Of course as a huge Swiftie, I always love seeing people reacting to Taylor's music, but I specifically love your channel because it's so rare to see men hyping up a woman like this.
the "I'll get older but your lovers stay my age" line is craaaazy cos she wrote it when she was like 21/22 (about ~30 year old Jake Gyllenhaal), released it like 10 years later at age 31/32 with Red (Taylor's Version) and Jake Gyllenhaal was 42 dating a ~24 year old. Looks like she was right lmao
@@iteachlitwell the album came out a while after they dated and he continued to date younger girls so she had that perspective even then of seeing him with multiple girls her age.
@@Jellybeansatdusk He's not DiCaprio. Most of the women he has dated has been around his age or older than him. Other than Taylor, the only questionable one has been Jeanne. But they have been together for 5+ yrs, So it must be working out for them.
The part when she says "It's supposed to be fun turning 21" is quite literal. 'The Moment I Knew' is a song on Red that talks about her 21st birthday party that he didn't attend and that made her feel sad because it was an important moment of her life and she wanted him there. It is said that's one of the reasons the year later she made '22', to symbolize a different start to a whole new cycle. At least in this relationship we know that somehow she looked at it later with unbothered vibes as we know from 'I Bet You Think About Me'.
at 13:28 when you guys note how hurtful it must be for her to deliver this you are completely right. she used to cry while performing this song live. but she also said it's part of her healing process that she gets to see others connect with the song when she's performing knowing that she's not the only one who feels this way.
I'm a guy but she is in my top 3 songwriters of all time, and I barely listen to pop. I mostly listen to metal, but Taylor is different and feels so much more real than other pop stars
^and the other thing with this is that after you crumple up a piece of paper, no matter how much you try to flatten it and bring it back to “normal”, you can’t…you’ll always have those creases and you’ll never be able to fully get it back to normal after, but if you’re that paper, you don’t have a choice but to keep going despite it
and i still cannot believe grammys failed to acknowledge this song, this song is a real masterpiece and a song people would talk about to their grand children and all
shes a poet fr. when she goes "you said if we had been closer in age maybe it wouldve been fine" then later says "and i was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes ill get older but your lovers stay my age" is such a beautiful dig
This is how it should be listened to, first the original 5min and then the 10min, loved that you did it right! What would be cool is to continue the All too well story by listening to 'The moment I knew' which relates back to her 21st and then for laughs, 'I'll bet you think about me' a kind of parody of the whole situation. Love you're Taylor reactions so so so good!
Taylor also wrote this after a long writer's block. When she finally was able to sit down with her words, they all just came spilling out of her in the ten minute version before Liz Rose helped her edit it down. The "crumpled up piece of paper" has always felt to me like her words that she couldnt get quite right and she felt disposable and like she was a mess from the break up. She also repeats "I was there. I remember it all too well" which might be because he constantly tried to gaslight her. She's ensuring him that she remembers it how it actually was
She is really good at writing down words that evokes such emotion and memories! I am a 77 year old fan and whenever I hear Fifteen by Taylor, it takes me back to my high school days.Nostalgia!
Once you crumple up a piece of paper, it will never be the same again. It will always have creases and wrinkles... Therefore, love can really change you.
I love the ending of the 10 minute version of this song, cause as she says in one of the verses, he never called what they had "Love", so the ending and actually the whole song to me feels like she is trying to reassure her self that "No, I was there, i remember it all too well that it was love." Also at the end after exposing their relationship to the world in a 10 min song, she asks him "Just between us, you remember it too right?" insane lyricism, no lyric is without meaning. I could write about it for a long long time. Thank you for reacting to it! ♥
And now you’re here with us Swifties welcome! I love how you did the song without the short film because I’ve heard too many people say they couldn’t concentrate on the lyrics cause of the video. So Bravo to you! Watching you guys breakdown Taylor Swift is like Christmas crack to me so thank you 🙏🏻
Y’all HAVE TO do the short film version. Taylor actually directed it and the visuals make it feel like the first time you hear the song all over again. She’s truly a musical genius and storyteller. 💜
She really is an amazing storyteller and lyricist. I definitely felt her words along side my own story that this brings me to (which painfully parallels her experience). This song heals me a little everytime I hear it, the catharsis that comes from feeling seen. I can hear the broken pieces of her heart screaming "it was real, I was there, I remember it." Me too.
I've been a swiftie for more than half my life. I have been into her music for as long as I can remember. I have watched countless reaction videos and have waited YEARS for men to see Taylor's lyrics the way I want them to. The way you reacted to the secret/oath line was everything to me. it healed something in me. thank you for listening to her and listening to us
From what I understand, this song has been a Swiftie favorite on a global level since it appeared on her Red Album. When the 10 minute version came out on her rerecording of the Red Album, Swifties all around the world gathered in gymnasiums and large halls to respond to her All Too Well 10 minute video. She performed the 10 minute version on SNL which has never been done before that I remember.
it's so satisfying to see grown men (who are maybe around or less than jake's age when this happened) to listen to the lyrics and agree that what he did was fucked up because we all know it's not an age thing
When you guys said “it must hurt for her to deliver this song”, you’re right! It used to! She said at one of her concerts that this song was written out of catharsis and venting but then it went out into the world and we made it a collage of memories of us screaming the lyrics, showing her our diaries with the words to this song written in it or the words to this song underneath our skin and that is how we changed the song all too well for her.
Again, amazing video! You guys aren't just mindlessly listening to the song , you're hearing the story she's telling and fully taking in every word. Living for your enthusiastic reactions, that's exactly how you're supposed to react to her lyricism! Her words pack a punch lol. Also really appreciate your sense of humor, you manage to be effortlessly funny while still taking the song seriously! :)
i’ll get older but your lovers stay my age it’s actually insane accurate cause he was dating a model who’s like 25 and he’s 42 i think!! this music is a masterpiece, she’s the songwriter of the generation! hoping for more reactions soon
seven is a really special song. its on the folklore album. represents being young, innocent, carefree, all before the world can tell you what to be or what to do. one of my favorites. false god is also a really different sounding piece compared to a lot of her mainstream stuff. love your channel thanks for giving Taylor a chance, gives me a little hope for men. like ok you hate Taylor or just women with power? don't like her lyrics or just don't know how to listen and empathize with a woman, your mom sister or daughter. we are all Taylor and Taylor is us.
What I love the most is how the song shows us how it was a short relationship… it starts with leaves falling into place(fall) and it was over by the first snow fall(winter) one of the greatest songs ever!
really really love that when u guys pause the song to say something, you go back a few seconds to relisten to the whole section unbroken it's really thoughtful
I want to say thank you for reacting in an open-minded way. It's really hard to find reactions to Taylor where the reactor isn't being misogynistic or rude! Thank you ❤
YES, justice for the 'i forget about you long enough to forget why i needed to' line!! I feel like there are so many great lines that this one gets overlooked so often. Thank you for giving it the appropriate love Loving your reactions to Taylor. Your facial expressions when it's a fire line or something hits you are so epic. I love it!
All Too Well is probably her best song lyrically. It also felt so good and healing screaming this with 70,000+ swifties live. Loving the swiftie content, keep them coming!
Newly returned swiftie. I listened to her when I was younger and then recently started listening again. I think the Great War is one of the most adult and reflective songs I've heard in a long while. I hope y'all listen to that.
Love this so so much. How you guys are truly taking the time to listen and take in how superior her lyrics are. When you heard “YOU KEPT ME LIKE A SECRET BUT I KEPT YOU LIKE AN OATH” I felt that in my soullllllll
i really need y’all to do ✨anything✨ from the Reputation album, just to experience the whiplash of Taylor spitting BARS and then going back to her girly persona 😂🙌
This is the best reaction to “All too well”! I love how you guys listened to the original version first and then listening to the 10 min version. I can watch you guys react to Taylor Swift’s songs ALL DAY! This made my day! Oh my gosh❤️❤️❤️
So glad you enjoyed this song, it's considered her most fan-favorite song when it was 5 minutes but when she dropped the 10-minute version it blew us all away! So now you have to watch her 15-minute short film of this song! It explains what really happened with additional dialogue from the actors Dylan O'Brien (Maze Runner, Love and Monsters) and Sadie Sink (Stranger Things). She not only wrote all the lyrics and melody of this song, but she also wrote and directed this film (it won 4 awards). You will see why that age difference was only part of the problem. He has continued to this day to date women that are 20-22 when he's in his forties. The short film will blow you away! Looking forward to more of your Taylor reactions!
Ay I’m actually loving seeing you guys vibe out to Taylor’s music she’s honestly one of the best lyricist in music today. Y’all gotta watch the short film, hits you like a freaking truck
My favorite thing about this is your comment on how HE should not have been dating someone so young. I just got out of a situationship with a man much older than myself that ended with him SA'ing me and trying to unalive me. Some people are blaming me and it's been really difficult. It's so nice to hear two men placing the responsibility on the person who is actually at fault. I really love your videos, your deep-dives into her lyrics, etc. I consider myself a Swiftie but I feel I come away from your videos with a deeper understanding of her lyrics. Please keep up with your amazing work!
My absolute favourite thing about Taylor is how she perfectly puts into words feelings, moments and experiences we’ve all had and struggled to explain. She somehow makes it all make sense. A true lyrical genius
I love so much your reactions, it’s not normal to see men reacting to Taylor, there’s so much prejudice around her that normally she’s judged just because of who she is, and her music is fire, so me as a fan I’m really glad you that you guys listen and appreciate her and her music. Thank you!
I'm watching you guys going crazy about the 5 minute lyric and nearly snort laughing at how you are going to FREAK OUT about the 10 minute version lyrics. Taylor hits HARD!!!!
I really enjoy your reactions. The lyric video of the long version is good but the short film that she directed of this song is way worth watching. Btw, Gyllenhaal was 31, she was 20
It’s always a joy to see first time listeners get what Taylor’s all about. More than the persona, the boys, the affairs is just raw songwriting. So descriptive and captures what she went through. As a listener, it’s amazing
It's so mindblowing how this song transformed into what it is known today (one of her best written by far). She told us she and her band were just jamming during rehearsal (speak now tour prob) and she sang this raw for 10-15 mins straight. THANKFULLY the sound guy that day got it all on record and gave it to Mama Swift. The thought of her blurting out those words and expressing those emotions during that jam session makes me realize how truly hurt she must have been by this specific breakup. :(
Love y’all’s reaction. “Don’t Blame Me” from reputation tour and “Wildest Dreams”, “Out Of The Woods” and “We Are Never Getting Back Together” from her 1989 tour are all worth watching. No one puts on a performance like Taylor!
what u said about wishing you'd known this song earlier is so real because personally i suck at explaining how i feel or even figuring it out and it helps so much to listen to her and see what you're trying to heal from reflected in those lyrics, it's like therapy fr
It used to be a hurtful song for her to sing years ago when it first came out(old videos you can see the emotion) but fans loved this song so much over the years that she now only thinks of her fans when she sings it and she loves to sing it now cuz its for the fans
At 2:15 you guys are like "this might be my favorite one so far" and I'm like "who is going to tell them to wait until you listen to the 10 minute version?"
Just got your Channel suggested and immediately watched all your videos after seeing one. You are doing such a great job reacting to Taylor's music and her lyrics. It's amazing. Love how you really go into the lyrics and your humor. Please keep on doing. Can't wait to see more!
I watched all the reaction videos you have here in one sitting and I love the way you guys pay attention to the lyrics and take the time to process them out loud. I know y’all have been reviewing her sadder songs on YT but as others have recommended, reputation would be a great album to review. I highly recommend Getaway Car since those lyrics GO HARD. Cruel Summer from the Lover album is also a fan favorite
The scarf represents her virginity, she confirmed it after the premiere of the short film. However, there was a scarf that she wore while they were pictured together and then there was a picture of him wearing it after the breakup.
Hey guys! I really enjoy watching your reactions. I’ve definitely followed you guys before and your appreciation and enthusiasm for great lyrics, vocals and instrumentals is so infectious. I’m sure you’ll get a long list of songs that you should react to next but just to wrap this particular story up, and the visuals that you’ve tapped into, I’d recommend watching the All Too Well Short Film. Taylor directed it and even won an award for the short film category. And it is so well deserved. It’s crazy how such a heart wrenching song could create such a beautiful visual masterpiece. But she’s like that. Thanks again for this reaction!! ❤️
I always feel like the “crumpled up piece of paper” line denotes being permanently marked in two ways. 1) what you wrote is still there, you can’t take away the memories, but also 2) once that paper is crumpled there’s no making it perfectly flat again no matter how hard you try, just like the scars from a being treated like crap by a lover tend to stick around and affect future relationships whether we want them to or not.
this truly is one of my favourites from her, I think its safe to say many swifties agree. I want to point out, how crazy it is to have a breakup with someone, and they write a 5 minute song about you. you'd be like damn okay I hear you, but at least thats over. Then they come back with the "nah I got more to say" and then make a 10 MINUTE SONG about you???? If I was Jake I would be quaking in my boots
"Why ya keep doing this to us?". Because you seem to appreciate gut wrenching stories!! I hope you keep up the reactions cuz Taylor has 10 albums filled with all the feels - tho this one is one of my favourites. Please keep the reactions coming. Love you both!
Yall got it so right before the 6:00 mark im balling my eyes out. Its rare to see men understand it let alone explain how she feels in the song and how it makes us feel. 💙💙💙
This clinched it-I’m subscribing. I can’t miss this journey. I want to suggest songs, but I know I would end up suggesting way too many… “Best Day” (definitely the music video version is my fav, but lyric video is great, too), “The Archer” (best version is the live performance imo)…”seven” (best version is Long Pond Studio)…”It’s Nice to Have a Friend”… I feel like those are underrated, personally. I never see people recommending them, but I love them. If you want something faster paced, maybe “Cruel Summer” or “Getaway Car”? I love that Getaway Car works as a metaphor AND works if you take totally literally. Just like “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince”. I genuinely don’t know how she does it.
"Her pen might as well be a katana" best and most accurate description ever of Taylor ahah
YES!! I loved that so much!!
This should def be on their merch
💙💙💙
Yes, because every verse just hits deep and hurts
Imagine her putting that line in ts11’s very own vigilante sh*t type of song
“SHE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS” when I tell you I cackled at this 😂
I did too! Love these guys 😅
So funny!!!! I love watching them
Same 😂 these 2 guys are my new fav
I laughed out loud😂
Of course as a huge Swiftie, I always love seeing people reacting to Taylor's music, but I specifically love your channel because it's so rare to see men hyping up a woman like this.
And not make one sexist joke or disparaging comment while they do it 👏🏼👏🏼
I feel like they are trying so hard to understand it too! It’s not just some pop sh*t to them
Yes!!! They get so excited about her music and not making any sexist remarks
Yessssss I completely agree!!
exactly!
the "I'll get older but your lovers stay my age" line is craaaazy cos she wrote it when she was like 21/22 (about ~30 year old Jake Gyllenhaal), released it like 10 years later at age 31/32 with Red (Taylor's Version) and Jake Gyllenhaal was 42 dating a ~24 year old. Looks like she was right lmao
Oooor she edited this line later. (Which is fine.)
@@iteachlitwell the album came out a while after they dated and he continued to date younger girls so she had that perspective even then of seeing him with multiple girls her age.
@@Jellybeansatdusk He's not DiCaprio. Most of the women he has dated has been around his age or older than him. Other than Taylor, the only questionable one has been Jeanne. But they have been together for 5+ yrs, So it must be working out for them.
He's so gross for that
WOW
The visuals on the short film of this that she directed makes the song hit 10x harder please keep the reactions coming for us swifties🥳
Agreed got to do the short film. Look for those deeper hidden gems she has buried everywhere.
Yessss extra plus one for this!
True but I love that they did checked the lyrics first since they video tends to snag one’s attention
yeesss
yes yes yes!! need a reaction to the short film
The part when she says "It's supposed to be fun turning 21" is quite literal. 'The Moment I Knew' is a song on Red that talks about her 21st birthday party that he didn't attend and that made her feel sad because it was an important moment of her life and she wanted him there.

At least in this relationship we know that somehow she looked at it later with unbothered vibes as we know from 'I Bet You Think About Me'.
they have to listen to the moment i knew!!
the moment i knew is my favorite song on red (taylor’s version or not). it’s SO good.
Omg yes the moment I knew it’s a freaking bop and the storytelling is crazy crazy
and the fact that 22 is right after all too well on the album
at 13:28 when you guys note how hurtful it must be for her to deliver this you are completely right. she used to cry while performing this song live. but she also said it's part of her healing process that she gets to see others connect with the song when she's performing knowing that she's not the only one who feels this way.
We helped her heal through and give a new meaning to this song ❤ Now we're the ones crying 😭
Watching men discover and appreciate Taylor gives my brain the dopamine that my addarall never could
PREACH
I'm a guy but she is in my top 3 songwriters of all time, and I barely listen to pop. I mostly listen to metal, but Taylor is different and feels so much more real than other pop stars
@@lightningmonky7674sir, personally, i love u
@@lightningmonky7674 same her lyrics feels like she's writing a diary
These two dude-bro’s losing it over the pen game together brings me so much joy. I don’t even care how genuine it is lol it makes me happy
"This is rap" I completely agree.
What I would give for a TS- Eminem collaboration (she loves him).
Y’all. He used her, an innocent blank page, then just crumbled her up and tossed her on the floor. He was reckless with her and she felt used up
^and the other thing with this is that after you crumple up a piece of paper, no matter how much you try to flatten it and bring it back to “normal”, you can’t…you’ll always have those creases and you’ll never be able to fully get it back to normal after, but if you’re that paper, you don’t have a choice but to keep going despite it
@@coreyissusTHAT PART RIGHT THERE

shes a poet fr. when she goes "you said if we had been closer in age maybe it wouldve been fine" then later says "and i was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes ill get older but your lovers stay my age" is such a beautiful dig
She is a true poet. Her talent for opening all of us up and pouring in some healing is some kind of magic.
"she can't keep getting away with this" is SENDING ME
You guys should definitely check out her live performances of "Ready For It", "I Did Something Bad" and 'Don't Blame Me' from her Reputation🐍 tour!!!!
YES YES YES
Yassssssss literally just commented that jajajaja. REP STAN FOR LIFE!!!
This the one!! They gotta do that performance 🤞🏻
NEEED AMAs performance of "I Did Something Bad"
yesssss
This is how it should be listened to, first the original 5min and then the 10min, loved that you did it right! What would be cool is to continue the All too well story by listening to 'The moment I knew' which relates back to her 21st and then for laughs, 'I'll bet you think about me' a kind of parody of the whole situation. Love you're Taylor reactions so so so good!
Also Begin Again which is beautiful and you would love...I'd add that in before I bet you think about me.
Came here to say this!!
Not these men recognising how painful it must be for her to deliver this, to record it and sing it live. To relive all the hurt. 😭
Taylor also wrote this after a long writer's block. When she finally was able to sit down with her words, they all just came spilling out of her in the ten minute version before Liz Rose helped her edit it down.

Yeah, It’s definitely about gaslight. “I’m in a new hell every time you double cross my mind”
Not going to lie I totally wish these two could go and see her at the Eras show. Could you imagine their reactions to it?!?
they would lose their damn minds
She is really good at writing down words that evokes such emotion and memories! I am a 77 year old fan and whenever I hear Fifteen by Taylor, it takes me back to my high school days.Nostalgia!
Ya’ll need to watch her SNL performance of this song. It was the first time she sang the 10-minute version live and it was viciously delicious.
Once you crumple up a piece of paper, it will never be the same again. It will always have creases and wrinkles...
Therefore, love can really change you.
It’s so freaking sad when you say it like that 😭😭😭

The “twin flames” line is so good because it means soulmates but it can also be referring to their fire zodiac signs

her Lyricism is untouchable and out of this world❤
so glad you guys listened to her best song ever! the 10min version is just a masterpiece, incomparable to anything.. just so many layers!

This series should continue, I'm sitting with popcorn
A crumbled up piece of paper can never be smoothed out. Never to be the same again. Always broken or torn. That line is pure perfection!
Newly returned swiftie. I listened to her when I was younger and then recently started listening again. I think the Great War is one of the most adult and reflective songs I've heard in a long while. I hope y'all listen to that.
“Why are yall doing this to us?” The cackle I made scared my cats. ❤❤❤ love love love
The amount of times I've returned to this reaction is crazy 🥲
Love this so so much. How you guys are truly taking the time to listen and take in how superior her lyrics are. When you heard “YOU KEPT ME LIKE A SECRET BUT I KEPT YOU LIKE AN OATH” I felt that in my soullllllll

My favorite thing about this is your comment on how HE should not have been dating someone so young.
I just got out of a situationship with a man much older than myself that ended with him SA'ing me and trying to unalive me. Some people are blaming me and it's been really difficult. It's so nice to hear two men placing the responsibility on the person who is actually at fault.
I really love your videos, your deep-dives into her lyrics, etc. I consider myself a Swiftie but I feel I come away from your videos with a deeper understanding of her lyrics. Please keep up with your amazing work!
Not gonna lie the amount of times I looked at your TH-cam for the past few days waiting for this video is excessive
SAME!!! I always run to TH-cam if I see their TH-cam's
Same! 😂
Same! I've been looking up this channel for a while now.
"and now the ten min version" i have never been happier
"Shes rapping bro, this is rap" had me giggling
Aaahh I'm loving these guys! They are so in tune with Taylor's emotions which in my world is rare to find!
My absolute favourite thing about Taylor is how she perfectly puts into words feelings, moments and experiences we’ve all had and struggled to explain. She somehow makes it all make sense. A true lyrical genius
I love so much your reactions, it’s not normal to see men reacting to Taylor, there’s so much prejudice around her that normally she’s judged just because of who she is, and her music is fire, so me as a fan I’m really glad you that you guys listen and appreciate her and her music. Thank you!
" She can't keep getting away with this!"😂
I'm watching you guys going crazy about the 5 minute lyric and nearly snort laughing at how you are going to FREAK OUT about the 10 minute version lyrics.
Taylor hits HARD!!!!
You have to react to the short film!! But honestly, all her songs are amazing!
this actually gives me life omg, i love seeing people have positive reactions to taylor
All the time I was screaming in my head for you to look at the tree dying lol
I really enjoy your reactions. The lyric video of the long version is good but the short film that she directed of this song is way worth watching. Btw, Gyllenhaal was 31, she was 20
The oath line always just KILLS everybody 😭😭😭
I love watching y’all’s reactions to T.Swift!! 💜 yes her pen is a katana 🗡️
The way Taylor just tells this story so vividly via song....LIKE BRO!!!
I love everything about this so much, but I can’t get over “she’s rappin bro, this is rap”. 😂 a lyrical queen.
It’s always a joy to see first time listeners get what Taylor’s all about. More than the persona, the boys, the affairs is just raw songwriting. So descriptive and captures what she went through. As a listener, it’s amazing
ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
It's so mindblowing how this song transformed into what it is known today (one of her best written by far). She told us she and her band were just jamming during rehearsal (speak now tour prob) and she sang this raw for 10-15 mins straight. THANKFULLY the sound guy that day got it all on record and gave it to Mama Swift. The thought of her blurting out those words and expressing those emotions during that jam session makes me realize how truly hurt she must have been by this specific breakup. :(
Love y’all’s reaction. “Don’t Blame Me” from reputation tour and “Wildest Dreams”, “Out Of The Woods” and “We Are Never Getting Back Together” from her 1989 tour are all worth watching. No one puts on a performance like Taylor!
what u said about wishing you'd known this song earlier is so real because personally i suck at explaining how i feel or even figuring it out and it helps so much to listen to her and see what you're trying to heal from reflected in those lyrics, it's like therapy fr
I just LOVED your reaction! Please continue with Taylor reactions… the lyrics only get better and better 😊
I love that she wrote this version just improvising for her band while she was still in the thick of it of grieving this relationship.
It used to be a hurtful song for her to sing years ago when it first came out(old videos you can see the emotion) but fans loved this song so much over the years that she now only thinks of her fans when she sings it and she loves to sing it now cuz its for the fans
At 2:15 you guys are like "this might be my favorite one so far" and I'm like "who is going to tell them to wait until you listen to the 10 minute version?"
I fucking love your guys' reactions! the balance of joking and reacting but also truly listening to the lyrics and catching the meaning.
Just got your Channel suggested and immediately watched all your videos after seeing one. You are doing such a great job reacting to Taylor's music and her lyrics. It's amazing. Love how you really go into the lyrics and your humor. Please keep on doing. Can't wait to see more!
I watched all the reaction videos you have here in one sitting and I love the way you guys pay attention to the lyrics and take the time to process them out loud. I know y’all have been reviewing her sadder songs on YT but as others have recommended, reputation would be a great album to review. I highly recommend Getaway Car since those lyrics GO HARD. Cruel Summer from the Lover album is also a fan favorite
The editing on this one is so funny, love the captions and the zoom ins lol
these videos are healing 😭🥺 it feels sooo amazing to see men appreciating taylor swifts music and actually discussing the lyricism 🫶❤
this is what listening to taylor swift is like. you’re bobbing your head while she shreds your heart to pieces.
Love seeing y’all slowly becoming Swifties🤭💜
I am WAITING for the “All too well the short film” reaction!!!!!!!! I already know it going to be 🔥
The scarf represents her virginity, she confirmed it after the premiere of the short film. However, there was a scarf that she wore while they were pictured together and then there was a picture of him wearing it after the breakup.
My fave song by her until the end of time. Everything about it. The lyricism the production... the build. Man the way she belts that note....
Hey guys! I really enjoy watching your reactions. I’ve definitely followed you guys before and your appreciation and enthusiasm for great lyrics, vocals and instrumentals is so infectious. I’m sure you’ll get a long list of songs that you should react to next but just to wrap this particular story up, and the visuals that you’ve tapped into, I’d recommend watching the All Too Well Short Film. Taylor directed it and even won an award for the short film category. And it is so well deserved. It’s crazy how such a heart wrenching song could create such a beautiful visual masterpiece. But she’s like that. Thanks again for this reaction!! ❤️
I always feel like the “crumpled up piece of paper” line denotes being permanently marked in two ways. 1) what you wrote is still there, you can’t take away the memories, but also 2) once that paper is crumpled there’s no making it perfectly flat again no matter how hard you try, just like the scars from a being treated like crap by a lover tend to stick around and affect future relationships whether we want them to or not.
this truly is one of my favourites from her, I think its safe to say many swifties agree. I want to point out, how crazy it is to have a breakup with someone, and they write a 5 minute song about you. you'd be like damn okay I hear you, but at least thats over. Then they come back with the "nah I got more to say" and then make a 10 MINUTE SONG about you???? If I was Jake I would be quaking in my boots
i think ashton fucks with this one
"Why ya keep doing this to us?". Because you seem to appreciate gut wrenching stories!! I hope you keep up the reactions cuz Taylor has 10 albums filled with all the feels - tho this one is one of my favourites. Please keep the reactions coming. Love you both!
You guys aren't ready for Folklore and Evermore. Some of her best writing, sheer poetry!
Yall got it so right before the 6:00 mark im balling my eyes out. Its rare to see men understand it let alone explain how she feels in the song and how it makes us feel. 💙💙💙
"Her pen might as well be a f*ckin katana." EXACTLY. Poetically dissin a-holes since 2008 ❤✌
This clinched it-I’m subscribing. I can’t miss this journey.
I want to suggest songs, but I know I would end up suggesting way too many… “Best Day” (definitely the music video version is my fav, but lyric video is great, too), “The Archer” (best version is the live performance imo)…”seven” (best version is Long Pond Studio)…”It’s Nice to Have a Friend”… I feel like those are underrated, personally. I never see people recommending them, but I love them.
If you want something faster paced, maybe “Cruel Summer” or “Getaway Car”? I love that Getaway Car works as a metaphor AND works if you take totally literally. Just like “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince”. I genuinely don’t know how she does it.
