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
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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 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.
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
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 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
@@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.
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”😂😂
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.
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 ❤️
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😁
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.
Not a swiftie fan and especially find this album too boring and bland compared to Evermore or Midnights, etc. But I do appreciate the space to talk about topics that usually don't come up in reviews of other media. There's something very heartwarming about seeing them trying to appreciate, understand and engage with something like this. There's already some asinine and downright rude comments which aren't usually found on BW vidoes but here we are. I'm glad they're taking the risk of turning off some of their usual audience away (mostly men I think).
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.
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.
Love this music reactions! Please continue! You have to react to Beyonce next: Lemonde / The Lion King: The Gift / Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé - There is so much great audiovisual content! Cheers from Argentina
I think the boys kept saying quill pen because they haven't listened to any of those type of songs, right? (Ivy, for example) And I also think the pens sometimes mix, too!
these videos are really cool! I think you would also enjoy diving into twenty one pilots and their lore honestly, there is a lot of storytelling going on there
Come back in 2 weeks for the Fearless Era!

🫶 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 🥰

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.

I love that so much 😂
I loved reading this ❤
Eric is just so free spirited , i love it
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!
The Archer and Death By A Thousand Cuts 😭
Not to mention Cornelia Street and Daylight 😭
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.

❤❤❤
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🥺
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.
Can't wait for y'all especially Eric to listen to folklore!
i can't wait until they get to taylor's super quill songs and eric loses his mind.
Same!!
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.
❤❤
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!!
SWIFTIE SATURDAY hyped for this. My favourite reactors and my favourite artist
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!
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.
Eric is so great at these reactions. Carries the video. His insights are so well balanced.
Honestly I’m hooked to these reactions my mansss
... Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.
❤
46:05 “hot damn! … I’m sorry”😂 this is why we love Eric
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.
Haha right?!
"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!!
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 😭
❤
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.
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
God i LOVE this reactions it makes me sooo happy seeing my favorite reaction channel and my favorite singer/songwriter combined
Thanks for the reaction - and I vote either "The Archer" or even a compilation of Track Fives (including bonus album 5s)
been enjoying this swifties journey
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
Yay!! I'm so excited for Calvin lol and I love these videos!
Protect Eric at all costs ❤😊
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!!!!
3:22 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☺️
Can’t wait for Evermore and Midnights!
Same ❤
And Folklore!!

@@rextitan 👀👀👀👀 gooood points
I love watching people experience Taylor Swift for the first time. This is AMAZING. I am here for SWIFTIE SATURDAYS!!
SWIFTIE SATURDAY LET'S GOOO!!!!
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 love this so much. The guys being open minded and seeing why she is so loved. And such a bad ass.
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
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 👀👀
Love this, keep them coming!!
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”😂😂
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
Sometimes I get a TS song stuck in my head, but it's just Eric reading the lyrics out in an intrigued voice 😂
loooooove having a video this long to cover these songs. Really enjoyed the analysis of the songs, and seeing them having a good time
omg I love this keep these vids coming!!!!
These reactions are so fun. You can tell how much Eric enjoys critically thinking about the songs and the lyrics
Calvin brought up lyrics I didn’t even know where in that song 🫨🫨
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.
Yall should finish with a video of all the cut songs ahha.
Also thanks eric for sharing that story. ❤
omg this and Bridgerton are my fav series of yours!
OMG YES PLEASE REACT TO THE ARCHER or just the eras tour movie
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 ❤️
Yes taylor time.❤
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.
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 🔥
I love these so much 🫶🏼
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.

OMG I forgot this was coming, I LOVE THISSSS
Fun reaction, thanks for doing this as a group!!
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.
Also, with REP, the color blue is mentioned a lot, too . . . Specifically in “gorgeous” . . . “Ocean blue eyes” . . . 😉
Not a swiftie fan and especially find this album too boring and bland compared to Evermore or Midnights, etc. But I do appreciate the space to talk about topics that usually don't come up in reviews of other media. There's something very heartwarming about seeing them trying to appreciate, understand and engage with something like this.

I'm glad they're taking the risk of turning off some of their usual audience away (mostly men I think).
You have to react to the Archer and while you guys are at it react to the whole album as well
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!!😍
you guys have no idea how much this makes me happy
React to Miss Americana so Eric can know more lore 😊😊.
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.
About the DJ he sued her because he lost his job. She counter sued for $1 and she won.
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.
Omg I love this so much 💗💗 thank you guys more reacting to Taylor ! I be waiting for every Saturday
Hahaha, the looks at "so high school"
something to look forward to when they get there lol
THE ARCHER!
22:55 reminds me of Mac millers song blue world where he says “without you it’s the colour blue”
3:16 Eric discovering the existence of the back page 😂
Loving Swiftie Saturday!
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!
Love this music reactions! Please continue! You have to react to Beyonce next: Lemonde / The Lion King: The Gift / Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé - There is so much great audiovisual content! Cheers from Argentina
Holy cow!! you are all amazing!! The whole Era?! Yes!! 🫶❤🫶
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
What a cute idea, love it
Please react to the Archer at some point!! It's so good
we NEED the Eras Tour Vlog though after all this pleaseee!!
I think the boys kept saying quill pen because they haven't listened to any of those type of songs, right? (Ivy, for example) And I also think the pens sometimes mix, too!
I agree. Once they hear the quill pen songs they’ll understand ❤️🙏🏽 but I also agree that songs could be a mixture of them.
OVER AN HOUR AHHH
Loving the editing! You can be so much faster paced when reacting to music
Does anybody know if we join their Patreon will we get the full uncut version of each song?
There is no Patreon content for this series. So you’re getting all the content right here ❤️❤️
I always thought the opened with lover because it was the first album of hers she owned
love ittt
35:11 she actually didnt expose him just got him fired he is the one who sued her for it then she countered sued for 1$
You love Beastie Boys, you played ball, you're on YT - you and Travis could be twins 😉
Omg Eric wearing TTPD merch!!!!
I mean honestly you’ve gotta react to all the albums now😂😂💖
these videos are really cool! I think you would also enjoy diving into twenty one pilots and their lore honestly, there is a lot of storytelling going on there
