listening to RED by TAYLOR SWIFT for the first time & hating Jake Gyllenhaal (PART 1)

[@hthazee]

Hey y'all, firstly I'd like to apologize. I realize that the beginning of the video makes it seem like we're about to RED TV and as the songs start obviously this is the old version. I'm sorry that the beginning edit makes it look misleading. The reason I filmed the old version was because this week I was getting married and despite my personal life I still needed to upload in a timely manner for this HUGE release. I thought that since I've still never heard RED from back in 2012, that I could film in two parts. Part 1 being for the songs that were on the original (and now redone on TV) and the newly added ones from TV and The Vault. Since filming this video I have also filming a separate video listening to the ACTUALLY TV but it might be a while since that comes out. Having a life and trying to be a full time youtube is very stressful and seeing a ton of comments about how Im "supporting her stolen records" and in that way Pooper Braun is the last thing I need for my mental heath so please consider this message before leaving your comment. Thank you

[@briandaitzel]

[@syidann]

I didn't realize this until I heard girl at home since she did switched the production. But it means that Taylor really succeeded to make this re-record cause I don't fucking aware of it, like I've been listening to RED tv everyday.

Hey fellow swifties: why are we bullying troy when this is exactly how we experienced red? We listened to the stolen version first, too. And we wouldn't have been able to appreciate the perfection of taylor's version if we didn't. I know there are some of us in the fandom who can be quite aggressive, especially since we want to be alongside taylor in her fight to own her work, but troy literally just got married and still managed to put out good quality content for us. I hope we don't get too carried away in our emotions that we end up being jerks.

Maroon is gay

[@tvil8]

Maroon feels like it's about harry. Red was one person, then maroon is what that red faded into. The 1989 vault tracks told us she was also guilty of being with other people so fits the "the mark you saw on my collar bone" line. The only other person that line could b about is calvin but he didn't leave a legacy, She forgot he even existed. Who would she see every day? The most famous ex. Who has left a real legacy? Well. I think we know.

[@LimeIsTheName]

I disagree with people who have said her re-recordings sound identical to the old ones! One of the best parts of her re-releasing her albums is new & better production and her vocals are MUCH stronger and more mature! The re-recordings stay mostly true to the originals but there are differences.

[@mainlyyogurt]

better production for sure, but she now uses the very pop idea of squaring off her vocals in the EQ so everything is volume matched. Personally it would feel so much better if she left it like the original and let the highs and lows actually be highs and lows. Now i absolutely love the new version and always will.

I just want to say that you’re the only reaction channel where I re-watch your album reactions. Your sense of humor, honesty, and “production” ;) make it super entertaining. So I love rewatching because it’s just fun to go through it with you over and over. :)

[@iguess9424]

My experience with Red: When the album came out me and my sister drove around listening to it at 10 PM while drinking milkshakes and I felt like punching someone and hugging someone and crying all at the same time. Great experience, highly recommend

[@mariestraub6690]

To anyone bullying over the fact it's the old version of the album in this video: Let's not pretend like most swifties have stopped listening to the albums that have not yet been re-released. Good job if you did, but personally I could not have gone two years without All too well in my life. It's amazing Troy managed to put out a video in such an important week in his life, also that way he gets to know the differences between Red and Red TV. ALSO, the important thing to note is that, despite common belief, Taylor IS getting paid when people listen to the original versions. She has songwriting copyrights, which Scooter can never own. So yes, Scooter is getting money but so is Taylor. So Troy is not listening to Taylor's work without giving her credit and I think that's what's most important while we wait for him to experience the magnificence that is Red TV, and -I'm sure- then proceeds to never give the original album another listen in his life!

it hits different now that 22 is right after all too well now, now that we know Jake missed her 21 birthday and was sad and was like "turning 21 is supposed to be fun" so for turning 22 all she wanted to do is have fun and forget about heart break

[@sierrawilson7675]

I also had a terrible 21st birthday experience so I feel Taylor in 'the moment I knew' and this album is SO good!!! Rips my heart out every time. 😭❤

[@OISHIROSE]

About Girl at Home: I heard a theory that this could've been about Zac Efron. Taylor and Zac voiced an animated movie together (The Lorax), went on Ellen together around that time too. Apparently it's known that Zac turns off his phone during movie shift hours or something. Anyway, at that time he was supposed to have been in a relationship with an actress, I can't remember who. But they broke it off pretty soon after and it was speculated that the dating/relationship vibes were for PR. None of this is confirmed, obviously.

[@dualapeeps]

i have 3 things to say abt red tv 1. it enhanced the album IN SO MANY WAYS that red is now my second fave taylor album which is a really big thing bc folklore and rep were my n.1 and n.2 and they were impossible to go down top 2 but red totally surpassed reputation by a mile with the taylor’s version, still not going to be my fave rn bc folklore will always be my fave but god this is so amazing, red was my n.4 fave bc its the album which i became a swiftie in 2013 so it has also a huge sentimental value 2. i loved everything except the “weeeee” on wanegbt but i think im gonna get used to it soon update: I already got used to it and don't mind it 3. it made me HATE jake even more than what i did before

[@isbravesun]

omg i thought no one else noticed the weee on wanegbt, i rlly did not like it

[@dani.p]

OMG! Folklore and Rep are my n.1 and n.2!!!! I don't consider myself a swiftie BUT with the pandemic I was like ok, I'm going to listen to folklore (even when I'm not a fan but everyone says is so different and prrrr) and after loving it sooo much it was like: Ok, this is it, this is how I enter to the Swift universe xD Then I listen to Lover (I liked like 3-4 songs but as an album it wasn't my cup of tea; then from 1989 I reaaaally liked 6 songs, but again, is not an album that I listen from top to bottom) and THEN I listened to Reputation and OMG, SO GOOD!!! I did something Bad, Don't Blame Me, Getaway Car, ... Ready For It?, King of My Heart, Delicate, New Year's Day??!!! Absolutely favs and they probably are going to appear in my "Spotify Wrapped" from this year xD Red wasn't my thing back in the days but now with her experience-mature voice plus the new production made me enjoy this album a lot (I mark as fav 17 from the 30 tracks) and I sobbed with the All Too Well 10 min. version.

[@teuntje_esle]

Hey! I just want to say it's totally okay that you first listened to the old album, I get it. I would want to compare them too if I never heard either. Always really love watching your reactions and am looking forward to part 2 of this

[@gabbytheartfriend]

The ten minute version of _All Too Well_ also addresses the age difference in the relationship much more clearly and it hurts so much more.

[@alexisringler160]

‼️ATTENTION‼️ because know someone is bound to say something and idk if he mentions it In this video or not, but on his Instagram the other day. He stated that he did not listen to read Taylor’s version, because he wanted to get this video edited and filmed in time for him to go get married. He also mentioned that he does not want to discredit Taylor or anything, again he just wanted to be able to go have his wedding and have a great time and not have to worry about editing this video anymore. So please be kind, also not everyone is aware that Taylor is re-recording. So instead of attacking them for not using Taylor‘s version. Explain the situation to them.‼️

[@lesalee1234]

I’ve literally never sat through an entire reaction video but dude, I can’t stop watching. I’m obsessed with Taylor. So proud of her. And it’s mind blowing she wrote these songs that have such depth at 22. Have fun at your wedding!!

troy: he had an obligation, i get it troy, after taylor says there was one thing missing: *in tears* what

[@amandacarvajal2904]

the lucky one is such a masterpiece by ms swift, she starts the song off talking about a girl who has it all and she seems to envy the fact this girl has so much attention and always seems to just be loved by everyone. I love it when she says in the second verse "Now it's big black cars and Riviera views, and your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you" I love the comparison between this young girl who has it all but true love. She continues this idea again when she says "And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused, 'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used". When all in your life thing come from being beautiful and you see people treat you different, when taylor sings this, she represent the feeling that comes along with constantly being valued for your ever fleeting beauty. You no longer feel beautiful you feel like thats all your identity is and feel unwanted for who you are and used. The song then changes the point of view making taylor the new pretty artist that everyone is obsessed with and she begins to understand how hard it is to value who you are when you feel like anything anyones paying attention to are the shallow details of your life and mistakes you made. Later in the song swift says "'Cause now my name is up in lights, but I think you got it right" referencing how now she's famous but at what cost, she wonders how long her beauty will keep her relevant.

[@nicolettemaloy]

So “I knew you were trouble” actually isn’t about Harry (I’m pretty sure no song on red is about him) because they were all written before they even started dating because they dated during the red era im pretty sure (another swiftie can fact check me lol) but “I knew you were trouble” is in fact about John Mayer probably :)

she said that ikywt and treacherous are about the same person, and when she performed ikywt live at the Brits, she got interviewed and said it was easy to access that emotion because the person she wrote it about was in the crowd. john nor jake were there, but harry was. she dated him a bit before red came out I believe??

Just so you know: I Knew You Were Trouble and Treacherous could not be about Harry Styles cause they weren't dainting by the time she wrote this. Before, I tought IKYWT was about John Meyer (cause he's an assssssss) but after listen to the All Too Well (10 minutes version) I could tell is about Jake, actually. And I never had a doubt: Treacherous, for me, was always about Jake

i’ve never understood people saying there were songs about harry on this album. on her red tour she literally said that she went through a break up and wrote a WHOLE album about him.

Actually they are about him. The secret message for treacherous is lyrics from a band that Harry had tattooed on him. Also her and Harry met in March of 2012 at the kids choice awards, they had a thing going and then he drunkly made out with another girl and that's when Taylor made I knew you were trouble.
