@SeanStaxxMusic “Stolen lullabies” She considers her songs “her babies” because she writes all of her own songs. The sale of her masters was why Taylor said “I wrote them the first time, I can just re-write them”. She did. That’s why we now have “Taylor’s Versions” so Scooter Braun doesn’t make even a penny off of her. She made sure to tell all of her 200M fans about Taylor’s Version and we only listen to her versions. She didn’t go with grace. She fought back like the genius BOSS and successful entrepreneur that she is.
This is about Scott Borchetta from Big Machine Records, she had been with him since she first started as a teen. She wanted to buy her music (6 albums), and Scott offered her that for every new album she made, she would get one old one back, essentially tying her to him for a long time. She said no deal and when her contract was up, she walked. Scott sold Big Machine Records with her music to Scooter Braun (song "Vigilante Sh!t"), whom Taylor detested, Scooter later bragged about owning Taylor Swift. The jewels Taylor gave Scott were the albums that went gold, platinum, and diamond. The stolen lullabies, her albums that were sold out from under her.
@@TheMaleLewinsky013 Yeah, but she promoted it as being all fictional, because she was kinda tired of writing autobiographical songs (or at least tired of the media always trying to guess what/who her lyrics are about), so she said that folklore was inspired by other people and characters from movies and books. But actually, they were about her life too, both of these things can be true, it's ambiguous ✨
@@TheMaleLewinsky013 It's track 5 (her most personal) & tho not stated directly who it's about, it is obvious. In Long Ponds, she tells the songs meaning & compares it to a messy divorce. The "stollen lullabies" line really eliminates further questioning. As well as the following lyrics: "I didn't have it in myself to go with grace" - Red (State of Grace) "You're the hero flying around saving face" - Speak Now (Superman) "And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake?" - Rep (old Taylor is dead) "Cursing my name" - Fearless (The Way I Loved You) "wishing I stayed"- 1989 (All You Had to Do Was Stay) "Look at how my tears ricochet"- Debut (Teardrops on my Guitar)
This actually ia about her former record label owner who sold her music to Scooter Braun. He was like a father figure to her. The stones she refers to were the songs she made, some to throw in the vault, some to become hits. And the jewels he wore while he buried her were the awards she won during that time. She is so good in using metephors.
It’s really a horrible thing he did for 300 million. Scooter repped Kanye. And they wanted to ruin Taylor and make money doing it. It’s so evil Well let’s see Scooter is divorced and most of his clients have left him Kanye is sadly actually crazy Scott was just in a car accident And Taylor is flourishing Evil greedy men don’t do well against Taylor ❤
This is about Scott Borchetta selling her records, (jewels) to Scooter Braun...this is shortly before she started re-recording her records, Taylor's Version.
The general perception of Taylor Swift is that she only writes about her ex. I don't think anyone should criticize you because we all consume the same media. A little dip into her musical realm will definitely clear your doubts. 😊
So it hasn’t officially been confirmed by anyone but I believe My Tears Ricochet is about her stolen lullabies and each line of the first chorus was taken from a song from each stolen album!! “i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace”- Red (State of Grace) “you’re the hero flying around saving face”- Speak Now (Superman) “and if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?”- rep (LWYMMD/old Taylor is dead) “cursing my name”- Fearless (The Way I Loved You) “wishing I stayed”- 1989 (All You Had to Do Was Stay) “look at how my tears ricochet”- Debut (Teardrops on my Guitar)
Sean went straight into the saddest song from her Folklore album 😂 it’s a sad and soft sound album but definitely amazing lyrically This song to me is about the fact that even if they break up and her soul dies from sadness he will feel the pain of it too because of how real and pure her love was
The lyrics are ambiguous and your analysis was great, but Taylor personally said that she wrote the song like a letter to her former record label owner, Scott Borcheta, and the lyrics "And when you can't sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies" - "stolen lullabies" refer to her music being "stolen" by this new guy Scooter Braun who bought the label because he wanted to own Taylor Swift's music and didn't give her a chance to even buy it, and they were her songs that she wrote herself, or co-wrote with a producer. She was devastated. But her "tears ricochet" because these guys' plans of selling/owning Taylor's music didn't work, because she had a better plan - to re-record it all and take it back into her hands. So that's what it's about, but it's written in a poetic way and open for interpretation of the listeners.
and a part of that is that she owns copyrights to the songs --- and refuses to let the current owners use the music in ads or films; a big part of the value of the catalog. 💘 So all they got was radio and streaming income. Fans and radio use the TV's instead of the originals, and so Shamrock Holdings is suing Ithaca Holdings to reverse the sale.
@@robertthompson7242 I loved that Taylor and her team refused to allow her songs that Scooter and his cohorts bought to be used in commercials, movies, TV shows, etc. Once Taylor recorded Taylor's Versions of her songs, she started allowing her versions of songs to be used in commercials, movies, TV shows, etc. A lot of shows used her songs recently. Some movies did too. I saw a few commercials with her songs also. Good thing Taylor owned the publishing rights to her songs all along.
@@vidsorama2Ever hear the version of LWYMMD that came out for the British show? Taylor had her brother record it with Jack: Jack and the Dolphin Club or something (The Dolphin Club was a water park or swim center the Swift children were part of). Slowed down, and spooky for the murder/mystery.
You got it partly right, it’s just not about a romantic relationship, but a business relationship. Her label owned by Scott Borchetta sold her masters to someone else.
And he built the label on her success. She was his first contract, his most successful artist. When she says “you wear the same jewels that I gave you as your bury me” she’s talking about the gold, platinum and diamond records she made that made him rich, which he was literally selling to make himself richer and trashing her while he did it. They had had a good relationship for 13 years, all of her teen and young adult life, and she felt deeply betrayed.
Would love for you to react to the same song on her Folklore Long Pond Sessions version of My Tears Ricochet with intro to the song. Watching her sing this live with the emotion she expresses is so very moving...especially once you know it's about the betrayal by Scott Borchetta. Watching her version in the Eras Tour also is epic.
Even though you leaned more toward this being about a romantic relationship (I'm sure Swifties have tuned you in by now), you still had great analysis and conversation about it. I appreciate your attention to the lyrics. I think the live Eras Tour version of this would meet your expectation of the song going "further" -- it's intense.
I really need creators like this guy to do the research before they react to any Taylor Swift song, including my tears ricochet, because not every song of Taylor‘s is about an ex boyfriend or a past relationship. Taylor only has about 46 songs that are about an ex or past relationship in her whole entire catalog. This is about the betrayal that Taylor felt from her old label manager Scott Borchetta, selling Taylor‘s catalog not to her, but to Scooter Braun, who Taylor revealed in 2019 have been bullying her, using his clients Kanye & Justin Bieber, to bully her behind the scenes all these years. Taylor said that she & Scott Borchetta had “plenty of conversations about Scooter Braun, & any time the name Scooter Braun escaped her lips she was crying, so Scott Borchetta knew what he was doing to Taylor when he sold Taylor‘s masters to Scooter Braun, & not to her. Taylor signed to Scott Borchetta’s record label in 2006 and under big machine contract. She produced her first six albums herself title debut, aka Taylor Swift (2006), Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010), RED (2012), 1989 (2014), and reputation, (2017). When Taylor says “you wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me”, the jewels are her first 6 albums. Taylor felt this betrayal deeply, because Scott was like a father figure to her.
I like it when newbies react blindly to the songs as they’re presented, it’s refreshing to see objective takes on these existing art pieces. Like all art, there is no one true meaning. What the observer sees and takes from their interaction with the piece, is their valid and worthwhile interpretation. Taylor doesn’t publish her songs just to have her literal inspiration be the only thing heard, but for everyone who listens to get and take from the songs what they will. Because so many people can find connections, her art speaks to an incredible variety of people, and has reach far outside her expected fan demographics.
@@susansather7763 there is a literal meaning, especially when she explains what and who this song is about any song that she doesn’t come out and explain what it’s about I think it’s open for interpretation. Maybe I’m the only one who does this but when I hear a new song I look up what it’s about or what inspired it.
@@SeanStaxxMusic Yeah Taylor posted about it on her Tumblr and then her Instagram. She even did an interview speaking about it I think with good morning America. Scott “Scooter” Braun purchased her music catalog for 300 million. It’s been sold to another company now but as a label executive/founder how are you going to ignore your biggest musical act pleas to buy their music back and say “No, I’m gonna sell your music to the guy who’s been trying to ruin your life.”
“Stolen lullabies” She considers her songs “her babies” because she writes all of her own songs. The sale of her masters was why Taylor said “I wrote them the first time, I can just re-write them”.

I hope you also watch her live performances (and, if so, I hope you will tell us what you think of those). If you fail to see her live performances and music videos, then you are missing a lot of what makes Taylor so iconic. For this song, there are now two excellent live performances: My Tears Ricochet (Long Pond Sessions) ruclips.net/video/Idjs-hw7Spg/видео.html Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour (My Tears Ricochet 4K performance with lyrics) ruclips.net/video/3-Qiuv4eeMI/видео.html For another song request, here is one you should find interesting: Taylor Swift - "False God" (Live on Saturday Night Live / 2019) ruclips.net/video/kjD3LoXp-Pw/видео.html
As already noted in many comments below....about Scott Borchetta selling to Scooter Braun.. You're right about her fighting back...by re-recording her 6 albums from Big Machine before signing with new record label. There are 2 Albums left to re-record (Reupation and her Debut Album). Anything that says "Taylor's Version " is her re-record and she owns them.
How come people always think it's about an ex boyfriend. This album is mostly fictional with Taylor influences but this song is about her prior record label head guy Scott Borchetta. These songs are not supposed to be a bigger sound. If know Folklore, it is not a big loud music album. I don't think you understand how this album supposed to be. Nor everything has to be louder.
That’s her public perception. When the media or pop culture talks about Taylor and her music it’s kind of a meme with the love stories and relationships. After doing some reactions though, I’ve found you get a lot of different sides of her!
I love your review! I’m not technically educated as you are, so this song hit me in a good way. I’m happy that I could enjoy the song for it being just the way it is and not over critical due to education/experience. Having said that, I love how you could point out what you like but say, in a respectful way, it’s not for me. Bravo!👏🏼
You were so very wrong about the meaning of this song. Not every Taylor song is about an ex love relationship. I see that others have already explained that this song is about her former record label owner selling the label and the masters of her first 6 albums to a horrible person who had bullied Taylor for years. You need to reset your mindset for your preconceived notions of Taylor.
Honestly don’t blame him anyone who isn’t a swiftie and doesn’t know the problems she’s had to face would obviously think this is about a broken relationship
