Hello and welcome to this weird crevasse of the internet where we get really excited about music (particularly Taylor Swift) and break down our favourite albums and songs. Our names are Bonny and Emily, and our aim with these videos is to share our love for music and also share context and understanding around the songs, by highlighting breaking down the lyrics, melodies and production. We are so happy to have created this little community that is just as unhinged as us when it comes to music 🤪

Taylor talking about her eating disorder BROKE me. During the 1989 era I was struggling with an eating disorder and I had a Pinterest board filled with pictures of Taylor. She was perfect to me, and I wanted to be as skinny and flawless and beautiful as her. Hearing that the girl I wanted to be so badly was struggling in the same way I was... I started SOBBING. I still cry every time I think about it. I am so happy she is happy and healthy right now.

Honestly the amount of trauma this woman has gone through is ridiculous. Watching this documentary is heartbreaking when you hear everything she has been through (and that's without the whole masters debacle) but it's also ridiculously uplifting to see her find love and to express herself how she knows best, by creating fabulous music for other people to enjoy and lean on when they need it.

Why are they so impressed that Taylor had home videos??? That was like the 1990s-early 2000s, not 1890. Come on. Also, we all know she comes from money, it's not like it would have been such an undertaking for them to buy a camera. This is an American upper middle class white family, home videos is a universal experience.

I don’t know a lot about Taylor. I’m not a Swiftie. So I know I’m saying this without context, but when I saw the scene in the car I immediately thought “That mum is super pushy.” And then finding out she always wanted to be “a good girl” and actually developed an ED, also reacting the way she did after getting no Grammy nominations, I feel this even stronger. Nobody ever seems to have told her that she is perfectly fine and loved and worthy NO MATTER WHAT. And even though she seems to have detected that toxic mindset of always fearing to be a failure, she still doesn’t seem to be completely over it. She’s undoubtedly clever and talented, but I wish she’d ever exude a convincing IDGAF vibe and not care about other people’s judgement.

[@betty848]

True. Their love seemed so "pure" if that makes sense. Obviously we know almost nothing about their relationship or them as people - but maybe thats also what makes me think so. I think the less is shown to the public, the more special and important it is to them. Like Taylor said, she felt that this relationship was something she really needed to protect. The more important sth. is and the more you are emotionally invested in sth, the higher is the risk of getting extremly hurt - and sadly the public is able to leave its mark on it/destroying sth.

This is something I think about SO MUCH!! Thousands of girls wanted to look like her during that era and yet she didn’t even want to look like her. It just shows you how the diet industry preys on girls and women and the goal isn’t to look any specific way but just to keep getting smaller.

[@jankova0013]

same. I looked like that at that time and I remember people telling me if I'm eating enough (and honestly it was more complicated that me just starving myself and not at all about the looks so I always found that question ridiculous when it was pointed at me) and I found validation in Taylor. She was the same height and weight (at least according to some magazine) so I was like yeah, it's fine, there is nothing wrong with how I look. I think I even thought it's "good" -_- anyway this scene like really opened my eyes and I saw that that is definitely not okay and I should do everything in my power to change that.

It was a huge splurge for us to fly to Dallas (I was in graduate school), we went to both nights and the concert was incredible, so worth it.

[@rosanaconta3416]

she and her fans always act like the 2016 "Kimye" debacle nearly "ruined" her career and destroyed her reputation, but did it? Did it really? At worst, that backlash was only on Stan Twitter. The general public, from what I remember, didn't really know about any of this. The only reputation that was tarnished was that people got the slightest indication that Taylor might not be a perfect, honest person all the time. I was there in 2007 when Britney Spears was going through the worst moments of her life on the public stage. I've seen what a ruined reputation looks like. Taylor Swift, thankfully, has never had to endure anything to that magnitude. She grew up in a well-off and stable family that didn't exploit her, and she's had massive amounts of success since her first album as a teenager. Again, there are legitimate snags and obstacles that she's had to overcome, but overall, her entire career has been nothing but highs. I can't really vouch for this narrative her fanbase constantly spins of her being this misunderstood underdog. … “You’re on your own kid.” Didn’t her parents just casually moved to Nashville cause she wanted to? And her dad even invested a large sum of money from her label when she was starting out? I remember listening to this song when the album dropped and said, “girl you’re a li@r” after it finished.

Honestly the whole Kanye thing has always been totally fucked up. I don’t think it mattered how she reacted to his lyric. People wanted to knock her of the pedi stall. Which he knew as well, otherwise he would never have done it. In the full phone call you hear Kanye treading water, he knew she would hate it. The OG lyric he told her was “I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex”. Taylor even says “the feminist are gonna come out. But I mean, you don’t give a f***. So..”. Kanye only called, not because he was scared of her following, but peoples perception of the sexism the line portrayed. However by twisting the story and her words he knew people wouldn’t care about that. Which then just leads into the man

[@99monsters2]

If she had flat out refused on the phone call, he would have done it anyway, and people would have been like "she thinks she's too good to work with kanye" "she's not over 2009", etc. I don't think she could have won either way with it. Phone call reminds me of a "popular kid"/"bully" type asking someone to copy their homework, like she knows it wrong but she's also afraid of saying no, knowing either way it will probably blow up in her face.

As a new listener to Taylor’s music it was genuinely eye opening for me to watch this doco and then listen to your commentary. Thank you. It’s hard to believe it’s the same person touring Oz with her Eras Tour atm. So much she’s been through, and she deserves the respect to just be herself with no judgements. It’s amazing how lonely it must be with her thoughts so I’m glad Travis and her Dad are here to support and distract her from all the negative reaction to the ground swelling of love from her fans. Can you also believe she got criticised for going to a zoo and patting a kangaroo by PETA, or flying her private jet to perform her shows….she will never please everyone and I believe she is relinquishing this “people pleasing” trait and focusing more on her happiness. May Travis be that strength to stand with her which has been missing in all her past partners 💖

[@F1Swiftie]

I’ve recently been watching a lot of reaction videos to Taylor, mainly from people who aren’t necessarily fans, but want to find out more about her. I like those videos, and I feel proud of her when the people are wowed by her story and her storytelling (and sometimes become big Swifties themselves). This is the first time I’ve watched it with people who know all the stories and the background and I’m NOT thinking “Ahh! It’s because THIS happened” and “That lyric is amazing/sad/sweet/devastating because…” and you’re commenting on how small Benji is and not just noticing the cute kitten. 😺 This is the first of your videos I’ve watched. I really enjoyed re-watching the doc with your commentary :) PS It’s very meta that I’m watching this a year after you posted it while you’re saying “Think of all the things that current Taylor knows and we have no idea.” And I’m thinking of all the things that’ve happened in the past year that this version of you doesn’t know yet and thinking, “Oh ladies, buckle up!”

God i just love her so much. Her discussing her experience with eating disorders makes me tear up every-time. I hope she knows how many people she’s helped from saying that.

[@nicolettekeely]

I think her Grammy performance of out of the woods was the first time the world went “woah” 😳 this woman can SING! She had really world hard on her vocals and proved everyone who had criticized her singing abilities wrong.

[@rosanaconta3416]

She got wrong notes in this presentation and her own fans commented lol

[@rosanaconta3416]

Ever seen Taylor trying to sing mariah carey? or with stevie nicks? A singing teacher analyzed her and said that she only does the basics and whether it's worth studying so much if people like her are successful.

[@marianafurey5353]

I also saw in an interview once that Taylor said when started and was young other stars viewed as being similar to there own daughter but once she was around 19-20 that shifted and she felt a much different vibe. I can't remember her phrasing but it was a mix of feeling more vulnerable because she wasn't a viewed as a kid anymore. Also I think people starting viewing her in as a contemporary and things got more competitive.

[@Jassibeanx]

watching miss americana after tortured poets is out will be so interesting 💗

[@aribakhan152]

i loved your take on the grammy nomination clip bc i think the same about it. she had grown up in that vicious cycle of proving her worth to the world and how she deserves her stage, every step of the way. you can't just let go and break the mold you've been conditioned to live in, overnight. yes with reputation, she put out a very bold statement but it was just the beginning and the first step in realising her power. ofcourse she was still trying to seek that validation post rep too, that fear was so deep rooted in her, of not out doing herself and being left behind. but i think we can say that now she has truly escaped the cycle. so proud of taylor! (i kept thinking about nothing new while writing this comment, it still fit her situation perfectly even 5 years down the line)

[@allisonemily9320]

I love that you mentioned how Taylor is helping so many people by talking about these tough topics, because you gals are doing the same. I look up to you both so much. The hug after you watched the clean speech was much needed. Bonny’s right, it does affect you in a lot of ways, forever. Sending love to you leading ladies

[@eloiselignos]

I cried numerous times throughout this video, it just overwhelms me so much when I realise how much she has influenced me and how strong she is as a person is just SO powerful

[@onyx3939]

the fact that she immediately says she should just "make a better record" than REPUTATION....

[@easyveganfoodie]

When you watch this documentary after the whole Damon Albarn fiasco, you can really see how baffling it is that he would even claim she doesn’t write her songs. She was writing songs even as a child. It’s so crazy what the industry has put her through even at this stage in her career when it’s so clear how amazing of a songwriter she is.

[@coloryou27]

Watching this 2 years later is an insane experience 😅 I agree that the entire proposal interaction is INSANE, I legit fast forward everytime cause it makes me so embarrassed.

[@McChick]

Watching this in May 2024 is so interesting, especially with TTPD being out and Taylor sharing so much with that album!

[@B0KN0WS]

Bonnie and Emily, thank you for posting this! It was so nice to watch Miss Americana with you guys 😁 I love your videos so much, both of you are superior humans (to borrow your phrase 😉) and it warms my heart and makes me so happy to see how much you love and appreciate Taylor. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky we all are to have her on this planet with us! Also, thank you so much for finding a way to not have to cut it way down because of copyright! I loved that you posted the whole film, it really was like watching it with you. Take care!

[@tebbie_1980]

In the phone call video you can tell she was extremely uncomfortable and she wanted to say no, but I’m assuming that if she said no that he would turn it into a hole thing. Ka*ye had this mischievous grin the entire time of the phone call. You can tell she didn’t wanna do it, and she was uncomfortable so uncomfortable with the lyrics I think she felt like she couldn’t say anything.

[@Alexandra-lk7ee]

This was such a joy! Seeing other people geek out over Taylor as much as I do is so amazing. I can’t even imagine how much time it took to edit this, or any of your other videos so thank youuu, you both just radiate positivity!

[@falonrogers4072]

the eating disorder clip felt so relatable as for me just as a 14 year old girl im still learning how to word things and it sounds like what i've always been trying to word...its funny because i always thought her 1989 body type was ideal and been so happy when all my friends told me that was how i actually looked...that was really eye opening for me honestly...also i love you guys sm you make me feel like less of a Taylor and lyric nerd 🤍❤

[@rosanaconta3416]

She didn't talk openly about having an ED and in the same documentary she said she didn't go to the doctor. In fact, what she did was a disservice. Because anyone knows that disorders need treatment and medical care and they ignored and minimized them in the documentary. Leading anyone with critical sense to see that it could be a lie and that she didn't know how to talk about it

[@dugarcez]

THIS BEGINNING!!!!!!! such nice voices

[@Sadprose]

I feel like ‘Me’ was totally different from what we’re used to get from her, but I honestly love it even though I don’t listen to it much. I loved all her live performances of it, and I loved that she explored smth different with it.

[@naddyfre]

her being my childhood idol since i was 8 years old, seeing her for the first time when i went to her eras tour twice recently, watching this documentary again got me bawling my eyes out just 2 minutes in during the intro 🥹 she means so much to me. my inspiration.

[@robertthompson7242]

Taylor was raised Presbyterian; private Christian elementary school, public middle school (The Outside), move to Tennessee for the 8th grade, and then to public high school -- and home school (she was already on tour) after the 10th grade with another Christian school. She had a gospel group open some of her shows; she is very open about it, really. The names of the schools are on the Wikipedia page; she mentioned summer Bible camps in one of her very early radio interviews. Her childhood was in a rural part of Pennsylvania, maybe an hour and a half from either NYC or Philadelphia. Today, that part of the state is pretty poor; another reason for her parents to leave. The south is not a bastion of liberalism, although the demographics on that will shift a bit (slowly). One of the things left out after the win for 1989 -- no mention really of the boyfriends. She was alone at that point bc after she broke up with Styles, she didn't really date for a year and a half. (So, Clean). But, also no mention of Calvin Harris, who was part of her life from 2015 to 2016; she just erased any mention of him from her life story. Unlike Gyllenhaal (who only dated her for 3 months) he didn't rate many songs apart from Getaway Car (unless you assume he just gets lumped in with the other exes on Reputation(RFI, IDSB, DBM) and Lover (I Forgot that You Existed, or The Archer when she refers to her enemies starting out friends).

[@cassidyvalencia2564]

OH MY GOSH! I literally screamed with excitement thank you guys for taking the Time to record this and edit it! Oh my gosh

[@thistle13]

now we need a new documentary because of covid, folklore, evermore, the albums being taken away from her, re-recordings, new music videos, her acting in a movie and midnights. so many things have happened ever since.

[@avivapeltin]

Watching this months later and omg 42:00 you said CINDERELLA VIBES! Fast forward two years, and we have a Cinderella music video!!!!

[@narimeneissaad8884]

Just wanted to say her saying "shouldn't i have someone right now..." isn't a toxic trait at all, yes you don't need a partner to be happy.....but that kind of happiness is temporary because family and friends have their own individual lives and they wouldn't be there for you all the time so you kinda need that one person to walk through life with you hand in hand, share your ups and downs, dreams and hopes...you know someone to go back home to. Her friend Ed said a similar thing that out of all his achievements finding love and having his own family is the most important one.

[@jenniferlopez2929]

The MTV footage really breaks my heart. You can really see how grateful she was to win her award and then she just crumbles. She was so young

[@LuLu98J]

3:37 "Imagine the things she knows now" List of things Taylor Swift knew when Bonny and Emily were recording this reaction video and we didn't have a clue about: 1. MIDNIGHTS.

[@julia-lovesewell1999]

Would absolutely DIE for a breaking down the K*nye phone call video/discussion. Even just a full breakdown of the drama from start to finish including all of the songs that reference that whole situation in her albums would be so informative for people!!!!

[@robmills6330]

Thank you for broadcasting this. I do not have Netflix, and it was killing me that I could not watch this. As an unabashed Swiftie, Taylor Swift is the most amazing person in the world. We simply cannot get enough of her. Thanks again

[@txsgreen714]

Taylor standing up to the white men was wonderful. It's ridiculous how they tried to talk over her and shut her down

[@vankr]

I would LOVE a breakdown of the full phone call. It's very tricky navigating this subject because there is sexism in one side, but racism issues on the other. It reminds me of the OJ case, cause the feminists were saying "he is violent, there is evidence", and the black community was saying "stop incriminating black boys and black men", and both allegations are true. Taylor was not being acused simply of being a lier, but of doing white victimization

[@brunetteXer]

yes, that was a narrative for a while, and then she conveniently "joined" the Left and it went away. I was sad at this, because The Left Eats Its Own. they have no loyalty. I've recently seen some black girls do a reaction video and say of LGADynasty "I don't want to hear about some rich white womans house". Taylor needs to get out of politics, or stay in the centre, where it's safe.

[@elephant1871]

“The things this b- knows” MIDNIGHTS! Literally tho! But thinking of the things she knows now…

[@clashfan2875]

Am I the only one that was bothered about the Kanye lyric about them having sex? Just the whole sentiment that he would somehow be owed sex in exchange for making her famous is beyond problematic. Yet everyone seemed to think that was perfectly fine.

[@Sofia-fp4mw]

No, I thought of that too and I'm actually really suprised no one talked about that It's just so wrong

[@chatsandreacts]

Oh no I was very bothered by the whole lyric, just digusting... and the video clip omg

[@boyslove5077]

And how he get away with it and still have fanbase and people call him legend 🙄 if it was a women they would have canceled her but he was a man so it's not new he get away with it ,what taylor suffered always make me cry 😭😭😭

[@rosanaconta3416]

@@boyslove5077 * She wrote Bad Blood about Katy Perry, cause she was upset over dancers being pulled from her. When in reality, the real reason is clearly due to Katy Perry dating John Mayer, which clearly put her off. Nothing wrong about writing a song about anyone she wants, but having a whole video campaign about pitting woman against Katy, and trying to find every big A-list name she could pull as me vs you, was whack. What doubles down her pettiness? The fact that she backtracks years later and went out of her way to blame “the media” when it was her who was out for revenge regarding Katy. She also posts a picture of Katy’s Olive Branch gift, with the words stating she is sorry. Which came across as really childish. If Katy never had apologised to her, Taylor would be still taking shots at her (purposely dropping her catalogue release on Spotify the day Katy Perry dropped her album.)

2:21:15 she did do an interview with him around the time Fearless TV dropped (where they joked that Hey Stephen was about him)

[@soso2_3]

it's also so crazy that the full phone call video HADN'T been leaked when this was made/released!!!! like she still wasn't vindicated yet and still hadn't had her named fully cleared when she put this out like it's so insane and brave for her to have addressed it still not knowing everyone would eventually get her full side of the story.

[@darragh-zr9wp]

If you look at many clips of taylor before fame, you can see how even with fame, she is the same. She still says "Hi, I'm taylor" the exact same every time she's on stage or in a concert. And ever since she was, like, three years old she responds to a compliment by saying "Thank you. Thanks for saying that" She still says it the exact same way with the exact same pause after the first "Thank you" This really shows how she is real and genuinely grateful.

[@renger0806]

i cant believe i watched an almost 3 hour video of swifties reacting to a taylor swift documentary but i honestly loved every moment this was such a great experience where there are other people commenting about the documentary and not just me watching it by myself i look forward to more content from you guys!

[@sage396]

It breaks my heart how much people shit on me because taylor was SO excited about it

[@cutiepiemania45]

The scene where she's discussing publicly taking a stand in the TN race was filmed on the fly. The director did an interview and talked about it. She, the director, wasn't present, but someone idk who but guessing part of the film crew (?), kind of figured this might be a moment to get. I'm glad they got it. Its interesting to me, because I see Taylor as someone w/immense privilege and power. I think in some ways it's not enough, but I can still deeply empathize w/the roadblocks she's facing and the fear that was instilled in her about speaking out. And it is nice to see her speaking up more even beyond that moment and educate herself. It probably inspired more fans to look at the people who make laws and see if they agree with them. That's a good use of platform.

[@dolphin7282]

Help - im watching this after eras where taylor gave you the letters and 21:25 is SO FUNNY bc taylor could have seen that while she was in her bed with her cats giggling and kicking her feet lmao
