Thank you!!! Also, is anyone else a little teary-eyed?
Tania Marteleira Totally!
Tania Marteleira Yep!
I was very teary when watching this! I loved it. It was very much needed to make something like this about them.
i am sobbing
Love this! So proud of my girls. They have come so far. Any "fan" who calls them a sell-out isn't really a fan. Tegan and Sara deserve all the success in the world!
PS: You can totally see me at 8:08 on the right side in a grey t-shirt :)
As mean and not fair those comments were, I empathize with people mourning an era of tegan and sara as well as fearing their place in their fan base, feeling comfortable and a sense of community, would be gone
hey I see you!
So so glad this documentary was made. I think a lot of people didn't realize that Tegan and Sara actually read the terrible things they said about them. Real fans would never go against these talented and amazing musicians. Also, the Oakland show was one of the best concerts I've attended. So proud to be part of this documentary (I was in the crowd shots!) about my favorite people in the world!
I will always be so damn proud of you Tegan and Sara. Every step of this way I have been on your side, as you grew as artists I grew as a person with your help. I remember crying when I found out you were nominated for an Oscar and crying even more when you were going to perform. Taylor was such an accomplishment and Katy Perry was even bigger. I was so overwhelmed with emotions because I was so happy that so many people out there were gonna feel the words to this music that has saved me time and time again. I was happy that this newer generation of lgbt youth was gonna be able to connect to you the way I did. I feel almost like a proud parent or brother. I want you to know that I will be with you for as long as you will have me! Thank you for everything and here's to the next album. Love you!!
Watch our mini-doc about Tegan and Sara and their uncommon relationship with their fans:
Who are they?
Atavistic By Nature they are and indie rock/indie pop girl group..... Nobody of great importance
Actually, Tegan and Sara are great!
***** I actually know who they are My teenage daughters listen to them to no end they are huge fans of theirs.... I say no one of any importance cause it is my opinion listening to them everyday over and over and over again...... I wasn't meaning to offend anyone by it so if you took it personal sorry to you......... and yes unlike others artists they are more talented...... therefore this is why I stick with rock instead of pop
Awww our babies have come so far!! Love Tegan and Sara xxxx
So many great points, especially about being criticized for selling out. More power and success to them!
Thank you so so much Tegan and Sara, we love you!!
Thank you. For everything. This community... this world... we wouldn't be the same without you.
Beautiful, I'm a Tegan and Sara fan for ever, no matter what it's going on, I will always be with you guys. Love you for ever!
I'm so proud of their whole journey. Stay true to yourself, and the sky is the limit.
Thank you Tegan and Sara❤
I love them so much. So down to earth, sweet, funny women. I just adore them and am appreciative of all they've brought to my life.
Every time I see them in an interview i'm reminded why I love them so much. They have a certain way of being that makes you just want to get to know them and be friends. I can't wait for their next album. Love them!
Completely agree with what Tegan is saying! I feel some diehard fans feel TOO much of a connection in terms of thinking they "own" them and the sense that they don't want their favorite artists to get big and be successful because they will lose a special connection with them. Of course this is true but like they said, they need to push themselves and at the end of the day - their responsibility is making music. Not catering to specific fan bases with specific taste.
I have been waiting for what feels FOREVER for this and this just BLEW OUT my expectations.
Tell it Tegan. Tell it. I love you and Sara and don't ever change. "You would take me anywhere"....
That's right.
They're not sellouts! They are the best!!!
I never went to one of their shows... It's so sad I'm still 15 and I live in reunion island, a place they will never come to :/ Sometimes I go to France but when they come I'm stuck on my island at high school. I wish I could move in canada when I grow older
I can't believe people would be so mean just because they're getting more & more successful. I stand behind Tegan and Sara 100% no matter how successful they get because they're great, not because of the amount of success they have.
THANK YOU!! I was just thinking about this today. I've been listening to their albums non-stop and it's unbelievable how much I can relate to every single one of their albums. I feel like I've grown up listening to them but they have grown up as well. I am grateful and PROUD to be a T&S fan and never feel like I can out-grow their music but instead have them with me in my journey.
Thank you guys so much for everything you do and represent. Whatever you choose to do in your career you will always have my support. I couldn't imagine life without you guys in it. We all love you guys so so much.
my dad would say that they're not the same now but they are and they haven't changed. yeah, their music changed but it always has changed. listen to their albums. they are all different. Tegan and Sara are still Tegan and Sara. I'm glad their having success. They deserve it. This documentary was very much needed. I feel as if it cleared up the fuss about them and their fans and clears up the fact that they aren't sell outs.
I feel so emotional and proud.
I'm glad they covered this, they're not selling out, they're spreading out. Wouldn't you want everyone to share the joy and happiness of their beautiful music. Yes its a new genre, but its still cool. And if you dont like it then whatever. Theyre still awesome role models. You're not a real fan if you think these kind of things. I miss the mailbox though, I wish they had it at the con x.
So sweet! I want a postcard from Tegan and Sara!
You guys are so amazing and inspiring! If you had never gone in a different direction with your music, I would have never known you existed (I discovered your band from an episode of Glee), and I would have never decided to try and pursue my dream of joining the music industry. Thank you guys so much for the music you make, it's helped me get through so many hard times, and whatever mood I'm in, I can always find a Tegan & Sara song that reflects that.
Thank you so, so much!
truly love these wonderful women, they're so sweet & genuine & I'm glad that I can value them as role models
Love you Tegan and Sara. Thank you for everything! :)
I'm so proud of you girls, you're an inspiration. Keep moving forward.. I hope we can meet soon. Thanks for everything. 💜 I love you girls.
tegan and sara deserve the world, they are so warm-hearted and kind! I really think that these fans who call them a sell-out are a bit scared of losing them to the big mainstream pop world. tegan and sara gave all of us a small save place, a familiar atmosphere and now these people think they lose this kind of feeling when they go to big concerts. but you should know for sure that this never gonna happen because tegan and sara are such loyal and amazing role models! thank u
This is so beautiful💕
I found out about Tegan and Sara from The LEGO Movie. Awesome people and so happy and inspired by their success :D
Aww i love them so much!
i love you so much tegan and sara!
That was great. Thank youuuuuuu
just know about them and I find them very awesome especially their song it make me feel safe by listening to it and I'm able to find happiness through some of their song
THANK YOU TEGAN for saying what I always say the music industry makes you feel bad for success! AMENNN!
this is an important band
I think the sellout thing with the fans (or "fans") is mostly not really directed at being successful but at some seeming compromises, shifting, some integrity sacrifice the artist is perceived to had made /make in order to get to more success. So this is not just in the music industry. At least that's how i see it (but yeah, no doubt people can just be hating on others's success). But i also think (i can be wrong) this is not the chase with Tegan and Sara who (still) do things by Their own rhythm and are still the down to earth artists. I'm a big fan of theirs and i wish them all the best and that they keep delighting us with their music, and clips like this, and so on :) Much love from Romania.
Love them so much
i was supposed to be i. this video but when they asked me how dose tegan and sara inspire you i just flipping froze i was shaking so bad and then i was so disappointed that i couldn't say how i really felt about them. i love them with everything ugh😢😍💙💜❤
I love them so much
Thank you Tegan Sara♥
You are Sunshine in my life.
Just be true to who you are
You teach me everything.Believe and be Brave♥
:') Thank you, Tegan and Sara.
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!
I really love Tegan and Sara
I can't watch too much of their stuff or I just get sad that I can't be with Tegan. Lol. Ugh, unrequited love is the worst... But still kind of awesome...
My heart hurts when Tegan say; am a sellout.!!!😩😩😥 Tegan and Sara "fans" got to stop thinking about themselves and more in Tegan and Sara !!!😢😢😢
I honestly it will never bother me who u work with or what new changes u make, I'm happy if your happy, and if making music and working with Taylor Swift or Katy Perry makes u happy than go for it just know I am all in with you!!!!
that man at the begining and end has such a beautifull face and eyes ...how pretty
+oumaima ghoul sameone tell me his Name pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.
They weren't real fans if they got that mean! They should be happy at their success!
Thank you so much for everything. You saved my life, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. Before I found Tegan and Sara I felt desperate and like I had nothing to live for. You helped me get through the darkest of times, helped me through the loss of my parents, gave me the courage to come out and to finally be proud of who I am. The fan community is amazing and I'm so proud of you guys and what you've achieved - Taylor Swift, 3 Junos, Katy Perry, Oscars...I adore you and you have my heart and soul. I'll always have your back, forever a fan. I hope to finally meet you in 2016 so I can thank you in person. Love you always Xoxo - TnS MOM
Tegan went in lmfao
"this is the only industry i could think of right now where people are criticized for success."
WOW! absolutely no perspective. i like their band. but i think they need more exposure to the world.
IS FOREVER CRYING
What's the song at the beginning called?
The more successful T & S are, the further their music will be able to reach out to people in small towns and cities or even countries (looking at you Russia) who don't necessarily have positive LGBTQ role models. I consider myself to be lucky growing up in the Melissa, Indigo Girls, Ferron era where you found a safe place in their music and you identified with every lyric of every song, because even when you were alone, you were never really alone.
She has been to 85 shows? That's a lot, and I would imagine that Tegan and Sara shows are expensive, especially recently as they have gained a lot more popularity.
I met her at a show in Minneapolis! She's the greatest.
Haha at the end of that run of shows, in Honolulu, was my 100th show. That was definitely one for the books.
Why they didn't bring a mailbox to Hungary this year? :( I think that's an amazing idea and I'd love to write something to them.
What's the song at the beginning?
I mean does really people think that they were going down???
THEY PERFORM ON THE FREAKING OSCARS
what are name of all the songs ?
I think they're gonna eventually disappear if they still going in the pop-start direction which is a bad thing; they have helped me to accept myself and know myself better.
I don't. Because t&s always put a lot into their music.
It's nice to see this vid after watching an interview where Tegan almost made it sound like she doesn't like the personal relationship with fans, and would prefer they just focus on the music. Not gonna lie, I'm a little confused ...
What is the song at 0:41 ??
did she say hillary swift? 3:22
love you guys like some soul fam.. haters gon' hate.
Keepin it real just got queered-- TnS style
Totally random comment and 3 years later, but I think Sara got a hickey on her neck
:,)
They are so far from seeing the point. If you measure success by how many faces are staring at you while you play or how much money is in your bank account- I feel sorry for you. Your music was never anything like Katy Perry or Taylor Swift (and still really isn't) but it took a dramatic turn. If that's all you and your self/music evolving than more power to you. But it's so obviously much more than that, you're making a conscious effort to appeal to a different crowd and that alienates a lot of your longtime fans. I'm not saying I don't like the new stuff, I'm just explaining how you're missing the point entirely. P.s. It's really not helpful or kind to villainize genuine fans who have criticisms or opinions. Albeit, people like "your dead to me" chick are obviously going too far.
Ik this was posted a year ago, but I completely agree w/ you. I still like them and their music- don't get me wrong. But it seems as if recently they have been so indulged in becoming mainstream, getting more attention, and how much more they're making. They just don't seem as genuine as they used to. Plus I didn't like that they generalized themselves with middle class people. It's not like they were suffering financially as commoners usually do, and have to rake out money just to even see their show or buy their merch. Idk if just got on my nerves. I'll always be a fan of their older music, just not really their new music or persona, really. They just seem less humbled, and don't even do the banters anymore bc they're "mainstream".
I know their gay but damn!!!!!
