Hi guys! So happy we got to finally listen to “evermore” ❄️🍂 such a beautiful body of work and great follow up to “folklore”. We wanted to say this here; we are aware that “closure” could be about Scott & Scooter as well. We touch on this in our full length reaction on Patreon. It’s an important factor, so mad we cut it 😭 Thank You to those of you that pointed it out ✨ AN EXCLUSIVE REACTION TO “willow” is OUT NOW on PATREON! Hope you guys enjoy the reaction 🫶🏽 What’s your TOP 3!?
Well, It's hard to decide my top 3 because it is my favorite album of Taylor Swift but I'm gonna do it anyway. TOP 3 : 3- Tolerate it 2- Evermore 1- Gold Rush Honorable mention to : -Happiness -Champagne problems -Dorothea -Coney Island -Right where you left me -Marjorie -Willow -Cowboy like me (Yeah it's a lot of honorable mentions, sorry 😅)
Haven't watched yet but I glanced down and saw your comment and I'm SO excited to get there cuz that's one of my favorites and everyone seems to struggle with it or not appreciate it enough! I was already so excited to see this but your comment sent me over the edge!
"Because not only did you take my friend's man, my friend's dead." "Boom." "And you're sleeping in her bed." "Boom." "And I don't like that." "Boom." "And I don't like you. So I gotta take you out." Iconic.
Cowboy like me defenitely suffers from the track placement, because it's one of the best songs she has ever written. I could write entire essays about this song
Cowboy like me is a song that grows on people. It happened to me and so many others. At first I didn't truly connect with it but now it's one of my faves!
@@monimoo88 it's not arranged badly, but there are a lot of slow songs following each other. I admit that I love the listing now, but back then I did not ivy and cowboy like me because i was DRAINED ahhahaha
@@monimoo88 the melody I agree but the lyrics absolutely belong. No other song captures the feeling It describes the way it does. "She's still 23, inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to be....." But to each his own :)
For ivy, the house imagery and how the ivy grows seems to symbolize that while the ivy is beautiful, when ivy grows up a house, it slowly damages it from the outside. While the love is beautiful, it is still an affair and it still is damaging the beauty that already existed in that marriage.
So, the person singing in the end of “Marjorie” is actually her grandmother… they used a recording of her singing and put in the end of the song so this makes it so much more special!

@@beth8191I love happiness, it reminds me of all too well but more updated and mature? not that it’s better because all too well will always be superior but it just reminds me of that and takes me back to when that was released
This album is a huuuge grower. At first I thought it was pretty weak especially compared to folklore, but after listening a few more times it outshines folklore (to me). My favorites are right where you left me, ivy and coney island
I totally agree that tolerate it gives me all too well vibes. When I hear this song I picture it all with the characters and imagery of all too well the short film. And so much of it fits Jake. The age difference, the indifference, the allusion to being an actor (“when you were out there building worlds” always reminds me of an actor building imaginary worlds in their art.) I will always think of this as a Jake inspired song.
Cowboy Like Me has become one of my favorites on the album, but I didn't love it right away either. It took a few listens for it to really resonate with me.
Every time I think Taylor has written her saddest song ever, I will return to Tolerate It. “Believe me I could do it” Ugh. Thanks for giving it the respect it deserves 😭
Fun fact about the song Marjorie, the outro for backing vocals are really from her grandma and they included it to the song. You’ll see Marjorie being credited for this song because of that. 😊 Taylor is genius.
You guys are my favorite to go to for reactions for songwriters like Taylor because your lyrical analysis is always so on-point. Your mutual appreciation for quality lyricism is infectious and reinforces my love for the music. ❤
I definitely see the nods to past relationships in Coney Island: “Were you waiting at our old spot In the tree line by the gold clock Did I leave you hanging every single day?” (Maybe Joe Jonas because of the clock used in The Way I Loved You lyric video) “Were you standing in the hallway With a big cake, happy birthday” (Jake G and her birthday) “Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray? A universe away” (John Mayer lyric from Dear John) “And when I got into the accident The sight that flashed before me was your face” (Harry Styles and their snowmobile accident) “But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” (Calvin Harris and when she didn’t mention him during her Grammy speech)
You guys explaining What exactly happened in No Body No Crime was PERFECTION....... You got it... No everyone does it at firts listening... OMG awesome!!!
I personally love the instrumental to closure and the way it ends abruptly, because it's another layer of symbolism with leaving the listener kind of taken aback and not giving the ear the resolution chord and beat like in other songs, just like the relationship she was talking about, but as she said it wasn't really needed. The song was just fine like that and yes it would be nice to have everything be nice and neat but it wasn't. I think its amazing when she tells the story just as flawlessly with the instrumental as she does with the lyrics.
The opera vocals in Marjorie are her grandmothers. When she says you're singing with me now the vocals are singing behind Taylor. Great tribute to her grandmother.
i cant begin to say how much i appreciate your videos, evermore is my most streamed album of all time and i think about it a lot and i NEVER thought of the connection between tolerate it and all too well, i always loveeeeee to watch your reactions!!
i think tolerate it could also relate to dear john, and tolerate it is like the continuation of the story in dear john if she didn't leave that relationship
@@alaynasoukup2176 after the all too well mv I can't associate tolerate it with anything else 😭😭 like the drop hand, the polishing dishes idk, when you were out building other worlds where was I? Maybe referencing how he was working and missed her birthday party 🤷♂️ not being mentioned in his biography fits how irrelevant Taylor felt in all too well
Edit: also of you think about it I love the parallel with dropped your hand and from red he dropped her hand 💕 live for her With champagne problems I think it paint such a picture of a couple that two ap posing views to how the night was going to go one planned to break up and the other with a ring planning to propose. And how their relationship came with a stigma from the views of their home town that it was never going to
The way he just starts going over the "plot" of "no body, no crime" and talking so quickly is exactly how I am when explaining these things to my boyfriend lmao

I love Happiness, Right Where You Left Me, and Ivy. Truthfully this is in my top 3 of Taylor albums so I actually love it all but those are my top 3 songs. I would love for you to react to Lover, because that's also in my top 3 albums from Taylor, but just as a disclaimer; I think Lover is an experimental album disguised as a bubblegum pop album. What I mean is that the singles make it seem like your generic pop album but the deep cuts play with a variety of sounds and instruments which she had very rarely included in her albums before. In Lover she really explores all aspects of love and it can be love for a partner, or love for a parent, love of acceptance of others, or teaching people to love themselves because they are unique. I don't think a lot of people view it that way on first listen, but it is one of her best performing albums on streaming, so I think the Lover album might be a grower, which people learn to love after a few listens.
I am astounded at the quality of her bonus tracks Right were you left is my favourite song over both album s It sneaks up on you until and you find your self singing it. I am in UK and had to adjust the contrast on my telly to turn down your dazzingly white american teeth that aside I enjoyed your reaction. .
I thought I was the only one seeing the connection of all too well and tolerate it!!! The lyrics "I polish plates until they gleam and glisten", "Use my best colors for your portrait" "You're so much older and wiser..." says it all.
I love your guys' reactions!! You always hit the nail on the head when analysing the lyrics and storytelling. So refreshing! Hope you'll react to more of her discography!! Love from the UK
I know some people in the comments get snippy about reacting to pre-Taylors Versions of things but I'd be curious what you're reaction to Reputation would be. It's SO different than anything else she's done. And it's an important story builder to explain her life and things she's overcome to get to her present state.
I think this is a well known theory but T said when she was writing folklore and evermore, that she was invested in other peoples stories and others lifes (whether they be fictional or real). I believe tolerate it, is from the perspective of Diana and her relationship with Charles, it just makes so much sense to me! She’s so great 🥹
You should listen to Cowboy Like Me with headphones and lyrics up. It is so sonically beautkful and the story itself is really interesting (two con artists that fall in love).
Cowboy like me is so SO SO underrated, i always skipped this song but when you get to know the story...OH MY. It is basically about two con artists/swindlers/ gold diggers that fall in love with each other and leave behind their practices to be together. It's so romantic, if not but a bit angsty as well. Like these are bad people but their story is soooo beautiful.
Actually I see it as an open ended story. Because when dhe said forever is the sweetest con, that can be abt them being con artists or it can about love that it doesn't last forever. So there is another story where it can be a sad one too. 😢
@@ryu1305 ohhh I lobe that line, for me that line means That when we say forever it's still a lie because in death we're apart iykwim. Like forever is the sweetest lie because when we are together all possible outcomes of falling apart dissappear and being with you is a bliss.
My top albums are still: Midnights, Evermore, Lover. Love the reaction so far! Evermore is definitely an album that grows on you more and more over time.
i really like seeing your reactions to her songs, because you actually break down the lyrics and try to understand and gather what she’s saying. Also, I never thought about champagne problems like that but it makes so much sense. And my top 3 (not any particular order) is: 1. evermore 2. Ivy 3. tis the damn season
since you guys loved the bon iver feature on evermore you should definitely check out his sophomore album bon iver, bon iver which is full of this sound!! evermore was more of his true sound as an artist compared to exile but i love them both to pieces and hope they continue to work together! which they actually have on big red machines recent album! (collab between justin vernon of bon iver and aaron desner of the national) theres two songs featuring taylor on it!
Some little things you may have missed-- -Ivy has sapphic hints, ie, the main character may be having an affair with a woman. Once I understood that it changed the way I hear it. -While it is understood "Coney Island" is to her exes by the fans, I also think it's layered in that it's the husband's point of view from Tolerate It. -In Marjorie the operatic voice was actually Marjorie herself, sampled in from home recordings.
Ivy is a gorgeous song but has zero nods to any gender whatsoever beyond the husband on whom the narrator is cheating. Take from it what you will though.
@@musicfangirl7403 somebody else floated the sapphic idea to me and I do actually see hints in it like "freezing hands" (I'm a hetero girl myself and most men tend to run warmer than most women. I would call my husband my furnace in the winter and I've found from conversation this is a normal thing.) Also the way it creeps in and takes over-- I picture this as an old timey song from when homosexuality wasn't discussed and her having a sexual awakening to being bi or a lesbian after being married to a man in an era when men held more power over women (if it was today and it was this big of a deal why not just leave him?) Anyway I saw women who aren't hetero discussing this on another site and when I relistened to it with that dynamic in mind it really changed the song for me in a good way. Also, ivy isn't destructive like most vines, like kudzu, that grow on homes. That's why you often see it intentionally grown on houses. It doesn't penetrate the walls, it covers the home without destruction so it makes it seem less like an illicit affair and more a growing change, an awakening.
@@sistermadrigalmorning233 Taylor practically confirmed it was inspired by Emily Dickenson's sapphic relationship, the sapphic nods are in the language, such as describing her eyes as opals, how often do you hear men's eyes described with gemstones? I believe the magnificently cursed line is about homosexual love, especially seeing it as a period piece bring gay would be seen as a curse or possession or sickness but you long for it cause the love is worth it. also that's a very good point about ivy it's not destructive rather the point is once ivy gets in something it's almost impossible to truly get rid of it so it's more the love covered her heart of stone (house) and it will never be the same
@@acetales148 exactly! For me if it was a heterosexual relationship I dislike the narrator because they're just a cheater. But with it being a sexuality thing I feel genuine sympathy and can get caught up in it because she obviously didn't know/wasn't allowed to express same sex love. It's heart wrenching in its messiness instead of just being messy.
Taylor wrote that song and dedicated to her grandmother was a opera singer they worked it in to the song towards the end Taylor's grandmother voice in the song.
Hi guys! So happy we got to finally listen to “evermore” ❄️🍂 such a beautiful body of work and great follow up to “folklore”.
We wanted to say this here; we are aware that “closure” could be about Scott & Scooter as well. We touch on this in our full length reaction on Patreon. It’s an important factor, so mad we cut it 😭 Thank You to those of you that pointed it out ✨
AN EXCLUSIVE REACTION TO “willow” is OUT NOW on PATREON!

3- Tolerate it
2- Evermore
1- Gold Rush
Honorable mention to :
-Happiness
-Champagne problems
-Dorothea
-Coney Island
-Right where you left me
-Marjorie

(Yeah it's a lot of honorable mentions, sorry 😅)
my top 3: coney island, cowboy like me, tis the damn season!!
Top 3 is cowboy like me, happiness and dorothea
top 3 evermore, tolerate it, gold rush
tolerate it, Marjorie & ‘tis the damn season!!
the way y’all understood the assignment with no body, no crime INSANE
It's so underrated 🥺
Haven't watched yet but I glanced down and saw your comment and I'm SO excited to get there cuz that's one of my favorites and everyone seems to struggle with it or not appreciate it enough! I was already so excited to see this but your comment sent me over the edge!
LITERALLY!!!!👏👏👏
no body no crime is my fav song. it’s so exciting to see others who love it as much as me!!
theyre just read everything from genius lol its kind of easy to understand if ur literally reading the explanation
"Because not only did you take my friend's man, my friend's dead."
"Boom."
"And you're sleeping in her bed."
"Boom."
"And I don't like that."
"Boom."
"And I don't like you. So I gotta take you out."
Iconic.
Their energy their had me ROLLING 🤣
Evermore is that album that grows and grows and grows on you over time
As time goes on,I feel like this album is getting/aging better than folklore or maybe it's cuz winter is approaching xD
I honestly fell in love the first time I heard it. But folklore is growing on me I'm a baby swiftie
I loved this album emediatly but over time and after letting the lyrics sink in it is now my all time favourite album
YESSSS
it grew on me like ivy and now I'm covered in it 😭
Everybody misses the rich sound and the sophistication of "Cowboy like me" at first but after a while it becomes a favourite for many on this album.
That is exactly what happened to me.
Mee tooo
Yeah i didn't like it at first, but it grew on me... A lot. Now it's one of the best in the album for me
This is one of the best songs she’s ever recorded, lyrically and sonically. I’m always shocked when people don’t recognize it as such!
i used to skip it at first and now it’s in my top three lmao
Cowboy like me defenitely suffers from the track placement, because it's one of the best songs she has ever written. I could write entire essays about this song
Cowboy like me is a song that grows on people. It happened to me and so many others. At first I didn't truly connect with it but now it's one of my faves!
I’m always shocked when people say the second half of the album was arranged badly bc it’s personally my favorite part of the album.
@@monimoo88 it's not arranged badly, but there are a lot of slow songs following each other. I admit that I love the listing now, but back then I did not ivy and cowboy like me because i was DRAINED ahhahaha
It’s exactly where it should be.
Coney Island -> Ivy -> CLM = perfect trio
same wtf it is so good man
honestly right where you left me is one of the best lyrics she has ever written and people sleep so hard on this song
ONG I AGREE
TRUTH HAS BEEN SAID
I personally disagree. To me it feels very juvenile and unworthy of the album as a whole.
@@monimoo88 the melody I agree but the lyrics absolutely belong. No other song captures the feeling It describes the way it does. "She's still 23, inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to be....."
But to each his own :)
I love this song so much, it's criminal how underrated it is. the line "if our love died young I can't bear witness" gets me every time
the no body no crime theorizing bit had me in shambles
The way they not only listen but they LISTEN. Like they pay attention and appreciate the beauty of this album.
Exactly and they often don't even need the context behind the song but they figure it out by themselves 😊👍
The reaction to No Body, No Crime is everything!
For ivy, the house imagery and how the ivy grows seems to symbolize that while the ivy is beautiful, when ivy grows up a house, it slowly damages it from the outside. While the love is beautiful, it is still an affair and it still is damaging the beauty that already existed in that marriage.
May I add that ivy symbolises fidelity, which adds whole another layer to the song?
It also causes cracks in the foundation.
“It feels like being in a forest casting a spell” that’s funny because that exact scene was in the music video lol.
So, the person singing in the end of “Marjorie” is actually her grandmother… they used a recording of her singing and put in the end of the song so this makes it so much more special!
coney island’s bridge has so many references to other songs and things that happened in her life, it’s my favorite in the album

Taylor and bon Iver should release an album together.
Renegade is also a fantastic song from Big Red Machine (Bon Iver, Aaron Dessner and Taylor Swift).
Second this
Your explanation of No Body, No Crime has me DYING 😂😂😂😂
Cowboy Like Me is personally my favorite but I agree that procession-wise following Coney Island and Ivy the album needed an uptick
Ivy is one of the more upbeat songs on the album tho 🤔
@@foxesamu this is what confuses me about everyone saying it needed a different pace? Like Ivy was 😂
Evermore is my favourite album! Choosing a top three is so hard...
In no particular order:
Cowboy like me, Ivy, Right where you left me

Period
EXACTLY THE SAME BUT REPLACE IVY WITH HAPPINESS
@@beth8191I love happiness, it reminds me of all too well but more updated and mature? not that it’s better because all too well will always be superior but it just reminds me of that and takes me back to when that was released

Cowboy Like Me has become one of my favorites on the album, but I didn't love it right away either. It took a few listens for it to really resonate with me.
Every time I think Taylor has written her saddest song ever, I will return to Tolerate It. “Believe me I could do it” Ugh. Thanks for giving it the respect it deserves 😭
gain the weight of you then lose it💔
@@jessamaevidanes3630 Heartbreaking 💔
Never grow up, ronan and Marjorie make me cry the most.

Cowboy like Me is such a grower though! Initially I wasn't floored by it either but eventually it became my favourite song of the album!
I definitely see the nods to past relationships in Coney Island:

“But when I walked up to the podium

I would love for you to react to Lover, because that's also in my top 3 albums from Taylor, but just as a disclaimer; I think Lover is an experimental album disguised as a bubblegum pop album. What I mean is that the singles make it seem like your generic pop album but the deep cuts play with a variety of sounds and instruments which she had very rarely included in her albums before. In Lover she really explores all aspects of love and it can be love for a partner, or love for a parent, love of acceptance of others, or teaching people to love themselves because they are unique. I don't think a lot of people view it that way on first listen, but it is one of her best performing albums on streaming, so I think the Lover album might be a grower, which people learn to love after a few listens.

Evermore stand rise up , evermore is a no skip album ❤
There is something about your voices. They are so soft and silky. It's so easy to listen to you guys
i feel like Champagne Problems its my favorite Taylor Swift song ever
right where you left me is literally in my top 5 ever its a masterpiece
I am astounded at the quality of her bonus tracks Right were you left is my favourite song over both album s It sneaks up on you until and you find your self singing it. I am in UK and had to adjust the contrast on my telly to turn down your dazzingly white american teeth that aside I enjoyed your reaction. .

I could never choose a fav track for this album because about 9 of them have my heart
I love your guys' reactions!! You always hit the nail on the head when analysing the lyrics and storytelling. So refreshing! Hope you'll react to more of her discography!! Love from the UK
Marjorie’s opra singer in the background is actually an old voice recording of Marjorie singing in the opra! 🥹
they TURNED IT OUUUTTTT with that no body no crime theorizing bit OMG
Imagine listening to IVY and COWBOY LIKE ME while it's raining.
I know some people in the comments get snippy about reacting to pre-Taylors Versions of things but I'd be curious what you're reaction to Reputation would be. It's SO different than anything else she's done. And it's an important story builder to explain her life and things she's overcome to get to her present state.
i think it would be better for them to wait for the taylor’s version of reputation
Absolutely wonderful reaction video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 my top 3 are. 1 happiness. 2 ivy. 3 gold rush
the rain in the background was heavenly
oh ive been waiting for this one 🫶🏽
Yesssss..........I love your Taylor reactions
I think this is a well known theory but T said when she was writing folklore and evermore, that she was invested in other peoples stories and others lifes (whether they be fictional or real). I believe tolerate it, is from the perspective of Diana and her relationship with Charles, it just makes so much sense to me! She’s so great 🥹
You should listen to Cowboy Like Me with headphones and lyrics up. It is so sonically beautkful and the story itself is really interesting (two con artists that fall in love).
Cowboy like me is so SO SO underrated, i always skipped this song but when you get to know the story...OH MY. It is basically about two con artists/swindlers/ gold diggers that fall in love with each other and leave behind their practices to be together. It's so romantic, if not but a bit angsty as well. Like these are bad people but their story is soooo beautiful.
Actually I see it as an open ended story. Because when dhe said forever is the sweetest con, that can be abt them being con artists or it can about love that it doesn't last forever. So there is another story where it can be a sad one too. 😢
@@ryu1305 ohhh I lobe that line, for me that line means That when we say forever it's still a lie because in death we're apart iykwim. Like forever is the sweetest lie because when we are together all possible outcomes of falling apart dissappear and being with you is a bliss.
Yes to the no body, no crime love. This, don’t blame me and delicate are some of my all time favs
i am soooo glad you love evermore the song. that’s my favorite 🥹
My top albums are still: Midnights, Evermore, Lover. Love the reaction so far! Evermore is definitely an album that grows on you more and more over time.
evermore is my baby
“That’s My Man”❤️🔥🤗
Edit: my favourites are “happiness” and “tolerate it”💎
i really like seeing your reactions to her songs, because you actually break down the lyrics and try to understand and gather what she’s saying.
Also, I never thought about champagne problems like that but it makes so much sense.
And my top 3 (not any particular order) is:
1. evermore
2. Ivy
3. tis the damn season
You guys always make me hear songs in a whole knew way and I love it so much.
since you guys loved the bon iver feature on evermore you should definitely check out his sophomore album bon iver, bon iver which is full of this sound!! evermore was more of his true sound as an artist compared to exile but i love them both to pieces and hope they continue to work together! which they actually have on big red machines recent album! (collab between justin vernon of bon iver and aaron desner of the national) theres two songs featuring taylor on it!
Riding on the evermore feels train again 💖🙌
Protect cowboy like me!!!!!
Also Julians analysis of no body no crime was fucking priceless 😂 LOVE hhhah
Lover next? ✨💝 Love your reactions guys! 🥳🧡
Ig after Midnights 😁
Some little things you may have missed--
-Ivy has sapphic hints, ie, the main character may be having an affair with a woman. Once I understood that it changed the way I hear it.
-While it is understood "Coney Island" is to her exes by the fans, I also think it's layered in that it's the husband's point of view from Tolerate It.
-In Marjorie the operatic voice was actually Marjorie herself, sampled in from home recordings.
Ivy is a gorgeous song but has zero nods to any gender whatsoever beyond the husband on whom the narrator is cheating. Take from it what you will though.
@@musicfangirl7403 somebody else floated the sapphic idea to me and I do actually see hints in it like "freezing hands" (I'm a hetero girl myself and most men tend to run warmer than most women. I would call my husband my furnace in the winter and I've found from conversation this is a normal thing.) Also the way it creeps in and takes over-- I picture this as an old timey song from when homosexuality wasn't discussed and her having a sexual awakening to being bi or a lesbian after being married to a man in an era when men held more power over women (if it was today and it was this big of a deal why not just leave him?) Anyway I saw women who aren't hetero discussing this on another site and when I relistened to it with that dynamic in mind it really changed the song for me in a good way. Also, ivy isn't destructive like most vines, like kudzu, that grow on homes. That's why you often see it intentionally grown on houses. It doesn't penetrate the walls, it covers the home without destruction so it makes it seem less like an illicit affair and more a growing change, an awakening.
@@sistermadrigalmorning233 Taylor practically confirmed it was inspired by Emily Dickenson's sapphic relationship, the sapphic nods are in the language, such as describing her eyes as opals, how often do you hear men's eyes described with gemstones? I believe the magnificently cursed line is about homosexual love, especially seeing it as a period piece bring gay would be seen as a curse or possession or sickness but you long for it cause the love is worth it. also that's a very good point about ivy it's not destructive rather the point is once ivy gets in something it's almost impossible to truly get rid of it so it's more the love covered her heart of stone (house) and it will never be the same
@@acetales148 exactly! For me if it was a heterosexual relationship I dislike the narrator because they're just a cheater. But with it being a sexuality thing I feel genuine sympathy and can get caught up in it because she obviously didn't know/wasn't allowed to express same sex love. It's heart wrenching in its messiness instead of just being messy.
Cowboy like me is so deeply superior
One of my favorite albums 🧡 so excited to get your povs!!
You guys are amazing at deciphering these songs I love ur guys interpretations!

Love your breakdown of Ivy and the metaphor. Hadn’t thought about it like poison Ivy, what a great metaphor for an affair
Guuuys I’m telling you “Cowboy like me” is a definitely grower, it’s in my top 3💔
Taylor wrote that song and dedicated to her grandmother was a opera singer they worked it in to the song towards the end Taylor's grandmother voice in the song.
