The bridge gets me everytime to the point that I listen to marjorie for the bridge itself 😭

[@mendwithmere]

It’s so good❤

[@meredithsickel2709]

Our girl loves her bridges 🙃

[@Jwjjbwn]

The bridge is the highlight in the song….

[@feelingReckless13]

I have never heard this song without getting choked up and chills at the part when Taylor sings "and if I didn't know better, I'd think you were singing to me now" and her grandmother's voice comes soaring in. It's just so beautiful.

[@uranus_crunch_cake87]

This song gets me so choked up. All of my grandparents had died by the time I was in kindergarten. I only have a few vague memories of my grandma on my mom's side. I never really had the experience of being "spoiled by grandma and grandpa." Sometimes I get a little jealous. Lol

[@carolynstamp6238]

Same. I get this.

[@mendwithmere]

Thank you so much for sharing. That’s so young to lose them all. Also, jealousy is an emotion so it is totally normal to have it ❤

[@CarlosGonzalez-cb9jf]

Hi Mere! Been loving all your reactions, there is a song called Right where you left me, I think it really shows how we can get affected by abandonment, and how hard it can be to move on from the idea we once had of love, cheers from Mexico!

[@mendwithmere]

Yes! I’m definitely going to film it this week. So many requests for this! Sending you ❤

[@raymarksobebe5058]

yes pls react to right where u left me and Begin Again (Taylor’s Version)

[@annielapierre9838]

Yessss plsss 🥰

[@roberttruhn5067]

I've been trying to convince my mother (in her mid-80s) to write out some of her childhood memories of life in the outer boroughs of NYC as a keepsake/memoir for her grandchildren. The inspiration for that request came from this song. Thanks, Taylor and Mere!

[@mendwithmere]

Hi Robert! Yes, it’s so important. If she won’t write them out, you could ask her if you could record the stories so you have them on audio? It’s so important to have and I hope you get it!❤

[@catneedham4913]

Me too! I sent my mom a Storyworth subscription inspired by this song so I could have some of her memories written down

[@Pat_Speaks]

This song is so beautiful and inspiring. My best friend, who was like the sister I never had, was tragically killed 53 years ago but I have never forgotten her and how she inspired me. She has always been alive in my heart. Now at 73 and I look at the picture of her age 21, newly married and 3 months shy of finishing college…forever young. By the way, I had to tell her husband that she had been killed on that snowy, icy Illinois weather in 1971.

[@Neftis23]

​@@mendwithmereMy maternal grandmother is suffering from terminal cancer, and my mother has suggested that I record conversations with her about her life and then transcribe them myself. I have the first part of it, and on the next trip we are going to take to visit her, I hope to have several more parts of it. Also, I had also thought about asking her to give me her wedding ring, because I have many things that she has made specifically for me, but the ring is something that she has had for the 51 years that she has been married to my grandfather. There is a small drawback, and that is that she is a deeply religious believer, and that may make her want to give it to my grandfather before me, but trying to keep her from it.

[@lmzeller]

My mum's name was Margary and I lost her 3yrs ago. This song is my absolute fave on this album. It hits so hard

[@madmarrr]

My grandmother lived until 2019, but my grandfather passed in 2000. It was extremely hard because it was unexpected. My biggest worry was how my grandmother would cope with losing her soulmate, so we had all these long talks about him. She said that the hardest part of the day was going to bed and him not being there. She had chronic insomnia for a while. Then a friend told her she should write a letter to my grandfather to say all the things she didn’t have time to say at the end because it all happened so fast. She wrote him a letter and put it under her pillow. She told me she had a beautiful dream about him that night and her insomnia stopped. I like to think it was his way of letting her know he was okay and that she could move forward in life. This song makes me think of both of them. They’ll be forever missed.

[@mendwithmere]

That is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!

[@Midnightsadv1bez]

Instantly started sobbing. 😭

[@kxue]

This song makes my heart so warm and gets me emotional especially the bridge. It reminds me of my grandfather who I remember so well and lost when I was around 7. It's also a wake up call to spend more time with my grandmother who I haven't visited for a few weeks. Sometimes we're so busy with our lives that we forget about those who love us the most. EDIT thank you Mere. I called my grandmother after listening to this. I'm pretty sure it made her week 💖

[@mendwithmere]

Awww ❤ I’m so glad it touched your heart in this way. The bridge gets me too and I’m so glad you have memories of him. Also, this demonstrates how powerful music can be! It inspired you to call your grandma, which means so much to her, and keeps you connected. I just love this!

[@Fqkizz]

"Should've kept every grocery store receipt, cause every scrap of you would be taken from me" Always makes me cry 😢

[@m4ckenziedc]

“What died didn’t stay dead” Okay idk if there are any other gardeners out there but this reminds me of many plants and specifically the hibiscus. Hibiscus are so sensitive if you move them or the season changes they can shed all their leaves and look totally dead. But then if you give them some time they bud and bloom again. So many times I have had guests say “that plant looks dead throw it out” and they dont realize that soon it will bounce back. Even when you think there is no hope, you can be surprised

[@eltonfan62]

Everytime I hear this song I start welling up. Just think how her grandmother who left all her back log of dreams to Taylor would feel if she were able to see that little girl had became the biggest record breaking music Supertar this world has ever seen!

[@brisamalone266]

I love your vulnerability and I don’t worry about getting emotional! I also get emotional listening to the songs when you break them down for us, they truly hit different! I cry almost every time I watch your videos course you explain the songs so beautifully! I don’t mind it, I actually kind of like it, everyone needs a good cry every once in a while🥹🤍

[@aidenrushing9841]

The pictures at minute 13:20 . . . literally a Taylor move from day one of her performing as a teenager. The way she moves her hands just like Marjorie. Oh, my whole soul . . .

[@elisamaer9914]

My siblings and I just had our maternal grandfather see us a few times when we were growing up in the Philippines. He lived in the southern part of the country and had to take the ship to see us. Our father and his siblings were orphaned when he was 4 yrs old so we never even met them. I hear this song and it makes me emotional . What a beautiful tribute by Taylor to her grandma!

[@mendwithmere]

Thank you for sharing this. It’s painful when you don’t even get to meet them. Let the emotions flow bc it is a loss. Sending you ❤

[@georginamoreira6723]

I remember the first time that I listen to this song. My grandma die august 2019, she raised me, she was my mom in so many ways. This song came a year later and help me so much to remember her with a smile, help me to understand that maybe she's gone, but not really gone. She's a real poet, I love her ❤️

[@probablyaman]

I really appreciate your reactions! I’ve always liked Taylor’s songs but I’ve never really read into the lyrics much. But I stumbled upon you with the You’re on your own kid reaction video and I love how honest and eloquent you are when relating to the music. And it made me appreciate Taylor’s music on a whole different level. I also like how different you are compared to a lot of swifties online who tend to focus too much on the history of Taylor and forget that Taylor is painting an imagery for all of the listeners with her songs. I find that so refreshing and I hope you will continue to do more reaction videos on Taylor and other artists ❤

[@brinacomps8852]

i would love to see an analysis of High Infidelity and Mastermind too! :)

[@mendwithmere]

Yes! They are on the list ❤

[@annielapierre9838]

Omg yes 🙏🙏🙏

[@achyutarjun]

I never got to know either of my grandmothers. I was 1-1.5 yo when they passed away. But I still get chills "if I didn't know better, I'd think you were singing to me now" and Marjorie's vocals start playing in the background..

[@samuelcappi5205]

This song always makes me emotional. About 3 years ago my grandparents passed away just 3 weeks apart after both suffering from dementia for several years (everyone says it's like my granddad died from a broken heart). I still miss them so much and I feel like grief is not talked about enough so I really appreciate these videos.

[@fiemy6888]

I’m absolutely bawling my eyes out! I miss my grandma so so much, even though it's been 4 years. I relate so much to this song, and hearing you talk about your grandpa really brought forth a wave of memories. To me the “if I didn't know better, I’d think you were still around” is also about those moments when I think to myself ‘I haven't seen her in a while, I miss her so I should go visit!’ and then the painful memory that I can't just do that... Thank you Meredith, I’m really enjoying your analysis of these songs❤

[@mendwithmere]

Isn’t that the hardest?! When you have a moment where you want to do something you’d normally do and then remember they aren’t there. It’s such deep pain. Sending you ❤!

[@cynhanrahan4012]

This song always makes me cry. It's so emotionally connected. I hear my grandmother, I hear my dead fiance. I'm a poet so I wrote a generational poem starting with my grandmother. And because I am also a psychic medium (don't care if you believe), they do come visit as long as we need them.

[@DaisyMaeAllDay]

This song came out shortly after my Great Grandmother Marjory passed away at the age 104. Hearing this song for the first time when listening to evermore brought me to tears. I love this song so much, but I can't listen to it without mentally preparing for the memories that will be brought up of my Gigi. (That's what I called her.) She's alive in my head.

[@jamesgeary4294]

So I never watched the lyric video, but the outro got me when they were hugging, brought back thoughts of my grandmother who died fifteen years ago.

[@sofiaabate8262]

I cannot listen to this song without crying, because I lost my grandmother a few years back and I feel like I lost time by not being with her when I could have. My grandmother used to give me lots of advice and when I lost her I didn’t know what to do. When she sings “I should’ve asked you questions, I should’ve asked you how to be” I break down in tears. And what you said about that feeling of them being there, I like to think my grandparents’ soul is in my little teddy bear, and it has been a great way for me to connect with them, even though they aren’t here anymore.Thank you for making these videos, I’m so glad you’re analyzing/reacting to Taylor songs because because she is such a clever lyricist.

[@mendwithmere]

She is such a clever lyricist. Thank you for sharing this. Their souls are there with you and you can still talk to them and ask for direction in a way you’d understand. I love that you were so close to your grandma and would tons of advice and at the same time, it’s then so hard bc the void feels great when you don’t have that everyday. I’m sending you ❤

[@sofiaabate8262]

@@mendwithmere thank you 💕

[@emilysmart377]

This song makes me feel so so so many things. When this song was released, it was one day after the one year anniversary of my mothers passing. I remember just sitting on my bed, headphones in, sobbing. Grief is so weird sometimes, I see my mum everywhere all the time, in my siblings, in the birds chirping, in silly little phrases she’d say all the time. I’m all the way in New Zealand and I’d never dreamed I’d hear it live ever, never thought Taylor would play it live, but long story short I ended up managing to get tickets to the opening night of the eras tour, this was the first time since my mum’s passing that I truly just did something for myself and I had no idea she’d play this song. When I heard the first notes of the song I was immediately sobbing, it was like my mum was giving me and hug and telling me she was with me. Every now and then I come back to this song just to feel a bit closer to her. It so beautifully describes the complexity of missing someone so deeply.

[@bobbyrw1398]

Sitting here all teared up watching this. Thank you Mere. I needed this.

[@ashleymeyers2597]

I'm going through this right now, and makes me tear up everytime I hear this song recently, my grandma is passing away soon, and the part where she says "what died didn't stay dead, you're alive in my head" makes me think of how my grandma was such a vibrant and free spirit, and how when she passes away I'll always remember her that way

[@w1cked.dreqms]

I think you would love the song “Family Line” by Conan Gray, especially having the perspective of a therapist

[@mendwithmere]

Yes! I keep hearing about this song so I’ll definitely do it. ❤

[@English3Muffin]

I first heard this song last summer while driving past the freeway exit we used to take to my grandparents’ home. I was thinking of them and grieving, especially for my grandmother Marjorie. The way this song absolutely shook me to my core. I nearly pulled off the freeway from the emotions. I didn’t realize I had downloaded Taylor’s discography and I don’t think I had heard anything but Willow from Evermore. I didn’t even know that was Taylor Swift singing at first. I have never had such a powerful reaction to a song in my life. At the time I just couldn’t believe someone was singing the grief I was feeling in that exact moment I was actually feeling it and then actually naming my grandma’s name. It’s been a few years and I still hold so much grief for her. I’ve had a lot of regret about not being there for her in her final years. This song makes me cry every single time. And I am so beyond grateful that it exists and gives me such a beautiful outlet to express my grief and my love for my grandma. ❤

[@virginialiriano8001]

I love this! two days ago i was thinking about you reacting and analyzing this lyrics and now you have done. Its feel awesome. Can you do Maroon?😢

[@mendwithmere]

Yes! I’ve gotten many requests for it ❤

[@kels8825]

Something about you makes me feel so so safe 🤍

[@mendwithmere]

that means so much to me

[@laurah.7832]

I only had the chance to get to know my grandma on my mothers side. We adored each other. I miss her so much since she passed in 2023.... I have kept her mid century leather couch set, a framed picture of her and a beautiful old fantasy carpet with deers and other nature motives. Still It does feel like "every every scrap of her would be taken from me" Still don't know how to handle this at the eras tour. I love this song but I can't listen without SOBBING

[@TheAnastyB]

Couldn’t agree more to your reaction and stories, so relatable. This song always gets me, it’s been years but I’m still longing for my grandfather to be around…

[@mendwithmere]

Same! You can still talk to him and do anything that makes you feel connected. Maybe it is this song ❤

[@crystalkadletc1944]

I was listening to Evernote yesterday while I was studying politics 😂 I needed Taylor to help me focus. This song is so beautiful.

[@polinamatsapey3540]

Thank you for reacting to this song! When it was released I thought how lucky I am that my grandma is still with me. Listening to it really made me appreciate time we spent together. I even sat down with her and made a family tree Unfortunately she passed away last year. The song helped me to accept this and reflect my feelings. Now every time I want to feel my grandma I just turn this song on🤍

[@ak_alisonswift]

I can’t ever listen to this song without crying 😭

[@taylorswiftsdaughter396]

the first time i heard this song i instantly thought of my great grandpa who sadly passed away september of 2020 i wasn’t able to attend his funeral because it was going to be in mexico and i was younger than i am now so my mom didn’t let me go but i get when she said “and i complained the whole way there the car ride back and up the stairs” because when i was a child i didn’t necessarily hate going to his place but i found it “boring” but when i arrived i had the best times with him i also get when she says “i should’ve asked you questions i should’ve asked you how to be” because i’m going through a really tough time rn and i sometimes wonder “how would he handle this? or what would he tell me?” and it hurts to think that i’ll never get to know it broke my heart when she said “cause every scrap of you would be taken from me” it’s a difficult line to listen to when i can relate to it so much i can’t hear it without crying because every piece of him that i had is now gone i couldn’t even get a piece of his clothing because everything he used to own is in mexico with my family i just wish i could have his jacket he wore all the time or his cologne that he wore because i loved the way he smelt and sometimes i feel like he’s with me or watching over me one time i was in target with my older sister and this little old man passed by me and i got a faint sniff of his scent and he smelt so much like my great grandpa and it almost brought me to tears because it was like his way of telling me “estoy aquí mi hermosa mariposa”

[@melandloloveholo2519]

This song makes me bawl every time I hear it. It makes me think of my grandma and grandpa whom I've lost. I'm about to lose my grandfather soon but we have more of a strained relationship and I haven't been able to reach out to him. He has Alzheimer's and doesn't recognize his oldest daughter so there's also a part of me that doesn't want to experience that too.

[@weazybeee7328]

I always loved this song. I could listen to it on repeat all the time. But. Sadly my mother passed about a month and half ago and now when this song come on I can’t help but tear up and skip it. It’s such a beautiful song but it’s so hard to listen to it now.

[@MHameister1]

Hey Mere! I just found your channel this week and I have been absolutely hooked on your videos. I lost my grandfather right after high school, at a time where I definitely took him for granted as an adolescent even though he taught me so much about my love for music. This song brings me so much comfort and it was also comforting hearing you talk about your grandfather as well. Like you, my grandmother also did an auction and we lost so much of him that it still makes me emotional. I understand how you feel on a deep level. ❤️ Side note - I would love to see you do a reaction to “Dear Reader” and “The Archer”. I think you would enjoy both songs. 😌

[@alonso071]

omg this made me cry. My Grandma gave me her old sweater, i love this sweater, i dont know where it is but i miss it dearly.

[@angelashockley7717]

I don’t know if you saw it, but Taylor put Marjorie in the credits as “background vocals.” I thought that was really cool. 🙂 PS-I see that it has been mentioned, so I will add my voice to the request…Could you please react to “It’s Okay To Be Not Okay” by Imagine Dragons?

[@Binx_and_Flynn]

I absolutely love this song, I can't listen to it without crying! Please review Matilda by Harry Styles!! IMO, one of his better songs. It sounds like he wrote for someone he loves but never really saw.

It's so strange to me because I put this on and I just realized the jacket I'm wearing used to belong to my grandmother. I didn't know her she died not long after I was born (I am the last grandchild and I always thought that she was just holding out so she could meet all her grandbabies and hold them because she had been sick for years before

Hi Mere! Can you react to: I knew you were trouble? That song to me also ties to John Meyer.

She should still do it though

[@mimibelta259]

@@coppelia84211 i wasn’t saying that mere shouldn’t react to it I was just saying that the commenter was wrong about the relationship it was about sorry I know who most of the song are about and unless someone said I knew you were trouble is about John Mayer in an article or Taylor said it I believe she approved that it was actually about her very short relationship with Harry styles

I believe there’s no such thing as coincidence. I’m not sure if you have heard of or have any knowledge about the Akashic Records but I guarantee if you had someone open them for you that your Grandpa would come Thru. I lost my Dad in April this year and I had my first experience with the records in June and my Dad was basically busting the door down with messages to me. It was so so so comforting and unbelievable and just perfect. 🥹
