Lol it cracks me up every time i see that proposal scene. You know that girl's thinking "you little shit! I'm meeting Taylor Swift and you made it awkward and all about you!"😂
It’s not tacky for you to talk about misogyny as a straight white guy, we need to you talk about it. Because the men who need to hear it aren’t going to listen to it from us. Thank you for talking about it.
Exactly! Especially now when we have men emboldened enough to go around telling women "your body my choice" I'm 53 and had another grown ass man tell me a week ago to pick out my handmaids outfit... gtfoh I'm the wrong one
Yeah I’m hearing more and more of this recently and it’s fairly fucking awful. I don’t pretend to know the solution, but try and stay strong, it can’t last. You’d have to fucking hope.
Besides He was drunk af.. 💀 he himself admitted that in an interview shortly after the incident and how he regretted doing it and stuffs lol... Kanye being sober is not able to pull that shit even subconsciously.. let alone drunk 😂
@@Amandaarford83 he must have regretted it at that tym maybe...since they became friends in 2014-15 but not after everything that happened since 2016.
She's more than just a singer. She's a song writer, artist, singer, dancer, director, producer, business owner, merchandiser, and philanthropist. She's bigger than many men, but has had to work twice as hard to prove she belongs there, re-inventing herself, branding genius, linguistic twister, and overall cool lady. That's why so many love her so much, and wish her well. I can only believe the haters are envious, they can only dream of being authentically GOOD. That's it. Taylor Swift is a stellar human, and you either love her or resent her.
Mark, I love your reactions. Looking at your comments section, it appears that some don’t understand the art of sarcasm. As a practitioner of the sarcastic arts myself, I’m here for it. I don’t share all of your opinions, but I respect them and enjoy watching!
Not sure if someone in chat gave you warning, but her song Soon You'll Get Better on Lover is about her mom's cancer battle. It's pretty rough, especially for someone who can relate to that kind of pain. My mom was in and out of the hospital most of my childhood and I was only able to listen to it the one time because it hurt too much. Just to give you a heads up in case you want to listen to it offline or skip it altogether. My mom died when I was 20 and I still consider it the greatest heartbreak of my life 15 years later, so I get where you're coming from.
Taylor´s mom has had cancer before and it came back again a few years ago. But she seems to be doing well now at least. Taylor writes songs differently every time. Most she writes just on guitarr and piano and then takes to the producer, some she writes and traces upon others instrumentals and some she writes like this in the studio. It´s different for every album and different songs. Taylor is very much the producer too. And Taylor has 3 writing styles with her 3 pens. I like all her pens, but some just like 1 or 2 of her pens.
She had already won tons of awards when she was in country music Entertainer of the year huge awards before Kanye ever came up on that stage And I'm so sick of people trying to give him credit for her career Who is nothing but a little man who needs to be squished
This was done over a couple of years so she was documenting everything. She wasn't the one determining what needed to be recorded. But she is one who started vlogging when she was young and loves documenting and keeping those memories.
The song “Soon you’ll get better,” was written when her mom was going through cancer treatments. It’s heartbreaking. I was sick when I first listened to it, and I had a two toddlers. I couldn’t listen to it again until years after I was healthy. If you need a good cry, I recommend it. Taylor’s going to be the most hands on rich celebrity mom out there. The way she lights up and goes out of her way for children is beautiful. I can’t wait to listen to her first album after she has a child. Kanye used Taylor for media attention for a decade. He’s still trying to use her name trying to stay relevant. Kanye being an asshole has nothing to do with his Bipolar. It definitely contributes to the crazy shit he does, but he refuses to take medication so that’s on him too. The bipolar community can’t stand Kayne, because he is stigma amplified and on full display. Also prefer the stripped back and poetic Taylor, but I can definitely appreciate that the super poppy stuff brings a lot of other people joy. She really does have something for everyone.
The thing about Reputation is that it was her comeback album, after leaving the country for a year (after the Kanye drama). And, it is a great album! It really deserved some rewards.
The point is...I don't even think it's comparable to Folklore, in any capacity. It's like saying the sad girl who likes piano ballads and cottagecore is better than the grungy, emo, sexy goth girl 😂
@theoryofperfection4777 I don't compare the albums. Different points in her life, Different types of music. I just happen to love savage Taylor on Reputation. I love that she took the media representations of her and leaned into them and basically took back her own narrative. It is a power album and my go to when I need motivation. I love all her albums and eras. But, you have to let each stand on its own.
Andrea, Taylor's mother, was diagnosed with cancer in the early 2010s, "beat it" but then was rediagnose again in 2019. Taylor has not been public about her mother's health since 2020 (which unfortunately I believe was the best cause her haters used to send death threats to Taylor about Andrea and laugh about her cancer online)
She has given millions and millions of dollars away to charities She's help people who went through floods in tornadoes Giving millions to education In poor neighborhoods
11:13 I’m so forever grateful that we have on camera Taylor recording “Me!” And actually believing she ate with that 😂 The poor thing was so excited about that song.
Her mom had breast cancer, got better, but then got cancer again but in her brain. 😢. We didn’t see or hear from her mom for a long time so I suspect it was a long hard fight. She has been at a few of Taylor’s concerts, but I feel things are different for her since then. Her dad had cancer too, and he too recovered.
10:32 LOL your squirm was amazing. This documentary looks into her life. Part of that life is choosing bad singles. And getting told something sounds great when it clearly does not. But it also shows how she deals with fame and the creative times with her peers. Also how she lets her legacy influence her every move
@@emmavink I think it's a bit different to knowingly do it as part of your PR & marketing and our babysitter who films practically every moment from grabbing juice to brushing her teeth for a nonexistent audience.
@theConquerersMama no one suggested that second scenario that you delightfully illustrated though. I think it's more of a comment on the jarring thing of "we are filming the reaction even though it's a bit of an awkward thing to do in the first place, but ok, we are doing it" and then just the all out anti-climax of the moment coupled with her obvious heartbreak. Up until then, I think it was the most drastic musical shift she'd made in her career. I think only now looking back does it really make sense how happy she was about all the Folklore Grammy wins. She also deviated quite hard from her normal genre, but this time, it worked out 😊 I think that's also probably why I LOVE Lover so much as an album. I feel like after the disappointment of Reputation in terms of critical recognition, she was just over it. And under her own production/the turnover to the new record label, she made Lover just for herself.
@emmavink I am not arguing with you. I was pointing out that there is a difference between filming something with a nod to your business mind (whether you keep it for yourself or use it publicly) and self indulgent filming yourself for your own reasons - whether some think they are narcissistic or a vanity. I agree that the disappointment over the lack of recognition (at the time) for reputation allowed her to work on Lover in a different way. Personally, I loved Reputation and missed the acclaim because of timing not the content or quality.
My Mom died of cancer as well, 5 years after my brother Steve died of cancer, 3 months after my Mom died my brother Chris died from cancer also...I completely shut down...don't think I will ever recover from that...know how how you feel Mark...FUCK CANCER!!!
I have to admit to being one of the apparently few lovers of Me!!!. I think it's a fun song! I definitely think it was the wrong choice for first single, but I love it.
@ruffboiALT I adore Me!!! I also get why it's not everyone's thing. The reason why many do not like it are the reasons I love it. It's such an over the top pop fuff song.
Ya, the first time I saw that proposal clip, I just thought that dude is the laziest, most opportunistic mofo for piggybacking on his girlfriend's moment to meet her pop icon 😂 that is shit she is going to be cussing him out for when they are 80 😂😂😂
the moment with the Dixie Chicks had me harder since the Russia - Ukraine war began cuz I’m Russian haha and LOTS of my favourite artists had to leave the country not only because of media shitting on them but cuz of governmental threats. and lots of my friends too (due to being involved with Navalny’s regional headquarter in my hometown) loved your reaction though, hi from the city of Voronezh, Russia❤
@@markabusireactions thank you 🖤 yes, the world is a mess right now lol l’m as fine as I can be living in a big city near the border (not really bad but alarmingly loud sometimes)
Oh, my god. You had me at “what if it likes oasis.” I am marked safe from caring about an Oasis reunion. We are in the minority, too - so many people love them. Couldn’t stand them back when they were popular in the 90’s and can’t believe people are excited about them getting back together
So my son is a music producer and engineer and also a musician in his own band. He had also himself been on a few labels. I've never seen this. Bands come in with their songs and albums. Now my son gives suggestions and he may say something should change for whatever reason, however the band writes the songs. Once in awhile my son will realize a member in the band who is struggling writing his part.. like a bass player or guitar player and he may write some of it with them. The bands are here in person and they all work together and often my son changes nothing. Label behind them or not. Labels don't control what your making they preview it and may give feedback on song lengths or single ideas but they don't construct your songs. We have bands here almost daily working on songs and albums. Even my own kids. It's hard work for everyone
See, that was my experience in the studio too! But I know a good amount of stories of artists splitting with labels because they’ve twisted their songs, or the label refuses to release what the artists want to make etc, and because I have no experience with major label, I wasn’t entirely sure just how much away they had over the final product.
@@markabusireactions so actually when I think back to some boy bands. Like one direction who was were thrown together in a group. The label brought writers because they were young and hadn't written songs. So in those cases yes the label does do that. Of course as they got older they wrote a lot more. I think with singers it's more of a thing and used to be more of a thing than with a band situation. However I can tell you my son has written drums for a lot of bands who's drummers didn't record well
I hate saying this because I've been a Swiftie from the start and I tried SO hard to like ME! Especially since it was right after Reputation but it was so hard to do. Picking it as the lead single was probably a mistake and others would have been a much better choice. And I felt terrible after seeing this documentary because she loved it so much.
33:15 - The second-hand embarrassment is reall!!!🤣 Also, your opinions are insightful but also hilarious, which is why we're here. p.s. I almost unsubscribed when you said you like Trump. Glad I stuck around for the punchline (25% haha) 😉. Jk!
I can 100% agree with you on the song Me! It's my least favorite song by Taylor, and I'm a huge Swiftie. Not every one is going to be a banger or relate, but I love her honesty. She admits that she thrives off of validation and praise, and being known as good. On the other side, she does the things that would make a person good, and be perceived as good.
Always enjoy your reactions but had to comment when you brought up Biffy. Weirdly, I always felt Taylor would appreciate Simon's lyricism. I also love them; great live band! Wish more people would discover their sound
She was already going pop before this little incident It just imagine this what if it was your daughter that was 19 years old and somebody did that to her would you be laughing Probably Off is a very nice genuine person
Oh, also, just before I lose the thought...because my adhd brain will punt it into oblivion if I put my phone down 😂 Definitely look up the venn diagram for ADHD and ASD. The differences are good to know....but the amount of overlap is really eye-opening. I think especially people with ADHD who don't present with hyper inattentiveness misdiagnose themselves/are misdiagnoses with ASD when this isn't necessarily the case. In theory, this shouldn't be such a big issue...but fot medication purposes, it is extremely important to get it right. I probably should have had an instinct the two times I took E at clubs and my friends were going batshit around me and I was just sitting in a corner with some of the best concentration and clarity I've ever had in my life 😂 It took me till my late 20s to get a diagnosis...and it took my stubborn ass a good few years after that to get properly medicated. It's not a cure...but it's a MASSIVE fking gamechanger!
@@markabusireactions 😂😂😂😂😂 coffee is actually the worst because it's all hyperaction and no focus. I also very nearly died the one and only time I had a Red Bull 😂
@user-gp9es3rd3e abso-fking-lutely! For me, coffee only raises my heartbeat anyway. Doesn't help for shit for me with actual focus 🙈 I think probably one of the worst aspects of ADHD medications also is that I don't know if a single place in the world or medical scheme that covers the medications because they are almost all stimulants that neurotypical people misuse. I'm literally paying about the same for my ADHD meds as I do on my car payments 😳
You've lost your mind to think Kanye was trying to help her in that moment 😅 hopefully by the end of this reaction to her doc changes your mind. That's an insane take on that, I mean are you kidding?
But ignore that, you got there, and I'm so sorry you had all that with your parents. I've been there with cancer scares, but thankfully didn't lose anyone
No her eagle isn't crushed she's disappointed That she didn't get the recognition that she thought the record would get she thought it was a really good album That's it nothing about it ego or anything else People read too much in that things
I mean, Ego as a concept is not a bad thing, we all have ego. the fact that she thought the record was good and would get recognition is a part of ego, she thought "I did a good job and worked hard and people will recognize that." So in that sense her ego was crushed, because she worked really hard but other people don't seem to agree that her album was good.
she did not film herself while the grammy nominations its the director and ppl making the documentry that followed her every where and then at the end its both of there choice to keep or not keep it in the documentry.....why would she film her grammy nominations she doesn't do that also, you said wee bit performative but i'm like 1000% sure wouldn't ve' said that if it was a male artist
I 100% would have said that if it was a male performer. You realise my entire monologue there was saying “I can see how people see this as performative and narcissistic, but here is my defence of that”? You seem to have completely misunderstood the entirety of that passage.
if Kanye was saving taylor it doesn't make sense why he did what he did to her years later, with the song, music video, the edited phone call, the ganging up on her on social media with others etc...
Boiling someone's life experiences down to "drama" is a pretty crappy thing to do. I agree with you that I don't care what thing in her life inspired a song, I want to like it on my own without knowing about her life. But these things really happened to her, they are her life and calling it "drama" is pretty disrespectful.
It’s a fairly popular phrase, but okay cool. Also, I was specifically referring to her relationship dramas. Obviously on songs like Marjorie, that’s different. But if she’s written a song about one of her relationships, I don’t need to know the ins and outs of who it was or what specifically happened. If calling that kinda stuff drama makes me disrespectful, so be it. 🤷♂️ some people prefer to police words rather than context I guess.
You know what I don’t get? Taylor’s letting herself be vulnerable and show, like he says, “the woman behind the music,” but whenever he does get, he give her labels like narcisistic, egomaniac and stuff like that…she didn’t change genres bc of f- kxnx3 or lack of grammy noms, this is literally just a woman sharing part of her and just to be pinned down as a bad person, or idk a brat throwing a tantrum… and this is why she wrote “the man”, “mad woman” and “cassandra”, because doesn’t matter what she does or say, people always ignore her words and put their own labels and reasons behind every move she does instead of just understand this is a woman with flaws and insecurities… YOU need to calm down. Came here literally with popcorn to watch the video and I’m leaving at 28min mark because this is too misogynistic for me to watch. It can become amazing/best video ever after I leave but I wouldn’t know bc the comments put me down in a way I don’t mind watching anymore. As a woman who’s had to handle cancer and got through it trying my best to stay positive and finding comfort in Taylor’s art, its frustrating. Not trying to be a hater or annoying, just thought if we’re being all that honest and this is a non-personal feedback and maybe this helps. Good luck in life, lots of love and light and good things on your way but I’m out, bye 👋🏻
Clearly everything I was saying went right over your head, since absolutely none of it was insulting or misogynistic. I didn’t say she was narcissistic, I said that in order to get to the levels of success she has, people need to indulge in their narcissistic side, which EVERYONE has. In terms of her ego, again, everyone has an ego. I was talking in psychological terms about her motivations, I wasn’t just throwing labels at her because she’s a woman, what a stupid thing to say. Also, you left right before the big rant about misogyny and how it was up to guys to speak up about misogyny because it’s men’s job to try and dismantle it, but thanks for labelling me like that regardless. Way to completely misunderstand an entire video, well done.
@ so maybe you should choose your words more carefully, because if you go back to beginning you can see you judging her sadness over reputation not being celebrated as she expected, especially because it came out in a time she was still raw and insecure from all the hate she was thrown after that famous pathetic stunt KW pulled. But okay, you know what? I’m not a prideful person but I am truthful, maybe I did not understand your words as you meant so I will watch it to the end because of it. I don’t like judging from first impressions, but as a woman, don’t try to tell me what I should or not feel, I know exactly whats like living in a misogynistic world is like. I wasn’t trying to put you down, I think you needed the feedback, so I gave what I had to give and what my heart felt like saying. I will finish watching, but pls be more careful with the way you speak, it might come out wrong to people watching. No irony here, really sending love and light and good things only for you. If you want, I can say my opinion at the comments when I end, if u don’t care or don’t want to, I want. I will respect your choice, ofc. Have a good day 👍🏻
@@mimstarkgaryen6182 see, again though… I wasn’t judging her. I was saying, if you had been listening properly, one way of looking at it is that she’s narcissistic and arrogant because she’s upset she didn’t get nominated for anything. But that *I* feel like these are perfectly valid things to be feeling because she’s an artist who felt like she had put out her best work and she felt she deserved some recognition for that. I was making the argument that if you pour your soul into your work, it’s totally reasonable to hope it receives recognition, and I was also saying in terms of ego, that most artistic endeavours revolve around the ego to some degree. I dunno why I’m typing out all of this, I explained it fairly well in the video tbh. Honestly I’d say to not even watch the rest of the video. If that part of it made you think I was misogynistic and a hater, then none of the rest of the jokes or comments are gonna be to your liking. Can’t win em all, I guess.
@@markabusireactions ok, I will respect your preference. I hope you don’t receive this as hate, It wasn’t my intention, maybe we come from different cultures and grew under different povs and I went through enough in life to get very defensive of taylor, women in general, for all I’ve seen. I hope you continue your channel and grow a lot. Good luck and have a wonderful life. Sorry if It sounded rude, it wasn’t my intention. But cool, nice meeting you! 👋🏻
Thank you for doing this!! I love it when you giggle at your jokes! My perspective is Kanye didn’t do anything for Taylor he did things after this that negates he was trying to save her. Trying to frame her with edited video and putting a naked Taylor in his video had nothing to do with Beyoncé. Personally it’s not funny at all imagine if you get an award for your music abd hard work for the first time and someone embarrassed you. It wouldn’t be funny objectively or subjectively or at least it shouldn’t be. Kanye is an a$$. The trash takes itself out! I love your videos and I’ve lived the journey from the first one!!
So you have realized!?? Hmm 🤔 I think Taylor did not forget to mention anybody because she did not know about it, first; and second this scene happens and at a later time is when K West dropped out his new song called ‘I made that 817__ famous’ So, why would he want to protect someone to then try to tear that person into pieces by calling this person by the worst names, not only that but also saying lies about this person on that song too, Why? So, have you realized really? Or is it that you just went with what you heard, or read a bit of it, but didn’t bother to inform yourself more about it so you don’t put yourself in spreading misinformation? Now, I wanna be clear that I’m no hater at all, I have watched many of your videos and I liked them, although there have been times where you certainly say things that even if you excuse yourself before saying that, you still say it and no matter what the topic is you say it sarcastically, or always in a way where you want to stay in middle but then why excuse yourself and then say whatever you like to say. That contradicts yourself in many occasions….. so I decided to leave a comment this time. Hope you read my comment in a positive end,l and not take it my comment in a negative way. [ Sorry if you don’t like it or if you didn’t know what happened (but you have stated that you have realized that KW is a hero [so you know what happened according to your own words and to your explanation] but I still had to express myself and leave my comment.) Hope to see more videos/reactions of you. Peace ☮️ mate.
No she's 1 tons of major awards she'd already won Grammys by that time You need to do some research before you open your mouth and talk about stuff you don't know what you're talking about
From what I remember Taylor’s songs were already impacting pop music at the time of the MTV awards, so she was famous but not like big pop star famous. I remember thinking the Kanye thing was kind of funny but that he was a douche. When I watch it now, the mom in me goes feral thinking I would tear him up. This was one of the early awards of the night (best female video maybe?) and Beyonce went on to win the biggest award, Video of the year. Before she made her speech she invited Taylor back onstage to finish her speech. Taylor said something about how she just felt like a little country artist who was invited to hang with the cool kids that night. It’s so much sadder in retrospect Yes to your reaction to Lover being too long! All her albums are too long (even Folklore, but it’s a beautiful cohesive project so it’s perfect). ME is such a bad song it makes me feel angry. In fact, every song she did in the studio there with that producer (aka, NOT Jack or Aaron) is just not good. His beats are boring and he somehow didn’t elevate her cheesiest instincts. Yes she has them, just like Sir Paul M. This is why Lover is such a miss of an album for me, other than a handful of brilliant songs. Like maybe 8-10 at most.
Lol... my daughters favorite song is shake it off so yes, they definitely can have interesting taste in music. Then again she's 5 so it's cool. Better than cocomelon😊

She's more than just a singer. She's a song writer, artist, singer, dancer, director, producer, business owner, merchandiser, and philanthropist. She's bigger than many men, but has had to work twice as hard to prove she belongs there, re-inventing herself, branding genius, linguistic twister, and overall cool lady. That's why so many love her so much, and wish her well. I can only believe the haters are envious, they can only dream of being authentically GOOD. That's it.

Mark, I love your reactions. Looking at your comments section, it appears that some don’t understand the art of sarcasm. As a practitioner of the sarcastic arts myself, I’m here for it. I don’t share all of your opinions, but I respect them and enjoy watching!
So many people have completely misunderstood almost every part of this video, and it’s fucking incredible 😂
11:40 I am losing it because one of the songs on Lover is "You Need to Calm Down" XDDDD
I had the same thought 😂😂😂
Me too😂
Not sure if someone in chat gave you warning, but her song Soon You'll Get Better on Lover is about her mom's cancer battle. It's pretty rough, especially for someone who can relate to that kind of pain. My mom was in and out of the hospital most of my childhood and I was only able to listen to it the one time because it hurt too much. Just to give you a heads up in case you want to listen to it offline or skip it altogether. My mom died when I was 20 and I still consider it the greatest heartbreak of my life 15 years later, so I get where you're coming from.
I tend to try and face these things head on, I figure it’ll give a fairly good reaction at least… 😳
Taylor´s mom has had cancer before and it came back again a few years ago. But she seems to be doing well now at least. Taylor writes songs differently every time. Most she writes just on guitarr and piano and then takes to the producer, some she writes and traces upon others instrumentals and some she writes like this in the studio. It´s different for every album and different songs. Taylor is very much the producer too. And Taylor has 3 writing styles with her 3 pens. I like all her pens, but some just like 1 or 2 of her pens.
She had already won tons of awards when she was in country music Entertainer of the year huge awards before Kanye ever came up on that stage And I'm so sick of people trying to give him credit for her career Who is nothing but a little man who needs to be squished
Agreed
This was done over a couple of years so she was documenting everything. She wasn't the one determining what needed to be recorded. But she is one who started vlogging when she was young and loves documenting and keeping those memories.
Mark, you'll know you've made it when some people propose live on your Twitch Stream.
4:39 yeah, but people film themselves reading their college acceptance letters, or taking a pregnancy test. Theses days it's just normal 😂
i think i might be the only ME! apologist in the world lol
The song “Soon you’ll get better,” was written when her mom was going through cancer treatments. It’s heartbreaking. I was sick when I first listened to it, and I had a two toddlers. I couldn’t listen to it again until years after I was healthy. If you need a good cry, I recommend it.
Taylor’s going to be the most hands on rich celebrity mom out there. The way she lights up and goes out of her way for children is beautiful. I can’t wait to listen to her first album after she has a child.
Kanye used Taylor for media attention for a decade. He’s still trying to use her name trying to stay relevant. Kanye being an asshole has nothing to do with his Bipolar. It definitely contributes to the crazy shit he does, but he refuses to take medication so that’s on him too. The bipolar community can’t stand Kayne, because he is stigma amplified and on full display.
Also prefer the stripped back and poetic Taylor, but I can definitely appreciate that the super poppy stuff brings a lot of other people joy. She really does have something for everyone.
The thing about Reputation is that it was her comeback album, after leaving the country for a year (after the Kanye drama). And, it is a great album! It really deserved some rewards.
The point is...I don't even think it's comparable to Folklore, in any capacity. It's like saying the sad girl who likes piano ballads and cottagecore is better than the grungy, emo, sexy goth girl 😂
Depends. Do they both look like Taylor Swift?
@theoryofperfection4777 I don't compare the albums. Different points in her life, Different types of music. I just happen to love savage Taylor on Reputation. I love that she took the media representations of her and leaned into them and basically took back her own narrative. It is a power album and my go to when I need motivation. I love all her albums and eras. But, you have to let each stand on its own.
Holy shit Mark...the Beehive is listening... Hush 😂😂😂
Andrea, Taylor's mother, was diagnosed with cancer in the early 2010s, "beat it" but then was rediagnose again in 2019. Taylor has not been public about her mother's health since 2020 (which unfortunately I believe was the best cause her haters used to send death threats to Taylor about Andrea and laugh about her cancer online)
Mark seems like such a lovely guy 😊 joined your patreon for Taylor but have stayed for so much more.
Aw thank you so much!
Your opinions on Kelly Roland were unexpected and hilarious and refreshing! 😂
She has given millions and millions of dollars away to charities She's help people who went through floods in tornadoes Giving millions to education In poor neighborhoods
57:12 society still tolerating you being successfully, bc you’re beautiful human. I will always support you
11:13 I’m so forever grateful that we have on camera Taylor recording “Me!” And actually believing she ate with that 😂 The poor thing was so excited about that song.
👏 👏 👏 Thanks...I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction Mark...very nice
Her mom had breast cancer, got better, but then got cancer again but in her brain. 😢. We didn’t see or hear from her mom for a long time so I suspect it was a long hard fight. She has been at a few of Taylor’s concerts, but I feel things are different for her since then. Her dad had cancer too, and he too recovered.
10:32 LOL your squirm was amazing. This documentary looks into her life. Part of that life is choosing bad singles. And getting told something sounds great when it clearly does not. But it also shows how she deals with fame and the creative times with her peers. Also how she lets her legacy influence her every move
She was actually not filming herself Her PR person was 1 of her team members was filming her
I mean...that's just semantics. She was being filmed with her knowledge and consent. It's a fairly standard PR thing.
@@emmavink I think it's a bit different to knowingly do it as part of your PR & marketing and our babysitter who films practically every moment from grabbing juice to brushing her teeth for a nonexistent audience.
@theConquerersMama no one suggested that second scenario that you delightfully illustrated though. I think it's more of a comment on the jarring thing of "we are filming the reaction even though it's a bit of an awkward thing to do in the first place, but ok, we are doing it" and then just the all out anti-climax of the moment coupled with her obvious heartbreak.
Up until then, I think it was the most drastic musical shift she'd made in her career. I think only now looking back does it really make sense how happy she was about all the Folklore Grammy wins. She also deviated quite hard from her normal genre, but this time, it worked out 😊
I think that's also probably why I LOVE Lover so much as an album. I feel like after the disappointment of Reputation in terms of critical recognition, she was just over it. And under her own production/the turnover to the new record label, she made Lover just for herself.
@emmavink I am not arguing with you.
I was pointing out that there is a difference between filming something with a nod to your business mind (whether you keep it for yourself or use it publicly) and self indulgent filming yourself for your own reasons - whether some think they are narcissistic or a vanity.
I agree that the disappointment over the lack of recognition (at the time) for reputation allowed her to work on Lover in a different way.
Personally, I loved Reputation and missed the acclaim because of timing not the content or quality.
My Mom died of cancer as well, 5 years after my brother Steve died of cancer, 3 months after my Mom died my brother Chris died from cancer also...I completely shut down...don't think I will ever recover from that...know how how you feel Mark...FUCK CANCER!!!
Just lost my Dad to cancer. FUCK CANCER FOR REAL!!!
I’m really sorry to hear that, I hope you manage to pull through!!
Thank you@@markabusireactions
I have to admit to being one of the apparently few lovers of Me!!!. I think it's a fun song! I definitely think it was the wrong choice for first single, but I love it.
@ruffboiALT I adore Me!!!
I also get why it's not everyone's thing.
The reason why many do not like it are the reasons I love it. It's such an over the top pop fuff song.
Haha the proposal- Taylor Swift finally made you cry 😂
😂😂😂 FUCK THE DRAMA!!! Let's go!!!
Thank you beyonce
😂😂😂
Hi fellow neurodivergent, Glaswegian, Swiftie (?) 👋 really enjoyed your reaction to this!
Ya, the first time I saw that proposal clip, I just thought that dude is the laziest, most opportunistic mofo for piggybacking on his girlfriend's moment to meet her pop icon 😂 that is shit she is going to be cussing him out for when they are 80 😂😂😂
the moment with the Dixie Chicks had me harder since the Russia - Ukraine war began cuz I’m Russian haha and LOTS of my favourite artists had to leave the country not only because of media shitting on them but cuz of governmental threats. and lots of my friends too (due to being involved with Navalny’s regional headquarter in my hometown)
loved your reaction though, hi from the city of Voronezh, Russia❤
That’s really sad to hear, I hope you’re doing okay, it’s difficult times everywhere at the moment!
@@markabusireactions thank you 🖤
yes, the world is a mess right now lol
l’m as fine as I can be living in a big city near the border (not really bad but alarmingly loud sometimes)
@@sophiemoroz5744 nah that would be fucking terrifying, not gonna lie
@@markabusireactions I know :D
but it’s been a while and I got used to it, however I understand that that’s not normal at all
No she's involved in all aspects of her music
I love the cheeky wee spud and the colour splash 😊 hope it's making the copyright stuff easier
Oh, my god. You had me at “what if it likes oasis.”
I am marked safe from caring about an Oasis reunion. We are in the minority, too - so many people love them. Couldn’t stand them back when they were popular in the 90’s and can’t believe people are excited about them getting back together
So my son is a music producer and engineer and also a musician in his own band. He had also himself been on a few labels. I've never seen this. Bands come in with their songs and albums. Now my son gives suggestions and he may say something should change for whatever reason, however the band writes the songs. Once in awhile my son will realize a member in the band who is struggling writing his part.. like a bass player or guitar player and he may write some of it with them. The bands are here in person and they all work together and often my son changes nothing. Label behind them or not. Labels don't control what your making they preview it and may give feedback on song lengths or single ideas but they don't construct your songs. We have bands here almost daily working on songs and albums. Even my own kids. It's hard work for everyone
See, that was my experience in the studio too! But I know a good amount of stories of artists splitting with labels because they’ve twisted their songs, or the label refuses to release what the artists want to make etc, and because I have no experience with major label, I wasn’t entirely sure just how much away they had over the final product.
@@markabusireactions so actually when I think back to some boy bands. Like one direction who was were thrown together in a group. The label brought writers because they were young and hadn't written songs. So in those cases yes the label does do that. Of course as they got older they wrote a lot more. I think with singers it's more of a thing and used to be more of a thing than with a band situation. However I can tell you my son has written drums for a lot of bands who's drummers didn't record well
The map that did that to her was a professional DJ
I hate saying this because I've been a Swiftie from the start and I tried SO hard to like ME! Especially since it was right after Reputation but it was so hard to do. Picking it as the lead single was probably a mistake and others would have been a much better choice. And I felt terrible after seeing this documentary because she loved it so much.
You absolutely kill me😂
I think in a few months’ time latest, everyone will look at large chunks of this documentary very, very differently 🙈
What is the video that you’re watching called?
Miss Americana. It’s on Netflix
That engagement was so hard to watch.
33:15 - The second-hand embarrassment is reall!!!🤣 Also, your opinions are insightful but also hilarious, which is why we're here.
p.s. I almost unsubscribed when you said you like Trump. Glad I stuck around for the punchline (25% haha) 😉. Jk!
I can 100% agree with you on the song Me! It's my least favorite song by Taylor, and I'm a huge Swiftie. Not every one is going to be a banger or relate, but I love her honesty. She admits that she thrives off of validation and praise, and being known as good. On the other side, she does the things that would make a person good, and be perceived as good.
Always enjoy your reactions but had to comment when you brought up Biffy. Weirdly, I always felt Taylor would appreciate Simon's lyricism. I also love them; great live band! Wish more people would discover their sound
I mean their lyrics are objectively terrible 😂😂
@@markabusireactions What?! Nooooo 😂
@@MsClarissa29 I’m the second devil on your right, or left with an eyeball, melting from the corner of my mouth.
Shit 😂
@markabusireactions 🤣🤣 they did get better after that though. We're always running scared but holding knives
😂😂😂 QUIT laughing Mark!!!
She was already going pop before this little incident It just imagine this what if it was your daughter that was 19 years old and somebody did that to her would you be laughing Probably Off is a very nice genuine person
Oh, also, just before I lose the thought...because my adhd brain will punt it into oblivion if I put my phone down 😂
Definitely look up the venn diagram for ADHD and ASD. The differences are good to know....but the amount of overlap is really eye-opening.
I think especially people with ADHD who don't present with hyper inattentiveness misdiagnose themselves/are misdiagnoses with ASD when this isn't necessarily the case.
In theory, this shouldn't be such a big issue...but fot medication purposes, it is extremely important to get it right.
I probably should have had an instinct the two times I took E at clubs and my friends were going batshit around me and I was just sitting in a corner with some of the best concentration and clarity I've ever had in my life 😂
It took me till my late 20s to get a diagnosis...and it took my stubborn ass a good few years after that to get properly medicated.
It's not a cure...but it's a MASSIVE fking gamechanger!
Makes you wonder how many of the "I need 6 cups of coffee per day to function!" crew are actually just self-medicating for ADHD without realising lol
You know, I’ve only ever had one cup of coffee in my life, and it made me absolutely lose my shit 😂 never again!
@@markabusireactions 😂😂😂😂😂 coffee is actually the worst because it's all hyperaction and no focus. I also very nearly died the one and only time I had a Red Bull 😂
@user-gp9es3rd3e abso-fking-lutely! For me, coffee only raises my heartbeat anyway. Doesn't help for shit for me with actual focus 🙈
I think probably one of the worst aspects of ADHD medications also is that I don't know if a single place in the world or medical scheme that covers the medications because they are almost all stimulants that neurotypical people misuse.
I'm literally paying about the same for my ADHD meds as I do on my car payments 😳
Only the Young (song at end) is not on any album.
You've lost your mind to think Kanye was trying to help her in that moment 😅 hopefully by the end of this reaction to her doc changes your mind. That's an insane take on that, I mean are you kidding?
But ignore that, you got there, and I'm so sorry you had all that with your parents. I've been there with cancer scares, but thankfully didn't lose anyone
I… I was obviously kidding about Kanye 😂😂
He was actually diagnosed as bipolar somebody said
No her eagle isn't crushed she's disappointed That she didn't get the recognition that she thought the record would get she thought it was a really good album That's it nothing about it ego or anything else People read too much in that things
I mean, Ego as a concept is not a bad thing, we all have ego. the fact that she thought the record was good and would get recognition is a part of ego, she thought "I did a good job and worked hard and people will recognize that." So in that sense her ego was crushed, because she worked really hard but other people don't seem to agree that her album was good.
9:25 The truly sad thing is that Rep >>>>>Lover.
What did you expect Taylor to do she probably had no idea what was he was doing So what do you say in that situation
15:32 Haha 🤣🤣🤣
No she always wants to put out the best for her fans It's so she feels like she didn't do what she said out to do
A narcissistic wouldnt say my record wasnt good enough. Ill make a better one. Ohhh no.
Lol. Yes, we must of course thank Beyonce 😂
she did not film herself while the grammy nominations its the director and ppl making the documentry that followed her every where and then at the end its both of there choice to keep or not keep it in the documentry.....why would she film her grammy nominations she doesn't do that also, you said wee bit performative but i'm like 1000% sure wouldn't ve' said that if it was a male artist
I 100% would have said that if it was a male performer. You realise my entire monologue there was saying “I can see how people see this as performative and narcissistic, but here is my defence of that”? You seem to have completely misunderstood the entirety of that passage.
if Kanye was saving taylor it doesn't make sense why he did what he did to her years later, with the song, music video, the edited phone call, the ganging up on her on social media with others etc...
Jesus Christ. The joke was about Beyoncé killing peoples that don’t thank her during award speeches.
She had cancer twice already It came back
Boiling someone's life experiences down to "drama" is a pretty crappy thing to do. I agree with you that I don't care what thing in her life inspired a song, I want to like it on my own without knowing about her life. But these things really happened to her, they are her life and calling it "drama" is pretty disrespectful.
It’s a fairly popular phrase, but okay cool. Also, I was specifically referring to her relationship dramas. Obviously on songs like Marjorie, that’s different. But if she’s written a song about one of her relationships, I don’t need to know the ins and outs of who it was or what specifically happened. If calling that kinda stuff drama makes me disrespectful, so be it. 🤷♂️ some people prefer to police words rather than context I guess.
@@markabusireactionsagain, it’s not “drama”, it’s her life. We’ve all had breakups. She’s no different than you.
I mean… I refer to my own breakups as drama too, so… 🤷♂️
You know what I don’t get? Taylor’s letting herself be vulnerable and show, like he says, “the woman behind the music,” but whenever he does get, he give her labels like narcisistic, egomaniac and stuff like that…she didn’t change genres bc of f- kxnx3 or lack of grammy noms, this is literally just a woman sharing part of her and just to be pinned down as a bad person, or idk a brat throwing a tantrum… and this is why she wrote “the man”, “mad woman” and “cassandra”, because doesn’t matter what she does or say, people always ignore her words and put their own labels and reasons behind every move she does instead of just understand this is a woman with flaws and insecurities… YOU need to calm down. Came here literally with popcorn to watch the video and I’m leaving at 28min mark because this is too misogynistic for me to watch. It can become amazing/best video ever after I leave but I wouldn’t know bc the comments put me down in a way I don’t mind watching anymore. As a woman who’s had to handle cancer and got through it trying my best to stay positive and finding comfort in Taylor’s art, its frustrating. Not trying to be a hater or annoying, just thought if we’re being all that honest and this is a non-personal feedback and maybe this helps. Good luck in life, lots of love and light and good things on your way but I’m out, bye 👋🏻
Clearly everything I was saying went right over your head, since absolutely none of it was insulting or misogynistic. I didn’t say she was narcissistic, I said that in order to get to the levels of success she has, people need to indulge in their narcissistic side, which EVERYONE has.
In terms of her ego, again, everyone has an ego. I was talking in psychological terms about her motivations, I wasn’t just throwing labels at her because she’s a woman, what a stupid thing to say. Also, you left right before the big rant about misogyny and how it was up to guys to speak up about misogyny because it’s men’s job to try and dismantle it, but thanks for labelling me like that regardless.
Way to completely misunderstand an entire video, well done.
@ so maybe you should choose your words more carefully, because if you go back to beginning you can see you judging her sadness over reputation not being celebrated as she expected, especially because it came out in a time she was still raw and insecure from all the hate she was thrown after that famous pathetic stunt KW pulled. But okay, you know what? I’m not a prideful person but I am truthful, maybe I did not understand your words as you meant so I will watch it to the end because of it. I don’t like judging from first impressions, but as a woman, don’t try to tell me what I should or not feel, I know exactly whats like living in a misogynistic world is like. I wasn’t trying to put you down, I think you needed the feedback, so I gave what I had to give and what my heart felt like saying. I will finish watching, but pls be more careful with the way you speak, it might come out wrong to people watching. No irony here, really sending love and light and good things only for you. If you want, I can say my opinion at the comments when I end, if u don’t care or don’t want to, I want. I will respect your choice, ofc. Have a good day 👍🏻
@@mimstarkgaryen6182 see, again though… I wasn’t judging her. I was saying, if you had been listening properly, one way of looking at it is that she’s narcissistic and arrogant because she’s upset she didn’t get nominated for anything. But that *I* feel like these are perfectly valid things to be feeling because she’s an artist who felt like she had put out her best work and she felt she deserved some recognition for that. I was making the argument that if you pour your soul into your work, it’s totally reasonable to hope it receives recognition, and I was also saying in terms of ego, that most artistic endeavours revolve around the ego to some degree. I dunno why I’m typing out all of this, I explained it fairly well in the video tbh.
Honestly I’d say to not even watch the rest of the video. If that part of it made you think I was misogynistic and a hater, then none of the rest of the jokes or comments are gonna be to your liking. Can’t win em all, I guess.
@@markabusireactions ok, I will respect your preference. I hope you don’t receive this as hate, It wasn’t my intention, maybe we come from different cultures and grew under different povs and I went through enough in life to get very defensive of taylor, women in general, for all I’ve seen. I hope you continue your channel and grow a lot. Good luck and have a wonderful life. Sorry if It sounded rude, it wasn’t my intention. But cool, nice meeting you! 👋🏻
Sometimes I think everyone is on the spectrum somewhere
@@CindyEvens-nh2tm surely they must be, even if it’s the very very edge?
My problem with you is that you are too eff'n funny! I can't hear half of what you're saying because I'm laughing like a hyena.
Honestly, I’m sorry 😂
Thank you for doing this!! I love it when you giggle at your jokes! My perspective is Kanye didn’t do anything for Taylor he did things after this that negates he was trying to save her. Trying to frame her with edited video and putting a naked Taylor in his video had nothing to do with Beyoncé. Personally it’s not funny at all imagine if you get an award for your music abd hard work for the first time and someone embarrassed you. It wouldn’t be funny objectively or subjectively or at least it shouldn’t be. Kanye is an a$$. The trash takes itself out!
I love your videos and I’ve lived the journey from the first one!!
Keep watching… I was joking about Kanye…
So you have realized!?? Hmm 🤔
I think Taylor did not forget to mention anybody because she did not know about it, first; and second this scene happens and at a later time is when K West dropped out his new song called ‘I made that 817__ famous’
So, why would he want to protect someone to then try to tear that person into pieces by calling this person by the worst names, not only that but also saying lies about this person on that song too, Why?
So, have you realized really? Or is it that you just went with what you heard, or read a bit of it, but didn’t bother to inform yourself more about it so you don’t put yourself in spreading misinformation?
Now, I wanna be clear that I’m no hater at all, I have watched many of your videos and I liked them, although there have been times where you certainly say things that even if you excuse yourself before saying that, you still say it and no matter what the topic is you say it sarcastically, or always in a way where you want to stay in middle but then why excuse yourself and then say whatever you like to say. That contradicts yourself in many occasions….. so I decided to leave a comment this time. Hope you read my comment in a positive end,l and not take it my comment in a negative way.
[ Sorry if you don’t like it or if you didn’t know what happened (but you have stated that you have realized that KW is a hero [so you know what happened according to your own words and to your explanation] but I still had to express myself and leave my comment.)
Hope to see more videos/reactions of you. Peace ☮️ mate.
No she's 1 tons of major awards she'd already won Grammys by that time You need to do some research before you open your mouth and talk about stuff you don't know what you're talking about
From what I remember Taylor’s songs were already impacting pop music at the time of the MTV awards, so she was famous but not like big pop star famous. I remember thinking the Kanye thing was kind of funny but that he was a douche. When I watch it now, the mom in me goes feral thinking I would tear him up. This was one of the early awards of the night (best female video maybe?) and Beyonce went on to win the biggest award, Video of the year. Before she made her speech she invited Taylor back onstage to finish her speech. Taylor said something about how she just felt like a little country artist who was invited to hang with the cool kids that night. It’s so much sadder in retrospect
Yes to your reaction to Lover being too long! All her albums are too long (even Folklore, but it’s a beautiful cohesive project so it’s perfect). ME is such a bad song it makes me feel angry. In fact, every song she did in the studio there with that producer (aka, NOT Jack or Aaron) is just not good. His beats are boring and he somehow didn’t elevate her cheesiest instincts. Yes she has them, just like Sir Paul M. This is why Lover is such a miss of an album for me, other than a handful of brilliant songs. Like maybe 8-10 at most.
I’m enjoying the thought of getting to go into an album and just know that there are songs I get to rip apart hahaha
Just so you know lots of people like that song So maybe you don't know what you're talking about
You REALLY didn’t get a single joke in this entire video, did you?
Children's cancer research
Did you know that she doesn't own those Right It's AI generated it's not even real fire
Lol... my daughters favorite song is shake it off so yes, they definitely can have interesting taste in music. Then again she's 5 so it's cool. Better than cocomelon😊
