I will never get tired of watching non swifties react to folklore.
So same!!!!!! I love when people get the ah ha Taylor is worth the hype moment!
@@eltelw8209 BROOOOOO :) happy for you
@@eltelw8209 yo, :( your reply made my day a lil bit bearable. yes! happy holidays to u too!
kanye stan here, much respect for this album!!! fell in love with taylor with this one

The fact that she made this album for FUN is terrifying :O
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It really is. 😂😂
Casually creates masterpieces for fun 😆
@@beccac6812🤣 It's insane. The way her mind works.
About the teenage love triangle, check it out:
August 2:47 = “...get in the car...”
Betty 2:47 = “... James get in...”
Betty 3:13 = “...I’m here on your doorstep...”
Cardigan 3:13 = “... and you’d be standing in my front porch light...”
She had a thing about the number 13, so 2+4+7=13
Sweetheart 2+6+7 is 15🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nooralggg4829 they obviously meant a 4 instead of the 6 since they mentioned it twice previously
@@nooralggg4829 🤣🤣🤣
@@megimihaylova98 ohhhh I get what she meant now, I didn’t really understand the comment initially
Oh. I interpret ‘hoax’ as Betty’s response.
invisible string, peace and the lakes are the songs where she directly talks about her personal life/relationship.
I love your username
Your so gorgeous
I think My Tears Ricochet is about her music being stolen from her.
@@amandam6988 yes but it doesn't DIRECTLY talk about that. You'd have to be on the loop about her life to understand the metaphors. It can also be interpreted in a totally different way.
+ My Tears Ricochet, Mad Woman, TLGAD
She wrote this album during quarantine, basically 4 months, can you believe it?
No!! Her capabilities are beyond my comprehension. SO good!
@@MichaelBeveraggi the thing you said about how she’s reflecting back is correct, I mean think about one of the things quarantine has done to you, I think most of us have been thinking and looking back soo much about our life now that we got the time to stop for a moment. She did the same but she made it into art.
All these songs have sooo many layers... the songwriting is incredible. Every time you listen to a song, you end up discovering something new/new connections.
*3months
Just so you know, Track 5 on ALL of Taylor’s albums are her most personal & emotional.
except for 1989
🤔 interesting!
@@frankieflow13 I disagree. Forget the the production on All You Had To Do Was Stay - the lyrics stand solid as a personal song, and even emotional song. If production was different, it would play like the rest of her Track 5s
@@sulathenewfie4277 you’re right, she has said in interviews that the high pitched voice she used for “stay” was from her waking up during a bad dream screaming for her ex to stay and not leave her 😢
@@sulathenewfie4277 In my opinion Clean and This Love are more emotional than All You Had To Do Was Stay
She is taking about the women that Owned her house that she bought in Rhode Island
and also about how she found out somehow she can relate to Rebekah in way that how society pictures a woman, how society labels a woman with bad thing (ike divorcee, shameless, loudest) regardless of good things about her.
In “Peace” she’s so open about her insecurities in her relationship. “Your integrity makes me seem small. You paint dreamscapes on the wall (she admires his acting in film). I talk shit with my friends (I.e. she “just writes breakup songs”).” This is my favorite song on the album purely for its transparency.
Been loving that one on my re-listen! Next level writing!
I love Swifties dedication. Everytime someone reacts to Taylor we all show up with encouraging comments, explanations and soooo much love. Great reaction btw, I also can't wait for future deep dives into her work.
I have a regular rotation of Taylor reaction videos that I keep rewatching.
@@fwuffy1546 same lmao i love the "kanye fan ranks tayor swifts albums" one
Right? It makes me proud. Every time I watch a reaction video and want to rush to the comments to explain something, it's already been explained, and usually better. I really love watching people fall in love with Taylor. There's always this moment of *oh shit I get it now* and that makes my heart happy.

Pin!
The lyrics in cardigan that always get me are “I knew you leavin like a father, runnin like water” I heard that for the first time and was floored. Who else could write like that? Taylor Swift is a lyrical genius.
YES. you are officially added to the list of kings with Positive Steven & Blake McLain. You’re the perfect compliment to them. I can like feel how nice of a person you are coming off the screen, and your love for music. LOVE this reaction and can’t wait for more, I can watch you for hoursss. there’s SO much Taylor content and I know you’re gonna love it!
You need to also check out Tommy Marz (Sound Vapors) He is doing a great job diving into Taylor, Harry, etc. He is a musician too that just came out with an EP and one of his songs he used all the videos we submitted to him. I have watched Steven from almost day one, Blake too, and found Tommy awhile back too. But live adding more regulars like this one too!
Agree. Just a little bit improvement when it comes to how he cuts the songs...
We really all watch the same youtubers 👁👁
@@lukedoingthings983 LMAO
me over here watching Jon Denton
“50 years is a long time, Holiday house sat quietly on that beach, free of women with madness, their men and bad habits, And then it was bought by me.
Who knows if I never showed up what could have been?”
This song is about the previous owners of her mansion in rhode island. She starts talking in first person at the end of the song because it’s after she purchased the house. This is one of my favorite songs on Folklore, the storytelling is incredible. It gives me Great Gatsby vibes.
In the end Taylor starts singing in first person because there were so many headlines about her partying there too with famous friends and she even had to get a fence built between the beach and her backyard because of fans. Taylor brought “chaos” back to that home. 😂
I got the Gatsby vibes, too! As Taylor would say, "Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year"
It gives me great gatsby vibes too. I love this song.
I am so late to this comment but YES. The Great Gatsby vibes! I get those a LOT with August too
@@lindseysquire8417 YES I love the connection between this song and TIWWCHNT
My algorithm suggested your video just because I’m a swiftie obsessed with reactions and I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed your reaction!!
The way you appreciate and admire music and the art and work behind it is beautiful. The journey you have ahead with Taylor’s discography will be amazing and I’m so here for it! ❤️
Btw I don‘t know if you‘re planning to do it but I can highly recommend to react to some occasional live performances of her aswell along the way. She’s an amazing performer and I think you really feel that she sings her own, heartfelt lyrics. Can‘t wait for the whole journey!😍
Thank you SO SO SO SO SO FREAKING MUCH Sturmtochter. All of the Love♥️
@@MichaelBeveraggi Omg. Just bc you answered me I’m gonna leave the one last comment I held back when I first commented to your video because I didn’t want to overwhelm with recommendations.
I know, not many say this but I can really recommend to go through the discography backwards. I‘ve seen it done that way by two dear RUclipsrs and I think it makes most sense since you started with the latest work. I know most of us are maybe most excited for red or reputation, but it‘s also about your journey so yeah that’s my two cents about the order😅 Sending you much love, can’t wait for the upcoming videos!
Cheak out chat and reacts reaction if ur a swifty
Since you aren't familiar with her, it would be good to read the prologue of each album to get an idea of the theme before you listen. It'll give you an idea on what frame of mind to be in and how it all ties together.
She also left secret messages for each song for her first 5 albums. The lyric booklets have letters capitalized that spell it out. I imagine that if you ask, a Swiftie has that info on hand or you can find it easily online
yes the prologues are key!
Where can I reas these prologues?

i tell ya, this album gets better every listen
I’ve been listening to this amazing album since it was released . And it gets better and better every time I would say
Sometimes I listen to something else while I'm walking somewhere but it always feels like I'm cheating lol. I keep coming back to her ;)
First, I just wanted to say that I LOVED this reaction. You appreciated her songwriting, and that's all I ask for as a Swiftie. Also, be warned, this is going to be a very long comment:
First, the connections between "betty" and "cardigan".
- "cardigan", which is thought to take place years after the affair took place, heavily features the line "When you are young they assume you know nothing". This directly parallels "betty", which features the line "I'm only 17, I don't know anything". Also relating to this are the lines in "cardigan" which go "But I knew everything when I was young" and "Peter losing Wendy". In the J.M. Barrie novel Peter Pan, Wendy Darling leaves Neverland (and Peter) because she was mature and decided to grow up. Peter was left behind to stay a child forever. Betty is saying that she was wise when she was young, and that she has matured and grown. James has stayed young and foolish, like Peter.
- In "cardigan", the lyrics say "I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired/And you'd be standing in my front porch light". In "betty", lines can be found that say "But I know I miss you" and "Betty, I'm here on your doorstep".
- There are also the lines "To kiss in cars" from "cardigan" and "Kissing in my car again" in "betty" that form clear parallels.
- A possible connection is the line "Drunk under a streetlight" from "cardigan" paired with "Stopped at a streetlight" from "betty".
- In "cardigan" a line goes "High heels on cobblestones". In "betty", it says "I was walking home on broken cobblestones".
- The clearest connection of all, though, is the line in "betty" that says "Standing in your cardigan". I don't think I need to explain this one.
Next are the parallels between "betty" and "august".
- In "august", there are lyrics that read "So much for summer love and saying 'us'", as well as "Will you call when you're back at school?", and frequent mentions of the month of August, which parallels directly to lines in "betty" that say "In the garden would you trust me/If I told you it was just a summer thing" and "Slept next to her/But I dreamt of you all summer long".
- In "august", a line goes "Remember when I pulled up/And said 'Get in the car'". In "betty", a line goes "Just thinking of you when she pulled up/Like a figment of my worst intentions/She said 'James, get in, let's drive'".
Vintage tee: Taylor Swift (self-titled album)
Brand new phone: Fearless
High heels on: Speak Now
Cobblestones: RED
Sequin smile: 1989
Black lipstick: reputation
Sensual politics: Lover
In "invisible string", she says "Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA". Her song "Bad Blood" was a hit single off of 1989.
The best metaphor I've ever heard about this album was when someone said (about exile), that his voice is black coffee and hers is sugar.
"seven" depicts a child whose friend is in an abusive household, but the child doesn't know it: "And I've been meaning to tell you/I think your house is haunted/Your dad is always mad/And that must be why/I think you should come live with me/And we can be pirates/Then you won't have to cry".
Taylor was born in Pennsylvania, and lived there until she was 14, when her family moved the Nashville, Tennessee, so that she could pursue a music career. Guess that one paid off lol
As others have pointed out, Taylor's track 5 is always the most emotional, vulnerable song on the album. She has 8:
(Taylor Swift) Cold As You
(Fearless) White Horse
(Speak Now) Dear John
(RED) All Too Well (most consider this to be her best song ever written)
(1989) All You Had to Do Was Stay
(reputation) Delicate
(Lover) The Archer
(folklore) my tears ricochet
I don't know if you were watching the lyric videos, but in the video for "peace", the line "robbers to the east, clowns to the West" had the "w" in "West" capitalized. Besides the fact that Scooter and Scott, who robbed her of her music, live in the east, Taylor and Kanye *West* have been rivals since 2009. I'll leave it at that.
On her album "Speak Now", there is a song called "Better Than Revenge", which depicts a vengeful attitude towards a girl that "stole" Taylor's boyfriend. She was only 18 when she wrote the song, and she has said that she deeply regrets writing it. She never performs it, because, as she says, no one can take your significant other if they don't choose to leave. Even though I don't think "this is my trying" was about her, because most of this album isn't, that's what I think of when I hear the line "And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad/I have a lot of regrets about that".
In "invisible string", she says "The string that pulled you out of all those wrong arms right into that dive bar". In her song "Delicate", on reputation, there is a line that goes "Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?"
Also in "invisible string", she says "Cold was the steel of my ax to grind for the boys that broke my heart/Now I send their babies presents". This is likely a reference to Joe Jonas, one of her exes, whose wife, Sophie Turner, gave birth to their daughter Willa very shortly after the album released.
In "mad woman", she says "And women like hunting witches too/Doing your dirtiest work for you". In "I Did Something Bad" on reputation, she says "They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one". This is also likely referencing Scooter Braun's wife, who bashed Taylor on social media, as well as Kim Kardashian West, who did the same on Kanye's behalf.
In "epiphany", she transitions from the tale of a WW2 soldier on the battlefield (inspired by her grandfather), to a COVID-19 patient in a hospital room.
Wow I love this!
You did a great job. ✌️ Love this
But one thing that I think is Red is the vintage era, so basically that's what she's saying in cardigan. That's the era where she broke through, worldwide super famous. And then she moved to newyork where you can see her in high hills on the newyork streets. Rep is black lipstick era plus in 2016 met Gala she wore black lipstick. And lover era is the first time she spoke about her political views and wrote songs like "Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince", "YNTCD" , "THE MAN" & "ONLY THE YOUNG". So it's like...
Vintage tea brand new phone : Red
High hills on cobblestone : 1989
Sequin smile black lipstick : reputation
Sensual politics : Lover
you are amazing
😮😮🤯🤯🤯
You missed the critical line in Last Grt Amer Dynasty - last line of the bridge when she says ‘it was bought by me’ then she launches into the ‘I had a marvelous time...’
When you said listening to her was like an audiobook, that was an instant subscribe to me. I think that with Taylor, it's important to actually not only hear but listen to the lyrics bc she is so amazing
If you want to react to more taylor i would recommend:
RED: its the fave of most swifties, and fits perfectly into fall. (Also be prepared for "All to well)
REPUTATION: This album is her comeback after months (a year) of silence. She came to kick some serious ass. Also she talks about finding her boyfriend (joe) with whom shes still together.
It also has a huge stadium tour (the biggest in US history)
Yesss!!React to RED next.
I would say the fave among most swifties is reputation but um kay
One cannot be prepared for "All Too Well". It will smack you upside the head like a mace..
@熊仔 oh, thanks. I corrected it
Reputation was a moment. Definitely her best era as far as aesthetics and taking back the narrative against her. But Red, it is just, it’s that artist defining album where people realized she is one of a kind.
most reactors seem to miss that key lyric in TLGAD that explains the whole song “and then it was bought by me” she bought the holiday house years later and repeats the lyrics in first person showing the similarities between her and rebekkah
I think the word you’re looking for about how “big” the songs feel is atmospheric (at least this is how it is for me). They really wrap you up in a feeling and it’s magical! ✨
Not me leaving this comment at the beginning of watching the video and then you actually describe it as atmospheric later on, sorry 🤦🏻♀️
@@stormiebeene5021 don’t be sorry! Look at us on the same wavelength ✨ just goes to show the magic of her music 🎶 ♥️
I really love watching people dive into Taylor albums for the first time, especially those who have heard almost none of her songs. I feel like I’m listening for the first time even though I know her discography like the back of my hand. So excited to watch your Taylor journey!
Hahahha you were on point! This album is not about her. There is some self-reflection here and there, but its mostly fictional stories she made up, like a teenage love triangle from 3 different perspectives on "cardigan", "august" and "betty" respectively. and events she was inspired by, like her grandfather being a soldier in war on 'epiphany' , her childhood friend who had an abusive family on 'seven', and the story of the previous owners of the holiday house which she owns now on 'the last great american dynasty'. Hence the name "folklore".
Once u know this information, if u re-listen to the album and pay attention to these storylines, you will easily connect the dots !! The hints are subtle, yet very clear! "Cardigan" is from betty's perspective , "august" is from the mistress's perspective and "betty" is from jame's perspective. U can analyze these characters and know so much about them from the lyrics alone.
An example of a connection is:
Cardigan at 3:13 “and you’d be standing in my front porch light”
Betty at 3:13 “Betty, I’m here on your doorstep”
And Betty is the name of one daughter of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. They’re all so close with each other. I love that she put Betty’s name on there. Since they have more children. I hope she continues the theme. ❤
Yes, Cardigan is Betty telling her story about being cheated on by James! And August is from the other girl's perspective. Genius is great, but you would probably really enjoying watching the lyrical videos that Taylor made for every song on the album. Just look for them on youtube. I think you will really be blown away when you read the lyrics while you're listening to each song. Enjoyed your video and look forward to going with you on your journey with Taylor! Have fun!
Exile live will devastate anyone who has ever been in that sort of dance with anger, confusion, and hurt. I cried while I was driving and heard the song for the first time. I understand why you were shaking.
if you gonna listen to the other albuns, here's the order:
Taylor Swift
Fearless (Platinum Edition)
Speak Now (Deluxe Package)
RED (Deluxe Edition)
1989 (Deluxe)
reputation
Lover
folklore
it's important listen to 1989, reputation and Lover in order, there's like a story going on
it's like:
1989 - the top
reputation - the fall
Lover - reborn
I love your review and I love this album. “Seven” is my absolute favorite but I love every single song. Such a beautiful gift of music.
absolutely adored your review and reactions. made me fall in love with the album all over again. can't wait for more Taylor from you, I'll be waiting!!
Look forward to your Taylor reactions, I feel like many people begin their Taylor journey in this era and I promise you'll enjoy her music.
folklore and reputation gave us so many new Swifties :)
So happy I discovered you! Your commentary is great, look forward to seeing you explore all that is Taylor Swift
Invisible String is my favorite song on the album - it's so autobiographical and specific to her life but at the same time the way she constructs the story is so relatable and it feels like she's narrating analogues to my life at the same time.
I think that's the most special thing about Taylor's music - she's not shy about how personal and specific her music gets, but it's precisely that level of detail that gives her work the authenticity that makes it relatable. When you're in love, when you're just living your daily life, you notice these little things about the people and the town and all the little things that happen. She doesn't make her statement by telling you how it feels, she SHOWS it to you and you're right there with her through all her memories and her pain and her happiness every step of the way.
Can't wait to watch the rest of your journey in Taylor's music!!
Last great American dynasty - the story of the house she bought in Rhode Island. It’s called holiday house and she’s talking about the former owners. It’s actually all a true story
I love seeing the realization on your face when you start to put the story together ❤️😆
It's always great seeing someone fall in love with Taylor and her ingenuity.
Im so glad this popped up in my recommendations! I Loved this reaction, and then I saw you have little mix reactions and I subbed.. cannot WAIT until you do the rest of her discography, this is gonna be a blast.
I've watched this reaction at least 3x and will surely continue getting back to it. I love how genuine your reactions are. 💕
Good reaction i love it so much!!!thank you for taking your time to analyze her lyrics and appreciate her music too
I’ve gone through and watched all your Taylor album reactions 😁 so happy to find someone that catches and appreciate her lyrics. Subscribed ✅
Still amazed with the sound quality of this video.. Love your reaction so much. Please react to her other albums too, start from her first album, I guarante it will get better from there..
subscribed! so excited for you to review the rest of taylor's albums. i love watching people discover her.
The Last Great American Dynasty is one of my favorite songs. The thing about this song is that it's based and inspired by real events. Rebekah is actually a real person. The first person that was being shown in the first part was Rebekah Harkness. She married Bill a rich powerful man/heir of an oil company. They bought a house at the end of the Rhode Island and named it Holiday House. Eventually her husband died and people still managed to put it on her.
"It must've been her fault his heart gave out."
After that tragic event she moved to a big city to start anew, she open a ballerina house and had grand parties with her friends. She was known for her luxury and such. She had feud with her neighbor as heard from lyrics
And then "50 years is a long time holiday house sat quietly on that beach, free of women with madness and their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me."
Does it sound so familiar now? Somehow in this unbelievable happenstance, the same woman that walked the floors of that house 50 years ago, parallels the life of another woman now walking in the same floors as she did. And only this house will ever witness the beauty of that.
Though not in everything, in a way, Taylor relates to Rebekah. Being portrayed differently after going through the worst of their tragic love stories, fleeting to find connection and friendships in a big city (Taylor Swift: New York), feud with neighbors, and just ruining everything as they say. But regardless of that, they had a marvelous time, not caring anymore about what other people would say.
They are still different people but standing on the same floors - figuratively and literally, with a woman from 50 years ago, just gives you the chills.
This album is by far one of the best album that I have heard and all of the songs in this album means so much to me , I have been listening to it non stop from the day of it's release and Seven is one of my favorite song of all time
I love this reaction. Can’t wait to see the reaction to Lover next ❤️
Epiphany was dealing with people losing their lives and fighting to save lives (their own or others) : the first verse is about her grandfather in Guadalcanal & second verse is about Covid (and her mom has been fighting cancer, again, and a brain tumor - we haven’t gotten an update in awhile... she purposely didn’t plan a tour for this last summer (a couple festivals only) so she could be available for her mom.
Watching you react to this album has been one the few truly nice things that has happened to me in 2021. Thank you.❤️
Awesome reaction! We really appreciate someone who really does a deep dive into the album! 👍🏽💕
I have been listening to folklore daily multiple times a day since it came and I still love it! I can’t wait for her to re-record her albums! It’s going to be so awesome!!!!
Re-record?!? 😱
Also, thank you Marisela ♥️
@@MichaelBeveraggi yes she will be re-recording her first 5 albums soon. Unfortunately the label she was signed with since she started her career did her dirty and sold her masters without giving her a chance to purchase herself. It’s a whole mess and as people have been breaking down folklore it seems like part of this album intertwines the pain/heartbreak of having such an important person in her career turn on her. So you were right she intertwined a few songs that go together like “my tears ricochet”, “mad woman”, “hoax” and maybe “exile” but she brilliantly wrote songs that can be also be interpreted in the context of a romantic relationship/toxic relationship. In order to take control of her music she is legally able to re-record albums 1-5 starting this month.
I would LOVE a revisit to this album!
I loved how much you liked it 👍🏻 she is amazing!!❤️❤️❤️
It's fun to see non fans turning into a swiftie gradually 🤭 you just need to listen to her in a positive mind to find out how amazing she is
Epiphany is just the anthem for heroes of 2020.... hauntingly beautiful
I’ve listen that song a bunch of time but i can’t bring myself to like that song, i skip it everytime now. Maybe because i live it everyday (i work in health care with covid+ patients) ...?🤔 perhaps my mind is not ready yet..? Odd
There is a live performance of Betty from the CMAs this year - you will really like it.
i love taylor and folklore so much and watching people listen and react just fills me with joy like yes its so amazing
Story telling queen. This album ties so beautifully together, and I still get chills.
QUEEN INDEED
This reaction was so good . I really loved your comments on the album. Gonna subscribe
Thank You Tina ❤️
i love taylor to death but there's something so freaking adorable about people reacting to bon iver's voice
So excited for you react abt Taylor content. Wish you have more...
Omg I was waiting for this. Brb in 46 minutes 😅
By far you are my fav reaction to Taylor swift albums - I’m a new sweftie, it’s a rabbit hole I didn’t know I wanted to get into. ❤
So genuine ❤
Excited to hear you listen to react to the rest of her albums
This was great fun. Love this album- totally understand how it might leave you speechless.
Also, thanks for the plug about reading books!
You have a sharp mind and can dissect the song and it's meaning. Love it!
the fact that this is where you started and now you own all of her albums is so beautiful to me
FYI she never got to tour her 7th album Lover because of the pandemic so we don't know what she's planning for when she goes on tour again.
Love your reaction!!! ❤️
the "I'm back in the forest" at 43:48 encapsulate perfectly the feeling of folklore or at least how i feel everytime that i listen to this masterpiece of álbum! "the lakes" is something else 😍
Loved your reaction. Hope you let us know more of your feelings towards the album once you've gotten a chance to listen again. It really is a great album to drive to.
this is the first reaction of yours I’ve watched, and it’s your first listen to a TS album. lemme tell you, the way you feel about folklore is the same way I feel about you and your channel!! great reaction
I enjoyed this reaction so much! I love how much you appreciate and respect the artistry of it all, her intention with the music, the instrumentals, the LYRICS, the atmosphere the album as a whole invokes. I love how excited you are about the journey you're about to embark upon.
If you're ever looking for more recommendations, you have come to the right fandom. I'd highly suggest watching the Long Pond sessions - she talks about what the songs mean to her, and then she, Jack, and Aaron perform each song. You'll fall in love with this album even more.
And yes, I recommend live performances too. She is magic on the stage, especially when it's just her and an instrument. If you haven't already, you must check out her performance of Cardigan/August/Willow at the Grammy awards. Welcome to the Swiftdom!
Love your reaction but you listened to the clean version album and not the explicit version :( it's so much better with the explicit version.
I SEARCHED for this comment!
Damn 😖 #reactormistakes
but for betty i like the clean version
A lot of things I agree with you! You basically got everything right. Loved how much attention you were paying to the lyrics bcs she IS the best songwriter of this generation and her lyrics deserve that attention.
OMG I'm so happy that you find out the love triangle yourself before reading any tips! !
This was such a great reaction!
I started with your Red Taylors Version video, now I'm watching all your reactions... so much fun seeing people understand the genius and perfection that is Taylor.
I love that I get to see someone else's introduction to and journey through Taylor's music!
Wonderful reaction to this epic album! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just so you know , its a tradition that no. 5 song of every TSwift album is really emotional
i LOVE that u compared her to hozier i love him as well, two of my fav artists , song writing and musically just so good xoxox
This was great! The thing about this album is that there are a million layers and no matter who you are you will never be able to peel them all back and you will never stop finding new meanings to things. It intertwines her personal life, with her public life, with her friends and family's lives, with stories she made up, and with lyrics in her older discography and then it links it all together into songs that ALSO intertwine with each other! Its a true work of art! Also a fun fact because you mentioned it but Taylor always plays with her live band. Can't wait to watch you listen to the rest of her discography. Its a wild ride for sure!
Hi from Poland! I really enjoy your reaction!

Can't wait for your next Little Mix and Taylor Swift reactions. Really enjoyed this one of Taylor's.
I love this reaction. Great vibes. Also this album in the car does hit different lmao
Exile is one of those songs that will always give me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Her 3rd album Speak Now is completely self written and was my favorite until this album. This is easily, indisputably her best work. There’s so many nuances she slips in like I’m cardigan she goes through her old eras
Vintage tee, brand new phone 1989 and debut referenced
High heels on cobblestone - red
Sequin smile black lipstick, reputation
Sensual politics - lover
She does it again in hoax going through all of the albums she doesn’t own because she wasn’t allowed to purchase her masters to her work and they were sold to scooter Braun who consistently bullied her and it was heartbreaking that Scott Borchetta who was like her dad after growing up with him and his label would sell her work, songs she wrote about her life and things that happened to her, essentially to her worst enemy. That’s what most of this album is about is the absolute heartbreak of having to leave her label and not owning her work.
In hoax she says
My only one - debut
My smoking gun - fearless
My eclipsed sun - speak now
My twisted knife - red (the deep cuts)
My sleepless night - 1989
My winless fight - reputation (wasn’t nominated for any awards)
And she also does it in the bridge of mirrorball. So much about her life is hidden into the layers of other stories on this album and I don’t understand the way her brain works even timing down to the second in certain songs to be singing the same words at the same times in the stories in different songs. She’s truly a genius
Exile and illicit affairs are my fave songs from this album I just love TS so much I cried the whole way through exile the for 4 times I listened to it its amazing
The last great American dynasty is one of my favs from this album I usually get goosebumps on my arms when I listen to it
nice reaction ,i just found you! with taylor i recommend to listen and see the lyrics at the same time because SHE WRITES A LOT!! hahaha
So refreshing to hear someone who truly and deeply is expressing his sincere desire to really listen and feels the need to know truth....
Comfort human of 2021 is Michael Beveraggi. Its like meditation watching your videos.
Mad woman is becoming one of my favorite song out of the album.
There are 3 songs revolving around a love triangle
Cardigan - Betty POV (the girlfriend)
August - Inez POV (side girl)
Betty - James POV (cheating boyfriend)
Geez Inez is not the side chick, she's just a random girl who gossips. August girl is literally unnamed.
@@joshuaramon123 nope - she’s a girl they go to school with and they were hooking up during the summer. Maybe listen the songs again? Also if you’ve seen any of Taylor Swift’s interviews about it, she said in her first interview that there were 3 songs that were a triangle. She later confirmed that all 3 characters were named after Blake Lively’s children.
@@deborahwolf7414 You should listen to the songs again -In August the side chick clearly says "Will you call when you are back at school?" which clearly indicates that James is away from where he goes to school that summer, and that's where he met the other girl. If Inez is someone both Betty and James know for being a regular gossip, she can't be someone from another town wherever James was vacationing. Also Taylor hasn't confirmed yet that all the names are Blake and Ryan's kids (even thought we know it's true), mainly because they haven't confirmed their new daughter's name and Taylor wouldn't anounce their child's name to the world before they did
@@anabergespolo8631 nkay. I’m absolutely sure that’ll correct my completely accurate stance on those 3 songs. But seriously, no disrespect, I love Taylor Swift and I have seen the interviews with both her and Blake Lively that verify my comment. They are out there. You just have to look. Oh and also, I know the lyrics to ALL THREE songs. So I’m not speaking out of turn here. But have a wonderful night and please take to heart that this is not a competition. In the end, it’s just an appreciation for the music. As it should be.
@@deborahwolf7414 Inez was a random girl in school. She was not the side chick. In the line "you heared the rumor from Inez", it means the rumor was from Inez and she was one of those who gossipis or maybe the one who found out about the affair. Can I ask that if you were the side chick, would you gossip about your own dirty deeds or even tell it directly to the girl what you and her boyfriend did? Definitely no!
Watching MIND OF MINE in the background makes me so happy , I can't even explain😭🤩❤. I love zayn
YOU AND ME BOTH 😭🥺💝
You NEED to see the long pond studio session.
