[@ohsleeze]

They did a near perfect job collabing. As a swiftie, I can't even say that either one of them carried Exile. The song couldn't exist without them both. A true performance. Both of them made it so good.

[@kaden_dayton]

Amen to that! The two of them on this were straight up magical!

[@user-ux7ud7vw4f]

Bon Iver was amazing yes, but there’s something so hauntingly beautiful about Taylor’s vocals, I will always love, and this song needed that to balance off him. They both carried it equally.

[@kaden_dayton]

I agree! I don’t think either is a winner, they sounded so good together that you can’t pick one!

[@AllTheArtsy]

Bon Iver is the band. Justin Vernon is on the vocals.

[@shinyy160]

Exactly itwould be a different song with Bon OR Taylor thats why this song is a masterpiece with both of them

[@ildikoparker920]

Both

[@jennabshire4428]

I love that this song is so beautiful. It's amazing they weren't even in the same location taping this.

[@tiffylew]

Comparison is the thief of joy. Both Taylor and Justin sound incredible, their writing is fantastic, they really compliment each other. Neither of them carry the performance. It’s a perfect duet. Now, Taylor did sing this on piano alone at the eras tour one night and it was So so so good. There’s also a live performance of Taylor and Justin singing it together. There’s no need to diminish either of them to prop up the other. Just enjoy the song for what it is.

[@kaden_dayton]

I completely agree! I think that neither one did better I’m just glad that we got the collab! Ahhh I wish I would’ve heard her sing this live! Thanks for watching!!:))

[@user-pj2cn4sn2o]

The long pond sessions are just one of the most unique things I've seen the whole album is amazing but it's a whole different feeling listening to this performance.

[@kaden_dayton]

Yah I really enjoyed this live setting! Their voices were insane and the vibes are just so good!!

[@darsynia]

What blew my mind was finding out the meanings behind songs I wasn't really enjoying as much (specifically Mirrorball and Epiphany), because it completely utterly changed the way I felt about them, especially Epiphany. I wish she would do this for every single song, my gosh.

[@savannahadams7422]

Taylor’s low vocals are my favorite❤️ but his low voice is insane 😅 I want more of them together.

[@bronwyn117]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Gorgeous!

[@jimmyhanlon727]

I think their voices mend so well together. I love Taylor's lower register. This song always gives me chills! You should do Cornelia Street live from Paris definitely!

[@kaden_dayton]

Ahhh I agree! Their harmonies were sooo pretty! Thanks for the suggestions!!:))

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

The combination of these two voices is so sweet and passionate makes me cry every time I hear Exile. "So I'm leaving out the side door" -- gut punch. Noticing the good lines -- you're showing great signs of becoming a Swiftie! I hope you keep going down the Long Pond sessions road. Maybe with My Tears Ricochet.

[@kaden_dayton]

Wow such a great breakdown! I agree, all those aspects are what make this song so powerful! I’ve had a lot of requests for my tears ricochet I think I’ll have to give it a listen soon!

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

My Tears is almost the opposite of the grief embedded in this song. In the LPS version, Taylor puts the most restrained, delicate fury into it. And we know where fury goes ... frieg. She really is a #mastermind. Thanks for the great reaction @@kaden_dayton

[@reneeharkness1337]

Their voices together are amazing! Loved them both!

[@kaden_dayton]

I agree! They work so well together!

[@irishcoco725]

Bon Iver usually sings much higher in his own music. He is an incredible artist. TS & Justin are the team up we needed.

[@kaden_dayton]

Amen to that! The dynamic duo!

[@sandratroehler3553]

Bon Iver IS NOT A PERSON. ITS A BAND.

[@krhunt629]

Justin Vernon of Bon Iver is a revelation in this song. The bass, the rich texture of his voice is magnificent. I think your assessment of how their voices compliment each other is insightful. The whole song is magnificent.

[@renyauger4560]

My fav song off Folklore and it introduced me to the unique voice of Justin Vernon. I’m enjoying getting to discover Bon Iver. Taylor is the gift that keeps on giving! A sonically & lyrically perfect album. Playing it on repeat helped me enormously during a very stressful time.

[@kaden_dayton]

Justin is fantastic!

[@sawyertaylorsversion]

love your taylor reactions! as a swiftie this is one of my favorite taylor songs of ALL TIME!

[@kaden_dayton]

Awww thanks!! It’s such a good one! I love it a lot as well!

[@sh4dylol]

yesss omg this performance gives me chills everyyyy time😩🩶 edit: I love bon iver’s voice !! Esp in this song; it is sooo hard trying to sing his part 😂😂

[@kaden_dayton]

It was soooo good!! Bon Iver kills it! His voice is so deep and that tone is unmatched!:))

[@Talia_M_Adams]

Literally the entire long pond studio session…but jot just the performance because they also discuss each track and it’s so amazing!

[@kaden_dayton]

There’s another one coming very soon!!:))

[@Violet316]

Taylor Swift's voice of course. If you had to go on a long trip, and you would only be able to take one artist's discography, who would you take? For me, Taylor Swift all day long, 10 albums of all different genres. I am a 64-year-old, who has loved her since her very first album.

[@katiefaz0110]

I agree, I’d choose her too!

[@tammycombs167]

👏👏👏57. Feel the very same way.

[@kaden_dayton]

It's a tough call for me! They both kill it!

[@amcam80]

I would have to bribe someone so I could take Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton. I can listen to both of their discographies on shuffle/ repeat.

[@donnad1204]

Beautiful together. Taylor can go deep and high, so can he. They are different and mix together well. One doesn’t have to be better.

[@kaden_dayton]

yes they mix together so well

[@aandrebalen]

WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! another awesome reaction ✌🏻

[@kaden_dayton]

Aww thanks!! Glad to give you what you been waiting for!:))

You know me so well ahha! Thanks for watching!:))

[@RecoveringDilatentte]

Pleasantly surprised to get the notification for this one. It’s been one of my favourite songs for a while.

[@Bronsongoodwin]

OH this is my first time watching you! I'm glad you're tryna see more of her craft. SHE'S just so good at it

[@kaden_dayton]

Aww thanks!! I appreciate the support! I’m trying to get more into her!

[@alexisstecz3804]

I'd love a whole album from these 2! Their voices blend so well together!

[@haineko1989]

This is a duet in the fullest meaning of this word possible - you cannot choose one or the other, they are two halves of a whole here... And I agree, Tay outdid herself with writing on this one

[@Bronsongoodwin]

Yesssss!! Love this reaction!!😊😊

[@kaden_dayton]

Thanks!!

[@mcintyrechristina1637]

I love this song soooo much! I can’t get enough of it! Their voices blend beautifully!

[@Carolina_Girl_]

Justin’s voice is phenomenal but I’m sticking with my girl here bc what makes this such an amazing song is both of them together. Taylor knew she wanted him on this track bc of his low voice and they just made magic together with this one!

[@kaden_dayton]

Yah I don’t think either is the winner here the winner is us for being able to hear them together on this track haha

[@Carolina_Girl_]

@@kaden_dayton Absolutely! Keep shining my guy✨

[@armando.336]

❤ good video, you’ll notice that Taylor tends to willingly take back stage when she collaborates with others. She collaborates with performers for a reason! She likes their voice and she doesn’t wanna overshadow it.

[@kaden_dayton]

yeah that makes sense!

[@lcan7390]

Stunning vocals from both beautiful 🥹🩷

[@darsynia]

This one is much better, IMO, than the original studio version, mostly because they seemed to have produced the previous one to have a lot of extra echoing stuff that detracts from the power of the vocals and the emotions they're conveying. I recommend any of the Long Pond, but I also think it would be interesting if you listened to the 1989 performance of Out of the Woods live, then contrasted it with the Grammy Museum version of the same song. The vibes are completely different, both live, the latter much more intimate. The EAS channel has both in high def!

[@kaden_dayton]

I agree! Love this version

[@melissadean6874]

Oh my goodness! I can't pick who I like more on this song. It wouldn't be as magical without both of them. I have probably listened to this hundreds of times and it still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes.

[@kaden_dayton]

Amen to that! The two of them together is so magical! This song could not have been done as a solo!

[@NTav540]

My gosh, cannot decide which is the best voice here. Marvelous.

[@arsenialedbetter0869]

I love Taylor Swift’s voice of course…..but Bon Iver was pretty amazing also!!! But man, when you put them together….. simply divine!!!

[@kaden_dayton]

Amen to that! The two of them together was straight up magical!!

[@rosebugnay7919]

This is my favorite song collab. I love it!

[@sallyperrie3007]

I wouldn’t describe it as fun. Heartbreaking haunting. They both carried it. It was near perfect

[@madelinemihacevich6313]

Ooh I love this version way more than the original!!! Their voices sound so good together

[@kaden_dayton]

Right? So good!!

[@toniallen1130]

I love deep voices too. They are like a warm blanket

[@chrisgoodmanson1323]

[@sue5158]

The magic is in the blend. Both.

[@lindaweston4482]

Bon Iver is the names of his group. The amazing voice belongs to Justin Vernon. It's a beautiful song. Taylor is incredibly talented.

[@kaden_dayton]

yeah they killed this!

[@mariesipes1606]

Their voices are so great together! I’d love to see another colab with the two of them! I love their voices equally! They are both so different but this song is a great mesh together!❤

[@kaden_dayton]

I AGREE

[@susangalloway3055]

Love the pairing of their voices.

[@Ella-tq3ov]

I think they both did amazing

[@elainegilmartin7103]

Never heard this song but loved them both together.

[@user-ww9tw7mx7k]

His name is Justin Vernon. His band is Bon Iver. Taylor wrote the song (lyrics & music) during COVID lockdown, sent the recording to Justin & he sent it back w/his vocals added, along with the bridge, which he wrote & added. They both make it work. I don't think the song would fly as a solo.

[@kaden_dayton]

Yeah Justin is a fantastic artist. Been following him from the beginning

[@GinaHarrisToo]

These song lyrics are perfection.

[@terryblair966]

They sound great together ❤.

[@angelas.g.9848]

THEY ARE EQUALLY OUTSTANDING.

[@kaden_dayton]

[@CherC68]

Different voices, I don't like comparisons, this was such a beautiful performance by both artitsts.

[@kaden_dayton]

[@GinaHarrisToo]

You picked the best song she’s ever written and performed! ❤❤❤

[@tamarawyatt9360]

Love love Bon Iver’s voice. Love this song!!!! I think their voices together was amazing!!!

[@kaden_dayton]

I agree!!

[@sachamp85]

You should see her live performance of exile on the eras tour. The emotion she brings to her performances is truly something that sets her apart from a lot of modern artists.

[@kaden_dayton]

yes I need to for sureee

[@deborahgrabien3125]

Why do I have to like one "better"? The entire point is two voices in gorgeous counterpoint. It's not a competition and there's no prize, except for the listener.

[@r0gue_988]

No, neither of them carried the performance. That's part of why their vocals sound so good together; it doesn't sound like one is outdoing the other. They complement each other rather than competing.

[@gaylenwoof]

Perhaps the most important thing to know at this point is that her music ranges over several styles and genres. Here is another song from the Long Pond that you need to hear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWa2gnx7eMqXirs My Tears Ricochet (Long Pond Sessions) (BTW: be sure to listen to the very last second of the video. The sigh at the end is iconic. Lots of reactors cut too soon or don't notice it.) For something completely different, this one is essential to swiftie culture. (It is also fantastic in the Eras Tour movie, but I don't know how to give you a clip for that.) The entire "Reputation Stadium Tour" movie is fantastic.

[@kaden_dayton]

I’ve had a lot of requests for my tears ricochet… that one must be a straight banger haha! Thanks for the suggestions!!:))

[@jodtay]

I have no understanding of all the technical things you said but I know I love this song and love both their voices and how well they sound together. These two are a perfect vocal match and I hope they do more collabs together, especially emotional songs like Exile.

[@kaden_dayton]

yeah they sound so great together!

[@laverneswartz]

Both sounds amazing

I thought they were great together and I also thought this was my favorite Swift vocal that I've heard so far. So soft and as you said airy.

[@gwenstone9685]

[@lifeisgoodll]

Imo this is the best breakup song ever written and performed. It is hauntingly beautiful. Stunning.

it is so good!

[@Ricky48888]

Hey Taylor's voice is great on everything.

I agree!! She sounded AMAZING!!

[@charbenz2768]

You should also check out the Reputation Stadium Tour. Start at the beginning, "Are you ready for it?" ❤

[@kaden_dayton]

Thanks for the suggestion!!:))

[@EmpressMovieNerd]

Agreed lyrically a perfect song. It feels like an unspoken conversation between two former lovers passing each other in the street. By far one of my all time favorite songs! Vocally they sound like velvet and silk. So perfect, sexy and haunting. 🫶

[@kaden_dayton]

Yes totally! It is so cool

[@zoewesenberg7543]

Justin's voice was super low even when we were kids in middle school. His falsetto was such a surprise when he started singing like that.

[@ellieandthetorts]

Ive always thought wouldve couldve shouldve is her best lyrically. Thats definitely a great option for next

[@kaden_dayton]

Hmm I’ll have to check out that one if it’s your number one!!

[@julialuizamesquita1967]

I’m a swiftie and for me the voice of Bon is like 🤯🤯🤯🤯😍😍😍😍

[@JHeyworth1]

I love both voices

[@kaden_dayton]

same

[@ameliadavis1979]

Taylor and her then boyfriend wrote this. She sang both parts(Joe isn't a singer) then sent it to Aaron Dessner. She asked Aaron if Justin could sing the guys part. The Long Pong Sessions, Folklore and Evermore were made during Covid. Aaron, his wife, Jack Antinoff and Taylor stayed at Aarons compound in Upstate New York to record The Long Pond Sessions. Justin is in his studio. Taylor sent Aaron a text out of the blue at the start of Covid. They made the Folklore and Evermore albums not ever being together. Taylor was a fan and had met The National years before at an awards show. That was the only time they had spoke.

[@kaden_dayton]

ahhh that's so cool! Thanks for the info!

[@yara5502]

So Justin singing more agressively and Taylor lighter on this song is on purpose, it shows the dynamic of the two people in that relationship. Taylor has said that this is two ex lovers meeting when she is out with her new lover, and her ex is angry, jelous and questioning why it is over and she is saying I gave you so many signs and chances, and as the song progresses they start to talk over eachother and almost screaming by the end.

[@kaden_dayton]

yes the dynamics blend so well

[@Jenny-i6r]

Just subscribed .. this is my favorite song from here.. this is the first duet I’ve heard that responds back and forth. They sounded great together. Both didn’t over do each other. Cameraman is not a T.Swift fan.

If someone really wants to see the levels of storytelling she can do, they need to check out the "Cardigan, August, and Betty trilogy" from this album.. all 3 songs are from the perspective of 3 different people and it's absolutely amazing to connect them and know the story!!

[@kaden_dayton]

Yes I need to hear that trilogy!

[@Jessijokes]

Bon Iver carried is such a weird and likely biased response to this. The song is beautiful only because of the contrast of their voices, along with how what they are saying contrasts each other. I’m a dedicated swiftie but this is one of those songs where the performance only works because they are complimenting each other. Take either of them away and the song is nothing. So neither of them can carry. It’s all about how they are coming together, which has a lovely irony since it’s a song about two people who came apart.

[@savannahadams7422]

If you like this you need to listen to Coney Island (feat. The national) then watch the rest of the Folklore Long pond studio sessions. The writing on that whole album is amazing! Then move to Folklore’s sister Evermore. 😅 Folklore is Taylor’s best album. I said it.

This is actually Justin Vernon of the group Bon Iver. He usually sings in an odd sort of falsetto, and I don't know why when he can do this. I will take Taylor's voice always, as she always makes you feel what she's singing about, and her writing is insanely good. This performance, however, is iconic, and always gives me goose bumps. So much passion.
