Come back in 2 weeks for the Fearless Era! Missed the first Swiftie Saturday? Watch it HERE: th-cam.com/video/rBEOQHyWFQE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JitGb9RH3TCQJYLN
A former dancer of Taylor's (from wayyy back when) who is gay said in a post recently (in the past few years) that he was very nervous to introduce his boyfriend to Taylor bc he knew she was a good person but they never had a conversation about his sexuality. But when he introduced his boyfriend to Taylor, the first thing she said was: "Of course you have an attractive boyfriend" I love that so much 😂
to add more to your "the man" discussion: back in the red era, she went on a radio show and was groped by the DJ. She called it ourt and he got fired from that job. He then took HER to court to sue her over his job loss and for like $1 million. He lost and she countersued for $1 to prove a point. Overall she is such a badass.
I even feel like labeling it as groping is minimizing it. He hand his hand up the back of her skirt. That’s assault in my book and in MA you can see how it made her feel when she talks about how they believed her.
And just the whole idea people were spinning of oh you are only talking abut it because its Taylor Swift and people not realizing thats the whole problem.
Also, she didn't even call it out. She reported to his boss privately, they did an investigation and fired him based on that. Which makes it even more stupid that he sued her and not his old company over wrongful termination.
It wasn't even on a radio show, it was on a red carpet where they were posing together, and we have a photo of the moment he put his hand up her skirt. It's really just. Upsetting.
Eric lore in general got richer, I’ve never heard about his past experiences with challenging his beliefs before. I have mad respect for anyone who can look at the way things are, see how they misalign with their personal beliefs, and then choose to adjust their beliefs, rather than entrench in them. That’s hard to do.
Really enjoyed Eric talking about his move away from the religious right and unlearning systems of thought that prevented people living their authentic queer selves. It was genuinely very moving to me. As a gay woman who is has been watching their channel for years their commitment to allyship, learning and inclusion has been very much noted. Particularly in the religious/cultural context they have discussed growing up in! All the love :)
For sure! After they go see the concert they should come back and react to the movie with Eric so they can share their experiences from the show then too.
15:55 Wholesome Eric quote: "Anything you don't know is a blessing, it is an opportunity to learn." Wish more people have that mentality when it comes to things they are unfamiliar with.
Man, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Eric with music reactions is AMAZING. This needs to be something they look into making a more regular type of thing. Even if it’s once a month, just take some music, the lyrics, and someone who knows the music already with him and just go to town with analysis. This is an awesome video.
I couldn't help but laugh during cruel summer when eric said it was the best song yet and didn't even get to one of the greatest bridges every produced yet.
On the director subject, she has directed all but 1 of her music videos since this. Blake Lively is one of her long time besties and directed the video for "I Bet You Think About Me" when Red was rereleased. There have also been a couple of collabs she's done where she didn't direct the video, but those were on the other artist's album so it doesn't count.
3:22 Calvin mouthing the background vocals “o-kay!” and Carmen bopping out to this track makes me think he’s heard this one played a fair amount of times☺️
This has been the best crossover ever for me- I never expected Blind Wave to cover Taylor content! I’m loving these reactions. Eric is such a genuine reactor and watching him absorb all of this for the first time is pure joy! They continue to be the greenest of flags ❤️
"Does anyone take their Christmas lights down in December?" oh very much. When I was growing up there was one house in our neighborhood that didn't take them down until mid-january most years, and my mom judged them SO hard every year. Everyone else had them down by NYE at the latest.
4:21 that happened to my dad he was in band and the coach came to him and asked him to be on the team and gave him the same direction😂😂 “see that big guy there, he’s all yours”😂😂
Hey Calvin, old biddy here. I knew a couple of Taylor song, never listened to an album of her. Ended up going to one of the Era concert with « yougin’ ». Loved it. It’s great show even if you do not know the song/lyrics. Just soak in the experience for what it is even if you are not the target audience and have fun watching the thousands of people being happy at the same time😁
Her Quill songs are her best songs in my opinion, Folklore and Evermore and now THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY are the definition of Quill songs and they are my favourite albums
I think it's so hard to understand "the quill" until you've heard it. The guys were definitely on to something where they were assigning it to songs that made statements or felt like her more personal works.
What most people don't know and don't realize is that "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" is about american politics. She confirmed this in an interview.
But... but you can't just cut the archer like that! Bring it baaaaack! (20:34 side note, there was 100% a percy jackson reaction or something that started with Janci doing that bridge.)
It really hurt my soul that she cut The Archer. The Archer is one of my favorites 😭 but we had to stick with the set list and not overwhelm the guys with too many songs. But man, The Archer was such a loss 😭
@@dababa85 At the end of all this, there's gotta be room for an Eric reacts to the Eras tour Taylor's version on Disney. If not for anything else, just so we can bring the archer back! Edit: Oh i just looked up all the other cut songs and i am now ready to complain some more when their respective reactions come around and they're not included. Two whole folklore tracks and long live are more than i'm willing to give XD
Also, Owenn, her love interest here, was my opener at my show, and he was so great! Such an amazing dancer, singer and performer. Thought it was cool how she supported him like that.
Saw her last year in Minneapolis, and the 1st song, then merging into Cruel Summer is top 3 moments of the night for me. You’re so pumped you finally get to see her, they’re both bops, and you’re on such a high. Plus singing in a sea of Swifties is something so much more special than I ever thought it would be.
It would be so fun for Eric (and maybe some of the other crew) to react to the Eras Tour film after this series is complete!! Calvin could even compare/contrast to what he sees at the actual concert with all the new setlist changes. Could be a beast to edit, but a nice way to show Eric what a great performer Taylor is and to experience the Swiftie energy at the shows!
@@dababa85I say watch it with him after you go. So while he is seeing what the live shows look like, you all could share your experience of what it felt like with him.
What I always found interesting about the Leo comparison is, yes you can say there is a conversation about the women he dates but it has always been about the ages of the women not really about how many women.
It really warms my heart seeing two of my favorite things come together like this Blind Wave and Taylor Swift. Seeing Eric and Calvin actually enjoy listening to and watching Taylor Swift is Amazing! They are really great guys.
I think y'all could maybe cover the cut songs in their own video after all the eras. It would be a shame to not talk about songs like The Archer and Tolerate It
This is such a well thought out series. Can we give a a round of applause to Carmen and Dababa for how they planned this Eras Tour preparation! 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love the dynamics of having two fellow swifties sharing background info to the guys, but also the fresh, analytical perspective of Eric and Detective Calvin for deep dives. I know I'm getting way ahead, but just an idea for the girls for after the Eras series is complete: two versions of a song. Like a studio version vs. acoustic performance. Given how the guys were talking about how the feeling of a song can change with the way the voice is used. Dancing With Out Hands Tied studio vs Rep Tour acoustic version, Out of the Woods studio vs Grammy Museum piano version (maybe triple with 1989 Tour version), etc. It's something I haven't seen done much by other Swift reaction channels.
Oh I love this! This is so much fun. I think you could get away with reacting to all the songs that are and WERE on the setlist 👀👀Because I need Archer+Tolerate it reactions. Also, maybe you could have a poll for which songs to react to within each era fort he surprise songs.
I have a request that Miss Americana be included in the swifites saturday reactions - or at least some of the making of certain songs when we get to the reputation era! pleeeeeaaasse
Come back in 2 weeks for the Fearless Era!
Missed the first Swiftie Saturday? Watch it HERE: th-cam.com/video/rBEOQHyWFQE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JitGb9RH3TCQJYLN
🫶 This was such a great treat!! Thank you all :D
The look to each other at “so high school” 😂
👀😂
Right lol so good
The way we all made the same faces at home 🥰
A former dancer of Taylor's (from wayyy back when) who is gay said in a post recently (in the past few years) that he was very nervous to introduce his boyfriend to Taylor bc he knew she was a good person but they never had a conversation about his sexuality.
But when he introduced his boyfriend to Taylor, the first thing she said was:

I love that so much 😂
I loved reading this ❤

He then took HER to court to sue her over his job loss and for like $1 million. He lost and she countersued for $1 to prove a point. Overall she is such a badass.
I really hope they watch Miss Americana since it features that.
I even feel like labeling it as groping is minimizing it. He hand his hand up the back of her skirt. That’s assault in my book and in MA you can see how it made her feel when she talks about how they believed her.
And just the whole idea people were spinning of oh you are only talking abut it because its Taylor Swift and people not realizing thats the whole problem.

So much High School Eric lore dropped today
Eric lore in general got richer, I’ve never heard about his past experiences with challenging his beliefs before. I have mad respect for anyone who can look at the way things are, see how they misalign with their personal beliefs, and then choose to adjust their beliefs, rather than entrench in them. That’s hard to do.
Eric is just so free spirited , i love it
The Archer and Death By A Thousand Cuts 😭
Not to mention Cornelia Street and Daylight 😭
Im BEGGING y’all to make sure exile is one of the reactions!
It's gotta happen! We need to make Eric cry!
Exile isn’t on the set list 😭. Carmen and I have an idea for surprise songs and maybe … ?
@@dababa85please! Lol
Yees I agree with exile, but also to still do tolerate it even though it’s not on the set list anymore
@@dababa85y’all could even maybe use the studio session video she did with Bon Iver!
Really enjoyed Eric talking about his move away from the religious right and unlearning systems of thought that prevented people living their authentic queer selves. It was genuinely very moving to me. As a gay woman who is has been watching their channel for years their commitment to allyship, learning and inclusion has been very much noted. Particularly in the religious/cultural context they have discussed growing up in! All the love :)
❤❤❤
After completing all the eras, I really hope Eric would react to the eras tour. That would be an amazing experience!!
For sure! After they go see the concert they should come back and react to the movie with Eric so they can share their experiences from the show then too.
@@nathalierichter4796 that would slap🥺
Can't wait for y'all especially Eric to listen to folklore!
15:55 Wholesome Eric quote:
"Anything you don't know is a blessing, it is an opportunity to learn." Wish more people have that mentality when it comes to things they are unfamiliar with.
❤❤
i can't wait until they get to taylor's super quill songs and eric loses his mind.
Same!!
The Lover Era is the first set of the Eras Tour. I'm glad you're going through the songs that will be included on the set list!
SWIFTIE SATURDAY hyped for this. My favourite reactors and my favourite artist
46:05 “hot damn! … I’m sorry”😂 this is why we love Eric
Eric is so great at these reactions. Carries the video. His insights are so well balanced.
Not the Archer cut-off 😫
I know 😭😭😭
i think reacting to Miss Americana the movie before continuing with the eras tour would be a great idea! Puts a lot into perspective
I second this!!
Man, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Eric with music reactions is AMAZING. This needs to be something they look into making a more regular type of thing. Even if it’s once a month, just take some music, the lyrics, and someone who knows the music already with him and just go to town with analysis. This is an awesome video.

Haha right?!

There have also been a couple of collabs she's done where she didn't direct the video, but those were on the other artist's album so it doesn't count.
Honestly I’m hooked to these reactions my mansss
... Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.
❤
I LOVE THIS SWIFTIE SATURDAY!!! looking forward for all of your reactions to all of the eras.
Eric and Calvin are how men should think 😭
❤
These reactions are so fun. You can tell how much Eric enjoys critically thinking about the songs and the lyrics
3:22 Calvin mouthing the background vocals “o-kay!” and Carmen bopping out to this track makes me think he’s heard this one played a fair amount of times☺️
I’m new to Taylor Swift myself so this is a real treat. The more I hear and learn about her, the more I like her.
God i LOVE this reactions it makes me sooo happy seeing my favorite reaction channel and my favorite singer/songwriter combined
This has been the best crossover ever for me- I never expected Blind Wave to cover Taylor content! I’m loving these reactions. Eric is such a genuine reactor and watching him absorb all of this for the first time is pure joy! They continue to be the greenest of flags ❤️
Loving the editing! You can be so much faster paced when reacting to music and I like how you’re goin in the order of the set list! Very smart
"Does anyone take their Christmas lights down in December?" oh very much. When I was growing up there was one house in our neighborhood that didn't take them down until mid-january most years, and my mom judged them SO hard every year. Everyone else had them down by NYE at the latest.
Oh wow!!
4:21 that happened to my dad he was in band and the coach came to him and asked him to be on the team and gave him the same direction😂😂 “see that big guy there, he’s all yours”😂😂
Yay!! I'm so excited for Calvin lol and I love these videos!
I love watching people experience Taylor Swift for the first time. This is AMAZING. I am here for SWIFTIE SATURDAYS!!
Sometimes I get a TS song stuck in my head, but it's just Eric reading the lyrics out in an intrigued voice 😂
I love this so much. The guys being open minded and seeing why she is so loved. And such a bad ass.
On god we need to get Eric to the Eras Tour
I wish we could. But he doesn’t do well at concerts because of his hearing. So we’re kinda bringing the Eras tour to him ❤️
@@dababa85 eras tour film reaction after all the eras breakdown?? 👀😁
@@leire9444 Yes! My thoughts exactly! It’s on Disney plus so why not.
@@leire9444 YESSS an eras tour film reaction would be amazing!!!
We should have them rent out a local theater and put it on the big screen
been enjoying this swifties journey
Can’t wait for Evermore and Midnights!
Same ❤
And Folklore!!
@@MrChefBoyardee ❤️❤️
loooooove having a video this long to cover these songs. Really enjoyed the analysis of the songs, and seeing them having a good time
Protect Eric at all costs ❤😊
SWIFTIE SATURDAY LET'S GOOO!!!!
Thanks for the reaction - and I vote either "The Archer" or even a compilation of Track Fives (including bonus album 5s)
Once we’re done with all the eras tour setlist songs, would love to see you continue with all the songs that are cut and others as well!!!!
3:16 Eric discovering the existence of the back page 😂
Calvin brought up lyrics I didn’t even know where in that song 🫨🫨
Hey Calvin, old biddy here. I knew a couple of Taylor song, never listened to an album of her. Ended up going to one of the Era concert with « yougin’ ». Loved it. It’s great show even if you do not know the song/lyrics. Just soak in the experience for what it is even if you are not the target audience and have fun watching the thousands of people being happy at the same time😁
LOVE that the girls bring more information this time ❤❤
We’re trying ❤️ it’s a hard balance of letting them discovering the lyrics on their own and giving them background information.
@@dababa85 i think you are doing an amazing job 😊😊
@@ximevera2588 ❤️❤️
Can I just say how much I love watching Eric react to anything
Love this, keep them coming!!

This is the best thing that will happen to me twice a month this year, and I never even imagined I needed it to exist!
But... but you can't just cut the archer like that! Bring it baaaaack!

you guys have no idea how much this makes me happy
22:55 reminds me of Mac millers song blue world where he says “without you it’s the colour blue”
Hahaha, the looks at "so high school"
something to look forward to when they get there lol
Yes taylor time.❤
OMG I forgot this was coming, I LOVE THISSSS
Yall should finish with a video of all the cut songs ahha.
Also thanks eric for sharing that story. ❤
Saw her last year in Minneapolis, and the 1st song, then merging into Cruel Summer is top 3 moments of the night for me. You’re so pumped you finally get to see her, they’re both bops, and you’re on such a high. Plus singing in a sea of Swifties is something so much more special than I ever thought it would be.
So jealous of you ❤
omg this and Bridgerton are my fav series of yours!
omg I love this keep these vids coming!!!!

Loving these swiftie videos!!!😍
Omg I love this so much 💗💗 thank you guys more reacting to Taylor ! I be waiting for every Saturday
Holy cow!! you are all amazing!! The whole Era?! Yes!! 🫶❤🫶
Loving Swiftie Saturday!
Are you guys going to do a reaction to the concert movie? Please do!
Should Eric react to it while Carmen, Calvin and I go to the eras tour?
@@dababa85I say watch it with him after you go. So while he is seeing what the live shows look like, you all could share your experience of what it felt like with him.
@@mizgracie872 ooh 👀👀
As a new Swiftie, I am so excited for this.
What I always found interesting about the Leo comparison is, yes you can say there is a conversation about the women he dates but it has always been about the ages of the women not really about how many women.
It really warms my heart seeing two of my favorite things come together like this Blind Wave and Taylor Swift. Seeing Eric and Calvin actually enjoy listening to and watching Taylor Swift is Amazing! They are really great guys.
I love these so much 🫶🏼
Also, with REP, the color blue is mentioned a lot, too . . . Specifically in “gorgeous” . . . “Ocean blue eyes” . . . 😉
What a cute idea, love it
I always thought the opened with lover because it was the first album of hers she owned
i lost my voice at the eras tour singing the cruel summer bridge 😂
I think y'all could maybe cover the cut songs in their own video after all the eras. It would be a shame to not talk about songs like The Archer and Tolerate It
omg taylor swift reactions????? FUCK YEAH! we need reputation reactions
they did 3 other TS reactions before if you didn't know
We’re going in order of her set list at the Eras tour, so Reputation is coming 👀
@@dababa85 can’t wait!!😍
Guys loving the TS content 💞
You really should react to the archer tho 👁️🗨️ and YES, TAYLOR WAS SO WRONG 😂
She was!! 😭😭 the look of shock on my face when I was watching a grainy tiktok live of her first concert back, and the archer was cut 😭
@@dababa85 and tolerate it... the audacity🥲
@@paolavenuti6988 and Tolerate it was so beautifully done on stage. 😭. But man the TTPD set 👀👀 it’s 🔥
we NEED the Eras Tour Vlog though after all this pleaseee!!
This is such a well thought out series. Can we give a a round of applause to Carmen and Dababa for how they planned this Eras Tour preparation! 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️❤️ and that’s a brilliant idea!!
OMG YES PLEASE REACT TO THE ARCHER or just the eras tour movie
About the DJ he sued her because he lost his job. She counter sued for $1 and she won.
Oh I love this! This is so much fun. I think you could get away with reacting to all the songs that are and WERE on the setlist 👀👀Because I need Archer+Tolerate it reactions. Also, maybe you could have a poll for which songs to react to within each era fort he surprise songs.
I’m all here for reacting to Taylor songs!
I love this so much guys!
I love Swiftie Saturday!!
I have a request that Miss Americana be included in the swifites saturday reactions - or at least some of the making of certain songs when we get to the reputation era! pleeeeeaaasse
I think you guys should really watch Miss Americana! Even if you don’t do it for the channel, it gives you so much context
I mean honestly you’ve gotta react to all the albums now😂😂💖
I like these girls!!! Bring them back!!!
THE ARCHER!
Cant wait for rep era, my fave 🖤
love ittt
