So she invited all of those reporters speaking about her in the intro TO THE SHOW so they all got to hear that live, irl 😂
We love a petty queen 👸🏻 😂
Front seats I heard hehehehe
I'm a 52-year-old male and a veteran. I'm also a swiftie.
Thank you for your service! I’m happy to hear that you’re a Swiftie!! I hope it brings you happiness and a smile to your face. You’re part of yet another group of dedicated people. Veterans and Swifties! 🇺🇸 🎶🫡
@@NYandAZ It was my honor thank you for your thoughtful and lengthy reply.
@@NYandAZ It was my honor. Dedication respects dedication.
A fellow vet and Swiftie salutes you
Those "backup tracks" are often her backup singers! They're amaaazing and have been with her a very long time.
If you watch "don't Blame me" live also from the reputation tour here singing on that one is absolutely insane.
Literally one of her best live performances
@@breico8535 oh for sure if not the best.
I LOVE when she performs Don't Blame Me. It hits so hard when she does it live
YES, "Don't Blame Me" is the best! This was THE song that made me hear Taylor Swift❤
@@jaquelinegb7370 right! I feel like if your not a swifty you can totally get behind this
I'm sure someone has already commented about this, but Taylor makes it a point to really build up her dancers. I appreciated your comment, so I wanted to mention it. She introduces them all by name, and a lot of Swifties follow them on social to support them. It's a really nice way to continue building a positive community with everyone who is dedicated to putting on an in credible show and those who appreciate all that they do.
I like that her dancers are so diverse as well. Her most popular dancer (the one that says "like...ever") is a pretty big dude and he gets the job done.
She is clapping back at the media, haters and Kim/Kenye.
For dancer love you should check out Gorgeous from this tour !
This is her Reputation Tour. The whole album Reputation deals with pretty much responding to all the comments and haters out there. This is the first album that she really just did exactly what she wanted to without worrying about what people said about her. Also she has backup singers at the concerts. If you watch more video from the concert you will see them. At every concert she brings attention to her singers, dancers and her band.
Yeah, it says Reputation Tour in the very beginning of the intro.
Also, alot of the songs are about other stuff like so it goes dress getaway car.
She has stated that she can't dance, but she can be choreographed. In fact, the song, 'Shake it Off' is a tribute to the criticism she's received for her 'awkward' dancing skills. Great reaction~~
In the video for Delicate, when she cuts loose with the awkward dancing, I loved it!
I commented on your Fortnight reaction that I'm a 68 year old rock/blues guy. I decided to explore Swift through reaction videos looking for "out of genre reactors" like you. Mostly metal heads, rap fans and sometimes vocal coaches. For music video reactions I add proffessional video editors and visual effects artists. I had heard all the rhetoric on social media: she can't sing, she can't dance, all her songs sound the same, all she does is breakup songs, and all her fans are 12/13 year old girls. That's all complete bullshit (pardon my French). She can sing and dance, all her songs definitely don't sound the same, and they're not all breakup songs. I often respond to "can't dance" with "good thing she focused on being a singer/songwriter/musician then". Like you, I don't understand the blind hate. I tend to simply ignore those that I'm not a fan of and leave them to their fans. Life is too short to whine about artists you don't enjoy.
Something I've said many times is, The Beatles had a huge following of young girls. They were highly visible showing up everywhere screaming at airports, hotels, and concerts. They weren't the Beatles entire fanbase though. Also The Beatles didn't write a song that wasn't about love (wanting it, being in it, or losing it) until their fifth album. You never hear John, Paul or George's names brought up among the greatest male vocalists, nor are their names mentioned among all time great guitarists. Yet somehow they were the biggest band in the world and have sold more albums than any other artist or band. How? They were good singers/musicians and great songwriters. Plus they weren't just one thing. It's an easy argument they even created music genres. I see Swift in the same light. Not the greatest female vocalist, but quite good. Not the greatest musician, but good. But she's a great songwriter, particularly lyrics, and she's not just one thing.
lol to the thing that all her fans are young girls.. I’ve been with her since debut and I’m 33 now. Shes like 1.5 years older than me. Which is perfect as I can usually relate because when she’s writing the songs is around the age that I am when it releases. Folklore and evermore are my least fav and I think it’s because those were the albums where she made up stories. Compared to her other albums that are about her life.
@@MHSMagicLuverI'm 40 and was almost exclusively a hard rock/goth girl who DESPISED country music until I randomly heard Taylor Swift's debut album in like early 2007. I was instantly hooked and fell in love with her music somehow. It made no sense to anyone who knew me, or to myself, but it was what it was. 17 years later, I seem to love every album more and more. She has aged like the finest wine and she continues perfectly describe my own experience with her beautifully crafted words each time. It has been SOOOOO fun as a "from the start" fan, getting to watch her literally grow up, how her perspectives change and grow with age, and how her craft continues to grow and evolve with that personal growth as well. It's like watching your "cute little sister" grow up and take over the world. 😂
Also for the record, I work in senior living and had several 85+ year old little white haired Swifties with walkers who were super jealous I got to go to the Eras Tour last year and made me bring them back some merch. 😂 Music has no age range or limits. If you connect with it, you connect with it. And that's what I love most about it. ❤
Fun fact she 1st learned guitar on a 12 string because thw shop guy said her handa were too small, but she's proven so many people wrong when it comes to her talent!
I do think youd benefit from listening to Taylor's albums as whole albums because her storytelling in the albums is amazing! Her albums are Taylor Swift, Fearless(Taylor's Version), Speak Now(Taylor's version), Red(Taylor's version)
1989(Taylor's version), reputation, Lover, folklore, evermore, midnights, and the tortured poets department.
Her folk albums are folklore and evermore (they are sister albums cause they released super close to each other), she has some albums with a mix of genres like speak now red and reputation
1989, Lover, midnights, the tortured poets department is pop but none of those albums sound exactly the same even being in the same genre.
But hers some single suggestions for the different albums i think you'd like
1. My tears ricochet, and Mad woman (from folklore)
2. Willow, tolerate it, and No body no crime(evermore)
3. I knew you were trouble from red (id watch this one live)
4. We are never ever ever getting back together (og is pop because her ex hated pop 😅) id recommend the music video AND the live version from 1989 tour specifically cause its a rock version 😍
5. I did something bad, dont blame me, and look what you made me do from reputation (really her tours are all amazing you cant go wrong with her live ❤)
6. From lover id recommend cruel summer, the archer, and ME!
7. Midnights id recomment lavender haze, marroon,anti hero, midnight rain, vigilante shit, wouldve couldve shouldve (but listen to dear john from speak now before/with this song itll add some context)
Glitch, high infidelity and dear reader.
8. Speak Now: Sparks Fly, Speak Now, dear john, the story of us, enchanted, Haunted (this one you gotta watch the speak now tour and listen to the studio version but this live performance is amazing)
9. The Tortured Poets Department: i think youd like Florida!!!, The Smallest man who ever lived (this one you gotta listen to recorded and live like you did with whos afraid of lil old me?), the black dog, the albatross, how did it end?,I hate it here, cassandra and the prophecy
10. For Fearless songs id recommend: Fearless, Jump then fall, the other side of the door, forever and always (this is a good one to watch live on the fearless tour) breathe and thats when
11. For Taylor Swift(her debut album) id recommend picture to burn, a place in this world, cold as you, tied together with a smile, should've said no(the best live of this is from the fearless tour its a longer performance but well worth it) invisible, our song, im only me when im with you, and crazier (this is written for the hannah montana movie and it has a very debut sound so i put it here)
Love the reactions, cant wait for more taylor swift ❤🫶
ivy from evermore, cowboy like me from evermore, 7 from folklore, this is me trying from folklore, youre losing me- single from midnights, soooo much to go into my man. I recommend the same, each of her albums is a book, a story. You must do album reactions with her lol
@@takemetothelakes2412 1000% this! 🫶
I even find some industrial influences in "Ready for it", not just hip-hop. I come from a Gothic/Rock/Metal background and what I really love about Taylor is her ability to paint pictures with her lyrics. She is a real poet. Her masterpiece so far in my opinion is "All too well". If you check it out, go with the lyric video of the 10 min version. She is amazing.
I’m always curious why people don’t like relationship songs. What should people write about? Politics? Religion? Money? One of the cool things about Taylor is that each album and tour builds off of the last one and expresses what’s happening in her life. She went from a super-poppy album that made her a global superstar (1989) to finding herself over-exposed and her reputation being trashed by the media and some ill-intentioned industry people. So she disappeared for a few years and then came back swinging with the Reputation album. There was no lead up, no media. Just her coming back with this harder, darker album and tour. Ready For It is the first song on the album and it begins with her clearing her throat. She was like…you guys hurt me and f-ed me up and here’s what I have to say. Yes the album is about a new relationship, but the over-arching theme is that it’s new and fragile, because SHE was feeling fragile and she knew the media and the fans were going to put them to the test given the huge amount of negative attention on her at the time. She was asking if he was ready for the relationship AND ready for tidal wave of attention it would bring to him.
Taylor was the sole writer and composer of over 65 of the songs on her albums. She even wrote and composed an entire album (“Speak Now”). The songs where she’s not the sole writer/composer, she usually has just 1 other writer credited and it’s her producer. She’s very talented. And yes she plays piano as well as guitar. Plays both live every night on tour acoustically.
Also banjo 😊
Exile by Taylor and Bon Iver I also LOVE tolerate it!
She sings live and this is hard by any measure. The fills Super Bowl stadiums every time she's in concert. It's epic.
You should react to her song. We are never getting back together live 1989 tour. She plays electric guitar and makes it more of a rock song.
THIS. I so wish she’d do a rock album 😍🫶🏾
Yes! This is what I was thinking - he would enjoy that live performance. One of my faves.
@@CallMeEmmy80 ME TOO!! I was initially disappointed with TTPD cuz it wasn't what I need right now (I NEED repTV), but it grew on me and WAOLOM is now fighting for my most favourite song in her whole catalogue.
@@user-pd1yt1ty7x SAME! All of it! 🤭
Exile, Cardigan, and my Tears Ricochet
Yes, Long Pond Sessions.....
Yes!!!
My tears ricochet!!! 😭
Agree with Exile ft. Bon Iver! If you’re looking for a song from her folklore album you can’t skip this one!
Taylor is her own genre 😊 she can do it all!!
Recently found your channel and genuinely enjoy your content! Love your reaction to Taylor’s Ready For It! I too love the heavier semi-industrial/hip hop sound mixed with the lighter bridges. You MUST listen to “I Did Something Bad” from this tour. They are burning all the witches!! Keep up the great channel & wish you the best.
Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much for reacting! Loved your analysis. And I think Taylor's fan base doesn't expect for every person to love or want to out every song on their Playlist. I think most of us just want to people to acknowledge her talent and versatility! So many people write her off as a teenager pop star and she is so much more! Thank you again!!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch my reaction!
I’m happy you’ve given Taylor a chance ❤
She's been dancing for a while. What she did was hire a choreographer as well a stage manager who worked in Broadway productions.
I love the clip of her talking to Tyce Diorio learning the choreography to Look What You Made Me Do (I think?) and she’s like, “There’s too many… it’s like the same words over and over again and I know that’s my fault but…” 😂😂
To get ready for her tours she sings all her songs while running on a treadmill for over three hours. Also the media said she couldn’t dance well….so Taylor trained to become a better dancer.
I am thankful for any music lover who respects Taylor. I enjoy her music but i havent picked it apart to the extent that her legions of more serious fans have but God i love her. She is a true force. She is no angel but filled with light...and 100x yes an amazing role model for women of all ages. She is humble and generous. She is an excellent businesswoman. And she dont take no crap. I love how she manages to stick it to anyone that does her dirty and turns it into something that makes her stronger. The court case. The way she took back her catalog. Makes me so proud of her. ❤❤❤
If you want to know what she’s really like as a person, look what she did for her tour truck drivers!!! She’s an amazing, caring, talented performer!🫶
If “WAOLOM” is your number one, then you need to react to ”Vigilante Shit” it’s your vibe. Especially since you said you are okay with a grudge 😂
Definitely Vigilante live in Eras tour Video!! That one blew my mind. Made me proud and Karma is always gonna get ya. We all know she keeps her side of the street clean!!!
Time to dive into Folklore 🎉 Yes!
Reputation is my favorite album, the fan favorites are "I Did Something Bad", and "Don't Blame Me". She did 2 folk-style albums, folklore and then evermore, they are called sister albums, and she dropped them 5 months apart. There is a teenage love triangle Betty, Cardigan, and August on folklore, so if you do one, you will get asked to do them all. I recommend from her album "folklore" the song Exile featuring Bon Iver (Justin Vernon). One of Taylor's edgier performances is a rock version of her pop song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, she is in black leather and plays electric guitar, this is the song that made Swifties want a rock album from Taylor, she is fierce in her approach with this rock version from her 1989 tour. The MV End Game is where she learned some dance moves for, the MV features Future and Ed Sheeran (he raps), but she learned from a choreographer. Taylor plays 12-string, acoustic, electric guitar, banjo, ukulele and piano, I suspect she might play some other instruments, possibly drums, and violin.
Great suggestions, totally agree! Exile, OMG right?. Referenced your comment in my comment. ICYMI I discovered this gem only recently: Thug Story - T-Pain & T-Swizzie (HILARIOUS)
@@cynthiawenzelcole3060 Did you ABtheKreator's reaction to it?
@@Violet316 I did! In fact I may have found it on his site. I wonder if "Thug Story" is her only rapping-only published song.
When Taylor hit the scene, i was not into country. I saw some vids on MTV back when it was actually showing music, but I never stuck with her.
I started checking her out again a few months ago since she was getting so much hate. (She controlled the Super Bowl outcome, you know 🙄) I've watched rappers break down her lyrics and praise her. A new respect was born. 😊
She does have a lot of songs about relationships...but that's what musicians do. Did people forget all the ballads of the 80s/90s? Music comes from emotion, at least good music does.
❤❤❤
Taylor writes all her owns music and produces it. You should see the behind scenes of her writing this song and this beat.
You have to do Don’t Blame Me from this tour.
Yesss!!! Please do her folk stuff! Start with Exile from the Long Pond Studio Sessions!!!!
❤❤❤
Taylor Swift is a brilliant lyrist storytelling who uses metaphors and is a brilliant performer. TS has some stage background experience early in life, wrote her first song at 12, plays four instruments proficiently, is a prolific songwriter who create three genres to write songs. The instruments? Guitar including 12 string, piano, banjo and ukulele. She crosses several genres and believes artists shouldn't have to stay one genre. Her music can be deeply emotional and relatable.TS songs are emotionally brave, honest and sometimes highly metaphorical. Adding in, Taylors grandmother was an Opera singer, she was named after James Taylor and she shares an ancestral grandparent (common not direct) with a famous female poet. Taylors lyrics are written from a woman's perspective and deep dive into emotional waters. No other songs hit as deeply as Taylors when she chooses to go there. Her songs have made my eyes water and I don't cry easily. Taylor Swift is a legend and musical treasure.
As a musician, metal fan and swifty i can tell you you will love her albums folklore and evermore. The writing is amazing. Aaron Desner and jack Antinoff are her producers and friends and are wonderful musicians. Aaron layers some beautiful fingerstyle guitar in songs like folklores opening track "the one". I think a great place to start would be the long pond studio session of Exile recorded during quarantine. It features Bon Iver and is an absolute masterpiece of a duet. Also her music video for cardigan is a great example of her amazing video concepts that she directs herself.
Thank you for your honest reactions! ❤ I love that even though this is not your type of music you give it a genuine reaction looking at it with open eyes and respect for the artist. Taylor’s haters hate without any true examination of her work and that is what drives her fans to go to bat for her! There are so many great songs of Taylor’s and they are all very different. I hope you continue on this Taylor journey if only to show others to have open minds and really see how hardworking, talented and creative this woman is. Even if it’s not your type of music you show respect and that is something we swifties respect from you! Thanks!
talking about her variety of styles. u should react to Long Live from the eras tour, and we are never ever getting back together (especifically the performance from the 1989 tour where she plays an electric guitar. the first song, its from her third album speak now, and it was the star of her transition from country to pop music, and its dedicated to her crew and fans. anyways, loved the video!! continue with the great work!
I love your thoughtful breakdown of her music. The Long Pond Studio Sessions might be right up your alley. I would recommend either Exile ft. Bon Iver or My Tears Ricochet from LPSS.
The beginning vocals "Baby let the games begin " were sung by the back up singiers
I love the fact that it may not be your cup of tea, but you appreciate the talent still. 🫶 “Willow” is a great one off the Evermore album. Or “Exile” or “Cardigan” off the Folklore album. There are so many favorites on both those albums.
Evermore 🤎 "Evermore" ft. Bon Iver, "right where you left me", "coney island", "gold rush", "closure", Evermore is an experimental journey.
Great reaction! I really appreciate your approach. I have honestly only gotten into Taylor Swift this past year, I never thought I liked her or her music. I can’t believe how many songs are hers that I didn’t know were hers. Seeing her performances and breaking down her writing has truly made me a fan!
Fun fact: Taylor classifies her writing into three types of pens: glitter gel pens, fountain pens, and quill pens. Within those categories you get so many different variations.
I like your heart and open mind. And I like that you hit the lyrics separately, you’re legit. Subscribed!
I did Something Bad and Don’t Blame Me from The Reputation Tour are also bangers and not what expected. We Are Never getting Back Together from 1989 tour is her as a rock goddess playing electric guitar. It was a reimagining of the song not just different instrumentation. She is the real deal.
This was the intro song to this tour 🙏🏻 so hypeeee
love your open minded approach and fresh perspective
I love to be entertained live. Live music is one of the best experiences on this planet.
This spring I went to Sick New World and got a megadose of metal, this fall I will be attending the eras tour in New Orleans and getting a megadose of pop star.
Perhaps, THE pop star.
I like the way you are speaking about her...kudos to you❤❤
You're reactions are WONDERFUL! I really enjoy hearing your thoughts!! I'd LOVE to see you react to Exile by Taylor Swift ft Bon Iver (The longpond version) or I Did Something Bad live
BTW you are the best reactor I've seen so far. Great analysis.
New to channel because I Love your reactions. I know a lot of people are telling you to listen to certain songs from Taylor swift but one you would need to check out is Taylor’s rock version of we are never getting back together. I love the growl in her voice!! Plus whenever she picks up an electric guitar, I know I’m going to love that version.
She a legend
Carolina, No Body No Crime, Willow, Maroon… there are so many great songs in her catalog… thanks for the reaction!
Taylor Swift is amazing. Thank you for stretching your listening I like excellent music from many genres so I like that you are listening to her to respect her talent, hard work, lyrics and her commitment to her dancers, musicians, backup singers and road crew. I subscribed and will listen to reaction you share beyond Taylor so I may learn more about metal
Carolina, Ivy, and Dress are a few of my favorite songs. Also, the entire Tortured Poets Department / Anthology, although it is lore heavy for someone unfamiliar with her previous work. I wasn't a huge fan of the young country Taylor, but she really has grown as an artist. I think she is amazing. I appreciate that you are taking the time to listen to the music and appreciate her lyrics. Best wishes!
So many great songs on folklore and evermore. It’s really hard to pick favorites. I’d say check out Betty, Marjorie, illicit affairs, and my tears ricochet. 😆
Love your reaction videos! On the folk side - the Long Pond Studio videos for Exile and My Tears Ricochet. Exile features Bon Iver. Both are incredible. Also - I love that you mentioned the dancers. Many of the Reputation dancers were with her during her 1989 tour. Taylor and her dancers have great chemistry.
I think you will really love her catalog if only for her lyricism and artistry. I love your open mind about it. I was the same way…a rap and metal fan, until my daughter became a Swiftie, and it forced me to look deeper. I’m in now. 🤷♀️😍😎
She’s said before in interviews she can usually see what it will probably look like on stage (or at least have a general idea) so I think it was intentionally produced to be that cinematic and big bc she already knew it would be the show opener.
She was teased publicly a lot bc everyone kept saying she was awkward and couldn’t dance so she was like, fine watch me learn. Watching the Rep tour film and then the Eras, it’s mind bending how much she’s improved and worked at it.
The folk albums are her pandemic duo: ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’, collecting referred to as ‘folkmore’ or the sister albums.
They’re loaded with her best writing (other than maybe TTPD). One or both are probably in every swiftie’s top 3 TS albums. COMPLETELY different energy than the Rep album.
Recommended from her Folklore album- My Tears Ricochet is great. The writing is so good. I also love Peace. Very vulnerable but not overdone.
Oh nice this is recent. Great place to start with this one, going down the rabbit hole.
I like lots of Taylor Swift songs because of the lycrics... I love "Don't Blame Me", "This is why we can't have nice things", "Vigilant S****", "Champagne problems", "The man", "My boy only breaks his favorite toys"... if you could do these songs, you should google the lyrics because they have layers. I LOVE ❤ REPUTATION era because she wrote songs calling out bullys/liars that almost made hwr loose everything.
This was the first Taylor concert I went to with the Eras Tour being my second. My husband is a metalhead & tags along with me to her shows! Reputation is arguably our favorite 🖤
Suggestion for a folky song: Willow. 😉 Beautifuly music video also (continuation of Cardigan MV, If you want to do a double feature 😉)
She is great with her dancers and her band. I think her 1989 tour live we are never getting back together rock version you would like.
Folklore long pond studio session- this is me trying or my tears ricochet.
Excellent commentary, thank you! I echo comments from @Violet316, adding Look What You Made Me Do. You made a comment not made often enough imo, Taylor Swift is a superb role model for young girls--I would add for humans, in general!
One of my fav fun facts, she ran and SANG the entire show (3.5h!) on a treadmill, EVERY day for six months prior to the tour. DANG, right?!
I saw an Eras Detroit show. It was an extraordinary life experience.
Great reaction! Look forward to the dive down the rabbit hole!
I feel like you would like the live performance of "never say never" 1989 tour
Taylor is totally open about her not being a "dancer", but she works hard to do what she can. She'll never have those dance moves other artists have, but she doesn't need them. She's able to entertain without them. Her performances are always really good and captivating. She's a great entertainer. Taylor loves her dancers and they love her.
Taylor's music is very varied. She loves music. Loves creating music. Loves playing with music and trying new things. Her music has evolved over time.
You should listen to “my tears ricochet” on her folklore album, but you have to know a little about the backstory..there’s a lot, but its about her old label manager (she was the first artist on his label, she was with him since she was 12 or 13 i think) selling the masters to her albums to the one person she didn’t want them to go to. And then that’s what got her onto her re-recording journey. It’s one of her best lyrically imo and hits deep.
great reaction with mention of her dancers. She is close to her current dancers on eras tour
My favourite of her songs from her folk albums is My Tears Richochet, I feel like you’ll appreciate the emotional aspect of it.
You might want to check out her 1989 tour version of we are never ever getting back together!
Thats why I say when you wanna do a reaction to her songs you gotta see a live or video.
Loving your reaction and your constructive criticism. You can watch the Maling of A Song.
You should check out the „I knew you were trouble“ „we are never ever getting back together“ and „out of the woods“ performances from the 1989 World tour. Theyre amazing!
Hey there! Love that youre continuing to check out Taylor! Id love for you to check out the "teenage love triangle" from folklore, which are a trio of songs that tell the same story from each person's perspective -- a teenage boy, the girl he spent the summer with, and the girl he ultimately returns to (Cardigan, August, and Betty are the titles). She weaves them together beautifully and has moments where lines in one song are also in another, at the same timestamp. Truly a masterclass in storytelling!!!
One of my fav things about Taylor is that she really leans into changing the song production for each tour so it fits the vibe -- the exception is on the Eras Tour, where she keeps them close to their original format for the most part. And the ad lib vocals are always more dramatic on the live performances, almost like she's saving the really special high note for tour. Don't Blame Me (rep tour) is an EXCELLENT example of this, the live performance scoops a little higher and she holds the note much longer
I enjoyed this.
I loved your reaction to her. Thanks for giving her a chance. Also, if you haven’t already….. listen to her live rock version of WE ARE NEVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER!!! I think you might enjoy and appreciate that.
Her backing vocalists are so good (they're called "The Starlights") and most of them have been singing live with Taylor for a decade or more. Later in this live show, Taylor introduces them by name as well as a bunch of the dancers. She always takes great care of her team.
Taylor's catalog is extremely varied. This album in particular was like NOTHING she had ever done before, and for good reason. This was a HUGE comeback for her after she was cancelled by the Internet after the Kanye/Kim phone call scandal. Nobody expected this, to the point that this phenomenal album was entirely snubbed at that year's Grammys.
Taylor was often ridiculed for her poor dancing skills, and while she's still a bit awkward sometimes, she's definitely much improved in that regard.
I really really like your thoughtful, intelligent, open-minded vibe!
As a hard rock fan and new swiftie i recommend Don't Blame Me live at Rep tour and I did something bad Rep tour. This concert and her albums Folklore and Midnights made me a fan.
I do appreciate how you review all aspects and watch the live versions also.
Its very nice to see you are so openminded about different kinds of music. A lot of people just hate on Taylor Swift without even knowing her music. I have always kinda avoided her music since im 50y old and i thought i could not relate to it. But then i heard her song "all too well" the 10 minute version and i was instantly hooked. So if you ever have the time it would be great if you reacted to that one. You wont regret it. Greetings from Belgium! Have a great day!
I stayed til the end, great reaction! I'm subbing for more of this. 🙂
I enjoyed your reaction and your thoughts. Your perspective on how she combined the two themes was really interesting. I'd like to see you react to Willow, Lavender Haze, or My Tears Ricochet.
Taylor puts so much in her songwriting and her live performances! You should check out We are never getting back together (it was a huge bubbly pop single, but it is possible you haven’t heard it given your music background) and then check out the live performance from the 1989 tour! It’s imperative that you do this specific live performance (you just need to listen to the radio version to understand the huuuge difference)
Love your reactions to Taylor so far btw, just subscribed 😊
Edit: Taylor really makes a point to mention the dancers, backup singers, band, cleaning crew etc every single time! On this tour, she introduced her backup singers and dancers by name, and she mentioned she had 368 people on her crew and around 3200 people on security, cleaning etc in almost every stadium and she thanked them on stage every night! Idk about you, but idk any other artists that know they have specifically 368 people with them or introduce their crew by name 😅
9:54 she really takes very good of her people
"Cardigan" from Folklore or "Exile" and "My Tears Ricochet" from the Long Pond Studio Session are my recommendations if you want a totally different vibe!
Thank you for going out of the regular box and opening up to hearing new music. You gave a lot of great points. It says a lot about your integrity as an artist that talent can recognize talent. That’s all we ask. It’s ok if it’s not your style, which is why there’s so many different genres. But I really do appreciate that you’re not bashing her because of that. Music is subjective but talent (usually) isn’t.
Thank you for this reaction. I’m a big fan! Well spoken and evaluated. Great job. Really enjoyed your commentary based on facts and not what the media says about her.
The things that impress me about TS are:
Flex talent
Variety in Music Style
Her Beauty
Her Intelligence
Everything about her
INCLUDING:
The amount of money she generates and donates to communities everywhere she holds concerts as well as the amount of money she pays out in bonuses to her workers (her truck drivers got $50,000 last concert!) AND she donates tens of thousands of dollars to food banks in each community she holds concerts.
Her generosity is unmatched! Literally everyone who interacts with her profits in some way.
I love to hear your opinion on different kinds of songs, I should react to Don't blame + What you made me do Eras tour live, it's awesome
you mentioned that you were interested in a folk album!!! that would be her eighth album folklore. it’s more folk-pop than true folk i’d say, but it’s definitely got some incredible tracks! i think if you wanted to react to anything from that album the most folky song would be either betty or the last great american dynasty! but i find that most people most enjoy august or the 1!
The Last Great American Dynasty, My Tears Ricochet (arguably), Seven, and Epiphany are non (romantic) relationship songs from Folklore, the first of her two folk albums. I think My Tears Ricochet would be the one you'd enjoy the most out of those. Honorable mention for Mad Woman, as well, because the lyrics are kind of "metal."
No Body No Crime and Marjorie are non-relationship songs from Evermore, the second of her folk albums.
You should react to I Did Something Bad live from the Reputation tour.
Also, please do an NF reaction. I think you would enjoy how much work he puts into his music, lyrics, and videos.
I agree. Even if her music isn't your thing, how can anyone take away from her takents and work ethic? There are some other artists/bands out there that aren't necessarily my favorites, but i gave a listen. And a few of those I'd still give props for their abilities and/or their humanity.
"No body no crime" is usually my go-to example of a Taylor Swift song thats not a typical relationship song
Yes!!! Folklore long pond studio sessions. Be sure to do the clips where she talks about the making of the song before each one!!! The entire show is available on Disney+ but many clips available on YT
Thank you for your reaction 🫶❤️
I absolutely love your videos and I really appreciate anyone with an open mind!
If you decide to listen to some of her folk stuff, I recommend the song “Seven” from the album Folklore, and the song “Willow” from the album Evermore. She releases these two albums almost back to back as continuations of each other in terms of the folky sound. She also took a different approach to writing these albums with more of a focus on made up characters rather than her own experiences.
I think you would enjoy the lyrics of "this is my trying" off of her folklore album.
Also, many many swifties know the names of lot of her touring band members, backup singers and dancers.
Thank you for your considerate reaction, as always!
Anyone who loves music (whatever the genre), appreciates the hard work that the artist puts into it! As a music lover, I have a very eclectic taste: Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, classic music, some country, Taylor Swift, etc.
It's about the performance and the talent....any idiot can hold a microphone and think they're the bee's knees! But it's the act and the communication with the audience.
I only got into Taylor Swift a year or two ago, I grew up with everyone saying mean things like the reporters did in the intro. I only ever heard bad things about her and if you liked her at school, you usually got bullied (note, I never bullied anyone although I was anti-pop anything after getting sucked into the emo and punk scene). Honestly, I wish I'd got my head out my own ass and listened to her sooner. My life is so much better now I let myself listen to whatever I want to and explore different genres. I went from never listening to her to her being one of my top artists.
