This Reputation tour might have been the biggest, craziest show I’ve seen live. It’s hard to describe the enormity of that stage set up, not to mention the other 2 smaller stages that she flew to over the audience in a little cage. The Reputation album was definitely a departure at the time, 3 years after her hugely 80’s-pop inspired album, 1989. Taylor had been though hell and came back swinging with this darker, sexier hip hop vibe that was so surprising. A lot of people didn’t know what to make of it at the time. Ultimately, as you travel through the album you see it’s a tribute to the delicacy and insecurity of finding new love. They didn’t think she could even fill a stadium with this tour but it ended up being a massive success.
Izzy! Ive never jumped on a. reaction so fast! Taylor is so versatile and diverse. I think that's why The Eras Tour has been so successful. It takes the audience on such a ride. I saw it in Sydney Australia at the beginning of the year and was gushing about it to a friend. They said "But you've been to every type of concert there is - small venues to stadiums. How was this any different?" and I told them it was because I had never been to one concert that went from Pop to Country to Folk to Indie to EDM and back again. You inadvertently quoted a line from her latest single btw with the "It looks like she's having the time of her life." As for what she was going through at this time: Taylor got cancelled when Kim and Kanye doctored evidence of a phone call that made her look shifty. She went into hiding for a year after the whole world turned on her and she wrote Reputation. If you're willing, watch Intro + Ready For It and I Did Something Bad from this same tour - it's highly recommended viewing. Oh and thanks for the impromptu Robert Palmer performance :D
Hi Kell! Glad you're still watching! Thanks for the info. Reputation makes so much more sense as a title now. I've got quite a few more lined up first, but I will get to Intro + Ready For It after that.
Usually i don’t like when people talk alot while doing a reaction video but your analysis mixed with the insights you’ve got from personal experiences makes these reactions so much better! Keep on doing what you’re doing :)
Ah yes, you have entered into the Reputation era. After the Kanye crap where she was in a dark place because the media tried to destroy her reputation. She came out fighting with the Reputation album. Being known for sweet country/pop songs, it’s like she grew up over night and it was a huge success. Basically saying, up yours, look what you made me do! It’s often the way isn’t it? Out of hurt comes an artist’s great material. Love your reactions.👍😁🥰
There’s a reason her tour is called the Eras tour. She’s touched on many genres with her 11 albums. Reputation and Midnights are very different sounds from her country and pop roots. When you listen to her entire discography you can see a bit of each in TTPD, which again created an entirely different sound.
Taylor explores every genre. She’s a storyteller first and foremost. There’s much Taylor’ Swift lore surrounding this album. Big names went after her with doctored tapes & she disappeared for a very long time & came back with an album that incorporated all of their name calling & BS and blew them all off the map. I wouldn’t expect anything less from her. Thank you again for an introspective review. I enjoy hearing your perspective.
"What's the difference between danger and excitement?" Boy, do I have some Taylor Swift songs for you! Lol. State of Grace, Treacherous, and I Knew You Were Trouble off of Red, Sparks Fly from Speak Now, and The Way I Loved You from Fearless all deal with that theme in some way.
Taylor is at the peak of her game, excelling and doing great music, her lyrics are touching , her voice is beautiful so easy to listen to and meaningful, at the same time, this girls works so hard and so detailed she is amazing! And one smart woman! Ty for your critique!
I love her Reputation tour. Its sexy & powerful. Other great performances from it are 'Ready for it with intro', 'Vigilante shit' & 'I did something bad' to name a few. Each of her albums has a totally different vibe. She is a chameleon.
The Reputation Tour is Amazing, and shows just what a top notch performer she is. It also showcases her vocals. I'm not judt talking about her belting. Her lower register is stunning. Taylor's catalog is vast and there's something for everyone. ❤
Danger can end in hurt, whether mental or physical, but excitement ends in fun. While there are elements of danger in excitement and vice versa, the end result is different. Problem is we don't know whether it's danger or excitement until it's over.
I think you would enjoy her videos of her song writing. She has one for this song. As a song writer, I'd love to see your reaction to her process. This and Getaway Car.
yep, the songs from the reputation era (well, the album as a whole) has elements influenced by and inspired from electropop, hip-hop, and trap. it’s a fan-fave album, and it was very iconic because it was a comeback and clap back when the whole internet tried to cancel her after the Kim-Kanye drama.
Yes!!!! I’m glad to see you liked this it is different than the Taylor songs you have listened too. This is the thing about Taylor she doesn’t stick to one genre and she has such a vast love of music that she herself likes to experiment! You can’t go wrong with any of the songs from the Reputation Tour, Ready for it, Look What you Made me do, she does folk, pop, rap, rock, country, etc but if you want to see her turn one of her songs into a rock song watch We are Never Getting back together form her 1989 Tour! Or Watch False God from Saturday Night Live for some more soul to see an entirely different side to Taylor. Keep diving into her stuff and I feel like you will see why so many people appreciate a multifaceted artist like Taylor!
Yes there is I did something bad and Are you ready for it for a couple more. Also Look what you made me do. This was her first stadium tour. You hit the nail on the head with it being cathartic. Definitely true. She threw all the meanness she endured back out for the universe to handle so that she could be done with it for the time being
Love this song and your reaction. You're right about the hip-hop vibe of the reputation era. She even does a little rapping. How else would she answer her critics than her version of a battle rap?! You need to check out the Intro/Ready for it, and I Did Something Bad live from the Reputation Tour. Also it'd be interesting to see your reaction to the Look What You Made Me Do video from this era, which addresses the attack on her character (the Ready for it video is just awesome to watch). Also, for another clap-back, there's thanK you aIMe from the TTPD album. An ode to Kim K!
i really love your philosophical talks between verses :) i feel and love BIG so that's why taylor's music speaks to loudly to me but it's nice to hear others pick up on that too
Reputation has many different types of songs.. This is one of my favorite albums with the videos and the tours and the choreography. They are all amazing. The songs go from what we just watched , to where she talks about being a queen to a witch.. Then there is the King of my Heart, which is great. I could go on and on about this. Sorry it is great.❤❤❤
DAYUM, Iggy. What you spoke of was the stuff Taylor's been singing about. Many songs came out of your mouth and you don't even know it 🤣. Dang. I feel like you and Taylor would be besties lol. You get each other. Again, great stuff dude. ✌😎 - @ 5:47 - 5:56. At the end of her song "Daylight" she ends the song by saying, "I wanna be defined by the things I love. Not the things I hate. Not the things that I'm afraid of. Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. I, I just think that... you are what you love." - @ 7:17 - 7:45. When speaking about danger and excitement, in her song "That's The Way I Loved You" she sings, "But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain. And it's 2:00 a.m. and I'm cursing your name. So in love that you act insane, and that's the way I loved you. Breakin' down and coming undone, it's a roller coaster kinda rush. And I never knew I could feel that much. And that's the way I loved you." In the song he no longer is the way he was at the beginning of the relationship. He now gets along with her parents, opens the door for her, respects her space, is sensible and compliments her. BUT she misses how he used to be. I think what you're talking about is what I call the "spark" in the relationship. Some people look at the song as a toxic relationship Taylor's referring to. But I see it as the little things that one would fight and argue about and then get over it for the sake of loving your partner and making peace to keep the relationship going because you love them and would do anything to save the relationship regardless of the little differences or disagreements you might have between each other. Relationships go up and down and once in awhile hit those little bumps in the road. BUT if you become too complacent, you end up taking your partner for granted. Therefore you do need some excitement in life to keep things interesting. You know what I mean? And this is in no way me referring to those abusive and disrespectful relationships. Those people can go where the sun don't shine. I do not think that's what Taylor is referring to at all. - @ 9:51 - 10:32. In her song "State of Grace" she says, "This is a state of grace. This is the worthwhile fight. Love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right." - @ 11:02: 11:25. In reference to what you said about 'how much is too much?', in her song "Death By A Thousand Cuts", she says "My heart, my hips, my body, my love. Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch. Gave up on me like I was a bad drug. Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club....My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust. Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up. Gave you too much but it wasn't enough. But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts."
So every single person who watches anything from Reputariiom watches "into ready for it" and "I did something bad" she has a lot of hip hop sounding stuff on this album. End game as well but the music video is the one to watch for that. I love the live version of dress from that tour as well. Also if you react from those songs it needs to be from the reputation tour. Yes the reputation part of the eras tour is awesome too but nothing beats the original reputation tour.
There’s more of this kind of stuff in Reputation album. This performance is fire 🔥 her voice sounds incredible. She was in a dark place during this time frame.
14:33 no its not just a one-off thing there is More , i think you’d love reputation . Please react to “”Ready for it”” and “”Dont blame me x Look what you made me do”” from the Eras tour
So glad you watched this one! This is one of her best live performances imo. I think you'd enjoy Reputation - it's not at all what you've known her to be.
Talking about the definition of love, for me, Taylor's best song about the definition of love is You Are In Love, from the 1989 album. She spent her whole life trying to put what love is into words and I think she did it in this song. I'll let the link for the lyric video here: th-cam.com/video/M7ySK0keirY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TrCdWsFbq2wIYf5q I hope you enjoy it. 😊
Reputation is my favorite album. It's dark and twisty and really fits me most days. This was her first release after the Kanye snake situation and she was pissed.
Having seen the reputation tour film, it's driving me crazy how the video (possibly due to copyright) isn't the official one, nor are all the takes in order😂
As always love watching you react to these Izzy! Can’t wait for you to see more of reputation it was a journey! You should def read a summary of what was going on in her life when she dropped this album if you ever have the time. Thanks again:)
Yes the reputation album overall leans more heavily into her hip hop/r&b influences. I’m just now realizing this is the first you’re reacting to any of her Max Martin pop so I see why it would be surprising. 😂Some of my favorites in that more r&b vein are from Midnights, her and Jack Antonoff worked with Sounwave (Jack and him have a band called Red Hearse, he’s also one of Kendrick Lamar’s main producer) on Lavender Haze, Glitch and Karma all of which I really love.
This performance is iconic, Reputation was born after she went through some things like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian tried to cancel Taylor with an edited Tape to make Taylor seem like she lied. She also met Joe Alwyn the British actor around that time period.
This tour movie is astonishingly good. I would say it cemented this old geezer as a Swiftie. Its hard to get hold of since it came off of Netflix, but there are ways. This fan made video is weird in that it shows the chorus 2 video during chorus 1 and vice versa, which makes no sense with the lyrics, but Im probably the only person in the world bothered by that 😂😂😂. Anyway, the movie is ridiculously good, from the first second of the opening credits to the last of the closing credits with bloopers and fan shots. Highly recommend watching it with a good set of headphones turned up to 13. 😉
Oh you are in for a treat with her live performances from the Reputation tour, I also recommend King of my hearts form this tour, it's a fantastic live performance
while I love this reaction because I love reputation (the stadium tour and the album), who suggested this song for a video reaction before he even reacted to …Ready For It?? He should’ve reacted to that first imo lol.
This is from the reputation album witch is going to be her next re-release so keep an eye out, I do believe you will like this album, she will also add songs from the vault that didnt make the original album
Part of the allure of this is the transformation from her earlier style. If she had always had this edge it wouldn't be as satisfying to watch her breaking out of her shell.
Taylor would’ve been around 25-27 I think when she wrote Reputation. As others will tell you, she had a lot to unload and once again changed the sound of her music. You started with 32-34yr old Taylor, so you’re.beginning to experience it. “Ready For It”, also live from Reputation tour, is powerful as well. Another thing I love about Taylor is how intelligible she is with her singing, allowing her to convey precisely the emotion she wants us to feel. Some artists are great, but sometimes mumble (Lana) and I’m sure it’s a style choice, but I prefer when they don’t. That was a little bit of a tangent, but anyhoo, you have a lot of great performances to react to! th-cam.com/video/2QJaf6qq8jQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mCWcUuq-3o61hrbQ
@@IzzyIzenstain I’m not sure if it will be up your alley, but give it a try! Also, she writes a prologue for her albums, so you might find it interesting to read what she was thinking when creating this album. (Love copy and paste)…. Here's something I've learned about people. We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us. We know our friend in a certain light, but we don't know them the way their lover does. Just the way their lover will never know them the same way that you do as their friend. Their mother knows them differently than their roommate, who knows them differently than their colleague. Their secret admirer looks at them and sees an elaborate sunset of brilliant color and dimension and spirit and pricelessness. And yet, a stranger will pass that person and see a faceless member of the crowd, nothing more. We may hear rumors about a person and believe those things to be true. We may one day meet that person and feel foolish for believing baseless gossip. This is the first generation that will be able to look back on their entire life story documented in pictures on the internet, and together we will all discover the after-effects of that. Ultimately, we post photos online to curate what strangers think of us. But then we wake up, look in the mirror at our faces and see the cracks and scars and blemishes, and cringe. We hope someday we'll meet someone who will see that same morning face and instead see their future, their partner, their forever. Someone who will still choose us even when they see all of the sides of the story, all the angles of the kaleidoscope that is you. The point being, despite our need to simplify and generalize absolutely everyone and everything in this life, humans are intrinsically impossible to simplify. We are never just good or just bad. We are mosaics of our worst selves and our best selves, our deepest secrets and our favorite stories to tell at a dinner party, existing somewhere between our well-lit profile photo and our drivers license shot. We are all a mixture of our selfishness and generosity, loyalty and self-preservation, pragmatism and impulsiveness. I've been in the public eye since I was 15 years old. On the beautiful, lovely side of that, I've been so lucky to make music for living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people. On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me, my heartbreaks have been used as entertainment, and my songwriting has been trivialized as 'oversharing'. When this album comes out, gossip blogs will scour the lyrics for the men they can attribute to each song, as if the inspiration for music is as simple and basic as a paternity test. There will be slideshows of photos backing up each incorrect theory, because it's 2017 and if you didn't see a picture of it, it couldn't have happened right? Let me say it again, louder for those in the back…. We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them that they have chosen to show us. There will be no further explanation There will be just reputation.
15:15 hmmm….that’s a long story but I’m going to try to shorten it,so Kanye West interrupted Taylor while she was giving her speech after winning an award and said Beyonce should have won it,also he released a song later saying “he made that bitch famous” and saying Taylor agreed to the lyric but Taylor came out to say she obviously didn’t. Then Kim released doctored voice notes were Taylor is “agreeing” to it and on national snake day called Taylor a snake and it was trending number one on twitter and everyone was commenting 🐍 on Taylor’s comments and then Taylor went radio silent for a long time and everyone thought that was it for her, her reputation had never been worse …..until she posted on her story with 🐍🐍🐍 and that was the beginning of the reputation era,she then later released the look what you made me do mv which is the first single off the album and it’s so shady and amazing. I know I said I’d keep it brief so I’m sorry 😅 and also swifties please correct me if there’s anything I missed or didn’t get correctly
I’m glad you did this one over the Eras version. Both are incredible but the Eras version isn’t the entire song and the staging and everything in this one just fit perfectly. One of my fave Taylor performances of all time, even as someone who normally likes her Folky songs more
Oooo ‘is there a story’ you ask? You must know by now about the Tay/Ye/Kim drama after making up and becoming friends after the VMA stage crash drama? Him releasing that song ‘Famous’ and Kim filming the phone call between Ye and Tay with him running by his ideas for the song… Tay then slammed the song saying she did not say yes to being called a ‘bitch’ etc and then Kim released an edited video of the phone call which then lead to the #taylorswiftisoverparty hashtag being the global number one trending hashtag and then she disappeared from an appearances for a year, moved country, blacked out all media and social media and she was labelled a ‘snake’ by the world (hence the snake motifs throughout the reputation era). She then came back with this ‘reputation’ album and did no promotional work, no interviews and just put out… there will be no explanation.. only reputation.. I have only learned all of this this year so I wasn’t too involved in the action at the time and I am not even on Twitter 🤣🤣 So anyway this album is a massive difference and change in direction, energy, sound, genre to everything before it. She even raps on this album 🤣🤣🤣 it is a great album. …Are you ready for it? (That’s a name of a track but also a good question to end on lol). Sorry for the essay.. surprised nobody has answered the ‘story’ question yet 🤷♀️
The album is mainly about battling with public perception and the deeper core of the self… also embracing everything she has been called by the media and online and turning it into songwriting ammo. Watch the opening intro into …are you ready for it? From that same tour! It pretty much explains where the whole energy and concept of the album stems from
You definitely need to do the reputation era. If you do, I recommend watching her live performances. If you do, start with Intro/Ready for it then I did something bad. I don't put Taylor in a gener because I have found out she can do it all. Like her 1989 Tour she totally change her pop song We are never getting back together to a total rock punk song and she was playing the electric guitar.
Reputation is FIRE! There are a few later songs that have the same energy. You may enjoy Vigilante Shit - the lyrics video is amazing, as is the Eras Tour version.
You've got the wrong video- this one doesn't have the video synced to the lyrics- you needed to get the Netflix video- it is far superior to any other!!!!
For what it is worth, given the amount of analysis and commentary you do, you might consider playing through songs all the way once and then replay and stop to give commentary. By stopping for 3-5 minutes at a time on the first listen you miss the essence of the song as a whole and definitely get a completely disjointed song. Your videos end up not being a reaction to a song but videos of your inner monologues triggered by certain lyrics. While interesting you often really lose track of the actual song you are reacting to, caught up often in your existential thoughts. Maybe listen to the song, make some notes and then discuss. Pause only briefly for copyright and quick impressions. It is really hard to follow you through a whole reaction especially at your pace of speech in the middle of songs, even when you have things of value to say.
You will enjoy this I think. This is from Reputation which is an exceptional tour. She has many sides to her. I love this side of her.
Well said
Are you ready for it? (With Intro) HAS TO BE NEXT!
That explains the whole Reputation Era. 🐍
Got a few others lined up first, but I will get to it soon.
He should do a video on the whole Reputation Tour!❤️🥰❤️

Are You Ready For It is another one from the Reputation Tour. And I Did Something Bad. Both are fire.

Thanks for these! I've added them to my list. State of Grace sounds intriguing.
Oh ha ha is this your first reputation song? Omg!!
he's in for a wild ride with this album! i know he likes her folk style but i think he'll love reputation
You need to listen to Taylor Swift ft Kendrick Lamar Bad Blood and Taylor Swift ft Ed Sheeran and Future.@@megapintofunchargedpickles
‘Intro/Are you ready for it?’ & ‘I did something bad’ from this tour are standouts, also.
You’re my go to for Taylor Swift breakdowns.
Lovely of you to say so! Thanks!
Hindsight truly is 20/20. I wish I had been a big enough fan back then, and I would have known this tour existed.
Live in Paris, Cornelia Street and Death by a Thousand Cuts. Just her and her guitar and her voice in a smaller venue. Really good

He now gets along with her parents, opens the door for her, respects her space, is sensible and compliments her. BUT she misses how he used to be.
I think what you're talking about is what I call the "spark" in the relationship. Some people look at the song as a toxic relationship Taylor's referring to. But I see it as the little things that one would fight and argue about and then get over it for the sake of loving your partner and making peace to keep the relationship going because you love them and would do anything to save the relationship regardless of the little differences or disagreements you might have between each other. Relationships go up and down and once in awhile hit those little bumps in the road. BUT if you become too complacent, you end up taking your partner for granted. Therefore you do need some excitement in life to keep things interesting. You know what I mean? And this is in no way me referring to those abusive and disrespectful relationships. Those people can go where the sun don't shine. I do not think that's what Taylor is referring to at all.
- @ 9:51 - 10:32. In her song "State of Grace" she says, "This is a state of grace. This is the worthwhile fight. Love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right."
- @ 11:02: 11:25. In reference to what you said about 'how much is too much?', in her song "Death By A Thousand Cuts", she says "My heart, my hips, my body, my love. Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch. Gave up on me like I was a bad drug. Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club....My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust. Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up. Gave you too much but it wasn't enough. But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts."
Hi, Yvette! Cool stuff! Thanks for telling me about it! Maybe one day Taylor and I will write together.
So every single person who watches anything from Reputariiom watches "into ready for it" and "I did something bad" she has a lot of hip hop sounding stuff on this album. End game as well but the music video is the one to watch for that. I love the live version of dress from that tour as well. Also if you react from those songs it needs to be from the reputation tour. Yes the reputation part of the eras tour is awesome too but nothing beats the original reputation tour.
Thanks, Shelley! As long as I can find good quality original reputation tour videos, I will do that.
There’s more of this kind of stuff in Reputation album. This performance is fire 🔥 her voice sounds incredible. She was in a dark place during this time frame.
14:33 no its not just a one-off thing there is More , i think you’d love reputation
.
Please react to “”Ready for it”” and “”Dont blame me x Look what you made me do”” from the Eras tour
I like “look what you made me do” from Eras tour better, but you can’t beat “Ready for it + intro” from the rep tour!
The Reputation tour and record is a huge departure from her typical sound.
So glad you watched this one! This is one of her best live performances imo. I think you'd enjoy Reputation - it's not at all what you've known her to be.
Talking about the definition of love, for me, Taylor's best song about the definition of love is You Are In Love, from the 1989 album. She spent her whole life trying to put what love is into words and I think she did it in this song. I'll let the link for the lyric video here: th-cam.com/video/M7ySK0keirY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TrCdWsFbq2wIYf5q
I hope you enjoy it. 😊
Thanks, Ketlin! I'll react to that soon. It sounds very interesting.
Reputation is my favorite album. It's dark and twisty and really fits me most days. This was her first release after the Kanye snake situation and she was pissed.
She also has making of the songs on this album which are amazing
Best comeback EVER!
The Eras version of this is also really good!
Having seen the reputation tour film, it's driving me crazy how the video (possibly due to copyright) isn't the official one, nor are all the takes in order😂
Max Martin & Shellback produced this gem
As always love watching you react to these Izzy! Can’t wait for you to see more of reputation it was a journey! You should def read a summary of what was going on in her life when she dropped this album if you ever have the time. Thanks again:)
Thanks, Ana! A few of the comments have filled me in. Looking forward to checking out more of the tour!
Yes the reputation album overall leans more heavily into her hip hop/r&b influences. I’m just now realizing this is the first you’re reacting to any of her Max Martin pop so I see why it would be surprising. 😂Some of my favorites in that more r&b vein are from Midnights, her and Jack Antonoff worked with Sounwave (Jack and him have a band called Red Hearse, he’s also one of Kendrick Lamar’s main producer) on Lavender Haze, Glitch and Karma all of which I really love.
This performance is iconic, Reputation was born after she went through some things like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian tried to cancel Taylor with an edited Tape to make Taylor seem like she lied. She also met Joe Alwyn the British actor around that time period.
also, this video that EAS put out is heavly edited. They flipped first and second chorus clips and added fan footage so they avoid copyright
This tour movie is astonishingly good. I would say it cemented this old geezer as a Swiftie. Its hard to get hold of since it came off of Netflix, but there are ways. This fan made video is weird in that it shows the chorus 2 video during chorus 1 and vice versa, which makes no sense with the lyrics, but Im probably the only person in the world bothered by that 😂😂😂. Anyway, the movie is ridiculously good, from the first second of the opening credits to the last of the closing credits with bloopers and fan shots. Highly recommend watching it with a good set of headphones turned up to 13. 😉
Oh you are in for a treat with her live performances from the Reputation tour, I also recommend King of my hearts form this tour, it's a fantastic live performance
I hope that you will react to Taylors Live performances! They are so good. Her reputation,1989 and eras tours are available to watch..
More coming soon!
while I love this reaction because I love reputation (the stadium tour and the album), who suggested this song for a video reaction before he even reacted to …Ready For It??
He should’ve reacted to that first imo lol.
You should definitely react to all the Era's Tour songs from Reputation as well. The stage & the energy is just amazing! ❤
I will do!
Watch Miss Americana....a great documentary about her life before this album.
I did think about watching it, but I don't want to hear songs I may react to. But a bit further down the line I may watch it.
Please be aware that at some point, Taylor will be releasing Reputation - Taylor's Version. That will be so fabulous!
This is from the reputation album witch is going to be her next re-release so keep an eye out, I do believe you will like this album, she will also add songs from the vault that didnt make the original album
Part of the allure of this is the transformation from her earlier style. If she had always had this edge it wouldn't be as satisfying to watch her breaking out of her shell.
Taylor would’ve been around 25-27 I think when she wrote Reputation. As others will tell you, she had a lot to unload and once again changed the sound of her music. You started with 32-34yr old Taylor, so you’re.beginning to experience it. “Ready For It”, also live from Reputation tour, is powerful as well. Another thing I love about Taylor is how intelligible she is with her singing, allowing her to convey precisely the emotion she wants us to feel. Some artists are great, but sometimes mumble (Lana) and I’m sure it’s a style choice, but I prefer when they don’t. That was a little bit of a tangent, but anyhoo, you have a lot of great performances to react to!

Thanks, Carolynne! The link is helpful! I'll get to it soon.
@@IzzyIzenstain I’m not sure if it will be up your alley, but give it a try! Also, she writes a prologue for her albums, so you might find it interesting to read what she was thinking when creating this album. (Love copy and paste)….
Here's something I've learned about people.
We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us. We know our friend in a certain light, but we don't know them the way their lover does. Just the way their lover will never know them the same way that you do as their friend. Their mother knows them differently than their roommate, who knows them differently than their colleague. Their secret admirer looks at them and sees an elaborate sunset of brilliant color and dimension and spirit and pricelessness. And yet, a stranger will pass that person and see a faceless member of the crowd, nothing more. We may hear rumors about a person and believe those things to be true. We may one day meet that person and feel foolish for believing baseless gossip.
This is the first generation that will be able to look back on their entire life story documented in pictures on the internet, and together we will all discover the after-effects of that. Ultimately, we post photos online to curate what strangers think of us. But then we wake up, look in the mirror at our faces and see the cracks and scars and blemishes, and cringe. We hope someday we'll meet someone who will see that same morning face and instead see their future, their partner, their forever. Someone who will still choose us even when they see all of the sides of the story, all the angles of the kaleidoscope that is you.
The point being, despite our need to simplify and generalize absolutely everyone and everything in this life, humans are intrinsically impossible to simplify. We are never just good or just bad. We are mosaics of our worst selves and our best selves, our deepest secrets and our favorite stories to tell at a dinner party, existing somewhere between our well-lit profile photo and our drivers license shot. We are all a mixture of our selfishness and generosity, loyalty and self-preservation, pragmatism and impulsiveness. I've been in the public eye since I was 15 years old. On the beautiful, lovely side of that, I've been so lucky to make music for living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people. On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me, my heartbreaks have been used as entertainment, and my songwriting has been trivialized as 'oversharing'.
When this album comes out, gossip blogs will scour the lyrics for the men they can attribute to each song, as if the inspiration for music is as simple and basic as a paternity test. There will be slideshows of photos backing up each incorrect theory, because it's 2017 and if you didn't see a picture of it, it couldn't have happened right?
Let me say it again, louder for those in the back….
We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them that they have chosen to
show us.
There will be no further explanation
There will be just reputation.
@@carolynnewcomb2153 That's really cool! Thanks for sharing!
My 20's and 30's I walked hand in hand with excitement and danger. Now is excitement with a sprinkle of danger here and there.
15:15 hmmm….that’s a long story but I’m going to try to shorten it,so Kanye West interrupted Taylor while she was giving her speech after winning an award and said Beyonce should have won it,also he released a song later saying “he made that bitch famous” and saying Taylor agreed to the lyric but Taylor came out to say she obviously didn’t. Then Kim released doctored voice notes were Taylor is “agreeing” to it and on national snake day called Taylor a snake and it was trending number one on twitter and everyone was commenting 🐍 on Taylor’s comments and then Taylor went radio silent for a long time and everyone thought that was it for her, her reputation had never been worse …..until she posted on her story with 🐍🐍🐍 and that was the beginning of the reputation era,she then later released the look what you made me do mv which is the first single off the album and it’s so shady and amazing. I know I said I’d keep it brief so I’m sorry 😅 and also swifties please correct me if there’s anything I missed or didn’t get correctly
Thanks for filling me in, Ewa! I appreciate it. It makes more sense now.
I’m glad you did this one over the Eras version. Both are incredible but the Eras version isn’t the entire song and the staging and everything in this one just fit perfectly. One of my fave Taylor performances of all time, even as someone who normally likes her Folky songs more
I love how insightful you are!💕
Thanks, Nancy!
Oooo ‘is there a story’ you ask?
You must know by now about the Tay/Ye/Kim drama after making up and becoming friends after the VMA stage crash drama? Him releasing that song ‘Famous’ and Kim filming the phone call between Ye and Tay with him running by his ideas for the song… Tay then slammed the song saying she did not say yes to being called a ‘bitch’ etc and then Kim released an edited video of the phone call which then lead to the #taylorswiftisoverparty hashtag being the global number one trending hashtag and then she disappeared from an appearances for a year, moved country, blacked out all media and social media and she was labelled a ‘snake’ by the world (hence the snake motifs throughout the reputation era). She then came back with this ‘reputation’ album and did no promotional work, no interviews and just put out… there will be no explanation.. only reputation..
I have only learned all of this this year so I wasn’t too involved in the action at the time and I am not even on Twitter 🤣🤣
So anyway this album is a massive difference and change in direction, energy, sound, genre to everything before it. She even raps on this album 🤣🤣🤣 it is a great album. …Are you ready for it? (That’s a name of a track but also a good question to end on lol). Sorry for the essay.. surprised nobody has answered the ‘story’ question yet 🤷♀️
The album is mainly about battling with public perception and the deeper core of the self… also embracing everything she has been called by the media and online and turning it into songwriting ammo. Watch the opening intro into …are you ready for it? From that same tour! It pretty much explains where the whole energy and concept of the album stems from
Thanks for filling me in, Ani! It's mostly new news to me. It's great that she can take that and use it to create.
You definitely need to do the reputation era. If you do, I recommend watching her live performances. If you do, start with Intro/Ready for it then I did something bad. I don't put Taylor in a gener because I have found out she can do it all. Like her 1989 Tour she totally change her pop song We are never getting back together to a total rock punk song and she was playing the electric guitar.
Got a few other lined up first, but gonna do Intro/Ready after that.
@@IzzyIzenstain also you should watch her performance of Don't Blame Me on her Eras tour. Its a little more rock.
Reputation is FIRE! There are a few later songs that have the same energy. You may enjoy Vigilante Shit - the lyrics video is amazing, as is the Eras Tour version.
Anything from live in Paris and then wildest dreams from 1989 tour
Thanks, Kelly! Looking forward to checking out some of that Paris stuff.
Gospel chord progressions
“Love isn’t something you do, it’s something you are.” Mmmm hmmm
Also, living an examined life is wild. I know … 😂❤
It is! The only way out, is in!
Enjoying your channel. Taylor’s catalog is vast. Definitely check out Intro/Ready For It. Also love I Did Something Bad. 🎉 🔥 ❤
Thanks, Peggy! Gonna get to Intro/Ready For It soon(ish)
I did something bad is even better 🤯
Gonna do it soon!
Also Marjorie MV
i really like this version but i might be of the few that prefer the Eras Tour one
People are crazy, the Eras version is wayyyyy better.
I'll probably check it out at some point.
You've got the wrong video- this one doesn't have the video synced to the lyrics- you needed to get the Netflix video- it is far superior to any other!!!!
For what it is worth, given the amount of analysis and commentary you do, you might consider playing through songs all the way once and then replay and stop to give commentary. By stopping for 3-5 minutes at a time on the first listen you miss the essence of the song as a whole and definitely get a completely disjointed song. Your videos end up not being a reaction to a song but videos of your inner monologues triggered by certain lyrics. While interesting you often really lose track of the actual song you are reacting to, caught up often in your existential thoughts. Maybe listen to the song, make some notes and then discuss. Pause only briefly for copyright and quick impressions. It is really hard to follow you through a whole reaction especially at your pace of speech in the middle of songs, even when you have things of value to say.
Too much talk losing this song
Man you sound look like your sedated.
You guys need to let some of the music play before you bust in, get a little bit of rhythm going. You guys like the sound of your own voice lol
