In my opinion, the line about her friend smelling like weed or babies I feel like that is saying I have friends that took this route and then I have friends that took this route Like for example, a lot of people in their 20s and 30s have friends that are starting families and getting married and have children while some other friends are still single partying acting like youth So I think the line is in my opinion
I really don't understand why people are so upset with this line. It represents a time in your life when you look around and see a striking difference in how people in your age group are living their lives, either starting families or continuing to party. I don't think it's awkward at all.
This is directed to the haters in this comment section: These comments are disappointing. This album, lyrically and musically is I think her best album in my opinion. This album is basically like if folklorefolklore & Midnights fucked. If anyone has forgotten, those two albums won her album of the year. This is sonically cohesive, and next time at Grammys, she’s nominated for album of the year and she wins again, don’t be surprised because I looked up how and why Grammy voters vote for the album of the year and the main thing they say is that they vote for albums that are sonically cohesive. Also, the instrumentals and production are bringing back retro 70s to 80s style of music. If this style of music isn’t your cup of tea then just say that, but be respectful about it. Don’t be like “This album sucks” just because you can’t comprehend it.
To be fair Taylor and Matty have known each other since 2014, and he was asked if he would ever seriously date her and he said no it would be emasculating to date Taylor
This album is hard to get through the first few times but you become more and more obsessed with it until you just can't get it out of your head and you can't stop listening… So if you found it dull the first time… Try again it's phenomenal
Yea bro, she pissed, good on her for putting it out there & speakin her truth. Takes balls specially w/some of her fanbase. Blasting her b/c it’s “not her best wrk” like she some kind of mechanical machine used purely for their entertainment. She thinking outside the industry box and being vulnerable af. Ppl hating doesn’t diminish the depths of ttpd if anything it exposes shallowness bro. I may not love every song but I respect it period. She known for crafting her music w/purpose - if I had to take a guess I’d say the lowkey melodies, some blending into one another is to enhance the spoken word aspect of this album (poetry) 🤌🏽 I’m not even a swifty and this hate trend got me some type of way boiiii
5:20 im not sure about that it could be, but one thing that I’ve noticed is Taylor reuses a lot of pitch patterns and even cadences in her melodies. Not hating just an observation
The very first song on this album sounded like her other songs. I do worry that so much of her music is going to keep sounding the same. I think she should have played with different beats and melodies on her new album.
@@saakshishetty7786 its more of a combination of her previous sounds. Nothing really “new” in my honest opinion. I enjoyed the album though especially the 2nd half track 17-31. The first half was really spotty though and I didn’t love the production. But 2nd half🤌
If you liked Florence and the Machine on Florida you should listen to her actual albums where she can really let loose, Dance Fever is her most recent album
"the hospital" refers to a mental hospital bc the whole story of the album is that she was in a "mental asylum" bc the shit she was going through over the past 2 made her crazy. The journey of enduring a failed relationship, struggling with infidelity on both sides towards the end, going back to matty who was an on and off situationship of hers since 2014 (fresh out the slammer explains this part), to it becoming public and experiencing the same terrible backlash (but daddy i love him) as always but so much worse, then to finding out she really can't fix him and he sucks. other tracks have other meanings like clara bow is about being an it girl and how being in the spotlight i not as it seems bc all your life you will be compared to others in attempts to "replace" them. also in but daddy i love him she breaks the 4th wall and basically tells her fans to fuck off because she can make her own choices and it's so iconic it's my favorite song. i also like guilty as sin? so much bc it talks about her experience with emotional cheating and a lot of people can prolly relate especially bc at the end she asks herself if she's allowed to cry bc like she's guilty as sin yet still wrecked from her breakup. i encourage you to give these ones another listen and read the lyrics bc they're phenomenal. also the bridge of the smallest man who ever lived is so amazing if you really read the lyrics and at the end she actually says the opposite of "forgive but never forget" as she says "and i'll forget you, but i'll never forgive the smallest man who ever lived". theres so much more but if you haven't you should listen to the anthology bc the story gets even better from there and the music has completely different styles than the first half of the album
i love midnights, evermore, and folklore. thou ttpd follows the similar style and pattern with these three, it's hard for me to get through the album. i can't distinguish one song from another
You can’t tell the difference between the music of I can do it with a broken heart in Fortnite or Florida featuring Florence and the machine or down bad maybe you’re just tone deaf
Real tbh like afcourse there some that stick out but a lot of it sounds the same it’s numbing and a lot of her lyrics are good but the way it’s said it’s just sounds like everything else (I mean the same tone in multiple signs) the amount of songs it a little overwhelming as well
Oh guilty as sin is fire n hot 🔥- feelings n thoughts in her mind without even being with him - think she’s talking about thoughts about Matty when she was with Joe
56-year-old woman here...not a swifty but like Taylor fine...i didn't love it the first time I listen to it and now I'm kind of obsessed... so try it again… Down bad… I can do it with a broken heart… He only breaks your favorite toys … All catchy I can't escape them.❤
I feel like her albums lyrically are good but musically uGHH , all are starting to sound THE SAME , maybe she should publish a book of poems instead of making them into songs or get better music producers ig
Yes!! Reuse recycle style. Love Taylor, but its been downhill since Midnights for me. Quantity over quality. The one song that stood out was Florida. And even there the production was incredibly boring on most of the song.
@@jenniferzbarouskaya6543 agreed and this album doesn’t feel the it was written by a grown woman. It feels like someone in HS wrote it. The pre mature lyrics is getting old and weird atp.
I've listened to Taylor since her first album and this one... is boring and the vibe is all over the place. When I saw the Anthology release, I actually felt tortured at the prospect of listening to the other songs. 4 on the main album are just okay. I like Black Dog, and I Look in People's Windows on the Anthology, the only two out of 31 songs I care to listen to again. 🤷♀
@@Gavatron-wi9hg this album is clever and complex and this is a wonderful album. The fact that you can’t comprehend any of it from a musical standpoint, and a lyrical standpoint proves that you are stupid.
If you reacted to Taylor Swift‘s new album, expecting it to be rap because that’s your favorite genre of music then it makes sense why you would hate this album
Congratulations for being the first reaction

I could be wrong but I'm thinking florida is a metaphor for a rebound. Thanks for giving it a try!

Lights camera bitch smile - yesssss - such a banger n so relatable to any situation u gotta just put a happy face on for
Bless you, for the sneeze!
Down Bad is a banger! I was gonna be so sad if you didn’t like it!

@@AbstractMindsThinkAlike you are kidding me if you think this album sounds anything like she has done before.
@saakshishetty7786 it does. You can tell she uses the same chord progressions. This album is definitely not her best.
@@saakshishetty7786 its more of a combination of her previous sounds. Nothing really “new” in my honest opinion. I enjoyed the album though especially the 2nd half track 17-31. The first half was really spotty though and I didn’t love the production. But 2nd half🤌
@@saakshishetty7786 which I’m personally not a Swiftie I’m a Kendrick Lamar fan but Taylor doin her thing and I aint got no hate for it
Who’s afraid of little old me? - such an anthem n banger
I REALLY NEED YOU TO REACT TO HER REPUTATION ALBUM
LIVE PERFORMANCES AND MUSIC VIDEOS TOO
DEF YOUR VIBE ❤

In so long, london shes talking about joe
When she says she was in the hospital she means she was healing her broken heart
Going to the gym!!! Down bad crying at the gym!!!!!! Hahahahaha
My favorite from the album
i love midnights, evermore, and folklore. thou ttpd follows the similar style and pattern with these three, it's hard for me to get through the album. i can't distinguish one song from another
This album doesn't sound anything like Midnights or evermore. The only thing about this album is it has a little vibe of folklore but still different.
You can’t tell the difference between the music of I can do it with a broken heart in Fortnite or Florida featuring Florence and the machine or down bad maybe you’re just tone deaf
@@jadegold8339 you can only distinguish 3-4 songs out of 31 anyway. So who’s deaf again?
Real tbh like afcourse there some that stick out but a lot of it sounds the same it’s numbing and a lot of her lyrics are good but the way it’s said it’s just sounds like everything else (I mean the same tone in multiple signs) the amount of songs it a little overwhelming as well
""I rate that HEAVY" me too :P
Thanks for your reactions.
6:34 yoooo she uses alien abduction to encapsulate the message bro, yuh I fck with this one
5' 10 and I fit in children's swings. Youre thinking of baby swings? 😂
You are so funny!!! Love it
OMG Laughed soo muuch with you at that first line too XD
My friends r…..Weed n lil babies - so relatable ha
Oh guilty as sin is fire n hot 🔥- feelings n thoughts in her mind without even being with him - think she’s talking about thoughts about Matty when she was with Joe
lol that is so funny!!! The Charlie Puth part rotflmao
Bro turned into a Toronto mans when he said “ I rate dat” 😂
Best part of the video
I know i died😂😂
Give "Fly Me To The Moon" by Marcin Patrzalek a listen. It'll blow your mind.
Pretty sure she said Charlie Puth should be bitter not better
I need an honest reaction from someone who is not a swiftie cuz I didnt like it
56-year-old woman here...not a swifty but like Taylor fine...i didn't love it the first time I listen to it and now I'm kind of obsessed... so try it again… Down bad… I can do it with a broken heart… He only breaks your favorite toys … All catchy I can't escape them.❤
I tried to listen to this album, listened to a couple of songs and oh my Lord I can’t waste anymore time on this so so bland and boring.
Exactly!!! This album is so amateur it’s insane
This album was incredibly dull
Finally someone!!! And yes it wass

That is what makes her different. She doesn't play around one single genre or sound.
@@saakshishetty7786you have horrible taste in music
@saakshishetty7786 we get it your a fan this album is not good. I was bored.
This album is horrendous. As a rap fan aint know way you enjoy this 13 year old immature lyrics
What does rap have to do with this? And if this is horrendous then every single pop song out there is trash and disgusting asf.
