GUYYSSSSS!!! We are SO OVERWHELMED!! I think we can all agree that NO ONE expected her to do this to us a second time this year!!! 💀 We were so ridiculously excited and in disbelief when we woke up at 4am and realised that Taylor had announced she was dropping a folklore sister record - EVERMORE! 🍁🍂♥️ Every single song on this album is utter perfection and we can’t believe it! She has officially made it clear to the entire world that she is the most talented songwriter and storyteller in existence today. She has blessed us so hard this year! And now we are just petrified at what she’s gonna do next and when it’s going to happen. She can do ANYTHING AT ANYTIME! Thank you so much to all of you watching and especially to those who thought of us and reached out to say you were excited for our reaction as soon as this album was announced 😭 we love you guys so much and are so thankful that we have this Taylor stan community here feeling all of the things with us!!! Please comment EVERYTHING you guys are thinking - favourite songs, favourite lyrics, theories, etc!!
The crazy experimental sounds in the beginning of closure are a subtle nod to the experimental sounds in Kanye’s own producing!! I think he sent her a letter apologizing to her and asking her to help him get his masters back too (he tweeted her a while ago about that!)
Bonnie: If they ever break up, how is she gonna write a breakup song about him? Me: *stares at you're losing me* ... yeah, I think she's got it covered
... Do.... Are you trying to argue that Tolerate It is about Joe?????? Joe is not "so much older and wiser". You can't just ignore her super intentional context clues. She's said the story is inspired by the novel Rebecca. So if it was about any of her relationships, it would be about Mayer, Gyllenhaal, or most likely about Calvin Harris. Your guys can't just make shit up to suit a biased narrative. The only song on this album that could be coded as a hindsight Joe break up song is Happiness. Especially in the context of So Long London where she still wishes that he finds love in his future. She doesn't care if the man in Tolerate It is happy in his future.
@@emmavink I can see that you comment a lot on people's posts defending the "true nature" of songs, and I think that's great that you're so passionate! But I promise my comment is not that deep, nor am I “arguing” anything. It's simply saying that the girls assumed that Taylor and Joe were fine, throughout this entire album. Not just tolerate it specifically. My joke was that now that we have TTPD, maybe they weren't as fine as we thought they were. I was taking one line that they said and applying it to the information we got from this new album. Hope this helps you understand my comment!
@@ManateeGhost I understand and I mostly agree and I appreciate your insights. I just commented here because you time stamped during Tolerate It and because Emily and Bonnie still mention Tolerate It as being about Joe up until their TTPD and The Anthology reactions. I would argue that Taylor uses words extremely specifically and that ignoring context clues in the lyrics should be flagged as an issue. I am more than happy to accept that songs like Happiness (still can't fathom how this was confused for a Scott song 🙈) and Coney Island could have been pointing to things not going well for Taylor and Joe then already. Not Tolerate It though. That song is so specific to a big age gap that for me, it would be almost like arguing that Would've Could've Should've is about Harry Styles. That's just not what the song is. Hope that clears up my motivations 😊
the saddest thing about tolerate it is that she talks about leaving in the bridge, but it goes immediately back to the beginning, suggesting that she never left, cause it's a cycle.
In Coney Island she references all of her big ex’s: Jake Gyllenhaal: “were you standing in the hallway with a big cake, happy birthday” was a reference to him missing her birthday, like in “moment I knew” John Mayer: “did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray” which is a reference to “Dear John” in the line “you paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to rain” Harry Styles: “and when I got into the accident” is a reference to “Out of the woods” “remember when you hit the breaks too soon, twenty stitches in the hospital room” talking about the snowmobile accident they got in together. And Calvin Harris: “but when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” could be a reference to him not crediting her for TIWYCF which obviously became a big thing after It was announced that she helped write it and it triggered Calvin so much. I was so excited when you guys connected that, because the other reactions I saw no one else really seemed to pick it up and I thought it was so clever! :))
the calvin harris thing could also be a reference to her thanking him when she won an awards at the iheartradio 2016 awards but then he didn't thank her when he won his award
omg yes yes and we thought of Harry with the crash - out of the woods and the podium and Calvin tooooo but didn’t know if we were being ridiculous haha.... so incredible that she has done that omg I’m LOVING a dear John throw back.
Um ya, literally how can you connect lyrics so quickly to other taylor songs!!! Like I know every taylor swift song by heart and im obsessed, but I could not connect them that fast like Emily can. WOw!
So track 7 on folklore was seven, and it started with the line "Please picture me in the trees", and track 7 on evermore is happiness, which starts with the line "When I'm above the trees"
and the fact that both songs focus on the past and how taylor felt in the past and how now she's 'above' all the stuff she went through - i can'ttttttt her mind is too much
I mean like, when people said that I'll be like, what part of her music that you don't like? She did a lot of genres and re-invent herself so many times at this point. Yknow what, in my opinion when they say "I don't like Taylor Swift music" it just means "I don't like her".
i really think when the whole voice recording was released no one was paying enough attention to it if they had ...lol kim wouldnt still have her business
Its about Dianna, who just ended her marriage to Winston from Mumford and Sons. Connections everywhere. Winston even quoted cardigan lyrics as shade after. I also think Ivy explains the lead up to the separation.
Looking back on this in 2024, it seems like there were so many warning signs in their relationship. She kept giving us songs about “what if” and I feel like deep down she always knew it was coming 😥

Watching this in 2024 and hearing you say “oh this can’t be about joe!” to all of the sad songs she written….it just hits different now as we are in TTPD era💔
My thought is to give some of the TH-camrs a secret session type access to a new song or whatever so they can post their reactions when the song comes out. And maybe even do an interview with them because I feel like they’d ask better questions than most daily talk show hosts do!
I read that champagne problem was about a woman suffering from mental health problems who turns down her fiancé’s proposal because she’s broken and all about how everybody in the town stigmatizes her mental health and blames it on “champagne problems” and honestly it broke my heart and hit so different
That song is heartbreaking on so many levels, because you feel so bad for both people. So many songs try to villainize the other party in a relationship, but Taylor is so good at writing relationships where both people got hurt, and no one was to blame or at fault.
"When did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk" Haven't seen this interpreted this way yet but this is how i understand it -- you know how when you fall out of love, you begin to hate things you used to love in a person? Like, little quirks you used to find cute or adorable starts to irritate you. Nothing really changed, it's still the same smile, but you just started seeing it differently because you're feeling differently.
I also feel like it's self awareness and she's calling herself out, like how sometimes we take things in a negative light even when it's nothing personal
Also she said in an interview that "my tears ricochet" was the first song she wrote for folklore...so the fact that she wrote happiness last week really shows how much this era has helped her process her feelings about scott/big machine 😭
@@antigonem108 technically no, scooters real name is actually scott but when people say scott they're normally talking about scott borchetta, who was the original owner of big machine and managed taylors label for years. He was like family to her but he's also the one who went behind her back and sold her music to scooter 😬
These ladies were the first people I thought about when I heard the news. I was like “they are screaming their hearts out somewhere in Australia” haha! Love it guys
this is obviously late but if anyone sees this: i have never seen anyone mention this before but the beginning of Gold Rush is layered harmonies to sound enchanting and ethereal and the lyrics are about sinking ships but staring into the most beautiful eyes and not caring whats going on around you (and leading to death) which is alluding to mythological sirens who lured sailors to rough waters with their beauty and angelic voices and the sailors would die… she’s saying Joe is a siren luring her into “death” with his beauty and kind words of love for her and then it cuts to her saying “I don’t want a gold rush” so she’s talking herself out of it but then the end is the angelic part again meaning he lured her and she’s sinking.
You've just described the reason why I see parallel between gold rush and Labyrinth from Midnights. This unsure start of a relationship, trying to get yourself to trust it when everything in you is telling you in every low you hit the security will disappear in an instant. How scary it is to let yourself fall. "I hate that falling feels like flying til the bone crush"/ "you know how much I hate elevator never trusted if it rises fast , it can't last"
Timestamps for everyone who's as anxious as I was for their favorites songs to be reacted to: 00:00 - Intro 04:04 - willow 12:06 - champagne problems 19:38 - gold rush 26:22 - 'tis the damn season 30:36 - tolerate it 35:30 - no body, no crime 41:07 - happiness 52:00 - dorothea 55:45 - coney island 1:03:48 - ivy 1:10:06 - cowboy like me 1:15:02 - long story short 1:23:20 - marjorie 1:28:20 - closure 1:34:10 - evermore thank you bonny and emily for this amazing video 🧡
taylor said that happiness is actually about a friend of hers that had a long relationship and didn’t know who to be after the end of it. she said she could relate to her friends feelings, so she wrote the song.
@@chatsandreacts For years I've wondered what her band and back-up singers feel about being so close to such superior unequalled talent and personality. Does anybody ever interview them? The smiles on their faces in each and every live performance tells me they pinch themselves every day to check that they're not dreaming.
Only 16 minutes in but just wanna say the fact that Taylor spent years being criticized for writing breakup songs and now her and joe write them together just always gets me 😂😍 I love this albummmm !!!
I knew he helped with the piano before reading the credits. He has a very specific instrumental and piano melody he loves to follow. That just works so well.
WHY HAVE I NEVER WATCHED A SWIFTIE REACTION EVER BEFORE!? THIS IS FUCKING ACCURATE ALL THIS SCREAMING AND CRYING AND BREAKDOWNS! YOU GIRLS ARE MY NEW FAVORITES! THIS IS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOU WERE TOTALLY OFFENSIVE FOR 1 HR FCKIN 42 MINUTES I FELT LIKE I WATCHED A WHOLE ASS FILM HAHAHA I CANNOT
I actually think Ivy is about the relationship between Emily Dickinson and Sue Gilbert Dickinson (her best friend, lover, and unfortunately her sister-in-law) and since the song mentions the fear of the husband finding out fits into it. In fact, one of Emily's poems that is believed to be about Sue ends with the word "forevermore". Also Taylor announced evermore on December 10th which is Emily Dickinson's birthday. I just feel like there are too many comparisons for it to be a coincidence!
Dorothea feels lighthearted, but knowing it was the other perspective for tis the damn season is just...... i haven't seen anyone address it yet, but it feels like dorothea would've stayed if the guy just had the balls to tell her so. He thinks "it's ok to watch you from afar" while dorothea was waiting for him to fight for her. The lyric "remember how you watched me leave / but if it's ok with you, it's ok with me" always hit me hard. That's why i feel like Dorothea is such an underrated song, ppl always find it sweet but it hurts mannn hahahahah
yessss dorothea is like a “i’ll watch you achieve your dreams because i love you. i wish you were here with me tho” and tis’ the damn season is like a “i want to be with you but is that what you want all the time” and i haven’t heard anyone feel the same way
thank you for sharing this! omg my jaw literally dropped - i hadn‘t made that connection at all but it makes sooo much sense!!! woow…appreciate them even more now!! 💛
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!! I was also thinking illicit affairs could be about prince Charles too!! The part she sings about meeting in parking lots makes me think his scenes in the crown
marjorie is so witty and meaningful like 'never be so kind you forget to be clever, never be so clever you forget to be kind' and 'never be so polite you forget your power, never wield such power you forget to be polite' such beautiful reminders
Taylor and Joe having a argument Taylor : Ooh we should put that in a song write that down Joe: Writes it down Gets back to the argument wondering what they were arguing about Edit: thank you so much I never have gotten over 15 likes so thank you
Watching this after red TV and I just have to say "gain the weight of you then lose it" reminds me so much of "I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight"
The "random" noises in Closure represent all the discord and messiness that happened in the relationship, but with the piano comes in, it covers it up somewhat, showing her music helped her defend herself from the trash.
Yea. I think it's kind of like the piano and the words of the song represent how she thinks about it, she can see things clearly and she knows what's good for her, but the crazy sounds represent the emotion in it, and just because she understand don't mean her emotions don't get to her sometimes.
I wonder if Champagne problems relates to “Hoax” when the lyric says “I couldn’t give a reason” in hoax it’s “stood on the cliff side screaming give me a reason” I wonder if Taylor is the one screaming or one of her lovers wanting a reason from her
Its the: screeching, arm flailing, aggressive blinking and hand waving - for me LOL you girls are too funny and the literal embodiment of every Swiftie ever!!!
Your theory about Willow being Joe’s nickname gets more meaning if you note that the first song of evermore is Willow and in folklore is The 1. Willow, the 1.
On Marjorie- “Never be so polite, you forget your power” - reminds me of the sexual assault where her mom testified that she was sorry she taught her to be so polite (she thanked the DJ and his plus one for coming to the meet and greet after he assaulted her).
I always picture Tom Hiddleston proposing in front of his family and her saying no when I listen to champagne problems. Because he has sisters and from past songs we learned that Tom didn't do anything wrong, he was crazy about her, she just unfortunately fell for someone else.
In "Long Story Short" she says "I always felt I must look better in the rearview, missing me...". That totally ties in with the lyrics in "Wildest Dreams" where she wrote "say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks. Say you'll see me again...". She always felt like her actual value/beauty of character couldn't be realized by a partner until they were looking back on the relationship.
I think "closure" is about how she describes her relationship with borchetta and the big machine. The chaotic beats from the back reminds me of devastated "machines"...
I read recently if you listen to it more it sounds like the big machine sounds are trying to take over the song... like talk over/distract from Taylor’s singing... like they are trying to take over the narrative
“I feel like just in general, throughout folklore and this whole album she always manages to take something sad but also add happiness, it’s complex, nothing is like a sad song or a happy song, it has a range of emotions in it that make you feel so many different things, that just take you on that ride of what it’s really like to be in that situation”. GIRL YESSSS
My grandmother is still alive and I'm so blessed by that. She's 84 and hanging in there but it's been bumpy. She also sings opera and that song is going to hit so hard one day I'm scared of it.
I love how in long story short she says 'no more keeping score' as a cute little throwback to So it Goes when she says 'But honestly baby who's counting?... (1,2,3)' cause she doesn't have to be like that with Joe anymore they can just relax 🖤
I’m so appreciate you guys analyze every. Single. Lyrics, every bits of them. This is helpful for someone like me that English is not my first language, not only to know more about the meaning of the lyrics, meanwhile showing how mastermind Taylor is.
the exact same reason why i love reacting to people that analyze the lyrics, even the most simple ones! i take things too literal so it also helps a lot !
GUYYSSSSS!!! We are SO OVERWHELMED!! I think we can all agree that NO ONE expected her to do this to us a second time this year!!! 💀 We were so ridiculously excited and in disbelief when we woke up at 4am and realised that Taylor had announced she was dropping a folklore sister record - EVERMORE! 🍁🍂♥️

Please comment EVERYTHING you guys are thinking - favourite songs, favourite lyrics, theories, etc!!
YEAH!!! She's saved us twice 😭
I think evermore is how she felt after she found out scott was selling her albums to scooter.
The crazy experimental sounds in the beginning of closure are a subtle nod to the experimental sounds in Kanye’s own producing!! I think he sent her a letter apologizing to her and asking her to help him get his masters back too (he tweeted her a while ago about that!)
I just really love you Em and Bonny so much. That's all I can say. 😘♥️💕😍
I love that you guys only reacting to taytay😍😍😍
Tell me I’m not the only one that rewatch the reaction over and over again just to relive my first time listening evermore
o/ raise my hand!
haha yup...here I am again. Maybe my 5th time rewatching xD
nope 🤭 I rewatch this at least twice a week
I just have to watch evermore being appreciated the way it was meant to from time to time 🙌
I love coming back to this video just to experience their excitement 😂
That fact that Taylor wrote folklore and evermore just for fun and became her best works of art is scary and amazing
SCARY
scary asf omg.
Under the mega pop star has always been a talented poet at heart. Folk/Evermore was her most poetic work.
Bonnie: If they ever break up, how is she gonna write a breakup song about him?
Me: *stares at you're losing me* ... yeah, I think she's got it covered
Literally thought the same and with TTPD coming on april its gonna get worse 🤡💀
@@veroallo”So Long, London”is track 5 omgg
😭💔
*stares at ttpd*
Hahaha… 😢 💔
(I can do it with a broken heart)
Here watching again after TTPD to see how many songs we thought were about Joe might have been about Matty 🤔
"they love to have a joke between them about breaking up like LOL" THIS AGED SO BADLY 💀
It was always true that they had that between them as a joke until it was serious I guess
AND THEN SHE DID RELEASE A ‘SINGLE’ AS THE BREAK UP SONG: YOURE LOSING ME LMAO
yeah then it wasnt so funny anymore 💀💀💀
this is so funny lmao
"She always writes the most relatable songs"
Next song, No Body No Crime.
Exactly... xD
and it IS relatable too...
precisely 😂 we all relate to a little murder sometimes
No body no crime is my fab
pov it’s March 2024 and you’re here again watching one of the best reaction videos. Genuinely can’t remember how many times i’ve watched this
May 2024, post TTPD release.
@@eringudge8029same twin!
no body, no crime deserves not only a music video but a damn movie. Agree or not.
movie plsss. A movie for champagne problems, cowboy like me and ivy too while you are at it
You know the greatest films of all time were never made
T.S, 2020
A movie starring Blake lively.
Ugh agree my favorite song!!
I feel like No body, no crime was based on her close friend's, Blake Lively, movie - A Simple Favor.
32:10 “Maybe it’s just a story because it doesn’t sound like it’s about her and Joe” *Tortured Poets has entered the chat* 😂
SLAY!!!
... Do.... Are you trying to argue that Tolerate It is about Joe??????
Joe is not "so much older and wiser". You can't just ignore her super intentional context clues.
She's said the story is inspired by the novel Rebecca. So if it was about any of her relationships, it would be about Mayer, Gyllenhaal, or most likely about Calvin Harris.

the saddest thing about tolerate it is that she talks about leaving in the bridge, but it goes immediately back to the beginning, suggesting that she never left, cause it's a cycle.
holy shit
tolerate it is based on a book called rebecca by daphne du maurier! you should read it to get the full story of what tolerate it is about
Yes. It is just all in her head, but she will never leave him 😭
THE WAY THIS AGED OH MY GOD
And looking back from now?? I think she was giving us signs! or Joe signs!!
The fact that she says “That’s my man” 13 times in Willow - her mind is glorious.
OMFG. LEEME CRY
OMG I didn’t realize that. 😲😲😲
SHE DOES???? 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
She says "I knew" 13 times in cardigan
OMGGG
In Coney Island she references all of her big ex’s:
Jake Gyllenhaal: “were you standing in the hallway with a big cake, happy birthday” was a reference to him missing her birthday, like in “moment I knew”
John Mayer: “did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray” which is a reference to “Dear John” in the line “you paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to rain”
Harry Styles: “and when I got into the accident” is a reference to “Out of the woods” “remember when you hit the breaks too soon, twenty stitches in the hospital room” talking about the snowmobile accident they got in together.
And Calvin Harris: “but when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” could be a reference to him not crediting her for TIWYCF which obviously became a big thing after It was announced that she helped write it and it triggered Calvin so much.
I was so excited when you guys connected that, because the other reactions I saw no one else really seemed to pick it up and I thought it was so clever! :))
im freaking out
this is so clever. Oh my taylor is magical
Woah!!! 😍😍😍
the calvin harris thing could also be a reference to her thanking him when she won an awards at the iheartradio 2016 awards but then he didn't thank her when he won his award
omg yes yes and we thought of Harry with the crash - out of the woods and the podium and Calvin tooooo but didn’t know if we were being ridiculous haha.... so incredible that she has done that omg I’m LOVING a dear John throw back.

December: "THAT WAS AN AARON GUITAR"
hahahhahaha
this is so funny hahahahahahahah

its the fact that y'all have a PhD. in Taylor Swift Lyricism, for me
Um ya, literally how can you connect lyrics so quickly to other taylor songs!!! Like I know every taylor swift song by heart and im obsessed, but I could not connect them that fast like Emily can. WOw!
Omg where
Honestly, brb switching my grad program as we speak
this is what happens when you know all songs like they are your children
They put things in a whole new perspective
So track 7 on folklore was seven, and it started with the line "Please picture me in the trees", and track 7 on evermore is happiness, which starts with the line "When I'm above the trees"
and the fact that both songs focus on the past and how taylor felt in the past and how now she's 'above' all the stuff she went through - i can'ttttttt her mind is too much

I just wanna say that life is too short to pretend you don’t like Taylor Swift’s music.
I COMPLETELY agree!!! - Em
FACTS.
I mean like, when people said that I'll be like, what part of her music that you don't like? She did a lot of genres and re-invent herself so many times at this point. Yknow what, in my opinion when they say "I don't like Taylor Swift music" it just means "I don't like her".
i really think when the whole voice recording was released no one was paying enough attention to it if they had ...lol kim wouldnt still have her business
Yessss
Them: Taylor what will you do when you no longer have break ups to write about?
Taylor: Make my two best albums ever .
Write break up songs with William Bowery 😆
hahaha YES!!!
AOTY bestie 😌👑
4 best albums!!! She was with Joe since Reputation!!!!!!! She's SUPERIOR
Two?!?!
Cowboy like me on evermore and seven on folklore are criminally underrated gems
this
they’re like my fave
Its about Dianna, who just ended her marriage to Winston from Mumford and Sons. Connections everywhere. Winston even quoted cardigan lyrics as shade after. I also think Ivy explains the lead up to the separation.
And the link cowboys bandits and Renegade is Dianna. Shes always been the muse.
EXACTLY
EMILY'S ENERGY AT THE START IS LITERALLY ALL OF US WHEN SHE RELEASED HER ALBUM!
ME LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM at 4am 😂😂🙌🏻
I woke up on my birthday to a brand new album 😭😭
Cutest thing ever
To think we all were just expecting re-recordings and THEN SHE PULLS OUT EVERMORE 🤍✨
SO UNWELL HOW DO WE SURVIVE?? HELP
@@chatsandreacts ✨all too NOT well✨ haha
Taylor doesn't sleep 🤣
And once again, we expected re-recordings but will soon get Midnights
And in January 2024, yet again everyone was expecting a rerecord for Reputation TV, and we are getting The Tortured Poets Department!
Looking back on this in 2024, it seems like there were so many warning signs in their relationship. She kept giving us songs about “what if” and I feel like deep down she always knew it was coming 😥
She gave so many signs 😊

None of my friends like Taylor as much as I do and these videos make me feel like part of a big community that understands me 🥰

Saaaaaameeee
i'm 13 minutes in and i already know the word of the video is "offensive" opposed to folklore's "illegal".
HAHAHAHAA BOTH ARE RELEVANT TERMS TO DESCRIBE EVERY ASPECT OF THIS ALBUM 😂
superior tho
@@Scotty452 Superior is the OG
If I was Taylor I would surprise these girls with a living room concert just for them. They deserve it. They are both so charming and lovely.
THIS.
I do hope so too...hope 1 day Taylor will surprise them both!!!!!
oh but please invite a small selection of your (especially Aussie) Patrons!
My thought is to give some of the TH-camrs a secret session type access to a new song or whatever so they can post their reactions when the song comes out. And maybe even do an interview with them because I feel like they’d ask better questions than most daily talk show hosts do!
Please!!!!!!
evermore: Iconic
evermore after watching this video... SUPERIOR, ILLEGAL, OFFENSIVE AND ICONIC
I read that champagne problem was about a woman suffering from mental health problems who turns down her fiancé’s proposal because she’s broken and all about how everybody in the town stigmatizes her mental health and blames it on “champagne problems” and honestly it broke my heart and hit so different
woahhh
That song is heartbreaking on so many levels, because you feel so bad for both people. So many songs try to villainize the other party in a relationship, but Taylor is so good at writing relationships where both people got hurt, and no one was to blame or at fault.
please check my channel, I posted a cover of myself singing Champagne Problems
would mean so much:) th-cam.com/video/Tu8sXO6NLu8/w-d-xo.html
"When did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk" Haven't seen this interpreted this way yet but this is how i understand it -- you know how when you fall out of love, you begin to hate things you used to love in a person? Like, little quirks you used to find cute or adorable starts to irritate you. Nothing really changed, it's still the same smile, but you just started seeing it differently because you're feeling differently.
oooh, good catch!
damn
Yeah and a winning smile is genuine and a smirk can be seen more as dishonest
I also feel like it's self awareness and she's calling herself out, like how sometimes we take things in a negative light even when it's nothing personal
this is actually so clever!
Also she said in an interview that "my tears ricochet" was the first song she wrote for folklore...so the fact that she wrote happiness last week really shows how much this era has helped her process her feelings about scott/big machine 😭
is scott, scooter? im confused
@@antigonem108 technically no, scooters real name is actually scott but when people say scott they're normally talking about scott borchetta, who was the original owner of big machine and managed taylors label for years. He was like family to her but he's also the one who went behind her back and sold her music to scooter 😬
i love how we slowly watch night fall
Same!
superior, offensive, and illegal have become part of my everyday vernacular since finding this channel and i am not complaining
same
so superior.
HAHAHAHAHAHHA same omg I hate myself
and "f*cked up"
@@princebokuto8252 omw same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These ladies were the first people I thought about when I heard the news. I was like “they are screaming their hearts out somewhere in Australia” haha! Love it guys
that's so cute!
I don’t have any friends that are all that interested in Taylor so I’m so happy I’ve found somewhere to express my love for this freaking album😂✨
Omg same!!! People don’t understand how exhausting but exhilarating this fandom is
@@melaniem948 exactly!! And it feels so good to feel validated with your enthusiasm by other swifties. ✨
I’ll be ur friend who listened to Taylor swift 😂😂😂
Yeah honestly you swifties really made me love Taylor now she's my favorite singer
Yes. This
this is obviously late but if anyone sees this: i have never seen anyone mention this before but the beginning of Gold Rush is layered harmonies to sound enchanting and ethereal and the lyrics are about sinking ships but staring into the most beautiful eyes and not caring whats going on around you (and leading to death) which is alluding to mythological sirens who lured sailors to rough waters with their beauty and angelic voices and the sailors would die… she’s saying Joe is a siren luring her into “death” with his beauty and kind words of love for her and then it cuts to her saying “I don’t want a gold rush” so she’s talking herself out of it but then the end is the angelic part again meaning he lured her and she’s sinking.
holy shit that's genius!!!
Oh my god YES!! YOU ARE A MASTERMIND!
You've just described the reason why I see parallel between gold rush and Labyrinth from Midnights. This unsure start of a relationship, trying to get yourself to trust it when everything in you is telling you in every low you hit the security will disappear in an instant. How scary it is to let yourself fall. "I hate that falling feels like flying til the bone crush"/ "you know how much I hate elevator never trusted if it rises fast , it can't last"
This is obviously even LATER. 😂😂 But omg I never knew this!! Just wanted to let you know that you just blew my mind.
"that was an offensive guitar" "that's such an offensive bridge" "that lyric is so illegal"

Thanks!
thankyouu!💖
taylor said that happiness is actually about a friend of hers that had a long relationship and didn’t know who to be after the end of it. she said she could relate to her friends feelings, so she wrote the song.
Abigail divorce....
happiness also has so many Great Gatsby references "beautiful fool' "green light"?!
Selena ?
@@aragorn4242 it’s about divorce so most likely Abigail
@@Plainejan She just keeps airing out Abigail’s trauma, first fifteen and now this 😭
The way I’ve incorporated “so offensive” and “so illegal” into my daily vocab because of y’all
and "superior" hahah

Sameee 😂😂
MEEEEE
@@123happysunflower I literally called a crescent roll "superior" yesterday lmfao
"how is joe alive that's what I wanna know" honestly sameeeeeee
Imagine living in her presence and surviving 😭
Can’t relate 😭😭😭😭
@@chatsandreacts For years I've wondered what her band and back-up singers feel about being so close to such superior unequalled talent and personality. Does anybody ever interview them? The smiles on their faces in each and every live performance tells me they pinch themselves every day to check that they're not dreaming.
Taylor : i-
Them : **PAUSES** **STARTS SCREAMING!!!**
edit: this is just a joke 😭
Hahaha 🤣
😂😂😂
They’re so cute and I get the excitement
Me too ahaahaahahahaah
this is what we are here for. some of us don't have girlfriends like this to share our Taylor joy.
So excited for this omfg
so am I, for you.
Holy shit!
Hey bb, love your videos
Omg luke ily
“I like to think about Harry styles”
honestly same
Evermore:
"Gray November, I've been down since *July*
*Motion capture* put me in a bad light"
kim released the *edited video* on *July* 17, 2016 👀
and rep was released in Nov
Yessss I was thinking that and saw no one talking about it!
LMAO I thought “motion capture” was a reference to her being in that monstrosity “Cats” 🤡
Definitely referencing Cats.
@@alterego1121 lmfao nahh she actually just confirmed what this line is about in an interview 😆
Only 16 minutes in but just wanna say the fact that Taylor spent years being criticized for writing breakup songs and now her and joe write them together just always gets me 😂😍 I love this albummmm !!!
"if she ever breaks up, how is she going to write a break up song about him?" AND NOW WE HAVE YOU'RE LOSING ME 😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔
😭😭😭😭😭😭
And now we have So long, London
Didn't see if anyone wrote this yet but "William Bowery" is credited as the pianist of "evermore".
Holy fuck I wish i had a boyfriend that talented
I knew he helped with the piano before reading the credits. He has a very specific instrumental and piano melody he loves to follow. That just works so well.
@@blogistuff4383 I know, but I was specifically stating that he was credited as PLAYING on the track.
@@bratndahwz yea ik, I'm just saying I knew it would be him before even reading and then i saw it and was like...of course
Imagine they make another Movie for that album.
Long Story Short is reputation condensed into one song...
Omgg yess especially the first verse
No wonder this one is one of my absolute fav❤️
Came back for a listen after TTPD looking for Matty and Joe sprinkles. Bruh. ‘Tis the Damn Season????? TOLERATE IT?! Duuuuuude.
Tis the damn season! And I think gold rush and Ivy.
!! 😳
Cowboy Like Me
“No Body, No Crime” is like “before He Cheats” meets “Goodbye, Earl”. The perfect marriage of songs!
@@AllySheehan YES! I keep singing before he cheats in my mind
beautyyyy
I was just going to type this. And we know Taylor is a Dixie Chicks fan
I also immediately thought of Carrie Underwood as soon as I heard this song!
WHY HAVE I NEVER WATCHED A SWIFTIE REACTION EVER BEFORE!? THIS IS FUCKING ACCURATE ALL THIS SCREAMING AND CRYING AND BREAKDOWNS! YOU GIRLS ARE MY NEW FAVORITES! THIS IS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOU WERE TOTALLY OFFENSIVE FOR 1 HR FCKIN 42 MINUTES I FELT LIKE I WATCHED A WHOLE ASS FILM HAHAHA I CANNOT
RIGHTTT?!
ikr!
Im just here watching their reaction again hahaha
Just here watching this again because I had two exams today in law school and I need to rest and feel good now
Especially the "no body, no crime" reaction😭😭 emily plss
bonnie: if they ever breakup, how is she gonna write a breakup song about him?
taylor: *already writing You're Losing Me after evermore". 😂
YALL DONT KNOW HOW LONG I WAITED FOR THIS REACTION
Me too!! They're my best reactors
SAME
Sameeee
1 day
Oh I knoooow 🤗
Almost a year after and I still can't get over Emily going FULL SEIZURE after willow started playing
Lollllllllllllll I’m dying reading this
Emily is such a mood
fr and it’s still one of her fav songs ahhhh
"tolerate it" gives me Jake G feels, very RED in how detailed every line is.
I got Jake G vibes from parts of the album for sureeee. I agree tolerate it is connected to like not showing up to her birthday and the moment i knew
tolerated it's structure kinda sounds like dress to me
I actually think Ivy is about the relationship between Emily Dickinson and Sue Gilbert Dickinson (her best friend, lover, and unfortunately her sister-in-law) and since the song mentions the fear of the husband finding out fits into it. In fact, one of Emily's poems that is believed to be about Sue ends with the word "forevermore". Also Taylor announced evermore on December 10th which is Emily Dickinson's birthday. I just feel like there are too many comparisons for it to be a coincidence!
This is a really interesting theory! Awwwweee😭 can't wait to watch season 2 of Dickinson.
Hailee steinfeld confirmed that this song will be used in the serie, is the theory becoming true ? *_*
Dorothea feels lighthearted, but knowing it was the other perspective for tis the damn season is just...... i haven't seen anyone address it yet, but it feels like dorothea would've stayed if the guy just had the balls to tell her so. He thinks "it's ok to watch you from afar" while dorothea was waiting for him to fight for her. The lyric "remember how you watched me leave / but if it's ok with you, it's ok with me" always hit me hard. That's why i feel like Dorothea is such an underrated song, ppl always find it sweet but it hurts mannn hahahahah
yessss dorothea is like a “i’ll watch you achieve your dreams because i love you. i wish you were here with me tho” and tis’ the damn season is like a “i want to be with you but is that what you want all the time” and i haven’t heard anyone feel the same way
@@kaileem3048 ^^^
thank you for sharing this! omg my jaw literally dropped - i hadn‘t made that connection at all but it makes sooo much sense!!! woow…appreciate them even more now!! 💛
and now we have midnight rain which perfectly fits with this ttds x dorothea narrative
seeing this after she and Joe broke up :(
Tolerate it gives me “The Crown-Diana and Charles” vibes :/
YES OMG
There was an article written that tolerate it is an ode to Diana's relationship with Charles and the cheating
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!! I was also thinking illicit affairs could be about prince Charles too!! The part she sings about meeting in parking lots makes me think his scenes in the crown
In her Apple Music interview, she said it was inspired by the book, Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier!
Say it louder omg!!!
marjorie is so witty and meaningful like 'never be so kind you forget to be clever, never be so clever you forget to be kind' and 'never be so polite you forget your power, never wield such power you forget to be polite' such beautiful reminders
This is what I would imagine Taylor Swift fans would look and sound like.
I am also like this.
Hahahhahah omg me too lol
please a indian man swiftie we should be friends 😭
CAN we please talk about the fact that the beginning of “champagne problems” sounds so much like “New Year’s Day”????
Omg I thought this and haven't seen anyone else say it!
YES I thought this when I was re-listening yesterday!
YES! With a mixture of All Too Well & the 1!❤
Same!!!
First thing I thought hearing it!!
Taylor and Joe having a argument
Taylor : Ooh we should put that in a song write that down
Joe: Writes it down
Gets back to the argument wondering what they were arguing about
Edit: thank you so much I never have gotten over 15 likes so thank you
Helpiana...
Hahaha
help
Thank you for all the love ❤️
Help 💀
Watching this after red TV and I just have to say "gain the weight of you then lose it" reminds me so much of "I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight"
The "random" noises in Closure represent all the discord and messiness that happened in the relationship, but with the piano comes in, it covers it up somewhat, showing her music helped her defend herself from the trash.
Yea. I think it's kind of like the piano and the words of the song represent how she thinks about it, she can see things clearly and she knows what's good for her, but the crazy sounds represent the emotion in it, and just because she understand don't mean her emotions don't get to her sometimes.
I read somewhere that the sounds in closure purposefully sound like a machine. A big machine. 🧐
I thought it was supposed to be a “Big Machine” breaking down (her old label was called big machine)
I wonder if Champagne problems relates to “Hoax” when the lyric says “I couldn’t give a reason” in hoax it’s “stood on the cliff side screaming give me a reason” I wonder if Taylor is the one screaming or one of her lovers wanting a reason from her
yesssssssssssss
i never thought about this
Just quit my job and turned to this video for a hug, truly comforting, iconic, and sisterly 💜
Its the: screeching, arm flailing, aggressive blinking and hand waving - for me LOL you girls are too funny and the literal embodiment of every Swiftie ever!!!
Your theory about Willow being Joe’s nickname gets more meaning if you note that the first song of evermore is Willow and in folklore is The 1. Willow, the 1.
?
Woah
@@eriklrdp i'm still in confusion
@@fengbeto She is suggesting Joe is "The One" as in her one romantic partner.
YES
On Marjorie- “Never be so polite, you forget your power” - reminds me of the sexual assault where her mom testified that she was sorry she taught her to be so polite (she thanked the DJ and his plus one for coming to the meet and greet after he assaulted her).
yes 😢
Emily is my internal hype for Taylor, but Bonny is the external hype for Taylor I show to the world.
Y’all are unhinged. True swifties. I love that bc same 😂❤️
Taylor definitely makes me unhinged and I’m ok with that 😂🤷🏼♀️ - Em
I love when they say: superior, illegal and offensive 😂♥️
I feel like folklore everything was superior and this album everything was offensive hahaha i honestly feel like that captures the albums' energies!
It might be an Australian expression.
The fact that we were all just waiting for you two to wake up when it was announced 😭
Being from canada this comment is very accurate lol. I felt like I needed to wake bonnie and emily up!
Also, tolerate it IS about Joe and I cannot be convinced otherwise! 😂 and happiness!
Can we discuss that REPUTATION was FOUR albums ago 😱
i -
When Bonnie says “that song was one of my favorites” after every song 😂 (me too babe)
When Emily says no body no crime is her favorite song of all time after only hearing the first word 😂🤣😂 These are my people
@@beccamilton503 🤣 I just saw this and was literally thinking that when I just watch this over🙌😂
I always picture Tom Hiddleston proposing in front of his family and her saying no when I listen to champagne problems. Because he has sisters and from past songs we learned that Tom didn't do anything wrong, he was crazy about her, she just unfortunately fell for someone else.
i always thought champagne problems was either fictional or abt justin a selena
I think Taylor was watching Gilmore girls and romanticizes about Logan and how he proposed and Rory said no. Idk it just fits the story so well.
This aged so well after Midnight Rain???????
@@muktadixit2819 HELP
Who else is here purely for Emily's screams? 😂😂
In "Long Story Short" she says "I always felt I must look better in the rearview, missing me...". That totally ties in with the lyrics in "Wildest Dreams" where she wrote "say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks. Say you'll see me again...". She always felt like her actual value/beauty of character couldn't be realized by a partner until they were looking back on the relationship.
The fact that every lyric in happiness fits perfectly about a divorce and also about scooter it’s insane
no literally, i usually think about it being about Abigail’s divorce, but it also is so OFFENSIVE to think about Scott and Scooter too🥲
I think "closure" is about how she describes her relationship with borchetta and the big machine. The chaotic beats from the back reminds me of devastated "machines"...
yess! Like a machine breaking down
OH MY GOD! It’s the big machine falling apart!!
Ooh I love this! Though I saw another react video that said it’s a very kanye beat
I read recently if you listen to it more it sounds like the big machine sounds are trying to take over the song... like talk over/distract from Taylor’s singing... like they are trying to take over the narrative
“I feel like just in general, throughout folklore and this whole album she always manages to take something sad but also add happiness, it’s complex, nothing is like a sad song or a happy song, it has a range of emotions in it that make you feel so many different things, that just take you on that ride of what it’s really like to be in that situation”. GIRL YESSSS
The way we thought tolerate it wasn’t personal and therefore didn’t hit as hard as other track fives. Having TTPD now makes this HURT😭🫣
My grandmother is still alive and I'm so blessed by that. She's 84 and hanging in there but it's been bumpy. She also sings opera and that song is going to hit so hard one day I'm scared of it.
The amount of evermore reactions I’ve watched are insurmountable
This tweet was funny “Y’all are laughing and jack Aaron snd Justin are trapped in Taylor’s basement snd y’all are laughing”
fun fact : Taylor never met Justin in real life
Just ended a 15 year friendship on ugly terms, happiness hits different 🥺
Happiness for me symbolizes a failed friendship too .. I feel you
I love how in long story short she says 'no more keeping score' as a cute little throwback to So it Goes when she says 'But honestly baby who's counting?... (1,2,3)' cause she doesn't have to be like that with Joe anymore they can just relax 🖤
"you knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score"
-hoax
I’m so appreciate you guys analyze every. Single. Lyrics, every bits of them. This is helpful for someone like me that English is not my first language, not only to know more about the meaning of the lyrics, meanwhile showing how mastermind Taylor is.
the exact same reason why i love reacting to people that analyze the lyrics, even the most simple ones! i take things too literal so it also helps a lot !
this aged very well. you’re a mastermind
@@kennedyjonesy was just about to say that ahaha
the fact that u said taylor is a mastermind and she just released a song called Mastermind🤯🥹‼️
@@kennedyjonesy omg right???!?!?!
im sorry but watching this a year after THE break up is so funny, we were so clueless

I haven’t taken a full breath of air since she’s announced Evermore because I caaannnnn’t 😭
WHO CAN BREATHE RIGHT NOW THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO LIKE LISTEN!
27:48 It's been 4 months and I can't express enough how much this line from Emily has stuck with, it's iconic like a vine.

Ok the fact that you predicted it would be esty is SCARY
What can we say we are deeply obsessed with both Taylor and Haim 😭 - Em
the beginning in closure- sounds like a factory... are those "big machines"?
Okay????? What a great theory!!! 😭😭😭
Ohhhhhhhh 🤯
someone said it was a very Kanye instrumental and that makes sense with his whole 'i'll personally make sure taylor gets her masters back' thing
