This was filmed in the middle of the pandemic, everyone was at varying levels of comfort with shared spaces/face coverings. They filmed in separate studios across the country and you can even see how Taylor's team is distanced to the best of their ability even though they are filming in the same room.
William Bowry was Joe, her boyfriend of 6 years who she talks about helping writing the song during lockdown in the beginning. He was supposedly a private person, and they used the pseudonym "william bowry" for the songs he co-wrote on... but eventually Taylor let everyone in on it through this interview
Taylor, Jack and Aaron all quarantined for a couple of weeks before they got together in Aaron's studio (Long Pond) to record.
While this is true, that’s not why Justin’s face is covered. He is just an intensely private person, and back in 2016 he started obscuring his face in press photos, etc. “Faces are for friends only.”
@@khills thanks! Very cool info
@@khillsYes...that is the truth
@@khills interesting, thank you for explaining. I was confused thinking it was about covid but he was alone
Taylor is so humble despite her insane success. SHE is afraid Justin would say no. SHE says it would hurt too much. Then SHE, goddess of all songwriting, is waiting for the shoe to drop and Justin won't allow the song on the album. People are made just by Taylor wearing something they created, and she's still open about her insecurities. I believe that is why so many people love her so much. She has maintained her personal normalcy, thanks to her family.
I think her insecurities here stemmed from Justin collabing with knye previously
Um... This is cute, but she is right to be humble. Bin Iver and Justin Vernon are ridiculously huge in the genre Taylor was very new to before she wrote Folklore and Evermore.
It's her love of music and sincerity that is lovely to see. Not some weird shouldn't be humble shtick you are trying to conjure up...
@@emmavinkUm.....Bin Iver? I love it when a know it all...steps in it. 😂
I never thought any duet would top her song The Last Time (w/ Gary Lightbody from snow patrol) but this song is THE SONG. The harmonies between them are perfection. The production, vocals, lyrics are all 100% its my fav duet she does w a male vocal. I seen grown men resort to full blown tears hearing this.
Very well done!
I was coming here to say this.
Bon Iver is Justin Vernon. He records as Bon Iver, and Taylor's cowriter and producer Aaron Dessner is best friends with him. The two of them have a project called Big Red Machine (Aaron is from Cincinnati, hence the name) where they invite other artists to record with them. Taylor did a song called Renegade for a Big Red Machine. Bon Iver did Exile and the title track for Evermore with Taylor.
Oooo, we’ll check them out!
🙏🏼🩷☮️🩷🙏🏼
I’m always surprised when ‘music guys’ don’t know Bon Iver! So many reaction videos I’ve watched on Exile and no one knows him! I’m not even a big music person and I’d heard of Bon Iver before this song! But maybe people just know their own corner of music. 🤷🏻♀️
Taylor’s also on their song Birch, which is on the same album as Renegade (How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last).
His voice always sounds that way. He is amazing. Could listen to him all day.
“Leaving through the side door” always seemed like such a great way to refer to someone kind of checking out of a relationship emotionally long before the official breakup because they’re not being heard. The song’s a great exploration of two people in a relationship who are unable to communicate with each other. Taylor has also collaborated with Justin and Aaron’s side project, Big Red Machine, as well as Aaron’s main band, The National.
I think it’s also a reference to the side door (emergency exit) in a theater because she’s talking about having seen this film before. Our girl is so smart!!
My all-time favorite duet she has done. Their voices go together wonderfully.
Really good
Mine too.
I absolutely adore this collaboration.
This collab was great but so is The Alcott
Justin's voice is haunting in this song, but in a good way.
This is an absolutely incredible song! Sang beautifully by both. I don't hear Justin struggling with the low notes at all. I think it's more of his style/grit. This song couldn't be any more perfect.
I couldn’t believe he said that! “Struggling with the low notes”?? Struggling where?
Her song from Red The Last Time with Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol is also GORGEOUS 🥰
Also a big favorite! Love their voices together too. ♥️
Great reaction! If you like those interview type videos with TS, check out her Tiny Desk Concert she did with NPR. I think you’ll like that! Again, awesome job on your Taylor journey!
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻.
That is a wonderful suggestion! I watched it just this week and it's great! Hope they do check it out!
Taylor's Tiny Desk performance is a huge favorite of mine. Great idea to watch!! I have seen it about 15x or so. lol ❤️🫶💯🎶
@@shmamycakes oh wow! On the list then!
@@HPReact it’s 4 songs. You guys could break it up 1/2 and 1/2. Or whatever timeframe fits best.
One of my favorite songs! Justin is recording from his studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin due to pandemic.
I thought so 👍🏻
Gosh I’ve seen this 5 million times and im always blown away by just how beautiful her voice is on this song
I'm not sure what you were hearing in the beginning. Lol. To me it was just perfection. I love listening to his deep voice. My favorite version.
Would you please consider doing a bit of research and leaning into your expertise for your reactions? A bit more depth and substance is why I followed, and it's not coming to fruition. The best bits of this video were two comments regarding Justin's face covering and lower end of his range while sitting.
Please find a way to lean into your expertise. Perhaps an initial reaction segment then a second reaction after learning more from the behind the scenes or comments and breaking down what is effective in evoking the mood or experience. Give us a glimpse at your take on the craft behind the curtain.
I agree, I really appreciate hearing people's thoughts as a casual listener with Taylor as well as how it relates contextually to their respective industries. I think pivoting to live performances and music videos once you start doing more Taylor content would lean into your expertise as producers as well.
We appreciate the suggestion. We are literally doing a first time reaction to all of the songs we listen to. We want to the song/video to speak for itself, so we purposely don't like to do too much (if any) research before we sit down and push play. That being said, we are planning on doing a reactions revisited series where we go back, rewatch and add our 'more informed' commentary that includes all the info we've learned (comments and so forth) since our first reaction. We do appreciate the recommendation though. Truly 🙏
The face covering had no effect on Bon Ivers(Justin) voice...lol He is incredibly talented and has an amazing range.
Imo this is one of the great break-up or heartbreak songs. I think the little bit of early confusion may have impacted your experience of hearing it for the first time. You should listen again with the lyrics pulled up, or watch the lyrics version on her RUclips channel. A truly powerful song that paints so many vivid images with so few words of a relationship that just didn’t or couldn’t work. “Homeland”, “town”, “crown”, and even “exile” imply a long-term, committed relationship with unresolved feelings on both sides. They were “home” for each other; now they’re both exiled from home. They cross paths. “Took you 5 whole minutes to pack us up and leave me… with all this love out here in the hall.” So his pov: with no home or town (her) what is he defending now? Her pov: why are you glaring at me, looking like you’re ready to punch my date; I’m not your problem anymore so who am I offending now?
“2nd, 3rd, and hundredth chances” (we tried to make this work for a very long time)
“You gave no warning signs” “I gave sooo many signs” (total disconnect for whatever reasons)
Him: “You didn’t even hear me out” Her: “you never learned to read my mind”(understand her)
May or may not be right but makes me think she was “dying, not seen” in the relationship but he couldn’t or didn’t really see it so he’s still processing the whole breakup but she’s already gone emotionally. Ready to move on.
Him: “so step right out, there’s no amount of crying I can do for you” (go ahead then, just leave, I get it, we’re done) but you never gave any signs and you never heard me out.
The song doesn’t take sides but perfectly expresses the pain & heartache on both sides. And then just stops because there’s no resolution.
William Bowery is an alias for Taylor’s ex boyfriend of 6 yrs, actor Joe Alwyn, he presumably co wrote 5 songs with Taylor during lockdown.
I love that you said presumably. After hearing Jack talk about it, I’m not sure how much of any “help” Joe was.
@@nancyankrom3803 I know right and Joe is making big bucks from them. I kinda lean towards Jack’s take on it that Taylor is giving “William Bowery” more credit then he deserves
@@nancyankrom3803 yeah, jack seemed like he bought none of it 😂
@@Augustine0899i kinda think she ONLY gave him credit cause it was covid and He sang a little and was or maybe still is a none working actor😂....Taylor was being nice as usual❤ her
@laverneswartz could be lol. he couldve helped, but him doing the whole stanza + betty chorus is a bit too much for me to stomach. otherwise he has a career in songwriting in front of him lmao
If you haven't already, check out Cornelia Street live in Paris. It is a fan favorite ❤
This is one of my favorites because I feel like I had this conversation with my hubby. We were only seeing things from our own perspectives not from the others we were not “seeing” or “hearing” each other. So close to it being the end. This song is now a reminder of where it can go if we do not communicate when we start to feel unheard/seen.
Very nicely put! We both are aware of the importance of communication in a healthy relationship. It’s a great way to hear each other.
If you both really express your love for each other on a daily basis, you’ll see a positive change in your relationship. Listen to positive music together , it’s a great feeling to connect!
It works for me! And our love has grown exponentially since we began expressing our feelings for each other daily. In my case almost hourly! Lol 😂 !
Thanks,
Sam
“Love will find a way, if you want it to,” Jon Anderson of Yes!
I actually think this is one song where the studio version is better.
Please review No body, no crime. It's perfect for Hollywood!
Well we love the title!
PS. One of Taylor’s goals on this album was to see if she could still write break up songs that had nothing to do with her while she was happy in a relationship. Obviously that answer was a resounding yes.
see also: Death by A Thousand Cuts, Lover album, Tiny Desk performance, Sept. 2019. her monologue addresses that very point.
💯 And we love the fact she's talking about one of the more common, but usually not spoken about in songs per say, relationship issues... communication. We've all been there.
As far as duets go, you should check out "I don't want to live forever" w/ZAYN
It's not on an album, it's on the soundtrack of "Fifty Shades Darker". There's a music video.
re: Bon Iver. Justin Vernon lives in WI, which has a border with Canada (bilingual English/French). So, bon Jour (hello, good day), bon Voyage (have a nice trip), bon Soir (good evening; see also soiree). "Hiver" is French for "winter." Unlike SoCal, it gets COLD in winter in Wisconsin. I doubt anyone ever actually says, have a nice winter, even in Canada. Dessner's studio is in upstate NY in the Hudson valley; Aaron's home is next to the studio. Aaron, Jack and Taylor quarantined for a couple weeks prior to shooting (separately!). Justin either couldn't isolate, or couldn't come to NY. He's filming in the daytime (look out the windows); she's filming at night with the patio lights shining through the window. I expect Aaron and Taylor did the post production and mixing, should be in the film credits.
Awesome info! Thank you!
Their voices are so beautiful together, I always get chills and/or tears... ❤
Taylor wrote a song (w/ bf Calvin Harris --- This is What You Came For) in 2016 under a pseudonym, Nils Sjöberg, in order to deflect comment away from their relationship and let the song stand on its own. (They had a messy breakup a few months later). Joe Alwyn was her boyfriend afterward, from 2016 to 2023; most of the love songs from Reputation, Lover, folklore, Evermore, and Midnights involve him in some way. Joe Alwyn's grandfather was a classical music composer; he is a character actor with musical talent. Until the lockdown, when "work at home" became a thing, they hadn't set out to write songs together. Alwyn's grandfather was named William; their first date, or a place they stayed, was the Bowery Hotel in NYC. Hence, William Bowery.
Are you related to Sherlock Holmes? That was brilliant! Love the info. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@HPReact nah, the really dedicated Swifties live on social media and swap thousands of ideas and conspiracies every day. For me, I use my phone only for phone calls. Social media seems to rot the minds, and gets too toxic for me.
I trained as a librarian; if I see it in print, I can assess it. Some of the really ace detectives do those "decoding" videos that parse out all the Easter Eggs. I am nowhere close to that level.
My favorite of all Taylor’s songs. ❤ Justin is the singer. He is known as Bon Ivor and yes this was filmed during Covid.Yes, Taylor has made some with other people. All of them are awesome.
I wouldn't say that Taylor does a lot of duets though; a few collabs, yes. IMO
@@shmamycakes That’s right. I didn’t mean lots by the number of duos but in the variety of people she has done it with, lol. If that makes sense.
Justin Vernon is a singer in the band Bon Iver. Joe Allwyn was Taylor's partner (or as she sings, lover) for six years, until early last year. Both Vernon and Joe(using the pen name William Bowery) were co-writers on “exile.”
We need to check this Bon Iver out :)
I love this song and the long pond sessions! Great reaction as always!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@HPReact I love that you react to Taylor and BTS! I may also have a biased view here, but I think it's a great combination of music to discover!
We appreciate you@@DestructiveMediaYT. Yeah, I mean everyone talks about them all the time and prior to us reacting to their songs and videos... we had no clue who they were. So, it's been really fun and eye opening these last few weeks. Who knew we would end up liking both?!! It's been a beautiful accident getting into these incredibly talented artists. 😊
Cornelia Street Live from Paris 🤍🤍🤍🤍
This song was always sad and it’s about miscommunication in a relationship. It became more sad considering how Joe and Taylor wrote it together and broke up after 6 years together. We don’t know what happened, but for some reason this song seems like they were writing about their future break up.
So there was a writer on some of the folklore songs named William Bowery that fans were trying to figure out who it was and in this clip she is telling us that William Bowery is a pseudonym used by Joe (Joe Alwyn was her boyfriend at the time, they broke up last year). Justin Vernon is the singer on the song but stage name is Bon Iver which is why this interview is very confusing out of context.
William Bowery = Joe Alwyn
Justin Vernon = Bon Iver
They put the wording on the screen that due to the pandemic Justin was recording in a different studio
Exile my favourite song
She has had duets since she was very young but maybe not many. However, you can find many of her collaborations with other artists on their albums. The low voice (Bon Iver) gives me chills next to her soft singing. Check Bon Iver (the singer) he’s amazing. He wasn’t in the room, they kept emailing each other and that’s how she collaborated with many on this album.
Enjoyed your thoughtful reaction.
If you’d like to check out a great, small venue acoustic performance from Swift that’s a little different from anything you’ve seen thus far, I’d recommend the following from the Grammy Museum performance:
Wildest Dreams (just Swift and an electric guitar with some lovely vocals)
Out of the Woods (another lovely performance- this time with her on the piano)
Have a good day!
Completely agree!
the beginning of the song has a bit of text on the screen saying that justin was in calfornia recording his part due to COVID and in the little conversation at the beginning taylor refers to him sending his portion / section of the song.
Oh, got it, thanks!
🙏🏼 🩷☮️🩷🙏🏼
One amazing duet she did is with Phoebe Bridgers, it’s called Nothing New, from the Red album, you should check it out!
TY 🙏🏻
I bought this song minutes after hearing it. The Long Pond Session songs remind this old gal of Joni Mitchell. As for duets, Taylor has played duets live on stage with many... from Mick Jagger to Ed Sheeran. Thanks guys.
Yeah, 1989 tour had a guest for each performance, and many of them were phenomenal. I strongly recommend the video Mary J Blige has on her youtube account from her appearance. Taylor is a vocal chameleon when it comes to the guests, and she can absolutely hold her own doing that first verse of Doubt. It's stunning. (and Mary has a high res recording, unlike many vids of 1989)
@@darsynia one of my all time favorites is the Mary J Blige duet. I get chills every time I watch it
Taylor and joe both LOVE sad songs. It’s something they bonded over 😂
Worked perfectly for this song for sure 👍🏻
The beginning sets the stage for the story. He sees her with someone else.
Oh, I know that feeling!
Thank you,
Sam
He isn't struggling.
Wonderful reaction! Thanks! And Exile is one of my all-time favorite songs.
But I will offer one hint, for whatever it may be worth: Some of your confusions stemmed from your talking over the video, rather than pausing to talk. (For example, you both missed the caption explaining that Justin was in Wisconsin, etc.) My general suggestion for future reactions would be to minimize talking over the top of a video. Pause before talking and, in some cases, rewind/replay parts, if necessary. Sometimes the subtleties and nuances are practically "iconic" in the minds of swifties so, if you miss something because you are talking over the top of it, swifties will tend to get annoyed. Most swifties are incredibly fun and kind, but some are notoriously fanatical. Just sayin'. 😉😁
Hi! Thank you so much for your input. We’v only been doing this for a couple of months. Still establishing a good balance between reaction and watching. You may have started to notice that we’re pausing a lot more lately.
🙏🏼🩷☮️🩷🙏🏼
Peace and love,
S&S
Oh yeah, we are hearing from all kinds of Swifties, and we’re trying to learn and catch up ⬆️! Thankfully S&S
@@HPReact Just an FYI that has occurred to me: swifties are a notoriously devoted and somewhat peculiar fan base, and I have a theory about that. Taylor suffers from more than an average amount of hate from some parts of society. The “Taylor-haters” insist that she is overrated, she lacks talent, she’s just a marketing machine who cranks out the musical equivalent of “junk food”, and so on, etc, etc… endlessly. (You can find these angry types of assertions in the comments sections of virtually any news article that mentions Taylor.)
These “attacks on their queen” are so outrageously persistent and intense that they trigger a lot of emotions for a lot of swifties who feel personally attacked. There are various theories (like, literally, empirical theories based on data and logical analysis) proposed by academics and assorted people who spend their lives tracking social trends, celebrity culture, etc. trying to explain why Taylor, in particular, is a magnet for these types of attacks. Obviously, part of it is simply because she’s on top and some people don’t like anyone who is on top, but most people agree that there is more to it than that (misogyny and politics are often mentioned). Anyway, all I’m trying to say here is that the incessant attacks against Taylor tend to put swifites in a defensive frame of mind when they are on the internet. This frame of mind can make some swifties hard to deal with and those swifites can give the entire fanbase a bad - or at least quirky - reputation.
@@gaylenwoof Well, and for at least some of us, it can be a touch frustrating when the answer is RIGHT THERE, such as noting Justin is elsewhere or (to mention another RUclips reactor who was confused about why a male dancer was suddenly gone during the Eras performance of Last Great American Dynasty) when the lyrics literally tell you what happened. Some of us just suffer from being impatient, basically. 😂
was just watching your my tears ricochet one when this came out! love your reactions ❤
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The name game in this interview is for sure potentially confusing. Joe is Taylor’s boyfriend at the time of 6 years, who wrote under the name of William Bowery to conceal his identity. Justin Vernon’s stage name is Bon Iver, so he appears as a cowriter on the song and sings the duet part.
Hey! Thank you for straightening out the story. We were confused! We appreciate you @SummerBozeman !
🙏🏼🩷☮️🩷🙏🏼
@@HPReact Happy to help!
This song always gives me goosebumps because their voices are so beautiful together.
This is my favorite song of hers.
Mine too. I'm Australian 71yrs old ❤❤❤❤😊
You are correct that this is likely at the edge of Justin’s low range. There is a fan recorded live version from a Bon Iver concert where Taylor show’s up. He struggles more noticeably in that version.
Justin was not in the same room for this performance, Justin and Taylor still hadn’t met in person at this point
You guys are adorable!
Justin Vernon is in the band Bon Iver….
If you like The Longpond Sessions, try her songs Safe and Sound and Carolina ❤❤❤
There is much speculation as to how much “Joe” actually contributed to this.
All the songs on folklore and evermore are somewhat fictional. Or at least not necessarily about Taylor herself.
As a fun way to spend time together Taylor suggested she and Joe write an album, because they both love to play piano, sing, and write. Although he is an actor not a musician.
Many people believe many of these songs are Taylor and joe writing songs to some of their near breakups but didn’t want them know that way, so they changed key details to make themselves into characters.
The songs cardigan, august, and Betty are a teenage live triangle. It was all started by Joe who’d started singing the lyrics to Betty while she was in the other room, as he was making it up.
Some people believe this is a love triangle Taylor and joe lived through, but wrote it in third person. But that is just speculation.
You should listen to the king pond in order, it will help make sense of all this 🤣
Evermore came about because after folklore was submitted they all just kept writing music and it turned into a sister album. It’s also in this “fictional character” theme. But the last great American dynasty is about rebaka harkness, the house Taylor owns on watch hill, used to be owned by her.
Awesome info! TY!
@@HPReact According to Taylor, most of evermore, the follow-up to folklore, was written/finalized while they were together filming Long Pond. They’re an incredibly prolific trio - Dessner shows up on Midnights, and it’ll be interesting to see how much, if at all, he shows up on her new album.
Sometimes I think you're not paying attention. It said on the screen that due to the pandemic, Justin Vernon was in Wisconsin. There was a film crew in his house, so he was masking. And you're not hearing the lyrics. She is with another man. "I can see you staring, honey. Like he's just your understudy. Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me." I don't know what you're listening to. And Sam, Justin is struggling to go that low? Seriously? One last thing, they are not RECORDING so it's not COUNTERINTUITIVE. It's a live performance, and we can hear him just fine. It would be nice if you guys really reacted instead of just acting confused about everything. Look it up on Genius and see what it's about. I'll be unsubscribing.
Totally agree
Joe Alwyn, Taylor's ex used the fake name William Bowery for his song credits as he helped write many songs with Taylor.
The guy singing is Justin Vernon from the band Bon Iver. Personally, never heard of him. And at the time Taylor's boyfriend was Joe Alwyn & his pseudonym is William Bowery. The song is about estranged lovers I guess.
You’re missing out. He’s a generational talent
So glad I found this channel! Love your reactions!
I will say, her song The Last Time RAN so Exile could walk. Another great duet!
TY! 🙏 The Last Time... on the list!
William Bowery = Joe Alwyn
Bon Iver = Justin Vernon
🤣 this must be so confusing for you guys 🤗 her boyfriend in lockdown, Joe alwyn sings and plays piano so they do wrote this and other songs during lockdown. He is shy and didn’t want anyone to know it was him, so he made up the pen name William Bowery.
If you don’t know the musician Bon Iver I suggest you do some reactions to him in his own right, he is quite talented. But his actual name is Justin Vernon.
The two men she’s sitting with in this video are Jack Antoniff and Aaron Dressner, both music producers she works with a lot, and are seen playing the instruments in the videos at king pond
Hope this helps 🫡
TREMENDOUSLY! We were so lost with all the names flying around at the beginning. We figured out who Justin was (Bon Iver) but yeah... the confusion at the top was palpable. lol. Thank you for clearing it up for us
@@HPReact it’s a good idea to get who Jack and Aaron are pretty firmly in mind if you’re going to keep watching Long Pond sessions - they’re in all of them. 😉
Man. I feel so proud. I was here before u hit 300 subs! Your channel has grown super quickly! 💜
Thank you so much for sticking with us! We love you! 🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼
Joe is William and he is her ex-boyfriend! And then bob iver is Justin!
Sounds like a soap opera lol. TY for the info. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
That bridge gives me chills every time
Soooooooo good.
@@HPReact That’s not what you said, though. I have a huge comment about your reaction. I’m just beside myself with your critique of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). That hurt my soul! Too low?? 💔💔
Sam corrected himself@@NYandAZ 😉. We both thought he sounded great. In FACT, we're going to look more into him because we loved this duet!
William Bowery was an alias for her boyfriend of 6 years (at the time) actor Joe Alwyn. So she was explaining in this video that it was Joe that wrote with her and Justin aka Bon Iver on this song but he didn’t want his name in the album. This studio session was taken during 2020 Covid lockdown times. That is why they are in different studios. Justin was in Wisconsin and Taylor was in upstate NY at her producer Aaron’s home studio called Long Pond.
You two make me laugh. Loo
best song everr
We're still humming it :)
I so agree, even though it's heartbreaking, it's beautifully done.
@@Carrie1869 💯
Joe is her ex boyfriend who co wrote this song with Taylor under a different name ❤
This was the worst sounding version you could have seen. There's a ton of high quality sound videos online. Especially on her verified channel. This didn't give this song any justice. This is the greatest duo I've ever heard and I didn't like the sound of this video either. 😔😩
Thank you for the comment @LeBronIsgLoat. The sound was bad? Definitely don't want that. It sounds fine to us on our end, but is there a particular part? Genuinely want the listening experience to be a good one.
@@HPReact The sound definitely was off for me, too. Might be an upload issue, tho, if it didn’t sound bad when you were listening. In general, if you have Disney+, it would probably better to just watch and record your reaction straight from the original source for Long Pond sessions songs.
Thank you for this video. Its a fantastic video and their voices blend so well together. ❤ Stay safe
💯
You were talking when Taylor mentioned Justin. Justin Vernon is the real name of the singer from the group called Bon Ivor.
No, not many duets. Rare. I wondered the same thing about if they were taped at the same time. And btw, he's in a different state.
🙏🏻
I love these 2 together. The Folklore LPS was “my” album. Fort Night on TTPD grips me the same way. Loving Down Bad too. I am slowly “processing” this mega dump of songs. 64 yo and I believe I qualify as a Swiftie!! ❤ Thanks you two!
You should listen to this song again and then immediately after listen to “you’re losing me” from the 3am version of midnights. Sadly, you’ll realize how prophetic “Exile” was of her relationship ending with Joe Alwyn.
Scrolling the comments there seems to be a few negative Nellie's afoot. Don't be discouraged, it's not easy to decode Taylor's lyrics and especially catching all the Easter eggs (clues or nods to past or future work). It takes months, if not years to be a real Swiftie sleuth. Some people get bent about reactors not catching every word and nuance but I don't see them out there posting their own reactions or reviews.
Anyhow, as others explained, Joe (Alwyn) = William Bowery. And Justin Vernon = Bon Iver (French pronunciation E-vehr). If there's any song of his that you'd recognize, it's probably Skinny Love. Overall, his own style is an alt-folk or indie-folk vibe, I'd say.
After Exile, Justin also did a duet with Taylor called Evermore, the title track for the album released right after Folklore. They are sister albums, which Taylor explained by indicating that they (her and Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, and Joe Alwyn with Taylor separately) just kept writing and before they knew it, she had enough songs for that second album. They were released just 4 months apart (August 2020 and December 2020). Those two albums in particular got a lot of us through the darkest days of the pandemic and it's where I personally got really hooked on Taylor.
Jack was in the group fun and currently in the band Bleachers. Aaron is in The National. The studio they're recording the video in is in Hudson, NY and is owned by Aaron. And as mentioned below, Justin was filming from his home studio in Wisconsin. The album version of the song is cleaner (no masks)
LOL, the old dude talking about Justin's voice "It is almost too low to sound real, and i say this as singe rmyself" HAHAHA what a load of bull
It’s about communication breakdown in a relationship…
The song in studio, Bon Iver doesn’t wear his mask. I believe it was due to Covid. The true recording is awesome.You 2 need to listen to this song again. The actual studio version. His name is Bon Iver, not Justin.
The singer with the the blue bandanna with birds on it signifies Taylor’s relationship with Harry Styles. Interestingly, Harry about the time Folklore was about to come out stated that some really nice music was about to come out. And he was wearing a colorful Cardigan sweater which Taylor features prominently in one of her songs, Cardigan. Plus Harry and Taylor have a song called Daylight and Carolina on their separate albums. Harry’s color theme for his last Tour was the same as Taylor’s Loverfest Tour that she had to cancel altogether due to the Pandemic. Also they both sing about being Golden.
Justin Vernon of “Bon Iver” is known to create amazing sound effects and also play with the sound of his voice using various equipment. I believe he was going for a muffled effect for this one, hence the mask.
Justin Vernon is a generational talent. Everything he does is thought out. He has insane range and he purposefully went very low to contrast with the rest of the song and Taylor’s voice. It was a great decision. If you think Taylor is great, then check Bon Iver or any of his numerous side projects/bands
Hey guys! Love yall! Also it is 2024 please change the calendar 🗓️😭
I think the long pond session of them singing this sounds alot better sounds more raw. Heres them also singing live in concert also.

TS does it all her concerts and music and shes always been herself from the beginning. ❤🙂😎
Thanks guys for all that you do keep up the great work ! ❤🙂
Joe used a fictitious name for the songs he co-wrote with Taylor. Personally, I think the real co-writer was Harry Styles.
As it says on the video the man is Justin Vernon from Bon Iver. The Joe she talked about in the beginning who started playing the song on piano is Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of 6 years.
Joe is Taylor’s ex of 6 years who is an actor. Everyone believes she lied about this to try to give Joe credit. He used a fake writing name. He was very weird about dating her. Always tried to hide it. He’s not a song writer so a lot of fans don’t believe he was singing the whole fully formed part of a song on the piano with a beat.we just think Taylor was trying to be nice and maybe he helped her a bit.
This guy seems to not know anything cuz he sounds awesome, face covering or not
Old man every one sings differently
This has always been one of my favorites. Gives me chills every time I hear it ❤
I would love to see you reacting to evermore from taylor and Bon Iver, is their other duet.
No cheating. Just no connecting. No communication 😊
Watch Vigilante sh!t and look what you made me do video
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I love this collaboration!
The first line tells you he sees her with some guys arms around her…
Need to listen to T. S.s”Tolerate It”
Yay! You’re back!
Still here! 🙏🏼🩷☮️🩷🙏🏼 Thank you!
Seriously, you just insinuated that Justin can’t sing the lower register, that it sounds off. 🤨 Credibility toasted.
He took it back later
It was recorded during Covid hence the face covering for Justin
Not a covid thing. Apparently, a few years back Justin decided his face wasn't for public consumption. He wanted to keep some of himself for his actual friends and family. So he began covering his face when he performs.
@@primitivepixx I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info! I always assumed it was covid related.
I wonder if he used the handkerchief as a makeshift pop filter for the mic?
no, it was September 2020 and vaccines weren't widely available --- or not for people that young. Justin had a cameraman, but the cameras in Aaron's studio were set up according to Taylor's direction. If you look at the windows, they didn't record this together ---- sunny in WI, and dark in NY. Audio for the film (like all films) is mixed after.
gah, had to edit --- it did a line through on the whole comment 🙄
I think you said you like the layering on this pretty duet? I would like to say that the album version is much more layered, in a way that would only be possible live if there were at least 3 singers. Anyway, listen to it ! Very beautiful.

I was just watching your My Tears Ricochet video and was hoping for more Taylor reactions when this just popped up! Can't wait to watch and see what you guys think
Separate studios during lockdown
Great! Thanks for the info! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Always enjoy your reactions. How about her music video The Man? It’s a good one!
Thank you for the compliment! It’s probably already on the list. I’ll check 🙏🏼🩷🙏🏼🩷🙏🏼
Waiting for Mika ❤️❤️❤️
What is Mika's best song?
If you want a hit you can react to Grace Kelly if u want something less famous but really nice I suggest “happy ending (sinfonia pop) which is a live performance 😊
Is Mika a new artis@@loricamma7973? We seem to remember a Mika from the early 2000's. Grace Kelly sounds familiar 🤔
Yeah is a famous song from the early 2000s a double reaction of both song would be good maybe cause are different but maybe you know Grace Kelly yeah
Or tell me if you want something more new by him or if my suggestions are ok 😊
