  • Hey everyone, today we have something very special to react to. Taylor Swift's 10-minute version of "All Too Well," and I couldn't be more excited. So, let's dive right into it!
    This song truly takes us on an emotional rollercoaster. From the very first chord, you can feel the intensity building up. The lyrics are so heartfelt and raw, she's pouring her heart out.
    The storytelling in this song is just incredible. Taylor has a way of painting vivid pictures with her words, making us feel all the pain and longing she experienced during that time. And those powerful metaphors? They hit you right in the gut.
    I have to talk about that bridge. It's a masterpiece. The way she captures the aftermath of a breakup is so hauntingly beautiful. You can almost feel the yearning for closure, the desire to let go but still holding on to those memories.
    Taylor's vocals in this version are just mesmerizing. You can feel every ounce of pain and vulnerability. It's like she's singing directly to your soul, making you feel everything she felt.
    The fact that she released this 10-minute version shows her dedication to her art and her commitment to telling her story. It's a testament to her growth as a songwriter and her connection with her fans.
    "All Too Well - Taylor's Version" is a masterpiece. It's an emotional journey that leaves you breathless and wanting more. Taylor's vulnerability and authenticity shine through every lyric and every note.

    “It’s almost like her music forces me to look in the mirror sometimes.”
    Man, you just got the nail on the head right there. I honestly think that’s a big part of why a lot of men won’t even give her a chance. Because enough people say that exactly and since she’s talking about her break ups as a heterosexual woman, she’s talking about men. That can be super confronting, especially when you’ve been taught toxic masculinity.

    I've been looking for a reaction to this song where a man acknowledged it made him think. I'm late to the party. A 60ish white guy married 25+ years who happened to watch Taylor's NPR Tiny Desk set and found this song (short version). I've watched so many reaction videos. The ones with young women holding hands while they listen to the long version for the first time, terrified, knowing it will stab them with sadness. Your reaction video is the first one by a man that said it made him look in the mirror. I appreciate that. The song and the reaction videos with real emotions has me wondering what I can do better.

      ⁠​⁠@@brutustantheiii8477I hope most men don’t feel that way. Of course, any virtue taken to an extreme can make a person of any gender a doormat. But this idea that it’s emasculating to ever be compassionate is so destructive. Women in fact look to see men be compassionate at least in moments when it’s really called for. A man incapable of compassion is a toxic bully.

    This song took me back 30 years into the past during an abusive relationship. I lived that lyric that goes "and I'd forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to". After a narcissist hurts you and abuses you they come back and "hoover" you. Drawing you back into that manipulative relationship with them again telling you they have changed. Then after you give them another chance they start the same gaslighting, abusive, manipulative behavior. Thats where that song took me.

    Swifties: I know you will get this. One of the reasons Taylor’s songs are so powerful are that the stories are so specific and personal that you just know they really happened to her. Yet, at the same time, they are universal- they speak to experiences we have all had. We’ve all had that fight where he tosses the car keys; we’ve all kept that one thing that smells like our lover. That scene where they are dancing in the kitchen- that’s that good memory that hurts way worse than any of the bad ones because you know you can never get that feeling back. That one hits me the worst because I relate so hard. It’s like she found just the right words to describe what happened to ME. (To all of us.). This is a perfect song.

    "Casually cruel in the name of being honest" is my favorite line! So many exes have used the "im just being honest" excuse to ignore the affect their choices have on others. As if being honest is a shield that means no one is allowed to be upset by what they say. And that their need to be honest is always the most important aspect of every conversation. Death by a Thousand Cuts or Cardigan are great if you want to explore more top-tier lyrics

    The exact lyric is "so casually cruel in the name of being honest". And it's brilliant in more ways than one, but the word 'casually' brings a lot to the table for the meaning of this particular line. Cause that tells us that it's not just that he's cruel, it tells us that it's EASY for him, this cruelty comes easily to him, it's casual, it's a normal thing. It tells us this behavior isn't an exception, it's something that happens regularly enough that he's casual about it. And that hurts so much worse sometimes. (I watch a lot of English Teacher KP, she's awesome).

    I think you just nailed why some men "hate Taylor Swift": she sings from a women's viewpoint, and some men feel attacked by that. That being said, she is singing here about a narcissist, and you by definition are NOT a narcissist, because narcissists have no ability to look inward and examine their behavior. Thank you for being introspective and more importantly just recognizing this masterpiece. It turns out that a person doesn't have to look like Bob Marley, Jon Batiste, or Paul McCartney to be a musical genius; young, pretty women can be musical geniuses too. 😉

    This was one of the most enjoyable reactions. It's always nice to see a man react to Taylor with honesty & emotion. There is so much to unpack in this song, and your connection to the lyrics was palpable. There's a lot of toxic masculinity to blame for men not liking Taylor Swift, and it's refreshing to see you reject that and connect emotionally to the song. You're right -- her music is like therapy - it holds up a mirror and makes you feel your feelings.
    As for a few live performances:
    Lover in Paris concert (Cornelia Street, Death By a Thousand Cuts, Daylight)
    Grammy Museum 2015 - (Blank Space, Wildest Dreams, and Out of the Woods)
    Super Saturday Night concert (all of it but particularly Holy Ground & I Don't Wanna Live Forever (acoustic)

    Aside from that, I'd recommend Cold As You as a song from her first album it's track 5 and it's incredibly emotionally and poetically well written imo but all her music is good imo so i'm a little biased lol

    It's hard to go wrong with any live performances, it just depends what you like. If you want just Taylor and an instrument she has an NPR Tiny Desk concert on RUclips. If you prefer the big flashy concert spectacle the reputation stadium tour is on Netflix and there are clips of the 1989 world tour on RUclips. Also the Eras Tour digital rental drops 12/13. So you have lots of options. There are also clips of her songwriting process and behind the scenes on her music videos if any of that interests you.
