Olivia has said that "hope ur ok" is the closer because she wanted to acknowledge that despite the heartbreak shes experienced, many lgbtq+ people she grew up with never got to experience any of the good parts of young love and she wanted to reach out to them. It's really sweet. Especially bookended by brutal, since she addresses the hardships of gen-z's youth in both songs.
@@chungleanne2690 yes, i took it to mean she was implying that he as abused because he was gay ("his parents cared more about the bible than being good to their own child")

thank you so much girls, the video is certainly AMAZING and I am very happy to see you supporting Olivia's work, she is a great songwriter. Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
I swear the bridge in jealousy jealousy is gonna be an absolute bop at concerts. It was pretty much made to be screamed by fans and the "happier, prettier, jealousy, jealousy" line is gonna be amazing.
Olivia Rodrigo is the artist I wish I had at that age 20+ years ago. Grateful that teens nowadays have an artist like her. Just gonna go sit in my little corner and listen to Sour on repeat so I can try and process all that angst again.
I’m glad I have Sour at 40 as it is wonderful music for these times. It is timeless music, but it is nice to hear with all these years of experiences as an adult just as many teens are hearing Sour now.
I was a camp counselor this summer and the amount of middle schoolers and elementary schoolers who were screaming these songs with so much passion had me thinking "who hurt yall" especially Good 4 You.
someone from tiktok had a theory why this album called Sour is because not a single song from this album is love or happy song. the theory is she will release a sister album and she will call it "Sweet" that only contains love and happy songs. The easter egg was from the pr package she sent out that has Sweet and Sour patches on it.
or it could be because being "sour" means being jealous, well, in a chinese perspective atleast lol. "drinking vinegar" means being jealous hence "sour" and almost all the songs have a lyrics talking about how pretty the new girl is. maybe its just me lol

Reasons why I have trust issues: happiness - Taylor Swift Happiness - Rex Orange County happier - Olivia Rodrigo Happier - Ed Sheeran We Were Happy - Taylor Swift
Her whole album is practically just a therapy session, starting off with a breakdown, moving on to her explaining her relationship, then ending with the realization that she’s not ok and she hopes that her past relationships even though they where friends might not be ok too.
Yes and sometimes people say it’s a gay song but just like you said it’s about two people who were treated badly I am one of the biggest Olivia rodrigo fan 💜💜💜and by the way his name is Joshua basset
I feel like Olivia has very unique lyrics. Like she pulls inspiration from other artists and that’s just a fact. But the way the she mixes those themes and ways of singing makes her as an individual singer/songwriter very good.
@@KittyCat-co8fs Olivia interpolated the melody of New Year's Day in the song, that's why Taylor and Jack are credited as writers! They didn't directly help in writing the song
@@KittyCat-co8fs Taylor didn't write the lyrics of the song. Olivia wrote the lyrics. Olivia interpolated the melody of New Year's Day into 1 Step Forward - that's why Taylor and Jack get credit too...solely for the melody - NOT the lyrics. Olivia did change up the melody too
“Enough For You” is the only song on the album she wrote completely on her own which just makes it so much more vulnerable. And her producer was hesitant to put “Brutal” on the album so it was a last minute addition but pretty much everyone loves it!
@@Laurica-lb6nv I'm curious....where did you read that she only wrote the chorus? Because every thing I've read so far says she wrote the chorus and verses for Happier.
So.. at the Britz awards she gave everyone LETTERS with “hope ur ok” written on it Her butterfly wings represent everyone that helped her grow (like from a caterpillar to a butterfly) And the “hope ur ok” letters are for the holes in her butterfly wings.. the holes being the people who weren’t/aren’t doing that well Got me f’ed up
also I saw a comment somewhere on another reaction video about how butterflies can't fly if their wings are damaged and I thought that was really powerful too
almost 2 years late, but i think "hope ur ok" was the closer for the album because she's essentially trying to say that even though she's going through emotional heartbreak, there are people with other situations that are way worse than hers. the scale of emotional endurance that they had to go through would be 10x harder to do than Olivia's situation. it really humanises her and adds relatability to her experience too. she's saying that she will be ok herself, but she hopes for the same to those around her.
i love "hope ur ok" because not only does it discuss homophobia/queer youth (which i always appreciate in a song being as i have been out since i was 11) but when she says "i hope you know how proud i am you were created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred" shes saying "you're not your parents, just because they believe something doesn't make YOU a bad person" and that is a message i, as well as many other people I'm sure, definitely need from time to time. When i hear the second verse talking about olivia's middle school friend and how her parents "hated who she loved" I absolutely lose it cause even tho I wasn't alone, my parents were home a lot, their gay jokes/bigotry made me feel so freaking isolated, to the point where i didn't come out till i was 18 (and that was on accident lmao) that song really speaks to me on multiple levels.
as somebody who's also out (not to parents LMAOO but to my friends), this is my fave song from sour bc of that reason. also bc it's j genuinely a great song, but its just so important. the message is so important. im sure there's some closeted kid out there who feels far less alone bc of this song which is epic bc nobody deserves to feel alone esp in their sexuality.
Ok but didn’t anyone notice in deja vu when she says “we kinda do sound the same” there’s a harmony which is indicating two voices. Olivia’s voice and the other girl’s voice. Ofcourse they’re both Olivia but I think it was added to accommodate that line about how they sounds the same. I thought it was interesting
i love olivia and this album so much, she just proved that she’s here to fucking stay, she's truly amazing and she has a brilliant future ahead her, can't wait to see that as well... now let's all pray that the next reaction will be 1989 taylor's version like the rumors that are going on around..................
everytime y'all say 'that's a fucked up lyric' i could not stop laughing lol i love how deep you guys got into each song, this may be my favorite reaction to her album. i'm glad to see the love for 1 step forward, 3 step backs, unfortunately a lot of people underrate it so much! i think its brilliant the way she took such an amazing song already and made it her own somehow, and still made it sound good.
have you guys thought about reacting to Conan gray? he’s another young artist that regards Taylor as a big influence on him, he and Olivia are buddies too. He’s got a bunch of stuff out though.
This is my favorite reaction to this album so far. Lots of attention to the lyrical excellence and some pretty darn good insights regarding song construction and production as well. And your interaction with each other is the kind you only have with a really good friend ... it's a real conversation, not a performance. Well done!
Your conversation over "1 step forward 3 steps back" was so impressive , deep, structured, comparative and comprehensive that it made me freaking reconsider aspects of my own dissertation! This has nothing to do with what I am writing, but the way you addressed the song was EPIC. You both are magnificent. You don't just say "wow, damn, I love this, it hits home, etc." You actually dive in, pick something and run with it. I love you both! Thanks for the great video!
She said it’s called sour because it’s about the souring of a romantic relationship and also your relationship with yourself. She said growing up she was so confident in herself and then after that first heartbreak, she suddenly had all these doubts and questioned her self-worth. That first kind of rejection is one of the most unpleasant shocks of adulthood - that someone who knew you so intimately could revert back to being a complete stranger. And so she said a lot of self-doubt crept in and she felt her relationship with herself souring. She also said she wanted to play on the idea that she’s dealing with emotions that girls are usually kinda looked down upon for feeling. Like jealousy, spite, rage. We are made to feel like it’s childish and cringey to feel as intensely as we do if a guy has cheated or something, and are made fun of for it. She’s embracing those emotions and the fact that she’s sour unapologetically💞💞
The way neither of them got that "hope ur okay" was about homophobia made me wonder how different it is where they live...as a queer American this song got me right from the beginning and it means so much to me
Yeah I’m also a queer American and I picked up on it too. One of my good friends is Australian and we actually talked about this. She said how it’s not that being queer isn’t accepted, it just that it’s not as talked about there. The conversation about being queer is growing to become more prominent in America and the topic isn’t as widely talked about there
@@chungleanne2690 Well because of the line "His parents cared more about the bible Than being good to their child" I think that while yes it is about abuse, it's about being abused specifically because of being LGBT.
She has at least 5 Grammy nominations on lock. Pop Vocal Album, Pop Solo, BNA, ROTY, SOTY. AOTY is within reach depending on how well the full set holds up for the rest of the year. I would be SHOCKED if she misses any of the first five though.
I get the fact that Olivia will be looked at through the Taylor lenses, but can we give Olivia the props for coming out with this album at 18 years old. Cmon. Let’s look at Olivia as Olivia, not only Taylor’s stan.
I don't feel like we took away any credit from Olivia when talking or comparing her to Taylor. She has sought inspiration from Taylor and many other artist and we just discussed that, I think its cool to see that!
@@chatsandreacts I didn’t say anything about “taking away the credit” I was simply saying how we should look at her achievement at 18 years old and just enjoy the music ☺️ I’m a HUGE Swiftie myself, and of course I see that Olivia was heavily inspired by Taylor’s art of songwriting, but again, she’s her own person, creating things from her own experiences. She deserves all the hype she gets, just for being herself 💗
@@martynacysia783 do you think she got all hype by her self from the beginning ? literally her listener are full with swifties and if they say Taylor inspired her than there's nothing wrong
FUN FACT olivia actually didn't technically sample new year's day, it was interpolated in 1step forward 3 steps back which means that's it's olivia playing the piano on the track to the same melody of new year's day but it's tweaked a bit THIS MEANS that she's not using the sample directly from the rep album (which would give money and credits to taylor's old label) but instead it gives credit directly to taylor since she hasn't re-recorded rep yet! what a fucking power move by olivia
I love how you guys are constantly talking over each other but it's in a way that finishes each others sentences/thoughts and for some reason I find it really funny but fun to listen to. Both of you are really pretty too!
I absolutely loved the you you analyzed the entire album: lyrics’ meaning, similarities between her music and others, the various emotions she expresses and most - SUPPORT AND APPRECIATION!! I think it’s important to encourage her to keep up with the good work because she has really great chances of winning anything and everything!!! :) Also, adore that you two are a perfect match ❤️
underrated line in jealousy, jealousy: when she says “beauty is not what i lack” she’s recognizing that she is the beauty standard and she’s not trying to hide that and i’ve never seen someone do that before
i don't think that she's saying/recognizing that she is the beauty standard, it's more like she's saying that someone's else's beauty doesn't take away her own, but "it feels like that"
THE WAY SHE SAID "there is actually someone out there that thinks ur enough" at the 2nd verse of enough for you and the way Olivia writes at the end of the song "feel sorry for yourself, cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else" IS CRAZY HER MIND WORKS
you guys cut the part in jealousy, jealousy when she says “you go out every night in your daddys new car yeah you’re living the life....etc” part and that was my favorite part of the song i was hoping to get your inputtt :(
NO YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IS MY COMFORT CHANNEL AND Y'ALL ARE MY FAVE TH-camRS AND I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU'D REACT TO THIS ALBUM AND IT'S AN HOUR LONG THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY AAAAAAAHH
The part where you guys pointed out her ending brutal with “Don’t know where to start” while it’s the first track on the album was the same reaction I got when I first heard the song because I’ve adapted the way you two analyze songs😅 I watched tons of reactions where I waited for them to point it out, but non of them did until you two. So the fact that we can actually share the same brain cells means a lot to me!!!
@@chatsandreacts This just made me happier huhu but it's true though. Not everyone pays attention to the arrangements of songs in an album. I admit that before, I didn't care much about the sequence until you two (as well as your friends in the background) came into my life! I'm grateful for that because it really gives a new perspective to an album which makes us love them more.
I see "favorite crime" as the closing chapter of the relationship and the heartbreak that came with it and then "hope ur ok" as her showcasing a different side of her songwriting abilities. It reminds me of what Taylor did with folklore and evermore in a way because those albums were more storytelling based with Taylor using her own experiences as an influence for writing about situations separate from her own. I feel like "hope ur ok" is the perfect album closer because it shows her depth as a songwriter and is kind of an indicator of what she's capable of. Her talent goes beyond writing songs about only heartbreak and I feel like this was the perfect way to give people a taste of that. SO ecstatic that you guys made a reaction video to this! Love this channel sm 💗
also if you listen to the end of "hope ur ok" it sounds like a car ,and that could be connected to drivers license.i also think it could be saying at the end of the song ,to the person the songs are about that she hopes they're ok too . but the song also seems like it's to the lgbtq+ youth.
Omg that’s why i felt like “i know u get deja vu” sounded similar to “i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you” and the whole bridge of deja vu just screams cruel summer vibes
28:14 ok but just imagine: it's Olivia's concert and she performs this song but instead of the second verse starting, Taylor comes out on the stage and continues singing New year's day and they finish the song doing a duet. That would be awesome
I think she is honored actually. Imagine being 18 with your first work and have all that instant sucess, and be compared to superstar. I mean what they’re doing in this video is not comparing to drag, is more to see better how her level of writing songs is already so superior lol And of course she is Olivia, nobody is saying she is the new taylor or whatever because she already showed with this album her unique work🤗
I loved "hope ur okay" its my favorite song on the album because I was in similar situations to the song, and when i first heard it i was in a lot of stuff with family and now i'm okay but when i first heard it i wasnt and i cried and it made me so happy at that moment to know that someone actually caried, and the person i was living with was abuseive and it was hard to deal with.. and this song helped me so much. Also loved your reaction so much. ❤
As someone who is turning 18 in a few days, 17 brought a lot of low mental health, but it also brought so much freedom. I gained my own individuality throughout being 17. Best of luck to you and happy early birthday
So “hope ur ok” and the “courage to unlearn all of their hatred” I feel had to do with homophobic parents. Because earlier she says “her parents hated who she loved”
it definitely can be. especially at the end where she just uses "you" and no gendered pronouns. she's trying to send this as a general message to her audience, and she has a lot of lgbtq+ fans, so it feels really nice
little fun fact, in music theory what olivia does on deja vu with the harmonies is called ‘text painting’/word painting’. it means that the lyrics reflect the music. like when a melody goes lower when the lyrics mention the word down and vice versa. there’s tons of cool examples and it’s always a good sign when producers and writers knowingly incorporate that 🥰
There are three call backs of the lyrics reflected in DejaVu. The first two are obvious, the laugh “Ha-ha-ha-ha…”, and singing in “harmony.” The third one is commonly missed: “She probably tells you she loves you between the chorus and the verse.” It’s a bit masked by the music but Olivia then whispers “I love you” right between the verse and chorus.
@@remastered-00-pl 👁👄👁bby do the math, she was born in 2003, its 2021 and she's 18, I said it was written AROUND 2019 (she was 16 in 2019) so she wrote it some time around then
olivia is such a good singer and songwriter, i really love her and her music and think she deserves all the success and love she's received in last couple of months. and i wish people would stop using "oh, but she only sings and writes about breakups and her ex" as a way of putting her down and saying she's not worthy of the success she already has. it bothers me because it's the same thing people and the media did with taylor, they were always trying to say she wasn't that good and worthy of the success because she "only sings about breakups and her exes", when men sing about their past relationships and exes everyone loves it and i never see people, or the media, criticizing them for it. it's 2021, we should accept that we all have internalized misogyny and work on that and stop projecting that on women, especially on a teenager like olivia.

i saw this comment once that said all the big singers from the last decade (taylor, ariana grande, justin bieber, etc) all have their happy endings so olivia is the new heart break song writer for the next generation that can write about her own personal experience, and i realized how true that was. (even though taylor is still writing incredible heartbreaking songs, they're just stories now were not trying to figure out who its about because she's happy now)
I’m trying to figure out who could be the next Rihanna… I mean every artist has something characteristic of them (songwriting, dancing, vocals), but Rihanna is a wildcard, the only thing that’s for sure from her are hits
What I love about this is the fact that her songs kind of open you up and lower your guard then invade with the truth, although it seems, pun intended, brutal, I think it works pretty well, and people love it because it's so relatable
Can we talk about the bridge of "1 step forward and 3 steps back"? The 1 step forward is "maybe this is all your fault" because, based on what she told us, her ex was very toxic to her. The three steps back is her denying it and trying to convince herself that she did something wrong instead of the "mr perfect" that she created the image of in her head. she says it three times: "did i say something wrong?" "going back through everything i said" and "did i do something wrong?" Brilliant.
I don’t know how interested you guys would be, but if you guys want to check out another non-Taylor album, you should totally react to Conan Gray’s Kid Krow album! He’s another BIG swiftie and had a lot of influence from her as well. 😊
She says in brutal that she can't parallel park and later in drivers license talks about how she finally got her license So I guess we know her driving journey too? Haha
i didn't know you existed until today but i'm fucking with this energy you guys have, the huge taylor swift knowledge and the geeking out about it while also celebrating Olivia and her skill and talent is just amazing, she deserves all the love you gave her. it's amazing how you analyzed the lyrics for a (mostly) first time listen. i just love it, i'm off to binge your other videos at 12:30am lol
Being straight out of a toxic relationship, this whole album i related to, every song was accurate. I sobbed my eyes out with these songs and felt understood. (Especially with Traitor because the girl he "cheated" on me with, he took 3 days date her)
In 1 step forward 3 steps back, Olivia’s interpolated New Year’s Day so that the credits go to Taylor and not Scott Edit: Also 13 being ms swizzle’s fav number is ✨iconic✨
I love that they recorded this reaction like this. It’s so cool to watch people hear songs for the first time. Also, knowing what’s coming and just waiting like, “Oh if you like that just wait like twenty seconds, it gets even better.”

the boost your mood with happiness by little mix
Her whole album is practically just a therapy session, starting off with a breakdown, moving on to her explaining her relationship, then ending with the realization that she’s not ok and she hopes that her past relationships even though they where friends might not be ok too.
hope ur ok , isn't about josh or any of her lovers , it's Abt people she knew and how she hopes they're ok because of how there treated
Yes and sometimes people say it’s a gay song but just like you said it’s about two people who were treated badly I am one of the biggest Olivia rodrigo fan 💜💜💜and by the way his name is Joshua basset
I feel like Olivia has very unique lyrics. Like she pulls inspiration from other artists and that’s just a fact. But the way the she mixes those themes and ways of singing makes her as an individual singer/songwriter very good.
"1 step forward, 3 steps back" =13 Taylor's number. Lit 🙌🏻 It's like she's honouring her.
Taylor literally participated in writing that song
@@KittyCat-co8fs Olivia interpolated the melody of New Year's Day in the song, that's why Taylor and Jack are credited as writers! They didn't directly help in writing the song
@@KittyCat-co8fs Taylor didn't write the lyrics of the song. Olivia wrote the lyrics. Olivia interpolated the melody of New Year's Day into 1 Step Forward - that's why Taylor and Jack get credit too...solely for the melody - NOT the lyrics. Olivia did change up the melody too
omfg.....genius
@@muskaanawasthi1616 I knew it sounded familiar!!!!!! Deja Vu also sounds like that one Conan Gray song.
“Enough For You” is the only song on the album she wrote completely on her own which just makes it so much more vulnerable. And her producer was hesitant to put “Brutal” on the album so it was a last minute addition but pretty much everyone loves it!
She also wrote happier alone
happier too was written all by her, it's actually one of her unreleased songs that she posted on ig before.
she also wrote 1 step forward, 3 steps back by herself as dan wasn’t credited as one of the writers.
@@trouvaille1558 she wrote the chorus alone yes but not the verses
@@Laurica-lb6nv I'm curious....where did you read that she only wrote the chorus? Because every thing I've read so far says she wrote the chorus and verses for Happier.
So..
at the Britz awards she gave everyone LETTERS with “hope ur ok” written on it
Her butterfly wings represent everyone that helped her grow (like from a caterpillar to a butterfly)
And the “hope ur ok” letters are for the holes in her butterfly wings.. the holes being the people who weren’t/aren’t doing that well
Got me f’ed up
That’s a fcked up lyric
@@tuti5521 agreed 🥲😂 also “created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred” 🥲never getting over it 😂
she’s so lovely
um this is NOT OK
also I saw a comment somewhere on another reaction video about how butterflies can't fly if their wings are damaged and I thought that was really powerful too
almost 2 years late, but i think "hope ur ok" was the closer for the album because she's essentially trying to say that even though she's going through emotional heartbreak, there are people with other situations that are way worse than hers. the scale of emotional endurance that they had to go through would be 10x harder to do than Olivia's situation. it really humanises her and adds relatability to her experience too. she's saying that she will be ok herself, but she hopes for the same to those around her.
This comment is so true
i love "hope ur ok" because not only does it discuss homophobia/queer youth (which i always appreciate in a song being as i have been out since i was 11) but when she says "i hope you know how proud i am you were created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred" shes saying "you're not your parents, just because they believe something doesn't make YOU a bad person" and that is a message i, as well as many other people I'm sure, definitely need from time to time. When i hear the second verse talking about olivia's middle school friend and how her parents "hated who she loved" I absolutely lose it cause even tho I wasn't alone, my parents were home a lot, their gay jokes/bigotry made me feel so freaking isolated, to the point where i didn't come out till i was 18 (and that was on accident lmao) that song really speaks to me on multiple levels.
as somebody who's also out (not to parents LMAOO but to my friends), this is my fave song from sour bc of that reason. also bc it's j genuinely a great song, but its just so important. the message is so important. im sure there's some closeted kid out there who feels far less alone bc of this song which is epic bc nobody deserves to feel alone esp in their sexuality.
Ok but didn’t anyone notice in deja vu when she says “we kinda do sound the same” there’s a harmony which is indicating two voices. Olivia’s voice and the other girl’s voice. Ofcourse they’re both Olivia but I think it was added to accommodate that line about how they sounds the same. I thought it was interesting
Wow I never realized that!
Exactly. Plus the fact that people think she's talking about the similarity of their names is ridiculous to me.
@@donttalktome313 right thats so? the only thing they have in common is that they both end in 'a', pleeeeaase
@@donttalktome313 she doesn’t actually talk about the similarity of their names but rather how they[olivia and the other girl] “kinda do the same”
@@dahliaemerant1905 but the lyric is "they do kinda sound the same" right? and then in that part you can hear two voices

i love olivia and this album so much, she just proved that she’s here to fucking stay, she's truly amazing and she has a brilliant future ahead her, can't wait to see that as well... now let's all pray that the next reaction will be 1989 taylor's version like the rumors that are going on around..................

have you guys thought about reacting to Conan gray? he’s another young artist that regards Taylor as a big influence on him, he and Olivia are buddies too. He’s got a bunch of stuff out though.
I think that’d be soo good !!
Omg yesss
they def should
YESSS
her children!!
This is my favorite reaction to this album so far. Lots of attention to the lyrical excellence and some pretty darn good insights regarding song construction and production as well. And your interaction with each other is the kind you only have with a really good friend ... it's a real conversation, not a performance. Well done!
Thank you! 🥰

It’s a crime you guys cut out “one heart broke, four hands bloody” from favorite crime🥲
IT IS A CRIME!!!! THANK YOU and "doe-eyed as you bury me" as well
YESZ
FOR REAL I WAS WAITING FOR THAT PART 😭
Your conversation over "1 step forward 3 steps back" was so impressive , deep, structured, comparative and comprehensive that it made me freaking reconsider aspects of my own dissertation! This has nothing to do with what I am writing, but the way you addressed the song was EPIC. You both are magnificent. You don't just say "wow, damn, I love this, it hits home, etc." You actually dive in, pick something and run with it. I love you both! Thanks for the great video!
I'm so excited for Olivia's new single in 10 days!!! I love her songs
I love how everyone's saying that enough for you is the most impressive lyrically because she wrote it all by herself 🥺
What kind of crack does she put in her songs?? They've all been stuck in my head for DAYS 😭
They are pretty all I’ve been listening to
the good ones
exactly 😭
@Mitski is a goddess SAME
Wonderful lyrics, some songs slow and easy going while others are dancey and upbeat, the bass guitar playing, Olivia’s wonderful voice and power.
Not Emily saying ‘fuck you’ to all the 15 year olds who have Taylor and Olivia to help with their emotional trauma 😅
She said it’s called sour because it’s about the souring of a romantic relationship and also your relationship with yourself. She said growing up she was so confident in herself and then after that first heartbreak, she suddenly had all these doubts and questioned her self-worth. That first kind of rejection is one of the most unpleasant shocks of adulthood - that someone who knew you so intimately could revert back to being a complete stranger. And so she said a lot of self-doubt crept in and she felt her relationship with herself souring.
She also said she wanted to play on the idea that she’s dealing with emotions that girls are usually kinda looked down upon for feeling. Like jealousy, spite, rage. We are made to feel like it’s childish and cringey to feel as intensely as we do if a guy has cheated or something, and are made fun of for it. She’s embracing those emotions and the fact that she’s sour unapologetically💞💞
I love herrr
@@michelleudebhu5313 SAMEEE
The way neither of them got that "hope ur okay" was about homophobia made me wonder how different it is where they live...as a queer American this song got me right from the beginning and it means so much to me
Yeah I’m also a queer American and I picked up on it too. One of my good friends is Australian and we actually talked about this. She said how it’s not that being queer isn’t accepted, it just that it’s not as talked about there. The conversation about being queer is growing to become more prominent in America and the topic isn’t as widely talked about there
i thjnk its just about being accepted since the first verse was about abuse
@@chungleanne2690 Well because of the line "His parents cared more about the bible Than being good to their child" I think that while yes it is about abuse, it's about being abused specifically because of being LGBT.
As a gay guy non biney guy, I didn'r even got it was about homophobia -
@@chungleanne2690it’s about LGBTQ+. He was abused bc he was gay
Omg I love that you brought up 21st Century Girls! It’s my favorite unreleased song and I really hope it’s one her next album
So here’s an idea, make a podcast.

@@PoppyIsMyMetalQueen ong
@@PoppyIsMyMetalQueenW opinion
She has at least 5 Grammy nominations on lock. Pop Vocal Album, Pop Solo, BNA, ROTY, SOTY. AOTY is within reach depending on how well the full set holds up for the rest of the year. I would be SHOCKED if she misses any of the first five though.
this comment aged well 👏
if this is what she's writing and sounding like at 18 imagine what's still to come 😩😩😩😩😩 top student at the taylor swift school of excellence for sure
she and conan are literally gold, misses taylor knows how to give a class 😭
I get the fact that Olivia will be looked at through the Taylor lenses, but can we give Olivia the props for coming out with this album at 18 years old. Cmon. Let’s look at Olivia as Olivia, not only Taylor’s stan.
I don't feel like we took away any credit from Olivia when talking or comparing her to Taylor. She has sought inspiration from Taylor and many other artist and we just discussed that, I think its cool to see that!
@@chatsandreacts I didn’t say anything about “taking away the credit” I was simply saying how we should look at her achievement at 18 years old and just enjoy the music ☺️ I’m a HUGE Swiftie myself, and of course I see that Olivia was heavily inspired by Taylor’s art of songwriting, but again, she’s her own person, creating things from her own experiences. She deserves all the hype she gets, just for being herself 💗
I completely agreeeeeeee
@@martynacysia783 do you think she got all hype by her self from the beginning ? literally her listener are full with swifties and if they say Taylor inspired her than there's nothing wrong
@@ryanthemovielover1789 it’s about constant comparison, it might be damaging in the long run. That’s all.
FUN FACT olivia actually didn't technically sample new year's day, it was interpolated in 1step forward 3 steps back which means that's it's olivia playing the piano on the track to the same melody of new year's day but it's tweaked a bit THIS MEANS that she's not using the sample directly from the rep album (which would give money and credits to taylor's old label) but instead it gives credit directly to taylor since she hasn't re-recorded rep yet! what a fucking power move by olivia
I love how you guys are constantly talking over each other but it's in a way that finishes each others sentences/thoughts and for some reason I find it really funny but fun to listen to. Both of you are really pretty too!
I absolutely loved the you you analyzed the entire album: lyrics’ meaning, similarities between her music and others, the various emotions she expresses and most - SUPPORT AND APPRECIATION!! I think it’s important to encourage her to keep up with the good work because she has really great chances of winning anything and everything!!! :) Also, adore that you two are a perfect match ❤️
underrated line in jealousy, jealousy: when she says “beauty is not what i lack” she’s recognizing that she is the beauty standard and she’s not trying to hide that and i’ve never seen someone do that before
oops my bad she says my lack but same
i don't think that she's saying/recognizing that she is the beauty standard, it's more like she's saying that someone's else's beauty doesn't take away her own, but "it feels like that"
I thought she said “Their beauty is not my lack” meaning just because they are beautiful doesn’t mean she lacks beauty too.
@@obiajulumgbechi That is the lyric and that is what it means lolo
no, i dont think thats what it means..
THE WAY SHE SAID "there is actually someone out there that thinks ur enough" at the 2nd verse of enough for you and the way Olivia writes at the end of the song "feel sorry for yourself, cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else" IS CRAZY HER MIND WORKS
I get the same vibe when she says in jealousy jealousy, “their beauty’s not my lack.” JUST HOW IS SHE A MASTERMIND
@@Sophie-zj2mv FRRRR OML
The beeping sound at the end of the song “hope ur ok” is the car turning off, just like how it starts in “driver’s license”!
you guys cut the part in jealousy, jealousy when she says “you go out every night in your daddys new car yeah you’re living the life....etc” part and that was my favorite part of the song i was hoping to get your inputtt :(

I'm grateful for that because it really gives a new perspective to an album which makes us love them more.
@@giannaminocha sorry, but who is maya?
I see "favorite crime" as the closing chapter of the relationship and the heartbreak that came with it and then "hope ur ok" as her showcasing a different side of her songwriting abilities. It reminds me of what Taylor did with folklore and evermore in a way because those albums were more storytelling based with Taylor using her own experiences as an influence for writing about situations separate from her own. I feel like "hope ur ok" is the perfect album closer because it shows her depth as a songwriter and is kind of an indicator of what she's capable of. Her talent goes beyond writing songs about only heartbreak and I feel like this was the perfect way to give people a taste of that.
SO ecstatic that you guys made a reaction video to this! Love this channel sm 💗
you described this so perfectly!
Yess
But also a reminder: also brutal and jealousy, jealousy are not about heartbreak
also if you listen to the end of "hope ur ok" it sounds like a car ,and that could be connected to drivers license.i also think it could be saying at the end of the song ,to the person the songs are about that she hopes they're ok too . but the song also seems like it's to the lgbtq+ youth.
0:01 Olivia Rodrigo likes four letter words so she named her albums four letter words
Yep..
When this queen swears in her music, AND she's using passive aggression......... literally villain mode activated
Has anyone else mentioned that *Deja Vu* 's bridge is inspired by *Cruel Summer* ?
Omg that’s why i felt like “i know u get deja vu” sounded similar to “i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you” and the whole bridge of deja vu just screams cruel summer vibes
28:14 ok but just imagine: it's Olivia's concert and she performs this song but instead of the second verse starting, Taylor comes out on the stage and continues singing New year's day and they finish the song doing a duet. That would be awesome
OH MY GOD I WOULD CRY
HELLO, HOW DARE-?! someone's chopping onions in here ;-;
DUDEEE OMG WE NEED IT
If i were her, i would be a bit tired of being compared to other artists lol i mean its very understandable ,but shes OLIVIA after all
THISSS she is her own person she’s not taylor or billie or somethingg😩
I think she is honored actually. Imagine being 18 with your first work and have all that instant sucess, and be compared to superstar. I mean what they’re doing in this video is not comparing to drag, is more to see better how her level of writing songs is already so superior lol And of course she is Olivia, nobody is saying she is the new taylor or whatever because she already showed with this album her unique work🤗
maybe she wouldn't be if she didn't copy other artists...
@@schou1219 you do realize there’s something called sampling music right?
I loved "hope ur okay" its my favorite song on the album because I was in similar situations to the song, and when i first heard it i was in a lot of stuff with family and now i'm okay but when i first heard it i wasnt and i cried and it made me so happy at that moment to know that someone actually caried, and the person i was living with was abuseive and it was hard to deal with.. and this song helped me so much. Also loved your reaction so much. ❤

@@Alisha04 17 definitely didn’t suck, it was just difficult. Trust me, it’s so much fun though
So “hope ur ok” and the “courage to unlearn all of their hatred” I feel had to do with homophobic parents. Because earlier she says “her parents hated who she loved”
🌸🌸🌸
oooooh i love this theory😭 hadn't thought about it and now i'm crying
it definitely can be. especially at the end where she just uses "you" and no gendered pronouns. she's trying to send this as a general message to her audience, and she has a lot of lgbtq+ fans, so it feels really nice
Also “his parents cared more about the Bible than being good to their own child” would imply that the boy grew up in a homophobic, catholic household
I definitely think so, especially the “cared more about the Bible than being good to their own child” seems like homophobia to me
little fun fact, in music theory what olivia does on deja vu with the harmonies is called ‘text painting’/word painting’. it means that the lyrics reflect the music. like when a melody goes lower when the lyrics mention the word down and vice versa. there’s tons of cool examples and it’s always a good sign when producers and writers knowingly incorporate that 🥰
Similar to 1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back when she says “Love of your life, until I make you mad”
There are three call backs of the lyrics reflected in DejaVu. The first two are obvious, the laugh “Ha-ha-ha-ha…”, and singing in “harmony.” The third one is commonly missed: “She probably tells you she loves you between the chorus and the verse.” It’s a bit masked by the music but Olivia then whispers “I love you” right between the verse and chorus.
Does anyone else feel like they are sitting in the room right there with them and enjoying/discussing along too? just me?
also why is no one talking about the background so authentic and beautiful. i love the dog and watching the sky gets darker.
Fun fact: Happier was written around 2019 so it wasn't about Josh😉

OMG I NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT YOU WOULD REACT TO THIS BUT I AM SOOOO HERE FOR IT.
this is like the MOST obsessed album and ngl i can’t even stop listening to it. i really love the way olivia express all of her emotions to the songs
olivia is such a good singer and songwriter, i really love her and her music and think she deserves all the success and love she's received in last couple of months. and i wish people would stop using "oh, but she only sings and writes about breakups and her ex" as a way of putting her down and saying she's not worthy of the success she already has. it bothers me because it's the same thing people and the media did with taylor, they were always trying to say she wasn't that good and worthy of the success because she "only sings about breakups and her exes", when men sing about their past relationships and exes everyone loves it and i never see people, or the media, criticizing them for it. it's 2021, we should accept that we all have internalized misogyny and work on that and stop projecting that on women, especially on a teenager like olivia.

i saw this comment once that said all the big singers from the last decade
(taylor, ariana grande, justin bieber, etc) all have their happy endings so olivia is the new heart break song writer for the next generation that can write about her own personal experience, and i realized how true that was.
(even though taylor is still writing incredible heartbreaking songs, they're just stories now were not trying to figure out who its about because she's happy now)
I’m trying to figure out who could be the next Rihanna… I mean every artist has something characteristic of them (songwriting, dancing, vocals), but Rihanna is a wildcard, the only thing that’s for sure from her are hits
Now that you mention her mom's a therapist there's a lyric about that how she found a therapist for him in good 4 you makes sense more
her dad's the therapist, her mother is the teacher
What I love about this is the fact that her songs kind of open you up and lower your guard then invade with the truth, although it seems, pun intended, brutal, I think it works pretty well, and people love it because it's so relatable
wait where’s the 1989 reaction video i only watched half last night
Can we talk about the bridge of "1 step forward and 3 steps back"?
The 1 step forward is "maybe this is all your fault" because, based on what she told us, her ex was very toxic to her.
The three steps back is her denying it and trying to convince herself that she did something wrong instead of the "mr perfect" that she created the image of in her head. she says it three times: "did i say something wrong?" "going back through everything i said" and "did i do something wrong?"
Brilliant.
I don’t know how interested you guys would be, but if you guys want to check out another non-Taylor album, you should totally react to Conan Gray’s Kid Krow album! He’s another BIG swiftie and had a lot of influence from her as well. 😊
YES
she *did* write brutal after drivers license! I’m pretty sure it was in march, making it the last song written for the album :)
The dog was like “oh you’re listening to Sour? Lemme get in here.”
This is my first time watching your channel and I just appreciate yall for reading over every lyric and acknowledging how powerful this album is.
I'm 18 and I can tell you that Brutal is my mood 90% of the time. Like that song literally represents the majority of Gen z
She says in brutal that she can't parallel park and later in drivers license talks about how she finally got her license
So I guess we know her driving journey too? Haha
fun fact: ‘brutal’ is actually one of the final tracks she finished writing for the album and it almost WASN’T the opening track !!!
i didn't know you existed until today but i'm fucking with this energy you guys have, the huge taylor swift knowledge and the geeking out about it while also celebrating Olivia and her skill and talent is just amazing, she deserves all the love you gave her. it's amazing how you analyzed the lyrics for a (mostly) first time listen. i just love it, i'm off to binge your other videos at 12:30am lol
Update: no regrets!!!!
It’s 12:30 for me too
Being straight out of a toxic relationship, this whole album i related to, every song was accurate. I sobbed my eyes out with these songs and felt understood. (Especially with Traitor because the girl he "cheated" on me with, he took 3 days date her)
im so sorry, he sucks :( u deserve sm better than him
@@shineinstars You'll find better friends
she said her favourite Taylor album is Speak Now ... which just tells you she has TASTE!! 🎉
Omg thanks for confirming!!! Taste indeed!!!
In 1 step forward 3 steps back, Olivia’s interpolated New Year’s Day so that the credits go to Taylor and not Scott
Edit: Also 13 being ms swizzle’s fav number is ✨iconic✨
Swifties have a very high standard when it comes to writing and production. Olivia did great, we now luv her!
Fuck I luv that
I believe Olivia’s favorite Taylor album is Speak Now :)
I love that they recorded this reaction like this. It’s so cool to watch people hear songs for the first time. Also, knowing what’s coming and just waiting like, “Oh if you like that just wait like twenty seconds, it gets even better.”
I love that your album reactions are so in depth! You pay attention to everything!
