I need to go and buy some snacks for this :)) we're treating this as a movie tonight ❤🎉
awww this comment really made me smile
the fact that augustine calls it “summer love” but james calls it “summer thing” is just something that i simply cannot handle
wow thanks for this
Thanks for that analogy, now I'm mad at James all over again 😑
Yes 😭
Right? It's like, dang, he can't treat either one of them with any respect!
same with how james is “only 17 and doesn’t know anything” but betty knew EVERYTHING then
Quick way to differentiate the aesthetic of these 2 albums
Folklore:🍃🌿🌱🌊🌾🍵🌫️🪩🩶
Evermore: 🤎❄️🍂🍁☕️🪵🐿️🌨️
Basically folklore represents spring and summer (mainly a gloomy cottage core summer not the 1989 type summer)
And evermore represents the remaining seasons fall and winter.
Some people interpret it differently like some people have a difficult time understanding why folklore represents spring when it’s so gloomy but it’s mainly because the photos are in black and white, in color they’re very green and naturey, along with the green dress she sometimes wears during folklore on her eras tour + the green plants in the cardigan music video. But some interpret it as a end of summer-fall album
Folklore is winter for me, with all the grey and white
But evermore is def fall
@@warcatfurever101writeroffanfic it’s just the filter tbh… everything about the visuals is so nature Esq, from the photoshoot, your visuals, Grammys flower dress, cardigan Mv, Spotify visuals (I think they’re in color too if I’m not wrong?) plus the 1, seven, and invisible string sound super spring, vs august, my tears ricochet, the last great American dynasty, and Mirrorball feel super summery. Not modern day beachy 1989 beach ball type summer but sitting on the beach alone watching the waves crash against the shore type summer
@@zontzooit2415 thanks for the explanation! Even though I see it differently, thanks for letting me know why it is is associated with spring and summer.
Yes exactly this! Folklore for me represents the first half of the year and Evermore the second half. Also imo Folklore is symbolized by the fairy while Evermore's symbol is the witch (which fits in with the willow and fall narrative)
Your voice joining in their "Exile" Duet sounds so Gorgeous You Lowkey became a part of the song TBH, and it sounds great.
This is the best folklore first listen reaction I have ever seen. It took me months to figure out the meanings of all these song and you picked up on everything so quickly
Well she was reading the genius excerpts bruh lol
I know right? this girl is great
@@Hey_Jamie BRUH she gets a small description of what the song is about and then she further talks about her thoughts and feelings based on that
August 2:47 - Get in the car
Betty 2:47 - James get in
Betty 3:13 - Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
Cardigan 3:13 - You'd be standing in my front porch light
So cleverrrr
Betty- (James' Pov) "I'm only 17. I don't know anything."
Cardigan- (Betty's Pov) "'Cause I knew everything when I was young."
not the fact that 2+4+7=13
Oh my fuck she is just too much. So smart of you to notice this!
-Cardigan (Betty’s pov): to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed
-Betty (James’ pov): standing in your cardigan, kissing in my car again
-Cardigan: I knew you dancing in your Levi’s drunk under a streetlight
-Betty: stopped at a streetlight, you know I miss you..
-Cardigan: I knew you’d miss me once the trill expired
Folklore and evermore are TOPPP POETRY from Taylor
i love reactions like this where they don't just simply listen but where they actually take the time to understand and discuss what the songs are about! 💙
also you're really pretty, I'm in love with your makeup 😢
Taylor Swift's lower register triggers something so feral in me!
The goosebumps, the serotonin...it's literally perfection.
In your discussion of illicit affairs you talked about the parallels to addiction. You will find Taylor often refers to love as her drug of choice though she has also talked about using alcohol as a coping mechanism. Taylor also likes to compare being in a toxic relationship to being addicted to a person.
the "and then it was bought by me" part in tlgad gives me chills every time.
Impossible not to have chills !
I think you’d love the Folklore Long Pond Studio Sessions, Taylor and her producers play live and discuss the meaning of the songs. Even if you don’t react to it, I think you’d have a great time just watching it.
I really feel like this album is in a realm of its own. Subtle storytelling, escapism and introspection, it’s almost like Taylor welcoming us into her own world, like an hour of confessionals, honest conversations, and realising that we’re all alike, in that sense. It’s incredibly emotional, but not always overt and clear. It’s subdued and honest, not asking us to cry for it, but welcoming us to if we want to. It’s just such an experience to wander through, as Taylor holds our hand to guide us.
Album of the year for a reason
Tbh this album bring me back as a swiftie again cuz the last album I've heard from her is Speak Now. folklore and Speak Now are my top 2
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS 😭 i loved your red reaction, the way you talk about music is so insightful and im absolutely obsessed with the way that you really delve deep into the lyrics and the meanings behind each song!!
I got Exile as a surprise song on tour, it was amazing. There are videos of it online and its just her and her piano, think you would really like that version.
You know you didnt have to slay so hard, and yet you did it again. Your make up looks stunning.
The butterfly necklace you mentioned would be perfect for the Lover album if you ever react to that 🦋
oooh thank you for telling me ! I will keep that in mind :D
@@FernStoneI wouldn’t rush to do that one though lol. It’s got some of her highest highs, but all of her worst worsts lol
@@Hey_Jamieno it hasn’t what
@@Hey_Jamieagree tbh, daylight is top 3 taylor but iftye is like bottom 3 taylor
@@ofcgirl1439you pick that over ME! For bottom tier? Lol
OMGGGG but your harmonies on “exile” were so stunning!!
I have a weird thing to say: at one moment i got chills on my forehead???? ANYWAY I just have to say, this might be one of my favorite videos on youtube. I'm going to write an essay here because it just feels right so scroll away if that's not your jam. When I came across this video, I almost didn't click because of its length. But hey it's folklore, I had to. I have seen so many reactions to this album, that almost every detail pointed out by each youtuber is imprinted in my memory; I thought I knew what these songs meant, the full weight each lyric held. I was so happy to be wrong throughout the duration of this video. I feel that this video captures the answer to why people watch so many music reactions and still click on more from different creators. It is this quest to find someone who is truly enthusiastic about the music but still honest and authentic with their opinions, someone who is open to its contents, who feels every feeling with patience, who digs deep into its intricacies, who weaves new meanings out of the words, who shares fresh perspectives and is receptive to the music itself. This is it. It comes across like sharing new music with a friend and they really appreciate it for what it is and then form a connection themselves. The editing is stellar and tight. Also your harmonies and adlibs were so so beautiful! I do that all time but they are way less melodious than yours lol. I loved your insights and the 'random' things you pointed out. When you said that we are here for your opinions and thoughts so you must say your piece, you were completely right! Thankyou for putting this beautiful, joyful video out. Idk why I'm getting emotional; the best way I can explain it is when such an emotionally intelligent and perceptive person explores this thing you love, and doesn't hold back with expressing what they felt, you see it in a different light too and find new ways to love it all over again.
this is so meaningful, I read every word!! so glad you enjoyed my video and comments like this keep me motivated and put a big smile on my face. I just want to make people feel good, you know? xx
Already waiting for the next one. So glad you liked Folklore so much!
LOVED this reaction!! your voice sounds beautiful over the tracks and with hers! so glad you liked this album, it's one of my favorites of all time!
DYING FOR THIS REACTION!!!!! Thank u Fern!!!! One of my favorite albums of all time 💗
This is possibly the best album reaction I've ever seen. Thank you! I strongly recommend watching "The Long Pond Sessions" just for your own enjoyment. Seeing Taylor and her collaborators playing the music in an intimate acoustic setting elevates appreciation to a new level, and it's fun to hear them talk about each song. I can't choose a favorite between folklore and evermore - I think of them together as my favorite - but I heard folklore first and it is the one that made me into a full-fledged swifty.
A therapist also reacted to it that it can as well be about addiction.
oooh that is fantastic to know
thank youuuu and looking forward to the next one ❤❤❤❤❤
That was a fun stream! I was able to see the premiere and participated for the first time and really had a blast, thank you for this wonderful reaction!
awww had a lot of fun at the premiere :D
Omg I am literally dying in anticipation for your next Taylor reaction
I’m obsessed with the way you react to music
i really love watching you break down the songs and your interpretations of them!
Your talking and singing is so soothing 🩷 so excited for the taylor reactions 🥰
Such a beautiful and in-depth reaction. Thank you!
Also, it sounds amazing when your vocals mix in with the songs! When i wasn't looking directly at the screen, I'd think, 'oh, i don't remember that part,' then realize it was you melding so perfectly with the song 💜💜
I swear, this album brings something inside of me, it's just so spiritual, like a full openness and transparency in a most beautiful way, every song got a special place in my heart, I can't get enough of it, really, her voice sounds so magical, I'm in a new whole journey with every single track
I can't even explain, how much this album means to me, but it means a lot
Omg!! Another one so soon!! Can't wait!!
your makeup is AMAZING omg!!! ❤❤
wow, youtube randomly recommended me this video on my feed and I put it on while doing some work and I gotta say I'm captivated by your personality, you're really fun and upbeat. keep up the great work gurl, you just won a lifelong suscriber :)
This is my anxiety album 😆 anytime I feel my heart start racing for no reason I put it on and it takes it away every time.
FERN!!! This makes me SO happy! Oh my god!
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THE NOTIFICATION BUT I FELL SLEEP, anyways I'm watching it now! 💗 just gonna grab some M&Ms
Thank you for all your hard work on this album and video!!!! I appreciate it so so much. I've been watching your channel for years now and I love your words, intelect, and opinions on music! Thank you, Fern!!!
you really have !! I know you have because I recognise your name. Thank you so very much for watching
I really enjoyed this video, it's not just about listening, but also about deep diving and really familiariazing and knowing every tracks, as well as relating to it in such ways.. I really loved it.. I recommend doing the sister album of Folklore which is EVERMORE❤️
Absolutely loving the content this month! You’re the best Fern 🙏💙
loveeee your reactions to taylor ❤ please keep them going next must be evermore!
So excited for more 🫶🏽 my new fave reactor 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
you look really really good ! Love the eyeliner so much its so unique
I love your reaction sm I feel like you can instantly understand the genius behind this album and the beautiful instrument and lyrics
I enjoyed this immensely, fern! I hope you will do more Taylor in the future!
Oh God
Been waiting for this for forever
When you said “please be good” before my tears ricochet, I was SO excited to see your reaction! top 3 taylor song for me
Omg I’ve been waiting for this 😩😩😩😩😩 you’re the best
Absolutely loved this reaction!! I would love an Evermore one!
such a nice video, i really love your reactions!!!
love your reaction! interesting commentary and observations
Your singing during exile was too good! Please, would love to hear a cover where you add your vocals!
Omg i love when you sing along to the "someones daughter, someones mother" on epiphany. It sounded angelic❤️
I always have the best time listening to you explain what goes on in your head 🦋
Pls react to the long pond session, it explains how she wrote and the story behind every song.
yessss, im ready
Really enjoyed your review.. you know your music❤️
your harmonies on exile were top tier fr, also i really agree with you wishing it was only her singing
i just wish we had both versions 😢
Find the video of her playing it on tour! The entire stadium went silent to hear her sing it solo for the first time. I constantly go back to it cause I get chills every time. I hope we get a recorded version, cause as much as I love the album version, her voice is magical on Bon Ivers part
Taylor Swift has never been married. Joe Alwyn was her boyfriend for 7(?) years
Just wanted to say I love the adlibs you add when you’re listening to the songs ❤. Also I think one of the great things about Taylor’s songs is there doesn’t have to be just one interpretation of them. For example with Illicit Affairs it could be about a relationship or addiction. For me personally, as someone who is recovering from an eating disorder, the song feels reminiscent of my experience with my ED, as it’s also addictive.
Your vocal layering on these songs was gorgeous
watched this in one go! love you takes
Im hyped
I got three tarantulas the other day and named them Augustine, James, and Betty 😭 so excited to hear your thoughts on the album!
awesome reaction!! I think you would enjoy watching her perform these songs live in the Long Pond Studio Sessions on Disney+
I love folklore
Hiiiiii! New here, but I’ve subscribed and liked your video. I really liked your reaction as well, so I’m considering Patreon!! I am currently on your Illicit Affairs song reaction, and wanted to add a layer to your interpretation- while I do think that Taylor was referring specifically to going outside of a relationship, she does liken the ‘affair’ to an addition of sorts.
Yay thank you again for your hard work!
Also I don't know if you knew this but Taylor always does something with her track 5's specifically...I won't say what it is but I thought you'd be intrigued by that lol
ooooh my sister may have already told me , but only like yesterday ... and I think ive forgotten ... something like they're always the hard hitters or something ? I honestly can't remember hahaha !
@@FernStone Yes hard hitters and sometimes the saddest and most personal.
My tears richochet can be interpreted as a divorce/broken relationship. So what u thought is fine. Tay herself said during the long pond sessions it can be equated to that.
aww thats really validating and Taylors songs all seem to have so many meanings !
This video has make my week 😼
i love your roaring twenties costume! you're so beautiful!
been loving your reaction to taytay :)
I had never thought of the addiction parallels in Illicit Affairs but I think you’re 100% right. Like even if that isn’t what Taylor was writing about, it’s still so accurate.
The swifties gonna eat this content up, yes ma'am
😂💯 got that right!
This was great. First time watching you. Hit subscribe! Hoping you do evermore next (if you haven’t already - I have to check). Background - Joe & Taylor were not married but they lived together. He was an amazing muse for her - most of Reputation, Lover, some songs on folklore (like Invisible String, Peace,etc.) never mind co-writing some of the best songs on folklore and evermore.
After hearing you say Joe was her husband im so glad you didnt start with Evermore, because Champagne Problems would have never made sense haha
Hemosa reaccion 🌼 queremos evermoreeee🤎
Not you restarting Seven 4 times 😂 relatable af
Can't wait for your reaction to evermore, the songwriting is even more stunning
Ohhh I'm really excited for this one! I don't mean to apply pressure, just asking. Are you going to do the rest of Red or will you end it there and move on to the resr of the discography?
I will do the rest !! After evermore. But will refresh myself with Red in my own time before doing them 😍
@@FernStonethats a really good idea!! Im looking forward to all urs reactions
Cant wait for your reaction to Evermore, Miss Americana doco and Reputation tour movie. Love your insights. 💖
interesting takes on illicit affairs about addiction, ive never thought about that but it makes sense!
came straight from your red reaction to this! you pick up on taylor potentially singing about women and i think that reading queerness in her art adds so much depth to it, there’s such a pervasive narrative that taylor must be straight but i really encourage you to go into evermore with a really open mind (also it adds so much humour to willow) i’m still closeted to my family and peace and seven resonate so deeply with me
also your voice gives such ethereal ethel cainesque harmonies ❤
Hi fern. Hope ur feeling a bit better! 🫂 ❤was wondering will u be continuing with ur t swift reactions?? Again hope ur feeling better 🤗❤️
100000000% but will start in November . Fresh start. Truly look forward to it ❤️
Obsessed with that make up, love love it
Her singing to hoax ❤️❤️❤️
🥺💖
Watching this was such a joy!
Your thoughts on 'illicit affairs" are amazing and genius, I agree with you, it is about addiction/different types of addiction
Enjoyed this so much!!! Hit the like and I subscribed!!! Thank you so much. I will for sure check out your other stuff. Lovely❤️❤️❤️
Evermore is great to react to next! It’s like a part 2 of folklore! Also folk vibes.
I’d also recommend speak now which is my favorite Taylor album! It has more country rock vibes!
Best reaction omg
SUBSCRIBED. expecting more from her. start with her ALL TOO WELL 10 MINS VERSION
Your makeup is beautiful I want to be your best friend I’m only a minute in but you give good vibes 😂
awwww this is so nice
you envisioning seven as an edm style track is now a core memory and i actually thought that take was so creative because it could totally go that way!!!
you should watch long pond studio sessions on folklore, just for your amusement! it’s GOOD
You should reaction to " the lakes original version " it's so beeeeeautiful
oh i love this interpretation of illicit affairs
You can probably find the live version of exile that Taylor performed solo on tour. so worth it
The effect for " My tears ricochet " 🔥 i mean same , that's my reaction when i hear that song for the first time
