Fun fact, when Trump said, he likes her music 25% less, after her endorsement of democrat kandidates in Tennessee, she put a 25% discount on all her merch.
I started my journey into Taylor only about a month ago. At 61 years of age, I became a senior swiftie almost overnight after hearing Folklore, the Long Pond sessions, from 2020. Allow me to make a prediction: you will be in love with her in no time at all, it is inevitable! She really is in a class of her own
I'm a Senior Swiftie too. I agree about the Long Pond Sessions. I just spent last night watching reactors react to My Tears Ricochet-Long Pond. That song is heart wrenching. It's so much fun watching reactors discover Taylor. lol
I love the idea to go from first album to last, you will see her progression as she became better and better as a songwriter and vocalist) I am looking forward to going on this journey with you!
Trust me the Kanye thing was an issue. She was a teenager and he was 32. It caused her a lot of psychological damage because she thought she wasn’t good enough and it led to Kanye and Kim bullying Taylor after 10 years and getting her so much online hate she left the country and wasn’t seen in public at all for a year. So yes it was an issue even if the internet just thought it was funny. People like to say that Kanye mad Taylor famous but she won the Grammy for album of the year the same year he did that so obviously she didn’t need a grown man embarrassing her in front of everybody to make her famous.
I want to note that she was FORCED to take a breather around 2016 (again it wasn't her choice... we can "thank" KimYe for that😒). Still, I would say it was more of a PUBLIC EYE breather rather than a work breather... throughout the hiatus, she kept working/writing and creating so the reality is WE are STILL waiting on that "BREAK" 'cuz Miss Ma'am has NEVER stopped NOT EVEN during the pandemic when EVERYTHING else stopped.
Taylor has 11 Eras/Albums currently from country to pop to folk/indie! Trust me, you can react to the whole video by Nina and we'll all watch it! A little context on the Kanye 'meme'- Taylor was 19, a teenager, and he was a 32 year old grown man who thought it okay to go up and ruin a teen girls very first VMA award speech. Sadly, when the crowd started booing what he did, Taylor, being new to the music industry, thought that the crowd was booing HER because they agreed when Kanye said she shouldn't have won over Beyonce. He and those around him continue, to this day, to try and use Taylor's popularity and her name to get publicity for themselves including getting her canceled in 2016 off of a complete fabricated lie by him and Kim Kardashian! Taylor moved to another country and went into hiding for a year because she thought that's what everybody wanted. It was very psychologically damaging to her and she's spoken candidly about it. So, it's way more then the meme people dismiss it as and it goes to the bigger conversation of grown men in the entertainment industry using and taking advantage of and being dismissive of the talent of young women in the industry! Would love to see you go through each era from the beginning but I would also recommend that the live performances that we recommend, you do now as it'll give you a completely different mindset in understanding Taylor before you go into her whole discography😉 Trust us! You'll see a lot of us recommending the live performance of Intro/Ready For It from the Reputation stadium tour! Trust me, you won't be sorry and it'll help you understand how Taylor, through her whole career, fights back!🫶
I agree...but wonder if it might be better to have him do the first two albums before watching any Rep performances? The sound is so different, and could be a distraction for his journey.
One of her shows was 90 thousand+ Fan's, She's awesome 💯 Her stadium tour's is 3 half hours long. Pretty impressive. 13 is her favorite # Taylor's very deep in the details in all her work.❤
Ooh. Here we go. I’m excited. Subscribed! Her Era’s World Tour has gone to so many places and every stadium has sold out. She did 8 shows in Wembley Stadium in London, setting a record for that venue. She’s travelled across Asia, Europe and Australia following the conclusion of the U.S. and Latin American legs. After a two-month break in December 2023 and January 2024, the 34 time Grammy winner picked back up in February with a string of shows in Tokyo, followed by stops in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Paris, Stockholm, Lisbon, Madrid, Lyon, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Zürich, Milan, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Munich, Warsaw, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. The Era’s Tour will come to a final close in December 2024; 152 performances of 3.5 hour long concerts with no breaks or intermissions. She’s a performing mastermind who has the stamina to perform night after night and she’s not slowing down. She’s absolutely dedicated to her fans and to her work. She loves seeing people happy and loves helping people succeed. Case in point: “Owenn”! (real name Christian Owen). SWIFT WAS ADAMANT ABOUT GETTING OWENN SIGNED BY A RECORD LABEL. During a live stream on Instagram, Owenn gushed about how determined Swift was to get Owenn his own record deal. She even went as far to contact the “head of Republic herself,” Owenn explained. “I get to the meeting, they were like ‘Yo, why is Taylor Swift so adamant about us signing you? We want to see you perform!’” His IG handle is @owennmusic. He co-starred in her “Lover” music video besides being a fan favorite backup dancer for Taylor. She just wants people to be HAPPY. ❤ I can’t wait for you to see why we all love her. 🥰🎊🎙️
Looking forward to your journey. I went through my own during Covid. Keep in mind she was very young when she started. But the evolution of her voice, songwriting, and performing is why she is where she is today, at the top at age 35 and 11 albums. That’s unheard of. She is worth 1.6B, from her music. I second when someone suggested you watch Miss Americana before your journey. I did this. I watched it before I listened to her catalog & it put into context everything. Her age. How it all happened. I didn’t know her songs but it didn’t matter. I think it really helped me going into listening to her catalog. I want you to also know….. he best songs are not her hits. In general. Her best songs never see the light of day, she has problems picking singles. So never go by what the single is thinking it must be the best….. no. Taylor is too close to the music to objectively pick the right sings for singles. And Taylor didn’t have crappy record deal, she had a normal everyday record deal like everyone else had. It wasn’t a bad record deal (as for as record deals go). It was normal. She advocates now for changes in label/artist negotiations but that’s not the root of her problem with the label. Also keep in mind that early on her label was in control; she took control at age 24 and was literally bigger than her label, she generated 70% other revenue. SHE was the label & what made it valuable. She left at age 29. She went from country to pop over 5 albums, each more mainstream. Her 4th album was really transitional,Red was a country album but her label allowed 3 songs with producer Max Martin. Her 5th album was 1989, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer by her label who only wanted her to be country. She said no. I need a change. So 1989 is full throttle the pop bible. She’s been on or near the top ever since.
@HansReacts welcome, we love watching people learning about Taylor for the first time. Fun fact: in Munich this summer she performed to an audience of 115,000 people, 70k in the stadium and 45k who were ticketless sat on a hill outside the stadium. Taylor happily performed for everyone even given those on the hill a special shoutout and wave during the concert. I love how appreciative you are of her drive. You've just got a subscriber. Important to note Taylor's parents could afford lawyers but at that time independent artists weren't played on the radio, labels were the gatekeepers to your career. The internet, TikTok, RUclips etc. have really democratized our access to music in a way we didn't have before. She signed that deal thinking that Scott, because of their close relationship, would eventually sell her back her old masters. You should really look into Prince's legal drama over his name and his masters - that was a doozy. I also encourage you to watch Miss Americana next.
She just keeps getting better and better. Not a big country fan, so I personally love her later work. Getting into Folklore and Evermore song writing takes it to next level. Watch Disney + Long Pond Sessions to get a whole new appreciation for her singer/songwriter vibe.
yep she is a BILLIONAIRE just because of her MUSIC (NOT from any make up/ Lipstick business) please LISTEN to her albums in CHRONOLOGICAL order... 1) Taylor Swift 2) Fearless 3) Speak Now 4) RED 5) 1989 6) Reputation 7) Lover 8)Folklore 9) Evermore 10) Midnights 11) Tortured Poets Department SHE IS on the TOP TEN ARTISTS of all TIME by Billboard. (Seventh place is for Michael Jackson. 8th place is for Taylor Swift.) She is the RICHEST MUSICIAN of this generation. WORTH 1.6 BILLION... She writes her OWN songs... she can WRITE an ALBUM on her own. ALL SONGS are autobiographical and based on REAL people. She is a CHILD PRODIGY/ GENIUS when it comes to Songwriting. She can play the guitar, ukelele and piano. she is the ONLY ARTIST WHO WON 'GRAMMYS Album OF THE YEAR' FOUR times 4x ...(beating the record of Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder with 3 Times records) she is UBER Talented, amazing LIVE Performer
might be kind of cool if you were to finish this video in segments, as you look at the albums. Also, Taylor is sort of her own genre: she mixes all sorts of sounds and influences into each album; and Pop Goes Punk (album series) featured several punk or screamo versions of her "country" songs. 😮
Here are some fan favorite live performances by Taylor. as other comments said Taylor is a storytelling and songwriter but she also has just fun songs.

Taylor is also a musical genius her IQ is 140 pretty impressive, Really she does leave something called easter eggs for the fan's, It gets us hunting to decode what she's doing next.
I live in Arkansas about 45 min from Memphis so we go across the bridge to Memphis all the time and Tennessee is definitely a hot spot for music. Elvis started there as well as B.B. King and multiple other blues artists. It’s called the Home Of The Blues. If you go down Beale street you go in any club and find incredible music. Nashville is where the country music scene is but you can also find musicians from all different genres there. If you go down Broadway in Nashville you also find incredible music in every club. Tennessee has an amazing music scene that everybody should experience firsthand. There is a reason a lot of hip hop artists are now getting into the country scene and collaborating with all these Nashville musicians.
In fact, she has written songs at 12 like the outside which is on her debut album and she wrote a song about 9/11 at 12 too, it's called didn't they, which is unrealesed but it's around the internet
Lol i think most swifties dont have an issue w the mic other than yeah it was really fucked up. Its everything after that kanye and kim did. You will see and learn
So many have this wrong, I don´t know where the misinformation started... Taylor NEVER ended her songwriting deal aka publishing deal with SONY/ATV, she was with them until 2019 when she signed her new joint deal with Republic and with the same guy who had given her her publishing deal back when she was 14. However she did turn down that first record deal, it was with a company called RCA. And yes, Taylor´s dad did become a 3% shareholder in her record label Big Machine records, however that was way after she had been signed by them.
Stop and take a breath? She wrote and released 2 albums during COVID. To her, writing is how she processes her emotions and performing is what she loves.
Taylors net worth is 1.6 billion all from her music. from what I’ve heard, she loves Scott bruschetta like a dad. He owned big machine records when her long record deal was over and she was going to re-sign again she told him she wanted to own her own music and he told her for every two albums she gave him he would give her the right to buy one of her albums so that upset her so she signed a new record deal with a new record label and Scott Bruschetta sold her rights to scooter Braun behind her back. She wrote a song about it. You should listen to it. My tears ricochet listen to it live on Long Pond Studios about her music being sold out from underneath her. Taylor will be 35 December 13. She’s ending her Eras tour in December and she said she’s taking a year off
couple misconceptions. Taylor's parents weren't too poor for a good lawyer; he was a stockbroker and executive for Merrill Lynch, and she had been a hedge fund communications (PR) person. They were millionaires; her Dad's father was a bank president. They lived very very simply, out of choice. The contract she got with Big Machine was boiler plate; almost no artist owns the rights to their own masters from their initial contracts with labels. In spite of Prince advocating for changes for YEARS before Taylor was even born. The labels invest money up front to develop artists; royalties are used for return on the investment, _and_ to finance developing other new artists, for promotions, or arranging tours. Taylor has advocated since 2019 for changes: that the labels get the income for around 5 years or so, then full ownership should devolve to the artist. Instead of adopting that sort of framework, the labels are now insisting that new artists sign a "no re - recordings" for between 15 and 30 years (depending on the label). Doubling down on control of the income stream; her advice to new artists in 2015 was "get a good lawyer." Taylor started earlier than what is obvious; she was going to NYC from the age of 10 for acting and vocal lessons. She ended up being managed by Dan Dimtrow; he got her into an advertising campaign for Abercrombie and Fitch (expensive clothes) highlighting "rising new artists;" she wrote some sort of musical ad for Maybelline that caught some attention. She was offered a writing/ publishing deal at 14 (so, after school in the 8th grade, go work on crafting songs with established songwriters). She then got the "artist in development" deal with RCA for recording; and walked out on it at 15 (still in the 9th grade). Borchetta got her parents to sign without Dimtrow's involvement (he sued the label, fwiw). She signed with Borchetta because he would allow her to record her own songs then, instead of waiting for her voice to mature. In one sense, RCA was right; her voice after she was full grown (after about 20yo) was much stronger and more capable than when she was starting out. In another sense, they were dead wrong, thinking there was no market for songs written by a teenage girl for teenage girls and their moms. She has a genuine gift for finding simple ways to express (and tap in to) nostalgia. Regarding the parents' investing in Big Machine: they gave them $120K, a fraction of what their house in Hendersonville was worth. It was a token amount, and they never increased their stake (when the company was sold, it netted Scott $15M, but that was because the label increased in value a lot, not because of some sinister plan).
Fun fact, when Trump said, he likes her music 25% less, after her endorsement of democrat kandidates in Tennessee, she put a 25% discount on all her merch.
I've never seen anyone go on this journey who didn't end up a swiftie.....so welcome!
I definitely recommend that you react to her documentary Miss Americana to get more context to a lot of the stuff mentioned in this video.
I started my journey into Taylor only about a month ago. At 61 years of age, I became a senior swiftie almost overnight after hearing Folklore, the Long Pond sessions, from 2020. Allow me to make a prediction: you will be in love with her in no time at all, it is inevitable! She really is in a class of her own
I'm a Senior Swiftie too. I agree about the Long Pond Sessions. I just spent last night watching reactors react to My Tears Ricochet-Long Pond. That song is heart wrenching. It's so much fun watching reactors discover Taylor. lol
I love the idea to go from first album to last, you will see her progression as she became better and better as a songwriter and vocalist) I am looking forward to going on this journey with you!
She actually had 96,000 audiences in Melbourne each night and thousands of people outside the stadium listening.
She has been working and pushing out albums REGULARLY since 2006. She loves to create. She needs amd enjoys it.
- "Am I gonna be a Swiftie after this?"
- "Yes"
😅
Here to watch your journey, a journey many of us have taken ourselves. Thanks for the video!
Trust me the Kanye thing was an issue. She was a teenager and he was 32. It caused her a lot of psychological damage because she thought she wasn’t good enough and it led to Kanye and Kim bullying Taylor after 10 years and getting her so much online hate she left the country and wasn’t seen in public at all for a year.

People like to say that Kanye mad Taylor famous but she won the Grammy for album of the year the same year he did that so obviously she didn’t need a grown man embarrassing her in front of everybody to make her famous.
And the fact they put a naked wax figure of her in his music video 🤮
@@chelseab7 yeah that was the most disgusting part!
I want to note that she was FORCED to take a breather around 2016 (again it wasn't her choice... we can "thank" KimYe for that😒). Still, I would say it was more of a PUBLIC EYE breather rather than a work breather... throughout the hiatus, she kept working/writing and creating so the reality is WE are STILL waiting on that "BREAK" 'cuz Miss Ma'am has NEVER stopped NOT EVEN during the pandemic when EVERYTHING else stopped.
Please watch Miss Americana!
"All too well" 10 min version lyric video. Her lyrical masterpiece so far.
Taylor was recording a record and going on tour every 2 years until the pandemic.
She currently has 11 studio albums. ❤
Oh I’m excited to follow you through this in real time!! I’ve watched others but months later-not as they upload them. I’m here for the long haul
Taylor has 11 Eras/Albums currently from country to pop to folk/indie! Trust me, you can react to the whole video by Nina and we'll all watch it!

I’d have to agree with this and live performances, especially later 1989 album and on. She became one of the best performers but she had to learn.
@@StarBuck-v8k Absolutely agree! 🫶
I agree...but wonder if it might be better to have him do the first two albums before watching any Rep performances?
The sound is so different, and could be a distraction for his journey.

Her Era’s World Tour has gone to so many places and every stadium has sold out. She did 8 shows in Wembley Stadium in London, setting a record for that venue.

She has taken breaks from touring etc, but her down time is used to write music and create. That is her lifeblood.
As a 70 yr old Swiftly since Tim McGraw I'm "seated" & subbed for your Taylor journey! An early Welcome to The Fandom, Hans!!
Swiftie* dang fat fingers! Blessings and Angels
Taylor doesn't breathe. Her work ethic and drive is INSANE
I’m one of the 65,000 going to see her tomorrow night in Miami and she is here for 3 sold out nights!
@HansReacts welcome, we love watching people learning about Taylor for the first time.

I'm here for this journey!!🎉
She just keeps getting better and better. Not a big country fan, so I personally love her later work. Getting into Folklore and Evermore song writing takes it to next level. Watch Disney + Long Pond Sessions to get a whole new appreciation for her singer/songwriter vibe.
yep she is a BILLIONAIRE just because of her MUSIC (NOT from any make up/ Lipstick business) please LISTEN to her albums in CHRONOLOGICAL order... 1) Taylor Swift 2) Fearless 3) Speak Now 4) RED 5) 1989 6) Reputation 7) Lover 8)Folklore 9) Evermore 10) Midnights 11) Tortured Poets Department SHE IS on the TOP TEN ARTISTS of all TIME by Billboard. (Seventh place is for Michael Jackson. 8th place is for Taylor Swift.) She is the RICHEST MUSICIAN of this generation. WORTH 1.6 BILLION... She writes her OWN songs... she can WRITE an ALBUM on her own. ALL SONGS are autobiographical and based on REAL people. She is a CHILD PRODIGY/ GENIUS when it comes to Songwriting. She can play the guitar, ukelele and piano. she is the ONLY ARTIST WHO WON 'GRAMMYS Album OF THE YEAR' FOUR times 4x ...(beating the record of Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder with 3 Times records) she is UBER Talented, amazing LIVE Performer
might be kind of cool if you were to finish this video in segments, as you look at the albums. Also, Taylor is sort of her own genre: she mixes all sorts of sounds and influences into each album; and Pop Goes Punk (album series) featured several punk or screamo versions of her "country" songs. 😮
Taylor is now worth 1. 3 Billion dollars, By the time she's done, Her worth will increase by the time her eras tour is over.. go girl ❤❤ Love Taylor.
Looking forward to your TS journey...you won't regret getting on this wild ride. 😁

Taylor is also a musical genius her IQ is 140 pretty impressive, Really she does leave something called easter eggs for the fan's, It gets us hunting to decode what she's doing next.
I love it and I can't wait for part 2!
I live in Arkansas about 45 min from Memphis so we go across the bridge to Memphis all the time and Tennessee is definitely a hot spot for music. Elvis started there as well as B.B. King and multiple other blues artists. It’s called the Home Of The Blues. If you go down Beale street you go in any club and find incredible music. Nashville is where the country music scene is but you can also find musicians from all different genres there. If you go down Broadway in Nashville you also find incredible music in every club. Tennessee has an amazing music scene that everybody should experience firsthand. There is a reason a lot of hip hop artists are now getting into the country scene and collaborating with all these Nashville musicians.
Totally here for this 🙌
It’s not all pop . Yes on the radio it’s always the fun poppy songs . Once u go down the rabbit hole…. Good luck 😂❤️
In fact, she has written songs at 12 like the outside which is on her debut album and she wrote a song about 9/11 at 12 too, it's called didn't they, which is unrealesed but it's around the internet

Lol i think most swifties dont have an issue w the mic other than yeah it was really fucked up. Its everything after that kanye and kim did. You will see and learn
Tennessee- esp Nashville is so extra! Check it out sometime!
Could you please continue reacting to the next eras? Next one is her 3rd album, Speak Now
So many have this wrong, I don´t know where the misinformation started... Taylor NEVER ended her songwriting deal aka publishing deal with SONY/ATV, she was with them until 2019 when she signed her new joint deal with Republic and with the same guy who had given her her publishing deal back when she was 14. However she did turn down that first record deal, it was with a company called RCA. And yes, Taylor´s dad did become a 3% shareholder in her record label Big Machine records, however that was way after she had been signed by them.
Wait for Taylor’s version for self titled/ debut
I’m here for this journey! 🫶🏻
React to ready for it on the eras tour ❤
Stop and take a breath? She wrote and released 2 albums during COVID. To her, writing is how she processes her emotions and performing is what she loves.
i grew up on hip hop, and the day kanye pulled that nonsense was the last time i listened to him.
Almost all new artists have terrible contracts. Even big artists end up in massive debt because of their contracts. Look at what happened to TLC.
Oh trust me.... the Kanye thing was an issue. If you watch the rest of the video, you'll see there was MUCH more to it than meets the eye.
Taylors net worth is 1.6 billion all from her music. from what I’ve heard, she loves Scott bruschetta like a dad. He owned big machine records when her long record deal was over and she was going to re-sign again she told him she wanted to own her own music and he told her for every two albums she gave him he would give her the right to buy one of her albums so that upset her so she signed a new record deal with a new record label and Scott Bruschetta sold her rights to scooter Braun behind her back. She wrote a song about it. You should listen to it. My tears ricochet listen to it live on Long Pond Studios about her music being sold out from underneath her. Taylor will be 35 December 13. She’s ending her Eras tour in December and she said she’s taking a year off
Where is this reaction that you did ?
How do you listen when you’re talking while the presenter is talking, because I can’t understand either of you
couple misconceptions. Taylor's parents weren't too poor for a good lawyer; he was a stockbroker and executive for Merrill Lynch, and she had been a hedge fund communications (PR) person. They were millionaires; her Dad's father was a bank president. They lived very very simply, out of choice.
The contract she got with Big Machine was boiler plate; almost no artist owns the rights to their own masters from their initial contracts with labels. In spite of Prince advocating for changes for YEARS before Taylor was even born. The labels invest money up front to develop artists; royalties are used for return on the investment, _and_ to finance developing other new artists, for promotions, or arranging tours. Taylor has advocated since 2019 for changes: that the labels get the income for around 5 years or so, then full ownership should devolve to the artist. Instead of adopting that sort of framework, the labels are now insisting that new artists sign a "no re - recordings" for between 15 and 30 years (depending on the label). Doubling down on control of the income stream; her advice to new artists in 2015 was "get a good lawyer."
Taylor started earlier than what is obvious; she was going to NYC from the age of 10 for acting and vocal lessons. She ended up being managed by Dan Dimtrow; he got her into an advertising campaign for Abercrombie and Fitch (expensive clothes) highlighting "rising new artists;" she wrote some sort of musical ad for Maybelline that caught some attention. She was offered a writing/ publishing deal at 14 (so, after school in the 8th grade, go work on crafting songs with established songwriters). She then got the "artist in development" deal with RCA for recording; and walked out on it at 15 (still in the 9th grade). Borchetta got her parents to sign without Dimtrow's involvement (he sued the label, fwiw). She signed with Borchetta because he would allow her to record her own songs then, instead of waiting for her voice to mature.
In one sense, RCA was right; her voice after she was full grown (after about 20yo) was much stronger and more capable than when she was starting out. In another sense, they were dead wrong, thinking there was no market for songs written by a teenage girl for teenage girls and their moms. She has a genuine gift for finding simple ways to express (and tap in to) nostalgia.
Regarding the parents' investing in Big Machine: they gave them $120K, a fraction of what their house in Hendersonville was worth. It was a token amount, and they never increased their stake (when the company was sold, it netted Scott $15M, but that was because the label increased in value a lot, not because of some sinister plan).
That thumbnail photo of TS "NOW" doesn't look like her at all! I don't think it is her.
Different eyes, face shape, and lips.
She's a billionaire.
