[@HarleighElyse]

You guys are the best 😆 Stop apologizing for being your awesome selves. It's harmless, hilarious banter. If people aren't into it, keep scrolling , stop trolling!

5:42 everyone jammin to the sax solo killed meee😂 always makin me laugh ps this sounds exactly like the studio version with the sax and instrumentals! In this performance tho the sax player added a little bit of spice

[@gaylenwoof]

There are several directions I would love to see Taylor explore in future albums. Like everyone, I would love to see a rock album. But pursuing this jazzy False God vibe would be great as well, and I'm sure both options would be extremely popular. Some of my ideas that might be a bit less popular would be expanding on the vibe we hear in "The Lakes" from the folklore album (I'm not sure what to call that...1940s? something?). I would also love to see her lean into some blue-grassy vibes - I love whenever there is banjo in her songs. I don't know what is Travis's favorite genre but, whatever it is, I suspect that it will have a major influence on her next album.

[@tvil8]

I'm really wanting a whole album in the style of dancing w our hands tied too!!!

[@caarline654]

😭 I was really hoping TPD would be jazzy (but it's still good 🥲)

[@lka9900]

The Lakes is so slept on. It’s so good!

[@emmavink]

Seriously though... I have a theory that Taylor will be done for at least a few years after Eras is done. The Manuscript had a lot of finality to it.

[@mwoods8988]

I'd love to hear a Taylor Swift rock opera album...Quadrophenia, Tommy, The Wall, Jesus Christ Superstar, etc. Reputation and Cardigan/August/Betty hint at it. The opportunity for storytelling from multiple perspectives and across songs would be superb.

[@laurabella13]

False God is one of her best songs and I love this performance of it 🩷

[@funland19]

It’s okay to joke about Taylor jamming, nothing wrong with that! Loved the video, thank y’all!

[@Apollo-wc7dp]

i'm lowkey obsessed with your taylor reactions 💖 always finding myself waiting for another one. thank you!

[@TAHBofficial]

Thank you for watching!!

[@777jamiejames]

One of my very favorite songs from her 7th album Lover. The main difference is the saxophone solo... there is saxophone in the album version but no solo lol.

[@VanessaBarbie101]

I just realized all 3 of you have a mustache lmao might be a record 😂 love the reaction, one of my favorite songs off Lover!

This reaction is all over the place 😅 -E

[@ashleyauker621]

@TAHBofficial In the best way, though!

[@tvil8]

I actually think this is a rare occasion where i prefer the studio version to the live.

[@Shan72393]

Same hereeee was gonna comment the same thing!

[@brittanyEllison08]

Love the reaction!! Someone has to send you guys the version when she sings it on The Eras Tour the vocals are way better. I saw someone else in the comments say that this performance is their enemy and it is so true. I swear she sounds so much better on The Eras Tour trust me.

[@BigBoy-cr8eq]

Dude I swear she must've had the worst flu during this performance because the vocals on the studio version are so fucking smooth

[@TAHBofficial]

I checked out the studio version immediately after we recorded this and I 100% agree! -J

[@emmavink]

I've noticed Taylor can struggle with pitch specifically at the SNL performances. People rave about the All Too Well SNL performance, but vocally, it's one of the most off pitch performances I've heard from her in years. Maybe it's nerves or that stage? And this is not a serious criticism of her abilities at all. It happens to every vocalist. I've just noticed it the most at different SNL performances from her.

[@melissadavis4981]

I always think the same thing when people recommend this specific performance... I'm like, but the track is so much better. I do love the live jazz player ofc but I feel like you can't get the full effect of this song without the production and her voice was definitely off that day.

[@DanielleFromMI]

@@emmavinkI’ve heard that SNL soundstage is kind of difficult for some reason and a lot of artists struggle to stay on pitch there. I think their sound setup is more for speaking than singing voices maybe? She probably has more control over scenarios when she is producing a live concert.

[@emmavink]

@@DanielleFromMI I fully agree. I've seen a bunch of my favourite artists struggle with pitch there over the years. I also know the music stage at The Graham Norton Show is notoriously difficult to perform at. I suspect that open stages like that need more reverb put on the voice because the sound likely just dissapates up into the open stage. Anyone who has sung in theatres not meant for music knows that shitty feeling of your voice just dissappearing into the ether 😂😭

@@melissadavis4981 because it was my fault. A lot of their videos for Taylor get blocked so sending them links that other reactors use that don't get blocked helps them out. Sorry that I made an error with my donation. I'll try and do better next time.

I’m so glad you guys finally reacted to this song, I just knew you guys would be into the Sax! Lol!! And anyway I’m a huge Taylor GIRLIE and I will defend her to the ends of the earth but you guys are FINE, you can say it’s different b/c it WAS different for her and if people get mad they’re too sensitive lol

LMFAO after all that roasting me y'all still had to copyright it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 DAMN y'all have no luck uploading videos. I don't understand. I know reactors have issues uploading the actual SNL version so I thought this one would work. I'm so sorry I take all the blame on the toaster video 😂😂😂 still a great reaction all usual. I loved seeing y'all swaying to the jazz. still my favorites to watch & STOP APOLOGIZING y'all are doing great & if people don't like it they don't have to watch.

[@catsbythefire]

You guys are friggin hilarious. So you don’t think all her songs sound the same, I don’t think so. I just started listening to Taylor, and I am a solid swiftie now. I have listened to all of her albums “Taylor’s version” on Spotify over and over, Taylor is a magician and a genius with her lyrics. She’s the whole package, down to earth and friendly. I even like football now too, pretty funny how things can change in an instant. ☮️ 🔜

[@plantdiva8472]

great song, I'm biased though, I don't think there's one song of Taylor's that I don't like, but this is one of those songs where you can feel what she's saying, and her writing, always, remarkable!! Thanks, love watching you guys!!

[@peanut4eva]

this video is hilarrrrrious 😭

😂😂😂 you guys are so high 😅... and I love Jake & Evan's synchronized facepalm at 9:34 😅

[@TAHBofficial]

To be fair, Alex is the only one high 😂

[@antuanbeard6090]

Love this.

[@christinarusso8303]

The studio track is still sax heavy and very similar - in my opinion when she sings/performs live, the band and instrumentals are always more prominent. There are definitely lyric videos out there too.

[@TiffanyTeaLeaves]

FINALLY!!!!

[@RoseETempest]

I call this song Elevator Music (Taylor's Version)

[@emmavink]

😂😂😂😂 Rude, but hilarious 😂😂😂😂 the studio version definitely doesn't feel as Kenny G as this performance does 😂

[@RoseETempest]

@emmavink I can't help it, man. I swear I heard this exact sound in an elevator years ago. When I played the whole album for my mom, she said the same thing. I like the song alot now (I think she does too, cause she says Lover is the best album. Don't know if she means it's her favorite or not...), but it took a couple listens for anything but that sax to stick even in the studio version.

[@emmavink]

@@RoseETempest I should have added, it's the only 💯 skip for me on Lover. I will often skip Me! and sometimes Paper Rings if I don't have energy... I listened to the studio album version again and I remembered that no, the live performance is better and I still don't like the song 😂 Content and melody is fine...the production and sax alongside the melody is totally elevator music...you and your mom are soooo right and I'll never be able to unhear it now 😂 The Sax solo in this performance was 🔥🔥🔥though.

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

Weird about the video, there is a 4K one available. Seems like this is a different video for some reason. False hod is a fave. Good rx.

[@crystalvibes2122]

The saxophone was definitely on the studio version.

so do you have to use the exact video that the person sent with the donation? cuz if you just look up false god snl, it's the first thing that pops up. it's on taylor's youtube channel.

Well we try not to use Taylor’s version of SNL because 100% of the time it’s blocked. I think the person who donated was hoping this version wouldn’t be….unfortunately it was also.

R&B TAYLOR SWIFT BON JOVI ??? 😅

[@tralala1865]

Sax slaps but I swear this performance is my enemy compared to the vocals for the eras tour surprise song and studio version. R&B Bon Jovi is WILD. Studio version is similar but vocals are much better. Sax is there just not the full solo.

[@emmavink]

But you didn't even slam her grooving? You just said it wasn't what you'd seen from her before and wouldn't automatically associate that vibe with her. I think that's fair enough. You didn't say it was bad. Taylor sounds best here when her back up singers are helping her keep pitch. I've noticed that her SNL performances do tend to be pitchy. I don't know if it's the stage set up or nerves, but her SNL All Too Well performance was super, super pitchy and not my favourite at all. The performance was fantastic, but the vocals really not the best compared to other live performances. Anyone that wants to throw a hissy fit at me, please stop. Every single vocalist in the world has performances where they are under or over pitched. It happens to everyone. Taylor is boss enough to move through it and she can usually adjust herself really well and she catches it very quickly. I love this performance either way because she just seems to be having the best time 😊

[@musicfangirl7403]

This is such a great song but not a great live performance from her vocally. I don’t know why people love it and keep asking for it 😂

[@jillianstamatelos9459]

Why didn’t you just KZbin the performance instead of using the grainy video lol

[@TAHBofficial]

Because it was a donation request with a video attached

[@jillianstamatelos9459]

all good I saw explanations on other comments! 🤍

[@erikahutchcraft1742]

I don’t care for this song, for some reason everything about it has always sounded “wrong” to me. Off pitch, off beat, off rhythm, her words are not lining up with the beat of the music. Like she has words and she has music and they don’t line up correctly. And it hits my ear just right where I want to jiggle it, like it’s out of tune. I want to like it because everyone talks about this performance but again it just sounds so wrong to me. I don’t know why because Taylor is one of my favorites.
