- One year ago, I reacted to Taylor Swift's Long Pond Sessions. Since then, I have been reacting to Taylor Swift chronologically to understand her growth as an artist. Today, I finally experienced the official album. Join us on Patreon for a much deeper dive.

@@JimGames ok thanks

I think my favorite thing about your videos is that eyes closed/small smile you do when you’re REALLY enjoying a moment in a song ❤
1:36 The One
6:37 Cardigan
11:48 The last great american dynasty
16:52 Exile
22:52 My tears ricochet

You forgot Seven 😢
@@hernanhernandez7751 ohh shit I thought I included it
I love seven it’s one of my favorites
A comment from a Swiftie said that the Chorus has easter eggs of her 6 stolen albums: She's a Mastermind !!!!
1. …..I didn't have it in myself to go with grace ( Song - State of Grace ) Album: RED
2. …..And you're the hero flying around, saving face ( Song - Superman ) Album: Speak Now
3. …..And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? ( Song - Look What You Made Me Do ) Album: REPUTATION
4. …..Cursing my name, ( Song - The Way I Loved You ) Album: FEARLESS
5. …..wishing I stayed ( Song - All You Had To Do Was Stay ) Album: 1989
6. …..Look at how my tears ricochet ( Song - Teardrops On My Guitar ) Album: Debut - Taylor Swift
This is already my favorite track off of folklore (and my second favorite track 5 overall after YOYOK) and in my top 5 TS songs but the more I see about it the more I appreciate the song.
This discovery is just INCREDIBLE and makes me have even more of an appreciation for the song than I already do.
There are no words to describe how passionate I am about this song's topic.
EVERY artist deserves to own their art (by art I mean the master recordings (masters))
That’s a whole level reach girl
I knew this August version would win here!
Yeah LPS didn't do it justice. But still beautiful
Both are great but the studio version is so much dramatic with the horns, flute, drums, electric guitar, violins, chamber pop like production, like DAMN it’s too much going on, in a good way.
I guess I am SAT for the next 42 minutes.
Same.

One of my favorite differences between the two versions of this album is the harmonies and adlibs in the studio version. I'm with you, I absolutely love Long Pond and the raw, emotional vocals Taylor gives us, but her and her producers have a real knack for vocal layering and beautiful, creative, sometimes unexpected harmonies on the studio tracks, and they do it without going overboard (usually). Itches something in my brain juuuust right.
I think the Dali in the Last Great American Dynasty is referring to Salvador Dali (the artist), not the Dalai Lama. Until I saw it written, I thought she was referring to Dolly Parton.
This could be my comment. Lol.... like word for word it's what i came down to say.
I got reintroduced to her music a few months ago. She definitely deserves the attention. I had no idea.
When I heard Cardigan on LPS, I felt like her past love abandoned her or hurt her by coming in and out of her life, not committing fully, and this person haunted her for years. The old cardigan was something cast aside and used when you dig it out from under the bed, then forgotten again til next season. In the studio version, it was still a lost love that was kept secret, but it felt more warm & nostalgic. The old cardigan was something always there and provided comfort. That’s the vibe I got anyway.
15:52 Not the Dalai Lama 💀 Taylor was referencing Salvador Dalí, a postmodern artist who was known for his surrealism, among other talents and styles (if the words "melting clocks" makes the image of a painting pop into your mind, that is one of Dalí's works).
Can't wait for you to react to evermore (folklore's sister album)
Man the instrumental in August just takes me somewhere, I don’t know where but it’s warm and it’s beautiful! 💕 great reaction as always! I love the lps versions but I think I prefer the album versions in most cases as I love the fullness of the instruments and the layering and ad libs she can do with the vocals
Same! 💕
This álbum should get a lot of Grammys, I think. Great video
It did get Album of the Year Grammy.
@@mamat8184 yes, you’re absolutely correct. It did
Exile deserves the best duo 😢
I think it’s extremely cool that you are only listening to the studio version now. Makes your perspective very unique and made me very interested in your commentary.
I was so glad to see you show up today. I recently introduced someone to Taylor Swift and I was telling her which reactors she should go to. You were one of them, but I had not seen a posting for quite some time so I wasn't sure if you were still doing them. Luckily I have you as a favorite so I was able to hook her up! I always enjoy your reactions.
Waiting for so long for Taylor Swift album reaction, thank you so much.
I'm so excited for part 2
This is my favorite album of hers. Reputation is a close second. Cardigan is my favorite TS song. I do love all the Long Pond Studio Session versions, but on that one in particular…I fell in love with the original. Exile and My Tears Ricochet are unbeatable with that emotion at the Long Pond session.
Watching you listening to the august outro, I could tell how much you appreciated the production and overall feel of it
Thank you so much!!! I love your taylor swift reactions!
Thanks for sharing this reaction, Jim!
I enjoy your reactions so much, your musical production knowledge base gives you such a deep understanding of things I just enjoy, and teach me so much.
Here’s one thing I can maybe share with you, in Last Great American Hero, she was playing cards with artist, Salvador Dali, not the Dali Lama.
it's 2AM here and this video is my jam
Can’t wait for your evermore reaction 😊
omg finally!! one of my favorites!!
ngl i sometimes forget how some of these songs sounds like because of how much i listen to the long pond versions
Glad there's a special mention of Red ❤❤❤❤.
One of her BEST albums😭😭😭😭😭🩵🩵🩵🩵
I love the reaction but I can’t do the background music. 😅
I’m pretty sure that “Dali” in The Last Great American Dynasty is referring to Salvador Dali.
folklore (studio version) is a perfect album. Long pong studio session is, to me, the superior version and it is more haunting and sad. Depends on the day I can listen to one or the other.
Can't wait for Evermore!
21:32 Ok. This is the most important part of the video especially for the haters. 😊
woooo finally!
Hey Jim greatt reaction! Is your reaction to the long pond sessions available anywhere?
On his patreon. He reacted to it twice: first time a year ago; then he started a DEEP dive into Taylor‘s discography and started from the beginning; he re-listened to it recently.
@@AnnieB.8 thank you
my tears ricochet is widely understood to be about Scott Borchetta who was in her life from before her first album until he sold her masters to Sccoter Braun. Someone she trusted. The home she can't go back to is her original label. The jewels are her albums.
Playing cards with Salvador Dali no Dalai Lama😅😂 love your reactions ❤
Ooh evermore!!!!
Playing cards with Salvador Dali. Not with the Dalai Lama ;)))
WAIT TILL U HEAR EVERMORE
I'm waiting for part 2.
I just need to correct one thing i heard u say on American Dynasty.. Rebekah Harkness played cards with Salvadore Dali..not the Dalai Lama.
I love how your ai generated background resembles the folklore vibe...
Is the Lover album reaction not up on YT? Been following this series since the beginning and that's the only one I can't find in your catalog here
@@thatinsufferablenerd it’s blocked sorry about that :(
@@JimGames I figured that was the case! I'm sorry that happened, copyright really is out here doing the most to strike good content and let all kinds of stuff that should get it go
FINALLY
Will you be doing the bonus track "The Lakes"?
Genius love her ❤
Ooooof, I've always loved your reactions of hers, and I try to sign up for the Patreon whenever I have the means, but this was hands down the best one. It's like I got to listen to this album for the first time again, and it healed a little part of my soul, thanks man. ❤❤🩷🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙🩵💜💜
the 1 ,we are making theories based on mashups in the eras tour and a song, that is completely confirmed that is for HS, was mashup with the 1, so it is not a confirmation buuuuuut it could be
finally❤❤❤❤
I agree with you about the Long Pond Studio Sessions. I think My Tears Ricochet especially is over produced in this version. The Long Pond was so raw emotionally.
Idk. I think MTR sounds way better in studio version. Especially that production change in the bridge is incredible. And background vocals also make the atmosphere of the song perfect.
Waiting for you to react Coke Studio Pakistan season 15 ..your reaction to season 14 was excellent. Please don’t skip the new season. Thanks
Seven studio is a perfect listen for me to disappear into forever.
evermore next. lowkey her best album after ttpd.
have you reacted to the whole Lover album?
Yes unfortunately it’s blocked.
Where is the reaction to Long Pond?
Not me begging too?
Dali is Salvador Dali, the artist, not the Dalai Lama :)
❤❤❤
Where is the reaction to the long sessions
❤❤
Her margum opus
Great American Dynasty. Playing cards with the Dalai Lama? lolol. Jim, she was playing cards with _Salvador_ _Dali_ the painter, not the Buddhist leader of Tibet. Fairly factual, except for the green dog. She dyed the neighbor's cat, but Taylor loves cats.
Harkness' (3rd) husband was a grandson of John D. Rockefeller's business partner (ie; Standard Oil, Exxon, Mobile, SOHIO, and 34 other oil companies). She was a socialite during the 1930s to 1970s and a patron of performing arts (opera and ballet). Very, very rich widow. Very very much in the gossip pages, like Taylor.
Holiday House came on the market about the time she stopped dating Connor Kennedy, and sold her house in Hyannis (Cape Cod). She likes history, and antiques. She also likes buying historical places; her home in Beverly Hills was Samuel Goldwyn's mansion.
Finally frrrr😂🎉🎉🎉
I love the album, but I prefer the stripped down rawness of Long Pond
My Tears Ricochet studio version is superior to everything.
Oh please cardigan studio version is way better.
None of the songs on Folklore or Evermore are fictional, lol. Tay couldn't NOT write about her own experiences if her life depended on it.
Yeah blondie tried to pull the wool over her eyes with that whole fictional characters thing 😂
and how do you know? we know taylor is a great storytelling😭
Really?
ye tlgad, mtr, mirrorball, seven, invisible string, mad woman, epiphany, peace and the lakes are def not fictional
Preach
"the LPS versions are more raw"
duh ????
They're live versions, what do u expect?
@ardiansyahngaba7287 What’s your problem? No need to be an ass about it.
you need to calm down
🍅 🍅 nasty
I was thinking the same tbh, but i wanted to know which versions would he prefer still
I don't usually reply to questionable comments, but I should clarify. When I say raw, I mean in tone and projection. Taylor uses little vocal processing on her studio recordings. In fact, in some instances, I sonically prefer her live performance over her thoroughly mixed and mastered studio versions.
Dude I missed youuu and your reactions!!
waaaaaa i had so much fun it was like listening with u
