''.AHAHAH!!I cant even say it with a straight face!'' Man, I love this woman!!
Me too!
Me too!
@@monroyyyli Me too
imagine the rerecorded version of that line!!! gonna be epic
😂😂😂
“But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand”
Her wordplay is on another level!!!
Cool lyric, But that’s not what word play means
REALLY? Thats a huge overused cliche , but okay lol...
In end it back fires and blows up in faces like dynamite or grenade
Not word play lol
The lyrics are "but you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand" not "but you stabbed my back while shaking my hand". Also it's not wordplay its the lyrics dummy
"And here's to my mama, had to listen to ALL THIS DRAMA"
THE QUEEN HAS SPOKEN
This song just a living proof that you can talkshit your haters without cursing them and saying nasty slurs.
exactly, like I can see why she is inspired by Hip Hop, it's one of her best diss songs
AMEN
@@vaishnavisingh9244 And it's full of clichés except the straight face part.
frrrr! So deeply connected to this song recently, finally letting go of a fake friend of mine.
Reduce ur foul words
2:32 sorry but this part cracks me up all the time, i mean that her laugh is quite contagious. She Laughs, I laugh
iKrrrr!!!
me tooo
_everytime she laughs, I laugh. and everytime she shines, I shine for her_
sorry- I had to do that
if you get that reference you are a literal swiftie legend
@@agoodgirlsguidetotaylorswift jump then fall?
@@Finnickodairr yep!
I’ve been listening to reputation for the first time and OMG there’s not one bad song. This song is so good
Literally no skips
rep is her best album next to lover and folklore
@@rugma1696 exactly!
so it goes says hi
Can't wait to hear Taylor's version of this! 🤩
Especially now Kim and Kanye are getting devorced 😂🤣
Ikr
@@OceanCoconutBreeze
Someone's been living under a rock. 😭😭😭 Taylor's rerecording her first six albums haha.
@@OceanCoconutBreeze
Or what?
@@OceanCoconutBreeze why the fuck you're asking if you you're telling to shut up
I just love Taylor’s Reputation album because other artists can’t roast other artists like she does and she had so much courage , I love it!
Exactly I am going to the eras tour concert in November and my daughter loves this song
This album is like the total opposite of speak now. Shes like a bad girl in this album and she's such a good girl in speak now. This is like the total opposite of innocent
*better than revenge walks in*
@@kendall57 that song makes me miss misogyny 🙃
Actually no speak now is the innocent version of reputation
@@autumnstan I meant this song is the opposite of the song innocent
@@Imawesomehaga Nope, it's Fearless that looks her so innocent.
Speak Now is different. Listen to "Mean", "Dear John" and "Better Than Revenge."
Other speculate that "Innocent" is for Kanye West.
"Locking the gates"
Literally and metaphorically.
You shut out people when someone betrays you.
Not literally but yes metaphorically
This is some nice roast. Man I love the lyrics!!!
@@mpl8680 thanks for the century man
Are u the real david kinda sus
@@ihearttaylorswift nope?😅
@@shee4314 it was just a joke lol
@@ihearttaylorswift sorry, my tubelight brain took some time to understand
the "because you break them, I had to take them" line is so catchy!
Ikr she sounds like a mom
@@user-uo6gi3fu4r Reynolds kids inspired
@@user-uo6gi3fu4r i guess that's the purpose
I can write a 20 page essay about my love and admiration for reputation album and every song in it 😭😭
Ugh same!
Still it would seem less
I really like how this song is structured/written. The lyrics are 'childish', petty, and exaggeratedly shallow on purpose because this song is from the perspective of someone who treats their enemy like a child. 1:35 😆
This is so on point🤣
Kind of like the other song she wrote about him.
The lyrics are actually genius. Idk why would you call it baby
Lol just like Innocent from Speak Now. She treated him like a child in that song too. And why wouldn't she? He's a man child fr
The way she says "baby" will forever be stuck in my head
This is true. Now Kim Kardashian and Kanye West is divoricing.
This is why Kanye cant have nice things
well... I qoudnt necessary say Kim is a nice thing... but yeah I get your point 😂😂
@Sara Fox excuse me I have heard some Kanye tracks and they are like 🤮🤮 and taylor earned her respect if u don't respect that then keep yr mouth shut and go say bad things bout taylor on Kanye west tracks cuz nobody hears it anyways🙄 and one more thing f*ck u
@@riyagujare4571 I think they were talking about Kim
@@HonorWillow ohhhhh then its fine sorry my swiftie came out 🏃♀️😎
@@riyagujare4571 sister, she's talking about Kim.
For Knowing this song number 13 in the album
Yep it is. 🙂
"And here's to you. Because forgiveness is a nice thing to do...
Hahaha! I can't even say it with a straight face!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow im so glad its about Kanue West
Yez.
Love the typo
I need more songs like this. Upbeat party but just like low-key shading someone but also showing you really don’t care about the person anymore.
My favourite part:
when she sings: forgiveness is a *nice thing* to do, and then laughs before saying: this is why we can't have *nice things*
How did i not catch that lol
We love a good comeback from Queen Taylor 😌💅
the reason reputation is probably my second favorite taylor album (behind speak now due to its songwriting) is because she truly gave 0 fucks during this era.
this was during her hate train when it seemed like everyone except swifties, her family, boyfriend and maybe a few close friends were against her. and instead of playing the victim like most people do, taylor doubled down on the "villain" persona the public was trying to cast onto her and made an incredible concept album.
her reputation was already in shambles, she had nothing to lose, so she truly let loose and didn't hold herself back one bit. and it was amazing.
AOTY 2017.
this!!
Speak Now is SO underrated. One of my favorite albums. I'm so excited for the Taylor's Version 😭
@@Slow_Internet me too!
mean was the first taylor song i ever heard when i was like like 6 and when i heard it, i instantly became a swiftie. that song and the whole album have such a special place in my heart.
and the fact that taylor wrote the album with ZERO co-writers. insane.
i also really like the production and how different it is from most taylor albums. there's almost a pop punk vibe to it imo.
i feel like speak now tv will be released last for some reason, maybe because it's sonically the most complex.
i think she's gonna release them in the order of:
1989, debut, reputation, speak now.
@@paulanji I actually think she'll rerelease Speak Now next ESPECIALLY after the hints she dropped in the Bejeweled Music video (Enchanted instrumental at the beginning, pressing number 3 on the elevator like how Speak Now is album #3, and playing long live(?) instrumental at the end(pretty sure it was long live I'll double check.) ) I'm pretty sure there's more hints but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'll double check after I write this comment. But besides that I definitely agree with your list! Maybe I'm just holding up hope because it's the rerecord I've been the most excited for besides 1989. But yeah.
@@paulanji okay i confirmed it, it was long live
this album never gets old!!!
Taylor gets the struggles we go through
1:23 "GET YOU ON PHONE AND MIND-TWIST YOU" I thought of Kanye and the phone call feud... man,,I LOVE THIS WOMEN!!!
I do relate a lot to this song, it's heartbreaking having someone you considered your friend talk trash about you behind your back and scheming against you
Good song n so true. Sad that people or shady like that.
It’s been ages since I’ve heard this song! And I still can remember the lyrics with my eyes closed
She roasts so good and in a subtle way uhh I love her
I am speechless this song is so awesome!
It was so nice being friends again......
But u stabbed me in the back while while shaking my hand..🥺
2:07 the moment we’ve been waiting for ❤
When you know this song is about Kanye
You didn’t know?
@@SalmanMangol well who isn't 😉
@@movieseriesmarathon are you from Pakistan?
@@skopsssss Yes and you?
@@movieseriesmarathon omg! I'm from Pakistan as well. i usually get really excited whenever i spot a Pakistani swiftie xD 💛
why am i just now realizing this song is abt kanye😭🤚🏼
The struggle is real 😭
Wait what? I never knew that!
its so obvious tho 🤭
Same I just found out I thought it was about Katy Perry
what girl
I think the original lyrics of the chorus part is "This is why we can't have nice things, KANYE" but Taylor think it would be more shady if she include his name. Hahahaha just my thought about this song because this is all about Kanye 😂😂.
And 1:10
“Get you on the phone and mind twist you”
it's like Taylor Swift writes about my life
she is so relatable
I love your lyric videos!
Thank you!
This song was very same in my situation
....friends stab friends
I give him second chan...but he stab me again
same
I don't give people second chances unless they work hard for it, idk people call me cold hearted for not forgetting and forgiving, i just have trust issues. They have to gain my trust back if they want to befriends with me again.
@@na0l886 same i secretly forgive them
Same I didn't give her a second chance, now Idgaf abt her. She got me on the phone and trapped me. She screenshoted all our chats and sent them to other people. I frickin hate her fr. I hate her
@@ihearttaylorswiftim sorry for you ❤️ stay strong... i don't want that to ever happen to anybody...
*HAHA, I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE* Her laugh brought the brightest smile on ma face✨❤️ Aaaahh this song is ❤️
when she says forgiveness is a nice thing to do but we cant have nice things... mastermind is just an understatment
Me: Face timing my friend
also me: muting myself and sing out loud. lol
And to you, because forgiveness is a nice thing to do, HAHAHA, can't even say it with a straight face, LUV THAT PART 😍
It was so nice being friends again......
But u stabbed me in the back while while shaking my hand..🥺 I WONDER WHERE KANYE IS
How iconic is this song?!
Best pfp
I support my co-swiftie💖
"Here's a toast to my real friends they don't care abt the he said , she said"
Is just iconic ✨
#KanyeWestIsOverParty it's been a few years but Idc I'm still angry
same
@@ronnygranados same x2
omg hiii i watch your memes and I'm subbed to you chamila, crazy how I meet swiftie TH-camrs everywhere I go!
Duh what he did was wrong
"And Here's to YOU cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do~ *HAHAHA I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE* " I DIED OF LAUGHTER PLZ HELP
You’re a real swifty and OMG Taylor Swift sings so good
This song is stuck in my head and especially the he said she said
No debate that she is best songwriter as well as music godess
I love this song so much ❤❤
Even before the dialogue, you can already hear her voice ready to laugh it out.
This is literally what is happening in my life rn. There is a girl who used to be my friend and she decided to turn on me and others. The things she did to me and my friends is ridiculous. She is ruining my life. I forgave her today bc I wanted peace. She’s also getting better. I really hope that one day she can get it together and find her way. I wish her the best in life bc she really needs it.
This is the non problematic better than revenge
this is scary how accurate this is to drama i have with this one girl like it fits the situation exactly
I know, I had one friend and she was obviously a fake friend so I relate to this so much
This is super good!
the way she says "baby" is just 😭😭🥺🥺🥺
1:22 I really really love you tay 😂😂
2:06 is the best part(i love it)
Damn this song is the best!!❤
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG❤❤❤❤❤❤❤And that line "Ha Ha Ha, i can't even say it with a straight face" 😂my fav on reputation
The level of sass in this song is amazing
This is the best song cause it's healing from what happened to me in class today
THAT PART WHERE SHE LAUGHED AFTER THE "AND HERE'S FORGIVENESS BECAUSE IT'S A NICE THING TO DO" AND FOLLOWED IT WITH THE "I CANT EVEN SAY IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE" AHAHHAHAHHAHAA
I love this songp👏
This song so beautiful.. You don't have to have a revenge against someone who have broke you heart, brings out your privacy, make your life like a joke for a many people and all you have to do now just keep away all of yours from him, keep go on,life mush go on, and move on
This song is so underrated and it deserves to be a single
What a good song
This sounds exactly like London Boy you can't tell me otherwise
omg it kinda does how am I just realising this
This is ironically one of the hardest diss tracks i've heard
This so is so underrated which is sad😢
She is literally the absolute best!!!!!❤❤❤😊
So Taylor Swift’s parents named her after the great recording artist James Taylor. And wow! She has really owned up to that name. Her music is sublime, as she is already one of the greatest recording artists of all time. Galatians 6:9
This sold me as the why you gotta be so mean? Reboot, the bridge just gives me the same vibes as the bridge from that song and I'm hear for it!
Another great song from Taylor!
This is so relatable for me and must unfortunately be as well for other people. But the lyrics are amazing, beats, and just every single thing about Taylor. Swifties all the way. 😎
her laugh is so cute u love it
i love it*
2:00 moment you’ve been waiting for
I love how she speaks up for herself. No cringing at the hands of bullies and back-stabbers. But it is done with a light touch and you are left laughing. Kudoes!
For real
This song is just awesome I can’t even say how good this song is 🎉
Truest lyrics ever I would have ever heard
It was so nice throwing big parties
Jump into the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
I'm shaking my head and locking the gates
[Chorus]
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, honey (Oh)
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
It was so nice being friends again
There I was, giving you a second chance
But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand
And therein lies the issue
Friends don't try to trick you
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
(Mm-mm)
If only you weren't so shady
[Chorus]
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, darling (Yeah)
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (Nice Things) Things (Baby), honey
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
This Is Why We Can't Have
[Bridge]
Here's a toast to my real friends
They don't care about the he-said, she-said
And here's to my baby
He ain't reading what they call me lately
And here's to my mama
Had to listen to all this drama
And here's to you
'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face
[Chorus]
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, darling (Darling)
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice (Uh-uh) Things (Oh no), honey (Baby, oh)
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, darling
(And here's to my real friends)
Because you break them
I had to take them
(And here's to my baby)
Nice Things, honey
(He didn't care about that he-said, she-said)
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said
about me?
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
why post lyrics on a lyrics video bro?
Thanks bro
best reputation song
2:04 for anyone looking for that part
OMG I LOVE TAYLOR
Unpopular opinion: This is the best Reputation song!
Love this too much!!💜💜💜💜
back to this after Ye's going crazy in Instagram dissing Pete, wow, Taylor's song becoming truth
Facts
This song basically states that you can talk shit about someone without swearing 😂
“jumping to the pool from the balcony, everyone swimming in a champagne sea” did blondie just foreshadowed *the last great american dynasty* ?
Taylor signed a contract at a young age not knowing what was on it. When Taylor wanted to leave the company she had all her records on, the company got to keep all her records meaning they got all the money from her songs since it was no longer hers. Now she’s recording the albums again in her version so she wouldn’t be copyrighting.
Do not listen to the old songs! It’s owned by a company who has ownership on her songs! She will not get the money she’s earning! Please just listen to Taylor’s version! ❤️''
This comment is copied from another previous one with a view to spreading the info. :>
Technically she's not getting any of the money from the rerecording either, she does own the music now though so she can do whatever she wants with it
@@JRobert1402 If she own the music, It means you can get the money from it
Can we stop about who the song is about and concentrate on the masterpiece
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!!!!!
aaaaa this song is so good
I LOVE YOU TAYLOR
Cause forgivness is a nice thing to do-hahaha i cant even say it with a straight face cracks me up every time 😂😂😂
2:12 TAYLOR SWIFT SAYING 'BABY' IS MY RELIGION
Just got ghosted by a friend of three years So I really needed this song right now
She is just a Queen 👑❤️
