EMOTIONAL REACTION! | TAYLOR SWIFT - "MARJORIE"

[@thejobbernowl]

I think that's what beautiful is that even though this is just an album deep cut song that Taylor is playing it on her tour. That means her grandmother still gets to sing and be heard all over the world. ❤

[@inmyReputation-Era]

Yes, Taylor’s grandmother went to my high school in St. Charles, MO, and attended Lindenwood College. Taylor still has family in the area. Also, the singing you hear at the end is Marjorie. This song was a sleeper for me until I saw the Eras tour movie and really listened to the lyrics. I bawled my eyes out.

[@Suprachiasmatic]

Aw, I’m in St Louis and didn’t know that connection! How cool! I remember when The Last Great American Dynasty came on the Eras tour and everybody in the theater screamed “St LOUIS!” It made me smile.

[@Yephimł]

​@@SuprachiasmaticI'm in Lake St. Louis, hi neighbor!😊

[@Yephimł]

​@@SuprachiasmaticThose of us from St. Louis did the same at the KC show. It was pretty cool!

[@scarlett405]

Same!! The movie brought his one to life for me

[@sarahkuhlmann432]

my mom went to lindenwood, it's crazy

[@crystalkadletc1944]

The lyric, “ I should've asked you questions I should've asked you how to be Asked you to write it down for me Should've kept every grocery store receipt 'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me Watched as you signed your name Marjorie All your closets of backlogged dreams And how you left them all to me” Gets me everytime. I lost both my grandparents one in my teens and my dad’s mom after I turned 30. This song makes me miss them so much and those lyrics really strike an undeniable cord in my heart.

[@kateg4623]

"Every scrap of you would be taken from me..." it just 'hits different' after loss, doesn't it? My grandparents were literally my biggest supporters in anything I tried - and I have ADHD so I try a LOT... I was so thankful to them both, lost my Pa in 2003, and then my Nanna in 2019, there's always things I remember, that I can still hear and feel. certain words and sentences they always said to me... I never got to meet my Mum's parents, her mother died a month before I was born, and mum was still alone and Dad's parents basically became her parents... til the days they both passed. love we are given from the ones before us is just such a gift.

[@CallMeCraftyAl]

Gets. Me. Every. Time...

[@LanaJulie33]

"I should have asked you questions, should have asked you how to be" makes me weep every time. I wish i had asked my grandma so much more about her life and how my dad was as a kid....., but you never know the things you'll wish you had asked

[@sarahoward8843]

That high pitched singing in the background is Marjorie

[@Suprachiasmatic]

I’m forever grateful to Marjorie. She’s the reason we have Taylor’s music now, I feel. She admired her grams so much that she wanted to grow up to be a performer too, and now all of our lives are better for it.

[@shannonochoa1040]

Travis also shares a birthday with Marjorie as well.

[@itsame9780]

Aint no way 😮

[@AstroBaby91]

Wooooah

[@Enraged-Loki]

my partner shares the same birthday as my grandmother too who took me in when my mother wanted to put me up for adoption, she died when i was 12

[@lubalethudube186]

What!? Now that’s an invisible string

[@esapov]

I CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR MARJORIE

[@morrigan_fayre3778]

She looks so much like her Grandmother! There’s a presence there too. Oh! I love this

[@tamarinbush6613]

I was looking for this comment. She looks so much like her Grandmother. Both women are beautiful ❤

[@Aquatofanablue]

This my grandmother’s name and this song always makes me cry.

[@kurtzbomb]

My god Taylor is the spitting image of her!

[@meganlynn83]

My Uncle was murdered in KC in February and this song makes me really emotional. The, 'every scrap of you would be taken from me' part is exceptionally brutal.

[@Suprachiasmatic]

I’m so sorry for your loss. 💙 I hope that your family has or will have Justice, whatever that can even mean in this kind of situation.

[@ABtheKreator]

I'm sorry for your loss ❤

[@LeslieBrown-nl3jc]

Love this song . My grandma was my everything ❤️. My mom was so abusive i ended up in the hospital. Never had a dad . I spent ever weekend with my grandma till she passed away when i was 26. She taught me kindness, love, honor,honesty, empathy & so much more . ❤

[@khills]

Marjorie and her family also moved to Singapore and lived there what sounds like about 18 months; she performed with the Singapore opera while there! (This also means her mom lived in Singapore as a kid.) It goes a long way in explaining how Taylor became who she is ( vs who the GOP thought she was).

[@Koreankimmie]

One of my favorites from evermore😭🙏 great reaction!!

[@elizabeth9674]

She’s an opera singer, it’s those high notes at the end, ethereal. ❤

[@Cathleen861]

My mom's name was Marjorie and my daughter loves this song because it reminds her of her grandma. My mom was a singer, with one recording to her credit. She won a singing contest and the prize was to record two songs. Side 1 was called There Are Such Things and the flip side was her sorority song, The Girl of Sigma Beta.

[@leeannies-tears369]

WOW ❣️ The more I get to know her, she absolutely peaks my adoration. She's just a sparkling, bright star. Thanks AB AND AMANDA

[@Violet316]

A very nice reaction, I love that you took the time to read and find out more about Taylor's grandmother.

[@clnorm6831]

My grandma died almost 30 years ago, and I still cry my eyes out when I hear this song. And her name the same, except spelled Margery. 🥰

[@ABtheKreator]

I am so sorry for your loss ❤

[@soniclyqaulan]

beautiful tribute song to her grandmother

[@tamarawyatt9360]

What her video for wildest dreams. She wears a black wig in it and 1950s clothes and really resembles her grandmother in it.

[@xoxoxANGExoxox]

All good vibes here AB, seems you've discovered Taylors music because people are requesting it and you found you like it the same as billions of others do - thats an all around win 🎶 ❤️

[@megandelynn6114]

This is one of my fav songs from the tour especially!

[@marcellebarth7077]

Thank you for playing this, and the background you shared with us! Taylor is just amazing, her voice, her writing, how we can relate. Most of her songs break my heart. ❤

[@MizukiLovesDraco]

That "cause every scrap of you'd be taken from me" line opens the floodgates every single time I heart it. Like I have so much stuff left from my mother, but nothing that is actually /her/ if that makes any sense... Every bit of the real her was taken away from me.

[@camilaalgaranaz2801]

for me is "I should have asked you how to be". the fact that is so simple and general in a way. Like, teach me how to be alive, how to live and feel😭

[@MizukiLovesDraco]

@@camilaalgaranaz2801 and also how to be without you here... Like I remember that being my initial reaction when my mom died was like how do I live in a world that you're not in...

[@shilohivy4590]

Taylor has a way of describing that feeling so perfectly

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

This is one of my favorites from her, and one of the most memorable moments of the show when I saw her! So beautiful, and everyone lights up their phones and waves them and sings along with her in memory, it was so touching.

[@CallMeCraftyAl]

I had never heard this song until shortly after my mom passed away unexpectedly. One of my faves now and I bawl every time I listen to it.

[@sarahhandberg5185]

Apparently Justin vernon (Bon iver) is singing backing vocals which I didn’t know before now

[@MojoviWrites]

This one kills me every time. I miss my grandma so much.

[@ladychelseatheundead]

I was taking a huge breath and fanning my face right when you said "we're gonna get through it." The collective feels we all have is why I think her music is valuable. It unites us in being human.

[@lcan7390]

I was okay till the last bit then I’m crying into my pillow I totally get these lyrics so beautiful ❤

[@melindatintle9728]

This song brings me to tears every time. ❤

[@selenasuau2613]

Her grand mother was famouse in Puerto Rico opera singer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kateg4623]

Part of me is terrified to watch this one, because I lost 2 hearts in 2019, and then during COVID she came out with this... and one was MY Nanna, who was a musician... and I can listen to this for HOURS on repeat. and just feel and cry and its everything. i can't even pick the most... profound lyrics for me in this song... As soon as I saw it was on your list with "EMOTIONAL REACTION!" Thank you for sharing these.

[@kateg4623]

My Dad died pretty suddenly in the beginning of 2022, and I barely got to say goodbye because I was so busy looking after everyone else and trying to ease the tensions. he and I were so close and damn Tay

[@Yephimł]

You should see this live, it was a real tear-jerker at the Eras tour.

[@maribiddle5859]

I lost my mom in May and I took the time and still want more. One day. This song hits hard when you see it at the Eras Tour! I wept!

[@ABtheKreator]

Deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for your loss.

[@helloheyo4ever]

Whoa …. That one hits close to home ❤️

[@baileythurby7594]

I broke now when I saw a video of her singing this live, and she looked up to the sky with tears in her eyes she points up

[@DelightfulDisappointment]

I heard this song for the first time a few weeks after my grandfather died and it destroyed me.. Such a great song.

[@chelsecraythorn2233]

I never really loved this one until I watched the video. It’s so sad!

[@rhapsody98]

For a real tear jerker, listen to Ronan from her album Red.

[@stacyr2586]

All your closets of backlogged dreams and how you left them all to me. You slept on that line cuz the pressure of fulfilling your grandmas dream is intense!

[@Donna-C]

Very good reaction video 👏

[@christinagranados503]

❤️

[@kenahartzog3401]

Her grandmother was beautiful. Taylor looks like her

[@SouthernArtist77]

It’s lovely. 😢

[@souledout08]

I love this song. For me, I'd say my grandpa was the closer relationship - but regardless... wow. If I ever manage to have a child (or actually get a teaching job), I want to put the 'never...you forget...' lines up as part of the decorating scheme. so much truth.

[@fabriciofranco1338]

Why are you dancing ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[@adabadoskova2915]

Marjorie's vocals in the background always destroy me...and the bridge...the bridge is just so beautiful but hurts so much.

[@stacyr2586]

Have you done Tolerate It via the era tour yet? Best!!!

[@terryturkington1293]

It’s her high notes (operatic voice)

[@andreaburwood9254]

❤

[@kenahartzog3401]

Taylor and Taylors brother was her only grandchildren

[@Eve_Adam_Steve]

Taylors moms cousin went to my church! Love her! This was in st. Louis

[@patriciadavis1393]

Not to be a hater AB but it seems everybody is jumping on the Taylor Swift bandwagon because she's dating the Kelce brother😮😮😮😮😮

[@rollandgoodwin7310]

We should glad people are welcoming her finally and understanding her impact and greatness imo

[@meganlynn83]

I have seen more jumping on Taylor reactions since she's the most popular artist right now. 🤷‍♀️

[@rachels1313]

Stop demeaning women by looking at nothing but the men in their lives. And Travis Kelce is nothing compared to the fame and skill of Taylor Swift.

[@patriciadavis1393]

@@rachels1313 that is not what I am saying I am not demeaning women but it seems like all these reactors are coming out of the woodwork and I watch a lot A reactions and nobody has been doing anything by Taylor Swift lately until she started dating Kelsey and I know she's rich and famous this has nothing to do with her I'm just saying that people are like sheep and jump on the bandwagon just because everybody else does and that is my opinion I'm entitled to it you don't have to agree I don't even know you

[@patriciadavis1393]

@@meganlynn83 yes recently but before that I never saw one reaction to her music not one and believe me I watch a lot of different reactions
