[@LanadelreysWife5]

yesss

[@yezzN02]

Team Evermore too! I think Folklore might be the better album as a whole, but Evermore has the better songs if considered individually. Love both anyway. 🙌🏼

[@WaveReact]

Totally agree! -Zach

[@florana5961]

No, folklore and evermore are the worst albums, it's boring, we prefer 1989 and lover, we are cool girls

[@GrinningLikeaDelicateJamesDean]

@@florana5961 we all have opinions, but most people will rank folklore as one of her best albums

[@jayesoine6981]

Great thing to notice her bridges. She loves making her bridges

[@matilda8675]

i love how you put the lyrics on the screen like that

[@WaveReact]

We appreciate that!

[@3407]

Ryan has the coolest most relatable music taste ever, and we love to see it 🥹.

[@WaveReact]

Thank you! I try to bring the goods -Ryan

[@tee272]

I love the Closure appreciation. I like the chaotic sounds and feeling. Really fits the subject

[@samihercules]

I just love watching the 2 types of music listeners come together! Lyrics and vibes unite!

[@WaveReact]

We love hearing this! That’s literally us, and seeing people pick up on that means the world.

[@emmavink]

Evermore is absolutely the more complete, more mature, more varied, more gorgeous album. Folklore is lovely, but it is still getting there for me. Evermore is Folklore fully realised. It's basically a perfect album. The only songs I ever skip if I'm impatient are Good Rush and Coney Island. But if I have time, I'm never mad to listen to them. You still shortchanged the bridges in this reaction a bit. Especially for Tolerate It. Probably my favourite bridge of all the Taylor Swift songs... Ever... It's just so incredibly gut-wrenching.

[@WaveReact]

Sorry 🫠

[@Rae777]

I’m getting back into Taylor Swift recently and I’m really in love with her bridges. If you’d like to share, can you let me know your favorite bridges of her songs?😊

[@agvicster]

Tolerate it is my fave song from Evermore. I think this album is my favorite.

[@sam_sa09]

​@@Rae777there are sooo many, chats and reacts are a channel of Swifties who do videos ranking bridges and choruses and such 😊

[@Rae777]

@@sam_sa09 it’s been a few months and I now realize I was asking the impossible. My favorites change depending on which album I’m obsessing over. Right now, it’s “Is It Over Now?” I didn’t need this in my life 😭😭😭

[@almeida5823]

You have to show him the bonus tracks of folklore and evermore please❤

[@WaveReact]

We actually listened to the bonus tracks from both albums on Patreon!

[@BellaKat7]

In “happiness” she also says, “now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head” is showing that she is actually meaning the end of the narrator’s relationship and not her life. Bitterness eats away everything good in your life just like acid rain. But there will be happiness after him, too, she just hasn’t met the new her yet. Also, being above the trees allows her to see the entire picture (like the forrest for the trees idiom) but then she says “but now I’m right down in it” meaning she can only see the trees and not the bigger picture. Great reaction! I just love how uniting music can be!

[@WaveReact]

That makes a lot more sense! Thanks for sharing and listening along with us!

[@kateisgreat85]

Team Folklore, but honestly both are amazing! Long story short, right where you left me, and the lakes are 3 of my favorite songs🧡

[@WaveReact]

Thanks for listening with us!

[@bethany8734]

Yes, no one talks about right where you left me and I loveee it

[@breakfastsausage]

I personally like this album more!!! team evermore! (both are wonderful)

[@leoneds-fox]

y’all are the absolute best! I love this album and as a whole I enjoy it a tiny bit more than folklore. This has my second favorite song of hers, cowboy like me (my favorite being peace). You guys are so respectful and appreciative of her and its a breath of fresh air when most men aren’t.

[@WaveReact]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us. Thanks for listening with us and making our day! 😊

[@ryanjeffrey3293]

tolerate it and champagne problems are the best on this album. i love a good sad song 🥲

[@guyswiftie9033]

omg I've been waiting for this

[@jewelyamanaka]

Been waiting for this! Thank you.

[@WaveReact]

Thanks for listening with us!

[@mate8674]

I love this album so much, thank you for posting this video! Love the way you guys react and interact with each other

[@WaveReact]

Thanks so much for listening with us ☺️

[@kimberly1836]

I really enjoyed watching your "folklore" reaction video, so I'm really happy that you decided to do "evermore" too. My favorite song from the album is probably, "gold rush." Honestly, most of the time I listen to the album the whole way through, because I love each song so much. This album has such comfort vibes for me, and reminds me of one of the happiest Christmas seasons I've had, so for that reason I'm on team "evermore."

[@WaveReact]

Thanks so much for listening to both albums with us! As I said during the episode gold rush really grew on me over time, and reading the name just now already has the hook stuck in my head! And I love having albums tied to a memory like that because I can always turn it out and transport back in time. 😊

[@B0KN0WS]

Team evermore!

[@Hannah_96]

I feel like you guys would like the album Good Riddance by Gracie Abrams and Five Seconds Flat by Lizzy McAlpine, also great writers and storytellers!

[@WaveReact]

Awesome! Thanks for suggesting ☺️

[@amandanovoa8768]

yes omg good riddance is so good!

[@SarahMerritt15]

LIZZY YES

[@jessiedos3917]

I love Taylor and this reaction so much!! Keep up the great content! ❤️

[@WaveReact]

Thank you so much!

[@avamessana3287]

so surprised to see you guys don’t have more subscribers!! i’ve been crocheting to this video and the folklore reaction for the last 2 hours 😅 absolutely love your commentary!! i’d love to see you guys go through taylor’s whole discography, every single song is so intentional!

[@WaveReact]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Another Taylor reaction has been recorded 🙃 -Ryan

[@xoAnnieBee]

I read that Happiness was written about the end of her best friend, Abigail's first marriage.

[@WaveReact]

Ah, that's good to know! Thanks!

[@fengbeto]

I love how you put the album cover like a frame omg it's so pretty

[@xmoomoo9158]

Beautiful Album… period❤️

[@carolinamsouto20]

this reaction was amazing i came here after i watched the folklore video and i absolutely love you guys! cowboy like me is my favorite song from evermore the melody and lyrics are amazing!!! she performed this song live for the first time with marcus mumford (does the background vocals on the studio version) in vegas for her tour! Speaking about tour I can’t wait for her to release the international dates, I’ve been saving money for 6 months and counting to be able to see her live🥺 thank you for this video and sorry about my english, i’m from brazil!

[@WaveReact]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Evermore would be epic live! And your english is great. We love people from Brazil, you’re always so nice ☺️

[@marykatedoyle9574]

Finally some closure appreciation! Taste!

[@WaveReact]

We love a good vocal effect/manipulation! Thanks for listening with us ☺️

[@susansnyder9271]

You guys are great. Love your set background too. Nice comments.

[@WaveReact]

Thank you so much!

[@allanaaron2281]

Thanks so much for recording as you listened and sharing it with us all. I love it. Also, I don't know if you will see this, but since you guys also love the national, will you perhaps record your reaction to their new album The First Two Pages of Frankenstein. Or perhaps even just a few songs like The Alcott off of it which is a song featuring Taylor Swift?

[@WaveReact]

That album is definitely on our radar! Thanks so much for listening with us ☺️

[@cfor8129]

I really like that interpretation of the song happiness omg

My new favourite channel❤ cowboy like is my favourite its hard to decide on one this album is masterpiece 🎉

[@mussoletart8485]

here for the closure appreciation ♡♡

[@TEAtimesTHREEE]

Omg the fact that tolerate it is one of your favorites 😭😭😭 sammmeee and it's so devastating

[@mcsheesh2611]

I like how excited the guy in red is whenever reacting to taylor's albums. He gets real giddy can't blame him.

[@samanthawoodcock8135]

I love Folkore but Evermore is my album! Marjorie cuts me deep because my grandma passed 11 days before the album was released and I remember hearing it for the first time driving home in the snow and crying so hard I had to pull over. I am easily in the top 20 biggest Bon Iver fans (I have 2 BI themed tattoos; Skinny Love and Flume), so Folklore hit me like a ton of bricks but Evermore is the one I find myself going back to over and over. I really appreciate you guys giving it the time of day, because it often gets lost in her discography. I'd love to hear and see more of your thoughts on each song and what meaning you get from them. I enjoy getting new perspectives from those who just truly appreciate every aspect of the music.

[@arianesaldanhaa]

Amazing reaction guys! Maybe you can do Midnights next ❤

[@WaveReact]

We definitely will soon!

[@booluther]

Love Evermore my second fave Taylor album ❤. Folklore is my favourite, but I think overall Evermore has higher highs but also lower lows.

[@Vitor-in7xp]

MELODRAMA BY LORDE NEXT!!!!!

[@bellamarquis8753]

YESSSS

[@Nutmeggiee]

Do midnights!! You’re gonna love commenting on the production, it’s so different but so fun!

[@jessikahall9699]

I love how you take time to share the story and meaning. I feel like in reactions the story/meaning gets lost, but not with you two

[@WaveReact]

Thanks so much! We have tried to improve with covering the meaning and background behind songs so I’m glad you noticed here. PS… Speak Now (TV) reaction just dropped! 🙃

[@mcsheesh2611]

Great videos, keep it up!

[@WaveReact]

Glad you like them!

[@samsnotstable]

Please do Melodrama by Lorde! It’s one of my favourite albums ever (jack and lorde produced the album together and it’s incredible)-Also so glad you love evermore

[@inmyReputation-Era]

Evermore had to grow on me. Prior to Folklore, Reputation was my favorite TS album. Then I heard Folklore and fell in love. I was doing mass amounts of therapy thanks to COVID and Folklore was my comfort album.

[@gingerwalker6900]

Right there with you.

[@sarabeth6897]

Same, Rep is still at the top of my list, but Folklore & Evermore are at the tippy top. Evermore definitely had to grow, but it might edge out Folklore for me.

[@yasetmusik581]

Happiness and Evermore. ART!!!

[@andreguilherme_]

Evermore is a very good album and I am amazed at how Taylor managed to release two albums in the same year with extremely competent concepts, lyrics and production!

[@grantpanganiban1133]

Thank you for pointing out that Lark connection, my HootOwl/Swiftie heart just kept clowning on that lmaoooo

[@avokittypup]

Champagne Problems ❤

[@emmavink]

Happiness and Right Where You Left Me are probably my favourite. So Happiness is strongly based on themes from The Great Gatsby. That book has a strong theme of the main character looking back and over the entire story as if from above. A bird's eye view, if you will. She is looking back over the relationship with slight distance and feeling all the pain, but also appreciating all the joy. It's obviously far more realistic than how Gatsby goes. But ja, the winning smile, the dress at midnight, Daisy hopes her daughter will be a beautiful fool when she grows up in the book, it references the green light from the great divide (across the bay in the novel). It's her most mature relationship to date, in my opinion and I love it so much 🥰

[@WaveReact]

I didn’t know that about Happiness and that makes a lot of sense! Really appreciate you listening and sharing that with us! -Ryan

[@isabellezversion]

team evermore forever and ever!

[@frankief1142]

The drums on “tis the damn season” remind me of the little drummer boy that’s where the Christmas vibes come to me!

[@WaveReact]

Dang, that's a good connection!

[@TEAtimesTHREEE]

With those strings in the beginning you can really tell that gold rush was Jack hehe... reminds me of the production on forever winter.

[@mallorymyers7525]

21:05 Yes. Finally, someone mentions that eye-popping line.

[@yousra8728]

I feel like you guys would enjoy "when facing the things we turn away from" by Luke hemmings great writing and vocals and production

[@WaveReact]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@zontzooit2415]

Team folklore tbh but I really do like a lot of songs on evermore like willow champagne problems, evermore, tolerate it, gold rush, cowboy like me!! I just wish it had a song like august (ivy is the closest) or a song like my tears ricochet

[@WaveReact]

My Tears Ricochet is god tier!! -Ryan

[@haleyoleary4522]

I would love if you reacted to Midnights, especially the 3 am tracks!

[@traroro]

I've been a folklore girlie because of what I've gone through 2021-22 but I'm now an Evermore girlie and I feel like I'm healing. 😅

[@vendell14]

Team evermore here!

[@WaveReact]

Same. -Zach

[@liz10988]

Would love to see Midnights but since it references many earlier albums I think you should start at her earlier albums and work your way back up to Midnights 😊❤

[@akutyam]

Team evermore 🥰

[@julieta8219]

Me encanta ❤

[@alohasargent]

Y'all know that Taylor wrote a song about the lead singer of Owl City, right? And he wrote one back to her in response? Maybe you could react to both songs, either now or when Taylor drops the Speak Now (Taylor's Version) re-recording?

[@WaveReact]

Yea! The whole Adam story arc was…interesting.

[@sam_sa09]

Team evermore ✴️

[@sarinasoren7818]

Evermore is my babygirl, it will always be my favorite. I know these songs by heart, and I feel a connection to every one. Part of this is that I don’t really connect with the whole James, Betty, and August story. It doesn’t speak to me as much. Thanks to this I discovered I know every single lyric on this album 😅 Wish I could sing, but it’s past midnight and I don’t want to wake anyone up.

[@acerico9929]

Don’t know if you guys know of Lorde, but would love to see one of you guys bring her to the table. Try out Melodrama certified pop classic! !!

[@SachinSharma-im9eq]

Champagne problem: pretty song but not happy...😅😅

[@WaveReact]

Hahaha

[@abcmlalola]

I’d love to see Midnights!

[@WaveReact]

We definitely plan to listen to Midnights!

[@WaveReact]

Big same. -Zach

[@goofyme1659]

Happiness is believed to be based on her best friends marriage and divorce. This was recorded while they were still T&J were still together

[@romyjmeow]

Team Evermore :>

[@WaveReact]

Same! -Zach

[@augustswift]

Team Evermore but August is the Best track from these sisters albums!

[@Steven-mf8zc]

NOT YOU DANCING TO EVERMORE. HAHA, SO CUTE. 😄

[@WaveReact]

🕺🏻

[@mollylogsdon3058]

You guys should do a video for Boygenius' new album 'the record'. I think you'd really like it!

[@Elgominator.]

Happiness isn't about her and Joe but about her best friend Abigail and her ex husband who divorce with her after seven years. Dorothea is about Selena Gomez and in no body no crime Este and the others HAIM sisters are her friends, she told in an interview that Evermore was also inspired by her friendship.

[@WaveReact]

Thanks for the info! I did find it interesting she said Este during NBNC. And regarding happiness I was just commenting that she could interpret it this way now that she and Joe are apparently over. I had no clue Dorethea was about Selena tho (love her!). Thanks for sharing and listening with us! -Ryan

[@soniclyqaulan]

midnight reaction next?

[@alvinnvalenzuela6868]

maybe you guys can listen to carly rae jepsen's discography? i hope you guys give her a listen as well 🙂 love the channel

[@jadegold8339]

Taylor said she wrote Happiness for her best friend and her divorce. Happiness isn’t about Taylor personally.

[@WaveReact]

Thanks!

[@nataliatc1]

😭😭🤍

[@Shady_Belle]

Very cool to see Closure get some love, it's such an interesting song, but very disliked in the community.

[@iKarla]

the fact that the normal album finishes with the word Evermore..............

[@jamephilips6910]

folklore - sad evermore - depressive

[@tvil8]

Does anyone else skip a song half way thru forever and then u hear it someone else and are like... wtf this is good why was i skipping it

[@WaveReact]

I don’t generally skip unless it’s utter trash, but I will say doing these reactions makes me listen closer so I end up noticing new things I hadn’t before which makes me appreciate them more. Which song on this album did that for you? -Ryan

[@sarabeth6897]

3 months late, and I’m sure someone else has corrected it, but Happiness isn’t about Joe. It’s about Scott Borchetta.

[@echoasuncion4456]

Guy in red flannel always excited to talk when the music still plays. They missed some of the great lyrics

[@WaveReact]

We enjoy giving each other commentary during the songs. That’s one of the reasons the lyrics are on screen. Sorry if it took away from your experience!

[@toreysmith5413]

I love that you dissect it throughout the song!

[@jodil7]

My dude! Joe co-wrote some of the songs on this album & it was during the pandemic. They were 1000% together. She talked about how fun it was writing sad, heartbreaking love songs with him. Happiness was the last song she wrote & it was because her best friend was getting divorced. Please don’t speculate on her personal life. She has asked time & time again that we don’t do that

[@WaveReact]

Thanks for the comment! Sorry I wasn’t clear when talking Happiness. I know the song wasn’t written about Joe considering they were together in 2020 when she wrote this. I was saying that now she could interpret it this way now that the relationship is apparently over. Appreciate you listening with us! -Ryan
