CRYING AGAIN to Taylor Swift - Red (Taylor's Version) (Part 1)

[@aueakmnsn]

If u had tears for the shorter version I can’t imagine 10 minute short film 👌🏼

[@AllTheArtsy]

For my money, the original cut of ATW is still the better song. But you cant deny the raw emotion of ATW10.

[@dreameroptimist02]

I really want them to listen to the the sad girl autumn version of ATW. It would be hitting right for the 10 min

[@imgettingsomad]

agree, 10 min version is straight on diss track

[@Espi1502]

I just love that the title is "CRYING AGAIN"

[@putyouon]

She can’t keep getting away with it

[@WizzyMcNasty]

She’s been getting away with it for decades. Why stop now? Can’t wait to watch!

[@caitlingreen7355]

22 and We Are Never Getting Back Together are meant to be that poppy. She did it on purpose, her ex told her he preferred indie music over hers and when they broke up she decided to write a song that was going to be so poppy and catchy that it would be played everywhere and he’d have to hear it all the time. I can’t wait for part 2!!!!!

[@boutglo6853]

She’s a genius

[@LaDimplez91]

Omg I did not know that, and I remember hearing We Are Never Getting Back Together a thousand times on the radio during many of my shifts at Sears and I ended up learning the whole song and it annoyed me to death😂😂😂 good job, Taylor!!! I love her❤

“The songs are so upbeat not too contemplative” right before y’all hit ATW is iconic 😂

[@putyouon]

Always speak too soon smh

[@monicaherrera2224]

State of grace was one of the first songs that made me realize how clever her lyrics are. Most people would’ve thought of saying “we were both born in December” or “we are both Sagittarius” but “twin fire signs” is so much more concise and poetic.

[@shelyseanderson4371]

agreed, this is my favourite song of ALL time 🥹

[@mahnoormajid6545]

It’s also there in ATW 10 Minute: And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue / Just between us, did the love affair maim you too

[@marigolden_mariposa]

I'm obsessed with The Last Time. It sounds SO Snow Patrol, which i love. I don't think the production would have sounded like that without him, look at his song Open Your Eyes and i think you can hear what i mean. I love his parts and i love his voice. ❤

[@GreedyLiz]

I really don't know why but I love these two's reactions. I mean, this father-son-dynamic is so refreshing and the way they are so respectful, love It ❤

[@putyouon]

I really appreciate that truly 🫶🏻

[@megandelynn6114]

Oh, I figured out what it is with swifties loving to watch new reactors to Taylor especially men and it's because it's like crack for us😂 plus it kind of makes us feel a little bit like we're hearing these songs for the first time again which is lovely!

[@cara9680]

you guys listening to all too well and then immediately saying "i don’t know who else could write a song like that but a woman" seriously floored me, the way you appreciate and empathize with her art is wonderful. thank you for sharing your reaction!!

AHHH so glad you guys liked I Almost Do and Sad Beautiful Tragic. They’re sooo underrated and have always been two of my favorites. I was a fan of hers before this album but Red was when I just became obsessed. All Too Well is my favorite song of all time and the 10 minute version is even better!

[@ThePickleUpYourNose]

I had no idea people hated I Almost Do so much until recently!! To me, it’s up there with back to December and Dear John and those kind of iconic songs

[@bryceratliff9194]

@@ThePickleUpYourNose YES it’s just a perfect melancholic song just like those! It’s so slept on and I have no idea why! it captures late night reminiscing like nothing else

[@LeannahW]

I've always loved I Almost Do! I've been a Taylor fan since Debut and when Red came out it was the song on the album that most reminded me of her previous work and I think it's absolutely a solid track. It has the vibe of sitting up late at night debating on whether or not to call, and strumming a guitar along with your emotions. I've had me a good cry or two to this one lol

[@UltimaFantasy]

I Almost Do was my favorite when the album first came out in 2012 and me telling my friends from High School that it is the best song in the album 😄

[@rjs2035]

LITERALLY WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS EXACTLY?!?! I guess I’ve never had an original experience, but I am glad someone relates on this! 😂😂😂

[@leak3690]

Crying on the short version of All Too Well? The long one is gonna HURT and all the Swifties will be sitting there munching on popcorn, watching and crying with you.

[@mirandachandler3300]

Ed is similar to Taylor in that he knows how to write a song for radio but his deep cuts are very moving and he is also good at dabbling in different genres. He's definitely worth a look at his older deep cuts.

[@marym1093]

This 👏 Plus and Multiply are masterpieces. I love divide and equals too but there’s something about those two and then subtract 🥺 and now I looooove autumn variations

[@paytonl.8563]

Completely agree

[@dreameroptimist02]

Damnnn I'm excited about this one. Honestly I think RED should be anyone's introduction to Taylor Swift. This is all the way a good example of a perfect authentic Taylor Swift album. Arguably it's her best album up with fok-more.

[@daphnnepang7208]

[@alyssat8643]

I totally agree. This album is THE essential Taylor Swift album. Her songwriting here was at its peak, before Folklore came along.

[@jazbicego]

[@putyouon]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@melissaarmenta617]

SAME

[@AllTheArtsy]

Especially with ATW10 and even with OOTW, Taylor likes to reiterate that "I remember" and it really illustrates the emotional labor of memory and remembering that women are usually forced to singlehandedly undertake. She is claiming that she did not make up her own story. That these moments and emotions mattered, and that's why they are important enough for her to attempt to put down into words. Remembering is pretty much the thesis of Taylor's entire songwriting journey.

[@jazbicego]

@@AllTheArtsy I agree. I've just never heard a man admiting it out loud lol

[@leredheadkitty]

🤯

[@jidsylo]

I feel like 1989 (which the Taylor's Version will arrive on October 27 so you should check it out) had the most #1 hits. She had Blank Space, Shake It Off, Wildest Dreams, Bad Blood, Out Of The Woods, Style and almost all of those songs are known by everybody.

[@beccac6812]

If ever there was a crying album …

[@raylynne5280]

So in Taylor's life her boyfriend at the time didn't go to her 21st birthday and kind of ruined it for her, something most people are REALLY excited about for a good bit of their lives. That was basically the breaking point of their relationship and she was really hurt by it. That's why 22 is such an upbeat pop anthem, she decided to have her fun, to be excited for her birthday and the new year ahead and to forget about what happened the year before, it's kind of beautiful actually. 🥰

[@kaitlynwithakay]

These videos are great, but comments like these make them even better. I always thought 22 was so cheesy, but now I finally get it!

[@alyssafinke8573]

The fun piece of 22 to me is that Jake ruined her 21st birthday, so turning 22 to her felt like a celebration she missed. That storyline plays out later in The Moment I Knew

[@juanjeanjohnful]

WE NEED PART TWO IMMEDIATELY

[@enbrill]

Y’all will have to do the MV for 10 min version after you listen to it! Maybe in another video or maybe just on your own and let us know what you think. It’s really quite something! Also, as if 30 songs wasn’t enough, she also wrote two songs for the Hunger Games soundtrack during this era back in 2012. She did make Taylor’s version re-recordings of both of those if you’re interested! They were never on one of her albums, just the film soundtrack.

[@chelleymarie2129]

Not to mention one of those Hunger Games songs featured The Civil Wars who (ironically) had a very, VERY contentious band breakup and somehow Taylor was able to get them both to agree to being on the re-recording. I was shocked. Being a fan of The Civil Wars, I never thought I’d see the day, even for Taylor. I’m sure they recorded their parts separately and they were credited separately, but still, it was a big deal.

[@Violet316]

Taylor did a live rock version of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, it is very gritty.

[@efthalps]

I'M SO READY FOR THIS

[@aueakmnsn]

i really like state of grace i think everything in this song is perfect her vocals, the electric guitar the drums, lyrics. the more i listen to it the more i appreciate it

[@boutglo6853]

She made a masterpiece at just 22 years old

[@xjulha]

IM SO FUCKING READY FOR THIS OH MY GOD

[@grace5278]

Taylor has classified her songs as belonging to one of three categories based on the writing instrument she imagines herself holding while writing them: glitter gel pen, quill, and fountain pen. From what I can tell, you guys generally don’t like the glitter gel pen songs. Which is okay, they’re not for everyone. But for those of us who like them, they’re fun. They’re meant to make you want to dance and just enjoy yourself (22, WANEGBT, etc). The fountain pen songs are storytelling songs (All Too Well, Treacherous, I Almost Do, etc.). Most of her music is fountain pen songs. The quill songs use more antiquated/old fashioned language - most of these songs are on folklore/evermore (evermore, my tears ricochet, epiphany, Sad Beautiful Tragic, etc.). And I can’t remember if you guys have mentioned this in a past video, but on each album, Track 5 is known to be the most vulnerable and emotional track on the album (All Too Well, Dear John, my tears ricochet, tolerate it, etc). This was originally unintentional by her, but in the long pond studio sessions, she mentioned that there’s now some pressure around track 5’s because of the history. Track 5’s also tend to be favorites of many fans.

[@earlisonline]

great reaction! this is her strongest record before her folk eras. sonically over the place (in a good way, as it also represents the emotions of a person who was going through a breakup) but a solid testament to her songwriting skill (from the catchiest hooks to the poetic deep cuts). this also has the best set of vault songs so yeah… we look forward to the second part. it should be titled “CRYING AGAIN (AND AGAIN)” cause the tear jerkers are in the second half HAHAHA

[@sarae.8469]

I refuse to wait for part 2 for longer than ONE WEEK

[@shedaydreaming]

1989 is definitely the album with the most number 1s, i'm so looking forward to you guys reacting to it!!

[@Espi1502]

All too well is a masterpiece. I remember that the first time I heard these line "And you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest", I was like: How the hell she is able to manifest in word what It was so hard to figure out myself? I know it is a line about heartbreak, but for me, It really helped to understand the messed up behavior of some toxic relatives that hurt me with their toughness words just because "they were saying only the true". I always wonder, "How the hell does Stay Stay Stay appear on an album like Red?" And after listening to the gems on Red's Vault track, the feeling only intensifies. The Last time is one of the songs that I feel it sounds better in the original version, it feels more balanced than the TV. Still, a very underrated song than thanks to the re recording is having the attention it deserves it. As always, great reaction guys. Can't wait for the second part and 1989 TV.

[@madeleinehoward3418]

“And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest” is one of those lines that I’ll remember forever. So much emotion and so specific, but it’s something everyone can immediately relate to or understand how that would feel.

[@TiffaniWright23]

on her album Midnights she has a song called Maroon which is more of that melancholy feel than what you get from Red (the song). Red is like looking back at the relationship right after it ended. Maroon is more looking back years later and realizing everything wasn’t as bright and vibrant as you originally thought.

[@LuckyTurtle852]

[@megandelynn6114]

I recently realized the 2 reasons why i love watching male Taylor reactors- first, seeing your faces when you realize what an incredible Talent she is helps us old swifties to almost feel like we're getting to hear her genius for the first time again. But secondly is that this has become my crack especially when I get to see your faces when it got to the end of the short version of all too well. Watching the awe and the Wonder and the clear enjoyment of what you had just listened to just healed something in me and gives me hope for the future generation of men in this world! Thank you so much both of you for going in without having any knowledge of her work and just being so open to understanding it and learning about Taylor and her immense talent and being okay saying that!

[@marlikauffman4994]

The Lucky One is rumored to be about Joni Mitchell! Taylor has said the Red album was inspired by Joni’s album “Blue”. Taylor seems to be telling the story about Joni’s career and how she’s beginning to understand why large celebrities tend to choose to step away from the spotlight at some point in their career. And then Starlight was written about Ethel and Bobby Kennedy! Taylor actually briefly dated Connor Kennedy, their grandson

[@lexagirl]

It’s so great how open minded your dad is in listening to and appreciating all types of music that maybe he wouldn’t normally listen to, can’t say the same for mine LOL. Just wait til all too well 10 min version and you’ll really cry and have chills

[@penelope4899]

The reason she wrote 22 was because a man ruined her 21st birthday by not showing up. So she wrote a song about being 22 and going out with her friends. Just for some context!! Love your guys' videos!

[@madeleinehoward3418]

I have no idea how but I’d never heard The Moment I Knew until this rerelease (I bought the physical CD when it came out and it wasn’t the deluxe) but I feel like it gives 22 so much more context

[@Violet316]

Yes, she plays the banjo, piano, acoustic, electric, and 12-string guitars, and Ukulele. I think she has probably dabbled in other instruments, possibly drums.

in terms of number 1 hits, only 1989 has more than one (Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood). Red did give her first number 1 though with We Are Never Ever . She's hit #2 though several times and has had a lot of top ten hits. Red TV also got a #1 with All Too Well (specifically the ten minute version) i know this because im currently working on a chart tracking her history on the Billboard Hot 100

Enjoying your reactions. Her early co-writer Liz Rose mentioned in an interview that although Taylor didn't have a dramatic upbringing- what she did have was an imagination. One of the eras you mentioned about where her viewpoint of love reflected was the one her grandparents (mother's side) grew up in. She basically followed Marjorie's footprints in music.
