I love that Taylor brings on artists she loves and doesn't care if they can sing better than her. That is the sign of a true artist. The music is the most important thing.
I suggested this and I am so happy it touched you as much as it does me every time I watch it. They went straight into “Family Affair” after “Doubt”. I agree that the original song is really beautiful. My favorite albums from Mary are “Growing Pains” and “No More Drama” (of course!). I just love true artists who make meaningful music. In that, Taylor and MJ are alike. Thanks for doing this one! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve watched a couple of reactions to this vid and it blows my mind that people might not know Mary J Blige. She’s a queen. When I was growing up there was Tina, there was Whitney and there was Mary. Incredible women, they were soundtrack to so much.
Ooo, I love Mary J Blige, and I love Taylor Swift, and I looouuurve this tune. I'm a Swiftie and they are two of my favorite female artists. I lost it when this collab happened.
Oh one of my favorite collabs..love that she brought Mary J Blige on. On Mary's page, this performance is on her own page too. I hope they do a collab in the future. 😭
Taylor is fangirling over Mary J! Respectfully singing backup for her. That is an artist who enjoys REAL musicians and who has no interest in always trying to take the center of attention. That’s not Taylor. She WANTS to uplift others on her stage. There were actually 2 songs that they did that night. I love that Taylor gave such a respectful voice on stage and on the video. Mary J deserves every bit of acknowledgment that she gets. No 🧢! Taylor & Mary J =💖
I love the respect Taylor gave her by singing mainly back up and then not at all to let Mary shine. And one reason she , and the rest of us are drawn to Travis is he can be a beast on the field and he shows emotions and cries. We love Mary J.
Why tf did Travis even need to be brought into this conversation?? He wasn’t even around. He loves to be the center of attention where Taylor appreciates and respects her guests enough to let them shine. Travis is still “LOOK AT ME!” Cmon. This was an amazing show and there’s only two people who should be talked about. Sounds like you have a thing for the guy and just have to bring him in to literally every thing Taylor does. He’s done nothing to help nor promote her. She’s brought his worth up in every aspect of his life. What has he done that has helped ELEVATE her?? Being on HER stage elevated HIM. He has done NOTHING to help her in any way. It’s just so apparent that this is what’s happening and you can’t even say “Taylor and Mary J were amazing together.” PERIOD. FULL STOP.
@@gdhaney136Yes it was incredible to see his daughter receive the “22” hat and have Taylor say that she loves her. It’s beautiful to see that she’s still involved with their lives. He was a wonderful, kind and generous man.
@@NYandAZ well, good morning to you too! He seemed to feel self conscious about becoming emotional, mentioned being an alpha, and since it was a Taylor Swift video not only did her future Hall of Fame boyfriend come to mind but his brother Jason as well. I follow sports and they often get emotional on their podcast. They are giant pro footballing men who are known to shed tears easily. Taylor is proud of him and he supports her which doesn’t take anything away from the legend Mary J, so no sinister motives, just positivity was meant. Have a great day.
Aww, it's okay to get emotional! Real men aren't afraid of being fully complex humans with feelings and passions. BA, let yourself FEEL IT. Feel it in your bones. Feel it until your eyes flood because it is just that damn good and inspiring and healing. Music is for feeling.
Real men show emotions. You're more alpha to me now that I've seen the emotions swirling in you... You did better than me. I bawled and I've seen this before 😂😢😢😢 Like you, I've got so many Mary J memories.
I know you keep your reaction light, but Swifties, and you may be one now... We are there for the whole roller coaster and that has tears. I love the respect Taylor pays in how she did this,
Love me some Mary J 🩷 I’m a Swiftie, I’m 56 and I’ve listened & enjoyed ALL types of genres: hip hop, R&B, country, a capella, classical, pop, grunge + lots of others, if it’s authentic & good, I’ll rock it 🤘
55 years old. I hate when people only listen to artists they "think" they are supposed to. People need to open their minds and ears. They might be surprised.
This is just an emotional song. I love when Taylor invites all these Iconic singers to join her on stage to entertain the crowds when she's touring. Mary J will always be one of the greats.❤ Stay safe
Mary J raised me and with my love for Taylor, I can tell you, when this happened, we knew we were seeing and hearing something special. Something that may never happen again and you best believe I soaked up every ounce of it! Thank you for doing this.🫶🏻 Keep shining my guy✨
This was really cool. There is a moment in every fans life when they stop just hearing the music, and they start feeling it in their bones. Thanks for sharing this moment 😊
Taylor had a huge list of special guests for her 1989 tour, lots of unexpected ones. Mary J is one of my favorites. They continued into a second song, so you should definitely go listen to that, as well as the rest of her 1989 guest performances. ❤
I love my husband, and he's not a man of many emotions, but I never love him more than when he cries. Vulnerability is hard for some, but it's a form of honesty.
I cry every time I hear it. It was so sweet. You were like a little boy on Christmas morning. Thank you from Lake Charles to Houston. Childhood and heroes.
@@GetYaBarzUpReactions I can only imagine. Spent a lot of time there, but didn’t grow up there. Lake Charles Louisiana is closer to Houston than New Orleans. I’m your grandma’s age. The Astro World generation! 🌻
I suggested this today in the comment field of one of your reactions earlier and this Mary J one was fresh on my mind cause I love that performance so much. Glad you liked it .
Who told you that crying aint manly? I gotta tell you, men who refuse to show their emotions because they are self proclaimed alpha males, are not it my dude! Just show it. Being emotional is manly as hell.
Men who don't show emotions usually are in an unhealthy relationship with a woman. We need a man that shows his emotions for a truly happy relationship.
this reaction is making me emotional. its so beautiful to see how you connect with music, how it helped you. this song is beautiful, and i love this whole video and im so glad someone suggested it to you
OMG! I just got done chiding someone for a black male doing a reaction to a white pop artist and was upset. I asked her how she would feel for a white man to react to Beyonce. That we should open our eyes, our mind and our listening to all music regardless of race. I am an older while female who enjoys some of Kendricks music. Jay Z's Empire State of Mind is one of my very favorite songs. Love love love Beyonce. I have loved artists on all sides of the street including latin American. If a song appeals to me it appeals. Don't care. And speaking of opening the mind, I have not checked yet if you saw these videos but, Taylor does a video with Kendrick and one with Future. This is an artist that expands her genres and tastes. So many still see her as the teen singing country pop. They don't realize the lady grew up and matured as well as her music.
One more: Listening to Mary reminds me of how much so much of the music from your side of the street really speaks to me. Speaks to my soul and emotions. I love love love music from that side of the street so much
I was there this night! GenX Swiftie here, so it was an amazing moment for me. I am loving your Taylor journey! Currently binging your Taylor videos.
I bet that night was incredible 🔥🔥🔥!!!!! Thank you for watching 💯🙏🏿
I love that Taylor gave the respect to Mary and how she wanted her to shine. That's why Taylor is a class act!
I love that Taylor brings on artists she loves and doesn't care if they can sing better than her. That is the sign of a true artist. The music is the most important thing.
Nothing more manly than being strong enough to show your emotions - never doubt that.
PREACH
Perfectly said ❤
This 👏
As a Swifty and a HUGE Mary J Blige fan, LOVE this!

Thank you soooo much💯🙏🏿
Excellent advice for this duo!! Thank you! 👏🏻🥰🫶🏼
She's going to take us to church.Awsome
A real man shows his emotions
💜amen.
Don’t be afraid to show emotion my friend. It’s healing. And it’s a beautiful thing about Taylor’s music too- it makes us feel things. ❤
It makes me sad as the mother of a little boy hearing you said you’re a man so you can’t be emotional. Emotions are for humans, not just women. ❤
You should definitely check out her bringing wiz out for see you again on her 1989 tour!
I'm a Swiftie but I been rockin with MJB for AGES! ❤❤❤❤ Two Queens 👑
Men who,cry and feel are real men! Don’t ever bury that part of you
Chill bumps. Taylor was in awe......
I agree, It was dope seeing Taylor give Mary her flowers.
i grew up on mary j and taylor! (born in 92) so it was amazing seeing these two together!
Everytime i hear this song i cry, and they both sing with such emotions.
I’ve watched a couple of reactions to this vid and it blows my mind that people might not know Mary J Blige. She’s a queen. When I was growing up there was Tina, there was Whitney and there was Mary. Incredible women, they were soundtrack to so much.
Yesssss Legends 💯🙏🏿
The respect that Taylor has to sing back up and let Mary J Blige sing fully 👏🏻 Thanks you Ladies for this moment shared with us 😍🥹
Ooo, I love Mary J Blige, and I love Taylor Swift, and I looouuurve this tune. I'm a Swiftie and they are two of my favorite female artists. I lost it when this collab happened.
That song DID SOMETHING to me, man. I've never heard the whole thing. It hit me hard.
Likewise my friend, it took me to another place
Oh one of my favorite collabs..love that she brought Mary J Blige on. On Mary's page, this performance is on her own page too. I hope they do a collab in the future. 😭
Facts they need a Part 2 💯🙏🏿
@@GetYaBarzUpReactions she just needs to hurry up with that tour and end it🤣🤣🤣 and start doing more collaborations

Well said, Both created magic on that stage in that moment💯🫡
I love the respect Taylor gave her by singing mainly back up and then not at all to let Mary shine. And one reason she , and the rest of us are drawn to Travis is he can be a beast on the field and he shows emotions and cries. We love Mary J.
I think she brought Kobe out during this tour also as they were friends. Watch his interview where he praises her.
@@cfoley1014 Kobe and Taylor were friends. Taylor is still close with the family.
Why tf did Travis even need to be brought into this conversation?? He wasn’t even around. He loves to be the center of attention where Taylor appreciates and respects her guests enough to let them shine. Travis is still “LOOK AT ME!”

I agree you are correct, because I definitely felt this one😭😭
Real men show emotions. You're more alpha to me now that I've seen the emotions swirling in you...
You did better than me. I bawled and I've seen this before 😂😢😢😢
Like you, I've got so many Mary J memories.
Yeah, this one definitely pulled some of my emotional strings. It was very relatable 💯%
Mary was my favorite growing up, and Taylor is my favorite as an adult. Them together heals me ❤
I know you keep your reaction light, but Swifties, and you may be one now... We are there for the whole roller coaster and that has tears.
I love the respect Taylor pays in how she did this,
You should check out the list of Taylor's guests from her 1989 Tour, my favorite is Wiz Khalifa.

Thank you for watching and being apart of this journey 💯🙏🏿
Music touches people in many different ways. It's emotional so don't ever be ashamed to show your emotions ❤
Thank you
Real alphas show their feelings so you are good!! Mary sounded absolutely heavenly! Her voice is one of the top best of all times!

Mary J got me thru a lot, still does! She is my #1! Then Sade and Taylor has taken spot #3 recently.
All 3 are amazing 💯🙏🏿
They also sang Family Affair right after this song. It's a great one too.

More Mary to come in the future, thank you for watching 💯🙏🏿
