I love your honesty, not even us swifties like all the songs in the first listen. Some songs we learn to like, or start do relate to it later, and we have the songs we don’t like at all 😂. But I just hate when reactors like everything, it’s just not likely to be true.
There are a LOT of her poppier songs that I'm like "this is trash I can't believe my favorite artist put this out" and then like two listens later I'm bopping along to it. Would like to not be this way but alas.
The most embarrassing thing of my life is I hated folklore first listen. It’s because I don’t like change and I LOVED lover.. I was so used to pop taylor that I was like immediately no. But lo and behold after a few listens I became obsessed, even more so with evermore, that when midnights was announced I was like I don’t want pop anymore! Folkmore style for life! 🤣 (but I LOVE midnights. Sometimes it just takes me a while. Lol) -for maybe unnecessary context, I’m a huge obsessive level swiftie since debut
@@amandaleighplanstotally get it! I was on a holiday on a camping site with my ex when folklore came out and we listened to it in a super echo-y huge bathroom and I heard NOTHING I just thought it's a weird brew of random sounds. Turns out it was just the bathroom. As soon as is put on The One lyrics video at Home I was HOOKED
@@amandaleighplansi hated lover at first listen too because I guess I was in my rep era, but months later I listened to it and absolutely loved it. Them again folklore was such a huge surprise and now it's my fav
Dancing with our hands tied was performed acoustic during the rep tour since she was proving any of her songs, even with heavy production, can be played acoustic.
I think the thing that makes TS so special is how she conveys an emotion with not only her lyrics, but the musical arrangement as well. it took a hot minute for me to like King of My Heart, but now it’s one of my favorites. The frenetic drums reminds me of the frenetic feeling we all get when we suddenly and unexpectedly fall in love hard and fast. I think that’s how her relationship with Joe started. frenetic, fast, and falling hard. I felt the same way about Out of the Woods. It gave me anxiety- but again - girl in her arrangement made us all feel the anxiety she had in her relationship with Harry.
you should definitely listen to Speak Now (Taylor's Version) next! it recently came out and its so quintessentially Swiftian bc its fully self-written (between the ages of 18 and 20, so quite a tumultuous time in her life as a young artist)
Honestly, as a Taylor Swift fan, I really, really love this album. It is really hard for me not to say reputation is my favorite album. She had went through everything with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and the leaked, edited phone call that claimed that Kanye had let Taylor know what the lyrics to His song famous were going to be and made it seem like she okayed it (sometime in early 2020 around April I think they leaked the entire phone call between Kanye and Taylor and it proves that Taylor was not lying the entire time, so good on half the world for just finding their first good reason to turn on her and doing so😢) and after all of that stuff Taylor left the limelight. Before this Taylor was huge in media, she was a big celebrity, she was very famous. As a Taylor Swift fan then I was used to seeing her on red carpets all the time and performing live all the time doing interviews all the time I mean I was used to seeing Taylor and she left. For, I don't know, maybe eight months to a year she was gone the only thing she did in that time frame was released a song with Zayn Malik called I don't want to live forever( beautiful song BTW). So when she deleted everything on all of her social medias and replaced it with a cryptic video that looks suspiciously like a snake ( which everybody had been calling her a snake and a liar and Taylor Swift is over party was trending on Twitter it was insane) I almost actually cried cuz I didn't think she'd come back I thought Taylor would quit music I thought she had finally got fed up with it and everybody constantly being at her for nothing I really thought that she was over it. So she replace all of her social media with just the cryptic image of something that looked like maybe a snake and then over the next few days or weeks (I'm not a hundred percent sure my time frames have definitely shorten through Time 😂) she posted more videos that were cryptic that made it very apparent that it was a snake and she dropped the music video for look what you made me do, which honestly is probably one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life but I still know every single word to it because of what it meant. just the symbolism of the video, the symbolism of the song itself, everything. It was when Taylor Swift went Easter egg crazy 😂. And then she released the the album called reputation and it made sense to what her life had been and the things that she had gone through. Starts with a song called ready for it where she's asking her potential partner if he is prepared for all of the BS that's about to come with dating her and whether or not he's actually really ready for it ( they dated for six years so I think that he had a skewed vision of what getting ready for it actually meant because when she came back out of hiding fully after the pandemic and really started hitting her stride yeah the media attention, then the interviews, yeah everything went right back up to the top. Lucky for me I guess 😅) and then to this is why we can't have nice things where she's discussing the whole situation with Kanye and how it's went downhill because he betrayed her trust. To New Year's Day where I actually think that she is showing that even though she claims that "old Taylor can't come to the phone because she's dead" I think old Taylor was always there she just needed some time and she needed to vent and I think that reputation was a lot of venting and a lot of really personal things for her and so it made it hard for a lot of people who are not Taylor Swift fans and do not understand her story to really connect to but for me I connect to it. I love that album! I think reputation is my favorite album and then folklore is my second favorite album😂. And also I think the reason why she talked so much about kings and queens and kingdoms and things have to do with that is for two reasons one she really really really love storytelling so I'm sure she would really really love to read stories and I'm sure she's read a lot of fiction that she has got an inspiration from and the second reason is because her boyfriend at the time Joe Alwyn is British 😂
I had the same reaction as you to most songs in this album but it really grows on you and becomes addicting also watching the rep tour really gets you into the songs
hey! thanks for sharing your honest opinion, your thoughts and commentary is really interesting to hear as an outsider and it’s really fun to see you discover this side of taylor! i would be really amazing to see you react to the Netflix Reputation Stadium Tour, it will pretty much change your whole perception of the album! thanks for making these vids! 💫
I LOVE how honest you are even if you hate songs I love lmao. This is Is Why was my first favorite on the album bc I love bratty petty Taylor and the beat, but I was watching this like "she's not gonna be happy with this one" 😅 but also I think New Year's Day is possibly her best album closer of all time, because the album sounds so angry and aggressive even if it's discussing her falling in love, and at the end she strips away the persona and just gives you the bare truth of "I've found the kind of love where I can have fun at parties and kiss him at midnight but also enjoy the quiet aftermath where we're doing something mundane". When she and Joe broke up I admit I went back to this song just to cry a little, because I cannot imagine writing something like that for someone and then now that person isn't in your life anymore I think most Swifties (myself included) probably aren't super familiar with the type of stuff you usually listen to so trying to grasp what you're gonna like is a bit difficult lol
I don't know if you didn't listen to all or edited "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Friends", it is about Kanye West, in it she says, it was so nice being friends again, get you on the phone and mind twist you (the infamous edited phone call), sometimes you have to hear the whole song, the last half is the best part of that song.
Your stank face during King of My Heart and TIWWCHNT (why, Taylor) was giving me life AND VINDICATION!! I don't think I've agreed with you so heavily on a Taylor album before this one. This is one that needs to grow on you but the last 4 (not counting Nice Things) starting at Dancing with Our Hands Tied is really what I wish reputation as a whole album was.
Shelby, you should definitely try Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), it has rock elements, it’s basically a blend of pop, rock and country all together and the lyrics are top notch, it has lots of bangers, I’m sure you’ll like it!
Getaway Car was referred to in my circles as a 'gateway' song to Reputation xD I think it's because Reputation had such a different sound from her albums then that it was still the same writing style that 'grounded' us
i think the context of when this album was released played such a huge part on how it was received. it also helped people see taylor as a more mature woman for suuuure loved seeing your reaction!!
i feel like 'this is why we can't have nice things' is such a better listen when you go in knowing that it's supposed to be a finger-wagging song at kanye and kim. xD
i don’t think you missed anything on reputation, but you missed a TON of midnights bonus tracks, there are so many deluxe editions you still need to do. and for reputation you could do “i don’t wanna live forever” that’s basically reputation but not on the album.
I think you'd like King of My Heart a lot more if you saw the live performance, that's what did it for me. Now it's one of my favourites. The lead she dances with, Owenn is also the lead in her Lover music video. He does his own music and has even opened at some of her concerts.
I'm a longtime Swiftie and when this album first dropped I had very similar reactions honestly, and the ones like King of my Heart grew on me after a while. I respect it and I think they're wonderful songs, just not my cup of tea really, and that's okay! Keep up the videos I love your vibe lol
18:30 agree😂 new year's day does not sound like it should be on Reputation it sounds off when you listen to rep in order, like it's a song with completely different theme, it sounds like it would fit more on Folklore or Evemore 😅
I could tell from your reaction to getaway car that you were not going to like this is why we can't have nice things. I like this is why we can't have nice things because of the topic that she is discussing in the song I really really really love me some petty Taylor so this is why we can't have nice things, vigilante s***, madwoman, MEAN!! those are some of my personal favorite Taylor Swift songs.
Reputation is consistently my favorite album of Taylor’s, (DWOHT and CIWYW are my favorites), but This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things has always been my least favorite by far. I know it’s not meant to be too serious, and it embodies its own theme well… but I agree it’s a hard one to listen to if I’m not in the mood 😂
This is why we can't have nice things is nobody's favorite but honestly I feel like that's just a song Taylor just needed to put out for herself to get some shit off her chest and have her own little moment
I wholeheartedly believe that reputation is her best album. I also believe that she should’ve put Vigilante stuff on this album and put New Year’s Day on Midnights! Also, sorry if it seems like I’m coming at you, I just have extremely strong opinions on this.
we love your honest reaction because we also do feel the same way when we first heard the album or even any album there are really just skips on first listen however i listen to albums as the way the songs are in order so i really get to be familiar with the ones i dont like at first listen. im also a huge fan of watching reaction vids and some yt reactors even liked the song when they are already editing it because it got stuck in their head and theyll pop up on the video saying it was a bop days after! haha i love that growth as it shows that music can really move us also just a side note i or we do understand that reputation is somehow not what yt reactors expected it to be as to what fans are saying thats because u rly need to be in that era to fully understand it and wt that EDM music arrangement, its not aging like fine wine. we’ve also seen Taylor at her best every single time and i feel like Midnights might just be what reputation’s legacy should be however it will always be a fan favorite as that album is much anticipated in her time (2017) after all the drama so fans at that moment rly deserved it! :)
@@shelbmathews yes! and we’ll still watch your videos if u ever made one for re-listening or revisiting the album! it would be nice to see what songs rly took u over the long road! :)
I've watched every one of your reactions to Taylor and now I am actually scared you won't find anything you love on the other albums left... But I would suggest Red since it has a bit of everything
“This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” isn’t really meant to be that sort of a vibe-it’s a clapback against Kanye. She had to get it out of her system. 😆
I'm a passive listener to music. Sometimes i can listen to an album multiple times and nothing sticks. Could be the best album, if my brain doesn't want it atm, I can't. examples, folklore and evermore. I listen to them while knitting, no songs stuck, then just around Midnights release, suddenly both stuck and held me in a chokehold. Also even tho I gave Reputation many chances it wasn't until 2 days before Speak Now (Taylor's Version) was coming out that my brain said, let's listen to Reputation again, give it a shot. * sigh * so yeah, I'm currently going through my Reputation phase i guess 🤷
I knew you wouldn't like IDSB but it still made me laugh seeing you! As a massive swiftie who is obsessed with this album and era - I find that one a bit cringe hahaha. I understand 😂
Please please please react to Speak Now (Taylor's Version) next! Speak Now (og version) is the album that made me a swiftie and has always been my number 1 Taylor album. Taylor's Version has just confirmed that with the addition of vault tracks. Not a single skip on the album in my opinion. I do want to suggest before listening to Better Than Revenge (Taylor's Version) that you should listen to the original version first because I am curious what your thoughts on the difference will be. 💜✨️👑
tbf i didn't really like this is why we can't have nice things at first too, i just like it because of the context lol but the song is kinda hard to listen to sometimes
Based on everything I’ve learned so far, I think that the best album for you would be Speak Now Taylor’s Version. It has a some rock-inspiration and is somewhere between pop and country, but it’s very heavy in the actual music.
I used to listen to that album as a kid, and honestly, I’m also starting to think that I might just be a speak now girlie after all. it def has those rock elements that I love! and i’m excited to listen to taylor’s version
I did just want to say. i see you have some confusion when it comes to some of the songs on this album which makes sense because this album has a lot of context needed like a ton of the stuff she talks about in this is why we can't have nice things relates to Kanye drama and things like that that require previous knowledge and context. Because of that it makes the album harder to enjoy without the context. A lot of the moments where it's like oh my God she did that you need to know what happened before. There's tons of lyrical references and call it what you want to when she disappeared from the Internet and when she was being hated on and things like that that would fly over a non swiftie head. If you want context I'm sure me and many other Swifties would be willing to give it but I just wanted to put that our there.
That's the point of this song. To be funny, petty and cheesy. This song tends to grow on you, but it can grow in two ways. It can grow to be one of your all time favourites, or grow to be one of your least favorites/ most hated songs of hers.
So the first time I listened to Getaway Car I was just “meh”…. But it is a total earworm. Give it a couple more listens. I have done that with several songs… not liked them at first and they become my favorite.
you should totally listen to True Romance by Charli XCX, the album has a lot of beautifully layered production and its so good. I think it will be right up your alley.
This is why we can’t have nice things is supposed to be kinda schoolyard taunting sounding. It’s about Kanye/Kim and how they were supposed to be friends and they were shady to Taylor.
Also a lot of the references to what you could interpret to be a relationship are actually aimed at her media portrayal at this time, which was poor. This album was when she was in hiding with her then boyfriend, joe alwyn.
you should totally listen to True Romance by Charli XCX, the album has a lot of beautifully layered production and its so good. I think it will be right up your alley sonically and aesthetically. (:
Honestly, I think rep is overrated by swifties. It has some jewels, but I think the esthetic of the Era is better (and more iconic) than the songs themselves. The production for a lot of the songs is dated, and not in a good way. The songs sound much better on tour when they have live instrumentation (I.e the guitar in Don’t Blame Me) Pop rock Taylor on speak now is more to my music taste.
WHAT call it what you want is my favourite song on the album, but i'm a sucker for good lyrics and don't pay as much attention to the beat and instruments
Love that you are listening to her with an open mind! You should do speak now (Taylor’s version next!)
truee
yes! especially the vault tracks!!
Agree, I’d love to hear you listen to the vault tracks!
The greatest con: Reputation is a love letter to her man, wrapped up in a revenge album… Every bait & switch was a work of art!
legit
To her man 😂 that is sooo funny
I love your honesty, not even us swifties like all the songs in the first listen. Some songs we learn to like, or start do relate to it later, and we have the songs we don’t like at all 😂. But I just hate when reactors like everything, it’s just not likely to be true.
yeah, even with my favorite artists/albums, there are songs I don’t like 🤷♀️😂 just how it goessssss
There are a LOT of her poppier songs that I'm like "this is trash I can't believe my favorite artist put this out" and then like two listens later I'm bopping along to it. Would like to not be this way but alas.
The most embarrassing thing of my life is I hated folklore first listen. It’s because I don’t like change and I LOVED lover.. I was so used to pop taylor that I was like immediately no.

@@amandaleighplanstotally get it! I was on a holiday on a camping site with my ex when folklore came out and we listened to it in a super echo-y huge bathroom and I heard NOTHING I just thought it's a weird brew of random sounds.

@@amandaleighplansi hated lover at first listen too because I guess I was in my rep era, but months later I listened to it and absolutely loved it. Them again folklore was such a huge surprise and now it's my fav
After being disappointed you didn’t like King of My Heart, I knew without a doubt you would hate This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things 😂
hahahaha not my fav but that’s okay!! 😂✨
i was laughing at her reaction coz i knew it was a fandom favorite lol
@@shelbmathewslol what if you just replied "because I didn't" 😂
Dancing with our hands tied is my absolute favourite off Rep, so I’m really happy you liked it!
Dancing with our hands tied was performed acoustic during the rep tour since she was proving any of her songs, even with heavy production, can be played acoustic.
waitttt I feel like that song would be really good acoustic
@@shelbmathewsHere’s the acoustic version: ruclips.net/video/N3YpGKfadtg/видео.html
Lookin like you've developed a reputation yourself... a reputation for reacting to Taylor Swift albums!
bahahahaha so true

I had the same reaction as you to most songs in this album but it really grows on you and becomes addicting also watching the rep tour really gets you into the songs
yeah some of the songs on the first half of the album have already grown on me since filming that video!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 💘💘💘
hey! thanks for sharing your honest opinion, your thoughts and commentary is really interesting to hear as an outsider and it’s really fun to see you discover this side of taylor!
i would be really amazing to see you react to the Netflix Reputation Stadium Tour, it will pretty much change your whole perception of the album! thanks for making these vids! 💫

you're such a vibe and I love your reactions! ty for video!🤍
thx for commenting!! 🤍🤍
Kinda sad because king of my heart is my 3rd favourite from reputation, behind getaway car and dress, and just in front of dancing with our hands tied
what makes it your favorite? does it just resonate with you? I would like to know!!
@@shelbmathewsi dont relate to it, but i love the bridge and it reminds me of some of my favourite book characters, and i love the sound
okay love that 📖
I don't know if you didn't listen to all or edited "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Friends", it is about Kanye West, in it she says, it was so nice being friends again, get you on the phone and mind twist you (the infamous edited phone call), sometimes you have to hear the whole song, the last half is the best part of that song.

so it goes supremacy ...... and DRESSS
DRESS HAD ME SHOOK
i’m a huge swiftie and rep is in my top 3 fave ts albums, but “drill team music” is the most accurate descriptor for like half of this album omfg
I really do like This is Why We Cant Have Nice Things. It's not meant to be to serious but just a fun, cheesy song.
All the romantic songs are about 1 guy, Joe Alwyn, this is the era she first met him.
Getaway Car was referred to in my circles as a 'gateway' song to Reputation xD I think it's because Reputation had such a different sound from her albums then that it was still the same writing style that 'grounded' us
i think the context of when this album was released played such a huge part on how it was received. it also helped people see taylor as a more mature woman for suuuure
loved seeing your reaction!!
that all makes sense!!
you DEFINITELY need to react to the live performance of I did something bad and the album yeah.
i feel like 'this is why we can't have nice things' is such a better listen when you go in knowing that it's supposed to be a finger-wagging song at kanye and kim. xD
So sad you didnt feel enough for the bangers 😭😭
i don’t think you missed anything on reputation, but you missed a TON of midnights bonus tracks, there are so many deluxe editions you still need to do. and for reputation you could do “i don’t wanna live forever” that’s basically reputation but not on the album.
yes I def need to revisit the midnights bonus tracks
Now I am way too excited to look forward seeing your reaction on LOVER!🤩just fit for summer time
I think you would love 1989, I feel it's like your type of album
I think you'd like King of My Heart a lot more if you saw the live performance, that's what did it for me. Now it's one of my favourites. The lead she dances with, Owenn is also the lead in her Lover music video. He does his own music and has even opened at some of her concerts.
If you’re interested in exploring the fairytale elements I’d definitely recommend Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)
I'm a longtime Swiftie and when this album first dropped I had very similar reactions honestly, and the ones like King of my Heart grew on me after a while. I respect it and I think they're wonderful songs, just not my cup of tea really, and that's okay! Keep up the videos I love your vibe lol
"not my cup of tea" is such a wholesome phrase, and yeah I'm curious to see how these grow on me!
You need to go from reputation to lover!! They’re sister albums
Dancing with our hands tied and Getaway Car are sensational
The drum beats that scared you are just awesome funky, off beats …drums are my thing…great beat
18:30 agree😂 new year's day does not sound like it should be on Reputation it sounds off when you listen to rep in order, like it's a song with completely different theme, it sounds like it would fit more on Folklore or Evemore 😅
yeah!! some people were saying it was a “transitional song” into lover though which I get
Not TS related: your makeup is FIRE, holy cow.
omg thank you so much
Watching you go over This Is Why We Cant Have Nice Things is so funny 😂
I could tell from your reaction to getaway car that you were not going to like this is why we can't have nice things. I like this is why we can't have nice things because of the topic that she is discussing in the song I really really really love me some petty Taylor so this is why we can't have nice things, vigilante s***, madwoman, MEAN!! those are some of my personal favorite Taylor Swift songs.
Her best album
When you said dress was sexual (which yes haha) I immediately thought of the Speak Now Vault. "I can see you" feels like you would like it a lot
King of My Heart is a super kitschy song but the tour version is just *chefs kiss*
I wonder if it’s going to be hard to re-record this album.
Reputation is consistently my favorite album of Taylor’s, (DWOHT and CIWYW are my favorites), but This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things has always been my least favorite by far. I know it’s not meant to be too serious, and it embodies its own theme well… but I agree it’s a hard one to listen to if I’m not in the mood 😂
ikr i’m trying to remind myself it’s just a glitter gel pen song (or whatever they’re called) but it’s hard hahaha
This is why we can't have nice things is nobody's favorite but honestly I feel like that's just a song Taylor just needed to put out for herself to get some shit off her chest and have her own little moment
tbh that makes sense
New Years Day i play EVERY new years and it’s been a tradition since rep came out
love that!
I wholeheartedly believe that reputation is her best album. I also believe that she should’ve put Vigilante stuff on this album and put New Year’s Day on Midnights! Also, sorry if it seems like I’m coming at you, I just have extremely strong opinions on this.
Imo New Year's Day belongs in either folklore or evermore.
Love that you were honest on the songs you didn't like! Please keep being honest because we can tell fake reactions.
this hurts a lil bc king of my heart has been my favorite song since the first time ive heard it lol
we love your honest reaction because we also do feel the same way when we first heard the album or even any album there are really just skips on first listen however i listen to albums as the way the songs are in order so i really get to be familiar with the ones i dont like at first listen. im also a huge fan of watching reaction vids and some yt reactors even liked the song when they are already editing it because it got stuck in their head and theyll pop up on the video saying it was a bop days after! haha i love that growth as it shows that music can really move us also just a side note i or we do understand that reputation is somehow not what yt reactors expected it to be as to what fans are saying thats because u rly need to be in that era to fully understand it and wt that EDM music arrangement, its not aging like fine wine. we’ve also seen Taylor at her best every single time and i feel like Midnights might just be what reputation’s legacy should be however it will always be a fan favorite as that album is much anticipated in her time (2017) after all the drama so fans at that moment rly deserved it! :)
sometimes I do end up liking or disliking songs more after re-listening to them in the editing process hahaha it’s funny how that happens
@@shelbmathews yes! and we’ll still watch your videos if u ever made one for re-listening or revisiting the album! it would be nice to see what songs rly took u over the long road! :)
I've watched every one of your reactions to Taylor and now I am actually scared you won't find anything you love on the other albums left... But I would suggest Red since it has a bit of everything
Speak now isn’t really a country album imo, taylor’s version especially. More like pop rock. I think you might really like it actually
Except for mean that’s very country
thanks for sticking around for the ride!! 😌🫶
King of my Heart is a grower. I didn’t like it until I heard it Live. She didn’t have a bunch of reverb with it.
I like how your "okay" could mean it's going good or it's going bad for you haha
lmaooo so true
Dancing With Our Hands Tied her best song.
Something’s I feel like Rep is more of a Lover albums than Lover 😭
“This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” isn’t really meant to be that sort of a vibe-it’s a clapback against Kanye. She had to get it out of her system. 😆
I'm a passive listener to music. Sometimes i can listen to an album multiple times and nothing sticks. Could be the best album, if my brain doesn't want it atm, I can't.
examples, folklore and evermore. I listen to them while knitting, no songs stuck, then just around Midnights release, suddenly both stuck and held me in a chokehold. Also even tho I gave Reputation many chances it wasn't until 2 days before Speak Now (Taylor's Version) was coming out that my brain said, let's listen to Reputation again, give it a shot.
* sigh * so yeah, I'm currently going through my Reputation phase i guess 🤷
haha that happens to me with certain albums too
You should defo do red or lover ❤ love these videos sm 🥲
As a rock girlie idk how they haven’t requested speak now for you yet
ik I really feel like that one might end up being my fav after all
I knew you wouldn't like IDSB but it still made me laugh seeing you! As a massive swiftie who is obsessed with this album and era - I find that one a bit cringe hahaha. I understand 😂
it's not my fav hahaha
Petition for reputation stadium tour reaction, please 😭
Please please please react to Speak Now (Taylor's Version) next! Speak Now (og version) is the album that made me a swiftie and has always been my number 1 Taylor album. Taylor's Version has just confirmed that with the addition of vault tracks. Not a single skip on the album in my opinion. I do want to suggest before listening to Better Than Revenge (Taylor's Version) that you should listen to the original version first because I am curious what your thoughts on the difference will be. 💜✨️👑
I actually loved that album when I was a kid!! I’m excited to hear taylor’s version :))
King Of My Heart is my favorite haha
fair!!! haha
tbf i didn't really like this is why we can't have nice things at first too, i just like it because of the context lol but the song is kinda hard to listen to sometimes
Based on everything I’ve learned so far, I think that the best album for you would be Speak Now Taylor’s Version. It has a some rock-inspiration and is somewhere between pop and country, but it’s very heavy in the actual music.
OH also incredible lyrics, it isn’t over-bearing, and is upbeat
I used to listen to that album as a kid, and honestly, I’m also starting to think that I might just be a speak now girlie after all. it def has those rock elements that I love! and i’m excited to listen to taylor’s version
If you want instruments you have to do Speak Now. I can see you being a Speak Now girly. lol
I think I might be 😌
I did just want to say. i see you have some confusion when it comes to some of the songs on this album which makes sense because this album has a lot of context needed like a ton of the stuff she talks about in this is why we can't have nice things relates to Kanye drama and things like that that require previous knowledge and context. Because of that it makes the album harder to enjoy without the context. A lot of the moments where it's like oh my God she did that you need to know what happened before. There's tons of lyrical references and call it what you want to when she disappeared from the Internet and when she was being hated on and things like that that would fly over a non swiftie head. If you want context I'm sure me and many other Swifties would be willing to give it but I just wanted to put that our there.
Have you listened the Lover album yet?
new years day my favourite
it’s so good :,)
when you realize this is why we can't have nice things is about kanye/kim 💀
that did hit me at some point and it does make the song kinda funny. like yes patronize kanye more!!!
That's the point of this song. To be funny, petty and cheesy. This song tends to grow on you, but it can grow in two ways. It can grow to be one of your all time favourites, or grow to be one of your least favorites/ most hated songs of hers.
Good job ❤
So the first time I listened to Getaway Car I was just “meh”…. But it is a total earworm. Give it a couple more listens. I have done that with several songs… not liked them at first and they become my favorite.
u should listen to the 6 new vault tracks from speak now taylors version next❤❤
I rlly want to!!
life performances pls
Your look is perfect to listen to the red album😆
you should totally listen to True Romance by Charli XCX, the album has a lot of beautifully layered production and its so good. I think it will be right up your alley.
This is why we can’t have nice things is supposed to be kinda schoolyard taunting sounding. It’s about Kanye/Kim and how they were supposed to be friends and they were shady to Taylor.
Also a lot of the references to what you could interpret to be a relationship are actually aimed at her media portrayal at this time, which was poor. This album was when she was in hiding with her then boyfriend, joe alwyn.
you should totally listen to True Romance by Charli XCX, the album has a lot of beautifully layered production and its so good. I think it will be right up your alley sonically and aesthetically. (:
You should do 1989 or Lover next!!
I don't really trust anyone who doesn't get Getaway Car.
Honestly, I think rep is overrated by swifties. It has some jewels, but I think the esthetic of the Era is better (and more iconic) than the songs themselves. The production for a lot of the songs is dated, and not in a good way. The songs sound much better on tour when they have live instrumentation (I.e the guitar in Don’t Blame Me)
Pop rock Taylor on speak now is more to my music taste.
1989 reaction! 🧡
She talks a lot of kings & queens because he boyfriend at the time was a Brit
WHAT call it what you want is my favourite song on the album, but i'm a sucker for good lyrics and don't pay as much attention to the beat and instruments
1989 reaction when?
I love rep…. I can’t understand some of the random song additions that make the album so… not cohesive
Do lover next!!! I think you’ll like that album better than rep.
that is def possible!
Jinx did not hear that sadly
Edit: she heard Dress!
hahahaha
Girl what is that black dot in your eye
14:29 bro dw i hate that song too
💀💀💀
To make me feel better about you not liking this is why we can't have nice things, I'm just gonna think you don't know the back story... lolz
Definitely the outright sxyest song of hers has got to be Wildest Dreams. But you haven’t come to 1989 yet…
This sesh is not my vibe . G’luck Shelby ✌️
Getaway Car >>> the entire album
Your distaste for TIWWCHNT hurts my feelings. (Jk. Mostly jk.)
Maybe you need to listen to some simpler music.
meudeus ela eh muito chatinha não aguento
I feel like Taylor Swift is really not your thing... I'll pretend I'm not offended and just move on
Bruh
??? She’s liked loads of her songs, you don’t have to like every single song to like her
