[@EtashaVats]

agreed! btw, i heard the backing vocals of the song, and it literally sounds like a voice memo cause u can hear her crying and that just breaks my heart 😭💔

[@VioletEmerald]

I agree, So Long London is a better track 5 for me and was a great choice. Maybe it's because of what I've personally experienced with the same guy who hurt me so deeply that I always would think of him when I heard the 5 min version of All Too Well. I don't relate quite as strongly to Loml even though both Loml and All Too Well have some themes in common. Something about So Long London is what really gets to me. And You're Losing Me. They are so great at capturing such a vibe of goodbye.

[@hew619]

I basically have to skip it bc it’s so painful, I agree with ally and it’s nice to hear other fans see how devastating it is. I recognize the beauty of songwriting and visceral but it’s too much for me to

I hate it when people say she's "unfairly complaining" or "being ungrateful" in ICDIWABH. She just broke up with her boyfriend of SIX YEARS while having to perform love songs about him every night. Of course she's gonna be heartbroken. If she moved on quickly and didn't write that song, people would still attack her for moving on too fast! Let her feel what she's feeling, just because she's a billionaire doesn't mean she can't be upset.

My unpopular opinion is I hate when people invalidate Taylor’s feelings like when people said certain songs shouldn’t be a track 5 have you ever thought that maybe she thought it deserved that because it was devastating for her. Also the constant complaining about how certain songs should be on the setlist she plays 44 songs she isn’t going to make the show like you want jsut because of you I can name countless reasons why debut isn’t on the setlist. Fans need to stop demanding more for her she has put out like 4 technically 5 albums since 2020 plus the tvs and the movie and possibly the other 2 tvs this year we could get we are spoiled and people always want more like grow up please.

[@EtashaVats]

AGREED!!!

[@NicholeParker]

Yeah, and what really bothers me is “So Long London” isn’t just about a man, but also a place that she loved and can never go back to I mean, “I’m just mad as hell cause I loved this place” I think can be used both for the relationship and the fact that, like she said in Cornelia Street, when things end in a serious relationship it can make you hate places you loved because they are tainted now

[@jumpingmacky]

@@NicholeParker I feel the same way! Especially since she used “London” in the song as a substitute for his name “so long london, you’ll find someone” “i’m just mad as hell cause i loved this place for so long” can refer to both the actual place, and joe, the person

[@embop1266]

the saddest line to me in so long london is “my friends said it isn’t right to be scared every day of a love affair”, it just really makes you wonder what she was going through. was she scared of him leaving, was she scared of taking up space, was she scared of getting into fights? and the fact that she can’t recognize the fact that their relationship isn’t right and is only saying what her friends told her. so so heartbreaking and vulnerable

[@ellie_mk07]

the way i digested that line was that she was scared she would start to move on/develop feelings for another person when she was still supposed to be faithful to this person you’re still technically in a relationship with. for me it kinda went along with fresh out the slammer if you interpret the slammer as her relationship with joe and her wanting to be with matty after getting out of that experience (btw i’m not hating or anything i love your thoughts i just wanted to yap 😭🩷)

[@embop1266]

[@CuriosityKilledThisCat]

@@ellie_mk07I love that interpretation! And it fits perfectly with how I view Guilty As Sin. In my opinion, the intro and outro “am I allowed to cry” in Guilty AS is Taylor asking if she’s allowed to cry over her current relationship (with Joe) while she’s already wanting someone else (Matty). It’s her being like, “am I allowed to cry over the death of my current relationship even though I want to be out of it and with someone else?”

[@cassieopea]

honestly i took it as joe was suicidal. "every breath feels like the rarest air when you're not sure if he wants to be there". a lot of the songs allude to joe being really depressed, and to add onto that, he played nick in conversations with friends and said he really related to the mental health aspect of nick. nick was in and out of mental hospitals with suicide attempts

The begging for MORE new albums, and the last 2 taylors versions especially right after we just got a new album is disrespectful to Taylor and Tortured Poets.

No amount of money or fame should mean you’re not allowed to feel sad, or feel pain. She is allowed to feel pain. Even if someone has more pain, it doesn’t make your pain less.

Precisely. The second you start gatekeeping pain is the second you invite people to gatekeep *your* pain for whatever reason they can come up with. Money protects people from a LOT, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't protect you from everything (and also causes some unique issues). To say rich people experience NO pain or hardship at ALL is to deny reality.

Falling in love with a plsce and then having to leave it because things have changed. But your feelings towards that place are still so strong. Like loosing a home qwq

[@nickybull2361]

This is the part of the song where I start crying, every time I

[@Laef_dream]

Ok, here’s how I think of it: TTPD has a bunch of songs that could be track 5: loml, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, also the Black Dog if it was in the front half. HOWEVER, So Long London has had such an impact as to how vulnerable yet angry it is, Taylor is just spitting the truth she wanted to hide since Lover. Is So Long,London the best pick for TTPD’s track 5? I don’t know, but does it work as a track 5? HELL YES. Plus, I think that there is no song that screams Joe on this record as much as SLL, so I also find it emblematic for the album that concludes the Jaylor of it all

[@RevBTB]

IMO the whole album is her inner monologue since debut. she wrote a self induced "O" song for christs sake... lol

[@H.N.-ue5kz]

I also think that maybe she did not want a Matty song as a Track 5 both on TTPD as well as TTPD: The Anthology. It could also just not fit in her timeline of things, the feeling of loml came later after Fresh out the Slammer, Guilty as Sin?, Florida!!! and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can). Just as The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived came after loml since the anger over his actions came after the sadness she felt because of them. So to kind of close the relationship with Joe with So long London and then explore her relationship with Matty makes sense. And yes to your points as well. So many songs are Track 5 worthy!!!

[@claaaaaara]

So Long, London is also the most complex when it comes to her feelings. She's sad and angry and grieving and so done. It makes sense that it's a track 5, it's when she feels it all simultaneously. There are other vulnerable songs, Taylor's always vulnerable, but So Long, London is like she's trying to make sense of all in just one song

[@TheBlissfulReactions]

I couldn’t agree more about So Long London. I've always found the fandoms opinion of track 5 to be so interesting. It seems to be a popular opinion that SLL isn't the best track 5, and to that I say, who are we to say what a track 5 should be? Track 5 isn't ours, it's Taylor's. When she places a song there, she's telling us something. She's placing her most emotionally jarring song there, not ours. With that said, I think SLL is the perfect track 5. I think the breakdown of a 6 year relationship is massively complex and confusing and drawn out... it's much easier to write about an intense 2 week situationship than it is to peel back all of the layers of a longterm relationship and expose yourself to the feelings about a relationship you thought was the last one... the forever. And if we really think about it, the rest of the album is a result of her leaving that relationship, wanting something entirely different, and realizing she threw yourself head first into something that was ultimately similar to the last. I think for track 5 to be directly linked to Joe, when the rest of the album is either pointedly about Ratty Matty and/or a mixture of the 2... well, yes. Is that not the ultimate track 5? Is that not her saying hey, l'm distracting you with all of this chaos over here, but don't you see.... the ending of my life in/with London was actually the most devastating thing to have happened to me?

[@NovaCelestia]

I 100% agree with you that it's important to appreciate the present aka TTPD era and not ask for more. Let's trust her and when she'll be ready, she will give us the next one. This amount of pressure is challenging mentally. I'm a writer, and I see it too in my community. "Where's the next chapter? The next book?" ... when you just gave them one is frustating. Just be patient & appreciate what you have now. 🥺

[@lenaolishevska4070]

I agree with you but in defence of people who do it Taylor loves to hint on the new album or project when she’s barely done with the previous one. So for regular people we can be like I bet it’s exhausting having fans demanding more, but I feel like Taylor might actually like it

[@macyschrepel]

3:44 another note about what makes so long London so devastating and the perfect track 5 is the fact that it’s the only song on the original track list that can be confirmed to be about him, and the only other song in any of it that obviously is about him is How Did It End, aka track 5 on the Anthology

I think people took ‘I can do it with a broken heart’ waaaay to personally, I don’t think she was necessarily saying the fans were forcing her to do “more” she was saying that despite her being absolutely broken hearted “& no one even knows”… she was still able to get out there & perform every night & record new music at the same time - also Taylor plans years ahead, she would have already had all the re-records penciled in her diary before we even knew about them, she is not the type to be forced into anything imo 💅🏻✨

[@cc1526]

Literally. The people who were *scared* to sing “more” during I can do it with a broken heart as to not offend her were so cringy to me cause I think if Taylor knew a portion of the fan base were actually contemplating NOT singing a line she wrote and 100% expected us to chant with her (since she seems to love all the other fan chants) I feel like it’d break her heart to think we took it so personally when us screaming more is what kept her going through all this heartbreak.

[@Hannah-sw2gm]

I think some people should take the „More“-Line personally, because asking for rep and debut tv when ttpd just came out is mean and disrespectful. And Taylor has the absolute right to criticize that by calling some of us out. Just because we as fans are the reason she can be doing all of this, does not mean she can’t be angry or sad about fan behavior. I know that it’s definitely not all fans but I saw it a lot on TikTok and taylornations Instagram, so she probably also saw it.

[@MissJaney82]

I 100% agree with the person submitting the opinion about pushing the new albums even though the newest one is barely out. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a massive Re girlie and cannot wait for TV.

same w hozier! im trying to memorize songs for the concert so I don't get judged but like that's a lot of words!

[@BRIANNA7660]

Great knowing the LOOP earplugs!! Genius! I recently started traveling and I was using my airpods for noise cancelling (even playing nothing on my phone) they are brilliant. Omg and that cut when you're using them in the plane........ had to watch that twice!! Great editing!!

[@SaraIsFangirling]

People who think So Long, London isn’t the track 5 simply can’t relate to that feeling and that level of hurt, and that’s honestly good for them, but not reading through the pain just because it’s not a more momentary or explosive heartbreak is just silly to me. The feeling of trying SO HARD to make something work and have your dreams come true and then slowly watching it break down and knowing you tried everything and there was nothing you could do to stop it is far worse and way deeper than an average heartbreak.

[@sarahdeason-hw1yv]

Honestly, I think So Long London being a track 5 shows how Taylor feels about it. Which to me says a lot.

[@carly1628]

15:00 - im definitely not in a rush for more albums by any means, however i think it's more than just taylor having spoiled us... the marketing teams urges us to look for easter eggs. you can't create a fandom like that and expect them to well... not do that. although i don't think it's right that people demand anything from her, i don't know that i agree telling people to settle. as you said, they created the monster lmao.

My biggest unpopular opinion (and wildest dream) is that Taylor is going to put Debut on the Eras Tour as an Era when the rerecord is out 🥹

[@RevBTB]

timestamp 20:45 so i remember seeing a documentary about an older concert and in it they were using a cart on a track under the stage to move her fast which makes me think this same kinda thing is being used to get her from the dive to her costume change in just a few seconds and what we see displayed on the stage graphic is actually a video representation where they can just digitally change the color of her dress to match what she wears. timestamp 34:26 if we like the songs about joe jonas (mr 3 months) and taylor lautner (the one who got away) -WE BEST LEAVE MR KELCE OUT OF THIS CONVERSATION and enjoy miss swifts happiness and let her be in her feels for a minute.

[@Gafafsg]

32:15 To me the album cover border looks like matting, like it’s been framed and hung in a museum. Fits the artsy dramatic vibes of all the marketing, I like it. I also generally like more than just a photo on an album cover which I know not everyone agrees with.

I agree Ally, how dare she not put Guilty As Sin on the setlist 😭😭 it’s my favorite song on the standard album!! Also, I got loops for the concert based on your recommendation but took them out cause I felt they muted the music too much. Her vocals were fine but the music didn’t hit as hard 😕

[@pasta101girl6]

Did you have an hearing loss or anything? I’m worried because I don’t have loops, and I’m going to the Eras Tour soon.

[@livelaughlove5012]

ACC to me , 1989 is her best album sonically and evermore/folklore lyrically

[@alexnicole6806]

1989 is her best sonically and folkmore is her best lyrically (can’t choose, they’re both incredible)

[@20xoxoPS]

For me, 'loml' hit me way more than 'So Long, London' but you said it correctly that SLL was way more personal to her. OKAY BUT loml BRIDGE THO- and really people always expect Taylor to write some Shakespeare sonnet shit all the time, like my girlie just wrote a cute high school (LITERALLY THE NAME SAYS SO HIGH SCHOOL) lyric "Touch me while your bros play GTA" and people questioned her lyricism😭😭 For me, 'Midnights' is her best sonically album (and my fav album!) and 'folklore' lyrcist wise. AND YES THE ANTHOLGY'S COVER>>>TTPD MAIN COVER

[@abubble617]

okay ally your take on so long london was genuinely SO beautiful and made me see that song in a completely different light 😭

[@emmyxb94]

Run and go listen to the album Ally, it’s only 30ish minutes long and so good 😫🤩

[@thehopefulheliophile]

I love TTPD so much but Deeper Well is definitely my favorite album of the year so far, it’s so good!

[@sarafreitas6988]

I agree with you on So Long London, for example, Exile is not the saddest song of Folklore, Ephiphany is (13). Same thing with Lover, the track 5 is the Archer but the gut wrenching song is Soon You'll Get Better (12). So loml (12) follows that tradition. :D As a fan of all her albums, after listening each album at least 10 times: Lyrics - Speak Now Sound - Evermore

[@im.am.mirrorball]

Hearing people say so long London isn’t even sad while it’s one of the 4 ts songs I can’t listen without crying is just wow. The other three are wcs, how did it end and Peter. Also I’m obsessed with your eyeshadow 🫶🫶

[@missmusic4951]

I can only imagine that the people who say SLL isn't sad have never had a relationship last longer than six months

[@hazywildflower22]

YES about Speak Now’s lyricism!!! long live is one of the only songs that I genuinely cry to EVERY time I listen to it 🥲 the lyrics never lose their beauty.

[@bethell13]

Ally is there ever an unpopular opinion you haven’t shared because you disagree with it so much?? i love you

haha no those are the most fun to react to 😉

[@charlotte.e.s]

ahhh tysm for reacting to mine ilysm!! (I was the one about not rushing rep tv and ts12) and yes I agree so much with everything that you said. ppl really underestimate how hard it is to make so much music and put it all out there and do advertising and planning and everything that goes into a drop - go be excited for gracie's new album tbh like even if u not a fan, taylor is on it therefore it is technically new taylor music lols! and a reminder: midnights dropped on October 21 2022 and SNTV was announced on May 5, 2023, that's like 6 months between and people already want music after one month? like I understand I want rep tv too, but not this soon :) anyway love you ally

[@Suprachiasmatic]

Ally, you are spot on. WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEARING! Take this from me, a 42 year old person who can barely hear anything now because of concerts. It might not seem damaged at the time but it catches up with you later! I have a pair of Loops and I love them! I am in graduate school and live on a really busy street so I use them when I'm studying a lot, they're very comfy!

[@Lennyk07]

[@downrighteerie17]

The Loop sponsorship is SO SICK!!! I used the Loop Experience Plus for the first time at my Eras Tour date and loved them so much I have become an evangelist to my entire social circle. Highly highly encourage anyone who attends concerts even once a year to get them.

[@lmcmahon5348]

I think So Long London is track 5 because not only is it sad but they also used to write sad songs together so it’s sort of a dedication to that part of her love for Joe and the relationship

[@PaigeJohnson-dt1xp]

Hi Ally!! I would absolutely love to watch a video where you rank all the track ones, from your least to favorite. It would be so fun and less stressful then ranking every song. You only have to rank 11 songs, and doing that until the albums run out of songs. Or maybe you could separate tortured poets from the anthology, so you would be able to incorporate those beautiful works of art. Also I know you would love another way to share you unpopular opinions by ranking these songs, and I would just find it so entertaining! Just a random thought! Have a great day, and I also absolutely lovee your top!

[@flickphillips7892]

"Happiness is only real if it is shared with someone." - I love your quote. It's hard to describe loneliness to someone who doesn't understand it. I completely agree with your thoughts on I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. You always hear people say they'd be alot happier if they were millionaires. I love that you love Red and Treacherous! They're my favourites! I would keep Tolerate It and Long Live too and cut Champagne Problems. It's just not my favourite. I'd cut Delicate and replace it with I Did Something Bad or Getaway Car. Erm but then I'd have to cut something else. Maybe Midnight Rain. Lyrically I'd say Folklore or The Anthology part of The Tortured Poet's Department. Sonically Red.

[@livlaughcone]

Allie!!! I’m currently reading Into the Wild rn (honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read) and it was all I could think about when you were talking about money not relating to happiness… so imagine my shock when you brought up Into the Wild hahahaha!

[@simonnader8173]

i get so excited every time u mention Treacherous cause it's my fav Taylor song of all time🥰

[@jhoaaa]

THANK YOU for saying that about So Long, London. That song feels like fighting a storm it just doesn’t give you a single second to gather yourself. Her vocals are enough proof as to why it deserves the Track 5 title. It’s vulnerable, heart wrenching, angry, and devastating. I believe the lyric “And you say I’ve abandoned the ship but I was going down with it, my white-knuckled dying grip” sums up the song to me, it just destroys me. On another note, it just baffles me how people are pushing rep’s re-recording. I feel like she’s been very clear over the past years on how they are released. Fearless & Red 2021, Midnights 2022, Speak Now & 1989 2023, and finally TTPD 2024. It seems a bit obvious at this point 😭

[@rs02011988]

I'm so happy you agree that So Long London is a great track 5! So validating when everywhere I look people have been critical of it. Have you heard the theory that Robin could be about Taylor's hypothetical future child? How her team will have to keep the secret about her fame in sweetness. It's my favorite theory. Such a beautiful song.

[@Evie849]

Hey Ally, personally I think midnights 💙 is her best album sonically but ✨folklore ✨is her best album lyrically. Although, the lyricism in evermore is so underrated too! Plus, I’m still mourning the loss of the tolerate it performance 😭🧡. The song is so incredible and probably her best track 5 (in competition with my tears ricochet) but the way she performed it on tour was so incredible and moving. I’m going to one of the Wembley shows in August with my mum and I can’t wait! 💕✨ (PS. I love your shirt/dress it’s so cute!) x

As an Autistic girly born with hearing loss, I loooooove my loops. I was told by doctors at a young age that I can be around anything louder than a lawn mower without ear protection so loops are perfect for that! But also with my sensory issues my loops feel like someone is gently covering my ears with their hands and it makes me feel so much calmer

[@G.enevieve]

I saw Chappell Roan last night and wore my Loop earplugs!! So happy you got a sponsorship with them because they really are SO GREAT for concerts. I can’t imagine going to a concert without them. Still able to hear everything without the headache the next day.

when debut tv arrives, firstly i'd love hear that country twang again. i know she's still got it, we heard a preview of it in ibytam and when she performed iomwiwy hehe. also imagine her changing her street style alongside debut tv's release like a cowboy hat and all loll

[@ilkavanschalkwyk9558]

This was great fun as always! Just on the border of the album cover, I am convinced that the album aesthetic and many of the references lyrically are inspired by Patti Smith's Just Kids. The photos are printed to look like Mapplethorpe images and the cover looks so similar to the Just Kids cover. The photo with the border and then even the font is the same as the one used for the Just Kids cover. It's really cool once you start decoding the Patti Smith Just Kids references along with everything else. It just adds another layer. Also cannot agree more with the acronyms my mind is rubbish at them and i normally have to google them🤣

[@AnjeannetteMarie]

As a fan, I’m grateful for the smorgasbord of deliciousness we’ve received in the past 4 years but if I knew her personally, I would be begging her to take a break. I can see the Eras era being her mid-career finale, her taking off 10 years to have some beautiful Taylor babies and then coming back with new material for the latter part of her career.

[@richmaxmchalliwchester1984]

i don´t think she would ever take a break for more than 2 years. Taylor is a workoholic, she loves her job and there´s nothing that could stop her from doing it, not even having babies - she probably wouldn´t go on tour until they were like 3-4 but she still would release music consistently.

[@AnjeannetteMarie]

@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 I agree that she’ll ALWAYS be writing and might drop LPs or even an album but I hope for her personal life, she keeps touring to a minimal or maybe limited on a smaller scale like she was planning for Lover Fest. Of course, she always surprises me so I’ll take whatever she wants to give but I just worry about her personal emotional/ mental health, I want her to be happy and not feeling pressured with the crowd always chanting MORE!

[@BookNomming]

See I agree as she worked during that time we thought she had a break. But don’t agree with the babies comment because we should never assume that is something she wants or can have

[@deborahlee3484]

I love the question of which album is the best sonically and lyrically! I chose folklore for lyrically and red for sonically, then felt very validated hearing you choose those as well! 👏

[@gabiipamplona]

As somebody who would only be present on the european leg, missing long live made me very sad because it just makes me emotional just like listening to the first drums on fearless. I was on lisbon N2 and when she started long live I immediately sobbed. So here are the songs that I’d cut to listen to long live as it deserves to be heard: - the man - you need to calm down - bad blood - wildest dreams - I knew you were trouble - enchanted - delicate - down bad - bejeweled - lavender haze - willow I had a blast throughout the whole night listening to as it is now, but long live will always have a special spot in my heart just like the whole speak now album that deserved more on the tour
