AL OF THE GIRLS IS SUCH A SLAY, THE PART SHE SAYS “I wanna teach you how forever feels like the girls you’ve loved beforeeee” THAT PART MADE ME STOP BREATHING AHHH
Safe & Sound always felt like a song from Katniss to Primrose, whereas Eyes Open was more of Katniss’s internal dialogue. Katniss had to be on high alert for her entire life, and everything she ever did was to keep her little sister safe… and sound.
I think safe and sound is about both prim and rue and how she sees prim in rue and the fact that it's a lullaby makes me think of how much music means to rue
I always thought it was Katniss saying that to Peeta because she says, “when all those shadows almost killed your light” basically saying when Cato almost killed you. It’s so cool how people can interpret the same song differently!
"All of the girls" gives me associations to Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next". (The perspective is of course a little bit different, Ariana thanks former boyfriends for making HER into whom she is today, and Taylor sings about former girlfriends making HIM into whom he is today, but in my mind the theme is similar.)
I quite literally SOBBED to the point of having a headache over Safe & Sound. I cannot get over how improved it is; both musically and Taylor’s vocals. It sounds incredible. Speak Now TV is terrifying for me because it’s my “heart” album and I’m a tad afraid the passion of the original won’t be there. Also, if all of the girls would have been put on Lover, it absolutely would have been one of my favorites. It’s SO good and I’m so glad she let us have it.
"even when you're sleeping, keep your eyes open" just reminds me of how Katniss was so tired, quiet and ready for anything when she tried to sleep above the trees for so many nights on the Hunger Games book
as appreciative for All Of The Girls as i am… i really want Need!!! ALSO i’ll take Taylor removing If This Was A Movie from Speak Now for it to become a completely self-written album. WELL WORTH IT. it’s not like she didn’t re-record it at all.
But that means that If This Was A Movie WON'T GET A LYRIC VIDEO. Now I have to languish with every lyric site saying "every" while ears hear "every day" 😭😭
Getting to experience the release of these songs/albums TWICE. Is such a special, once-in-lifetime experience. No other artist has ever done something comparable. I’m so proud of her for reclaiming all her art. And we’re all so lucky to get to receive it all over again 😊😊 I’ve had Eyes Open on repeat 😩🙌🏻 that first drop gets me every time
Okay but is nobody gonna talk about how The Archer fits Katniss perfectly not just because of the name but litterally every line fits her, even the nose one because she is so haunted by the experience she can't look at herself the same anymore. If you haven't noticed go listen rn 😭 Edit: After reading the book the similarities are so much more
I fully believe that the studio reached out to Taylor wanting her to do her version of the songs to promote the new Hunger Games movie. It’s perfect she has the hype to make fans nostalgic with these songs for the movie.
All Of the Girls fits the theme of Lover so well! Exploring the different elements of love from a different perspective (as you mentioned in the voice over!) Also it would have deepened the connection between the Lover and Red albums. Red as the perspective of going through love and heartbreak and trying to understand these feelings and Lover as the perspective of understanding the complicated and multifaceted concept of love from a matured perspective ex. "loving him was red" in Red to "I once believed love would be burning red, but it's golden" in Daylight, and "loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street" from Red again and "every dead end street, lead you straight to me" in All of the Girls!!😊
Weirdly, Safe and Sound was a comfort song when it came out. When I couldn’t sleep over being upset (was going through the ending of a really toxic mentally abusive relationship) I would listen to it and repeat to myself “just close your eyes, you’ll be alright, no one can hurt you now. You and I will be safe and sound” and it would honestly relax me.
The improvement on the hunger games songs, the vocals on safe and sound, and the vocals, and production and everything on eyes open!!! Omg this is how you do a re recording, I've been listening non stop 🤚
Idk if this is possible, but I could see Miley and Taylor capitalizing on their HUGE years lately with a collab of You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home. Idk if we deserve that, but I would probably cry😅
the past weekend in the tscu (taylor swift cinematic universe) has been absolutely wild and it has made me truly grateful i'm alive the same time as taylor alison swift
Speak now is what I’m WAITING FOR. Speak now was my high school days. So many memories wrapped up in that album, I will always have a nostalgic moment for this albummmmm
I have much too much to say... so bear with me!! She announced these songs and released them as I was driving to Arizona for OPENING NIGHT (ahhHHhhHHH!!!) and I am genuinely shocked I didn't crash my car into a ditch. They are such a random bunch but they are genuinely four of my favourite songs she has ever shared with us. I have STANNED Eyes Open (and always yelled at Bonny and Emily for not LOL) and Safe & Sound. I never expected those to be redone but WOW what a moment. I literally always think about the fencing too with "on guard!" lolol. There is something sooooooo magical about the roundness/fullness/clarity of these re-recordings. We are way beyond blessed. Also... I am a child of divorce and I literally miss The Civil Wars every damn day even though it's been 12 years. I love them all for coming together on this grammy winning song yet again. ITWAM.... I died dead. This is absolutely one of my stan songs and she sounds soooooooooo good. BUT... you are so right, this is aLWAYS going to be Speak Now for US. I thought it was for sure a sign that we were going to be getting Speak Now TV announced {I reside on Clownelia Street}. ALSO I thought for sure that the way she went from Enchanted to Red era on opening night meant we were getting Speak Now TV dropped or announced... like what is she doing to us??? I am so excited for Lover (Taylor's Version) 🤪 Thank you for your *phenomenal* content. All of your hard work is never going unnoticed. I saw your story about copyright issues... I had posted concert videos of all the songs that were performed for the first time ever and tens of thousands of international swifties were watching and thanking me but I woke up the next morning and YT deleted my entire account of copyright strikes just from opening night videos :/ evil. Anywaysssss... you're the best ✨
this is absolutely delusional but just IMAGINE debut being the last rerecording and the final song being You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home TV, it would be such a poetic way to wrap up the rerecordings 😭😭😭
like, from someone who wrote "Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles" all of the girls is really therapy working
Since Safe and Sound was rereleased, every time I hear it I think of Twilight. Glad you hear it too! Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling hurt by the fact that If This Was a Movie is now apparently a Fearless song....Speak Now is top 3 for me for sure and I've always LOVED this song
If This Was A Movie holds a special place rn.. the day before Taylor's Version was released, me and my best friend had a small kind of argument and I did not know how to make it up to her, and neither did she, but this song came out on the next day (and it turned into the best day-) and the vocals and the instrumentation and literally the lyrics helped us. I know it's going to sound dumb and lame but the chorus of If This Was A Movie made me cry the first time because I was going through all that but then i sent my friend the song and it helped us make up for everything! Yep
Omg the paradox of the 2 songs. I think Eyes open represents the trauma and war shock. If you've been in this situation, this is also how you'd see the world. Always having one eye open. And then safe and sound is kind of like a lullaby. To help you cope and it comforts you not to lose yourself through all the tragedy and horror 🥲
these songs dropping makes me even more sure speak now is soon..the three taylors version songs were all in the speak now era but they werent fully written by her, she put them on other albums so speak now tv could be fully self written ! im so excited
I was lucky enough to see the Civil Wars live and they were so hot together it makes sense that they can’t make music together anymore. 😂 Their harmonies are truly immaculate though.
she's such an agent of chaos and we constantly reap the rewards for that! I can't BELIEVE how young she sounds on If This Was a Movie like holy crap!!! That little New Perspective clip LOVED THAT
Also love the reference in AOTGYLB to ATW10. In AOTGYLB she says “crying in the bathroom for some dude who’s name I can’t remember now” And in ATW10 she says “not weeping in a party bathroom some actress asking me what happened.” Might not be the same event, but I still love the parallel in the lyrics and how this person that greatly hurt her doesn’t matter at all anymore.
I love the idea of Eyes Open also being inspired by NEEDTOBREATHE. During the Speak Now Era she was touring with them, and one of their latest songs at the time was called "Keep Your Eyes Open". It also has soft rock influences which could be a nod to their music.
I was really surprised and happy when I heard she was releasing her version of Safe and Sound. Her vocals on that song are so beautiful and almost haunting. But I'll take ANY music, new or rerecorded. She could sing "Wheels on the Bus" and I'd probably still cry 😂
I am OBSESSED w all tue girls you loved before!!!!!! The melody is absolutely transfixing and it has highhhhhhhh replay value holy shit. Not to mention it’s just a beautiful concept for a song in general. Goddamn!! It’s immediately made it’s way to my fav Taylor songs. Wow. I love it way more than lover tbh, especially since they have similar sounds.
Always so fun to watch your reactions, Ally! Love the pop culture refs. Also, you agree that safe & sound was Taylor manifesting folkmore? Mastermind right there!
I hope she releases EP's with vault songs for the albums she already owns like 'Lover songs from the vault' etc. It kills me to think how many amazing unreleased songs she has!
I enjoyed your reaction Ally, you always have such a positive vibe 😃 These are some of my thoughts about the songs: -The mixing in Safe & Sound sounds crispier that I actually recognized there were male harmonies in the second half or by the end of the song. Also, I have always liked this (sad) song hehe. -Eyes open has a significantly different style from the usual Taylor imo and also, it has a very clear influence from the 2000s or 2010s so, that's probably why it's not so loved by many... In my case, I think I have to be in a certain mood to fully enjoy it. -If this was a movie absolutely belongs in Speak Now, I like to think she decided to put it in the fearless era for now to avoid giving any clues about the artwork for TV and also, so it could be streamed in the chapter she created for Spotify. -I wasn't really aware about the existence of All the girls you loved before hehe... but I loved it, the lyrics have that hint of maturity from a 25+ y/o and the music gave me a little sexy or sensual vibe 💗. Also, it's probably a coincidence but I like that she released it this month when we commemorate women. To whoever read my whole comment, thank you 😅😁
I never heard the leak, but All of the Girls is such a Lover song, it’s wild. I wonder if she recorded it and it was all mixed back then and it just didn’t make the cut. I love If This Was a Movie and am hoping thar one day we understand why it has the Fearless album art.
OH MY GOSH! What if she is giving us a message through these titles?!? Keep your eyes open because if this was a movie (the tour on film) you could be safe and sound (watching at home) but still see all the girls you’ve loved before (Taylor in her Eras)!!!! 😳
They're also all movie themed. Eyes open and safe & sound (hunger games the movie) if this was a movie (movie in the title) all of the girls (sounds like to all of the boys i loved before movie)
@@Bandofthieves We need it and we deserve it! I keep hearing fan mention that she she release a documentary about the re-recordings… I want a 6 part docu-series about them. One episode for each re-recording. Each album deserves that.
Thank you so much for making a video on these songs!!!🌸🤩🥰💕💜💙🌸"All of the Girls" is one of my favorites now!!!! I'm so obsessed!!!💗💙🤍💖💜 Thank you, Thank you. I love your videos!!!😻
Ally! What do you think of Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince as the opener for the Eras Tour? At first it really shocked me but then after hearing "It's been a long time coming." It made so much sense! Love your videos 🤗
Love all your vids Ally! You really inspire me to love & care about all the things that most people tell me not to care about! All of the girls is such a BOP and I'm hoping cause she released it she'll release Need too! And Eyes Open is ALSO one of my FAV Taylor Songs!!! It goes SO HARD!!
All of the Girls feels so full circle to me because it does remind me of Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. It was released in 2004 then she began opening for them in 2006 🥰 I am fully obsessed with it & my favorite line is “teenage love taught you there’s Good in goodbye” (as someone who dealt with a traumatic high school breakup) She is just so amazing ❤️
I am pretty sure that in the mashup that plays while she is coming out at Eras tour I've heard "16 and wild". Maybe it is a reason for why we got this now...😊 Also totally agree, that ATGYLB should have been on Lover. As much as I like daylight, I feel like this would have been a superior ending to the album!!! And finally, I love the parallel in the lyrics of mastermind " the planets and the fates and all the stars alligned" and ATGYLB "your past and mine are parallel lines, stars all alligned and they intertwined".
@@AllySheehan I hope I did not hear it, because I had it in my mind the entire day and it was just my imagination😂 But yes I thought I heard it during that mashup before she comes out on stage.
I watched your Speak Now TV video earlier today, which was the first of your vids I've seen and I immediately subscribed! I've been binging your videos all afternoon. I am too a Speak Now girlie but very close second is Lover 100%. I freaked out a couple months back when these were released! Safe & Sound has always been one of my faves so hearing TV was amazing! But I also did love Eyes Open. I just loved that although sad, S&S was so good to me because I felt as it really captured Katniss and Prim's story and relationship, and this is coming from a THG stan for over a decade 😅 So of course I adored the TV of Safe & Sound and Eyes Open. But as a Lover girlie as well, I definitely had All of the Girls on repeat haha
all of SN *must* be coming as secret songs for tour, since Enchanted is the only one on set list. here is my current dream scenario: T goes thru tour with her surprise songs, and all of a sudden we get to show after show after show where her secret song is a SN track...AND THEN WE GET ALBUM DROP. i think it would be suchhhh savvy-Taylor to use her own performances to preview the album ;D If that doesn't happen, I hope we get a couple more SN(TV) surprise track drops before the album lol. Maybe Sparks Fly, since she technically wrote it before original SN era?
I rewatched all of the hunger games movies like 2 weeks ago and then I saw it was trending...AND THEN TAYLOR DOES THIS!? I refuse to believe it's a coinicidence
@@AllySheehan I don't know if I get you fully bestie because I'm at the part where you're swinging the lighter around and why is it worrying me? 😂 Very chaotic vibes
I know I'm late, but I really wish she put "All of the girls you loved before" on the Lover album because Lover is already my favorite album but that would make me love it even more. Maybe the song didn't exist during that era, but if it did exist, it's a crime that it wasn't on the cd
Love this reaction! Video suggestion: ranking Taylor Swift tours based on your personal experience Hey Ally! The eras tour is getting me hyped up. Since you are fan since debut, I would love to know thoughts on each concert.
AL OF THE GIRLS IS SUCH A SLAY, THE PART SHE SAYS “I wanna teach you how forever feels like the girls you’ve loved beforeeee” THAT PART MADE ME STOP BREATHING AHHH
I SCREAM FOREVER!
THE GOOSEBUMPS 🥵🎉😊👯♀️🔥
Literallyyyyy
same
That whole song makes me stop breathing she sounds so good in that song I don't how to to explain it
never in my wildest dreams did i actually think she would release all of the girls
haha, wildest dreams
@@jordannnk 😉
Agreed and we love the little nod to “wildest dreams”❤😂
you are not alone! i can't believe it! 😂
safe and sound with the civil wars is amaaaazing!! ❤🎉 its so deep and so sad but its still intense. it transports you to the movie.

the excitement 🤝 the anxiety

She did not need to go as hard as she did on Eyes Open, but she did and we love her for it.

I think her vocals on Safe & Sound might be her best vocals ever
I think I'm gonna have to agree with you on that☺🤌👏💖
Its so good and before this i was a little worried about the re-recording of Last Kiss and the rawness of it but now i feel much better.
S&S and Carolina are D I A M O N D S ✨
"All of the girls" gives me associations to Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next".
(The perspective is of course a little bit different, Ariana thanks former boyfriends for making HER
into whom she is today, and Taylor sings about former girlfriends making HIM into whom he is today, but in my mind the theme is similar.)
"unfortunately, since recording the original version, they had a civil war of their own" 😭😭😭
💀💀💀💀
Can we appreciate”hits different” being ally’s intro😌😌
As a person who only heard it once like 4 months ago (waiting for official streaming release..) , it made me want it even more. WHAT’S THIS SONGG
@@GilYoel it's a bonus track on target version of midnights, sadly she hasn't released it on the internet even tho we love that song haha
i know that's literally what i meant.. maybe she'll release it this weekend as a surprise 🙃
@@GilYoel it's now on "Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition) :)), yeah it's a really good song
HOW can she give us songs like eyes open and not give us a pop rock/country rock album 😩😩😩😩
RIGHT!!!!!! this , story of us, haunted are all perfection
Speak Now and Red are literally right there.💀
Yes! I've been waiting for that album!
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleepobviously a full album and what red song is poprock/countryrock lol

dude i agree and i'm honestly going to be sad to part with original SN because of how much i love her young vocals
I need an “Eyes Open” vibe for a whole album.
EXACTLY i tweeted the same thing last night!! it's story of us x haunted energy!
"even when you're sleeping, keep your eyes open" just reminds me of how Katniss was so tired, quiet and ready for anything when she tried to sleep above the trees for so many nights on the Hunger Games book
completely, and throughout the revolution too
as appreciative for All Of The Girls as i am… i really want Need!!!
ALSO i’ll take Taylor removing If This Was A Movie from Speak Now for it to become a completely self-written album. WELL WORTH IT. it’s not like she didn’t re-record it at all.
it also means the speak now vault tracks will all be self written which excites me!

8:13 Safe and Song
13:09 If This was A Movie
18:52 All of The Girl You Loved Before
I also thought of Rascal Flatts when i got to that part of All of the Girls You Loved Before!
safe and sound is one of my fav Taylor songs. the grip it had over me in 2012😵💫
I enjoyed your reaction Ally, you always have such a positive vibe 😃
These are some of my thoughts about the songs:
-The mixing in Safe & Sound sounds crispier that I actually recognized there were male harmonies in the second half or by the end of the song. Also, I have always liked this (sad) song hehe.
-Eyes open has a significantly different style from the usual Taylor imo and also, it has a very clear influence from the 2000s or 2010s so, that's probably why it's not so loved by many... In my case, I think I have to be in a certain mood to fully enjoy it.
-If this was a movie absolutely belongs in Speak Now, I like to think she decided to put it in the fearless era for now to avoid giving any clues about the artwork for TV and also, so it could be streamed in the chapter she created for Spotify.
-I wasn't really aware about the existence of All the girls you loved before hehe... but I loved it, the lyrics have that hint of maturity from a 25+ y/o and the music gave me a little sexy or sensual vibe 💗. Also, it's probably a coincidence but I like that she released it this month when we commemorate women.
To whoever read my whole comment, thank you 😅😁
All of the girls slightly reminded me of I think thank u next by Ariana grande, because of the “I’m so thankful” lines
It’s pretty funny that haunted got featured on an ep of true blood, so it did get the vampire treatment after all.
omg no way!
I’m a Lover girl and I’m SOOOOOO happy about All Of The Girls and I really want a deluxe Lover album
Also, can I just say "Eyes Open" is such a great song I feel like it's so underrated
All of these tracks are immaculate ✨🤌 But I have had ITWAM and eyes open on repeat !
since my favourite album is lover, getting all of the girls you loved before is truly a win
you really won!! longest album and STILL getting more tracks!
i wished she also released Need cause man that’s such a good song, idk why she scrapped it from lover
i think when re-recordings are done Taylor will be like"surprise here's Lover Deluxe", it just makes sense
I never heard the leak, but All of the Girls is such a Lover song, it’s wild. I wonder if she recorded it and it was all mixed back then and it just didn’t make the cut.
I love If This Was a Movie and am hoping thar one day we understand why it has the Fearless album art.
OH MY GOSH! What if she is giving us a message through these titles?!? Keep your eyes open because if this was a movie (the tour on film) you could be safe and sound (watching at home) but still see all the girls you’ve loved before (Taylor in her Eras)!!!! 😳
Back to clownelia street you go 🤡
You are a genius
They're also all movie themed. Eyes open and safe & sound (hunger games the movie) if this was a movie (movie in the title) all of the girls (sounds like to all of the boys i loved before movie)
taylor is a mastermind
ALL OF THE GIRLS IS SO NOSTALGIC-
‘I need to be put down’ and ‘Eli, this is for you’ in one sentence 😂 thanks for making me chuckle, this was very enjoyable 👏🏻❤️
I love to all the girls you loved before, it’s such a great concept and way to talk about growing up
Why is nobody talking about Sweeter Than Fiction (Taylor’s Version)? If she’s re-recording soundtrack singles, that one’s on top of my dream list!
I will die if we get it!
@@Bandofthieves We need it and we deserve it! I keep hearing fan mention that she she release a documentary about the re-recordings… I want a 6 part docu-series about them. One episode for each re-recording. Each album deserves that.
@@Bandofthieves we will definitely get it since it's licensed on bmr
@@Bandofthieveshere we go (kinda lmao)!!
Just discovered your channel. I feel like I'm listening to these songs with a friend. Love your content!! ❤
aw welcome friend!
Thank you for loving Eyes Open!! It’s always been a favorite of mine, and the guitars on TV go SO INSANELY HARD
Thank you so much for making a video on these songs!!!🌸🤩🥰💕💜💙🌸"All of the Girls" is one of my favorites now!!!! I'm so obsessed!!!💗💙🤍💖💜 Thank you, Thank you. I love your videos!!!😻
All Of The Girls reminds me of Thank U, Next for some reason! Same year too!!
yes a few people have commented on the similar perspective! those were focusing on her own exes though rather than her partners
Ally! What do you think of Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince as the opener for the Eras Tour? At first it really shocked me but then after hearing "It's been a long time coming." It made so much sense!
Love your videos 🤗
Yes me too! Took me a bit to understand why she started with that one, then I realised! Love it now!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Love all your vids Ally! You really inspire me to love & care about all the things that most people tell me not to care about!
All of the girls is such a BOP and I'm hoping cause she released it she'll release Need too! And Eyes Open is ALSO one of my FAV Taylor Songs!!! It goes SO HARD!!
oh that makes my heart so happy!!
How could I have forgotten about if this was a movie? It’s such a pretty song, one of my favorites.
I am a lover of Lover and I am super happy we got AOTGYLB its so beautiful 😭
With the Taylor’s version of eyes open I have feel loved with it , it’s one of my favourite
I’ve only been watching you since your RED TV reaction, but i’ve always really enjoyed your editing. Very entertaining!!
You literally have the best vibes 💜💜💜
I LOVE your reactions! ❤ i loved these songs
Thank you for notifying me. I have now listened to all of them and cried. All that's left now is to watch the rest of this video
I will literally die when she releases Crazier and You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home.
The song that All the Girls reminded me of is “This” by Darius Rucker!!! Ugh such a good such a good song and a throwback😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗
ooh i need to listen to that!
Eyes Open is one of my favorites, as is Safe and Sound. I've been thriving bc of the drop.
All of the Girls feels so full circle to me because it does remind me of Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. It was released in 2004 then she began opening for them in 2006 🥰 I am fully obsessed with it & my favorite line is “teenage love taught you there’s Good in goodbye” (as someone who dealt with a traumatic high school breakup) She is just so amazing ❤️
completely agree
I am pretty sure that in the mashup that plays while she is coming out at Eras tour I've heard "16 and wild". Maybe it is a reason for why we got this now...😊
Also totally agree, that ATGYLB should have been on Lover. As much as I like daylight, I feel like this would have been a superior ending to the album!!!
And finally, I love the parallel in the lyrics of mastermind " the planets and the fates and all the stars alligned" and ATGYLB "your past and mine are parallel lines, stars all alligned and they intertwined".
omg you think so? during miss americana? i'll have to have a listen
love that parallel too! as well as invisible string
it makes me giggle though because parallel lines never meet
@@AllySheehan I hope I did not hear it, because I had it in my mind the entire day and it was just my imagination😂 But yes I thought I heard it during that mashup before she comes out on stage.
The strings parts sounds like either violins or violas, or possibly both! Love you Ally
thank you!! lots of people are saying cello haha
I watched your Speak Now TV video earlier today, which was the first of your vids I've seen and I immediately subscribed!
I've been binging your videos all afternoon. I am too a Speak Now girlie but very close second is Lover 100%. I freaked out a couple months back when these were released!
Safe & Sound has always been one of my faves so hearing TV was amazing! But I also did love Eyes Open. I just loved that although sad, S&S was so good to me because I felt as it really captured Katniss and Prim's story and relationship, and this is coming from a THG stan for over a decade 😅
So of course I adored the TV of Safe & Sound and Eyes Open. But as a Lover girlie as well, I definitely had All of the Girls on repeat haha
That “what about the ending” at the end 100% gives Exile and I never connected it until relistening 😂
do you know what' funny
i have always though it was that and people are commenting that it's "baby i don't like the ending" which is even MORE exile
safe and sound makes me feel quite literally safe and sound 😭🩷
all of SN *must* be coming as secret songs for tour, since Enchanted is the only one on set list. here is my current dream scenario: T goes thru tour with her surprise songs, and all of a sudden we get to show after show after show where her secret song is a SN track...AND THEN WE GET ALBUM DROP. i think it would be suchhhh savvy-Taylor to use her own performances to preview the album ;D
If that doesn't happen, I hope we get a couple more SN(TV) surprise track drops before the album lol. Maybe Sparks Fly, since she technically wrote it before original SN era?
But fr eyes open did not need to go that hard!! Like why does it sound soooo good!
If This Was A Movie has always been one of my major go tos for when I'm really in my feels about my mom dying when I was a teenager.
I rewatched all of the hunger games movies like 2 weeks ago and then I saw it was trending...AND THEN TAYLOR DOES THIS!? I refuse to believe it's a coinicidence
she's always so on the trends
Hahahaha yesss! Guessed The Parent Trap scene before you said it and now that is what I'm going to picture every time I listen to Eyes Open 😂
hahaha you GET me
@@AllySheehan I don't know if I get you fully bestie because I'm at the part where you're swinging the lighter around and why is it worrying me? 😂 Very chaotic vibes
Nvm I'm back with you! Your whole reaction to If This Was A Movie is the definitive reaction of our time 💜
@@VanessaTS28 hAHAHAAH
Phenomenal video as always! My ranking:
If This Was A Movie
All Of The Girls You've Loved Before
Eyes Open
Safe & Sound
Couldn’t agree more about Eyes Open and my love of that re-recording just confirms the way i will simply be unable to cope when we get Long Live tv
I know I'm late, but I really wish she put "All of the girls you loved before" on the Lover album because Lover is already my favorite album but that would make me love it even more. Maybe the song didn't exist during that era, but if it did exist, it's a crime that it wasn't on the cd
Love this reaction!

Hey Ally! The eras tour is getting me hyped up. Since you are fan since debut, I would love to know thoughts on each concert.
