this doc several times, I find it very inspiring and also I love just hearing things from her perspective and what she was going through. Makes you understand her so much more
I basically grew up listening to her songs (eventhough i am older than her!)..following her life..her careers. But out of all her great values, as an artists, singers, performers, or even as a human being...her honesty is what captivate me most..whats make me love her so much..& made me stick with her over the years. It reflects in ALL her songs (each her song is meaningful..teaching me bout how to navigate through my life, assessing my feelings & even my egos..that is if u truly listen to it)..her songs not just a catchy tunes..or love fantasy or heartbreaks..there's always so much more to it..to every song. & i always thought that i knew everything bout her..but when this movie came out, i was shock to a lot of things that i didnt know (i mean how she truly felt or perceived herself to certain things..) Im truly glad she's made this movie & reveal her tru-self.. All these years, i always think of myself as one of her greatest fans/swifties..& also her 'invisible' friends. Now, she's truly my bff's..& hope, someday i can meet her. 😊😊😊
I cannot watch miss Americana without bawling my eyes out, I’ve loved her my whole life and I never once went against her. I always believed her because I knew she was a good person, she always has been and always will be. She told the truth yet no one seemed to believe her, I respect those that stood up for her during those times so damn much and I appreciate them so much. I got made fun of for standing up for her, but I didn’t care at all because I knew that she was a good person and she would come back stronger than ever and prove everyone wrong. I love Taylor with everything that I am, everything that I have, I would not be who I am today without her. Taylor saved my life, honestly I wouldn’t be here today without her. I love her more than words can describe and although I’ve never met her I love her more than I’ve ever loved anyone else before. My one and only true hero 🫶🏻💗 her music is my therapy and her as a person makes my heart happy
Taylor has helped me come to realizations via multiple songs of hers and when i first watched the documentary i cried bc i noticed that i can relate to some of the stuff and she was saying things that just made me go: oh. It makes so much sense now. The entire "trained to be a good girl" part and the progress of it hit a little too close to home... But maybe that is a good thing, it means i am aware of it now and i am working to change it. I'm really happy i found your channel🖤
We love to see it! I think it would’ve been even better if the entire Kanye video had leaked when the documentary came out. There’s people who still don’t know that she was telling the truth all along and their entire conversation is out there. He did call to ask her to release his song and she explicitly said she didn’t want to be called a “dumb bitch”. The layers in this documentary just like in her songs are just unbelievable. Thank you for reacting! Hope you continue to discover more of her music, even if you don’t react to it. When you’re listening to the albums, pay special attention to the Track 5 in each, that spot is reserved for the most raw and emotional song in the album. All Too Well was originally track 5, even if the shortened version.
The idea of being good and not pushibg my opinion in others is really something I understood so well. The need of acceptance is really something ugly that made me make some bad choices in my life. Showing yourself is liberating in a different sense that since I started it, I couldn't go back. Taylor really felt more human with this documentary which made my love for her multiply greatly.
I’m in tears. Thank you for saying you believe us. I was failed by the legal system after six years of torture of reliving it all, I’ll be trying to heal from that forever. It can rip you apart.
Taylor has been such an inspiring person to me after I’ve watched this documentary, the same sort of complexes she struggled with about needing validation and not wanting to be vocal about her opinions and needs resonate so hard with me, she has become one of my biggest role models
I'd love to hear your thoughts on "the last great american dynasty" off of her "folklore" album. PS: Loved this reaction! It's really cool to see your thoughts on all this. Taylor is such an ispirtation and she will only continue to blossom!
Damn kind of got emotional watching you react to this. I feel like I can relate to the not being believed part. And not just sexual assault but anything traumatic ... and people calling you a liar. I had that happened with my family when I told them about how my Dad had child P and I knew about it since I was a child but it wasnt until I have an adult I realized how horrible it was. My family went against me and said I needed therapy but not cause I was scarred by what I had seen but cause I was making things up for attention. I even had proof but I was still the liar. Happened when I was 19 and now Im 35. Even after 4 + years of CBT, DBT, and talk therapy the pain is part of my being.
That must've been horrible. I don't have anything helpful to say, only that I empathise with your pain and you deserve better. Take care of yourself this new year, I'm so so sorry that you went through that.
I’m sorry. I know how you feel. When I told my mom, she didn’t believe me at first and it devastated me. I developed trust issues and resented my mom for long time. It was so hard for me to open up to people and fully trusting people felt impossible. I’ve gotten a lot better and I let go of my resentment for my mom and forgave her. Not because she’s changed but for me to let go of the anger. Sending you lots of love and light and pure magic your way.
@@ana_lynn_w2959 I live with my mom, too! And with my childhood abuser. It took a lot of therapy and forgiveness. Not of them, just for peace for myself. It doesn’t absolve them of their sins or wrongs, but I had to let go of the past so I can really embrace the present moment and look forward for the future.
When I graduated high school, I had to list out colleges that I was interested in. My mom was a professor at this one college and told me to put it in my top list. The reason was "if you fail, I can use my card to reapply". The argument Taylor had with her dad about going into politics reminded me of that time. I rebelled and applied for a top 3 college in my country, actually got in and graduated last year. Took me only 3 years!😝
My boss told me this, "You do not stop being a person when you enter this building." Your opinions, your political views, your religious views, your struggles, your problems, etc... That is a part of you. Being a doctor, an influential figure, etc doesn't stop you from being a person.
I believe the reason she came into her own was what happened in 2016 (I truly believe THAT was the catalyst for her major shifts) after the hell she, her family AND fans were put through (her words not mine) and came back THAT was the moment she decided she was going to do what was best FOR Taylor no one else. Anyone else's opinion be damned.
Let’s not forget as well on the subject of the SA trial, on the reputation tour when Taylor felt threatened by someone coming on stage behind her while she was on the piano so from the next show onward they rotated the piano so she wouldn’t have her back to the back of the stage
I hate when people say “oh I don’t like how Taylor swift don’t speak about certain things”but then, when she does speak, people come and say “oh why is she speaking about that” LIKE WTF DO YOU WANT THEN
My dad was furious over the whole thing with the Taylor is over party. He called Kanye and Kim assholes for hurting her. I was so sad for her and I was scared this was going to ruin her.
I don't know how or why your video came up as a suggestion on my RUclips, but I am SO GLAD it did. I really enjoyed this and I loved T Swfits' Miss Americana, I feel like it was so relatable, I don't know a lot of people who haven't constructed their entire self worth on something that was intangible or ultimately unreachable. I also loved that you mentioned that as people become professionals, their personal life doesn't disappear, it's worth repeating. 👏👏❤❤
It always annoys me SO MUCH when people say, "I'm not listening to their music anymore because I disagree with them." I disagree with almost every celebrity, but I can put that aside and enjoy their art. It's not that complicated. People are so ridiculous.
Yes but sometimes even listening to their voice puts you off, even if you used to enjoy it. Some people just can’t separate the art from the artist, and they don’t have to. Some things can’t be forgiven.
At first, I was 50/50 on being a fan of Taylor Swift because there some songs I liked from her works, I loved her creativity in her music videos, how she carried herself, and how she constantly fought against her nemeses. The other part was that I couldn't really relate to some of her works as well because she was changing, trying to meet people's expectations (which I didn't know about until her documentary) and I felt she wasn't being who she was, she wasn't being her authentic true self. Until her folklore and evermore albums. Her folklore album captivated me, made me pay full attention to her, and for the first time I felt that she was truly stepping into her power and speaking her truth and unapologetically being herself. Taylor worked hard for her success, her future, and she deserves it.
Just found this and love it. I hope you give her music a shot, there's so much variety if you don't like a certain genre! 🥰 Either way, thank you for being supportive of another strong woman! ❤
THANK YOU for saying that therapists and entertainers and basically everyone has the right to an opinion. Unfortunately laws are being made to take that away especially from therapists at least in my country and its really sad.
You hit the nail on the head when you said about differentiating our opinion from others. I think the issue is how much influence celebrities have over us. We hang on their every word. We need to remove that and see them as real people.
I just watched this documentary and I admire Taylor Swift soooo much now ! I did already after recently learning more about her but now ... she really is an inspiration !
You did 100 f#cking% better on this video than before...best ending line ever said with unbridled conviction and passion! Love that! Again great job! I can feel you are fully on your way of understanding and getting it! I hope you continue your journey!😊 Love to see it and appreciate you sharing! We welcome you with open loving arms and hugs to Taylor's Swiftie World...💘💘💘
this was such a great reaction. i would love for you to react to the folklore long pond sessions or at least her explanation of mirrorball, seven, and this is my trying along with the songs!! i feel like those have a lot of depth psychologically
Please react to Dear John! It is a song she wrote at 19 about a relationship she was in with a 32 year old where she was manipulated and used by someone so much older than her. It's an incredible song!
I nearly cried, I haven't watch the full documentary but I believed that I might cry 100%. And The Archer as the ending is making me really, really relieved but also sad. Don't know why but I just wanted to say this. I love this vid!
As a Swiftie, before “Swiftie”, was ever a term ( she was only on freaking MYSPACE when I started listening to her haha!) .. I love watching you become a fan in this video haha!!
I remember recommending this documentary to a friend, but then I added, just in case, "she opens up about ED topics". My friend opened her eyes really big and said "oh, wow. So truly this is something that can affect anyone, right?"
I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed the documentary! I saw your reaction to Mad Woman and really liked it, you should definitely react to "Happiness" from Taylor's Evermore. It would be great to have your input on that song as a therapist. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, for your evaluation, on Miss Americana.Taylor is somewhat, of a chameleon,because she wants,so much, to be love and accepted;(like the rest of us). Imagine being photographed,everywhere you go.💙💜💙
9:00 I have that same thing with being a journalist or scientist. How much to share my opinions on my channel still takes up a lot of my mental space because of it (even though my viewers have often asked me to talk more about my opinions which is really encouraging.)
7:09 after all this shit I’m so glad she found a partner who’s confident and who can transmit his confidence in her and you can see her being in the “IDGAF” mode lately
Also on the 1 year anniversary of her winning the trial during one of her concerts a lot of swifties held up a dollar during I think it was new years day
I think that she realized that no matter how much she tried to be a "good girl" people were always going to talk shit about her and bash her, so she probably realized she might as well do what she wants because people are going to be mad at her either way.
I had the same reaction to the "deserve to be slapped around" line too... so shocking and revolting and the woman reporter agreeing might be the worse of it...
New to your channel, youtube did its algorithm thing and put this video on my front page. I clicked on with with trepidation thinking "what kind of so-called mental health professional is going to make comments about someone else in public like this?" I was prepared to really hate what you produced. I was only going to watch a few minutes to verify that it was awful because... I guess I'm bored today? :) Thank you for surprising me. I thought your comments were spot on, constructive, and instructive to others. It makes me want to look at the other videos on your channel. ♥
I know that we had more important things to think about and we still do but the fact that after it came out that she actually was telling the truth about that phone call, it was just swept under the rag. Like it didn't literally kill Taylor. It makes me despise Kim and Kanye even more. They still blamed it on her saying"there are more important things to think about and Taylor was doing that just to stay trending". The media owes this lady an apology hell the world owes her an apology for destroying her.
Taylor is a strong lady,that went thru shit to get thru it” to get where she truly is” HERSELF maybe less of a perfectionist around others ? I think I’d really like her! Smart driven but kind and honest person it’s hard in such a toxic environment of music industry……Taylor I hope beyond your other beliefs,you take truly good self care of YOU NO ONE!
hey thank you, I dont know you but I love you, I needed that so much!!! I subscripet because you dont have any Idea of how much I needed that. IM sure that many others do it too, sometimes we just need someone to come and say the true that we actualy always knew just like this!!! when almost everyone aroud says I dont know just egoistic b.shit!!! It makes literaly A LOT of diference thank you!! ids a kind of wake up that in the same time its not just individual each one of us that do it like Taylor is a light in the end of the tunel to others !! its amazing!! n a sufring life time!!
All of this negative perception of Taylor Swift -- dissing on her for being feminine, displaying her emotions in her music, and being a teenager/young woman who makes romantic mistakes and experiences the resulting heartbreak -- has incredibly affected the perception that society has had on women as a whole. Growing up as a feminine woman in that kind of environment was terrible. Hopefully, as the perception of her shifts, the perception of femininity will shift as well.
I'm always triggered by my body, like sometimes I just don't know what to do. I'm always comparing myself to others, I always want to be "perfect" sometimes it's so frustrating.
Could you please react to Dance moms? There are literally several moments of anxiety in 8 years old girls provocated by the same woman, I'd love to see it
this is so sad i love taylor swift shes such a beautiful women and why is she saying shes fat shes not i am fucking fat shes litreally a barbie i wish i could be as beautiful as her
largely agree about the political stances issue. my mom loved pink, but when she spoke out and said which party she supported my mom stopped listening to anything by her
I’ve found that you could nit pick and find a million things you don’t like about yourself, change it all to whatever you think is better, completely change things or swap it around, do whatever you felt the need to do to fit your own standards, but I can guarantee it wouldn’t ever be enough. There’s hundreds of things I’d change, things I hate about the way I look, I know others who think the same way, some people would love to have what you have because they don’t have it and vice versa, but it would literally never be good enough, because the world would say it isn’t, we got what we have and love it or loathe it, it’s ours and it keeps us alive and it does what it’s suppose to do and it does a damn good job, it loves you even if you might not love it back, it still keeps your heart beating, that’s the important part.
What aspects of Taylor's story can you relate to? If you watched the full documentary how did you like it?

It makes me really happy that you went from "I'm not a Swiftie" to "I'm 100% a Swiftie" in like a month or two😄
No... she is "100 f@cking% a Swiftie". THAT, is a statement.
My favorite genre of RUclips videos is people who don’t like/are indifferent to Taylor reacting to her work and becoming massive swifties
She is really great! Sad I missed out on her work for so long because of my perception of her. She’s so talented and genuine. ♥️

I agree with you. I honestly can't understand when people say it's her worst album.
Reputation was the 1st Taylor Swift album I really listened to & made me a swiftie
reputation was her rebirth as a person and as a musician, she said enough was enough and now she lives by her own standards as she should
I'm a huge TS fan but I hated this album. It felt so contrived and inauthentic, like trying to take control of her own narrative yet she definitely played the game with her foes (and kind of proved them right).

Miss Americana made me a Swiftie! I’m so glad I watched this because I got to learn and love all of her music.
Taylor has changed the industry forever. Especially for the people like me who want to be singer/songwriters
I really love how you took what Taylor was saying about herself and helping it apply to us and our lives. I really related to Taylor’s confession about desperately wanting to be seen as “good.” I have no clue where I got it from, but I’ve always felt like that. Watching Miss Americana for the first time made me cry a lot as a new Swiftie at that time AND as a person who related so much to her worries and anxieties.
There's no doubt in my mind that as of 2018 when she started making this documentary Taylor found her true self and there's no going back and we've seen it reflected in the albums that she's put out since that she's not holding back she's letting her full creativity out there I think her best years are still to come
I’ve watched this doc several times, I find it very inspiring and also I love just hearing things from her perspective and what she was going through. Makes you understand her so much more
I basically grew up listening to her songs (eventhough i am older than her!)..following her life..her careers.
But out of all her great values, as an artists, singers, performers, or even as a human being...her honesty is what captivate me most..whats make me love her so much..& made me stick with her over the years. It reflects in ALL her songs (each her song is meaningful..teaching me bout how to navigate through my life, assessing my feelings & even my egos..that is if u truly listen to it)..her songs not just a catchy tunes..or love fantasy or heartbreaks..there's always so much more to it..to every song. & i always thought that i knew everything bout her..but when this movie came out, i was shock to a lot of things that i didnt know (i mean how she truly felt or perceived herself to certain things..) Im truly glad she's made this movie & reveal her tru-self.. All these years, i always think of myself as one of her greatest fans/swifties..& also her 'invisible' friends. Now, she's truly my bff's..& hope, someday i can meet her. 😊😊😊
I cannot watch miss Americana without bawling my eyes out, I’ve loved her my whole life and I never once went against her. I always believed her because I knew she was a good person, she always has been and always will be. She told the truth yet no one seemed to believe her, I respect those that stood up for her during those times so damn much and I appreciate them so much. I got made fun of for standing up for her, but I didn’t care at all because I knew that she was a good person and she would come back stronger than ever and prove everyone wrong. I love Taylor with everything that I am, everything that I have, I would not be who I am today without her. Taylor saved my life, honestly I wouldn’t be here today without her. I love her more than words can describe and although I’ve never met her I love her more than I’ve ever loved anyone else before. My one and only true hero 🫶🏻💗 her music is my therapy and her as a person makes my heart happy
Taylor has helped me come to realizations via multiple songs of hers and when i first watched the documentary i cried bc i noticed that i can relate to some of the stuff and she was saying things that just made me go: oh. It makes so much sense now.
The entire "trained to be a good girl" part and the progress of it hit a little too close to home... But maybe that is a good thing, it means i am aware of it now and i am working to change it.
I'm really happy i found your channel🖤
We love to see it! I think it would’ve been even better if the entire Kanye video had leaked when the documentary came out. There’s people who still don’t know that she was telling the truth all along and their entire conversation is out there. He did call to ask her to release his song and she explicitly said she didn’t want to be called a “dumb bitch”. The layers in this documentary just like in her songs are just unbelievable.
Thank you for reacting! Hope you continue to discover more of her music, even if you don’t react to it. When you’re listening to the albums, pay special attention to the Track 5 in each, that spot is reserved for the most raw and emotional song in the album. All Too Well was originally track 5, even if the shortened version.
The idea of being good and not pushibg my opinion in others is really something I understood so well. The need of acceptance is really something ugly that made me make some bad choices in my life. Showing yourself is liberating in a different sense that since I started it, I couldn't go back. Taylor really felt more human with this documentary which made my love for her multiply greatly.
I’m in tears. Thank you for saying you believe us. I was failed by the legal system after six years of torture of reliving it all, I’ll be trying to heal from that forever. It can rip you apart.
Taylor has been such an inspiring person to me after I’ve watched this documentary, the same sort of complexes she struggled with about needing validation and not wanting to be vocal about her opinions and needs resonate so hard with me, she has become one of my biggest role models
I'd love to hear your thoughts on "the last great american dynasty" off of her "folklore" album. PS: Loved this reaction! It's really cool to see your thoughts on all this. Taylor is such an ispirtation and she will only continue to blossom!
Damn kind of got emotional watching you react to this. I feel like I can relate to the not being believed part. And not just sexual assault but anything traumatic ... and people calling you a liar. I had that happened with my family when I told them about how my Dad had child P and I knew about it since I was a child but it wasnt until I have an adult I realized how horrible it was. My family went against me and said I needed therapy but not cause I was scarred by what I had seen but cause I was making things up for attention. I even had proof but I was still the liar. Happened when I was 19 and now Im 35. Even after 4 + years of CBT, DBT, and talk therapy the pain is part of my being.
That must've been horrible. I don't have anything helpful to say, only that I empathise with your pain and you deserve better. Take care of yourself this new year, I'm so so sorry that you went through that.
@@hannaheve868 Im mostly okay. Thank you and sending love back your way!
I’m sorry. I know how you feel. When I told my mom, she didn’t believe me at first and it devastated me. I developed trust issues and resented my mom for long time. It was so hard for me to open up to people and fully trusting people felt impossible. I’ve gotten a lot better and I let go of my resentment for my mom and forgave her. Not because she’s changed but for me to let go of the anger. Sending you lots of love and light and pure magic your way.
@@Porcelynnn I still struggle to let go of the anger because I live with her, my Mom. Im glad you have found a way to let go!
@@ana_lynn_w2959 I live with my mom, too! And with my childhood abuser. It took a lot of therapy and forgiveness. Not of them, just for peace for myself. It doesn’t absolve them of their sins or wrongs, but I had to let go of the past so I can really embrace the present moment and look forward for the future.
When I graduated high school, I had to list out colleges that I was interested in. My mom was a professor at this one college and told me to put it in my top list. The reason was "if you fail, I can use my card to reapply". The argument Taylor had with her dad about going into politics reminded me of that time. I rebelled and applied for a top 3 college in my country, actually got in and graduated last year. Took me only 3 years!😝
so well done!!! good that you stood your ground
Aww your mom was just trying be nice most likely ❤
When I watched Miss Americana I ended up being a 100% Swiftie too. That's Taylor's effect 🤣🤣
My boss told me this,
"You do not stop being a person when you enter this building."
Your opinions, your political views, your religious views, your struggles, your problems, etc... That is a part of you.
Being a doctor, an influential figure, etc doesn't stop you from being a person.
I believe the reason she came into her own was what happened in 2016 (I truly believe THAT was the catalyst for her major shifts) after the hell she, her family AND fans were put through (her words not mine) and came back THAT was the moment she decided she was going to do what was best FOR Taylor no one else. Anyone else's opinion be damned.
Let’s not forget as well on the subject of the SA trial, on the reputation tour when Taylor felt threatened by someone coming on stage behind her while she was on the piano so from the next show onward they rotated the piano so she wouldn’t have her back to the back of the stage
I hate when people say “oh I don’t like how Taylor swift don’t speak about certain things”but then, when she does speak, people come and say “oh why is she speaking about that” LIKE WTF DO YOU WANT THEN
What’s your opinion on that 2 years later?
My dad was furious over the whole thing with the Taylor is over party. He called Kanye and Kim assholes for hurting her. I was so sad for her and I was scared this was going to ruin her.
Your Dad was right
I don't know how or why your video came up as a suggestion on my RUclips, but I am SO GLAD it did. I really enjoyed this and I loved T Swfits' Miss Americana, I feel like it was so relatable, I don't know a lot of people who haven't constructed their entire self worth on something that was intangible or ultimately unreachable. I also loved that you mentioned that as people become professionals, their personal life doesn't disappear, it's worth repeating. 👏👏❤❤
I'm not a big fan of her music but after watching the documentary I have a lot of respect for her and her work ethic
It always annoys me SO MUCH when people say, "I'm not listening to their music anymore because I disagree with them." I disagree with almost every celebrity, but I can put that aside and enjoy their art. It's not that complicated. People are so ridiculous.
Yes but sometimes even listening to their voice puts you off, even if you used to enjoy it. Some people just can’t separate the art from the artist, and they don’t have to. Some things can’t be forgiven.
Yes but if someone publicly supports nazism, like Kanye, that makes it very difficult for me to even hear their voice.
At first, I was 50/50 on being a fan of Taylor Swift because there some songs I liked from her works, I loved her creativity in her music videos, how she carried herself, and how she constantly fought against her nemeses. The other part was that I couldn't really relate to some of her works as well because she was changing, trying to meet people's expectations (which I didn't know about until her documentary) and I felt she wasn't being who she was, she wasn't being her authentic true self. Until her folklore and evermore albums. Her folklore album captivated me, made me pay full attention to her, and for the first time I felt that she was truly stepping into her power and speaking her truth and unapologetically being herself. Taylor worked hard for her success, her future, and she deserves it.
Therapist reacting to my therapist?!
Fr tho
Absolutely love your videos! Taylor has always been my idol and so happy you did this video and a deep dive in miss Americana 💖
Just found this and love it. I hope you give her music a shot, there's so much variety if you don't like a certain genre! 🥰 Either way, thank you for being supportive of another strong woman! ❤
THANK YOU for saying that therapists and entertainers and basically everyone has the right to an opinion. Unfortunately laws are being made to take that away especially from therapists at least in my country and its really sad.
You hit the nail on the head when you said about differentiating our opinion from others. I think the issue is how much influence celebrities have over us. We hang on their every word. We need to remove that and see them as real people.
I just watched this documentary and I admire Taylor Swift soooo much now ! I did already after recently learning more about her but now ... she really is an inspiration !
I found you on tiktok like a year ago but I’m so happy you’re a swiftie now! I totally relate to her need to be good and the whole doc was incredible
You did 100 f#cking% better on this video than before...best ending line ever said with unbridled conviction and passion! Love that! Again great job! I can feel you are fully on your way of understanding and getting it!
I hope you continue your journey!😊 Love to see it and appreciate you sharing! We welcome you with open loving arms and hugs to Taylor's Swiftie World...💘💘💘
love this and all the books on your desk x
this was such a great reaction. i would love for you to react to the folklore long pond sessions or at least her explanation of mirrorball, seven, and this is my trying along with the songs!! i feel like those have a lot of depth psychologically
The archer is my favorite song by her. I really recommend that you listen to it!! It's about having a deep rooted fear of abandonment.
you need to react to her woman of the decade speech!!!! it’s more than 10 mins and im sure youll enjoy it!!
Please react to Dear John! It is a song she wrote at 19 about a relationship she was in with a 32 year old where she was manipulated and used by someone so much older than her. It's an incredible song!
I love that song !
I nearly cried, I haven't watch the full documentary but I believed that I might cry 100%. And The Archer as the ending is making me really, really relieved but also sad. Don't know why but I just wanted to say this. I love this vid!
Love the editing here! 👏
I put this video to have something to listen to while working out, and now I'm sweating and crying
As a Swiftie, before “Swiftie”, was ever a term ( she was only on freaking MYSPACE when I started listening to her haha!) .. I love watching you become a fan in this video haha!!
I remember recommending this documentary to a friend, but then I added, just in case, "she opens up about ED topics". My friend opened her eyes really big and said "oh, wow. So truly this is something that can affect anyone, right?"
Thank you so much for sharing this. Truly thankful
I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed the documentary! I saw your reaction to Mad Woman and really liked it, you should definitely react to "Happiness" from Taylor's Evermore. It would be great to have your input on that song as a therapist. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, for your evaluation, on Miss Americana.Taylor is somewhat, of a chameleon,because she wants,so much, to be love and accepted;(like the rest of us). Imagine being photographed,everywhere you go.💙💜💙
Thanks for making this video! 🥺
I loved this!!!
I’ve just been loving these lol. Thanks for sharing ❤️
The best reaction to Miss Americana!✌🏻💯
9:00 I have that same thing with being a journalist or scientist. How much to share my opinions on my channel still takes up a lot of my mental space because of it (even though my viewers have often asked me to talk more about my opinions which is really encouraging.)
I'm sooo glad you made thisss aaaahhh ❤️❤️❤️
Yes please do continue
i really love this video
its like nonstop war on all social media swifties fighting back on the haters , its very stressful back then
Love uu welcome to the fandom
even though i was a swift is this documentary made me respect her so much more as like a human being
OH MY GOD ! I just found you and I love you✨SUBSCRIBED✨
Keep shining✨
Thank you for reacting to this documentary and for your input. I love your objectivity in your reactions. Merry Christmas!🎄🎅🏻
I'm so happy with this video :D
THE TRUTH DOCTOR IS 100%A SWIFTIE!!! 👏👏👏😍
7:09 after all this shit I’m so glad she found a partner who’s confident and who can transmit his confidence in her and you can see her being in the “IDGAF” mode lately
Also on the 1 year anniversary of her winning the trial during one of her concerts a lot of swifties held up a dollar during I think it was new years day
I’m not sure if you’ve listened to her music but you should Listen to her albums. Especially the 2020 albums!
OMFGGGGG FINALLLYYYYY
I think that she realized that no matter how much she tried to be a "good girl" people were always going to talk shit about her and bash her, so she probably realized she might as well do what she wants because people are going to be mad at her either way.
I had the same reaction to the "deserve to be slapped around" line too... so shocking and revolting and the woman reporter agreeing might be the worse of it...
I had to rewind at 0:45 a couple times, "it's been a while since she's had a career"???
It’s been a long time I mean! As in the length of her career has been many years. :)
Taylor is a good singer and I am not a Taylor Swift fan but she is a good person
welcome to the Swifties!!
Please react to Ronan and the story behind it! It really does how she cares for other!
Miss Americana works like a charm :D
New to your channel, youtube did its algorithm thing and put this video on my front page. I clicked on with with trepidation thinking "what kind of so-called mental health professional is going to make comments about someone else in public like this?" I was prepared to really hate what you produced. I was only going to watch a few minutes to verify that it was awful because... I guess I'm bored today? :) Thank you for surprising me. I thought your comments were spot on, constructive, and instructive to others. It makes me want to look at the other videos on your channel. ♥
I know that we had more important things to think about and we still do but the fact that after it came out that she actually was telling the truth about that phone call, it was just swept under the rag. Like it didn't literally kill Taylor. It makes me despise Kim and Kanye even more. They still blamed it on her saying"there are more important things to think about and Taylor was doing that just to stay trending". The media owes this lady an apology hell the world owes her an apology for destroying her.
Taylor is a strong lady,that went thru shit to get thru it” to get where she truly is” HERSELF maybe less of a perfectionist around others ?
I think I’d really like her! Smart driven but kind and honest person it’s hard in such a toxic environment of music industry……Taylor I hope beyond your other beliefs,you take truly good self care of YOU NO ONE!
When I tell you, it was HARD to be a Swifty during the Kanye / Kim / Taylor / Snake debacle. Damn.
hey thank you, I dont know you but I love you, I needed that so much!!! I subscripet because you dont have any Idea of how much I needed that. IM sure that many others do it too, sometimes we just need someone to come and say the true that we actualy always knew just like this!!! when almost everyone aroud says I dont know just egoistic b.shit!!! It makes literaly A LOT of diference thank you!! ids a kind of wake up that in the same time its not just individual each one of us that do it like Taylor is a light in the end of the tunel to others !! its amazing!! n a sufring life time!!
The Reputation Stadium Tour was: You Need to calm Down.....I'm Truly in Love !!!!
All of this negative perception of Taylor Swift -- dissing on her for being feminine, displaying her emotions in her music, and being a teenager/young woman who makes romantic mistakes and experiences the resulting heartbreak -- has incredibly affected the perception that society has had on women as a whole. Growing up as a feminine woman in that kind of environment was terrible. Hopefully, as the perception of her shifts, the perception of femininity will shift as well.
Listen to epiphany from her folklore album.
I do not agree with Taylor's political opinions but that does not stop me from loving her as an artist, performer and business woman.
Me too. There are artists that although I don't agree with some of their views, I enjoy their music.
I'm always triggered by my body, like sometimes I just don't know what to do. I'm always comparing myself to others, I always want to be "perfect" sometimes it's so frustrating.
Hey I understand you and i want you to know that you're not alone and its going to get better
Could you please react to Dance moms? There are literally several moments of anxiety in 8 years old girls provocated by the same woman, I'd love to see it
'that's brilliant' exactly me after I listen to any TS song everysingle time.
this is so sad i love taylor swift shes such a beautiful women and why is she saying shes fat shes not i am fucking fat shes litreally a barbie i wish i could be as beautiful as her
We love taylor
largely agree about the political stances issue. my mom loved pink, but when she spoke out and said which party she supported my mom stopped listening to anything by her
I’ve found that you could nit pick and find a million things you don’t like about yourself, change it all to whatever you think is better, completely change things or swap it around, do whatever you felt the need to do to fit your own standards, but I can guarantee it wouldn’t ever be enough. There’s hundreds of things I’d change, things I hate about the way I look, I know others who think the same way, some people would love to have what you have because they don’t have it and vice versa, but it would literally never be good enough, because the world would say it isn’t, we got what we have and love it or loathe it, it’s ours and it keeps us alive and it does what it’s suppose to do and it does a damn good job, it loves you even if you might not love it back, it still keeps your heart beating, that’s the important part.
