Taylor has had 9 eras aka 9 studio album releases: -Taylor Swift (Teardrops on my Guitar/Our Song) -Fearless (You Belong With Me/Love Story) -Speak Now (Mine, Back to December) -Red (I Knew You We’re Trouble, 22) -1989 (Blank Space/Shake It Off) -Reputation -Lover -Folklore -Evermore The mountain of Taylor’s during the bridge consist of outfits from her previous eras, be it outfits from music videos, concerts, or award shows. The Taylor at the end that says “I’d very much like to be excluded from this narrative” is her from the VMAs when Kanye interrupted her speech.
Question do you consider debut and fearless one and the same era? And folklore and evermore another? Given that even though those are 4 different albums the dressing was/is kinda similar... At least I do conaider them that way... Debut/fearless share the cowboy boots/sun dresses/ball gowns curly hair though color wise debut was more greens and blues spring(y) were as feraless was more metalic and yellow. Folklore and evermore share the nature/woods thing though color wise one is balck and withe and the other is reds and oranges (you know simbolizing the stations) Well at least that is what I think... Could be wrong... That is why I ask.
@@missmaggicasares6538 overall i consider debut and fearless to be the same era but more specifically i think they are connected eras meaning they aren't the exact same bc fearless had more of a golden fairytale feel whereas debut as you said was more cowgirl-like nd veryy springy same goes for folklore and evermore, but for folklore and evermore i see them as completely different eras with a sister-like connection whereas fearless and debut i could see how they could possibly be the same era
i started being a fan not a long time ago and one of the first thing i did was watch a video who explained all the references in this music video because i was very curious since i first heard the song years ago, and let me tell you....this music video was sooo well planned in every single small detail that i was shook lol i really love her and i am still amazed by how well made is the music video, just wow!! she is such a genius, you should watch it if you wanna learn more of the video and everything behind it, just search: look what you made me do references, you won't regret it!!
yeah tbh i always loved her music but during reputation, i stayed away bc i dont like celeb drama......then i watched this music video and i was like :) oh :) shes lowkey a genius :) and i never looked back since lmaoo
Exactly. You got her message, Look What They Made Her Do! Sadly, she's exactly who she needs to be, wiser and less trusting... and not caring what someone else says or thinks. Only what she knows to be true.
This is her most EASTER EGG MV so far. So many clues and easter eggs. Lols. I love the I LOVE TS shirt references. 8 back up dancer for her 8 ex boyfriends. Also, last part. The monologue. Saaavaaaggggeee! 🔥
Taylor: I’ve had several upheavals in my career. When I was 18, they were like, “She doesn’t really write those songs.” So my third album (Speak Now) I wrote by myself as a reaction to that. Then they decided I was a serial dater - a boy-crazy man-eater - when I was 22. And so I didn’t date anyone for, like, two years. And then they decided in 2016 that absolutely everything about me was wrong. If I did something good, it was for the wrong reasons. If I did something brave, I didn’t do it correctly. If I stood up for myself, I was throwing a tantrum. And so I found myself in this endless mockery echo chamber. Rolling Stone: But you also had good things happen in your life at the same time - that’s part of Reputation (her comeback album) Taylor: The moments of my true story on that album are songs like “Delicate,” “New Year’s Day,” “Call It What You Want,” “Dress.” The one-two punch, bait-and-switch of Reputation is that it was actually a love story. It was a love story in amongst chaos. All the weaponized sort of metallic battle anthems were what was going on outside. That was the battle raging on that I could see from the windows, and then there was what was happening inside my world - my newly quiet, cozy world that was happening on my own terms for the first time. . . . It’s weird, because in some of the worst times of my career, and reputation, dare I say, I had some of the most beautiful times - in my quiet life that I chose to have. And I had some of the most incredible memories with the friends I now knew cared about me, even if everyone hated me. The bad stuff was really significant and damaging. But the good stuff will endure. The good lessons - you realize that you can’t just show your life to people.
Dude taylor had a whole a different Era for her every album ... like you could literally tell from her hair and outfits which album or year is it... This video was from her 6th album after she disappeared for like a whole a year she didn't do any interviews or press conferences for reputation album due to which she conveyed everything she wanted to through her videos which is why this video had a lot of Easter eggs every single frame had a new one 🤣😂 still after all these years taylor says that we haven't found all the Easter eggs in this video which is just so crazy to think about...
This was the first single Reputation, when we had not yet heard anything from the rest of the album. The video makes references to Kanye and Kim and also to Katy Perry (the car crashing scene). At first we were led to believe that it was an album that would only talk about her reputation and all the songs would sound like this and "...Ready for it?", but when the album came out we realised that it is about a love story that is born in the lowest moment of Taylor's life. When she says that the old taylor is dead, and that symbolises the scene of taylor in the Rep suit with all the old taylors (those taylors are from all eras: concerts, music videos...). The "I love TS" T-shirts are a reference to a T-shirt Tom Hiddleston wore when they were dating. Right at the beginning, there is a gravestone with the name "Nils Sjoberg", which is the pseudonym she used in the credits of a song by her ex, Calvin Harris (This is What You Came For). When she is in the bathtub, there is a dollar, which represents the dollar she won when a man who assaulted her lost the lawsuit he filed. When her past self calls her a "bitch" she is also referring to Kanye. 8 dancers, 8 ex boyfriends (because of her crazy dating girl reputation). The last scene is brilliant, when she asks to be "excluded from this narrative" she refers to all the Kanye VMAs drama back in 2009 It's such a complete video that it's impossible to write all the Easter eggs in just one comment.
i believe the car crash was Justin Bieber's photoshoot with a grammy in a leopard coat and the car crashed is when he crashed his car and references him colliding with her ( the building was name Taylor Swift)
The car crash was her career because of a speech she made at The Grammy's which got twisted by Kanye...Looked me out and threw a feast is about Scooter and Karlie Kloss who used Taylor to raise her profile.
Her reputation album is the best comeback ever. I think you'd definitely love it. The best part is that during this whole album she didn't give any interviews or explanations, but she did film her writing and producing this album. Also, for the people that were calling her a snake and a liar, they were all proven wrong when the full (unedited) phonecall between her and Kanye was leaked recently.
Taylor really popularized and trend album releases as Eras.. she really reinvents herself everytime evrry album is different or at least dissimilar toe each other
Even though Taylor may have a “pop” album or a “country” album, those albums will still showcase other genres. Like in “reputation,” she raps on a couple songs, and in a couple of her country albums, there are rock vibes in some of the songs. Plus, each album that covers the same genre will still differentiate sonically within that genre. That is why they are classified as eras. Taylor said she likes to think of each album as mood boards each with different colors and sounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had scents assigned to each album and technology just hasn’t caught up to her genius yet. I really do enjoy your reactions and how you piece everything together. Ty for making Taylor Swift reaction videos!
Search for Her...try to know Her...and You will gonna have the ride into the genius of this century......swallowed by the natural escense of her 💖Love is All She is....cause She is what She Loves !!!!!!
This is one of the most iconic mv of all time. All these are her old eras, or old mv Taylor’s. She is on top and putting an end to the old Taylor, she is taking control. Remember, when she started she was 15-16 yrs old, her persona was sometimes controlled, she was often walked upon. Don’t get me wrong, don’t cross her, but her label told her a lot of what she could and couldn’t do, and she tried to be very nice. She had beef with Katy Perry, but really she is known for going out of her way to be nice, trusting people. NOW, she killed that old Taylor, so she wasn’t going to be walked upon, or taken advantage of, or muffled, or whatever. She was breaking out of the constraints and becoming who she really is. The real Taylor. Yes, she can’t trust them, stabbed her in the back and now she has gotten harder and smarter in the nick of time, she does it all the time. So this has so many Easter eggs……. The dress on the zombie Taylor is the dress she wore in the Out of the Woods music video. The robbing is the streaming agencies that she stood up against and fought for better pay for artists. Reputation era is iconic. Ready For it….. comes in hard, but it is really a love song. It is also a good video. Reputation as a whole is a love album. This song is not representative of the album but she had to do it. She had to own the snake. So what did she do? She created an entire tour around the snake and grossed the most $ in US history. It was brilliant.
The outfit are the different characters she played in music videos and performances :) I'm pretty sure it's both (so in a way it's kinda also about the different eras). I know for sure that some of them are from music videos at least.
I think reacting to "the it factor: taylor swift" by jasmine zade would be something fun to react to, it really gives a good explanation and goes through a lot of the different eras and the success behind it
This music video literally introduced me to her and I had no choice but to stan. Stanning her has been a great life experience. LWYMMD music video is a masterpiece
Your reaction was one of the best reactions I have seen and you were pretty close on your insights into the MV, great job. Taylor usually has a very high-end budget with her MV's, and most time watching the MV clarifies what the song is about especially this one in particular. I had a blast watching your reaction, Thank you
After this I want you to react to more of her Reputation era. Like the videos for Ready for it or Delicate. A album reaction would be great too. Reputation was so different and Look what you made me do her comeback after nearly two years. I'm glad that you got the message behind the she's dead line. She said in an interview that the old Taylor means the version of her who wants to please everyone. That wasn't healthy for her and I'm glad she moved away from it. She talks about it in her Miss Americana documentary. You should react to it too. ;) Every album had its own era. I think even Folklore and Evermore are different even if the differences are smaller than normal (for her).If we talk in genres she had country (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now) country/pop (Red) pop (1989, Reputation and Lover) and then Folklore and Evermore. But even 1989, Reputation and Lover are totally different. I'd like to see your reaction to every album tbh. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts about her lyrics and sounds. :)
if we haven't asked too much from you already it would've been really nice and insightful of you to react to a breakdown or analysis for this mv, because it show's how much taylor cares and thinks about her music and her career not only on her songs but her music videos too, she creates and treats her albuns as eras on their own, visuals, sounds, even her outfits on the daily are part of the era
Regarding the birdcage, that is what it could symbolize. Or it could be something completely opposite😂. There are so many hidden meanings and Easter eggs that I doubt even Taylor can remember them all.
Yeah 😂 I forget in what interview she said this, but she basically said “it got out of hand” because even though she had a few Easter eggs that she put in the videos, fans started finding new ones, that she didn’t put in intentionally, but that still somehow connected and eventually even she lost track of how many Easter eggs she put in and how many are actually just fan theories.
9 albums but for me I would say 7 eras (she used to release an album every 2 years up until Rep) Debut, Fearless era - country Taylor Speak Now era - still country Taylor but I feel like she deserves her own moment since that album was self written Red era - country/pop 1989 era - pop, like FULL ON super star *kim/kanye + media drama but also met Joe* Reputation era - pop/electronic Lover era - bubblegum pop / first album she owned / was cut short because of covid Folklore/Evermore era - indie/alternative Also technically we’re in the Taylor’s Version era too… what a time! I think Speak Now TV is next! But also anticipating TS 10. I think she’s in such a good place right now, like maybe she doesn’t feel like she has to “reinvent” herself every album - that pressure isn’t there anymore. If she wanted to try something new I think a Jazz vibe would be really cool!
Taylor doesn’t make music videos; She makes high-budget, short films. The scripts are excellent & they just happen to be more entertaining than some of the actual full-length, star studded movies that are being pushed out of Hollywood every year. 🤣 I really hope you react to “Are you ready for it?” I love that video.
5:34 - Those aren't just her in the outfits from earlier in the video. There's also her from videos she did years ago. :) The one in a glasses and pajama bottoms is from "You Belong With Me"
What most people don't even notice, but myself and my friend did because we are big, MJ fans as well, she almost gives a nod to a mj in a lot of her videos I have it on my Twitter, the side-by-side images of Taylor's, and MJ's videos, just a shot like the zombie, her in a white futuristic room in a black outfit... there are so many
If you know the "i don't trust nobody and nobody trust me" the "ha ha ha ha" backing vocal are the same backing vocal from her song called "innocent" that song was about the 2009 VMA incident
Hey man awesome reaction! Glad you got around to this music video, it shows how versatile she. If you want to be blown away by a song off of her Reputation Era, please react to her music video "...Ready for it?". It's the first track off the album and aside from the fact that the special effects in it are insanely good, the song is... well let's just say your definitely not ready for it lol. Looking forward to your future Taylor reactions! :-)
I saw your reaction to the explanation of LWYMMD references. One thing missing about the Stream CO robbery is that when she pulled off her music from streaming because she didn't agree how underpaid the artists were, she was accused of being calculating and wanting to launch her own streaming plataform. She appears burning money because that was never the point for her, but she did end up making streaming plataforms pay artists better.
I'm a Swiftie and I have to say I'm so proud of you seeing everything that Taylor is, how smart she is, and amazing the world she created is. SO proud boy
Please React to "Call it what you want" from Reputation, Taylor's performance at AMA award, and actually, the whole Reputation album ! 😍 this era is unforgettable.
I'm binge watching all of your Taylor swift reactions right now and loving them. You really try to understand every part of her. You make them so interesting!!
You should watch a video explaining all the easter eggs of the mv. Honestly, the list is endless. She's put so much thought and work in making this. Reputation was the most iconic comeback. Also, taylor swift invented eras. I said what I said. You should also watch Jasmine Zade's (the same person who made the dark side of one direction) series she makes explaining the "it factor" for successful artists. She's done harry styles and taylor swift. And both of them are so nicely done and informative (like all of her videos). Loved this one. I really love your channel being a directioner and a swiftie. Also appreciate the 5sos content. Have a nice day/night!
No one says F*#k you better than TS thru her songs!! And I am so glad that after all she endured, after being wronged by so many people, now in 2023 she is on top of the world and the biggest star on the planet!! No revenge is sweeter than huge success!! Wish her even greater success going forward!! 👊
There’s several “decoding” videos on what every scene represents. Even if you don’t react to them, you should watch a couple because there’s a whole lot of subliminal and explicit meanings in this video.
I just have to say your commitment to satisfying your videos is incredible, thank you for yet another Taylor Swift reaction! ☺️ So many references and call backs to previous eras and music videos so this was just a mind blowing comeback! greatly appreciated!
*Taylor is the Queen of Eras, she really knows how to reinvent herself and change her sound in every album. Reputation is needed to be made which is made from her lowest and IS THE BEST COMEBACK ON HISTORY. It may have been seen by others as revenge or a clap back to hater but reputation is a love album at it's core, with her singing songs about her newfound lover, her refuge in the midst of all chaos, drama, as the world tries to cancel her 😭*
So far, you're the best commentator. Not fake. But genuine opinion.. and I love that. I became a fan after watching your reaction with the All Too Well Movie. Keep it up! Keep it real! 💙🇵🇭
Hands down best music video literally watch it all the time it’s a work of art. Literal perfection and so is the song. 🙌 I’m sure someone already gave you the answer to this but basically all those other “Taylors” are all from her iconic outfits/music video looks/moments/etc. and she’s basically saying the old Taylor is dead I’m in control of my own image and my own future and etc. you get it! Lol
hii! first i wanted to say that i love your reactions! i think you should watch a video explaining all the references so you can understand this mv and also this whole era better
The outfits are from her entire career. Now she doesn't have that many eras (as in each dress a different era) about 7. (debut and fearless, speak now, red, 1989, reputation, lover, folklore and evermore) but she did have many dresses representing a specific era. That is why there are so many.
Check out all her eras Each n every era is so different n unique in its own way. COUNTRY :- Taylor Swift (slf titled) Fearless Speak now Red POP:- 1989 Lover Reputation ALTERNATIVE :- Folklore Evermore
I started listening to Taylor after Reputation came out. I kind of envy all the fans who didn't hear from her forever, and then got hit with this album. It must have been such an experience: a blow and a justification, all wrapped into one.
A lot of this video is about how the music industry steals from the musicians and how they treat them. This video was done just after she re-released all her music so she would have ownership of her own songs
Anyway putting aside her massive project of re-recording her old stuff, she has a total of 9 eras/albums. Each of them has big hits. List of her albums and some of the hits you might've heard: Self-titled 🤠 (Our Song, Teardrops on My Guitar, Tim McGraw) Fearless 👑 (Love Story, You Belong With Me) Speak Now 🌷(Back To December, Mean) Red 💔(I Knew You Were Trouble, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Red) 1989 😎(Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dream, Out of The Woods) Reputation 🖤(Look What You Made Me Do, Endgame, ...Ready For It?) Lover 🌈(ME!, Lover) Folklore Evermore🍁
I never used to be a fan of this song but I love it now. It's different from her usual style but the lyrics are awesome as usual and it's catchy. But the thing I love most is the music video and all the symbolism and costume changes, truly phenomenal how much work was clearly put into it, and the dancing was awesome too.
The album Reputation is excellent and is more than people think. It is about love during the worst time for her, and not all the album is a response to K&K. You should give it a try; to this day is my favorite pop album of hers.
This is actually about 5 eras, from her first 5 albums. Her debut self-titled album was totally country, mainly about a young girl learning to navigate her way through the world. Her second album Fearless was about teenage heartbreak and love fantasies, and has a lot of themes of being a princess in a fairy tale. Her third album Speak Now was a lot of country but some pop, and was about speaking up for what you want and not letting opportunities pass you by. Her fourth album, Red (my personal favorite) was about entering your 20's and experiencing lots more heartbreak and learning more about what love is, the good and the bad. Her fifth album, 1989, was her first completely pop album, and had more themes of learning lessons about love as a twentysomething in New York. All of these albums were well loved until a little after 1989's release when people started hating on her, and so she released reputation (probably tied with Folklore as my second favorite album of hers), and it was all about shocking people with a completely different, dark side of her that nobody would have expected. But what I love about the album is even through all the songs about betrayal, looking closely at the album beyond the surface, reputation is still about love, but just discovering who your real friends are. Just look at the lyrics to Delicate or Call it What You Want. Anyway I know nobody asked for this comment and probably no one will ever read it or care it exists, but I'm going to post it anyway because I randomly felt like going on a Taylor rant because she's a genius and deserves it. So yeah.
U got the right interpretation on the phone call scene. That's where it all began, the beef between her and Kim-Kanye. It's not Taylor who wouldn't go back in her old time as country artist as what a lot misinterpreted that line. Killing her old self who was nice person that easily betrayed, manipulated and mind-twisted. reputation era was defending her own reputation against bad reputation about her created by the haters and media. It was the perfect time for her to say her side after she had been through on 2016. LWYMMD as the lead single of rep was iconic MV and the unforgettable come back of an artist in pop music history (according to some critics which I agreed) and of course a lot of record-breaking after its world premiere at MTV VMAs 2017 where everyone was shocked to see the bad Taylor. However, took down by Grammys except pop vocal album category. What a shame if she had no single nomination. Excluding AOTY was like she was still cancelled and they didn't believe her. rep was low-tier album of a lot of critics. Insider said rep was messy album. (Tay made rep in what it was. Over production? It was hot as FIRE like Angry Taylor. Dark theme as cathartic album? Bad Taylor. Messy structure of the tracks? What does it feels like when we are having hard or trouble time? For me rep is a badass album which I love). I recommend you to make whole rep album reaction video. Lover era was a new Taylor. She is not afraid from whoever wanted to stop her way. She made new and different music like The Man, Miss America and the Heartbreak Prince, and etc.
The outfits are various stage tour outfits and in music videos that were in any one of her eras (albums). She was country, and made the transition to pop completely with 1989, then her bad@ss album rep, a totally different sound. In this video particularly playing off what everyone has put her through or called her in the media. Before she released REP, she blacked out all of her social media and uploaded a 3 part video of a snake on her Instagram 💀😂 Love Taylor and everything she hides in her videos, lyrics, speeches, & performances 🔥 her storytelling in folklore & evermore are my personal favorite. Been a fan since my dad got me her debut album long time ago♥️ she is so creative
Of the ones on your list that you haven't done yet, I'd go for The Man, Monologue Song, The Story Of Us, Love Story, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Didn't see it on your list, but Thug Life ft. T Pain is odd but fun.
All the outfits are from different eras she has "9 eras" because she has 9 albums, grey sparkley dress with guitar was Fearless era her second album, ring master was from the red tour etc
This song and the music video are FULL of easter eggs, you will probably have to watch a video explaining it to understand them all, Blondie's brain is fascinating
Taylor has had 9 eras aka 9 studio album releases:
-Taylor Swift (Teardrops on my Guitar/Our Song)
-Fearless (You Belong With Me/Love Story)
-Speak Now (Mine, Back to December)
-Red (I Knew You We’re Trouble, 22)
-1989 (Blank Space/Shake It Off)
-Reputation
-Lover
-Folklore
-Evermore
The mountain of Taylor’s during the bridge consist of outfits from her previous eras, be it outfits from music videos, concerts, or award shows. The Taylor at the end that says “I’d very much like to be excluded from this narrative” is her from the VMAs when Kanye interrupted her speech.
They are eras 😂😂
Question do you consider debut and fearless one and the same era? And folklore and evermore another? Given that even though those are 4 different albums the dressing was/is kinda similar... At least I do conaider them that way...
Debut/fearless share the cowboy boots/sun dresses/ball gowns curly hair though color wise debut was more greens and blues spring(y) were as feraless was more metalic and yellow.

@@inkbery4473 exactly!!! but i still need to learn a loott of stuff about her but i can't wait :D
same here!
Remember, they called her a Snake and she owned it. She wasn't killing her old selves, she was shedding them, like dead skin.
The thing with Taylor is that she's Dramatic and embraces it and we the fans love her for it
Exactly. You got her message, Look What They Made Her Do! Sadly, she's exactly who she needs to be, wiser and less trusting... and not caring what someone else says or thinks. Only what she knows to be true.

Taylor: The moments of my true story on that album are songs like “Delicate,” “New Year’s Day,” “Call It What You Want,” “Dress.”
The one-two punch, bait-and-switch of Reputation is that it was actually a love story.
It was a love story in amongst chaos. All the weaponized sort of metallic battle anthems were what was going on outside.
That was the battle raging on that I could see from the windows, and then there was what was happening inside my world - my newly quiet, cozy world that was happening on my own terms for the first time. . . .
It’s weird, because in some of the worst times of my career, and reputation, dare I say, I had some of the most beautiful times - in my quiet life that I chose to have.
And I had some of the most incredible memories with the friends I now knew cared about me, even if everyone hated me. The bad stuff was really significant and damaging.
But the good stuff will endure. The good lessons - you realize that you can’t just show your life to people.
She got the last word, last laugh, and become THE BIGGEST ARTIST.....look what you made her do!
Dude taylor had a whole a different Era for her every album ... like you could literally tell from her hair and outfits which album or year is it... This video was from her 6th album after she disappeared for like a whole a year she didn't do any interviews or press conferences for reputation album due to which she conveyed everything she wanted to through her videos which is why this video had a lot of Easter eggs every single frame had a new one 🤣😂 still after all these years taylor says that we haven't found all the Easter eggs in this video which is just so crazy to think about...
Taylor has become goofy and happy over time and finally media is talking about her work not about her reputation and love life.
"No explanations, just reputation"
-Taylor Swift
This was the first single Reputation, when we had not yet heard anything from the rest of the album. The video makes references to Kanye and Kim and also to Katy Perry (the car crashing scene). At first we were led to believe that it was an album that would only talk about her reputation and all the songs would sound like this and "...Ready for it?", but when the album came out we realised that it is about a love story that is born in the lowest moment of Taylor's life.

The "I love TS" T-shirts are a reference to a T-shirt Tom Hiddleston wore when they were dating. Right at the beginning, there is a gravestone with the name "Nils Sjoberg", which is the pseudonym she used in the credits of a song by her ex, Calvin Harris (This is What You Came For). When she is in the bathtub, there is a dollar, which represents the dollar she won when a man who assaulted her lost the lawsuit he filed.

Taylor really popularized and trend album releases as Eras.. she really reinvents herself everytime evrry album is different or at least dissimilar toe each other
Even though Taylor may have a “pop” album or a “country” album, those albums will still showcase other genres. Like in “reputation,” she raps on a couple songs, and in a couple of her country albums, there are rock vibes in some of the songs. Plus, each album that covers the same genre will still differentiate sonically within that genre. That is why they are classified as eras. Taylor said she likes to think of each album as mood boards each with different colors and sounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had scents assigned to each album and technology just hasn’t caught up to her genius yet. I really do enjoy your reactions and how you piece everything together. Ty for making Taylor Swift reaction videos!
Search for Her...try to know Her...and You will gonna have the ride into the genius of this century......swallowed by the natural escense of her 💖Love is All She is....cause She is what She Loves !!!!!!
This is one of the most iconic mv of all time. All these are her old eras, or old mv Taylor’s. She is on top and putting an end to the old Taylor, she is taking control. Remember, when she started she was 15-16 yrs old, her persona was sometimes controlled, she was often walked upon. Don’t get me wrong, don’t cross her, but her label told her a lot of what she could and couldn’t do, and she tried to be very nice. She had beef with Katy Perry, but really she is known for going out of her way to be nice, trusting people. NOW, she killed that old Taylor, so she wasn’t going to be walked upon, or taken advantage of, or muffled, or whatever. She was breaking out of the constraints and becoming who she really is. The real Taylor. Yes, she can’t trust them, stabbed her in the back and now she has gotten harder and smarter in the nick of time, she does it all the time. So this has so many Easter eggs……. The dress on the zombie Taylor is the dress she wore in the Out of the Woods music video. The robbing is the streaming agencies that she stood up against and fought for better pay for artists.
Reputation era is iconic. Ready For it….. comes in hard, but it is really a love song. It is also a good video. Reputation as a whole is a love album. This song is not representative of the album but she had to do it. She had to own the snake. So what did she do? She created an entire tour around the snake and grossed the most $ in US history. It was brilliant.
The outfit are the different characters she played in music videos and performances :) I'm pretty sure it's both (so in a way it's kinda also about the different eras). I know for sure that some of them are from music videos at least.
I think reacting to "the it factor: taylor swift" by jasmine zade would be something fun to react to, it really gives a good explanation and goes through a lot of the different eras and the success behind it
Yess I love Jasmine zade, also yes that's such a good idea.
@@leah9159 ahhh same, her videos are the best
Yes!
WOW... Your interpretation is almost perfect for one time watching. You're born for this. This is crazy wow
This music video literally introduced me to her and I had no choice but to stan. Stanning her has been a great life experience. LWYMMD music video is a masterpiece
Saem 🤪🤪🤪😀😀😀😛😛😛😀😀
@Kungkung Rai wbk. it was snubbed because of the hate trend
Your reaction was one of the best reactions I have seen and you were pretty close on your insights into the MV, great job. Taylor usually has a very high-end budget with her MV's, and most time watching the MV clarifies what the song is about especially this one in particular. I had a blast watching your reaction, Thank you
8:50 I've waited all these months to see you reacting to this video clip because I knew your Interpreted would be amazing.
After this I want you to react to more of her Reputation era. Like the videos for Ready for it or Delicate. A album reaction would be great too. Reputation was so different and Look what you made me do her comeback after nearly two years. I'm glad that you got the message behind the she's dead line. She said in an interview that the old Taylor means the version of her who wants to please everyone. That wasn't healthy for her and I'm glad she moved away from it. She talks about it in her Miss Americana documentary. You should react to it too. ;)
Every album had its own era. I think even Folklore and Evermore are different even if the differences are smaller than normal (for her).If we talk in genres she had country (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now) country/pop (Red) pop (1989, Reputation and Lover) and then Folklore and Evermore. But even 1989, Reputation and Lover are totally different. I'd like to see your reaction to every album tbh. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts about her lyrics and sounds. :)
You need to see "bad blood" 🔥
if we haven't asked too much from you already it would've been really nice and insightful of you to react to a breakdown or analysis for this mv, because it show's how much taylor cares and thinks about her music and her career not only on her songs but her music videos too, she creates and treats her albuns as eras on their own, visuals, sounds, even her outfits on the daily are part of the era
Regarding the birdcage, that is what it could symbolize. Or it could be something completely opposite😂. There are so many hidden meanings and Easter eggs that I doubt even Taylor can remember them all.
Yeah 😂 I forget in what interview she said this, but she basically said “it got out of hand” because even though she had a few Easter eggs that she put in the videos, fans started finding new ones, that she didn’t put in intentionally, but that still somehow connected and eventually even she lost track of how many Easter eggs she put in and how many are actually just fan theories.
9 albums but for me I would say 7 eras (she used to release an album every 2 years up until Rep)
Debut, Fearless era - country Taylor
Speak Now era - still country Taylor but I feel like she deserves her own moment since that album was self written
Red era - country/pop
1989 era - pop, like FULL ON super star
*kim/kanye + media drama but also met Joe*
Reputation era - pop/electronic
Lover era - bubblegum pop / first album she owned / was cut short because of covid
Folklore/Evermore era - indie/alternative
Also technically we’re in the Taylor’s Version era too… what a time! I think Speak Now TV is next!
But also anticipating TS 10.
I think she’s in such a good place right now, like maybe she doesn’t feel like she has to “reinvent” herself every album - that pressure isn’t there anymore.
If she wanted to try something new I think a Jazz vibe would be really cool!
This is the commentary I’m here for! Agree with it all, except not sure is SN TV or 1988 TV is next!
@@cmcm4204 she’s hinted at both but since the Shake It Off lawsuit I feel like 1989 is off the table for now.
Yeah they’re all iconic outfits from performances, award shows, and music videos. 💀
This mv had one of the biggest (if not the biggest) budgets in music history. Iconic!!
there's no way I'm ever getting over the budget for this video hum 12 million dollars
No way....
Joseph Kahn never disappoints, btw. 🙌
Taylor doesn’t make music videos; She makes high-budget, short films. The scripts are excellent & they just happen to be more entertaining than some of the actual full-length, star studded movies that are being pushed out of Hollywood every year. 🤣
I really hope you react to “Are you ready for it?” I love that video.
Not to mention that it comes from one of the best albums ever! I feel like you should watch Miss Americana; her documentary to bring you up to speed.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things is also about a fake friend she had. It's just iconic.
And the fake friend is K*anye.
@@janvipatel13 Oh, I thought it was about her toxic female friend.
@ 10:18 Karma is one of Taylor's tracklist off of her highly anticipated new album "MIDNIGHTS"
💜🙏💜
The costumes are a combo of music videos, performances and red carpets there’s a really great video cataloging pretty much them all by Sara on youtube
5:34 - Those aren't just her in the outfits from earlier in the video. There's also her from videos she did years ago. :)
The one in a glasses and pajama bottoms is from "You Belong With Me"
IT IS THE DIFFERENT ERAS
The snake things is also a reference to her being born of 13th December, in the Year Of The Snake....She uses the number 13 all the time too.
This is the most accurate “guessing” from a first reaction of Look What You Made Me Do that I’ve ever seen.
Oh god i remember her blackout from social media and the day of the comeback and this MV, the internet went WILD and so did I 🛐 she's huge
On point, thank you for respecting her and giving her such a remarkable review
What most people don't even notice, but myself and my friend did because we are big, MJ fans as well, she almost gives a nod to a mj in a lot of her videos
I have it on my Twitter, the side-by-side images of Taylor's, and MJ's videos, just a shot like the zombie, her in a white futuristic room in a black outfit... there are so many
Love your reaction and insight.
This is the third or fourth video of his I've watched so far. I love seeing other grown men nerd out on Taylor Swift as much as I do.
I love how accurately he guesses everything in each video
I've watched a lot of reactions to this and yours was great for the summing up at the end. You got it!
If you know the "i don't trust nobody and nobody trust me" the "ha ha ha ha" backing vocal are the same backing vocal from her song called "innocent" that song was about the 2009 VMA incident
Hey man awesome reaction! Glad you got around to this music video, it shows how versatile she. If you want to be blown away by a song off of her Reputation Era, please react to her music video "...Ready for it?". It's the first track off the album and aside from the fact that the special effects in it are insanely good, the song is... well let's just say your definitely not ready for it lol. Looking forward to your future Taylor reactions! :-)
I saw your reaction to the explanation of LWYMMD references. One thing missing about the Stream CO robbery is that when she pulled off her music from streaming because she didn't agree how underpaid the artists were, she was accused of being calculating and wanting to launch her own streaming plataform. She appears burning money because that was never the point for her, but she did end up making streaming plataforms pay artists better.
She’s an ICON
I'm a Swiftie and I have to say I'm so proud of you seeing everything that Taylor is, how smart she is, and amazing the world she created is. SO proud boy
Taylor Swift is a freaking genius that’s all I have to say
Please React to "Call it what you want" from Reputation, Taylor's performance at AMA award, and actually, the whole Reputation album ! 😍 this era is unforgettable.
this music video was a cultural reset. Taylor really came back stronger than a 90's trend.
I'm binge watching all of your Taylor swift reactions right now and loving them. You really try to understand every part of her. You make them so interesting!!
You should watch a video explaining all the easter eggs of the mv. Honestly, the list is endless. She's put so much thought and work in making this. Reputation was the most iconic comeback.
Also, taylor swift invented eras. I said what I said.
You should also watch Jasmine Zade's (the same person who made the dark side of one direction) series she makes explaining the "it factor" for successful artists. She's done harry styles and taylor swift. And both of them are so nicely done and informative (like all of her videos).
Loved this one. I really love your channel being a directioner and a swiftie. Also appreciate the 5sos content. Have a nice day/night!
swifties in the comments pointing out every easter egg + explanations- SO PROUD OF YALL
What you were saying about the bird cage reminds me a lot of what Taylor was saying about her song “Mirrorball” from folklore!
No one says F*#k you better than TS thru her songs!! And I am so glad that after all she endured, after being wronged by so many people, now in 2023 she is on top of the world and the biggest star on the planet!! No revenge is sweeter than huge success!! Wish her even greater success going forward!! 👊
There’s several “decoding” videos on what every scene represents. Even if you don’t react to them, you should watch a couple because there’s a whole lot of subliminal and explicit meanings in this video.
Ready for it is another one with call backs that is really good.
I just have to say your commitment to satisfying your videos is incredible, thank you for yet another Taylor Swift reaction! ☺️ So many references and call backs to previous eras and music videos so this was just a mind blowing comeback! greatly appreciated!
She's the boss and
🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤❤❤
I started being a Swiftie since this video. I like a lot your reaction! You are so smart! 👏🏻👏🏻
*Taylor is the Queen of Eras, she really knows how to reinvent herself and change her sound in every album. Reputation is needed to be made which is made from her lowest and IS THE BEST COMEBACK ON HISTORY. It may have been seen by others as revenge or a clap back to hater but reputation is a love album at it's core, with her singing songs about her newfound lover, her refuge in the midst of all chaos, drama, as the world tries to cancel her 😭*
The most iconic, epic, comeback that shook the world. The grammy be damned for all I care💅
You have to check out REPUTATION!
I don't even have words. She created a masterpiece (obviously) but it was revolutionary!!!!!!!
This music video Haas so many meaning . Genius
So far, you're the best commentator. Not fake. But genuine opinion.. and I love that. I became a fan after watching your reaction with the All Too Well Movie. Keep it up! Keep it real! 💙🇵🇭
YES FINALLY
Thanks for this!!! You did amazingly well for someone who doesn’t have that much backstory to Taylor. This video is ICONIC
Hands down best music video literally watch it all the time it’s a work of art. Literal perfection and so is the song. 🙌 I’m sure someone already gave you the answer to this but basically all those other “Taylors” are all from her iconic outfits/music video looks/moments/etc. and she’s basically saying the old Taylor is dead I’m in control of my own image and my own future and etc. you get it! Lol
Basically at the end you just described This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things and Call It What You Want, your mind... 👁️👄👁️
hii! first i wanted to say that i love your reactions! i think you should watch a video explaining all the references so you can understand this mv and also this whole era better
You really should do a reaction video of clips explaining all the easter eggs in this MV. there are so many to cover its so amazing.
The outfits are from her entire career. Now she doesn't have that many eras (as in each dress a different era) about 7. (debut and fearless, speak now, red, 1989, reputation, lover, folklore and evermore) but she did have many dresses representing a specific era. That is why there are so many.
1989!!!! Reputation!!! Lover!!!!
Check out all her eras
Each n every era is so different n unique in its own way.
COUNTRY :-
Taylor Swift (slf titled)
Fearless
Speak now
Red
POP:-
1989
Lover
Reputation
ALTERNATIVE :-
Folklore
Evermore
This music video is everything !
I started listening to Taylor after Reputation came out. I kind of envy all the fans who didn't hear from her forever, and then got hit with this album. It must have been such an experience: a blow and a justification, all wrapped into one.
highly recommend "Ready for it" it's also from the reputation Album!
A lot of this video is about how the music industry steals from the musicians and how they treat them. This video was done just after she re-released all her music so she would have ownership of her own songs
I loved the shock face during the Taylor Swift on top of Taylor Swifts heap. Hahahaha
THAT CONCLUSION ABOUT THE SONG IS LIT! 💯👏❤️
You need to watch Miss Americana, it's on Netflix.
There she show and explain a lot of things. It's really good
Anyway putting aside her massive project of re-recording her old stuff, she has a total of 9 eras/albums. Each of them has big hits.
List of her albums and some of the hits you might've heard:
Self-titled 🤠 (Our Song, Teardrops on My Guitar, Tim McGraw)
Fearless 👑 (Love Story, You Belong With Me)
Speak Now 🌷(Back To December, Mean)
Red 💔(I Knew You Were Trouble, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Red)
1989 😎(Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dream, Out of The Woods)
Reputation 🖤(Look What You Made Me Do, Endgame, ...Ready For It?)
Lover 🌈(ME!, Lover)
Folklore
Evermore🍁
Love the reaction...
I never used to be a fan of this song but I love it now. It's different from her usual style but the lyrics are awesome as usual and it's catchy. But the thing I love most is the music video and all the symbolism and costume changes, truly phenomenal how much work was clearly put into it, and the dancing was awesome too.
Yes she did
it’s so fun to watch him glue all the pieces together
The album Reputation is excellent and is more than people think. It is about love during the worst time for her, and not all the album is a response to K&K. You should give it a try; to this day is my favorite pop album of hers.
I mean, Taylor‘s my favorite artist. And those reaction videos are deeply touching. But can we just hold on a second and focus on Suffi‘s cuteness? 🤍
This is actually about 5 eras, from her first 5 albums. Her debut self-titled album was totally country, mainly about a young girl learning to navigate her way through the world. Her second album Fearless was about teenage heartbreak and love fantasies, and has a lot of themes of being a princess in a fairy tale. Her third album Speak Now was a lot of country but some pop, and was about speaking up for what you want and not letting opportunities pass you by. Her fourth album, Red (my personal favorite) was about entering your 20's and experiencing lots more heartbreak and learning more about what love is, the good and the bad. Her fifth album, 1989, was her first completely pop album, and had more themes of learning lessons about love as a twentysomething in New York. All of these albums were well loved until a little after 1989's release when people started hating on her, and so she released reputation (probably tied with Folklore as my second favorite album of hers), and it was all about shocking people with a completely different, dark side of her that nobody would have expected. But what I love about the album is even through all the songs about betrayal, looking closely at the album beyond the surface, reputation is still about love, but just discovering who your real friends are. Just look at the lyrics to Delicate or Call it What You Want.
Anyway I know nobody asked for this comment and probably no one will ever read it or care it exists, but I'm going to post it anyway because I randomly felt like going on a Taylor rant because she's a genius and deserves it. So yeah.
I love how confused he was in some parts
I always love your interpretation of her music and music videos! Reputation is the album that turned me into a fan 🖤
U got the right interpretation on the phone call scene. That's where it all began, the beef between her and Kim-Kanye.
It's not Taylor who wouldn't go back in her old time as country artist as what a lot misinterpreted that line.
Killing her old self who was nice person that easily betrayed, manipulated and mind-twisted.
reputation era was defending her own reputation against bad reputation about her created by the haters and media. It was the perfect time for her to say her side after she had been through on 2016.
LWYMMD as the lead single of rep was iconic MV and the unforgettable come back of an artist in pop music history (according to some critics which I agreed) and of course a lot of record-breaking after its world premiere at MTV VMAs 2017 where everyone was shocked to see the bad Taylor.
However, took down by Grammys except pop vocal album category. What a shame if she had no single nomination. Excluding AOTY was like she was still cancelled and they didn't believe her. rep was low-tier album of a lot of critics. Insider said rep was messy album.
(Tay made rep in what it was. Over production? It was hot as FIRE like Angry Taylor. Dark theme as cathartic album? Bad Taylor. Messy structure of the tracks? What does it feels like when we are having hard or trouble time? For me rep is a badass album which I love).
I recommend you to make whole rep album reaction video.
Lover era was a new Taylor. She is not afraid from whoever wanted to stop her way. She made new and different music like The Man, Miss America and the Heartbreak Prince, and etc.
The outfits are various stage tour outfits and in music videos that were in any one of her eras (albums). She was country, and made the transition to pop completely with 1989, then her bad@ss album rep, a totally different sound. In this video particularly playing off what everyone has put her through or called her in the media. Before she released REP, she blacked out all of her social media and uploaded a 3 part video of a snake on her Instagram 💀😂 Love Taylor and everything she hides in her videos, lyrics, speeches, & performances 🔥 her storytelling in folklore & evermore are my personal favorite. Been a fan since my dad got me her debut album long time ago♥️ she is so creative
Of the ones on your list that you haven't done yet, I'd go for The Man, Monologue Song, The Story Of Us, Love Story, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Didn't see it on your list, but Thug Life ft. T Pain is odd but fun.
All the outfits are from different eras she has "9 eras" because she has 9 albums, grey sparkley dress with guitar was Fearless era her second album, ring master was from the red tour etc
The part at the end where all of her old selves are talking is so funny!
This song and the music video are FULL of easter eggs, you will probably have to watch a video explaining it to understand them all, Blondie's brain is fascinating
Great reaction!our queen Tay is the boss!!!!
That music video is literally new definition of word Fierce
