[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

Yes her voice is beautiful but her lyricism is what makes her phenomenal, especially when you know the context - her life’s work being sold out from underneath her to someone who actively bullied and tried to break her 💔

[@ellieandthetorts]

Hey! new to your channel but the full version of the long pond sessions is amazing, if you do any more of them please get the versions with the little explanation beforehand. It would give someone totally new to taylor a bit of backstory! This is about her old manager scott borchetta who she was super close to for years, who she left & he sold her masters to scooter braun. But the explanation beforehand is worth seeing even if its not on screen xx

[@Strangering-i6x]

Hi I'm an ARMY and a SWIFTIE. Just like BTS' songs, their lyrics need context. This is actually quite a sad song of betrayal.

[@wyogirl]

Please please go see the Eras movie…she makes these epic productions too

[@shannonperkins9906]

The best way to describe her voice in this one is "hauntingly beautiful."

“She’s a real storyteller isn’t she?” 😂 He has no idea yet. 😂 A fan favorite and one of her best stories is All Too Well 10 minute version.

[@reginamaigret838]

Omg yes, the 10 min version is an absolute MUST

If you want to react to a music video/short film, definitely react to the All Too Well 10 minute version video.

[@katsa6052]

Hits right in the heart

[@Jkm7fh]

Back story: Taylor’s former label was started by Scott Borchetta, and she was his first client. They spent years together building each other’s careers and investing in each other both professionally and personally. They were like family to each other. She wanted to buy her masters but he agreed only if she agreed to a shit deal that would prolong the process and keep her tied to the label, so she walked away. In retaliation, he sold her catalog of masters to some dude named Scooter who had a history of bullying Taylor. It was a betrayal to her. “You turned into your worst fears” was because he had originally created the label because he didn’t like how major labels ran their business. “You hear my stolen lullabies” are her first six albums that she is reclaiming through re-recording them.

[@HaydenSmithElevate]

Thank you for summing this up perfectly! 🩵

[@Violet316]

The jewels she gave Scott were her albums that went gold, platinum, and diamond.

[@GOTGames]

I never would have thought that, the amount of pain she feels 😢 so sad! ❤️

[@carolla_michelle]

@@GOTGamesFolklore has lots of sadness relating to the loss of her albums. Her music is so personal and deep that losing access to her masters must have hurt so much Another interesting take on this song is that each line of the chorus relates to each of her stolen albums I didn’t have it in myself to go with Grace (State of Grace - Red) And your the hero flying around saving face (Superman - Speak Now) And if I’m dead to you why are you at the wake (LWYMMD - Reuptation) Cursing my name (TWYLM - Fearless), wishin I stayed (AYHTDWS - 1989) Look at how my tears ricochet (Teardrops on my Guitar - debut) Loving your reactions. Thank you for being so open minded

[@nancylacroix7116]

Wow thank you for those insight! Makes much more sense and adds to the sense of the song.

[@DreaAnnTW]

It’s a TRACK 5. She typically reserved track five on each album for her most personal and meaningful songs. They’re special!!!

[@baileychicks2]

we all get emotional listening to Taylor. she’s got such a way of writing that’s so personal, but speaks to so many people. it’s brilliant!

Perfect. ❤

[@christinalehane736]

You guys are giving this man whiplash going from Reputation to Folklore 😭

[@angela2k1]

Track 5 of every album is what Taylor considers her most emotional songs on each album. Any time you see track 5 on one of her songs, be forewarned that you *will* be hit in the feels. Love your reactions and I'm glad to see yet another creator realize how amazing Taylor is as an artist

Taylor's catalog is so incredibly diverse. She is a master storyteller, lyricist, performer. It's so fun to see people who have only known her big radio hits, and written her off as that stereotype, delve a little deeper and realise what fans have known for a long time!

[@Txanaplays1]

Learn the stories behind these songs, it’s pure poetry. Her lullabies were her stolen songs - her manager sold her songs without telling her at all. He had been with her since she was about 13 so it really hurt her. That song is letting him know - her tears - hurt her but they will also, hurt him.

[@jennnnylala]

I love watching the beginnings of someone's Swiftie journey. I wish I could hear music for the first time all over again.

[@Debbie-m7f]

[@MySunshine0315]

My tears ricochet is my FAVORITE Taylor Swift song. Every single time it pulls me in. Thank you for reminding me how amazing it is.

[@jkmacrunnel]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Folklore was her first pandemic album. She wrote the whole thing (17 tracks) with producers Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff in 4 months, and they recorded it separately in their homes. She surprised dropped it, no one knew it was coming. She told her label a week before it dropped. Its very different to what she had done before. Later that year, the same team surprise dropped the sister album, Evermore. So 2 new albums dropped in 2020, with a whole new sound. They are stunning, and part of the reason she's become so popular. This studio session is on Disney Plus. Its her, Jack, and Aaron all at Aaron's studio, Longpond. The first time they could all get together after the pandemic, and they sat and recorded the whole album for us. Its so awesome, because its even more stripped back than the album. Its worth listening to the whole album, then watching Longpond. They also talk about each song a little bit. This is one of her best written songs for sure.

[@Jkm7fh]

Your reaction is beautiful! The order that you are reacting to these songs are perfect. We have to hit you with Reputation to knock out any preconceived notions about who she is, then we switch gears and smack over the head with her lyricism that shred you. Taylor’s talent spans genres and audiences, and I appreciate so much your openness and authenticity.

[@IvyCowboy]

Completely agree with this. There's artistic talent in guiding new listeners down the rabbit hole.

[@randystalnaker6700]

Amen

[@GOTGames]

Thank you all of you for joining me on this journey and being so welcoming! It's really making it so much fun ❤️

[@katch2511]

You really have to listen to the lyrics with Taylor, especially in folklore and evermore. Also, if you don’t know the context of this song, it won’t make sense. This is about Scott Borchetta and how he sold her music to Scooter Braun. This is the reason she is re-recording everything.

[@celinelovell4725]

This song breaks my heart

[@TaterCot]

I do think context helps, but I don't know that I agree that the song won't make sense without it. The emotion of the song is understood. All the heartache Taylor felt writing it and singing it comes through. He felt it and understood it despite not knowing the circumstances behind its creation. And I think that's what makes a really incredible songwriter and performer! If the only people who were able to connect to her music were Swifties, I don't know that she would be considered among the greatest songwriters. It would make her inaccessible to new fans. I like to think that learning.about the inspiration for the song just makes it more fun to analyze the lyrics and leads to some really great Ah-ha! moments. But I think the amazing thing about Taylor is her ability to connect with all kinds of listeners!

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

That’s not exactly true. If you don’t know the context the song still makes sense on its own and can be enjoyed however you interpret it… it just gives another layer when you know the backstory

[@heyitsddiaries]

A fellow metalhead and swiftie here! I became a fan of both metal and Taylor in the same year about 15 years ago so I'm happy to see other metalheads appreciate her too. Vigilante Shit next, please! (both studio and Eras Tour version :D)

[@bethspindler8880]

Same!! I’m a huge metalhead… but also a swiftie! Do you like I Prevail’s cover of Blank Space?

[@bethspindler8880]

Oh, and I agree with him needing to see Era’s Vigilante Shit!!!

[@elizabethjulia20]

Sending him from rep to folklore?! wow, no mercy hahaha.

[@SwiftieXinfinity]

Scott Borchetta from Big Machine Records is the person this song is about, she trusted him explicitly and had been there since she was a teenager. Her tears from what he did with her albums being sold out from under her have become his tears now. She has metaphorically buried him by re-recording all of her albums, therefore making sure she gets the profits for those previous albums.

[@jsunnydaze]

It's really refreshing and endearing to see someone who experiences the way I experience emotions and puts that honesty out there. You don't have to know the meaning behind the song to read the signs on her face, hear it in her breath and her notes, to empathetically know the feelings are there and feel them too, all the way down to your soul -- and they come out immediately as tears. It took me years to understand I'm not a wimp, I'm not a crybaby. I just feel things so powerfully that they burst forth, and i love seeing that in someone else. Loving your Swift reactions.

[@GOTGames]

❤️❤️

[@_rat_5758]

“We gather stones never knowing what they’ll mean, some to throw, some to make a Diamond ring” one of my fav Taylor lyrics ever. So underrated. My god that lyric is so powerful

[@edpotter1170]

She sounded emotional because this song is personal to her. She explained in the interview right before this performance that she was recently betrayed by somebody she trusted (referring to her former record label, specifically Scott Borchetta who's like a father figure to the young Taylor) and she wrote the song and changed the context to a divorced couple who's at each other's throat after splitting.

[@ceciliaarvidsson269]

”What now” is ALL TOO WELL. PLEEEEEASE do All Too Well.

[@HaydenSmithElevate]

Yes! I would recommend starting with this version kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4C0c3eag62gjtEsi=Y8LAWSmscPc4ygpp There is also a 10 minute version of this song, but you may as well start with the original the same way we did, then get to experience the extended cut later

[@amycoleman3688]

Omgsh! Your discovering Taylor is my new favorite thing. Your emotion is so genuine and refreshing. I am so excited to watch this journey. Thank you so much for allowing the witness. We Swifties spend so much energy trying to get non listeners to at least give her a chance. Your open mind is bringing me so much joy. I’m sure All Too Well is on your list already. I recommend the lyric video for the 10 minute version first, then watch the MV, which she wrote and directed. A personal favorite, but one that doesn’t get a lot of reactions is evermore. It really helped me during a recent mental health struggle. It’s a very healing song to me. This is me trying is another good one. Thanks again for the heartfelt reaction. You’re 3 for 3!!! 😊

[@IvyCowboy]

evermore is one of my top Taylor songs ever, and I have a similar connection with it. Peace and The Lakes from Long Pond are my favorites as well. This is gonna be so fun! :)

[@tytell77]

Love Evermore! The song of hope

[@kerrichristian7991]

My new favorite thing on earth is watching you get teary-eyed about Taylor swift songs! It’s just so wholesome!! I think you might like her Delicate or Ready For it music videos!

If you’re doing one of her official videos then do THE MAN. It’s so fun. EXILE from the Long Pond Session set will leave you feeling it for long after the song ends.

[@Inessss_]

Yes!!! Please react to Exile, it’s just so incredible

[@ThisIsNotAnExit86]

[@mannypelayo7370]

As a newer swiftie “Exile” definitely hit me in places I didn’t know were there. The long pond version is the one

[@keepyourmindopen]

One of my favorite pastimes is watching people who dismissed Taylor for whatever reason (no judgement) give her a chance and realize why she has cultivated the fandom she has. She is a remarkable genre defying artist, songwriter, storyteller, musician, performer etc. and is also humble, kind, generous and funny.

[@tiarisoutter7889]

I know many reactors like to go in blind when they're listening to Taylor's songs, but once you know the meaning behind them and why she wrote them, it elevates the lyrics and her emotions 100 times over. She is truly amazing and I think this is one of her best songs. Love your reactions!

[@jessie_souza]

This song makes me think about my relationship with my parents. I moved out of their house a few months ago and the verse “And I can go anywhere I want, Anywhere I want, just not home” always hits me cause it's exactly how I felt. And I still feel that way. Listening to Taylor is like my daily free therapy and I feel so grateful that she exists.

[@mffl0413]

I grew up in a very toxic family system with a narcissistic mother…I went no contact almost 2 years and this song always hits me too. This and Clean are my therapy songs. Hugs. 🫂

She started writing professionally at 14 years old. Look it up! She’s so real that every song is about her own life.

[@MindyRRD6760]

This whole Long Pond session is so damn amazing. Trying & Exile are just 🤯😭

[@aidenrushing9841]

Also, her track fives are ALWAYS the big emotional gut-wrenching soul-aching songs.

[@aidenrushing9841]

You should also be made aware, if you weren't already, that she has written or co-written every single song she's every made. Which is think makes her even more incredible.

[@Tyler_Reacts]

Her performance of this song from the Eras Tour absolutely wrecked me. Same with Tolerate It. I hope that after the tour leaves theaters, it will make its way to streaming services. Truly an insane show.

[@MBella123]

She’s an amazing storyteller, her lyrics are something else

[@NYandAZ]

This is my favorite album and I definitely prefer the Long Pond Studio Sessions. I think of it as her therapy sessions and that’s possibly why she named it that. Her track 5 will NEVER disappoint.

[@Freijana]

The version of this song from the eras tour is moredramatic, they feel so different and i love them both soo much, both of them just capture her pain of losing the rights to her early albums and the betrail in that soo well.

[@Freijana]

Also if you like that, i highly recomend the Performance of the song evermore from the eras tour, its one of my favorit accoustic song of hers

[@meganzor-el3601]

wow these videos make me feel like im hearing taylor for the first time..

[@Lizbethann11]

You should do the extended versions of all the long pond studio sessions because she gives you the story behind each song. Amazing

[@MichelleWhitehead-y8j]

The first time I heard this song, I was literally weeping. Uncontrollably. So much so, my cats were worried about me. Kitties and Crybabies … such a proud Taylor moment. 🐈💧💧🐈‍⬛

[@kerricoghill4824]

You mention that she’s feeling every word. She is. She writes everything she sings and most of her songs are very personal. Most of her songs have real stories to go with the song. She’s said numerous times that her lyrics and the stories she tells are the thing she’s most proud of.

[@MissAmeROCKana]

Your face at 2:50 is exactly how I felt when I first heard it. This song is why I started my tiktok.

[@Burketag]

She has touched and slayed almost every genre

[@issofsar]

Now you know why so many people love her! She is a true musical genius.

[@evnhorses-international]

I LOVE your reactions to Taylor Swift... you need to do more of them!!! If this song really touched you then I HIGHLY recommend her album Folklore and Evermore (folklore more though!)

[@Hey_Jamie]

Can’t remember if I explained this one or I probably did but I also send you paragraphs at a time about her so it could’ve gotten….. lost in the *pond* HA! This song is about her first six albums being stolen from her. Scott Borchetta refusing to sell her the masters and selling them to scooter Braun instead. Which is why she’s been re-recording and rereleasing them. So she can own her _jewels_ once again.

[@justinegriffin152]

I love when people discover Taylor and all her versions of music. She’s unbelievably talented and an amazing writer, singer , director and much more

[@alcap-z5d]

[@shyliaa8]

You’re going to feel like this with each song. It doesn’t stop.

[@adamwassim9666]

not them recommanding my tears ricochet after reputation performances 😭😭😭😭 this is a rollercoaster of emotions. this song is from a alternative album not really dark high synth pop like she used to do ; released in 2020 called folklore most of the song there are fictional that she invented ! and later on that year she released this documentary of live version of those song on the long pond studios. it was covid so there was no crowd ...etc Great reaction ❤

[@angelareeves5563]

I know right? What is wrong with us?!?

[@laurabella13]

This is one of her best songs. You should watch the whole longpond sessions

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I like how the long pond gives like.. another layer of meaning to the regular studio recordings. “Look at how my tears Turn into your tears” Is not in the original but fills in thet gap of why her tears *ricochet* whereas it’s never really spelled out in the original version WHY she chose that word specifically

[@MissAmeROCKana]

Agreed, I love that addition in this version. I understood it before LPSS, but it’s so heartbreaking when she spells it out here.

[@oliviax7380]

12:30 about each of Taylor’s steps having a meaning - absolutely yes! you’d be floored by the way she walks/marches to *this* song during the eras tour. it’s nothing like you’ve seen before but so powerful and haunting, with a full concert production and backup performers. It might be a while until the eras tour movie is available to stream but it’s a must-watch (and react!) no matter where you are in your TS journey; she performs songs from all of her albums and truly shows off her versatility. it’s almost 3hrs long, but worth every second

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

the thing is Taylor Swift is an entire world with different landscapes and that what turns you into a swiftie as once you enter you never need to leave. she's singer, writer and visual artist too, she builds an entire world and its a trip ❤

[@whiskeysfoxtrot824]

They say anything you've been through or felt, taylor swift has a song that will perfectly put that feeling into words.

[@Vesp3r1987]

she will be on tour in the UK next June btw

[@HaydenSmithElevate]

Taylor processes her emotions by writing songs, so most tracks on her albums are entirely about her life, experiences, and feelings. I'd love to hear your thoughts on 'Dear John' kzbin.info/www/bejne/ane0dKOJnJtooLcsi=KnhHkP5-_VIgeXY8 Dear John is the 5th track on her 3rd album 'Speak Now' from 2010 This is a live performance from her Speak Now tour This song describes what Taylor felt during her relationship with John Mayer - they dated while she was 19 and he was 32. (Edited to change the link to the tour version rather than the lyric video, as recommended below)

[@cassyf1949]

Oh yeah, I would love to see him react to this song. Especially the version from the Speak Now Tour. It's so sassy :D

[@enchanted.bywords]

You would totally love the documentary miss americana, there you really get to know her personality and a lot of the things that happend to her.

[@StephanieSmith1990]

I think the biggest testament to Taylor Swift's ability is that, not only was she the first woman to win album of the year 3 times at the Grammy's, she won in 3 different genres. So many people only think of her as who she was when she was 19 but she's SO much more. Love watching you realize this! These videos have been such a gem. I know Taylor would feel honored to see you getting so emotional over all the songs.

[@carked5707]

There is a taylor song for any mood

[@Violet316]

As some have stated, this is about her record label, she had been with Scott Borchetta since she was 16, and she was really close to him. When she asked to buy her first 6 albums back, he offered that for every new album she made she would get one old one back, tying her to him for quite a long time. She walked, and then Scott turned around and sold them to Scooter Braun, a person she detested. Her stolen lullabies, and the jewels she gave Scott were her albums that went gold, platinum, and diamond.

[@clansome]

The rabbit hole will just get deeper and deeper, believe me. Oh and she's #1 on singles and album charts, again, both here and in the USA, as well as multiple other countries around the world. Great to hear a Brit reacting !

[@clansome]

btw the lyrics and music were written by Taylor. It was produced by Taylor, Jack Antonoff (piano player) and her then boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Folklore and Evermore were her COVID albums.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I’ve always liked Taylor Swift since I first heard Teardrops on My Guitar but I never considered myself a Swifty and didn’t really follow her life or anything. Then more recently I told someone I wasn’t really a Swifty and she was like “really you talk about her all the time!” And so I started digging in. There are so many songs of hers I still don’t know. I didn’t know that she disappeared for two years or whatever before reputation because her music was still playing. I didn’t know she went into isolation. I didn’t know about kanye and “famous” and Kim and the snake thing … I didn’t know about Gaylord and her friendships with Katie Perry and Selina Gomez and her love of books and greys anatomy and her cats. Or scooter brawn or Jake G. I didn’t know any of that *last year*

[@jasonmepham6757]

Such a beautiful and emotional song which this performance totally gives it justice. And her sigh at the end. Oh man....

[@Kimberfae]

Taylor is like no other artist! Enjoy your journey exploring her wonder ❤

[@Macadamia__Nut]

The record label guy Scott, was more than just a label executive to her. They were close friends and she built his label from the ground up. She was the 1st and biggest artist on the label. When he decided he wanted to sell he tried to trap her on the label. When that didnt work he sold her out to one of the men responsible for the Kanye mess. It devastated her because they were friendly and he fully understood how much it would hurt her.

[@elaineirving77]

If you like acoustic performances look up the Live in Paris versions of Cornelia Street and Death by a Thousand Cuts. Just Taylor with her guitar - amazing. Loving that you’re blown away by her! ❤

[@Yramuol]

Agree these were beautiful

[@tytell77]

Personal favorite and also performing in BBC Lounge

[@MysteryWillow.2013]

I'd love to see you react to her signing 'Death by a thousand cuts' live at Paris. Honestly all of her performances at that show are just amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@evnhorses-international]

PLEASE REACT TO HER SONG: WOULD'VE COULD'VE SHOULD'VE!!!! You won't regret it, but you might get emotional

[@craigmoon2121]

One of the reasons Taylor Swift has become so famous is that she reinvents herself completely almost every single album. And she'll have newer songs that sound like her older stuff as well, but the overall sound of each album is completely unique.

[@misscatt93]

Its kinda the best way to listen to taylor. Her stripped back versions allow you to really appreciate her incredible lyrics.

[@savvymegs675]

This. I don't love a lot of her production. But taylor and a guitar or taylor in a piano.... Magic.

[@annietrahan7322]

In my opinion, her best storytelling song is all too well. The 10 minute version the words just get me every time.

[@shannonm6118]

More than anything Taylor Swift makes what inspires and moves her. She puts her whole heart into anything she makes and tends not to limit herself by trying to fit into boxes. She has RANGE so expect the unexpected 😂 the one thing you can always depend on is her lyrics are going to be impressive, stirring, and written by her. Even the songs that people agree aren't her most complex or best still have lyrics that stand up against scruntiny. I'm living for this journey, please keep posting reactions to her! ❤

[@MysteryWillow.2013]

This is one of my favorite songs of hers. It's such a personal song to her, you don't even need to know the back story (which there is a long one) to know that this song to Taylor just rips at her heart, which in turn rips at my heart. Like you said its the *sigh* at the end that just feels like the twisting of the dagger. She is an absolutely amazing story teller. She will go down in history as the best of our generation ❤

[@brittanyphillips9157]

If you want a sigh that will proceed to destroy your soul listen to you’re losing me. The way I sob every time

I'm sure you do know this already but she wrote every single song - as a songwriter she is incredible from that epic performance with Reputation to this as a storyteller! Like how?! she is insane- the Poet of our generation!

[@swiftigoth]

"Death by A Thousand Cuts" this is one of, if not THE best bridge, it is a GOAT Bridge! (in my not-so-humble-opinion) Original is awesome, the acoustic version for Tiny Desk special is really good too. Please watch! It's soooooooooo good, I promise (15 years of piano and cello and quitar lessons and Music theory speaking here lol)

I'm so touched by the way your reactions to Taylor seem so genuine and emotional! These folklore sessions (and the album itself) are deeply introspective. There is absolutely something to be said about the way she embodies every song she sings and really helps the song and meaning come alive -- I absolutely understood what you meant about her "owning" her confidence, and the way it seems bigger than life while still being utterly...Taylor 🤷‍♀️

[@taracrothers8495]

Your reactions are my favorite! You get so emotional just like I do. I'm a newer swiftie. I started listening at the beginning of the pandemic. I've been a goner ever since. I can't wait to see your next reaction!

[@liaboyd8464]

"How many times am I going to be feeling like this?" ALL the times! This is why we love her as an artist.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

You can also watch the discussion she has with Jack Antonoff about the meaning of the song which is great. It’s helpful to have a frame of reference on a song. They do that for about every song on Folklore I believe. Very helpful for many songs as her lyrics aren’t always easy to decipher, so I recommend listening to them followed by the song being recorded!

[@mamaya311]

This is one of my favorite songs on folklore. It's the first one she wrote for the album, and she wrote it by herself in the midst of the pandemic. It's so hauntingly beautiful. I love the little slides and whispers she puts into certain words and notes. You can really hear her country roots peeking through a bit. She always gets praise for her songwriting and storytelling, which she absolutely deserves, but I don't hear many people talk about how great of a vocalist she is as well.

[@andidreyes5323]

So I hope I live for her next tour. I've been to 2 concerts in my life : JingleBall2014 & a Kansas concert with my dad & aunt/uncle/cousins. We just never had the money because I've had to spend some much money on hospital and doctors and tests and medicine. I'm dying. Ta-da! 😂. Honestly, I have had a long-term autoimmune disease that is hurting my liver & biliary ducts on top of the Crohns and Fibromyalgia...and she's been hard for me to listen to for a minute...not because of content. She was someone that my mom and I loved together before my mom died. Then I had time to work on my grief, came back, caught back up, and that was before Reputation happened. I know my mom used to hope she found someone epic.

[@lisahodges9489]

This one was track 5 for a reason. Her track #5 on each album is the one that is the most emotional for her.

[@Nataliedoe]

You don’t have to forgive and forget to move on. You just become indifferent and then you move on. Taylor swift.

[@jaylynn8630]

Haha this is a great 3rd song to react to, in terms of giving you some idea of the breadth of her catalog, in terms of emotional range and also musical styles.

[@albertodeltorofuentes114]

Taylor is the music industry personified Every álbum is something new

[@alanawagner1766]

You’re getting some great recommendations and I agree with every single one! I’d like to add her cover of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” for Carole King’s induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[@nessbolton]

This is how she writes and records her songs, have a look at any of her ‘making of a song’. That’s Jack Antanoff on the piano, her longtime and much loved producer. When she’s stripped back like this it is hard to level it with her live performances but without any tricks this is where you learn to appreciate her songwriting abilities. Bear in mind she’s been writing since she was 13yrs old, probably even before that if she went through some of her journals. Bear in mind this whole album is around the time her relationship with Joe Alwyn was coming to an end, she went from ‘“I’d marry you with paper rings” to “you’re losing me” 😢

[@tommywilk7421]

You NEED to watch her performance of “All Too Well” at the 56th Grammy awards. It’s so emotional and raw. Probably my favorite live perforce of hers. Other than her performance of “Rowan” but you will definitely sob and cry with that one.

[@mystarlitdawn]

Rowan is so good, but I can't listen to it and be emotionally well for the rest ofthe day.

[@zararasheed2101]

Yes please!

[@IvyCowboy]

Listen, you can trust us when we give you suggestions, because yes sir, we are taking you on a ride too. Watching with you is *almost* like watching it the first time. Wish you would've found the version where she explains the song before performing, but I was so happy to see you react to something completely different. I knew it would blow your mind. I hope you're ready. PS - if you like the stripped down raw performances, she has a lot of those too! The Grammy Museum live guitar/piano versions of 1989 are fantastic, particularly Out of the Woods on piano.

[@DerrickMims]

Somebody throw him BabySwizzie doing "Mean" from the Grammys next, just to fulfill his country music expectation. 🤣And then the Tiny Desk concert. 🥰
