This is my first time ever hearing this Taylor Swift song. I found it to be both devastatingly sad and haunting. The production was top notch and I LOVED how the main theme of the song was vocal melody.

This is about her old label. The owner, Scott Borchetta made a deal behind her back and sold all her masters to Scooter Braun. It was absolutely devastating for her to lose her life’s work. At least we now get the Taylor Version’s and Vault Tracks. But this song is super powerful and you can hear the pain in her voice.

This song touches a topic that swifties can't resist explaining 💀: While it's written as a breakup song, This is one of Taylor's songs about Scott Bortchetta, who signed her to his brand new record label in 2006 when she was a teenager. He built it from the ground up with her essentially being the reason for its success. He was incredibly close to Taylor, with her often saying she considered him family, but in 2019, went behind her back to sell the ownership of the master recordings of her first six albums to Scooter Braun, a man who Taylor has been previously vocal about disagreeing with. This experience is a theme Taylor has explored a few times in songs, as ownership of her work is something that means a lot to her, and the betrayal of Scott was something that hurt her deeply. This sale of her work is what has led to the absolute badass move that is rerecording. While the original masters are no longer hers to own, Taylor has original writing credits and so can produce identical rerecordings of her albums, with the only difference being (Taylor's version) in the track names, as well as a few additional album discards from the original writing sessions, labelled as "vault tracks". She has never explicitly stated that this song is based on this experience but it's generally accepted, although she has said the song reminds her of the emotions people feel while going through divorce. A few lines from the song that make more direct reference to this: "When you can't sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies" "You wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me"

@@DeathMetalDadReacts This whole entire album was written during Cóvîd lockdown, and I suggest reacting to the entire session of “The Long Pond Studio Series. I would also suggest listening to only the Taylor’s version(s) as Scott Brochetta and Scooter Braun don’t get her royalties. ♥️👏🙌🤘

Highly recommend if you do more Folklore songs you watch the Long Pond Studio Sessions. While the studio versions are good, the Long Pond sessions are really unmatched. This song especially. You can see the depth of meaning of this song in her face unlike most songs. This is one of the most personal songs to her according to her.

Even if you don't do a reaction of it, for yourself, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the acoustic version of this on the Long Pond Studio Sessions. Her vocal performance is gut-wrenching and she is between fury and crying through most of the performance. She also drives the cadence more strongly just with the vocal. It really is impactful. It's a solo written track by Taylor about her broken working and mentor relationship with the manager of her old record label. Scott Borchetta was the one who sold the back catalogue of her work (my stolen lullabies) to Scooter Braun. Scott was like a second father figure to her and sold the rights to her music town the creek after a decade of her making him Uber rich 😭😭😭

studio version is better

@@bodiielectriic I disagree. I find it overproduced the more I listen to it. I don't like the gimmicks of waiting for the drop. For me, it takes away from the emotional impact of that INCREDIBLE bridge. It works really beautifully for the Eras performance.

@@bodiielectriic... So the best part of Taylor's song is the part she didn't write...? If that's what you like, that's what you like. I prefer the song with the instrumentals as she wrote them. Not against a backing track she didn't write 🤷‍♀️

@@emmavink I forgot how annoying some swifties are. We all know Taylor is a lyrical genius but yes, sonically, the beat drop adds to the song making it that much better. Sure long pond shows emotion but studio version is far better. Also, she created the entire song, or helped with it. Sorry you dont like some of the work she puts into the studio production.

Okay, but, this song has some serious metal lines imo. Like who even says things like "if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too"? You can just hear the anger and disdain in her voice as she talks about her experience with the ultimate betrayal.

You’re so right! 5:37 I personally would call this style “ethereal” i love that you actually pick up on the clever and poignant words she writes I’d love it if you’d react to Scottish band Cocteau Twins “pearly dewdrops drop” They’re an amazing ethereal group from Scotland that mostly recorded during the 1980s ❤

I can’t remember if I’ve asked this, but would you do a reaction to G-Flip covering Cruel Summer? There is point in the song where they start playing drums while singing. It’s more of a rock/punk version of the song. I think you’d really like it! You can find a couple versions on here. One is in the studio, and one is live at “Party in the Paddock.” Both are good, but I think the live version is more fun!
