This reaction I made a long time ago but it has been in the dispute until late last night when it finally got released. That is why it took so long to come out.
The fact that you recognized that’s these are the traits of a narcissist was incredible. Great reaction.
Agreed. What he did to her during that argument is called gaslighting by the way, which is a favorite tool of a narcissist.
"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest" is honestly my fav lyric 🤍
Same
I think it might be my favorite lyric of all time, but there's sooooo many good ones in this song, it blows my mind! 🤯
-You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath.
-the idea you had of me; who was she? A never needy, ever lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you.
That last one gets me every time, too. Sooooo good!
“You kept like me like a secret but I kept you like an oath” 😩
I still love the good old "I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here".
It was mine too in the short version... now it's "Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again
But I'm still trying to find it"
I love how Dylan after this was released changed his social media accounts to “Dylan O’Brien (Taylor’s Version)”
At this point my hobby is watching how people react to Taylor Swift's lyrics
Same though
Same!
Same! This guy is great - so astute and empathetic. A very very close second to my top favourite Reactioner (if that’s a word!) @KnoxHill
Just the fact that Sadie is the same age that Taylor was and Dylan the same age as Jake was during there relationship. Seeing how young Sadie is makes it even more heartbreaking
The fact that you explained Jake Gyllenhaal without even knowing it just proves how good Sadie and Dylan told the story
Omg yeeess, I was laughing the whole time because he was describing Jake Gyllenhaal perfectly hahahaha
I never knew how much I didn't like his fucking face until recently. (I'm a new swiftie) I just wanna punch it! 😬🤜🏼💩 (In my defense I'm home sick loaded with tylenol advil etc so maybe I'm a little hype rn)
Your reaction was THE BEST I have seen to date. You appreciated all aspects of the song and saw what Taylor was trying to convey to us about that relationship (and afterward!)
It really made it worse when the media took pictures of Jake in Taylor’s scarf after they were broken up (13 years later… like she said). She really deserves to win some award for this because it’s absolutely phenomenal. Dylan and Sadie, too!
That was the most calm reaction to the “fuck the patriarchy” line that I’ve ever seen 😆
Agreed, but I think it's because he'd never heard the original.
Thank you for mentioning the over abundance of insincere apologies. I've seen some reactors say "at least he said sorry" or something along those lines, and that was so mind boggling to me. That particular part made my skin crawl with how fake those "I'm sorry's" sounded.
No way! Anyone can see those ‘sorry’s’ were fake
Gaslighting
TRUE
Yeah, it’s a way to make it stop. Not a legitimate apology.
Girl YES
"You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath" line just wrecks me. she's such a lyrical genius
A little backstory!
So yes, this song is about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. He was 29 at the time, and she was 20. she then turned 21, and she was SO excitd to present him to everyone she loved (her family and friends) but didn't show up at her birthday as he promissed. that was a breaking point for her (and for her family too). a huge red flag. She talks about this specific event in "the moment i knew". In "Coney Island" (from her last album "Evermore") she also wrote a line inspired in this moment.
-This relationship of them kinda went on and off at the end, this is illustrated when she says "and you call me back again just to break me like a promise", and then she has an entire song about it called "We are never ever getting back together", which has a way more happy tone (it talks about how he would call her and they would go back together and then it would go down to hell again and so on and so on).
-At one point she sings "and i was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes..." she mentions in many songs about how he would make her feel stupid whenever she would try to be funny. In "I bet you think about me" with the line "You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes". Also in the song "Begin again" with the line "i think its strange that you think im funny cause HE never did" (HE being Jake)
- She mentions a scarf that she forgot there at her sister's house, and when they broke up he mailed her back everything she owned except that one scarf. there are actual photos of them together with her wearing that scarf and then pictures of him after their breakup wearing it. You can see him here, at the end of the video, wearing that scarf when she is presenting her book. This scarf makes a cameo in the music video of "i bet you think about me". Taylor gives a present to "his new bride" (its his wedding day) and in that package there is the scarf, which the bride accepts happily.
-Both in "we are never ever getting back together" and "i bet you think about me" she mentions of how fan he was of indie music, and how he would belittle her music style. insinuating it wasn't cool/sophisticated enough. He hated pop music, and this is why she made the song "we are never ever getting back together" so catchy and as much pop as possible. the line is → "And you would hide away and find your peace of mind, With some indie record that's much cooler than mine", and for "i bet you think about me →"I bet you think about me when you're out
, At your cool indie music concerts every week". (you should totally react to that music video btw, its amazing, both the video and the song!)
I think one of the saddest parts of this song is the underlying tone that she believes(at the time of writing) that it could've worked out if he had just been patient with her. Like the line about how it was love and he never called it what it was. And the line about it was a masterpiece until he tore it all up. And the back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known. And how it was rare. And she's literally saying that's how she remembers it. Yes there were hiccups, but she remembers it as being her greatest love. When it was such a nightmare of a relationship.
@@dottiequinn9625 absolutely. It was such an important thing for Taylor, and he handled it with such little care
@@dottiequinn9625 totally agree. It is very interesting when you pose it that way, particularly in contract to what was said above about how he treated her. It makes me wonder why relationships like this are so hard to get over, especially when a person is treated so badly. Abuse and the power and control wheel come to mind. Curious what others think.
@@TheEtherealgrl from my understanding of the situation (which is very little) the line it reminds you of innocence makes me think that she thought of him as a grown up and a grown real relationship. She thought there was a chance at forever. And when people get that feeling of this is "it" there's a change. All of a sudden it's easier to excuse "indiscretions all in good fun" (tolerate it). She was willing to let a grown man basically groom her into his perfect bride because she believed him to be her future husband. In the line "you told me about your past thinking your future was me" she remembers him talking like it would be forever. So to me, it feels like he gave her the impression they would get married only for him to ruin everything by dumping her and then strung her along to "break her like a promise".
She talks about this shift in a few of her songs. She also talks about how difficult it is to be with her. So she probably thinks/thought of it as a trade off. Of course this is all speculation.
It could have also been a trust in him as the older person, that he would bring her to his level of maturity or make her better in some way.
@@TheEtherealgrl From experience.. it might be hard to get over because.. they don’t treat you badly the entire time. The beginning is such a whirlwind of romance and “Is he real?” No one has ever made me feel this way. Blah blah. My ex took a lot of time treating me with feigned adoration. The ever so charming facade, the protector, the wooing me, giving me just enough praise that I would go out of my way to do more for him to feel that validation. And then they have you. Your happiness and mood is based off of theirs. It became this weird co dependent thing that happens so little by little you don’t realize it until they start to treat you like shit and everything is your fault and you ruined a perfectly great time by bitching about something afterwards. The age gap is relatable for me as well. Like Jake, my ex was 10 years older than me. So I think we were at this age where we have this inexperience in love and it’s easy to take advantage of that. They love how special we make them feel because we are genuinely falling in love with them and for them it’s just an ego trip. Sorry that was so long lol but that’s my insight.
The argument scene was improvised by Sadie and Dylan! And it was so good that they decided to keep it.
It was scripted, just the overall dialogue was a lot of improvising. The fight was always planned in the script and with a certain theme & direction.
Bestie That's not what taylor meant when she said they improvised that scene 💀💀💀
@@marabu_00 yes that's what i meant by 'argument scene', worded it incorrectly
@@tantheta2184 i know, i worded it incorrectly 😭
@@bhaveshl26 edit it bestie
I don't know if there's an Oscar category for a short film of this kind, but this should get nominated. A masterpiece, I agree. Thanks for your thoughtful reaction.
There is a Best Live Action Short Film category. 😊🤞
If Taylor were to win that Oscar, she would have more than Jake G, as he has no Oscars
@@annikaschwartz9195 😂
@o taylor directed it and made a cameo in it. Directors can get awards for their work.
There is and the fact that this didn't get nominated is a crime.
I'd sell myself into slavery to watch Jake Gyllenhaal's first reaction to the short film
same bestie😝😂
The way none of us would even hesitate
😳😳
The fact that we would do that for Blondie 🤡🤡🤡🙈
IM DEAD LMFAOOOO I CANNOT PLSSSSS
2 things that really hit me from the short film:
1. at the end I think it's so important that she is just repeating over and over again "you remember it all too well" because during the fighting scene he is constantly gaslighting her telling her that he doesn't remember what happened but she knows that he remembers it just like he remembers the relationship at its goods and bads even if he says he doesn't.
2. at the end of the film when taylor is reading her book, the audience is her fans. she is able to retell her story to us and use it as a way to connect and redefine what it means. If you read her mouth she actually says "I walked through the door with you, the air was cold," which is the first line of the song.
honestly i could do a whole analysis on the genius of taylor swift with this film and how much details she put into it but those are probably my favorites
the way she shone a light on Gaslighting and Love-Bombing is fantastic... so many people can see their own toxic experiences in this and hopefully it helps them find the strength and clarity to get out. This whole song and film is a masterpiece
Everything about this short film is so perfect yet so heartbreaking. Taylor, Sadie and Dylan did an amazing job with it. I don’t even have the words to describe it.. it’s one of the best, yet also one of the saddest things I’ve watched. The lyrics, the acting… everything is just so well done.
I hope she gets an Oscar nod for this and also the actors deserve one also. She says so much in 13 min. Amazing! Let’s see if The Academy will shine a light on one of their male “ darlings” who is known for repeating this act with many young starlets. Taylor exposed him but she may have been the only one to be Able to strike that blow. I will never watch another of his films or interviews the same, never again find him charming.
The fact that Taylor has not only written but also directed this masterpiece is insane to me.
I mean it literally happened to her 💀
The argument scene wasn't supposed to be this long but Sadie and Dylan were so amazing that they kept rolling
7:28 I love that you said this, I don't know of you realized but the whole fighting scene was just in one shot. They started improvising and then they kept it in the film. That's probably why it looks so realistic
Incredible
"I'll get older but your lovers stay my age" is such an underrated lyric. That is the case for a lot of people and it fits so well with the song. The lyrics of All Too Well are incredible like "You call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest". Taylor is a lyrical genius
Seriously, I love the way you can pay attention to every detail that's going on!! The video, the song, the lyrics. Not everyone can do that. Keep it up man!
all too well: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, sh!t on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
"i just know that it's gonna be a nicholas sparks movie where it kills you at the end" so on point 😭
agree. noticed that too
Theres a line In her song sad beautiful Tragic about the kitchen situation. "Distance, Timing, break down fighting. The train runs off its tracks. Kiss me, try to fix it. Could you just try to listen?"
almost all fight scene is really improv.. they are such great actors
i'm so glad you caught "you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest." some people didn't catch it, and it's been an iconic lyric among stans since the original version was released in 2012. thanks for appreciating it as much as we do
i also REALLY appreciate that you pause the video to comment on something, but then go back a few seconds to make sure you don't miss anything. idk why that's so rare in reactions but imo it helps reactors get a better grasp of a song so much more.
Your comments on the charismatic/narcissistic type of person was bang on!
I loved your reaction and analysis of everything! Your ability to put yourself in her shoes is what enables you to empathize with her and have such a raw reaction and feel for her, I love that. Another favorite lyric of mine is "You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath"
That was also a fantastic lyric
And wearing her RED scarf at the end! Brilliant 👏
To me, the best part of your videos is when you pause and get your thoughts out, also sometimes when you rewind to hear again and make a point. You always have some great points to make.
I don't get why some people dislike the pausing.
Same, I'll take the pausing over talking over and missing parts. Especially if they then don't rewind what they miss and then have the audacity to be confused to what's happening. Like, if you paid attention you would see the context clues and solve it yourself... (okay, so this trait pisses me off...a lot more than normal, sorry 😐)
What you said about people who try to be charming to everyone to get other people to like them really struck home for me …. My ex boyfriend was genuinely exactly like that and he was so incredible to me in the beginning of our relationship but once he got comfortable and knew I liked him he completely starting treating me like shit and was still so kind and outgoing to every single other person around him… so damn thank you for describing that
It was shot on 35mm film instead of Digital. It gives it that look. It used to be standard, but now most use digital.
Dam, you're face looked so sad when they were fighting! It's such an emotional scene that feels real a lot of people probably can connect to
The square visual of the film, looks like a moving album cover.
"You call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest." is such an iconic line 👌🏼
but I gotta say, my fav line in this song is definitely "You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath"
I’ve never seen a man understand all the nuances is her writing in this way. Incredible video!!
13:41
I think you were looking for the word "justify" maybe?
Loved the reaction!
I hadn't heard this song before the 10 minute version came out. And I'm so glad it did because I was acquainted with this lyrical masterpiece!!
Maybe "excuse"
for me, this song is clearly her best, the lyrics hit so hard, the instrumental is incredible, everything's perfect about it
Shes on another level. This long version was absolutely beautifully crafted.
Never thought you would hear a 10 min song that never gets repetitive or boring.
Your impressions were so on point!! This is, if not the best, one of the best Taylor songs imo. I can’t even listen to the 5 min version anymore cause this one’s perfect
This 10 minutes version because of her fans and Everytime she perform this live you can really feel her emotions as she wrote this song
You reacted so perfectly to the fight scene. I've seen a few men watch this and they have not understood it. Most agree with the guy that she was being 'crazy', Your insight and empathy to her point of view kind of blew me away. Thanks so much for this!
She’s a genius songwriter, in my opinion. Wise beyond her years. She has been directing her music videos for a while now. 🎶⭐️
sadie sink is amazing cant believe she is 19 only
I normally hate reaction videos, especially to female artists. I feel like the youtuber is just pretending to be impressed for likes and subscribers. You seem genuine. Thank you for that. Please don’t change.
Yeah so true what you said that this is such a common "relationship gone wrong"" story. They captured it so good, and great acting. And again, Tayler's way with lyricism. Insightful with beautiful play with words. Poetry.
One of the best reactions I've watched to this song.
Congrats to Taylor but also to you!!! I like how u judged his behavior.. The fast that u understood how he was hurting her but did it so nonchalantly (if thats the way to say it, im Slovenian😅), but then twisting it and make it like it’s her fault.. And then saying sorry just to make it stop cause he’s annoyed/tired of it not cause it is hurting him to see her hurt.. I feel it is so common these days but so toxic..
And for u as a man to recognize her hurt and his intentional and manipulative behavior and to admit all that without seeing her as being dramatic or overreacting, “creating a problem from literally nothing”..
Woah, just thank you. I didnt know it but I needed your reaction in my life.. your wife is a lucky girl! ♥️
everything about this shortfilm and the song in general screams legendary! i loved hearing your interpretations on this one
It's super interesting what u said about the male character and the comments on his personality and him potentially being a narcissist. The song is presumably about Jake Gyllenhaal (I mean it's pretty confirmed cuz Dylan looks way too much like him in this and the whole age gap storyline and the scarf thing in the short film mirrors their relationship) and now Im not a psychiatrist so Im not going to actually diagnose Jake with being a narcissist, but as someone who was a big fan of his and watched a lot of his interviews and stuff, he definitely puts on a really charming and charismatic facade like u talked about. As soon as I watched this short film, a doubt never crossed my mind that Jake would be able to say and do the things that taylor mentions in this because in his interviews he comes across very funny and charming but u can almost tell that he's putting on an act. Idk, it just was crazy for me, who was very familiar with the way Jake acted on tv to see him broken down by someone who knew him a lot better than I did. And a big thing that ive heard is that Jake was very pretentious and wanted to be seen as "a serious actor" and so that's why he kind of hid their relationship, almost like he was ashamed of his own image if he was seen with young, naive, good girl Taylor (hence the lyric, u kept me like a secret and I kept u like an oath, meaning both he wanted to hide their relationship but also that he had little loyalty to the relationship like how a lot of people have little loyalty to keeping a secret) and in his interviews as well as the roles he takes u can 100% tell he's pretentious and would be the type of person who was too worried about how people perceived him rather than being there for their partner.
fun fact: sadie & dylan improvised that fight scene in the kitchen! it’s crazy. they are so talented!
Great reaction and analysis. And when you said it’s like a Nicholas Sparks film, you weren’t wrong. We love a man who reads 🤧
a ✨ masterpiece ✨
The best reaction to this song yet🙌🏻
Sadie and Dylan's acting is just AMAZING I literally could see Taylor and Jake
Dylan and Sadie killed it great acting you could feel the song even more by the way awesome directing by Taylor
I love when you call Jake a narcissist. 😆 🤣 😂
I'm not even much of a T Swift fan, but I have to give her mad props for this entire experience. The lyrics, the vocals, the short film. Good Lawd. Fantastic. And man, do the lyrics hit hard and deep in places. "So casually cruel in the name of being honest." I was married to a narcissist so this song brings a lot out I thought I'd dealt with. And btw, your reactions are the best and most enjoyable I've ever watched.
I have post traumatic narcissist disorder. He has PTSD. The curse put on us amplified all our strengths and weaknesses.
Hey so finally it got unblocked!! Always wait for your reactions dude😃 So some quick history-
*This song was her magnum opus(still is) when it was 5 min long in 2012 album Red. It was initially 15 min long and then it was cut to fit the album until us fans pestered her to release it and she finally did it🥺
* Also its about Jake Gyllenhaal and the age gap between the the actors here is same as she and Jake had(9-10yrs).
*He didn't show up at her 21st birthday, and there's a theory in her fanbase that's why she was so happy for her 22nd birthday that she wrote a song about it🥺
Last but not the least, can you please react to Nothing new by her?
Damnnn, that was sooo goood! Taylor is amazing and I've just started learning about her and her music. Lyrics are so good but also paintful uh
Jake give back the scarf bruh
She's so talented, that film was great and it's so cool to have this moment with everyone, that we can have this version now
I'm starting to be swiftie
Welcome to the club! ❤🤗
@@tomygirl18 Thank you 🥰❤
I literally so impressed by her
When I will be have more free time I must find some people on twitter that can help me understand everything better
@@shinla4473 She's an amazing musician/person! So jealous you get to experience a lot of her stuff for the first time, you're in for a wonderful journey 🤗 There are a lot of great fan pages on Facebook/Instagram, etc. I'm sure you'll get a lot of great help on what to listen to and connecting threads; Taylor's a master when it comes to easter eggs and callbacks 😅 A good tip is to Google articles that help explain her different albums, especially her newer ones; Folklore and Evermore because there is a lot to decipher! Best of luck, and enjoy!! 🥰
@@tomygirl18 Oo, that articles idea is great, thank you :D I hear about easter eggs a lot and I really like that, in 1D fandom we play with this too and it's always feeling like working for fbi haha
I really exited about her work, I watched Miss Americana and I feel like this movie show me so many important things about her
I loved watching how she work and write songs, she's in the right place
Ive been in an abusive relationship and i broke free with my familys help, but you are right: this is aweful. Always thinking thats my fault, that im not good enough, that my past is gross and that i have to be ashame of me, negative comments about my body and how i act with other Mans like i would like to sleep with Everyone of Them. You know, the facade is not just put on by the nascissist, Also by the victim, all fuckin Day long. TKS for this reaction, and for realizing that saying sorry is not enough.
Beautiful reaction. Thank you!
In fact the scene where she's with his friends and they arge takes us back to the song "I Bet You Think About Me" where she sings about that exact moment, just like the Candles/Birthday scene meant to the other song called "The Moment I Knew"
Taylor is just amazing
Dude, like you could’ve been me now and me you then. We touched on most of the points. To surmise it, I know I have witnessed grandness in my lifetime (older than you) after seeing, listening and relating to this. The woman is a force and she has gotten so much sh!t over it. I’ve heard the stuff about “she only writes about the men in her life.” Well, so do most men when they have sung about those relationships too and you never hear anything negative about it. She is at the precipice of change with a lot of the older (some of them conservative) peeps and a lot of the younger (many of them more liberal) ones clashing over women’s rights, feelings, understanding, men’s advantage in society and then we want to silence the few women who can actually put it so succinctly as she does. I mean, she is the GOAT.
She can direct, write songs, sing, act, dance, is a super savvy business woman, etc. but people don’t recognize that at all. I am with TSwift all the way here and before. I’m still trying to catch up with all of the songs, so although a Swiftie here, I’m a new one at that. So, I commend you for sharing your opinion so openly man. I think it’s always important for so many of us to speak up about these things that will otherwise go through the cracks unchecked. The scene about the fight, I saw the same things you did and his frantic yet biased conduct when he wanted to just sweep it under the rug in his own terms when in all reality, he never listened to her at all. He just didn’t want to talk about it anymore. And, you can tell by how she looks away when he’s hugging her.
I love your reactions specially of taylor’s songs… and how you described the narcissists… sometimes we do not realize we are actually dealing with one cause they tend to mess up with our heads 😖
Thnks for the video 💕
EXCUSE it doest EXCUSE it omg screaming at the screen the word 13:45
This very impressive short made me a TS fan. Recently I found out about re-recording her music. Which is clearly a baller move. Then this? Directed by the pop singer? Gave it a shot… holy shit. O’Brien has been groomed to be good. Sink has barely hit the scene and she’s a revaluation in this. Just… wow.
i love your break down and understanding on this one!!
It's about Jake Gyllenhaal. He's fine in his new life. He's done playing his part and as Taylor said, it's such an old song everyone needs to apply these songs to their lives. This song is beautiful, but old.
Taylor's artistic vision and creation can not be overestimated. I bet she will found her own film studio, write, direct, and produce films, and create further masterpieces. Her older videos (some of which she directed) fortell of this short film. Even if you don't react to them, you should check out her music videos: Out of the Woods, Look what you made me do, Delicate, The Man, You need to calm down, etc., etc, : ) Your reaction to My Tears Richochet is the best!
Omg! The fact that you mentioned Nicholas Sparks is so appropriate! 💙✌🏻
I think the scene where you said it was her going out and trying to take her mind off things or something like that was actually her going with him to an event related to his job and being left alone since it was during the "some actress asking me what happened" line and this is rumored to be about Jake Gyllenhaal who is an actor. Great reaction, by the way!!!
I think its a public event like an awards ceremony. Apparently the actress might be Anne Hathaway, the sobbing in the bathroom could have actually happened.
@@loud_hailer6240 She mentioned a "party bathroom" so i was imagining something more casual than an awards ceremony but that could be right, i don't know what would be the connection to Anne Hathaway though...
@@juliasilva4007 There is speculation (in articles) that Anne Hathaway knew Jake and they were in a movie together (Love and other drugs) So apparently she found Taylor in the bathroom, they talked and she "saw her become who she is today" Like when you console someone and say you are way better than how you are being treated. in my opinion it makes the like "what happened.. YOU" because the actress did know who Taylor was refering to.
Any who this is all speculation. What an amazing writer Taylor is :)
@@loud_hailer6240 That's interesting, i don't follow jake's career so i didn't even have a guess as to who the actress was, thanks for telling me, if this is true, it's hilarious that THE anne hathaway became "some actress" in the song lmao
@@juliasilva4007 I know! but i dont think she means it as a diss, more like it could have been anyone ? but she is savage tho hehe
I love that at the end of the video he was standing there wearing her scarf as he turned around to walk away. The lyrics and melody for this songg is literally Everything.!💞
This is the reaction I've been looking for. Thank you. The way you pay attention to every detail, especially the lyrics that POP. And the fight scene analysis was spot on. Really well done. Love this.
Your reaction is just perfect. The acting here is incredible. Taylor did an amazing job writing and directing a short film that totally conveys the message of her song. The whole concept of the song/movie of learning a person isn't who they first come across as doesn't just apply to a romantic relationship. Like you said, it tends to happen when people are very charismatic. They make you feel important or special from the moment you first meet them. After awhile you're no longer important or special, because they've moved on to the next new person they have charmed. The argument can be very similar regarding being made to feel like you are the one being selfish and the way it gets flipped back onto you. Unless you find someone else who they've done the same thing to, you have no one to talk to about it because everyone else thinks they are still the most amazing person they have ever met. You can tell others are very uncomfortable when you do try to talk to them because they have never seen that side of the person before, and still think they are one of best people they have ever met in their lives. You're the bad guy, even though you were just along for the ride.
The thing that really gets me....At the very end of the long dialogue part where he is repeatedly saying he is sorry, it sounds to me like he admits he dropped her hand....three minutes before that he said over and over that he didn't even remember what she was talking about.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the narcissist comparison. I think Jake is one or at least has some characteristics. People don't understand why she was so hung up on this relationship that didn't last very long but dating a narcissist has a profound effect on you. They leave a void that is like nothing you've ever experienced before. I had a similar relationship in my 30s with a similar timeline and sometimes wonder if I'll ever get over the hurt it caused. Still, years later, I can remember the magic and the succeeding pain leftover.
They say the “red scarf” is a metaphor for her “v-card”
“The Moment I Knew” is a great song to hear and connects to this song through the birthday scene, it expands on that part of the story further. It’s very heart wrenching and will also make you feel a lot in a very little amount of time. Taylor has a way of placing such complex thoughts and emotions into extremely simple sentences with just a few words. It’s quite brilliant. You have a way of expanding on what Taylor writes in very insightful ways. I really enjoy your reactions!
It also highlights the age difference between a 29 year old man’s and a 20 year old girl and the power play there.
damn im not even a fan but DAMN TAYLOR IM CRYING GURL YOURE AMAZING
She’s an incredible woman. Sadly, he took her innocence, broke up with her shortly after, and didn’t even show up for her 21st birthday 💔 This is Taylor and Jakė Gyllénhaal. 💔🥺😭
I've posted this in a couple of other reaction videos, but in case you missed it, "An Upstate Escape", "1st Break in The Glass", "The Breaking Point", "The Reeling", "The Remembering", "13 Years Gone"... those were all chapters in her book "All Too Well"... and if you read Taylors lips when she's at the podium, she says, "I walked through the door with you, the air was cold"... and Sadie acted her ASS off!!!
I gotta admit I didn't pay too close attention to the lyrics when I first watched this, and I also don't know many of her songs... but god help me I am sobbing right now 😭
I will be checking out more of her music for sure!
I believe this is Taylor’s Magnum Opus.
the line "and you call me up again just to break me like a promise" parallels to one of the From The Vault songs "Babe", i believe that what she sings in the bridge is what he told her on the phone when he broke her like a promise
The way you said that it was like Nicholas Sparks movie was like you read my mind! It really seems like something he would’ve written but a short story version.
I'd like to ask this man "Are you real?" Bc when do you see a straight guy enjoying taylor swift, simpatizing and understanding the meaning of it, and just appreciate her art lol
I really enjoyed this reaction. I agree with everything you said. At first I wasn't sure if 10 minutes are too long but with All Too Well they fly by every time. These rerecordings give us so many good things out of a bad situation. :) It's nice to see all the Taylor reactions here btw. :)
I don’t really listen to the shorter version now, my soul craves the 10 min version every time!
Funny you mentioned how you liked the way it was shot in a square, it was actually recorded on film. If you pause it at the bit where they’re sat at the lake you can see the cigar burn where the reel ended
It pleases me when I see someone reacting to this song and short film for the first time in their life :3
"But you keep my old scarf from that very first week" there are pictures of Taylor & Jake Gyllenhaal on a date in which Taylor wore a scarf, and another picture of Jake wearing the same scarf AFTER they broke up.
Sadie Sink is amazing!!!...I need more Sadie!!
Everytime u explain parts of the song or the video i was like nodding every single time. The song is just so heart felt. Exactly a masterpiece!
Notice that she is the one clearing up after the dinner party, while he can't even look at her...
It absolutely is a masterpiece!
