This album is so good guys, and It only get's better. Because of Copyright issues, we split this episode into 3 parts.
Here's part 2: ruclips.net/video/cYuVVhGBKgI/видео.html
Says the video isn’t available
Chocolate… Matt Healy is in the band 1975 they also have a song about chocolate but it’s not the normal chocolate 😂
Not me watching yet another full album reaction video of TTPD 🤡
for real
no bcz same 😭 I've seen so many of them and now my youtube wont stop recommending more and I just keep watching them
not me making this my favorite pass time lol
I've lost count of how many TTPD reactions I've watched at this point, lol!! ✨️🫶🏻🎶💃🏼💖
I’ve watched so many 😭
People just come on the internet saying , " I hate Taylor Swift " and make some videos and just become a swiftie .
People on internet say all the Taylor Swift songs sounds alike and most of time in edits or radio they don't realise its a Taylor Swift song 😂
It makes sense if u just listen to song without paying attention to lyrics
But if u jut listen to lyrics boom blown away
@@SiareHamilton I get what you mean. You know how sometimes superpop-ish songs sound alike. But if they say folklore and 1989 is same, that's absurd😅
@@jakariyamahmud let's be real those people would not have even listened to folklore but would just type " EwW aLl Of ThEm SoUnDs LiKe ShAkE iT oFf"
"Like I lost my twin" makes me think of twin flames, which actually makes that part sound so much deeper
Have you watched the twin flame docuseries? Creeeepy!
Down Bad has an alien abduction metaphor running throughout it and it’s genius
I was coming on here just to tell you guys this. That’s why the music sounds so spacey. I didn’t catch it my first listen either.
yes, I got it right away but she also confirmed it on iHeartRadio. I need a vintage alien abduction music video please ❤ 👽 🛸
Can you explain it please??
And it's a track 4 like snow on the beach, which has some alien/space metaphors and lyrics running through it.
Who’s re-reading this comment after seeing the space ship at the eras tour?😭
I'm a massive swifty but I don't get why swifties have to obsess about who a song may or may not be about. Just enjoy the lyricism and art. Folklore proved it doesn't have to be about someone to be great.
THIS
plus, connect/relate it to your OWN relationships, not taylor's.
"If it's deep it's about Joe" ...you should toss those preconceived notions for this album and just listen to what the lyrics are saying.
They wouldn't be quiet long enough to actually listen. It's deep...you listen.
I think you missed the whole concept behind the album. A concept that is dictated by "I can do it with a broken heart". She sings all the sadness and anger while a minimally happy melody plays in the background and she pretends to be fine, even though she is at rock bottom.
The production also felt monotonous to me first listen and was burnt out till 31 songs ended but in second listen on shuffle, this album grew on me so much that i can't listen to any other Taylor songs except this album 😅
Same thing here!!
It was just so overwhelming. I listened to the standard album for a few days and they really grew on me. I did the same thing with The Anthology and was able to appreciate it a lot more with time in between and now I can’t choose which I love more
31 songs straight through is very fatiguing on first listen. I have found it works much better as 2 albums or on shuffle too. Great album the more I listen.
So true lol! After more listens it’s like - how the hell did I think it was a bit sleepy? It’s amazing!
Same!
This album grew on me so much it's so weird
same!!!
The best art is often the hardest to absorb
Down Bad breaks me. The way she compares the end of a relationship to being dropped back down to earth after being abducted by aliens, shown and different world then arriving back and being disoriented not knowing what happened b
GOD I'm so glad I found your comment. I've been saying forever that Down Bad lyrics are slept on because the beat and "fucks" take all the attention.
The lyric "Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up" HURTS ME
It’s also giving “You showed me colors You know I can't see with anyone else (…) You taught me a secret language I can’t speak with anyone else” 😭
@@madi.gonzalez. Right??? I love love love the beat of Down Bad but I'd also like to here an acoustic version
Down Bad is a perfect song
As someone going thru a breakup after 13 years, this album is everything! (13 years, no ring, no baby, naivety can really wreak havoc! Hence, the need for this album!!)
Luckily Taylor only lost 6 years.
Speaking of 13, it’s Taylor’s lucky number
@MrFrye12345 k that brought the tears! It's weirdly comforting 😊❤️
I hope you’re doing okay, sending you a big hug
"She probably made it about Ariana Grande" 💀
can't handle the "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" slander, it's such a BOP
They literally talked through all the cutting lyrics. 😒
@@jacquelinelarraux690 been singing 🎶MY BOYYY🎶 everyday since the album came out
Hate to break it to you-Matty, Matty, Matty, Matty first four.
I disagree about MBOBHFT, but the rest are def Matty.
Hey guy Jack Antonoff did not do the rerecordings of 1989. He just did the vault songs. Get it right before you accuse him of something.
Also IKYWT is not 1989!
Honestly I’ve never seen a TSwift reaction where they got so many facts wrong, missed ALL the metaphors and badly mangled the lyrics from past songs 😂
That whole convo was OFF THE WALL. Like, wth? Wrong, wrong, wrooooong.... 😆🤣
yep. I knew this reaction screamed disaster from the very first minute. All the "omg, chills, omg, chills!" only added to the "sh!t storm" (😉) that ensued.
He literally did Out of the woods, I wish you would, and You are in Love
12:40 Jack antonoff is also a producer on 1989 (the original) and he only produced the songs from the Taylor’s version that he also did on the original + some vault tracks! Christopher Rowe tried recreating max martins sound not Jack!
EXACTLY!
And TV is great too! I don't know what Isaac is thinking. 🤦🏻♂️
It's definitely about Matty Healy. She knew him for a long time and they never connected until the breakup with Joe. Matty's 'wife' is most likely his drug habit. Her 'husband' is Joe. The part when Taylor and Post lie on the ground in a paper silhouette is a dead giveaway because lots of people talk about how Matty is known for lying in just that position while having conversations. That's what I've heard over and over again. 😎
As a long time fan of Matty's, to my knowledge, he has been clean of hard drugs for 5 years. He mentioned it last year during a concert and everyone cheered for him. As far as the position they are laying in, I believe it is a reference to part of The 1975's show last year. Matty was lying face to face with a naked silicone figure of himself in that exact position. He did it at almost every show. You can find images on Google and some videos here on RUclips.
@@ssalas7374maybe he is clean of hard drugs, I don't know if you consider pills hard drugs, but she has a song that eludes to him trying to buy pills off of a friend of a friend of hers that ghosted him.
in her song Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus She says, "you needed me but you needed drugs more and I couldn't watch it happen".
so maybe he relapsed. I hope he's okay.
@@marigolden_mariposa she's talking about their relationship in 2014 for the needed drugs more part in Chloe et al. The pills thing is def a reference to this time though - but he has loose sobriety which equates to not doing heroin / cocaine, presuming the pills are like Xanax or something he's probably relatively okay - hasn't seemed like he's been on drugs anyhow
As for fortnight I think she's talking about fka twigs when she says wife - they were rumoured to be engaged & husband is Joe A
@@marigolden_mariposa yeah, of course, I can’t know for sure. It worried me too. After multiple listens to this album I wonder if some of those references were to past events, they knew each other a long time and certainly during his struggles. I know he’s worked hard to get free of that.
@@Alice-vm4sn Interesting. I kind of felt like the ‘wife’ she was referencing was his current girlfriend and she was referring to feeling like M was her ‘husband’ even though he left her. Like the song was set last summer/fall and she was seeing him with someone new.
"I'm gonna walk down the aisle to this" (Down Bad) 🤣🤣
I really wish that your friends (not sure, I didn’t catch their relation to you) wouldn’t bring up a man every single lyric that Taylor sings. Them bringing up a different guy every minute really took away from the lyricism and what story Taylor is telling in the songs. I loved your perspective especially since you point out lots of production elements I usually don’t hear the first time around.
Right! It was so annoying!
Ya I didn’t appreciate the limp paternity tests. If you’re going to do that you have to say something thoughtful
I personally don't think too much about the men because you don't need that to follow the story.
Same, its kind of hilarious because it's actually an extremely hypocritical thing to do. Fans will always get defensive and angry when somebody says that Taylor only writes about breakups and men, but then they'll turn right around and only ever try to interpret her songs through their preconceived, surface level ideas about the men she dates. It's like, you can't have it both ways lmao. The men are not nearly as important to the stories and worlds she crafts within her songs as people seem to think.
3 people, 2 brain cells
best comment
Hey Issac, always love your reactions :) I just wanted to correct you- Taylor has been using Christopher Rowe to do all her re-recordings. Jack has only been used for songs he actually produced originally and some of the vault tracks that were never released. Also, Shellback worked with Martin on the original release of 1989 and he did actually come back to help re-record Wildest Dreams along with Ryan Tedder and Imogen Heap on their original tracks.
The song Fortnight is (partly) about Tortured Poet, Sylvia Plath, who k*lled herself in 1963 after her exhusband left her for another woman (there are big references to this in the music video).
Jack was on the original 1989 album, too. And the reason why max Martin isn't around too much in pop now is because he makes artists he works with give him writing credits even if he didn't participate in writing at all
As a fan of Taylor's, I please ask y'all to stop pinpointing who each song is about, that's not the point of listening to music
So… Unfortunately due to copyright issues, the second and third part of this reaction has been taken down from RUclips. I’m pretty mad about it, but for now there’s not really anything we can do. Thanks for watching this though!
Oh no!! I was excited to see those next lol
i just finished all 3 and saw the other 2 were gone :( glad i got to seem them!
I just really want to know what you thought of but daddy I love him because I felt like it was the only song that sounded different.
a patreon would be a good solution!
Noooooooo. I was half way through part two. 😭 I really wanted to see I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
I can't wait, I really enjoy hearing your perspective
Thank you!!!
I don't know there the name but the girl in black gets It!!! I like that she was looking at the album with the perspective that Taylor had a lot to write about so these songs aren't entirely about one person in particular
“Ate seven bars of chocolate”
The 1975 has a song called “Chocolate.”
Nothing in this album is lame. 🙄
Now I get how annoying it is to associate every song of hers with a man
AGREE
exactly!!
this whole reaction is annoying 😭
Isn't it soooo fun to bring down another talented woman???
Not every little piece of Taylor's music has to be about somebody, she literally is one of the best songwriters out there, and yet the only thing y'all can think about while listening to her is "Is this song about him or not?"
I’ve been waiting for the drop of this video!!
You guys are so fun and entertaining to watch! 😅
Amazing review !!
Great work Isaac! Very entertaining!
OK But... do you know that Jack Antonoff did NOT produced the Max Martin songs on 1989 TV???? She produces those tracks with Cristopher Rowe.... hehehe just saying.
Your reactions are always best
I think he’s right, Fortnight seems more metaphorical, covering themes that run throughout the album such as love, longing, wanting someone who’s not good for you, mental health etc. Fun reaction!
The irritation when they talk and not pausing the track😅
oh my god i literally love u guys especially the clip at the end please keep making taylor swift videos with your sisters
thanks!!
The guy who ruined the production on 1989 tv wasn't Jack, it was another guy who did Max's songs
WOOHOO i will be watching all 3!
This is the best possible group to do an album review. You have the singer, who will listen to and critique the performance, techniques, and melodies of the singing, which is one of the most important parts. You have the song writer who will listen to the lyrics, dissect meanings and intricacies. Then you have the producer, who will listen to the instruments, tone, presence, and skill of the song itself. The only person who’s missing if the Fan/Swiftie, who will review the song in context of the artist themselves, but I think they said the singer was also a fan too.
I understand on first listen it might be hard to grab every detail but I think over time there’s so much perfection to both the production and writing on this album throughout that you really have to critically listen to hear
It's a fantastic album but it's all basically about Ratty apart from So Long London, Clara Bow, Who's afraid I'd little old me and of course The Alchemy which is about Travis.
Healy really did a number on her 😭
Fortnight is a contunation of the No Body No Crime story on evermore and no one can tell me otherwise.
hahaha that's a good one.
everyone connected to the end of hits different when she says is that your key in the door have they come to take me away.
No wayyy. Why would the wife in no body no crime be upset about him cheating if she’s pining for some guy she spent a fortnight with ? 😅
@madi.gonzalez. I'm guessing they mean it's fron the perspective of the mistress
Desperately trying to pick out "who" every song might be about is a detriment to actually understanding the stories and metaphors she comes up with lol 😭 Like Fortnight is an incredibly obvious prologue to the narrative we go on to see unfold in the album, but if you're somebody who can't comprehend a song unless you can craft some specific narrative to fit a real life human being, maybe that doesn't seem as apparent to you. Genuinely I think that Taylor still always gets pegged as the "breakups and feelings" songwriter because fans refuse to analyze and interpret her songs through any lens outside of the specific men she has in her life. TTPD's story is brilliant and perfectly straightforward even if you have zero clue about her life story, and that's the true talent within her storytelling.
15:17 this is Taylor’s signature sound. She first began with her album 1989, which she explained why she titled it the year after she was born because it was a collection of 80’s synth pop songs. Since then, every single one of her albums has an element of 80’s synth pop. It was extreme in lover, some hints in folklore and evermore, prominent in Midnights, and extreme in Tortured Poets.
I absolutely love this video! Tks for putting it together :) a suggestion for next time: it would be interesting if the girls were more technical about their review instead of saying “it’s about matty/joe” every minute
Soooo 1975 has a popular song called Chocolate as well - someone else pointed out that bars are lines in a song so if she said you ate 7 bars of chocolate - could be interpreted as you kicked butt and wrote 7 lines of his song ??? I’m not a music person so I can’t confirm this …. Anyone else interpret it this way ?? We know how Taylor loves her double
Meanings
Jack Antonoff also produced 1989 (2014) with Max Martin, Shellback, Ryan Tedder and a few other producers, just so you know. Jack Antonoff only produced the same songs he initially was part of in 1989 (Taylor's Version), the rest were produced by Christopher Rowe, together with the returning Shellback, and Ryan Tedder.
I've never heard such a wrong interpretation of some of these songs.
Thanks Issac ❤
This would've been more enjoyable to just listen to Isaac review it.
To me, the "Like I lost my twin" part, is about you losing your twin sibling, and it would hurt a lot, because twins are always very connected to each other.
I AM DEAD. 💀
Jack Antonoff is NOT Ryan Adams. Ryan is the one who did his own take of 1989. Jack was in Fun. as well as Bleachers and has been producing with Taylor for a hot minute. Check 'em out. 😉
‘Owl City?’ Me still having no fricking clue what owl city is (cut me some slack I am not American)
I think this is a concept almbum... so whenever it dosent go in the "logical" way, there is a meaning behind it, its done intentional... i also think this album is super cronological.... great reaction, cant wait for te rest
You (the guy) dancing to Guilty as Sin is so cute!
Taylor swift brought back the 80's sound with the original release of 1989 (2014)
it's HER sound now 😁😁
23:42 Not sloppy wet kiss 😭 the unforeseen kiss is much better 😂
That is so interesting! I completely disagree about My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys. I get lost in her voice and that’s what I hear most. I get that weird senses mix up where I actually see her voice in some way. Sometime when you’re listening to it, focus specifically on how her voice moves through different sounds. It became my favorite song after the first time I did that.
Fortnight, My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and Down Bad are top favorites of mine
Jack Antonoff is also a producer of 1989 (the original) 2014
Educate yourself, please
SLAY
that wasn’t Jack Antonoff who produced the Max Martin tracks on 1989. It’s Chris Rowe, fyi.
this is probably my 2nd favorite album of hers! after folklore of course!
I can’t wait till you guys do the Anthology.
Yeyyy 🥳🥳🥳
Wooo!!!
I read comments on another video about how fortnight was kind of based on Clara bows life but I think it has a little bit of her experience as well
Actually no. It wasn't Jack who remade 1989. He did the vault tracks. Christopher Rowe produced the standard tracks on the album.
Her best album yet hands down 😩
The title track just grew on me more than fortnight...Soooo goooood!
24:29 this is a very common critique I’ve seen about the album. Like in every negative review I’ve seen about the album they said it blends too much together
And she does blend down bad with fortnight in her Era's Tour and it's actually good.
"Hahaha! Drunk driving! Hahaha!"
😳
❤️
MBOBHFT is about joe
Yes and so is TTPD.
Alchemy is about Travis
oh im seated
Taylor likes Ariana, she just started sharing the trailer for Wicked now that it’s available at Eras tour. She plays a song by GaGa…people just love the drama.
MH was a guy from her early years so there is a history. She gets out of this long ass (6yrs) toxic relationship and he swoops in love bombs her already tortured heart, shows her off for attention, gets what he wants and then ghosted her. So slimy!! Anyway thanks for the reaction!
I love your chemistry together guys ❤❤❤
So I saw a theory that “Fortnight” is supposed to be this idea where it’s meant to take place in the future where a past relationship that was daunting on you feels like it didn’t last as long as it had felt when it was happening and you realize the other person moved on and is living a happier, better life than you and you’re jealous of their “happy spouse, happy house” life; hence the “my husband is cheating.. your wife waters flower” lines. SO GOOD!
“Like I lost my twin” doesn’t bother me at all. I just think of it as like a synonym for soulmate in this case.
“Sexy baby” is kind of eyebrow raising / borderline weird, but largely ignorable.
But I physically cringe at “sloppy wet kiss” every single time. I hate that line so much. I can’t get used to it. (And, yeah, “unforeseen kiss” isn’t really any better.)
“If it’s deep, it’s about Joe.”
I couldn’t agree more! 😭 Jokes on matty lol
Wdym? loml is about Matty Healy
The next album next!
Vigilante is about Scooter Braun and selling her masters
GIVE ME PART 2 NOWW
Can anyone else watch parts 2 & 3? It keeps saying video unavailable for me.
He removed them 😅😅😂😂
Poor Isaac have to hear the girls talk about Tay's past relationship, i know u just wanna hear the music. ❤
Another thing, Jack didn't produce the rerecords. Christopher Rowe did those that were not originally produced by Jack.
Conan Gray mentioning? Now we need a video reaction
A fortnight is 14 days
Every Taylor Swift going through paternity test is so annoying.
The dude needs some fact checking we 1989 and Jack
Everyone is going for the 80s thing these days because Taylor put it as the norm with 1989, before that the pop was bubble gum, next year it was solidified with Carly Rae Jepsen, then The Weeknd, dua lipa, etc.
Why didn't you watch the video for Fortnight?
You need to see the video with this. It has a lot more meaning.
Why do people always talk about syn? How about the lyrics that T.S. wrote? I thought it was the main thing in the songs.
Listen to the lyrics and stop talking over and assuming, down bad leans towards matt, surprisingly most of the "deep" songs seem to be about matt who she spun the block on... pause to discuss, you can't truly have an opinion when you aren't fully listening o the beat, the lyrics, vocal cadence... listen, pause, discuss, rinse repeat...this format is chaotic ...this presents like it's only to farm engagement
