Taylor Swift | evermore | Album REACTION!!

[@richardh776]

When I first heard Tolerate it, it killed me. Finally someone appreciated this song. I found some people it went over their head.

[@SweetThuy]

I have to say I liked it a lot when I first heard it, but when I went on a night walk last night just to listen to the album in the right environment, this song really hit me hard. It absolutely deserves its place as track 5!

[@Foolish_huan]

Omg yes !! Most of the reactions have not appreciated the powerful ness of this song and that word. When she first says tolerate it in the song... it broke me

[@anki5156]

It's in my top 3 with this the damn season and no body, no crime

[@mariastaylor]

Tolerate it hits so hard!!! The chorus kills me everytime. It's, like, I've been doing everything to keep you looking at me ('mirrorball') but you just tolerate it. And the line that says 'i know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it' OMG, TAYLOR, YOU WANT ME TO DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS?? She described every relationship I've ever been in

Yes. And the jarring, dissonant beat of this song is meant to be distracting and unpleasant, I think. It's HIS beat. It just says "You don't belong here."

[@Eric_The_Eccentric]

My thoughts on these two albums. Folklore was a midnight confession. While Evermore was waking up to a breaking dawn. Folklore crushed me and left me with a cliffhanger. It was dark and powerful. But Evermore somehow gave me some sort of closure in the end. It's hard to explain this feeling. In Folklore, it was almost like she was looking back at her past and present and trying to find clarity out of all the chaos. But she wasn't still out of the woods yet. There were glimpses of evermore in Folklore too. On the other hand, Evermore lifted my spirit. I genuinely needed it. Look at how Willow picked up from Cardigan in the MV. She was missing a person in Cardigan. It took her on a journey with the help of her music but she came out with empty hands alone in her room. Again, it leaving us with a cliffhanger. But in the next moment she looked down and it wasn't empty anymore. The gold thread pulled her back into another journey but this time, the person followed her as she followed him. And just when she thought nothing has changed, she found her man who was waiting for her all this time. With Folklore, she arrived at the station for a new adventure. And Evermore is the journey on the train. The pain and regrets will still follow her but that's life. You can't avoid it no matter what. And my gut feeling tells me that she needed this when her next project comes out. I maybe wrong but I'm just saying. Now, some may like folklore better than evermore and vice versa. But personally for me i love them both equally because what kind of parent picks a fav child? Maybe some do, but not me. Some of the songs kind of threw me off in Evermore on my 1st listen. But when I listened to both albums back to back again, it made more sense better than I can explain. You just need to be on the right frame of mind devoid of the initial release expectations/rush

[@MichaelBeveraggi]

Beautifully stated Eric!

love this reaction! also some fun facts: "the road not taken" is referencing "the road less travelled by" from folklore, you're right, but the actual reference is from a poem by robert frost where he said "two roads diverged in a wood and i took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference". she referenced this poem in both her songs. she wrote 'tis the damn season while being drunk in the middle of the night

In "tolerate it" she ends the song with "i sit and watch you" because at the end she never really did what she said on the bridge, she only considered to but never did because of fear/sadness, as a result she re-starts the song That's the concept Never telling it... so sad tbh :(

you should definitely give HAIM’s album a try! their album “women in music pt.iii” is one of the bests of 2020 too. if folklore is an autumn album and evermore is a winter record, women in music part iii is summery. it kind of pays tribute of the sound of nostalgia - from 60s-70s soft rock to 90s alternative music, with very sunny sound palette. ps. the girl named “este” that taylor mentioned in no body, no crime is actually one of the members of the trio (the three are sisters) but yeah, the song is purely fiction

[@xmothx6954]

Closures not supposed to sound fully complete. It’s a song about her fulfilling the “mad women” role and stripping herself from her usual song composing. Yet she makes the song, with the odd drums in mind to give the idea it’s being ripped from her mouth, to show all the words she wanted to say in response to people assuming things about her/ might apologize for assuming things later

[@emmurrenauthor]

Also I believe it's intentionally grating because of the anger behind it. Her vocals are determinately calm while the music behind is rage and distortion and chaos. It's brilliant artistically. The line "cuts right to the bone" is reflected in the stress we feel in the music. It's one of my favorite tracks now several years on. This album and Midnights 3 a.m. are my go to albums then TTPD.

[@micaelacardosocharles8501]

Taylor was always a country artist, until 2014 when she change to pop. She made 4 country albums

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

I agree the instrumentals on Closure is distracting. But she did that for a reason, right? She never does anything without reason. I think maybe that’s the point. I don’t think this is about Kanye but I have heard someone else say that instrumental was similar to something he had done before. So maybe it is about Kanye. That’s the only reason I would think why she would have that instrumental on this track, it kinda ruins it. Whatever the reason, I think that’s the point. It’s supposed to ruin it just like whatever this person did ruined any hope of mending ways, and this instrumental never gets resolved.... it continues to be a distraction. Closure would mean eliminating that instrumental. But she doesn’t need the closure. It has to mean that.

I immediately thought of Kanye, but I also thought of the Scooter braun/scott thing.

[@123bkthayer]

You could be right, but I think it's more about her old record label "Big Machine", and here are the reasons why . . . 1) I think Kanye has gone off the deep end and hopefully he gets some help, but he is in her rear view mirror. 2) This is someone else's interpretation (and I would give them credit if I remembered their name) the sounds sound mechanical and disjointed like a "Big Machinery" breaking down. And 3) she mentioned getting a letter from someone saying they knew that what happened didn't go down right, that really sounds like Scott Borchetta in hindsight not liking what happened. Which is too bad for him, he should have sold to her instead of Braun.

[@taramcghee6168]

Not sure if you plan on listening to her entire discography, but DEFINITELY listen to the songs "Dear John" on her Speak Now album, and "All Too Well" on her Red album. These two songs are considered her best during her Country era. The songwriting is absolutely insane. In "Dear John" she's singing about an ex (John Mayer) and she absolutely SLAYS him. The song starts slow and then builds and builds and builds. I also think it's one of her best vocals to date. And in "All Too Well" she takes you through an entire relationship and paints the picture so vividly -- just songwriting genius.

I makes me think of my grandma who I spent most of my time with as a child & aunt who I never got to meet because she died when she was 24 but I’ve always felt connected to her somehow. Especially now that I’m 24. When she says “I should have asked you questions. I should have asked you how to be.” Kills me because when we’re young we’re so caught up in our own lives that we forget to ask the people who have already lived how they did it.

For the Closure song, the instrumental that is so crazy could be a representation of several things, the noise and distraction of the media in her life, Kanye, Scooter Braun and his past label.

Thank you for reacting to evermore. Patiently waiting for your reputation and RED 😂

Marjorie, Taylor’s grandmother, was an opera singer. She is credited for the background vocals on the song that can be heard towards the end. I’m sure her dream was always to sing with her grandmother, so she made that happen. Adds another layer of 🥺 to the song.

[@doratarani192]

I love the reaction

[@Ana-wk8dl]

Marjorie is about her grandmother who was an opera singer and inspired Taylor. Her grandmothers vocals are also in the song after the lyrics”singing to me now” and at the end of the song

I want you to react Speak Now, especially Enchanted in there

[@carinek8103]

Would he survive ? Enchanted - dear john - last kiss are just masterpieces that hit you in the feels

I think "Tolerate it" is about someone who gives everything to her/his lover but that love is tolerate ,its so sad,love tay!try to listen and watch all her albums and MV!she is a queen!

[@karlaalejandracordova9088]

Thank you for recognizing her outworldly talent. Taylor is lady Shakespeare, a poetic princess with a sword of a pen. The fact that she wrote 2 masterful albums in quarantine is mind blowing to me. Like you said, no one else is doing it like her. People who are still hating on her need to check their internalized misogyny and acquire some damn taste for the written word.

[@euphemiarules9]

In long story short, "nemeses" is actually just plural for "nemesis". Shes not pronouncing it special like you thought.

Ahhh my damn my overactive brain

@@MichaelBeveraggi you're totally fine! Welcome to the Swift appreciation club! I'm enjoying your reaction videos :)

29:30 "seven years in heaven" okay so taylor told us in interview with AppleMusic that she wrote this song because her friend was going through a break up. There is a rumour that her bestfriend Abigail, is getting divorce with her husband. They dated since 2013/14 if i am not mistaken. So yeah.........

[@ranswift1360]

The things is that Christmas is one of the highlights of her year because December is literally here birth month. And she grew up in a Christmas Tree Fam so yeah Christmas and Taylor Swift goes hand in hand 😄💗

[@jedwastaken_3714]

I have read the comments and I have different take on the song Closure. That song, for me, is not about Kanye but her former label. BIG MACHINE. As you can notice, the backing sound seems like a broken computer (a broken machine), a very beautiful and clever way of relating her relationship with her former record. And if you'll watch her "making of the song" series on her album Reputation, there's a part there where one of the producer make a random piano sound like the sound in closure and Taylor said this: "Is it weird, i like it, it sounds like a broken computer"

[@ashleygray4769]

Here in 2024...yes stand cry scream we love real reactions in real time. Love your reactions. Taylor keeps giving greatness

[@aurorafulnowandforever]

your reaction on 'tolerate it' 🥺 i feel you 🥺🥺🥺

[@okaymayara_]

coney island is my fav track of the album and i wanna cry everytime i listen to “and when i got into the accident, the sight that flashed before me was your face” “when the sun goes down, the sight that flash before me was your face” referencing out of the woods (one of my favs tracks from 1989). i love her mind 🥺🩹❤️

[@CoryMonteithSuperFan]

I know you probably won’t see this but I would loooooovvveeeee for you to react to The National in general but in particular their 2013 album Trouble Will Find Me. It’s one of those very rare albums that for me at least, every single song is really good and many are in my favorite songs of all time. When you asked “who writes like this?” In this video I involuntarily responded with “The National” before even thinking about it. Their lyrics are similarly profound, poetic and prolific.

[@abdulsalas5170]

Love this reaction just because tolerate it finally got what it deserves

[@lavender48]

Been waiting for this❤❤

[@poisonivy1993]

Yes! I think Closure is supposed to be annoying/distracting on purpose, almost ironical. It’s about Kanye, and he uses similar sounds in his music. Edited to add: Almost like she won’t give him the privilege of another GOOD song instrumentally. By being the shortest song on the album, I think she may have been relaying the message that she doesn’t want to waste more of her time on him now, or going forward.

[@jacki3dani3ls]

I heard it could also be about big machine records/scooter & scott situation and the instrumental is supposed to sound like a "big machine" breaking. I really like both ideas, and the song has really grown on me. hope she talks about it

[@jedwastaken_3714]

I will never stop commenting but when you sung that 'teardrop in my guitar' I SAY YOU MAKE A COVER OF IT HUHU

[@asfjknicole3]

Another lyrical genius is Dermot Kennedy!! i both adore them for their poetry-style songwriting 😍
