She got her first record deal at age 14, she deserves a Doctorate. It's a honorary title that a university can give for excellence in any field in the USA, it's a means of recognition.
Hi, Luke just wanted to share When she said "The scary news is you're on your own now but the cool news is you're on your own now" was an easter egg/reference to You're On Your Own, Kid from Midnights also the "breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out" was also a reference to her song Labyrinth both weren't released yet at that time.
I graduated with her that day!!! And we got to yankee stadium at 7am to be sure we were in the front to see her! This speech is the reason I became a full blown swiftie. She made me laugh and cry, and I fell in love with her. 💜 #NYU2022
Don't be silly, you ARE special. Taylor may have brought us to your channel, but we've stayed because of YOU. Please never forget that. Most of us already love Taylor, we've heard the music and watched the music videos. We come HERE because of the community YOU have created, because of the joy that YOU bring as you allow us to experience Taylor anew through YOUR eyes. It's your genuine reactions, your enthusiasm and appreciation that has us tuning in for every video. We already had Taylor, it was YOU we didn't know we needed but we are so grateful to have. Keep being authentically and unapologetically YOU, it's because of you that we love being here. ❤
Exactly. There are so many taylor channels out there and I've not really "gotten into" so many of them because their persona just seemed a bit weird and acted, but high are someone I make sure to watch as soon as I can and recommend your videos to anyone who will listen ❤
I honestly don't think I've ever wanted a reactor to get noticed by Taylor as much as I hope she notices your videos. You are amazing and always so thoughtful and grateful. Thank you for being you. ❤
Luke, the thing that always make ME tear up is the *constant* gratitude you express for a community that YOU built. We pour into you because you're an absolute joy to engage with! Yes the Swifties showed up in droves, but we stayed for YOU and the joy YOU bring us. Much love to you and your family 🤎🩶🤍🖤
Immediate tears. I wish I lived in the UK so I could meet Luke and give him a huge hug. This has quite literally become my favorite reaction channel and it’s specifically because of how genuine Luke is with his reactions to Taylor.
@crystalkadletc1944 right??!! after months of watching his Taylor journey, for him to still be so genuine (and the gratitude seriously ends me 😭😭) --it's such a reflection of who Luke is as a person, and I will forever be here to support him!
I can't say it enough, but you said it the best! Luke, "YOU bring us JOY!" It is so awesome to see the community come together to experience Taylor through your eyes. With no BS, just wholesome reactions, to an amazing artist!
There is no me, without you all, every number on this channel, view or otherwise is what makes this channel exist. You're all so sweet to me, but I won't ever forget that this is all here because of you beautiful amazing people ❤❤
NYU is New York University and yes, Taylor can go by Dr Taylor Allison Swift now. The university said it awarded Swift the doctorate degree because she is “one of the most prolific and celebrated artists of her generation.” Past recipients of honorary doctorates from NYU include Aretha Franklin, former president Bill Clinton, and civil rights leader John Lewis just to name a few so it’s a huge honor!
As a female, I thank you for being self aware enough to recognize your past behaviors and trying to better yourself. It means more to females than you know! Thank you for being you! 🥰
There is a video out there of Taylor with her family in the car going to this commencement...also her parents took pictures of her in her cap and gown in front of a makeshift wall display. They were very proud. Special family!!!!!
she was so proud this day, and the fact that Joe wasnt there is when I think she was truly done with him. Her family so proud, and his too (Joes parents/siblings attended)...yet he was too insecure to be there. Not meaning to be a downer and bring him up but I was dumbfounded how he didn't show up - because this wasn't a huge swiftie event or something most taylor swift fans paid attention to until after it was released. But that fact her BF of 5 years couldn't sit in the back of that crowd to watch her I knew it was over., bc this day meant SO MUCH to her.
@@officespaceli9313 Exactly! and his family was there for her and he wasnt. It was so different from any other event. There was no reason he couldn't be there. He wasnt filming anything at that time. Complete selfishness!
Luke, LISTEN. You are the best, genuine, kind person i hv ever seen. And you can say ,the Old Luke is dead. And i love ur babies. they will grow up to achieve amazing things with your love and support. Remainder: I love you so so much as much as i love Taylor.
i think she did use the teleprompter...but she could have memorized if she had to. As someone who is into politics I can tell by the way she is going left and right she did use prompter. nothing wrong with that though!
luke, i hope this isn’t too much, but you talking about your family and then you beating younger you up for not complimenting your dates, then switching to present day- i hope you know that you being that way with your wife is ALL YOU!!! 🥺 you weren’t raised that way so you didn’t show that love until you got old enough when you realized something was wrong and changed, and now call it out. you are truly amazing and im in awe of how your words get to me everytime.❤️ i love supporting your taylor journey!
Great reaction. Thank you. I am so incredibly proud of Dr. Taylor Alison Swift. I am so impressed with her amazing speech which she gave without written notes. She was so composed, funny, interesting and inspirational.
I was recently called a member of a cult for being a Swiftie. My response to that person was that’s the response I get from people who know next to nothing about her. And I told her she should check more out from Taylor and she may change her mind. And then I told her that’s a compliment to me because I know who she is and what she represents and I wish you did too! I don’t idolize an individual but I do very much support what Taylor stands for and how she protects that with her soul. It’s the movement that I love and how all of us Swifties can identify with it! And it’s okay if you don’t understand that…cause I certainly do and I’m proud of it!!!
She is an amazing woman. Very self aware and incredibly intelligent. Posterity will judge her haters. And for those of us that love her and find her to be an inspiration we will always place her on a pedestal and yet still find her soo relatable at the same time. She has contributed to a lot of happy units in my life. And if that contributed to her being a billionaire it’s all good.
Luke, it is so refreshing to see a man express his true emotions. Just wanted to let you know that universities in the province of Ontario Canada are now teaching a course on Taylor Swift and her business savvy! She is just incredible!
You talk about how much love the swifties have for each other, it’s wonderful to have you be a part of it. I went to the eras tour on friday (Wembley N1) and that is the first time I’ve gone to a gig where I felt so safe and loved, there was 0 anxiety (which is odd as I’m usually filled with it), which is a testament to our wonderful swiftie community. Everyone cares for each other. We’re glad to have you in it with us.
Luke, there was a line she said that I thought immediately that you needed to hear. Paraphrasing, but NEVER apologize for being enthusiastic. Every video you react and every video you apologize for it being too much. You do not need to apologize for anything that you are feeling, any feeling you have is valid and important and needs to be felt and expressed. We are along for the ride because we appreciate your willingness to share that excitement or sadness or anger or joy with us. We enjoy experiencing it with you. You shape our emotions with yours. We are so happy and smiling when you are excited. We are empathetic and crying along with you when you are sad. We are vindicated when you are angry at the things that made us angry. I love watching reaction videos, especially yours, and most especially to new Taylor Swift reactors because I get to watch them laugh and cry and dance and learn that the person that the world is so intent on trying to stifle and shame you for liking is truly a person we can all learn grace and kindness and resilience and respect from. That is why she is so huge and still here and relevant today. With every one of your reactions to her, you show us that you are somebody who in your appreciation of her qualities shows you possess the same qualities within yourself or at least strive for them. You are a good person. A genuine person. You are a Swiftie and the best kind and we appreciate you in our ranks. ❤❤❤
Your reaction is perfect for this Luke. I never got to watch the whole speech at once. Just bits and pieces here and there so this was very nice. Thanks for reacting. 🫶🏼
You will be AMAZED at the love you will feel at the eras show. I couldn’t believe the warmth and acceptance from the entire crowd. Everyone was talking to each other like they’d been best friends for years. There was an undeniable sense of community that I’ve never experienced before it was so beautiful and I can’t wait to hear about your experience there!! ❤❤❤
Graham Norton just released a video called "EVERY Taylor Swift Interview | Eras Marathon | The Graham Norton Show". It's 36 minutes long and it might be a great one to react to.
Honestly, I get what you mean. I hate how teenage-me thought nothing of girls' or women's outfits or makeup, like it was just normal for them to look like that and came easily to them. I seriously underrated the amount of work and time they put into how they look in public, and honestly, I still underrate it a bit.
Taylor is such an amazing speaker. The fun part of this is going back and watching after Midnights was announced and released and hearing her weaving lyrics from some of those songs into her speech. I can't remember if you have reacted to You're On Your Own Kid but if you have not, I would definitely suggest that one. This will sound odd because I obviously don't personally know either you or Taylor but honestly I feel you are both extremely genuine people which is why you both resonate with all of us so much. It's so refreshing seeing a person do what they love and truly appreciate it. 💜💜💜
Omg ive never seen this,im ashamed for not knowing about this but to be fair ive only been a swiftie for just over a yr im 61 an always thought taylor was singing for a younger generation, but im going to watch it later again uninterrupted,,im actually crying here shes frickin awesome..🏴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🏴
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your channel but I want to say I’ve been here for every single Taylor video you’ve posted and you’re for sure my favorite person on this platform. You’re such a genuinely great man and dad that everyone should aspire to me more like and I’ll continue watching as long as you post 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@taylornation has to see you!! What a genuine, kind, well spoken person. Not only do you reflect on what Taylor says, but you also add your own experiences, and as a result, I think we all learn important life lessons as well. Thanks Luke
I’m always so curious how Carla feels when you walk out of the room after reacting to Taylor and you’re crying. 99% of the time lol. I vote, what ever your next TuesTay video is, CARLA JOINS. CAR-LA! CAR-LA!!
It shows growth that you judge your past self, and your past self did the best he could with what he knew at the time. How you treat your wife is what matters. You’re obviously setting a great example for your boys. This whole video warmed my heart and brought a lot of hope to my day. Thank you!
Please react to the footage of Travis with Taylor at the Eras tour London night 3, I was there and it was unbelievable, everyone was cheering, screaming, laughing and just in awe they shared it with us. I for one will never forget those couple of minutes and sharing it with my girls was just the BEST 'we were there moment', just EPIC 💜
You’re so insanely lucky to have experienced that moment!!! I was in the car with my mom when I saw the first clip on instagram. I shrieked and nearly caused her to crash the car! Mind you we were just leaving my birthday lunch so I considered it my personal birthday gift from Taylor. I’m in my late 50’s and mom is nearly 80 and we’re both massive Swifties in the last year or so. We became gonso obsessed that we even made ornaments and decorated a Tay & Trav Xmas tree together….starting in September (we were that convinced that Travis was End Game). It’s been a great bonding experience!
@@texasseastarI know, it was just a wtf moment hearing the screams as people realised and just looking at my daughter's going is this real. Funny thing is I wanted Death by a thousand cuts or ThanK you aIMee as the surprise songs which she did the previous nights, my daughter asked if getting Travis was worth their loss, and yes, yes it absolutely was 😊
I’ve been around for a bit on your channel, but I’ve just been kinda lurking in the background. Just wanted to come out of my lurk-mode to say how much I appreciate your openness and kindhearted nature, Luke. You brought me to tears with this one. It is so easy to look back on our lives with regret and anger at ourselves for choices that we made and paths we didn’t take. The truth is we just never know what is in front of us and how it will shape us. Like Taylor said, we’re going to make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean we have completely failed. Keep shining your light, all you beautiful souls 🩷
Thank you for allowing yourself to be so open and honest with us. You have no idea the gift that you are; that you give us. Thank you for everything you’ve done to get you to this point. 😊 Life is short, our children are young for a short time, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t need anyone after a certain age. We’ll need each other and our children even more as we age and get more wise. Yes! She is truly a Doctor. Doctor Taylor Allison Swift. Crazy, right? A true mastermind with a PhD! 🥰💖 She is such an eloquent and extremely articulate woman who just gave one of the most vulnerable, inspiring and honest commencement speech to the very lucky graduates of the NYU C/O ‘22. She could have been anything in life because she seems that she would continue to try anything until she is fluent and successful in that field. She’s just so damn precious. She was born to be on a stadium stage because she really does sparkle. ❤✨
Luke, we’re grateful to you too, for the hours you put in to entertaining us, so it’s mutual, which is a good thing. Keep doing what you’re doing, ‘cos you’re doing it right. Oh and yes, Taylor is special, a rare gift to millions, a kind person who gives a damn! Love from Annie, in sunny Cornwall, UK🙂🌸
I feel the same about being totally different to family and feeling adopted. I don't talk to my family now as our morals and opinions are completely different. It's always hard when you see everyone else close to family, but the "you're on your own kid" song really helped me realise that being proud of myself and raising myself is more than enough, and that's what made me so emotional about her speech here.
Also to add I have my own husband and daughter now and although i suffer from Cptsd, adhd and depression, things really have become better and I know i'm giving my daughter everything she needs to feel secure
Taylor is truly the best artist on earth. What a model she is. It's insane. Your channel is a breath of fresh air for me. When I come here, for Taylor or other videos, I can forget about this crazy world we live on. Cheers
I’ve been feeling so alone, lost, hating myself, like a failure and I’ve been texting the suic*de hotline for hours. But watching you and Taylor as I lay in bed at 3pm crying, has given me such comfort, and I don’t think you two will ever know how life saving that can be. Thank you💗
Awww! My unsolicited advice LOL is to get outside, go somewhere random and just say hi to someone ❤ it always helps me to get out of my house when I'm feeling down.
I have been where you are and I hope you know that the world needs you. You matter. Get yourself help so you can continue to light up the world for a very long time. ❤
Luke, just keep remaining as you, and we are always going to be here right along with you. I originally started watching your channel when you started your country reactions to the vocal group Home Free. I feel that I have grown with you, whether, their music, Taylor, your recent AGT reactions and that is because you are genuine. Yes, you are a simple man just navigating life the best that you can for you and your family, and so are all of us. Taking things one day at a time and doing them to the best of our abilities. I feel that a lot of us are more together in this community that you built, as a family than (like you) with our own flesh and blood relatives. I am honored to be a part of your circle and everyone here. ❤
My friend took a gap year and so she graduated NYU in 2023. I can’t even mention it bc she gets so upset she missed the opportunity to graduate with THE Taylor Alison Swift. I was also upset bc I could’ve seen Taylor at my friends graduation💔 I kinda made her a swifite so it’s essentially my fault how heartbroken we are over this😭
Oh no! Even though it's not the same, whenever things like this happen to me I always think that now I have a story to share. Even though it must be sad maybe one day it can be a story you just laugh about with your friend ❤ much love❤
I just realized that Taylor said in this speech that she wrote and recorded *11 albums.* Obviously, we assumed that she was talking about the two re-records as well, but all of those songs were already written, she just had to re-record them. However, she made it known that she wrote Midnights and TTPD at the same time in 2022. I think she was talking about THOSE albums, not the re-records
Midnights and TTPD weren’t written at the same time, or done at this point. A good chunk of songs on TTPD are about things that hadn’t even happened yet at that point
@@Hey_Jamie I know they weren’t done, but Midnights came out in 2022 and Taylor said when she announced TTPD that it was an album she’s been working on and excited to announce for 2 years, and in 2024 that means she started it in 2022. Neither were finished, but I think they were both started (and Midnights was almost done)
So glad you turned out the way you did, no shame to your family bc I don’t know them, but you’re such a kind and genuine person I am grateful you’re who you are, and grateful you’ve joined the Swifties!!
I'll say it in every comment. You are wonderful and we cherish you! The way you speak about women is so refreshing. I was a gymnast in the late 90s early 00s and the "style" at the time was to look like a Russian gymnast or previous USSR gymnast (we now know they were starved). I was a 90lb teenager and I was constantly told my body didn't measure up. I struggled a little with eating disorders. Not majorly thankfully. I do remember trying on a swimsuit once and being thrilled that I was so thin that my ribs and hip bones stuck out. My mom took one look at me and told me I was not healthy. She got me back on track thankfully. That's how we all thought of ourselves back then. Gymnasts anyway. But now I'm all grown up with a husband who thinks I'm beautiful all the time. And I'm trying to teach my children that all bodies are beautiful and to teach them to learn to love the body they've got. ❤
This is my first time ever seeing the whole thing and it's so touching!!! It's a tear jerker for sure. I also want to request that you listen to Last Kiss (Taylor's Version) off of her Speak Now album. Taylor has said that it's the saddest song she's ever written and it's one of my favorites.
So glad you saw this! She said so many great things and in true Taylor form.....left easter eggs. Basically said the lyrics to Labyrinth from Midnights.
Luke WOW can you believe last week was INSANE especially the first 3 Eras Tour shows in London, England? I just can't wait for your reaction when you attend and watch her live this August 2024! And I know you were thrilled and in awe of her NYU speech!
You are such a special person, my hope for you is that you will believe that about yourself. I enjoy Taylor Swift reactions a lot, and you are my favorite to watch. I am so glad that you decided to check out that first video and become part of our community of swifties. So happy for you, that you have a lovely family and get to experience their lives every day.
This is an excellent choice for TuesTay!. Tbh I've never watched the whole thing, just a small part of her speech, so this is a good opportunity for me to watch it
as much as i think your perspective on forgiveness is a very wise response, I also think that "forgiveness" and simply moving on aren't always one in the same. As taylor has said "you don't have to forgive, just move on." I think that holding resentment, and anger, is normal, as long as it isn't overtaking you. Remember it's okay to care for yourself first! I loved this video, and I admire how sincere you are with your emotions !
Luke, you are such a good and wholesome person. I am so glad I’ve found your video of reacting to Taylor for the first time. You’re such a beautiful soul.
Hey thanks for doing this. I had seen Taylor’s speech before but not the introduction. She’s so brilliant and wonderful. She can make me laugh and cry all at the same time like no one else I know or have ever known. ❤
You should check out Wonderland (Taylor's Version) and Sweeter Than Fiction next TuesTay, they're 2 of the few songs you have left from 1989 PS: I'm still not sure if I should leave TuesTay suggestions on the previous TuesTay (Tuesday) or the previous Taylor reaction (Friday) XD I'll just keep recommending these two and see if it works
Luke, your opinions on things, even as “an outsider” are so beautiful and heartfelt. Your sons and wife are so lucky to have you. If your “birth” family (as opposed to the family you and your wife made) is disappointed in the man that you have become, I am sorely disappointed in them. In much happier requests: would you ever consider introducing us to Luna? I bet she’s an adorable little noodle. 🐍
At 45:22, "we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep...breathe out" This was still five months before Midnights (and Labyrinth) were released. No one at the time realized the Easter Egg they were given.

And for those of us that love her and find her to be an inspiration we will always place her on a pedestal and yet still find her soo relatable at the same time. She has contributed to a lot of happy units in my life. And if that contributed to her being a billionaire it’s all good.
If more men would acknowledge what women struggle with, the struggle would be a lot lighter and easier on everyone. ❤
I’m so glad you speak on these things. Don’t ever stop. You’re SUCH a wonderful human ❤
Luke, it is so refreshing to see a man express his true emotions. Just wanted to let you know that universities in the province of Ontario Canada are now teaching a course on Taylor Swift and her business savvy! She is just incredible!
I remember watching this and being very proud of her. She's so pretty, smart, and humble. I adore Taylor.
You talk about how much love the swifties have for each other, it’s wonderful to have you be a part of it. I went to the eras tour on friday (Wembley N1) and that is the first time I’ve gone to a gig where I felt so safe and loved, there was 0 anxiety (which is odd as I’m usually filled with it), which is a testament to our wonderful swiftie community. Everyone cares for each other. We’re glad to have you in it with us.
Luke, there was a line she said that I thought immediately that you needed to hear. Paraphrasing, but NEVER apologize for being enthusiastic. Every video you react and every video you apologize for it being too much. You do not need to apologize for anything that you are feeling, any feeling you have is valid and important and needs to be felt and expressed. We are along for the ride because we appreciate your willingness to share that excitement or sadness or anger or joy with us. We enjoy experiencing it with you. You shape our emotions with yours. We are so happy and smiling when you are excited. We are empathetic and crying along with you when you are sad. We are vindicated when you are angry at the things that made us angry.
I love watching reaction videos, especially yours, and most especially to new Taylor Swift reactors because I get to watch them laugh and cry and dance and learn that the person that the world is so intent on trying to stifle and shame you for liking is truly a person we can all learn grace and kindness and resilience and respect from. That is why she is so huge and still here and relevant today.
With every one of your reactions to her, you show us that you are somebody who in your appreciation of her qualities shows you possess the same qualities within yourself or at least strive for them. You are a good person. A genuine person. You are a Swiftie and the best kind and we appreciate you in our ranks. ❤❤❤
My fav Taylor speech is When she was awarded Woman of the decade at Billboard event
Your reaction is perfect for this Luke. I never got to watch the whole speech at once. Just bits and pieces here and there so this was very nice. Thanks for reacting. 🫶🏼
You will be AMAZED at the love you will feel at the eras show. I couldn’t believe the warmth and acceptance from the entire crowd. Everyone was talking to each other like they’d been best friends for years. There was an undeniable sense of community that I’ve never experienced before it was so beautiful and I can’t wait to hear about your experience there!! ❤❤❤
Graham Norton just released a video called "EVERY Taylor Swift Interview | Eras Marathon | The Graham Norton Show". It's 36 minutes long and it might be a great one to react to.
Omg!!!
It is amazing. Graham loves Taylor and she always seems to have the best time on his show. I hope that Luke reacts to it.
Oh definitely got to check it out 💯💯
Speaking of speeches by Taylor.. you should absolutely check out her acceptance speech for Billboards Woman of the Decade.. it was epic!
The Story of Us is right up your alley.
I always love your genuine reactions, whether you just sit and listen, or react. Like you said, genuine.
In the US, a Commencement is the awarding of degrees to a graduating class of students.
Honestly, I get what you mean. I hate how teenage-me thought nothing of girls' or women's outfits or makeup, like it was just normal for them to look like that and came easily to them. I seriously underrated the amount of work and time they put into how they look in public, and honestly, I still underrate it a bit.
Taylor is such an amazing speaker. The fun part of this is going back and watching after Midnights was announced and released and hearing her weaving lyrics from some of those songs into her speech. I can't remember if you have reacted to You're On Your Own Kid but if you have not, I would definitely suggest that one.
This will sound odd because I obviously don't personally know either you or Taylor but honestly I feel you are both extremely genuine people which is why you both resonate with all of us so much. It's so refreshing seeing a person do what they love and truly appreciate it. 💜💜💜
Omg ive never seen this,im ashamed for not knowing about this but to be fair ive only been a swiftie for just over a yr im 61 an always thought taylor was singing for a younger generation, but im going to watch it later again uninterrupted,,im actually crying here shes frickin awesome..🏴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🏴
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your channel but I want to say I’ve been here for every single Taylor video you’ve posted and you’re for sure my favorite person on this platform. You’re such a genuinely great man and dad that everyone should aspire to me more like and I’ll continue watching as long as you post 🫶🏻🫶🏻
You're so very sweet!! Thank you ❤
@taylornation has to see you!! What a genuine, kind, well spoken person. Not only do you reflect on what Taylor says, but you also add your own experiences, and as a result, I think we all learn important life lessons as well. Thanks Luke
I’m a doctor now, so I know how breathing works. Is the funniest part of her speech!
😂
I’m always so curious how Carla feels when you walk out of the room after reacting to Taylor and you’re crying. 99% of the time lol. I vote, what ever your next TuesTay video is, CARLA JOINS. CAR-LA! CAR-LA!!
😂 Carla is a bit too camera shy these days sadly Jamie ❤
It shows growth that you judge your past self, and your past self did the best he could with what he knew at the time. How you treat your wife is what matters. You’re obviously setting a great example for your boys.
This whole video warmed my heart and brought a lot of hope to my day. Thank you!
Two minutes in and I’m crying.
Right, me too!!
Imagine having gotten to see it in person!! 💜💜
@@MySunshine0315 she’s a very special young woman.
Taylor seems to have eidetic memory which also means she has perfect pitch. What she has done with these gifts is phenomenol and amazing.
Please react to the footage of Travis with Taylor at the Eras tour London night 3, I was there and it was unbelievable, everyone was cheering, screaming, laughing and just in awe they shared it with us. I for one will never forget those couple of minutes and sharing it with my girls was just the BEST 'we were there moment', just EPIC 💜
Absolutely! It was epic !
Omg!! I’m so happy you got to see that particular show Live!!!
@@crystalkadletc1944it was beyond awesome 💜
You’re so insanely lucky to have experienced that moment!!!
I was in the car with my mom when I saw the first clip on instagram. I shrieked and nearly caused her to crash the car! Mind you we were just leaving my birthday lunch so I considered it my personal birthday gift from Taylor. I’m in my late 50’s and mom is nearly 80 and we’re both massive Swifties in the last year or so. We became gonso obsessed that we even made ornaments and decorated a Tay & Trav Xmas tree together….starting in September (we were that convinced that Travis was End Game). It’s been a great bonding experience!
@@texasseastarI know, it was just a wtf moment hearing the screams as people realised and just looking at my daughter's going is this real. Funny thing is I wanted Death by a thousand cuts or ThanK you aIMee as the surprise songs which she did the previous nights, my daughter asked if getting Travis was worth their loss, and yes, yes it absolutely was 😊
you are the light your family needed,you are the light 😊
I’ve been around for a bit on your channel, but I’ve just been kinda lurking in the background. Just wanted to come out of my lurk-mode to say how much I appreciate your openness and kindhearted nature, Luke. You brought me to tears with this one. It is so easy to look back on our lives with regret and anger at ourselves for choices that we made and paths we didn’t take. The truth is we just never know what is in front of us and how it will shape us. Like Taylor said, we’re going to make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean we have completely failed. Keep shining your light, all you beautiful souls 🩷
Thank you for your kind comment! Much love!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for allowing yourself to be so open and honest with us. You have no idea the gift that you are; that you give us. Thank you for everything you’ve done to get you to this point. 😊 Life is short, our children are young for a short time, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t need anyone after a certain age. We’ll need each other and our children even more as we age and get more wise.
Yes! She is truly a Doctor. Doctor Taylor Allison Swift. Crazy, right? A true mastermind with a PhD! 🥰💖
She is such an eloquent and extremely articulate woman who just gave one of the most vulnerable, inspiring and honest commencement speech to the very lucky graduates of the NYU C/O ‘22. She could have been anything in life because she seems that she would continue to try anything until she is fluent and successful in that field. She’s just so damn precious. She was born to be on a stadium stage because she really does sparkle. ❤✨
😢😭
We are ALL special...and we are so...Sooooo Lucky to b on this planet at the same time, connecting from our love of music 🫶
Luke, we’re grateful to you too, for the hours you put in to entertaining us, so it’s mutual, which is a good thing. Keep doing what you’re doing, ‘cos you’re doing it right. Oh and yes, Taylor is special, a rare gift to millions, a kind person who gives a damn! Love from Annie, in sunny Cornwall, UK🙂🌸
I feel the same about being totally different to family and feeling adopted. I don't talk to my family now as our morals and opinions are completely different. It's always hard when you see everyone else close to family, but the "you're on your own kid" song really helped me realise that being proud of myself and raising myself is more than enough, and that's what made me so emotional about her speech here.
Also to add I have my own husband and daughter now and although i suffer from Cptsd, adhd and depression, things really have become better and I know i'm giving my daughter everything she needs to feel secure
Taylor is truly the best artist on earth. What a model she is. It's insane.
Your channel is a breath of fresh air for me. When I come here, for Taylor or other videos, I can forget about this crazy world we live on. Cheers
Luke, you're so honest and all the support and love you get is so well-deserved!!! ✨
I’ve been feeling so alone, lost, hating myself, like a failure and I’ve been texting the suic*de hotline for hours. But watching you and Taylor as I lay in bed at 3pm crying, has given me such comfort, and I don’t think you two will ever know how life saving that can be. Thank you💗
Awww! My unsolicited advice LOL is to get outside, go somewhere random and just say hi to someone ❤ it always helps me to get out of my house when I'm feeling down.
Please dont ever give up. You matter more than you know ❤❤
@@melissadavis4981 thank you! Just took you’re advice and got out :)
@@JuneHeinssen thanks so much💗💗
I have been where you are and I hope you know that the world needs you. You matter. Get yourself help so you can continue to light up the world for a very long time. ❤
Luke, just keep remaining as you, and we are always going to be here right along with you. I originally started watching your channel when you started your country reactions to the vocal group Home Free. I feel that I have grown with you, whether, their music, Taylor, your recent AGT reactions and that is because you are genuine. Yes, you are a simple man just navigating life the best that you can for you and your family, and so are all of us. Taking things one day at a time and doing them to the best of our abilities. I feel that a lot of us are more together in this community that you built, as a family than (like you) with our own flesh and blood relatives. I am honored to be a part of your circle and everyone here. ❤
Your reactions to tay are amazing and you are a true human who has a heart
My friend took a gap year and so she graduated NYU in 2023. I can’t even mention it bc she gets so upset she missed the opportunity to graduate with THE Taylor Alison Swift. I was also upset bc I could’ve seen Taylor at my friends graduation💔 I kinda made her a swifite so it’s essentially my fault how heartbroken we are over this😭
Oh no!
Even though it's not the same, whenever things like this happen to me I always think that now I have a story to share. Even though it must be sad maybe one day it can be a story you just laugh about with your friend ❤ much love❤
I just realized that Taylor said in this speech that she wrote and recorded *11 albums.* Obviously, we assumed that she was talking about the two re-records as well, but all of those songs were already written, she just had to re-record them. However, she made it known that she wrote Midnights and TTPD at the same time in 2022. I think she was talking about THOSE albums, not the re-records
Midnights and TTPD weren’t written at the same time, or done at this point. A good chunk of songs on TTPD are about things that hadn’t even happened yet at that point
@@Hey_Jamie I know they weren’t done, but Midnights came out in 2022 and Taylor said when she announced TTPD that it was an album she’s been working on and excited to announce for 2 years, and in 2024 that means she started it in 2022. Neither were finished, but I think they were both started (and Midnights was almost done)
Love this speech. And don’t be too hard on young Luke. The man you are now and what your sons learn from you is more important.
Love this speech, love Dr. Taylor Alison Swift, love Luke 🩷🫶
So glad you turned out the way you did, no shame to your family bc I don’t know them, but you’re such a kind and genuine person I am grateful you’re who you are, and grateful you’ve joined the Swifties!!
She made that speech without notes or teleprompter.
HERE! my suggestion from last week 💛 YAYY love this video!
We’ve been requesting it for months! Calm down. You’re being too loud.
Do billboard woman of the decade next pleaseeee
I love this Speech , it means so much so mee but it wasn't until afterwards when you talked about your Life now when it made me cry ❤️🫠😭
I'll say it in every comment. You are wonderful and we cherish you! The way you speak about women is so refreshing.
I was a gymnast in the late 90s early 00s and the "style" at the time was to look like a Russian gymnast or previous USSR gymnast (we now know they were starved). I was a 90lb teenager and I was constantly told my body didn't measure up. I struggled a little with eating disorders. Not majorly thankfully. I do remember trying on a swimsuit once and being thrilled that I was so thin that my ribs and hip bones stuck out. My mom took one look at me and told me I was not healthy. She got me back on track thankfully. That's how we all thought of ourselves back then. Gymnasts anyway.
But now I'm all grown up with a husband who thinks I'm beautiful all the time. And I'm trying to teach my children that all bodies are beautiful and to teach them to learn to love the body they've got. ❤
You sound like such an incredibly strong person!
Your children have one exceptional role model to look up to! They're very lucky ❤❤
... perfect reaction luke...
... wonderfully warm reactions and lovely sharing from you - thank you for the vulnerability... ❤
You are genuinely a good man
This is my first time ever seeing the whole thing and it's so touching!!! It's a tear jerker for sure.
I also want to request that you listen to Last Kiss (Taylor's Version) off of her Speak Now album. Taylor has said that it's the saddest song she's ever written and it's one of my favorites.
I loved this! I haven’t heard the full speech so it was nice to be able to hear it!
19:00 and on, is so real !
So glad you saw this! She said so many great things and in true Taylor form.....left easter eggs. Basically said the lyrics to Labyrinth from Midnights.
Thank you for sharing your time with us reacting to these videos!!! 🥰
You made my Tuesdays and Fridays and it's so exciting your notifications!!! 🫶
Luke WOW can you believe last week was INSANE especially the first 3 Eras Tour shows in London, England? I just can't wait for your reaction when you attend and watch her live this August 2024! And I know you were thrilled and in awe of her NYU speech!
I’m so excited for your first million followers! You will get there faster than you think. I am her for your beautiful journey. We all love you Luke!❤
Seems like a dream, who knows, much love ❤❤
Luke, you’re lovely, your comments, reflections are always welcome!
You are such a special person, my hope for you is that you will believe that about yourself. I enjoy Taylor Swift reactions a lot, and you are my favorite to watch. I am so glad that you decided to check out that first video and become part of our community of swifties. So happy for you, that you have a lovely family and get to experience their lives every day.
This is an excellent choice for TuesTay!. Tbh I've never watched the whole thing, just a small part of her speech, so this is a good opportunity for me to watch it
as much as i think your perspective on forgiveness is a very wise response, I also think that "forgiveness" and simply moving on aren't always one in the same. As taylor has said "you don't have to forgive, just move on." I think that holding resentment, and anger, is normal, as long as it isn't overtaking you. Remember it's okay to care for yourself first! I loved this video, and I admire how sincere you are with your emotions !
Yes, you're correct. Young girls went through a lot back then. Thank you for recognizing that now. :)
I love her so much it breaks my heart, she’s such a down to earth kind of person
Luke, you are such a good and wholesome person. I am so glad I’ve found your video of reacting to Taylor for the first time. You’re such a beautiful soul.
Pretty sure we all wanted you to react to this more for you rather than for us. Haha no apologies needed for the quietness. :)
I've been waiting for this one!
Hey thanks for doing this. I had seen Taylor’s speech before but not the introduction. She’s so brilliant and wonderful. She can make me laugh and cry all at the same time like no one else I know or have ever known. ❤
A lovely , genuine reaction. Thanks for sharing.
I so agree, she’s so comforting and calming. A song for every emotion and a story or speech from the heart. ❤️
I always get emotional through her speeches. She's so well-spoken!!! 👏
I LOVE watching you! Your reactions are so beautiful & pure!!! ❤
Oh hell yes so here for this hollup lemme grab a snack
Great job, Your children will love you for the rest of their life.
You're awesome!
You should check out Wonderland (Taylor's Version) and Sweeter Than Fiction next TuesTay, they're 2 of the few songs you have left from 1989
PS: I'm still not sure if I should leave TuesTay suggestions on the previous TuesTay (Tuesday) or the previous Taylor reaction (Friday) XD I'll just keep recommending these two and see if it works
Luke, your opinions on things, even as “an outsider” are so beautiful and heartfelt. Your sons and wife are so lucky to have you.
If your “birth” family (as opposed to the family you and your wife made) is disappointed in the man that you have become, I am sorely disappointed in them.
In much happier requests: would you ever consider introducing us to Luna? I bet she’s an adorable little noodle. 🐍
At 45:22, "we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep...breathe out"
This was still five months before Midnights (and Labyrinth) were released. No one at the time realized the Easter Egg they were given.
