She went from "will you still love me when I'm nothing new?" to "and when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite."

Forever Winter is actually about a Taylor's friend Jeff Lang who committed suicide after suffering from drug overdose and mental health illness. He died two weeks after Speak Now came out and taylor dedicated the award she won for the album to him saying she sang the song at his friend's funeral day before BMI awards.
Forever Winter is speculated to be about Taylor’s old friend Jeff Lang who passed away in 2010. She use to share her music with him before it even went out to public to get his opinion. 😢 she sang during his funeral and won an award the next day and dedicated it to him.
OK, this is a month old comment, but I'll just skip that. I'm Chilean. As a country, we hug, kiss, would probably grab each other's arms in a similar scenario with the same ease and might occasionally push each other in a soft way. The tender hitting of the arms seems pretty normal too. If something exciting were to happen to me or a friend, I would be grabbing her arm and swaying us in the craziest way. Yep, we are a fun crowd
Your friends are real ones coming in with all the lyrics. This seems like such a beautiful group of friends experiencing a wonderful album together, thank you for letting us be part of this
This makes me want to take a trip to Australia just to sit with all of you sipping coffee .....like were on a late night show haha and listen to the next release.

Nothing New breaks my heart because she wrote this before the whole TS is over party debacle after 1989. So she was already worried about how long people would "allow" her to be successful, a concept she mentioned in Miss Americana too, and then people tore her down in exactly the way she feared in Nothing New.

And remember that Scott and the management of her label required her to have a certain number of "country-sounding" songs and so they just decided to convert it to the country sound we all grown to know in the first record.

About the “Fuck the patriarchy” lyric, someone pointed out that it’s probably supposed to be that the keychain had the words “Fuck the patriarchy” instead of it being said by Taylor or Jake. So it brings out his false hipster feminism , and that keychain is so opposite to how he’s treating a woman. I think that’s a very interesting narrative to take too since he’s really painted as a hipster-indie-too-cool-to-try-to-impress-your-dad energy.
That's why it's in quotations. "Fuck the patriarchy" keychain. That he's tossing to her, making her pick up. Hence, the opposite action to the words. My god some people are dense lol
All The Artsy crawl back under the rock you came from buddy. There are two perfectly acceptable explanations for the lyric. It could either be a direct quote from a person or an inscription on the keychain. This channel is a happy place where people come to exchange ideas, not throw insults around.
@@cmcm4204 "And you were tossing me the car keys Fuck the patriarchy (out of context, just said by... someone, i guess) Keychain on the ground" Suuuure that makes sense
I think the reason that Girl at Home was done different was maybe it was how Taylor originally imagined it to be. She never said it so this is all from pure assumption but from what I remember Girl at Home (2012) felt very unfinished honestly. It's also amazing that this just proves how through these re-recordings, she just can do whatever she wants.
I think she’s said before that Girl At Home stolen version was a demo? Maybe she told Scott she wanted to make it poppy and he said no so she just used the demo! Maybe that’s why it was on the deluxe not the standard because she wasn’t super happy with it?
This album is just like nostalgia bottled for me, it was such an overwhelming experience hearing Taylor's versions of the songs that I listened to during my teenage years
It's actually crazy how with Nothing New the allusions totally fit with Olivia Rodrigo even though the song was written years ago (as seen in the Lover diaries)
As someone who struggles with mental health and has had a really rough year where I wanted to leave more times than I can count, Forever Winter makes me absolutely bawl . . . I know it may sound corny, but when I hear her say "please don't go" it feels like it's directed at me. It makes me remember that there are people who'd miss me, who'd fall to pieces on the floor if I left. It reminds me that I'm not just fighting for me and my future self, but my brothers, my mother, my dogs, and everyone who loves me as well. My favorite vault track by far
@@andweoop3254 Thank you for your well wishes, blessadly I am coming out the other side of what felt like an endless dark spell. Every day gets just bit brighter. And to anyone who stumbles upon this comment keep fighting for your future self - you will always be grateful you did. I certainly am.
This album captured Taylor's true potential as an artist- lyrically and from a production standpoint. The re-release proves who she was always meant to be and now IS.
I still can not get over how perfect All Too Well 10 minutes is. It is the WHOLE PACKAGE. I've listened to it practically on repeat all week. And isn't it amazing how it doesn't FEEL like a 10 minute song?!
I love that the all too wells have different sounds. It gives the five minute version it's own moment and makes sure that it doesn't get lost under the ten minute version. She's a genius
Do you know that Maya wrote most of the lyrics herself on a blog about Ronans journey? Taylor was so touched by her words that she decided to make a song out of it and Maya is listed as a songwriter for this one.
the thing i like about this reaction is that y’all embraced the slight differences in some songs. Some reactors were like “It DoEsnT SOuNd ThE SaMe!” and i was like… yeah, it’s been almost a decade. So thank you for allowing the re-recordings to live their own lives without holding them completely to the originals.
1:16:57 The swinging arms chorus when Bonny is ~enjoying~ and Emily is ~processing~ is a big mood. Now I can't get a hypothetical, slightly slower, more strings version of Message In A Bottle by The Corrs out of my brain Bonny!!! Amazing call 🤩 x
The fact that Taylor featured phoebe on a song that should’ve been on the original album….. she’s trying to kill me. It’s just too offensive and iconic and rude. So excited for this!
I love the Lucky one but Nothing New feels so much more personal, in terms of references and now looking in hindsight how things have played out for her... It's my favourite track from vault as well
@@chatsandreacts I also immediately thought about Olivia, so so weird she did not post anything regarding Red on her social media, radio silence, quite sad, wish she can still be herself and spontaneous, despite entourage and pressure
I'll twist the knife about Ronan a little more, but the lyrics where actually composed using quotes from the blog Ronan's mother wrote (and is still writing to this day) where she is writing directly TO Ronan... And then Taylor credited Maya as co-writer... So yeah 😅😭
And to make it even harder the lyric video she released for Taylor’s version is photo clips of Ronan and his family. Really didn’t need to cry that much when it came up but there was no possible way not to.
I think part of why her voice sounds so incredible on these recordings is because, unlike when she first recorded them, she has been performing these songs for almost a decade. She knows how the smallest of changes can impact the listener and how to perform the intricacies of each line in the most superior way. Practice makes even better than perfect ✨❤️
I love how it went from “I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ‘cause he never did” with Begin Again to “I was never good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes…” in All Too Well (10 min)
@@phoebepitman2025 it might be her high school friend, he passed away from a drug overdose, she mentions him in her bmi award. we won't know for sure, it could even be about her brother
@@livbarberr They met on the kids choice awards (March 31st, 2012). It was rumored that they were interested in each other after that, and started talking (not quite dating, but yeah). Then some photos of Harry kissing another girl were leaked. So Taylor called off whatever was happening between them (hence "I knew you were trouble" was created, and yes that one is about him bc the guy in the mv has a ship tattoo). So yeah, I think "the very first night" is about Harry, but at the very beginning of their relationship.
It’s not Harry; this is about Jake. Back when Jake Taylor dated he flew her out to London, and they had a romantic hotel date in London. Harry and Taylor only dated later in late 2012 the album was already done then.
@@keyshlanarvaez6921 This isn’t true though. In that same article (Vanity Fair) his representative and friend, Ben, denies those claims. The “source” in that quote said, “their hands were up in each other’s hair” but when you look up the photos, there are 0 photos with Harry’s hands in a models hair, or hers in his. What debunks this as well is after KCA’s, One Direction flew out to Saturday Night Live, located in NY. Taylor flew out too and was there the same week as One Direction, but instead was spending time with Dianna, some singer-guy whomever it was, and Emma Stone. She never visited Harry. If we believe those rumours, then that means Taylor dated Harry for only 1-week, or actually 3-4 days realistically as soon as they met. It just doesn’t make much sense.
I love how in the beginning of forever winter you both perfectly depict the dual nature of the song, Em worried because of the lyrics and bon just vibing to the production
How beautiful is it that Taylor and Ed wrote Ran together as their first song as new friends ten years ago and now they’re still close friends ten years later and they finally released this song 🥺❤️
I believe Forever Winter is about her friend Jeff Lang who died right after Speak Now released. She sang at his funeral the day before she won BMI Country Songwriter of the Year. ruclips.net/video/zp1peBYUT00/видео.html For context, he died in November and her 21st B-Day was a month later.
I love nothing new it epitomises Taylor’s emotional and social intelligence not to mention her musical ability! It also reminds me of this quote from a book that stuck with me about the viciousness of people -“they’re gonna bleed you out till your nothing, and then they’re gonna ask how you died”
14:26 Wait, was that “Taylor Swift knows who we are” because she gave us all the 10 minute version of All Too Well that we never knew just how desperately we needed, or did I miss her acknowledging you two somewhere?!? 😱👏 x
Ahh thank you for letting me know, just found the TikTok! That's one of my faaavourite moments of their folklore reaction video so I can't *believe* Taylor saw it. So happy for you two!! 😻 x
Forever winter is about Jeff lang, one of Taylor’s friend who overdosed after speak now was released hence the lyrics, “all this time I didn’t know, you were breaking down”
I don't even know that it was Taylor deciding "the world's not ready" for the "f*ck the patriarchy" line; If I had to guess I would say the label pressured her to not include it because they wanted to maintain her "good girl" image. I think she really had to censor herself in a lot of ways because of that. And I 100% believe it was in the original because I think Jake probably genuinely had a "F*ck the Patriarchy" keychain because that was the persona he presented to the world but wasn't really living it in their relationship, and I think that's the whole point of that line.
Watching in Nov 2022... I discovered you two a few days ago while digging deeper into the midnighTS tracks. I have to say that you two are my new digital besties (which I need because I live alone). You two are so fun, sweet, positively beautiful, and knowledgeable about music, music production, Taylor Swift, lore and lyric... It is OFFENSIVE how much you know about our beloved Queen's career and music. I'm so proud of you for putting together this wonderful channel with truly amazing videos. So much here to enjoy. Excellent editing!! If you aren't rich 🤑 yet from all these skills, you should be. 💜💜💜
In the very first night, it says “they don’t know about the night in the hotel” and I immediately thought of 1D’s song perfect which is suspected being about Taylor from the line “if you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about, baby I’m perfect”, the music video takes place in a hotel room as well and describes that feeling that their love might crash and burn but feels perfect in the moment.

Bless you Bonny for editing this so quickly. Now I'm going to sit here and react to every song with both of you like I haven't already had a breakdown over my favorite album. I have no friends in real life who love Taylor so y'all are going to be my Swiftie friends. I also agree that the vault tracks on this album are better than Fearless for me. It's the best mix of what she wanted for this album and you can clearly see that she wanted to go full pop so badly. Now I'm dying for what we'll get from 1989 and reputation vault tracks.
The best thing about being a Swiftie and Taylor re-recording and re-releasing her albums again and listening to the songs we’ve heard a hundred times and freaking out about it
I'm not sure if you will read this but I just wanna say THANK YOU to your channel. Prior watching your reaction videos I was a casual listener of Taylor's music. But you taught me guys how beautiful her discography is, so thank you thank you and happy Red season!!❤️🧣🍁
Really love to see your reaction, the way you breakdown lyrics, research on the spot and able to find possible links to different songs she wrote, is unbelievable. It's like going through your favorite album with your people.
it’s insane how your reactions and insights made me appreciate this album even more! you all seem like really nice people to have around and i love your energyyy i’m so glad i found your channel, can’t wait to catch up on past taylor reactions🥺
Is one of my fav, alongside red, holy ground, I knew you were Trouble, WANGBT. though I care less for the rest, Red is not one of my fav albums but Gir at home TV stands up tall
@@JustJulie-cz8fs it’s literally on the same album as perfect “and if you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about” so it’s not out of the realm of possibility
I go back and watch all your videos literally everyday. They never get old. Idk you guys are genuinely the best RUclipsrs ever. I normally hate reaction type videos but when I found yours when you came out with your folklore reaction. Every single video is long but feels like a half an hour video because I’m so entertained. Love it x
HIII! new Swiftie here :) since the end of THIS February 2022!!!! Thanks to All too well 10 minutes version! I have always loved Taylor Swift wouldn’t consider myself a Swiftie as I love all genres of music! All too well 10 minute version had me hooked I instantly was a red TV stan!!! Since I have crawled down the rabbit hole own every single vinyl she’s ever released etc!!! Upon hearing the moment I knew after all too well 10 minutes to me it is also a masterpiece and Tells us Soooo much!!! Her poor little 21 year old broken heart! We’ve all been there as women even men with that much older person who dropped our damn hand !!! I would have to say the moment I knew is also one of my top five favorites along with all too well 10 minutes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I literally woke up from a dream this morning about you guys posting this video. I actually checked my phone as soon as I woke up! I love you guys! I listen to a few TS reactors, but you two are the best. I love your energy and genuine emotions ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful things about you two and having become a new and giant fan of yours is the level of excitement you have and how now when I hear these songs I see you and your joy, passion and excitement in them and it takes the songs to an even more incredible level. It’s like I now have some built in memories that tie me to the fandom and give me permission to be as into Taylor and her discography as I want. Thank you. ❤️ I can’t even find the right words to describe it. I hope somebody gets what I’m saying lol
Omg Ari is so cute!! She’s like why are y’all so excited? What’s going on? What’s happening? She’s excited because y’all are excited. I just can’t with her! I love her. Also Emily and Bonny y’all are ICONIC. Such a perfect representation of Swifties❤️
omg, just had a vision of Taylor doing a song dedicated to her incredible fans, and in the bridge there's you two saying "SO O F F E N S I V E" and "I C O N I C" you two are just ridiculously adorable, i can't cope.
Red re-recording is sooo iconic but imagine if Taylor collaborates with Harry Styles for 1989. Harry has always been respectful of Taylor after the breakup and I think they’re on good terms now.
I appreciate it so much that you post the full album reaction 🥺 thank you for taking the time to edit this video, I love to see the whole experience and not just the vault tracks reactions ❤️❤️
Bonny, you are a legend for editing this and cradling that speaker listening to the re-records. Edit: I appreciate that you all reacted to IBYTAM exactly the way I did at 1030 at night in my house. 🤯
The way I'm not able to watch a 1 hour and 45 min long lecture, but on the other hand, I have no problems with watching a 1 hour 45 min long reaction video from Bonny and Emily, AND I'M HERE FOR IT ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is so amazing!! was waiting for this ever since i finished my first listen of the album! you guys are so cute, love seeing some fellow aussie swifties
I’m so glad she re-recorded Ronan. The idea of scooter owning the rights to it makes me want to punch a wall
'offensive' 'fathomed' 'illegal' 'superior' and 'rude' are now daily adjectives in my life and i regularly feel the need to *emily scream*
I find myself saying "that is *so* offensive" all the time 😭
We need these words on some Merch
OMG CAN RELATE
i've added "offensive" and "superior" (both in their accent) to my vocabulary
Don’t forget ‘unwell’ !!
Do you guys like us reacting to the whole album or would you prefer just the vault songs? I hope you enjoy this video as I worked so hard on the editing to make it fun and entertaining even thought its long 🥰❤️
Love that it's the whole album! Thank you for taking the time to film your experience so we can share it with you 💓
we love that u post the whole thing and not just the vault tracks
love watching the whole thing! feels like listening along with friends, these 2 hour vids feel like 20 mins with you guys!
Whole album!!!! It’s the best seeing what you guys think about how it all sounds now!!!!
The whole albums!!
She went from "will you still love me when I'm nothing new?" to "and when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite."
such a great parallel omgggg i love this!!
Also the line in call it what you want to “loves me like I’m brand new.”

I think the "Girl at home" taylor's version was the actual sound Taylor envisioned it to be in the original album. And remember that Scott and the management of her label required her to have a certain number of "country-sounding" songs and so they just decided to convert it to the country sound we all grown to know in the first record.
taylor: "i bet you think about me"
swifties: GIRL YOU KNOW WE DOOOO
Funny thing, Ed Sheeran actually liked Run better than Everything Has Changed and he was so happy when Taylor asked him to re-record it he always felt that was their best collaboration
And I agree 🥰
Couldn't agree more!
Okay but describing the vocals as “crisp” is the most accurate ever. Like maccas sprite.
About the “Fuck the patriarchy” lyric, someone pointed out that it’s probably supposed to be that the keychain had the words “Fuck the patriarchy” instead of it being said by Taylor or Jake. So it brings out his false hipster feminism , and that keychain is so opposite to how he’s treating a woman. I think that’s a very interesting narrative to take too since he’s really painted as a hipster-indie-too-cool-to-try-to-impress-your-dad energy.
There are fuck the patriarchy keychains available on the site. I bought two 😂
that's what I thought too and in the short film he is throwing the key at her
That's why it's in quotations. "Fuck the patriarchy" keychain. That he's tossing to her, making her pick up. Hence, the opposite action to the words. My god some people are dense lol

Keychain on the ground"
Suuuure that makes sense
I think the reason that Girl at Home was done different was maybe it was how Taylor originally imagined it to be. She never said it so this is all from pure assumption but from what I remember Girl at Home (2012) felt very unfinished honestly. It's also amazing that this just proves how through these re-recordings, she just can do whatever she wants.
I think she’s said before that Girl At Home stolen version was a demo? Maybe she told Scott she wanted to make it poppy and he said no so she just used the demo! Maybe that’s why it was on the deluxe not the standard because she wasn’t super happy with it?
Nothing New: “Will you still want me when I’m nothing new?”
CIWYW: “Loves me like I’m brand new.”
This album is just like nostalgia bottled for me, it was such an overwhelming experience hearing Taylor's versions of the songs that I listened to during my teenage years
It's actually crazy how with Nothing New the allusions totally fit with Olivia Rodrigo even though the song was written years ago (as seen in the Lover diaries)
reminds me of ‘the lucky one’ as well. a young girl rising to fame and realizing she’s not happy.
CRAZY RIGHT
@Avery Jay thankfully the song was written way before Olivia got mainstream attention
As someone who struggles with mental health and has had a really rough year where I wanted to leave more times than I can count, Forever Winter makes me absolutely bawl . . . I know it may sound corny, but when I hear her say "please don't go" it feels like it's directed at me. It makes me remember that there are people who'd miss me, who'd fall to pieces on the floor if I left. It reminds me that I'm not just fighting for me and my future self, but my brothers, my mother, my dogs, and everyone who loves me as well. My favorite vault track by far
i hope ur doing well❤️❤️
@@andweoop3254 Thank you for your well wishes, blessadly I am coming out the other side of what felt like an endless dark spell. Every day gets just bit brighter. And to anyone who stumbles upon this comment keep fighting for your future self - you will always be grateful you did. I certainly am.
You matter. Stay.
@@jcs1090 I am trying my very hardest. Thank you so much for saying that
Same I think Forever Winter is the best vault track for me once I understand the lyrics deeper
This album captured Taylor's true potential as an artist- lyrically and from a production standpoint. The re-release proves who she was always meant to be and now IS.
Exactly. I feel like they (BMR) cut out a real, raw part of Taylor and its so maddening we missed out on it for years 😤
I still can not get over how perfect All Too Well 10 minutes is. It is the WHOLE PACKAGE. I've listened to it practically on repeat all week. And isn't it amazing how it doesn't FEEL like a 10 minute song?!
I love that the all too wells have different sounds. It gives the five minute version it's own moment and makes sure that it doesn't get lost under the ten minute version. She's a genius
Do you know that Maya wrote most of the lyrics herself on a blog about Ronans journey? Taylor was so touched by her words that she decided to make a song out of it and Maya is listed as a songwriter for this one.
I don't have any swifties in my life so you guys are really filling a hole in my heart
Yes, me too! It’s nice to be able to share my love with y’all.
I trick my friends to listen to taylor all the time and like 3 songs in their like wait a minute this is still taylor
“The last time” was everything that song walked so “exile” can run! And forever winter hits differently it’s so beautiful!!
I think we can all agree that Taylor swift and Jack Antonoff owns our asses at this point
Jack owns our bussy's
Add Aaron to that list too. The way I screamed when I saw him in IBYTAM MV
@@debishvebishwish4839 not me reading this as "the way I CREAMED when i saw him in IBYTAM MV" *slowly applies clown makeup*
UNCLE JACK AND GRANDPY AARON
the thing i like about this reaction is that y’all embraced the slight differences in some songs. Some reactors were like “It DoEsnT SOuNd ThE SaMe!” and i was like… yeah, it’s been almost a decade. So thank you for allowing the re-recordings to live their own lives without holding them completely to the originals.
Swifties on twitter are calling it trash because they say that some instruments don't sound the same 💀 those people are ridiculous
@@stupidfuck6060 …that’s literally the point wut💀 like they’d sound exactly like ten years ago
Nothing New is such a fantastic song! So powerful and Phoebe and Taylor have such gorgeous chemistry
hands down my favorite on the album!

Aaaah I love you too although I doesn’t understand anything that you said, but it’s your passion and love for Taylor that matters to me. Love you!
State of grace is one of her best opening tracks. I SAID WHAT I SAID.

all are better but yes SOG is a great song
1:16:57 The swinging arms chorus when Bonny is ~enjoying~ and Emily is ~processing~ is a big mood. Now I can't get a hypothetical, slightly slower, more strings version of Message In A Bottle by The Corrs out of my brain Bonny!!! Amazing call 🤩 x
The fact that Taylor featured phoebe on a song that should’ve been on the original album….. she’s trying to kill me. It’s just too offensive and iconic and rude.
So excited for this!
Nothing New is my fav vault song its soooooo offensive I can't bElieve whats happening. B x
I love the Lucky one but Nothing New feels so much more personal, in terms of references and now looking in hindsight how things have played out for her... It's my favourite track from vault as well
@@chatsandreacts I also immediately thought about Olivia, so so weird she did not post anything regarding Red on her social media, radio silence, quite sad, wish she can still be herself and spontaneous, despite entourage and pressure
I’m just going back and rewatching and it’s getting me through some tough stuff, bc your wild joy is contagious and healing. ❤
I'll twist the knife about Ronan a little more, but the lyrics where actually composed using quotes from the blog Ronan's mother wrote (and is still writing to this day) where she is writing directly TO Ronan...
And then Taylor credited Maya as co-writer...
So yeah 😅😭
That's definitely the saddest TS song. Heartbreak songs are nothing compared to Ronan
oh my god. oh my GOD. this made it even sadder, to imagine Ronan being sung by his mom 😭
I have to skip, it’s too sad. That and Soon You’ll Get Better 💔
And to make it even harder the lyric video she released for Taylor’s version is photo clips of Ronan and his family. Really didn’t need to cry that much when it came up but there was no possible way not to.
I think part of why her voice sounds so incredible on these recordings is because, unlike when she first recorded them, she has been performing these songs for almost a decade. She knows how the smallest of changes can impact the listener and how to perform the intricacies of each line in the most superior way. Practice makes even better than perfect ✨❤️
THE MOST AWAITED REACTION!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥺
I love how it went from “I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ‘cause he never did” with Begin Again to “I was never good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes…” in All Too Well (10 min)
forever winter is actually about Taylor’s best friend who passed away when they were only 21
Yeah, Corey Monteith from glee 🥺
@@phoebepitman2025 it might be her high school friend, he passed away from a drug overdose, she mentions him in her bmi award. we won't know for sure, it could even be about her brother
@@jen760 ah yes that makes sense!
@@phoebepitman2025 Corey actually passed after red came out and this song was was written before. It’s def about Jeff Lang
Taylor: "They don't know about the night in the hotel"
Harry: "If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms"
Yep is about Harry xD
"And if you like midnight driving with the windows down" AAAHHHH OMG
Harry and Taylor had not dated when red was released. They started dating in december 2012, she released Red in November 2012.
@@livbarberr They met on the kids choice awards (March 31st, 2012). It was rumored that they were interested in each other after that, and started talking (not quite dating, but yeah). Then some photos of Harry kissing another girl were leaked. So Taylor called off whatever was happening between them (hence "I knew you were trouble" was created, and yes that one is about him bc the guy in the mv has a ship tattoo). So yeah, I think "the very first night" is about Harry, but at the very beginning of their relationship.
It’s not Harry; this is about Jake. Back when Jake Taylor dated he flew her out to London, and they had a romantic hotel date in London. Harry and Taylor only dated later in late 2012 the album was already done then.
@@keyshlanarvaez6921 This isn’t true though. In that same article (Vanity Fair) his representative and friend, Ben, denies those claims. The “source” in that quote said, “their hands were up in each other’s hair” but when you look up the photos, there are 0 photos with Harry’s hands in a models hair, or hers in his.
What debunks this as well is after KCA’s, One Direction flew out to Saturday Night Live, located in NY. Taylor flew out too and was there the same week as One Direction, but instead was spending time with Dianna, some singer-guy whomever it was, and Emma Stone. She never visited Harry.
If we believe those rumours, then that means Taylor dated Harry for only 1-week, or actually 3-4 days realistically as soon as they met. It just doesn’t make much sense.
AHHHH SOOOO EXCITED!!!! My faves and the best album and i physically cannot handle this video i adore you both. My comfort channel💛💛💛
omg 🥺don't make me cry, we are so grateful for this community !!!! ❤️
@@chatsandreacts love you both sooo so so much thank you for this corner of the internet 🥺🥰💛💛💛💛
The way coming here after a new Taylor release has become compulsory.
I’m SO excited for her rerelease of her Debut. That will show the true growth of this amazingly, beautiful, talented woman.
I feel like the whole re-release experience isn't complete without you guys' reactions!!! ❤️🧣
Message In A Bottle could’ve definitely been in the Lizzie McGuire Movie.
Omg also you can add it to any dance sequence and it fits everytime
I love how in the beginning of forever winter you both perfectly depict the dual nature of the song, Em worried because of the lyrics and bon just vibing to the production
It’s not a chats and reacts video until Emily says “you don’t know what you don’t know” 😂 love you guys
It kills me everytime lmao
Timestamp please
@@ZMera99 1:06:04
@@gilbertgollyweed7191 thank u
8:14 “she delayed that street” i lost it hahaha emily you’re fab
How beautiful is it that Taylor and Ed wrote Ran together as their first song as new friends ten years ago and now they’re still close friends ten years later and they finally released this song 🥺❤️
I’m literally just as excited to watch this as I was listening to red for the first time!!
As a Mum of two little boys, one of which had just turned four - Ronan turns me into a puddle of tears everytime I hear it 💙
I believe Forever Winter is about her friend Jeff Lang who died right after Speak Now released. She sang at his funeral the day before she won BMI Country Songwriter of the Year. ruclips.net/video/zp1peBYUT00/видео.html
For context, he died in November and her 21st B-Day was a month later.
I love nothing new it epitomises Taylor’s emotional and social intelligence not to mention her musical ability! It also reminds me of this quote from a book that stuck with me about the viciousness of people -“they’re gonna bleed you out till your nothing, and then they’re gonna ask how you died”
What book is that quote from, I love it!
What a completely gutting quote 😵
14:26 Wait, was that “Taylor Swift knows who we are” because she gave us all the 10 minute version of All Too Well that we never knew just how desperately we needed, or did I miss her acknowledging you two somewhere?!? 😱👏 x
taylor liked and commented on one of their tiktok videos
she commented that she loves them on a tiktok (with 13 exclamation points) hahah
Ahh thank you for letting me know, just found the TikTok! That's one of my faaavourite moments of their folklore reaction video so I can't *believe* Taylor saw it. So happy for you two!! 😻 x
Forever winter is about Jeff lang, one of Taylor’s friend who overdosed after speak now was released hence the lyrics, “all this time I didn’t know, you were breaking down”
I don't even know that it was Taylor deciding "the world's not ready" for the "f*ck the patriarchy" line; If I had to guess I would say the label pressured her to not include it because they wanted to maintain her "good girl" image. I think she really had to censor herself in a lot of ways because of that. And I 100% believe it was in the original because I think Jake probably genuinely had a "F*ck the Patriarchy" keychain because that was the persona he presented to the world but wasn't really living it in their relationship, and I think that's the whole point of that line.
Watching in Nov 2022... I discovered you two a few days ago while digging deeper into the midnighTS tracks. I have to say that you two are my new digital besties (which I need because I live alone). You two are so fun, sweet, positively beautiful, and knowledgeable about music, music production, Taylor Swift, lore and lyric... It is OFFENSIVE how much you know about our beloved Queen's career and music.
I'm so proud of you for putting together this wonderful channel with truly amazing videos. So much here to enjoy. Excellent editing!! If you aren't rich 🤑 yet from all these skills, you should be. 💜💜💜
In the very first night, it says “they don’t know about the night in the hotel” and I immediately thought of 1D’s song perfect which is suspected being about Taylor from the line “if you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about, baby I’m perfect”, the music video takes place in a hotel room as well and describes that feeling that their love might crash and burn but feels perfect in the moment.
That was after though. If she wrote this in early 2012, and not late 2012 then there’s no chance it’s about him.
I read somewhere that Message In A Bottle can be a Barbie soundtrack and I can’t UNSEE UNHEAR UNIMAGINE it anymore 😩😂
just need to revisit this comment because HAIMs song for barbie has such a similar backtrack to Message In a Bottle

Bless you Bonny for editing this so quickly. Now I'm going to sit here and react to every song with both of you like I haven't already had a breakdown over my favorite album. I have no friends in real life who love Taylor so y'all are going to be my Swiftie friends.
I also agree that the vault tracks on this album are better than Fearless for me. It's the best mix of what she wanted for this album and you can clearly see that she wanted to go full pop so badly. Now I'm dying for what we'll get from 1989 and reputation vault tracks.
I love this whole friendship dynamic! I wish I had friends like this to freak out over albums with, but at least I have these videos ❤️
"Anyone who doesn't like Starlight, don't trust them" EXACTLY
The best thing about being a Swiftie and Taylor re-recording and re-releasing her albums again and listening to the songs we’ve heard a hundred times and freaking out about it
"If you hate stay stay stay, you hate fun." Facts are facts. Taylor herself says 'it's so fun' so Stay Stay Stay slander is not sanctioned.
I like me! But not stay x3🙃
@@folklore9062 but stay x3 is so cute to dedicate to someone or when you're in love + i love the bridge

I'm not sure if you will read this but I just wanna say THANK YOU to your channel. Prior watching your reaction videos I was a casual listener of Taylor's music. But you taught me guys how beautiful her discography is, so thank you thank you and happy Red season!!❤️🧣🍁
Welcome to the fan club ❤️❤️❤️
Really love to see your reaction, the way you breakdown lyrics, research on the spot and able to find possible links to different songs she wrote, is unbelievable. It's like going through your favorite album with your people.
1:06:39 i love that they both go into praying position when phoebe's verse begins because it IS a holy experience
it’s insane how your reactions and insights made me appreciate this album even more! you all seem like really nice people to have around and i love your energyyy i’m so glad i found your channel, can’t wait to catch up on past taylor reactions🥺
girl at home tv is so underrated, this song deserves attention!
Is one of my fav, alongside red, holy ground, I knew you were Trouble, WANGBT. though I care less for the rest, Red is not one of my fav albums but Gir at home TV stands up tall
Harry wrote a song called “if I could fly “ same as her “the very first night “ song. 😭
They’re not related though, ICF came out in like 2015.
@@JustJulie-cz8fs it’s literally on the same album as perfect “and if you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about” so it’s not out of the realm of possibility
I go back and watch all your videos literally everyday. They never get old. Idk you guys are genuinely the best RUclipsrs ever. I normally hate reaction type videos but when I found yours when you came out with your folklore reaction. Every single video is long but feels like a half an hour video because I’m so entertained. Love it x
Thank you Bonnie for editing - we love the full reactions with all of the songs!
HIII! new Swiftie here :) since the end of THIS February 2022!!!! Thanks to All too well 10 minutes version! I have always loved Taylor Swift wouldn’t consider myself a Swiftie as I love all genres of music! All too well 10 minute version had me hooked I instantly was a red TV stan!!! Since I have crawled down the rabbit hole own every single vinyl she’s ever released etc!!! Upon hearing the moment I knew after all too well 10 minutes to me it is also a masterpiece and Tells us Soooo much!!! Her poor little 21 year old broken heart! We’ve all been there as women even men with that much older person who dropped our damn hand !!! I would have to say the moment I knew is also one of my top five favorites along with all too well 10 minutes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I literally woke up from a dream this morning about you guys posting this video. I actually checked my phone as soon as I woke up! I love you guys! I listen to a few TS reactors, but you two are the best. I love your energy and genuine emotions ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful things about you two and having become a new and giant fan of yours is the level of excitement you have and how now when I hear these songs I see you and your joy, passion and excitement in them and it takes the songs to an even more incredible level. It’s like I now have some built in memories that tie me to the fandom and give me permission to be as into Taylor and her discography as I want.
Thank you. ❤️
I can’t even find the right words to describe it. I hope somebody gets what I’m saying lol
Omg Ari is so cute!! She’s like why are y’all so excited? What’s going on? What’s happening? She’s excited because y’all are excited. I just can’t with her! I love her. Also Emily and Bonny y’all are ICONIC. Such a perfect representation of Swifties❤️
I’m hoping she’ll release a docuseries with six episodes that shows the process of re-recording each album 🤞🏻
Yes!!!! Emmy for Ms. Swift!! Or a full length movie 🎥
Just discovered you guys yesterday and I love your content! Taylor would be so proud to have fans like you xx
omg, just had a vision of Taylor doing a song dedicated to her incredible fans, and in the bridge there's you two saying "SO O F F E N S I V E" and "I C O N I C"
you two are just ridiculously adorable, i can't cope.
Red re-recording is sooo iconic but imagine if Taylor collaborates with Harry Styles for 1989. Harry has always been respectful of Taylor after the breakup and I think they’re on good terms now.
31:42 my favourite. Gary light body's voice was astounding.
The happiness on Emily's face when she heard that in fact, taylor did the same adlibs for i knew you were trouble is so relatable
I get so happy every time you post a reaction video because I feel like I’m also in your living room, screaming, crying, and dying with you.
I wish I had girl friends to listen with and get excited with me over Taylor.
Same!!!
I appreciate it so much that you post the full album reaction 🥺 thank you for taking the time to edit this video, I love to see the whole experience and not just the vault tracks reactions ❤️❤️
Bonny, you are a legend for editing this and cradling that speaker listening to the re-records.
Edit: I appreciate that you all reacted to IBYTAM exactly the way I did at 1030 at night in my house. 🤯
OMG!!! The fact that everything is perfection is just criminal !! My fave vault track has to be the very first night. Such a bop!
Same 😭❤
emily’s country accent is KILLING ME as someone from tennessee
The way I'm not able to watch a 1 hour and 45 min long lecture, but on the other hand, I have no problems with watching a 1 hour 45 min long reaction video from Bonny and Emily, AND I'M HERE FOR IT ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is so amazing!! was waiting for this ever since i finished my first listen of the album! you guys are so cute, love seeing some fellow aussie swifties
In Forever Winter when she sings "I'll be summer sun for you forever", the melody reminds me a lot of The Best Day in Fearless TV and I love it.
You really didn’t have to but we’re so grateful that you did this for us. We are so UNWELL! Blondie chose chaos but there we are again 🧣
