REACTION | Grandma Reacts to "Soon You'll Get Better" by Taylor Swift

[@lonbub6832]

Gaga, my kids call my mom Gaga too! We love you from Florida! Did anyone comment on the dice in the background yet? 13!

[@MabieIsland]

Winner!!! You got it!!! Our easter egg! You will be shouted out in our next video!!

[@lonbub6832]

Mabie Island 🌴 Haha! CHEERS! Love you guys!

[@ibluess.m]

OH YA omg woww

[@TaraCreel]

My interpretation of “I know I’ll never get it,” is her saying I can’t EMPATHIZE with you, but I can SYMPATHIZE. Meaning she’s not in her shoes. She can’t feel her moms fears herself, but she can feel as much as possible being so close to it but not experiencing the diagnosis herself.

[@MabieIsland]

Wow. Very insightful and powerful.

[@mcnoneya]

Yup, as someone with a chronic illness myself( not cancer,) there are just things that my family no matter how close they are or how much they love me, they’ll never understand. There have been times when I try and explain what something feels like and I’m like “you know when you can’t breath and ____” and their like “no no idea or “you know how when you have __ pain and __ happens” And again im like “what am I doing you have no idea what I’m talking about. But then I go on my facebook groups and I hear people describe what certain things feel like and I’m like “woah okay, someone gets it, I’m not alone “

[@moonlitpearl700]

I am crying hearing it again. I lost my mom to cancer. I miss her so much. Hoping and praying that her mom will get better soon! Love your reactions and comments. Love you all!

[@queengagaislander7707]

I'm sorry about your loss. I too experienced my Mom having cancer..twice..it did not take her..she died in old age. My Dad died of Leukemia at the age of 58. They are with Jesus.

[@moonlitpearl700]

I am looking forward to seeing my loved ones again because of Jesus’ promise at John5:28,29. It will be a wonderful time. Thank you for your kind words.❤️

[@queengagaislander7707]

Thank you Margo, we love and appreciate you!💕

[@MabieIsland]

Oh Margo God Bless you sweetheart. Please make sure you subscribe. Please become a part the Islander family!

[@perrylord1622]

Watching Taylor one interview, she was talking about going to the mall with her friends. So she calls them, yet each one says they’re not going...no, not today. She asks mother to take her anyway. They get to the mall, she and her mother...and there are her friends. They lied to her. They didn’t want her to go, they straight up lied to her. Her relationship with her mother is so important. So strong. Her mother is always there.

[@MabieIsland]

Ohhh this. Yes I have read this story. Thank you so much for sharing it again. #trueswiftie We love you Perry!

[@user-gw5gx8gn2g]

Is there a title from the interview? I'd like to watch it

[@jeanclaude78]

I had friends do that to me too 😔

[@alejandrapinto7391]

Stupid girls!i would go with taylor to the mall.she is so funny and super nice person!

[@katiethompson9965]

For the "I know delusion when I see it in the mirror" I think it corresponds to another line in the verse "I just pretend it isn't real". It's almost like she's trying to convince herself that things are okay and that there's nothing wrong so to speak, but she cant trick herself. That's just what I think

[@queengagaislander7707]

I agree.😊🌴💕

[@MabieIsland]

Oh wow. Very well said.

[@KLR307]

Katie Thompson I agree.

[@mcnoneya]

I thought the same. I have a chronic illness myself, been sick since the day I was born, and when you have those good days, whose good weeks and it keeps going you tell yourself you’re fine, “it’s all gonna be okay” you do anything you can to avoid thinking about your reality

[@tassomando5391]

The first time I heard the first line of "soon you'll get better" I started crying. Since I am a swiftie since 2008 I got somehow attached to Andrea Swift as well. I am sure all the swifties feels the same way. So to know that she is going through something terrible makes me so upset and sad. I really hope and pray she recovers from it.

[@HM-mi8co]

My dad and sister had cancer and in May, my mom was diagnosed with it, it breaks my heart and I really pray for them and everyone who has cancer to get well soon and I pray that no one experience this ever, do your checkups and stay healthy ❤️

[@MabieIsland]

I am so so sorry to hear this. How are they all now? How are you?

[@HM-mi8co]

Mabie Island my dad and sister are doing better now thank God but my mom is at the beginning of her treatment journey

[@queengagaislander7707]

Tell your Mom it is a journey...and soon she will get better. She will get through it. Love and prayers for all of you.💕

[@zaidals7167]

I hope island grandma and mama swift get better. Sending all love to your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@queengagaislander7707]

Thank you...I'm doing very well now!💕🌴

[@MabieIsland]

So sweet Zaid thank you!

[@melaniegohrband]

I can’t 😭 This song makes me so emotional

[@MabieIsland]

I know. :( love u Mel!

[@KLR307]

I think the "I know delusion when I see it..." line is the start of Taylor referring to how she is coping with her mother's illness. Hence her "painting the kitchen neon" and doing all these sorts of things to improve the situation.

[@alicepahler7610]

I cry every time I hear this song. Taylor said they had a family meeting because she wasn't sure she should include this song in the album, and they decided it should be. She did say she wasn't sure if she could sing it in her tours. Taylor also wrote a song and made a video for her Mom called "The Best Day" that tells you all about their close relationship. I was sorry to hear about Gaga's cancer, but am so happy she is fine now. I think you have a beautiful family.

[@intensewhatever]

I cry every time I hear the song and I cried watching your reaction. This song is just such a gut punch. You can hear her desperation and helplessness. This was a beautiful reaction. Thank you so much ❤️ And Gaga, thank you for being so honest about your experiences. Sending you all so much love 💕

[@queengagaislander7707]

Sky , I'm thankful Taylor was able to share this song..I know it will mean a lot to many people going through all facets of cancer. Thanks for your kind comments. 😙🌴💕

[@SARAH-ue3xw]

I'm sure Taylor not going to sing this song ever. She made a very hard decision to put this song on an album which is personal and Truth. I suggest to everyone to go to doctors and have a regular cheak up. I used to ignore but now I change myself. Still, I don't like it especially tests its freak me out.

[@MabieIsland]

Love u Sarah☆☆

[@JenniferJiang2013]

In secret sessions, this is the one she had to leave for.

[@fanchangmindbsk2060]

We always feel so bad when we have to meet doctors

[@hannamartinez8479]

Well she did, via live stream 😭😓

[@jhariette]

Taylor is a good story teller and she puts it beautifully in her songs!!!!love Taylor much!!!!

[@louisawaldorf904]

I hoped you'd do this song because it's such a lovely sad song but I didn't expect that it would be this personal for you ;( Your video made me cry but I'm so glad Gaga is alright now!! My mother hasn't had cancer but another serious health issue, so I know how it goes, pretending you're sure that everything will be fine in order to help her while you're really super scared yourself and just don't know.

[@MabieIsland]

Oh God Bless you sweetie. Thank you for your kind words Louisa. Gaga is a fighter!

[@marietrowbridge7022]

every time i hear it on my cd i choke up bad. i think of taylor's pain. and knots in the belly. to watch the person who your so close to suffer. i think of her mom. who i hope is getting better. then the floodgates open. when i think of my mom. and how it hurt so bad to watch her pass. when i had so much hope. and hurt inside. bless taylor for getting through singing about her momma. i like the song very much.

[@queengagaislander7707]

Marie..I know you know! Bless you!😙💕🌴

[@MabieIsland]

Marie. We would love to hug you! Heres a virtual hug! We love u!

[@Kaelytraec]

I had never considered “getting it” to be understanding it, but as the goal of brightening the world so much that the cancer stops casting the shadow over their lives. “Getting” It in the metaphorical sense makes a lot of sense.

[@sophh1585]

This chat was so moving and thoughtful. I'm glad you're in remission Gaga and thank you for sharing what you went through with us. X

[@JessicaNicoleFaust]

This song, I almost have no words. So emotional. Thank you for including this on your channel. It’s a very personal & important song to Taylor, her mother and to all of us💗💛

[@MabieIsland]

Oh Jessica this sweet comment made me cry. Gaga Islander is my very best friend and my Mom too. I felt so so much like Taylor worded in this song when I heard it. I still can not get through it without crying.

[@queengagaislander7707]

Thank you Jessica..if it helps 1 person go get a checkup..then its worth it.🙂💕🌴

[@MPNJMD]

Wow! That's a whole lot of faith right there... To make it thru the reaction of such a teary song! Glad that Gaga is in remission. Praise the Lord!

[@madhavpulivendala6266]

HOW CAN PEOPLE EVEN DISLIKE MABIE ISLAND'S VIDEOS!!!! LIKE SERIOUSLY....

[@MabieIsland]

Madhav!! I know right? Your comment made my day! Are you subscribed? We hope so!

[@BecxCosyCorner]

I lost a parent over 2 years ago, he had liver and asophogus cancer and in this song the verse that sticks out to me the most is the bridge "i hate to make this all about me.. but who am I supposed to talk to, what am i supposed to do, if theres no you. This wont go back to nornal, if it ever was. It's been years of hoping and I keep saying it because, cause I have to." That's exactly how I felt during my uncle/parent figures' treatment, he raised me for 15 years of my life alongside my mothers brother as a couple and we were a fanily and sadly with my immediate family I felt and still do to this day feel like I can't talk to them about it because I fear that I will be judged and looked at as if im making it about me and only me, that's not the case but there are times i do say to my close friends i hate to make this situation all about me for a second because it's not just the person going through the treatment it's the family thats effected by it too. Someone asked me whats it was like to have a loved one go through cancer (my dads dad is going through treatment currently as well) and i simply said a rollercoaster, you get the all clear your so happy and then your suddenly told they only have 3 days to live and then your trying to emotionally and mentaly prepare yourself for grief as for me at that time I had never lost someone close to me before but then he was fine and 3 months after that he passed and the saddest but kind of beautiful part is that he passed the day after his and my uncles 15th anniversary together. So it's definitely a rollercoaster. So I seeked comfort in my close knit friends and my furbabies who i actually picked my first furbaby up the same day he had passed and it wasn't planned so it was meant to be ❤ I miss him every day and also since he passed I feel his and my great grandmas energy and spirit all the time and it gives me comfort now ❤ Loved your reaction and i appreciate your stories ❤❤ sending only love out to everyone ❤

[@queengagaislander7707]

I dont think you made it all about you..of course you are affected when you watch those you love suffer and pass away. I felt guilty putting my family through my illness, because I knew they were affected. Try to remember those loved ones every day with the good times you had, and with gratitude for how much they meant to you. Thank you for sharing. 😚🌴💕

[@MabieIsland]

Hi sweetheart God Bless your story and your time and your heart. I am so thankful to read your story. What are your pets names? 💜❤🌴🌴Meredith

[@BecxCosyCorner]

Oh my gosh i didnt think either of you would reply! That means a lot so thank you for both of your kind words! 😍 My kittys names are Nala and Shafira ❤ Nala was the one i picked up the day my uncle had passed ❤ the first thing she did was lick my face and i knew then she would help me with my grief, animals are truly amazing. im in a place now where i feel confident to share my story with others as i know a lot of people go through the same emotions and the more you talk about it the more you start to heal ❤ so thank you again for being so open as i know it can be hard to do that too! By the way i live in australia and iv loved watching your reactions to taylors music! 😍❤

[@meganlynn83]

I am 35 years old & was diagnosed with Melanoma in October of 2022. Thankfully, mine was the Superficial Spreading Type of Melanoma. (In situ. Stage zero!) I got really, REALLY lucky. My 13yo son and I listened to this together and my sweet boy just hugged me and we both cried. I was very optimistic, even after my diagnosis. I have a wonderful team of Doctor's & Specialists that are ensuring I am able to be in my sons life as long as humanly possible. (Considering the age I was diagnosed with Melanoma and my extremely fair tone skin; the likelihood that it will reoccur is higher than with others/most others.) I was diagnosed in October and thankfully, Cancer free by the end of December! Please, everyone, go get your skin checked. It only takes a few minutes and I promise that you will be grateful that you have peace of mind, when your checkup goes well! I just had my 6 month checkup and my skin looked great! I'll see them again in 6 months, for forever! #MelanomaAwareness 🖤🎗🖤

[@thatkeren]

Oh I loved hearing your opinion and I have a greater appreciation of this song

[@betinarestum]

Loved the reaction... this song is very emotional and difficult to hear for me also. Wishing all the best to you guys! ♥️

Hi Lexy and thank you. Please subscribe and share.

[@SarahWhitlockBlack]

My mom was diagnosed with cancer in July. This song wrecks me.

[@queengagaislander7707]

Sarah..I just saw your comment. You will get through this with your Mom. It is a new reality that changes your life but be strong and lean on the Lord for strength. We are praying for you both.💕

[@SarahWhitlockBlack]

Thank you so much for your prayers it means so much that you would respond do kindly. My mom entered hospice care last week. Her being there is an answered prayer-she is in the best place for her. They're taking excellent care of her. I'm not ready to say goodbye or let her go yet.. im taking it day by day.

[@Dave-ci2pe]

SarahWhitlockBlack any updates?

[@lizziedoglover6657]

I love watching your vids and I never knew what she meant by holy orange bottles till now . Thanks for the vid I’m giving u a shoutout on my Taylor fan account much love and obviously to Andrea 💕

[@amazingjhane]

You both made me cry too😭💖

[@Saarz23]

So lovely to have you two girls react to this song. Your bond is so strong 💓 I lost my beautiful mum when I was 15 to breast cancer. She was 46. Cancer impacts so many people out there. I hope Andrea is doing ok 🙏🏼

[@guyluvsbeauty]

Such a heartbreaking song! I’m happy Grandma Gaga is doing very well. I’ve been watching Olivia Newton John’s progress, by watching her recent interviews, since her cancer has returned. I just love her and wish her the very best. ❤️

[@kylier8599]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE INTRO!

[@MabieIsland]

Thanks Ky love you!

[@alejosantacruz7]

Ok guys it’s time to redemption because I was very hard with you when you make the “You Need To Calm To Down” reaction, well that’s my second favorite song of the album, but my favorite one is “Soon You’ll Get Better” and I was waiting a lot for this reaction... guys I absolutely loved it and I have to say that you’re very kind and strong people... we have pass to similar stories, just like Taylor... thank u for this reaction really thank you so much, I know it has to be very hard and you’re so bold to actually do this after you have been through... I promise I will keep very close to your channel guys thank you again 💕

[@MabieIsland]

I hope you stay close Alejandro we love you!

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

I had ovarian, 5 years out. No left. 😢 but no cancer right now. Love you Gaga now we know why 💗

[@amazingjhane]

This song always makes me cry😭❤

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

I’m a freak out and a cancer survivor so hey we come in all ways. Me too I kept saying I’m too young?! Luckily I had women to help me. I’m Jewish but I appreciate you. 💗 yes and like Gaga said many of us get better! So have hope

[@lizziedoglover6657]

Aww Gaga they cut the camera love u ❤️

[@leticiagonzales1622]

This is one of my favorite songs on the album. I have lyme, lupus,fibromyalgia and other diseases and I am also a single mother so this song really gets me. My mom also has MS so it's like a double whammy for me. My daughter is always saying you will feel better soon mommy or things like that so it was like I could hear my daughter singing this

[@queengagaislander7707]

Leticia...God bless you and your Mom, I will pray for you. If you have fibromyalgia eliminate MSG( Monosodium glutamate) and Aspartame (Equal artificial sweetener) from your diet. Check all food labels...I did and all the pain left with in 2 weeks. I had fibromyalgia for 13 years.

[@jiminschimchim760]

Omg 8:20 IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

Cause her mom is her rock

[@lizziedoglover6657]

Omg u got tearful and paused the vid I love u Gaga 💕

[@lizziedoglover6657]

Queen Gaga Islander your welcome 💕

[@chrissylyons1329]

I can relate to this Soo much!! I felt this way when my mom was diagnosed with cancer! My mom was my best friend. And I tragically lost her last year to cancer! 😥

[@queengagaislander7707]

Chrissy..I'm sorry for your loss.😚🌴💕

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

I think she means there a day I won’t try to cheer her up, paint things neon etc

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

Yeah I can’t even with this song 💯 real 💙

[@HeatherBenedix]

Alot of songs have more than one meaning. Probably even has to do with my visit to ER also and I do know that God has a destiny for me that I didn't even get to get to start the best part of yet, so none of my soul tribe are leaving for heaven anytime soon. I do need to schedule a physical so thank you for reminding me ladies.

[@purplezen4261]

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

Gaga is correct, she felt run down and it’s important to get a blood test at least once a year. Good explanation, I took the orange for granted but we get green now too, she’s saying the stages of brief accept she hasn’t hit acceptance

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

Omg, Holy orange bottles threw me and I’m a nurse!!! I think it’s because we call that color amber in the medical field. I had to look it up to get the reference and then I felt real dumb! Now I’m just amused at myself. Love this song.

[@queengagaislander7707]

Lol Krista..I had to use too many of those "orange " bottles to not get it! Thanks for your comments!😀🌴💕

[@jiminschimchim760]

Thank you Jimins for your support 😘...you painted a picture with your comments. This was a tough subject to address but hopefully it will help others...I'm doing great now.😁🌴💕

[@wiam5117]

This song is hard to listen to I always skip it because it makes me cry like crazy

[@bobinkurian3357]

Well I don't know the origins of this song, but I relate to this song in my own way. My personal life has taken a toll on my conscious self for more than 10 years now, having undergone medication for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and memory loss all together. The song gives me hope that I'll get better soon. Love this song.

[@queengagaislander7707]

Bobin... keep telling yourself that .. speaking to your illness with this positive affirmation will help..also the Lord loves you and is with you always..lean on Him.😘💕

[@jessicawhittemoore7829]

Taylor Swift announced that her mom has a brain tumor now too

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

Yup, Gaga gets it, they tell you, then it’s about trying to stay alive.

[@relent-lass7510]

This song hurts to hear Imagine how she felt writing it

[@mcnoneya]

It’s funny I totally understand the part of comforting family members even when YOU are the one in the hospital. It’s weird

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

It’s traumatic and you can’t talk about it, and this is about her mom, listen to hoax next. You’ll 😭 more! Life is sad sometimes. Right now. It’s a breathe. Also Gaga any advice for when we get horrible news? 💙🌈🌴

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

She’ll never FIX it (get it)

[@kambrose3339]

Bless you Maybe Island ✌ Cancer is a horrible thing Taylor is a huge supporter of the fight. In the Powerful Name of Jesus Our Lord and Saviour I Pray Healing on to you, In the Wonderful name of Jesus I Decree and Declare this Prayer is Answered Amen ⛪✌

[@marahr774]

When should you start getting check ups?

[@queengagaislander7707]

Every woman should do breast self examination. If any lump or abnormality is found have a doctor check it out. If there is a family history of cancer, mammography should start around thirty..if not your doctor would probably advise by age 40.😍💕🌴

[@edensylvester13]

[@MabieIsland]

Love you Eden!

[@kayleighwilson1551]

I think ‘ cause you have to ‘ breaks my heart the most because it’s your mom and you don’t expect her to not get better. It’s that childlike belief that she’d going to get better because she HAS to and, like you said, she’s indestructible.

[@gloriaratcliffeszawlowski4797]

Congratulations on your remission, I prey that you stay that way. She’s so right, you almost black out. Yup
