GIRL, I beg you. STOP SAYING YOU'RE SLOW !! YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT MUSIC REACTOR I HAVE WATCHED, the way you put the pieces together, the way you get her vision & the situation that she paints with her lyrics. UGH. not to mention all of these are on FIRST LISTEN !? you are SO intelligent it's not even funny at this point. so stop saying you're slow please x. xoxo, gossip girl !! p.s track 5 on an album are her most vulnerable tracks. e.g So Long, London. my tears ricochet. You're On Your Own, Kid. How Did It End? & FUCKING TOLERATE IT p.s when you relisten to dorothea, keep 'tis the damn season in your mind.

Ivy is my favourite song of hers ever. It sounds so pretty but then every single line is SO deliberate. One thing about Ivy is "promised to another" makes me feel like its the olden days and she was sold off to someone else. Then you research the Ivy plant and learn about how difficult it is to get out once it's there. AND "hes going ti burn this house to the ground" but the house is made of STONE and filled with IVY. Two things that dont burn. Thats the tip of the iceberg i love this song so much. Like cheating is not good but it's literally not my fault that her songs about cheating are such bangers.

[@kaf10_beauty]

The story seems to somewhat match up with Emily Dickinson, who potentially had a relationship with her brother's wife.

[@davidpacheco268]

@@kaf10_beauty if I'm not mistaken, ivy was in the soundtrack of season 3 of the show "Dickinson" on Apple TV, which is, as you can deduce, about Emily Dickinson

@@kaf10_beauty I commented about this more in depth already, but yes, I came across a video of her speaking about Emily Dickinson in reference to her inspiration for Evermore & her "quill" pen songwriting. Ivy became very obvious this was the main one she was speaking of, and what it was about once I heard her say that. Brilliant stuff and makes me love the song even more. Sue and Emily's secret love affair is a classic secret sapphic love story that happened alot during that time period when it was life endangering to be gay. I love that song so much!!

[@gktte2574]

It’s interesting that Track 10 of Folklore is Illicit Affairs while Evermore is Ivy.

@@jwalkinlife please say your joking because Tolerate It is the most clearly written song about Joe ever. It’s very clear that’s how she was feeling and the parallel between the man she’s singing about and Joe are quite clear. Tolerate It gets real damning when you start to listen to Midnights and understand how their relationship dynamic worked. I’ve said this a million times, but the pandemic is the reason they stayed together for so long. Defending Joe just isn’t something us fans should be doing when it’s clear that he wasted 6 years of their lives for a relationship he didn’t want to be in. Taylor sounded miserable while dating him, he kept her closed off and made it so she shrunk her group of friends. I don’t know where this Joe narrative came from that he’s such a sweet and kind soul when in actuality he was neglectful and controlling.

That banging noise in Closure somewhat represents "big machines" ... and her old record label is called "Big Machine Records" .

[@curryc]

I've always heard them as big machines breaking down. Which even more so connects given the situation.

[@fiemy6888]

Ooooo that’s a great observation!! I’ve always just thought that “the beginning of closure is messy” as in, what comes before you reach the point of closure can be a tangled mess, and it can be uncomfortable - hence seeking closure

[@LadyoftheUnderground]

My interpretation is the clanging represents the other person reaching out. The piano is her trying to just move on with her life, and then here comes this person bringing everything back.

[@Folkloregurlie13]

Coney Island actually has multiple references about different exes and things mentioned in other songs which might be why you thought you heard something familiar."Were you standing in the hallway… with a big cake, happy birthday" - Jake Gyllenhaal. “Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?” - John Mayer. “And when I got into the accident… The sight that flashed before me was your face” - Harry Styles. "But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” - Calvin Harris. And “Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there” - Tom Hiddleston. Hope this helped!

[@anaassuncao98]

Omg I never realized this 😭😭😭😭

[@kellyprang611]

I always loved how "the rogue who coaxed you" sounds like "the roller coaster"- what with Coney Island being a theme park with rides and another lyric mentioning the merry-go (round).

Cowboy Like Me, a song on Taylor Swift's Evermore album, is a song about two con artists or swindlers that established to tricking others with love. But when the two cross paths, they intended to use their same tacktick to each other. In the end, they found out it wasn't really a trick at all. Taylor 's songwriting is immaculate on this song, it really shows her talent on making love songs like Cowboy Like Me. It's my favorite on the album to be honest hahaha

[@martakotuniak3916]

[@clarasaphira701]

My favorite too!!!! 💖

[@TheCinder24]

Marcus Mumford on the track is icing on the cake! 🎂 🥮

[@austincarney9814]

i think cowboy like me is generally the same as you said, but its about 2 people who use others for love, money etc.. and when they finally meet they use their tricks on eachother but the genuine feeling of love is one sided. the lyrics that make me think that are “now you hang from my lips like the gardens of babylon, your boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest con” she’s essentially saying “was this even real? did you ever exist? there’s proof of you here but where are you now?”

[@Grginac]

And then when you find that it is most probably about Matty , a con artist. "She has swindled him into all of her poems". And then in loml, "a con-man sells a fool get-love-quick" scheme.... mindblown becaise this was also my favorite but now i know why... :D

[@Mary-xj9jn]

us fans speculated that the line "I sit and watch you", in tolerate it, indicates the fact that everything she wrote in the song was all in her mind, what she was thinking about the relationship. In fact, even at the start the song is introduced with the line "I sit and watch you". I hope this helped (love your reactions)

[@ATLA99]

Interesting! I never heard that interpretation. The way i interpreted it is that she was saying "what if i break free? Believe me i COULD do it, but i just sit and watch you" like she wanted to leave but in the end she couldnt bring herself to do it. That being said, i might interpret it that way because i related to the song and thats something i've personally experienced

[@ange1.]

Also at the eras tour at the end of tolerate it performance, she first does this dramatic act and by the end she just sits and watches him

“I hope she’ll be a beautiful fool” is from the Great Gatsby, and it’s not mean spirited - it’s hoping somebody will be naive and believe the fairytale, instead of seeing through it and getting hurt.

"cowboy like me" is very intriguing. It's about two con artists who hook up with rich old folks (sugar daddies and mommies, lol) solely with the intention of exploiting their wealth. They meet at a marquee-a large tent for outdoor events such as weddings and parties, which the narrator describes as a "tent-like thing" to reflect their guise of an upper-class attendee at the social event. They serendipitously fall in love with one another, although the narrator doubts the sincerity of their partner's love, which Taylor references with the disputable Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The closing line, "I'm never gonna love again," is ambiguous and is generally interpreted in two ways: either they forsake their notorious frauds and commit to their relationship, or the narrator, despite being aware of their partner's congenial yet deceitful nature, is ultimately deceived or abandoned (I believe it's the former though). This is one of my favorite songs of hers; I think she pretty much nailed everything with this one: lyrics, melody, vocals, production. P.S. Marcus Mumford sings background vocals in this song! 🤠

[@aldousaldehyde]

“Gold rush” actually refers to the actual gold rush during the 19th century when there was a rapid influx of seekers for gold deposits in the US. She wrote this as an analogy to the guy she likes who was desired by many, and how she doesn’t like the feeling of having to compete with others. Just like in the actual gold rush.

[@kuirtmercado3834]

"'tis the damn season" is about someone who is already making a name in like the celebrity industry, hence the LA reference. The song is about going back to your hometown and meeting like an old flame and both of you discover that love again but also aware that it won't be same. The male perspective of the song is "dorothea" and tells the story from his side. Watching someone you care achieve her dreams, even if it means you being left behind. Then you reminisced the time you shared together, and now she's back in her hometown and you see each other again (even if it's only for the weekend😭). Ahhhh!!! It's so wholesome at the same time so sadd. It's like every coming of age movie I've ever watched 😭. Also the story being "potentially" inspired by 'Normal People' just makes me love both songs even more.❤

[@EcstaticSelf]

What I love so much about this song is how the protagonist’s perspective about their ex changes as the song continues. And how the lyrics of “it’s the damn season” and “road untaken” become almost longing by the end. For me, it ends in this precious moment of saying that I know this is only lasting for a moment, but let’s just pretend, while I’m here in your bed, that this our reality and lasts forever. Shes sensing the heartbreak that’s about to come back into her life, but let’s just enjoy this moment while we have it together. Sigh.

I think Speak Now is a rly good album to react to next once ur ready. It was the first album she made that she wrote entirely by herself.

[@gktte2574]

What is interesting about “Tolerate It” is that it was already a repeated cycle. She had already been second-guessing about this relationship, thinking of leaving but in the end she still end up giving this man a chance “I sit and watch you” in the end of the song and in the eras tour where she sat back. Ironically, tolerating the man’s half-ass treatment to her. It adds another layer of sadness on that song

[@lisaf94]

Happiness was written for her best friend who was going through a divorce. It’s not from her own experience (which may also explain why the song has such an insightful message - because it’s advice for her friend).

[@eu_balaena]

Ivy is inspired by the poet Emily Dickinson, a distant relative of Taylor herself. Emily has a love affair with Sue Gilbert, who is married to Emily's brother. There is a lot of documentation between Emily and Sue, letters that confirm the great love they had for each other, but it was forbidden. That is why this song is so beautiful and poetic, it is inspired by one of the greatest poets who ever lived. The Apple Dickinson series used Ivy in a beautiful intimate scene between Emily and Sue, being approved by Taylor I think it was a confirmation on her part.

[@sattystars]

i love evermore because it's such a great album about closure, every song is about the ending of something, how things ended up after something shifted in her life and/or characters. and it makes even more sense coming after folklore that is mostly about reminiscing things from the past and what they could've been. these albums together are a great testimonium about grieving the life we could've had without the pandemic and accepting the life we got because of it. perfect masterpieces. love your reactions, thanks for being in this journey and enjoying her work, it's incredible how you get most songs at first listen!! 🫶

The hairbrush during tolerate it and nbnc 😂😂😂

[@Goldengurl85]

Omggggg girl. I will come back for this! Just listed to folklore and TTPD. I will come back for this!! I promise!! Evermore is one of my favorites!!!

[@jenrenby]

Just started the video, can't WAIT!! But yeah I didn't like TTPD much when it came out, but it's definitely grown on me. And next you should react to Red! I would say Reputation, but wait until Taylor's Version comes out for that.

[@keb2747]

I’ve watched a lot of TS reaction videos, and you have the most perceptive takes I’ve seen; you actually understand her lyrics (the vocabulary and metaphors) and make connections between the songs for the thru-lines for the track order, all of that. Thanks for seeing why people appreciate her poetry. I’m 50 years old, I have a total of five college degrees and teach at a community college, and I appreciate her artistry. I am not a kid, and she doesn’t write for kids, she has a poet’s mind. You follow her train of thought and that’s refreshing, so thanks again.

[@eliasbacher3347]

Marjorie is even on the track when taylor says i think you are singing to me now you can hear marjory singing in the background its the opera sounds you called out but thats actually her

[@maddiecribbs0517]

5:21 you’re so insightful! I have listened to this song so many times and I considered myself pretty good at catching most of the metaphors Taylor uses, but I never thought of that line meaning she was dreaming of him that’s so clever!!

[@samanthas9300]

I'm convinced you're the best music reactor on KZbin, seriously. As a diehard Swiftie of over a decade, you pick up on things SO WELL on first listen, sometimes literally better than I even do having all the context of her past albums and relationships, lol. Thank you for making these videos, they're so fun to watch! I think **Speak Now (Taylor's Version)** would be a great next listen for you. It's her third album, originally released in 2010 and the rerecorded version was released in 2023. It's her only album that is entirely solo-written (meaning she wrote every word on the album with no help from cowriters) and is kind of the transition album between her early "fairytale/girl-next-door" image and her more mature approach to relationships. It has some storytelling-based songs (Speak Now, Never Grow Up, Timeless) as well as some of her most gut-wrenching lyrics ever (Dear John, which is my favorite in her entire discography, Last Kiss) and I really think you'll love the variety! (Hint: Dear John is the precursor to Would've, Could've, Should've on Midnights; they're about the same relationship with her different perspectives over the years.) I also think Speak Now will give some good context for you BEFORE you go into her 4th album, Red (Taylor's Version). Red is a fan favorite so I see that everyone's requesting that next, but trust me - you will appreciate the pain and heartbreak of Red way more once you've heard a little more of her romantic history leading up to that point.

[@samanthas9300]

To expand, I think a great order (assuming you're continuing this series... please do!) would be: Speak Now (3rd album) -> Red (4th album) -> 1989 (5th album) -> reputation (6th album) -> Lover (7th album) And then come the newer ones that you've already heard! I really feel like listening to them in release order would help you understand the trajectory of her career and romantic life much better than just jumping from one to another - Ex. The breakup detailed in Red hits even harder having the context of how her Speak Now relationship messed with her head. The albums' themes are somewhat interwoven with each other as she gradually transitioned from country to pop. Of course, that still leaves her first 2 albums, but tbh they are much more country and a little more teenager-y/high school centric. Absolutely worth a listen, but you may not click with them as instantly as you have with her newer stuff.

[@wohphoto]

My favorite album ... I was a Rep girl but then I had a tough winter and fell in love with Evermore. The song Evermore is my soul-song. It doesn't something wild to me each time I listen ... especially the live version in the Eras Tour - speechless.

[@Gadyelbane]

It is always a pleasure to see your reaction videos, your perpectives are so great I love it s2

[@mrs.donglover2586]

Tis the Damn Season is the clearest song to me: reconnecting with an old ( ex) love in your home town, where you broke up because you were leaving. But you’re in town for the holidays and you reconnect or hook up for the weekend with only the familiarity of your past love connecting you ( nostalgia) and they make a deal of no future just the weekend, just a temporary visit to their shared past.

[@jedhead25]

So on happiness, the thing you mentioned about "7 years in heaven". Taylor said that evermore is about "endings". I do think that she was able to explore aspects of the breakdown of her relationship with JA under the guise of storytelling -- I think lots of this album is exploring sorts of "alternate endings" to a relationship, both happy and sad, something I think she must've been thinking about a lot around this time. It's a little controversial to talk about cos everyone disagrees, but the thing is nobody knows for sure. I for one think this album is such a beautiful reflective piece, and my absolute favourite album of hers.

[@TheCinder24]

At the time, bc there was so much speculation about this song, she stated it was about her hometown bestie Abigail's divorce. Taylor deflects at times what a song is really about (Tolerate It I am looking at you) but I think this might be true. She was in Abigail's wedding and she could have been writing from Abigail's perspective.

[@mariasmith5017]

​@@TheCinder24what's interesting is she very likely wrote these about other people or were made up stories, but now post TTPD it feels like subconsciously she identified with various elements (ending with Joe, thinking of Matty) probably exacerbated by pandemic depressions (for an extrovert like her it would be rough to be isolated) come through. Obviously that's just an interpretation and I could be super wrong, but that's the feeling I get.

[@thejoeyjason]

YEHEY! She put check on my fave song Right Where You Left Me!!!!

[@czakej3310]

Girl, you are amazing, the way you dissect everything and tie it together and GET IT RIGHT almost immediately is so crazy (in a good way), I love your reaction and looking forward to seeing more, cause I been waiting!!! And I was at the edge of my seat waiting for the Champagne Problems reaction and tolerate it, also ivy, and Marjorie - my favourites

[@nadineborn4523]

Thank you so much! It is wonderful to experience everything again with you. You are doing an amazing job! I noticed that you really enjoy piecing together her stories, timelines, and relationships, so I strongly recommend starting from the first album and working your way up. For me, it is so enjoyable to watch Taylor's songwriting and her life evolve and grow. Based on what I’ve heard from you, I think you would enjoy it the most that way. I hope this makes sense. I wish you all the best! Stay beautiful-you are golden!

[@KaleDu64]

I really hope one day you’ll react to the eras tour cause tolerate it live is incredible

[@gracierynn9476]

can i just say that you get taylor's music more than like half of the fandom. like you literally showed me new meanings and parallels i hadn't thought about before. so thank you and welcome!!!!

[@rmzv7]

I honestly can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy your reactions❤ You somehow always manage to give me a different perspective on the same song…you’re one of the best reactors on KZbin girl!

[@aeboi86]

The way you explained Willow made me cry. I wish i could find that one that knocks my walls down. This song is so bad ass

[@BrandyFisher-x6d]

Your reviews are top tier! 👏👏👏

[@ErinAirOut4]

I’ve loved binging your Taylor listens! Your ability to connect things is so impressive! And the fact that you’re picking up on connections and patterns that even transcend back into older albums as well. I can’t wait to see more!

[@eliasbacher3347]

I feel like tis the damn season is kind of a christmas story like those christmas movies where the girl comes home to her hometown and meets her past lover and they start dating again (call me babe for the weekend) and then instead of the happily ever after she is back in la and thats kind of the ending at least thats my view of the song

[@carlystraight1851]

I love folklore but I am an Evermore girlie to my core! This album made me a fan.

[@Violet316]

Great reaction, a suggestion for the next album, you could do a poll to see which album to do next, or since you have done the last four, go backward to the beginning, Lover, Reputation, 1989, Red, Speak Now, Fearless, and self-titled Taylor Swift.

[@graceenolafortier6950]

I absolutely love that you described willow as “sway”. her live performance of this song during the eras tour is so smooth and sway-ey. It’s magical.

[@ds02906]

Champagne problems=first world problems. Also love your reactions started watching you since the Folklore reaction. You're so smart while piecing all the parts together,love your insights.❤

[@justwonder1404]

It healed something in me to see your reaction to No body no crime, that song deserves more hype.

[@lana5516]

Leaving a comment before watching bc this gonna be a slay wbk

[@soren_flies]

when you processed the "dropped my sword, i threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door" AND listened to no body no crime AND listened to ivy, i already knew you are prepared enough to listen to her reputation album which ties back to many of these stories!

[@ediespetra]

evermore is my fav album so glad you reacted to it!! speak now and 1989 next please :)💜💙

[@danaisyhernandez4778]

Her ending tolerate it with the first line of the song shows that she never broke free and left. It was all in her head.
