"Burton to this Taylor" is about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor who were a famous Hollywood couple. They got married and divorced a couple of times. She's basically saying that the relationship in the song is very tumultuous like they were. This video was NOT for a film, but many of her videos are like mini-movies they are that cinematic and good.
To add to your comment, Elizabeth Taylor had such a reputation as a repeat divorcee that it’s still being discussed today, which made it the perfect choice for Taylor Swift, with her (undeserved, imo) reputation to reference. Richard Burton was an actor, as was Swift’s boyfriend at the time of the Reputation album. Elizabeth Taylor was married 8 times to 7 men, with Burton being the only man she married twice. She also divorced him twice, so it’s not as if he was her one true love in the end, which I think adds something to the song, too. She’s acknowledging that the relationship isn’t one that ends in happily ever after, but there was something there worth giving a second chance regardless.
@@donaldcase4716the fact that she will start working on her cinematographic career after the eras tour starts is mind boggling, like how do you just finish the biggest tour of all time and go directly at something else? This woman never catches a rest!
Probably one of the few artists who can go from country to rapping and still sound like herself. It's an MV about Tay setting herself free from herself, or her old persona. Becoming a badass. Like she wasn't already, but now she's more of a badass.
Terell, I swear the entire Reputation Tour felt like it was written as a bad ass musical. She’s VERY visual and enacts all the songs. If you get a chance you should react to something from the Reputation Stadium Tour. I’d recommend I Did Something Bad, Don’t Blame Me or King of My Heart. (I’d recommend the entire concert.) The concert opens with “Ready For It?” And we were not.
Love your recommendations! I've admired much of what I've heard about TS over the years (minus the BS), but not her music because my go-to music is very hard rock so I didn't bother to listen. The Eras tour put her back on my music radar so I decided (finally) to check out what the big deal was. The first video I clicked on was a live version of "Ready For It?". I was shook. It's the first video I show other people now.
@@amandabennett8346 If you like her more rock kind of style music, you should check out "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We are never ever getting back together (rock version)", both live from her 1989 tour!
Yes public fights, worked together, married and divorced several times, affairs, alcohol problems But both Hollywood stars who were so good at their craft.
I just thought of it as a clever lyric, but I was aware of their very rocky relationship (Taylor and Burton). They married and divorced twice. I'm wondering now why Taylor used that lyric. Taylor included so many sweet love songs to Joe on Reputation. I perceived their first couple of years as totally in love with one another and really happy, and this was written somewhere in the first year or two. If you look at the astrology of their signs as a couple, they will feel like soul mates at first and be incredibly close and infatuated, which has always been my perception. But then as they start to realize the differences in their personalities, they start to have problems. She wrote Lover around the 3-year mark and said this year it was a denial song, which immediately rang true to me. She was a musical guest on SNL when Lover came out and she played Lover on the piano and sang it with a different style. It was such a beautiful performance. Watching it, I was sure Joe was in the audience. A couple times she looked way over to the right side of the audience. Doing that, and also singing the song, she sounded so wistful, almost pleading. I especially noticed it when she said she'd had him three summers and she wanted them all. I'm not saying this in a criticism AT ALL, but I'm an empath and I pick up even slight nuances. It came across to me that she was pleading for that to happen (during the performance), but already knew it wasn't going to or was unlikely. Even her looks towards him felt like she was looking for his acceptance and love. I think at least the last 3+ years, they were struggling, and I don't know how long prior to that. There were little things she'd said that always gave me the impression he was very self-centered and expected her to fit into his life vs him really expecting to fit into hers. You can be a really good person (I think he is), and still be self-centered. I think the difference in cultures between England and America is also a big factor.
Burton to this Taylor is a reference to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's relationship in the 60's and 70's......the "Epic Romance" that developed on set while filming Cleopatra. Married and divorced each other twice and it has been claimed that they were each others great love until their deaths, even though they were married to others when they dies.
Hi Terrell, just a note from this old timer, :) Burton to Taylor means Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Two Hollywood actors who met in the 1960's while they were filming the movie Cleopatra. They married and had a very tempestuous and romantic relationship. They divorced and later remarried and divorced again. She was one of the most beautiful women in the world, you should look up her picture, she actually had real "violet" eyes a real rarity. He was a. phenomenal actor. Really like how you dive into the lyrics.
You should watch the live version of Intro + Ready For It if you want the best version of this song. Her videos are awesome but her stage presence is amazing.
@@SparkimusPrime You can watch the live streams though of the remaining 18 concerts! I watched all the streams from Europe and it's so much fun. You really get a feel for the concert. It depends on who's filming, because the streams just come from willing concert goers who film usually with their phones so some aren't good and some are really good. But it's still fun. I personally think I like listening from home more because the crowd is so LOUD. I want to hear Taylor's beautiful voice!
You really do Taylor's eras tour. The live is so much more awesome. They way she performs, runs the stage & sucks her audience in. It's unbelievable for real.
hmm, guess I'm late to this party. Good place to start; all her music videos are cinematic, even off her first record. She got into the action film spoof with Bad Blood; this is either her take on anime or sci fi video games (or both). Videos from Reputation and 1989 albums were mostly with Joseph Kahn as director. They are all very different. Burton: Taylor is something of a history buff, and super interested in pop culture. As you listen to different songs, you'll find she's tucked a few references in to things (or people) worth knowing about. There are some similarities in the degree of fame she has, with that earlier Taylor from the 1950s / 1960s. A Taylor Swift album starter pack should include: a dictionary, a phone or separate tab of lyrics, a box of tissues and your choice of beverage. The girl reactors sort it all out with wine. 👏🏻👏🏻 I don't drink, so I go with coffee. **historical note ** In the '60s, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were two of the top box office draws in Hollywood. A theater (cinema, not a live stage) was the only place to watch a good film ---- your television resolution was 525 lines, at 30 frames per second. TV didn't change its format in the US until digital TV finally replaced analog in the new millenium. During that extended period (almost 70 years) of low resolution TV, Hollywood and its stars ruled the gossip pages. Burton and Taylor between them made many top films; they were passionate, jealous, flamboyant, extravagant, volatile. So, they married, then divorced, repeat a few times. Years of gossip ---- and, ad revenue, and free promotion ---- all before any social media existed. Singers (Roy Rodgers, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis) often did films back then to showcase their talents and add more exposure (and, Hollywood paid better than record labels --- if you were the star).
When did you ever see that. I've watched her since the start and she was always such a wild performer starting with all the head banging. She's so adorable and so gifted.
Loved watching your reaction to this. First time watcher. Subscribed. Look more into the Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor relationship and you’ll understand the song better.
Besides "Out Of The Woods" this is imho THE baddest song Taylor Swift has ever produced. Now let me say right here I am NOT into rap/hiphop but I certainly appreciate all the innuendos Taylor used in the song. It turned me on and I'm 80 years old.
Fire video if I’m not wrong this is about Scooter Braun - him taking advantage of artists. Female artists. This is his villain story. Seems the light killed the darkness in the end. Which is what she did to him.
Her movie videos are known for being insane. I don't think the word "budget" is in her vocabulary. So now that you've seen this little piece of art, you should REALLY check out the live performance of this from the Reputation Tour in 2018. You won't be sorry. I know Swifties would love a reaction! th-cam.com/video/2QJaf6qq8jQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lP5zfaORo1xB0h5C
I hope you will do more TSwift reactions. Here is one that would be interesting: Don't Blame Me - Taylor Swift • Reputation Tour th-cam.com/video/seOJleBbf-U/w-d-xo.html
Terrell, I enjoy watching your reactions so much!!! But to not have a charged device-c’mom man. Sometime I think your are doing some illegal Mmmmm baby, reference to the song.
😅😅😅 did he really say that he did his research and Burton to this Taylor was a movie that came out in 2013 with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard burton?? So I'm gonna take a guess and say that movie is a sequel to weekend at bernies?? 😂
Here's what Bing AI says: "The 2013 movie you’re referring to is “Burton and Taylor”. This BBC TV film stars Helena Bonham Carter as Elizabeth Taylor and Dominic West as Richard Burton1. It focuses on the legendary acting duo and former couple as they prepare for a 1983 theatrical production of the play "Private Lives"2"."
Just wondering: is everyone assuming Taylor's relationship with Joe was volatile the whole time? I always thought it was really peaceful at least the first few years when this was written. That's so surprising if it was always volatile.
Can you react to some Dexta Daps pls… he’s a Jamaican artist but he’s really great. Some song suggestions: WiFi, Call Me If(Remix), and Forever. You’ll definitely like “Call Me If(Remix)”

Well said, great explanation on all counts. ❤
@@calliea3336 Richard Burton was also a MASSIVE alcoholic. I've heard it said he couldn't go 30 minutes without a drink.
“He can be my jailer Burton to this Taylor”
This is not for a movie, just a single from her album "reputation"
Yep, this is just Taylor level videos. She makes her videos like a short movie.
She makes mini movies. Her Director Era is gonna be incredible
@@donaldcase4716the fact that she will start working on her cinematographic career after the eras tour starts is mind boggling, like how do you just finish the biggest tour of all time and go directly at something else? This woman never catches a rest!
I'm new to Tay Tay. She's a Badass❤😂
With Taylor Swift having the lyrics up is always a good thing because she is known for her incredible songwriting.
Songwriting is the music/melody too not just the lyrics, that’s why she’s a songwriter not a writer
Probably one of the few artists who can go from country to rapping and still sound like herself. It's an MV about Tay setting herself free from herself, or her old persona. Becoming a badass. Like she wasn't already, but now she's more of a badass.
and now Beyonce is showing her virtuosity by releasing her Country side!

LOL true dat!! 🤣😂
😂
You should see this song live. The crowd goes NUTSSSSS. Basically foaming at the mouth excited 😂
It’s actually better to read the lyrics when listening to Taylor bc her lyrics are so clever, well written and important
And I appreciate people looking up the lyrics 🩵

Most Taylors videos are like mini movies. Her production skills are amazing.
Taylor has grown up she is 34 years old she is coming into her own!!❤❤❤
This song is the album opener for reputation, so the lyrics like baby let the games begin makes more sense.
All to well short film is so good truly shows her talent artistic ability yo paint a picture she directed and Sadie sink did amazing
All her music videos are movies in and of themselves. It's insane.
You should watch the live version of Intro + Ready For It if you want the best version of this song. Her videos are awesome but her stage presence is amazing.
I like that the song is called 'ready for it' and you weren't ready for it 😂 I just found your channel - I love your thoughtful reactions!
This song is fire af. You should check it out live from the reputation tour. Intro+Ready For It ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Oh and the lyric video of Vigilante Shit!
Yeah until you have experienced T Swift live you have no idea how great she is..
@@chrisnewburg4839 I will never be able to afford to actually be at her show 😩
I think they need to make a Broadway musical from Reputation. If ABBA can do it,
@@SparkimusPrime You can watch the live streams though of the remaining 18 concerts! I watched all the streams from Europe and it's so much fun. You really get a feel for the concert.

You need to listen to End Game featuring Future and Ed Sheeran. She has a part where she raps.
YESSSS! And Bad Blood with Kendrick Lamar and all the famous cameos 🎉
Taylor's music videos have been pretty cinematic over all the years 🖤🐍
You really do Taylor's eras tour. The live is so much more awesome. They way she performs, runs the stage & sucks her audience in. It's unbelievable for real.
This isn’t for a movie. ALL her music videos are INSANE!! You hav to check out “bad blood”!!
Her videos are all like mini movies, all her vision, and 10 of them are solely self-directed. But her first co-directed video was back in 2010.
You really got a lot of meanings in the song and the fact that she's referring to him as her equal partner in crime.
I love how you played back the video and song multiple times for different reasons please do that if you need to
It wasn't made for a movie it's just Taylor Swift trying and succeeding to be iconic.
You are crackin me tf up with this react.
You should watch Are you ready for it, intro + live from the rep tour! Great reaction!

Burton to this Taylor. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor had a deep love for each other. Very famous, and very passionate love.
I just subscribed. I'm just getting to know Taylor with ya'll. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome hypgyp how many songs have you listened to and have you watched any of her concerts? I too was a hippie back in my youth.
This is a Taylor video. They are amazing!
AMAZING REACTION
PLEASE MORE MORE MORE TAY TAY ❤❤❤❤
I’m here for this as a black swifty.
Thank you, I has been trying to understand
More taylor reactions pls!!
Thanks for doing taylor! More...
Please do "i did something bad" from the rep tour next!! its SOOO GOOD
Taylor can do it all. She's not that young girl sitting on the stage with an acoustic guitar anymore
When did you ever see that. I've watched her since the start and she was always such a wild performer starting with all the head banging. She's so adorable and so gifted.
Oh you need to watch the Reputation Tour live performances
💯💯💯
🫶 enjoyed ur reaction
Loved watching your reaction to this. First time watcher. Subscribed.
Look more into the Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor relationship and you’ll understand the song better.
No not a movie, just a wish from Miss Taylor to have a killer music video
Can you please react to 'End Game' by Taylor ft. Ed Sheeran and Future.
If he wants rap that is the one!
Absolutely, I loved it😊
Besides "Out Of The Woods" this is imho THE baddest song Taylor Swift has ever produced. Now let me say right here I am NOT into rap/hiphop but I certainly appreciate all the innuendos Taylor used in the song. It turned me on and I'm 80 years old.
Should watch it live
The live version is great
There is a book about them. Brilliant book called Furious Love
Show in Japan 2nd night -- go see it!!!!!
Kayne get off the floor 😂
This is such a great song to run to
Elizabeth Taylor died in 2011. So there was no movie with her in 2013 unless her older movies got Re-released
RepTV will break the internet
All her videos are like movies - enjoy! ❤
I think “are you ready for it” was more about the gossip they would create and how much attention would be on them.
Versatility.... damn
She is the best
End Game on this album has a great rap!
Turn on the closed captioning
You could easily be an auctioneer, that was some fast talking. Great reaction.

No one was ready for it tbh 🖤
Also, I'm not positive, but I think the video was fashioned after the movie Ghost in the Shell

VERY famous Hollywood couple, notorious for remarrying 6 times.
No, they were only married twice. Elizabeth was married 8 times to seven men - two marriages to Richard Burton.
Her name is Taylor
End game music video
He was a killer because he killed my heart, I was a robber because I can stole his heart
How are you defining "killed" my heart?
dude she telling a story
You should listen to thug story by Taylor swift and t pain❤
You should react to the cover running up that hill by social repose please
❤❤❤❤❤❤
5:00 nope she just has a non existent budget 😩😩😩
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were married twice. Very volatile relationship. Big Hollywood couple.
Just wondering: is everyone assuming Taylor's relationship with Joe was volatile the whole time? I always thought it was really peaceful at least the first few years when this was written. That's so surprising if it was always volatile.
Taylor's music videos have had some serious $$$$ poured into them....hence, the quality.
No movie. For the video
Can you react to some Dexta Daps pls… he’s a Jamaican artist but he’s really great. Some song suggestions: WiFi, Call Me If(Remix), and Forever. You’ll definitely like “Call Me If(Remix)”
ahh so their birth years, 89 and 91 I get it, yes im late
If you like her rap song, you can go to react her song "End Game"
People need to stop sleeping on TS.
you have the whole song wrong check out other ppl that listen to the song
You're not very prepared... Good luck with your channel... I'm out...
YOUNGER THAN MY EXES BUT HE ACT LIKE SUCH A MAN THO..,..
