'Betty' by Taylor Swift (Live @ ACM Awards) - Musician Reacts

[@AnnaS-cz1oc]

The song is from the viewpoint of a 17-year old boy, James, who cheated on Betty. He claims he was so young, he didn't know what he was doing. "Cardigan" is from Betty's viewpoint. She says "when you are young, they assume you know nothing." She knew he was cheating, and knew he was gonna come back to her. And "August" is from the viewpoint of the girl who James cheated with.

[@JacobRestituto]

Oh wow - cool!!

[@AnaSantos7]

Also that part in cardigan "I knew you'd miss me once the thrilled expired and you'd be standing in my front porch light" that was exactly what James did. I'm kinda shocked that I only realized that now. Taylor is such a genius songwriter. Mind blowing!

[@jadedodgen1269]

Actually, Betty is about a gay girl who likes betty. Or at least, I thought it was...

[@alexkostuchenko3697]

I love this song so bad

[@JacobRestituto]

for sure

[@alexkostuchenko3697]

@@JacobRestituto right

[@Michelle-ev8if]

Yes, the songs are related... she called it the teenage love triangle: “Cardigan”, Betty POV / “Betty”, James POV / “August”, the girl James cheated Betty with. It’s cool, it’s full Easter eggs, for example: August 2:47 = “...get in the car...” Betty 2:47 = “... James get in...” Betty 3:13 = “...I’m here on your doorstep...” Cardigan 3:13 = “... and you’d be standing in my front porch light...”

There is nothing that beats Taylor with only her guitar❤️ (or her piano, though I’m more partial to her and her guitar) One of the things I love about Taylor is her ability of storytelling (just one of the things I love about her). Listening to her songs and you close your eyes you can almost see it all happen in front of your eyes. And she really enjoys performing. Not many artists can smile so genuinely like she does all through an performance. With many artists you can see that she smiles are, a lot of the time, part of the performance. With Taylor, it’s clear that she really loves what she does. ❤️ Taylor is a lyrical genius. You should react to “the Lakes.” That song is so beautiful, with complex lyrics that at the same time are easily singable. It’s a masterpiece among masterpieces ❤️

[@johnreyes3514]

Loooooove both but I think Gaga is to her piano as Taylor is to her guitar.

[@mrpddnos]

@@johnreyes3514 I haven’t seen any live performances of gaga. But I’ll believe you😉 to be honest, I perform Tay and her guitar over Tay and her piano (doesn’t mean I don’t love love love Tay and her piano❤️)

[@johnreyes3514]

@@mrpddnos I do have to warn you. Gaga goes i n s a n e when she steps (and i mean that in the most literal sense) on a piano.

She has been killing it for a long time with guitars and vocals.

[@JacobRestituto]

Truth

[@David.124]

I love how she’s playing the base strings rather than just strumming. So good

[@yuvrajsinghraghav2362]

Please react to Taylor swift acoustic performances more and more please please

[@JacobRestituto]

more to come!

[@lizquin6688]

I think that "wedding song" you're talking about is canon lmao. It's a classical piece

[@JacobRestituto]

ah - yes haha

[@robertthompson7242]

might be the harmonica is in the right ear because there isn't an audience, and he is to her right, so it is recorded from her perspective.

[@amelia3841]

I think the classical song you were thinking of in the beginning was Canon in D, I'd never picked up on that before!

[@JacobRestituto]

ahh o!

[@JacobRestituto]

ok*

[@TedLor13]

You will never know the whole story of the song unless you listen to Cardigan and August.. these are Taylor's Trilogy about love triangle.

[@JacobRestituto]

Cool! Thanks!

[@valliore.fm1]

Man I love your React videos, as a producer and musician myself I very much enjoy music appreciation coming from others... You got a new fan here! :) Have you checked out Lady Gaga's Chromatica? Production wise I find it really neat , maybe you can check out or React to Fun Tonight... Also Troye Sivan's EP "In A Dream" has very interesting things, you could check or React to Rager Teenager! perhaps... Just ideas/ music recommendations 😊 keep up the great work! 🙌🏻

[@robertthompson7242]

Jacob: I wonder if he did make it up to her? in Cardigan she is having a conversation with the boy "You put me on and said I was your favorite" High heels on cobblestones there relate to the broken cobblestones here; at the end of the Cardigan, when she has reiterated all her troubles, he comes back, and is on her porch. What is the last thing you see in the music video? She is putting on a Cardigan that was NOT there when she started, and is WAAAAY too big for her. Yes, she took him back, and then nagged him about for YEARS! lol

[@kosmikpixie]

Have you listened to the album version? Spoiler alert; she swears and makes it sound sophisticated.

[@JacobRestituto]
