I'm surprised this was the go-to reaction request because her voice has improved TENFOLD since. The live performance of Exile with Bon Iver on her channel is incredible, as is every folklore performance from that gig.
There is not one time when i heard this song and i didn't cry. This is by far her best written song. I mean the songwriting on folklore and evermore are immaculate, the the amount of raw heartfelt emotions poured in this song and RED album overall is unmatched.
Yeah you can really feel the pain in this. Much of folklore and evermore aren’t personal. They were AMAZINGLY written and stunning but this emotion still stings. You can feel it
Watching this performance after so long makes me realize her voice has aged so well for her. She has found her strength. 1989 and reputation stadium tour live performances are just incredible you should really check then out
All too well is a fan favorite. I just realized how much her voice has changed. You should react to her album reputation. I feel you would really enjoy it.
@@soaribb32 I definitely think he would. He would appreciate the lyricism and the grand production; he always gives props to huge, impactful pop production
As you note, this may be her best lyric ever: "And you call me up again Just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here" Certainly my favorite. BTW, this is why Swifties keep asking Jake to give the scarf back....
Very simple, genuine reaction -- I absolutely loved it. I actually never realized the significance of the "crumbled up piece of paper" line and it made me cry hearing you explain not only the crippling pain but the stories that still hold inside it. Thank you for this! Subbing!
it’s incredible how her live vocals have improved since this! you should check out exile from the long pond sessions! both justin and taylor sound absolutely flawless
First time I saw this performance, I was just like you. Baffled by the song and the performance. What else can I say ? Can’t find a reason to not love this song. It hits hard in the heart and I just feel like crying with her.
Another song about Jake Gyllenhall is called The Moment I Knew. It is Taylor at her storytelling best. There isn't a MV, but there is a lyric video. It is simple, but oh so relatable. It is a true story. And, you can picture every sentence of that song, every moment, it is like you are in the room with her. It is an amazing piece of storytelling.
I’m so glad you reacted to this song! It’s typically considered her best written song by critics and fans alike. It’s from her album Red, which would be so cool to hear you react to someday!
She was trying very hard to keep a stable voice in this performance. This song was still difficult for her to perform live because it always made her cry. When she first released Red, Taylor swore that she would never perform this song because she broke down just recording it.
If you like lyrics and storytelling, Taylor is the one for you. Her voice is nice, I actually really like it because it's very distinctive, but it's not what makes her stand out amongst her peers, there are tons of main pop girls with voices as good as hers (Selena, Lana, Lorde) or even better (Adele, Miley, Beyonce, Rihanna). What makes her stand out is her writing. She once said in an interview that she was aware that if she didn't write her own songs she wouldn't have gotten where she has, and honestly that's the truth
This is an emotional performance but not her best vocally. My FAVORITE live performances of hers are Cornelia Street from the City of Lover concert. And Out of the Woods Grammy performance. SO GOOD!!!
Have you watch Taylor's NPR tiny desk concert? Please do so. She tells the story about this song, how it means to her now. And please do a reaction video. Please, pretty please? ☺
The entire Red album is essentially about her relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal. The subject of this song (post breakup) is sort of directly preceded by "The Moment I Knew", TMIK, one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe version. TMIK is about her 21st birthday party. "22" is about her 22nd birthday; by that time, she was "Clean", the last track on the standard version of Red.
I think you would very much like the Wildest Dreams performance live at the Grammy Museum. It's a simple stripped back version with just an electric guitar and it's one of those performances I keep going back to.
the most amazing part of this song is in Taylor's song book arrangement (where she throws her head back in these videos) the left hand chords play the sound and rhythm of pent up unshed tears - the right hand creates an innocuous chord with the melody so you don't hear the pent up unshed tears unless you actually play it. such a song writer
Please please please react to the re-recordings of her old albums when she releases them. Her lyricism and storytelling is so beautiful and has been from the very start!
Too bad you didn't watch another ten seconds. Her parents are standing and clapping with everybody else of course but her dad comes this close to exploding with pride. My favorite moment when she looks back at her mom and dad. Welcome Swiftie.
This is hands down my favorite Taylor song but maybe not my favorite performance of it. She seemed so nervous. I love the acoustic version she did on the reputation tour. But yeah I think this will stay in a top 3 of her songs for the rest of her career, regardless of what else she puts out.
I think we've long since established that Taylor is an album artist. Her albums' performances are way more notable than her singles and that's a testament to her prowess as an artist and as a legitimate musician.
This has been one of my favorite songs of hers since the album came out. I think Long Live is also on the same album, but it gives me the same kind of feeling
YES YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS ABOUT TAYLOR HAVE FINALLY BEEN SHREDDED!!! now please do the same with Harry Styles PLEASE REACT TO HIS ALBUMS, ONE WAS GRAMMY NOMINATED AS WELL! Would love to get your professional opinion on them!
taylor with a stripped down production is everything. fans have waited for her to make an album like it, and thank god we got folklore and evermore. and yeah if you want another taylor swift album with great songwriting, listen to Red (or Speak Now - which is a self written album)
You should check out her Tiny Desk Concert or the private acoustic performance of the whole RED album. Those more intimate, paired down performances are where Taylor and her lyricism really shine.
I subscribed to your channel because of your Taylor reactions, and i am sure many people did too. pleaaaase just react to red album, reputation, fearless (taylor's version). they are all so beautiful, just like you and your reactions. please create more Taylor Swift content. i would be soo happy
Thanks for your reaction. IMO, Taylor's Magnum Opus. Not her most popular song, but among hard core Swifties, top 1 to top 3. In no other song does she unashamedly opens up her soul like in this song. And does it while showcasing her immense talents as a songwriter and performance artist. You can still enjoy Pop Princess Taylor songs (Blank Space, Shake it Off, etc.), but they pale in significance to songs like this. So, IMO, if you don't know songs like this, you don't really know Taylor. And I am not even a hard core Swiftie, I love her work, but I lean more to Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Blackpink. Dude, you should be doing Blackpink, or at least Rose On The Ground. Think Billie Eilish cross genre, but with rap and hard core EDM beats, and acoustic guitars. Once in, seeing the seamless mixing of pop, rap, r&b, country (yeah, acoustic guitars), you will look back on Western pop as being unidimensional and boring AF single genre music. Also BTS (start with Mic Drop). Blackpink and BTS are not Kpop, they are World Pop.
Not to make you watch two All Too Well performances but she also sings All Too Well on her reputation Stadium Tour (available on Netflix) and she just uses her guitar with her crowd singing along with her and it's a really moving moment.
I don’t think i ever clicked with so much excitement before this
I'm surprised this was the go-to reaction request because her voice has improved TENFOLD since. The live performance of Exile with Bon Iver on her channel is incredible, as is every folklore performance from that gig.
ye but u can hear the emotion in her voice in this which can sometimes feel more powerful than if her voice sounded perfect
Yup! Growth!
It's a classic for years now and to most swifties is also a top favorite performance. They will alway request this, lol.
Taylor has ALWAYS BEEN GREAT. This sing is a classic Taylor swift legend.
at this point she was already pretty stable, it was just emotional for her
Her voice has improved so much since this performance.
But this song isn’t so much about vocals but emotions. I don’t think she can ever play this song like she did back then
Red reaction? It's time Jon!
This needs to happen.
I’ve been saying this since folklore!!!
PLEASEEEE
let him wait till taylor’s version
There is not one time when i heard this song and i didn't cry. This is by far her best written song. I mean the songwriting on folklore and evermore are immaculate, the the amount of raw heartfelt emotions poured in this song and RED album overall is unmatched.
Yeah you can really feel the pain in this. Much of folklore and evermore aren’t personal. They were AMAZINGLY written and stunning but this emotion still stings. You can feel it
@@bethm5791 EXACTLY
Yes!! It’s been several years since this performance and I STILL always go back to rewatch it. One of Taylor’s best songs, hands down.
Mine too.💚
One of the best songs of the last 25 yrs...
OMGGGG FINALLY YOU REALIZED HER LONG TIME TALENT. She has always shined through in the songwriting world. Nice reaction and exploration.
Please react to her album "Red", is an amazing album with her strongest lyrics so far (along with Folklore and Evermore) 🥰☺
Red Deluxe album may I add.
Speak Now erasure will not be tolerated.
Watching this performance after so long makes me realize her voice has aged so well for her. She has found her strength. 1989 and reputation stadium tour live performances are just incredible you should really check then out
All too well is a fan favorite. I just realized how much her voice has changed. You should react to her album reputation. I feel you would really enjoy it.
Reputation is sooo good!! I feel like he’d really appreciate the production on it!
I don't know If he would
@@soaribb32 I definitely think he would. He would appreciate the lyricism and the grand production; he always gives props to huge, impactful pop production
Don’t send him to her weakest album 🙈
@@joshs3265 rep was such a pivot, but none of her albums are weak
As you note, this may be her best lyric ever:
"And you call me up again
Just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here"
Certainly my favorite.
BTW, this is why Swifties keep asking Jake to give the scarf back....
The Queen of the bridge at the peak of her power
@@ZATennisFan Just wait. By late November we'll have the 10 minute (explicit?) version!
Very simple, genuine reaction -- I absolutely loved it. I actually never realized the significance of the "crumbled up piece of paper" line and it made me cry hearing you explain not only the crippling pain but the stories that still hold inside it. Thank you for this! Subbing!
it’s incredible how her live vocals have improved since this! you should check out exile from the long pond sessions! both justin and taylor sound absolutely flawless
All Too Well is one of the best song ever written. It's a masterpiece n will be talked about for many years to come.
I get emotional everytime. Favorite Taylor track
Check out her album Red. Trust me..you won't be disappointed. She is not a generic pop singer. She is really talented. Try her.
First time I saw this performance, I was just like you. Baffled by the song and the performance. What else can I say ? Can’t find a reason to not love this song. It hits hard in the heart and I just feel like crying with her.

You listened to the MOST liked song by the TS fandom! Fans everywhere are going crazy my dude! Thank you!
Love Taylor reactions. Always so honest and real 💖💖💖
If you listen to her full old albums , it's mostly these type of songs . She releases "pop stuff " as singles to create buzz and sell albums .
You really really need to listen to the whole album RED (2012)
PETITION for him to react to RED ALBUM starts HERE! Please, it’s so raw and amazing.
This is an emotional performance but not her best vocally.
My FAVORITE live performances of hers are Cornelia Street from the City of Lover concert. And Out of the Woods Grammy performance. SO GOOD!!!
I hope you react to the 10 minute version now. It’s amazing
Have you watch Taylor's NPR tiny desk concert? Please do so. She tells the story about this song, how it means to her now. And please do a reaction video. Please, pretty please? ☺
What? This is such a random reaction, Jon. But we’ll take it! More Taylor live performances, please!
My absolute favorite TS song. It's just so beautiful.
Clicked on this so fast.
Thank you for this, loved watching you pick out my favourite line 😌
What an awesome thing to wake up to. Thank you, Jon!

Please keep the Taylor content coming!!!!!
Yes !!! I wish you do more Taylor Swift reactions. Love it.
I think you would very much like the Wildest Dreams performance live at the Grammy Museum. It's a simple stripped back version with just an electric guitar and it's one of those performances I keep going back to.
What a great surprise! Her deep cuts are amazing.

Brilliant reaction as always. I just want to say that when/if you do a Taylor season I will be very happy. Thank you for this video!
All too well❤️
Please react to Cornelia Street live from Paris, it's just her and her guitar
THE BRIDGE OF ALL TOO WELL IS JUST WOW
i think this is her first time ever singing this song live so she was for sure emotional.
YES!
Yes! So glad you gave this a chance!
Too bad you didn't watch another ten seconds. Her parents are standing and clapping with everybody else of course but her dad comes this close to exploding with pride. My favorite moment when she looks back at her mom and dad. Welcome Swiftie.
gosh I remembered watching it live, was ICONIC
Love this ❤️❤️
Love this performance so well
LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!
This is hands down my favorite Taylor song but maybe not my favorite performance of it. She seemed so nervous. I love the acoustic version she did on the reputation tour. But yeah I think this will stay in a top 3 of her songs for the rest of her career, regardless of what else she puts out.
I love LOVE Taylor but some of her singles is not it BUT when it comes to albums, she is A legendary! react to her albums
I think we've long since established that Taylor is an album artist. Her albums' performances are way more notable than her singles and that's a testament to her prowess as an artist and as a legitimate musician.
agree. the girl puts out good albums. Some singles.... NOT. But overall, the albums as a whole are usually superior.
You mean me and yntcd, right? 😂😂
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS I LOVE YOU JONNN
This was so so good. Please do more Taylor Swift songs!!!
OMG that almost crying tone :( Tay 💔
All Too Well (Taylor's Version) 10minutes version
Love this song from Taylor.💜
This has been one of my favorite songs of hers since the album came out. I think Long Live is also on the same album, but it gives me the same kind of feeling
I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to ~
Still my favorite line
loveeeee, keep the taylor reactions coming :)
chills
i've got goosebumps
YES YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS ABOUT TAYLOR HAVE FINALLY BEEN SHREDDED!!!
now please do the same with Harry Styles PLEASE REACT TO HIS ALBUMS, ONE WAS GRAMMY NOMINATED AS WELL! Would love to get your professional opinion on them!
RED is the album i come back to the most and the only one I keep in my car on physical
Please can you do a full RED album review!!
taylor with a stripped down production is everything. fans have waited for her to make an album like it, and thank god we got folklore and evermore.
and yeah if you want another taylor swift album with great songwriting, listen to Red (or Speak Now - which is a self written album)
Love u Jon u the best no doubt
You definitely need to react to her older albums, Red especially! Definitely her strongest album after folklore.
YES
congrats on your 2k patreons man!
all too well is long regarded as her best song of all time and champagne problems is being compared to finally being kind of a contender for her best
you should react to Right Where You Left Me from the Evermore Deluxe tracks
okay John, it’s been out for a while, out with it youuuu
OMG FINALLY THIS MASTERPIECE!!!!
You should check out her Tiny Desk Concert or the private acoustic performance of the whole RED album. Those more intimate, paired down performances are where Taylor and her lyricism really shine.
Yeyyyy I love you please do more Taylor reaction! Can you react to the bonus tracks on evermore and folklore???
Check out Gallant’s Album Ology. Definitely has a Weeknd type voice and vibe. I think you would like it.
This song got me into her years ago and there is a rehearsal version of this that is even better. Fucking gets me everytime this one.
My fave song + my fave channel ❤️
I subscribed to your channel because of your Taylor reactions, and i am sure many people did too. pleaaaase just react to red album, reputation, fearless (taylor's version). they are all so beautiful, just like you and your reactions. please create more Taylor Swift content. i would be soo happy

Yes, dude! Bring on all the Taylor.
If you love watching just her and the piano singing this, her npr tiny desk performance of this song is EXQUISITE
You could also react to Speak Now, she wrote that by her own!!!
YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO HER ALBUMS!!! I WOULD LOVEEEE TO SEE YOUR REACTION😂🙌🏼
When Taylor's voice here kinda shaky but it really sounds good, all I can say is WOW👏
react to her older albums, Jon.. we will be watching and supporting you!
Not to make you watch two All Too Well performances but she also sings All Too Well on her reputation Stadium Tour (available on Netflix) and she just uses her guitar with her crowd singing along with her and it's a really moving moment.
You NEED to react to red and rep!! Seriously unreal albums!!
We need a Red and Reputation react 🥰
Watch the Grammy rehearsal version of this.. I think it is even better
shocked that you still didn't react to reputation, it's TOTALLY in your alley
More Taylor reactions pleaseeeeeeeeeee
Love this song. Thanks!
I'm waiting for your "Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher" reaction💪😁
