Honestly, probably one of my favourite TS songs, the lyrics are SO GOOD, and the instrumentation is so interesting too so on both fronts it's just a high tier song for me. The live from Paris version of this song is amazing too- if you haven't reacted to it yet, the Cornelia Street live from Paris is stellar as well.
😂😂😂Yesssssssss! So happy you reacted to this song, It really is a good song, even better when it is just her and her guitar, hope you will consider listening to False God next time, Have a great day! Oh...went and checked out your song Friday night, well done!
You should watch Taylor's performance of this song in her Tiny Desk concert for PBS. Just her and her guitar, and it's brilliant. There is also a video of her performing the song live in Paris.
This is one of my favorites from this album, so good on SO many levels. It was fun to vicariously get to experience it for the first time again by watching you. :)
Taylor: "My, my, my, my..." Everyone: What's that about? Weird, but ok. Taylor's bridge: "How about that killer use of foreshadowing at the beginning to set up this genius callback here, with even a direct repeat of the beginning in the background vocals of the last line." Wtf? This is a perfectly constructed, beautifully written song, and she's a mastermind.
Taylor is so freaking tricky. The vibe is all upbeat, like “I’m doing awesome!” but the lyrics are like she (or the character) is in the depths of hell after the breakup since she has to run into that person again and again it reopens those thousand cuts again.
you should react to False God by Taylor if you haven't heard it already! it's from the same album as this song, and musically it's my favorite from the album. Love your reactions as always, hope you have a great day!
she does a nice intro to the genesis of the song in her Tiny Desk concert. Live, just her and guitar; and there is another live version from her City of Lover concert in Paris where she lets go a bit more with the audience. Interesting how she pulls it off without the synths or the background vocals.
Since you don't have a Lover playlist, I suspect you have not reacted to this one: Taylor Swift - "False God" (Live on Saturday Night Live / 2019) th-cam.com/video/kjD3LoXp-Pw/w-d-xo.html (And I really do recommend this video. The live performance is great.) And, speaking of SNL, you really ought to react to this amazing combo: Seth Meyers Gives Props to Taylor Swift for Writing Her “SNL” Monologue th-cam.com/video/Qe0Rre35xpI/w-d-xo.html Taylor Swift Monologue Song - SNL th-cam.com/video/W2twcSFYlt0/w-d-xo.html
please react to so long london and the smallest man who ever lived!! the 2nd one i think you’ll love bc it’s similar to dear john in the way that she’s coming after this man hahaha
idk why but "paper cut stings from our paper thin plans" just huuurts. i guess its the acknowledgement that as much as it hurts, its just a thin cut, nothing serious, cause your plans werent all that serious in the end either
Ya know, I’ve never played this version after to listening to the album originally. I ALWAYS play the live version of her in Paris. It’s just Taylor and her guitar and the audience and it’s…. It’s the song she originally wrote at home before she went in the studio. Here’s the link. Afterwards, the same person posted Cornelia Street which you need to hear as well. ❤ Thanks for your reactions. I love them. th-cam.com/video/rqsmrSyLTNM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cgmoO-VOhZ_kMJ7l
th-cam.com/video/rqsmrSyLTNM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6KvzxUXihIfYrhTz This is a live, more rock version that you’d probably prefer (since you kept laughing, which was confusing to me). She’s singing about her relationship slowly dying and the pain it’s causing her while you’re just laughing. Sounds like a living hell to me, tbh.
“I’ll be alright, it’s just a thousand cuts.” Love, love, love that line.
Super great reaction, my favorite line is "If the story's over, why am I still writing pages".
That is the line in the song that gets stuck in my head!!!
I've always loved this line too!
one of the best bridges that taylor ever written.
I like that you told Taylor to chill in the middle of what is widely known as one of her best bridges 😂😂😂
You’re the only creator that I’ve seen that has noticed the “*can’t* pretend it’s okay when it’s not*. I love those little details!
I adore the live in Paris version ❤
Agreed. For everyone who was craving a rock and petty version… that one is what you’ve been waiting for. It’s a vibe.
the one from the eras tour movie as well ❤

listening to this song really feels like a thousand cuts! 🤧🤧
i just love your reactions and vibe, keep up man! 🫰🏻
One of my favorites 😭😭
Please react to the live version of this in Paris. Its so much better and her voice was so good there. One of her best live performances.
Oh I don’t think it’s better, lacks the piano music
😂😂😂Yesssssssss! So happy you reacted to this song, It really is a good song, even better when it is just her and her guitar, hope you will consider listening to False God next time, Have a great day! Oh...went and checked out your song Friday night, well done!
I am seriously hoping you guys are prepping the reactions for TTPD! I cannot waittt!!!

Fun fact- Taylor said that she wrote this song after watching the movie 'Someone great'
Fun fact- The movie 'Someone great' was kind of based/inspired by the song 'clean' by Taylor Swift. A nice full circle 🙂
Ur background lights fit this spacey production perfectly 💕🫶

Everyone needs s hot minute after this one... take your time
I love how absolutely flabbergasted you are during this whole song 🤣

Fave song on Lover 😍
you should check out some of the studio stuff showing parts of her songwriting process

Really love ur reaction of Taylor Swift 😂😂
It'd been ages since I heard the studio version. On your next listen, watch the Live in Paris version on TH-cam, it's ✨
Since you don't have a Lover playlist, I suspect you have not reacted to this one:
Taylor Swift - "False God" (Live on Saturday Night Live / 2019)
th-cam.com/video/kjD3LoXp-Pw/w-d-xo.html
(And I really do recommend this video. The live performance is great.)

I agree that False God is another great one that sounds all happy but definitely isn’t.
Great suggestion
please react to so long london and the smallest man who ever lived!! the 2nd one i think you’ll love bc it’s similar to dear john in the way that she’s coming after this man hahaha
YESS!!!

I suggest Sir to listen to portals by Melanie Martinez 😀
first
🙌🏽
I hate this version. She should have made the main track acoustic bc the music is distracted
it is a reflection of the state of mind; going over little things again and again and again and again without end
@robertthompson7242 i understand, but to me it takes away from the song
I adore this version, but have you seen her performance of it from City of Lover show? It's beautiful :)
@@Bea56601 that's the version i keep on repeat all day lol
