[@Mom3js]

The Eras Tour performance of this song is one of my favorites. ❤

[@breico8535]

The emotion in it is just so much different than the recorded version

[@Mom3js]

@breico8535 yes!

[@ElizabethEtherton-Hibpshman]

Seriously the Eras tour isn’t even the whole song, but the emotion is AMAZING

[@marlanadiana]

I’m so sorry that some people came at yall aggressively your last tay sway reaction, absolutely uncalled for. Definitely not that serious. I enjoy your reactions immensely, and at the end of the day it is a video of YOUR reactions to the song. Yall have my support always 🤗

[@tvil8]

Swifties are crazy, and i say that affectionately as one😂 some identify with taylor so when they come at you aggressively they are defending themselves and their experiences because when people don't interpret the art the same way, they feel invalidated. Just say, oh this one's having a bad day and move on. I love that you guys are still taking these requests❤❤❤ty!

[@itsonlysound]

I guarantee you that none of them are defending their own experiences. It’s about toeing the cult-like line😂

[@hazmania]

@@itsonlysoundand you know that how?

[@Ria_N9]

@@itsonlysoundyeah because when someone relates to Ronan Marjorie or soon you’ll get better they just “cult like”

[@Eiko286]

Ignore the swifties who say a song has to be about one particular thing. Thanks for discussing the lyrics, even though I get you're more into the music sometimes.

[@wazeemahamed3182]

Her eras tour performance was lit. It was a small part where she repeated again and again it captured her strong emotions

[@JRay.R]

Ugh so good. I was hoping they were gonna watch that one! But yes it’s so so good.

[@muhdayee9523]

yeahh its sooo emotional

[@denisesobisiak5227]

Honestly the coolest thing about reactions is how differently people interpret or absorb the songs and lyrics due their own perspectives and we all get to talk about how it make us feel. Don’t overthink too much, You guys do a great job ! 💛💙🖤

[@crystaldickson5405]

The bridge on this song is just perfection. Great reaction!

[@christycampbell2410]

For whatever it’s worth, it’s 6:02 a.m. and I’m already almost positive “You ever wonder how long a pond has to be before it becomes a lake?” is the most memorable thing I’ll hear someone say today. You’ve got a sharp mind kid.

[@jessiecampbell566]

I’ve been watching you guys for a few months now and I think yall are doing great! Swifties can be a bit intense sometimes. Most reactors don’t even TRY to analyze the song. They just smile and dance and do whatever to appease the fans. Which gets on my nerves. Yall are authentic and it shows.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Swiftness as a whole are great. There is a small contingency which have not outgrown knee jerk defensiveness, that still see the world as winners and losers like Taylor vs Someone else. Any attacks like these are not to be considered, as it’s always an issue they have - but aren’t self aware enough yet to know it’s their issue. I totally enjoy y’all reactions. You three are some of my favorites 🫶🏻

[@NinjaBooKitty]

I joined a Senior Swifties Facebook group, and sadly, it isn't any better. 😅

[@Knix2635]

Great song and reaction* Always, enjoy your honest, kind reactions, Thanks guys! Have a nice day 😎

[@katielafave4543]

the eras tour performance of this is amazing!!! all she sings is the bridge, but she sings it in multiple ways to show different emotions!!! it's incredible! one of my favorite parts of the whole concert!

[@kateisgreat85]

Great choice! Love you guys🫶🏻Would love to see you guys react to How did it end or The Prophecy🙏🏻 The best songs on TTPD imo.

[@erikandradedacruz58]

You guys HAVE to react to this music but in The Eras Tour. It's a complete different version and approach to it. Absolutely amazing. Deffinately a Must Do It!! We beg, bros

[@emmygeorgia166]

Real swifties don’t treat people poorly so anyone who’s being nasty is not a swiftie in my eyes 🫶🏻🫢

[@jhayga]

You guys do amazing, I love your reactions, they have always been genuine and that's why I like to see you, don't pay attention to the bad comments, there will always be, but there will also be good comments like these, I love them. take care

I got curious and looked it up: It may surprise you to know there is no technical difference between lakes and ponds, according to the National Park Service(Opens in a new window). However, a general rule of a thumb is if a body of water is large and deep it's a lake and if it's short and shallow it's a pond.

[@richellewatson1201]

I was just thinking y'all should react to this

[@han_han1409]

The Eras' version is superior, many Swifties (including me😅) wanted it on Spotify. It's an intentional performance where Taylor sings in anger and she's on her knees on the floor, it's incredible

[@lka9900]

I’ve seen a few fans also circle it back to the cardigan-august-betty, and illicit affairs is the fallout feelings (works from either gal’s pov) which is another fun connection/perspective!

[@NinjaBooKitty]

(Matty Healy. 😅)

[@natsc20]

As a swiftie AND an army I am beyond thrilled I have found your channel and can relive all of this magnificent music through you guys, thank you so much for your sincere reactions. That been said, now I beg you on my knees, to react to Taylor's King of my heart live performance from the Reputation tour as well as BTS' Not Today live performance from the Love yourself Speak yourself tour 🙏 please and thank you

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Always go for the Long Pond versions. Do not skip the very beginning where she talks about the song before it’s played

[@Turnermama]

Hang in there and keep reacting to Taylor's music. Love you guys ❤

[@karenmfrazer]

I have been watching y’all’s TAY Sway videos all day!!! I’m hooked. I’ve watched so many others but you guys crack me up and you are also listening and really paying attention. Thank you , just really enjoying watching these!

"The small lake" had me cackling 😂

[@Yephimł]

This live at the Eras tour is awesome!!❤❤ Love this one too!

[@stardustmelody2709]

I've never watched a reaction to this song and it’s one of my favorites from all the albums.

[@tiffanybrakefield4600]

My nerdy ass looked it up 😂 “A pond is generally shallower than a lake, allowing sunlight to reach the bottom of the entire body of water. This area is called the photic zone, where plants can grow using the sun's energy. In contrast, a lake has an aphotic zone, where some areas are deep enough that sunlight can't reach the bottom”

[@WitchyPie]

We did the same here. 😂

[@allaboutb9889]

You should do Now That We Don’t Talk & Is it Over Now? both from the 1989 vault!

[@purpl3loverz]

The eras tour performance of this is AMAZING

[@kimcollett4328]

Finally!!!!! Woot! Thank you! Love you guys !!!!

[@kaylamansfield5377]

You all should watch the “illicit affairs” + “my tears ricochet” live Eras tour segment!!!! Sooo powerful

[@AnnaleeD]

Thanks for covering. It’s one of my favorite songs. Just for the record you all have never annoyed me 😂

[@TAHBofficial]

😳😂

[@terryblair966]

Love this song ❤. Lyrics and music are beautiful. You guys are great.

[@deec89]

Small lake 😂😂😂😂 I've never pondered in the difference but now I will be doing just that for the rest of the day 💯🤣 As a "Swiftie"... the aggressive ones... we don't know them 💯😂 don't agree with that shit.. puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth and you 3 are hilarious and I wouldn't want anything but authentic so keep on ❤

[@selsoespinoza4857]

GUYSSSS!!!! YOU SHOULD REACT TO "RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME" BY TAYLOR SWIFT FROM EVERMORE ALBUM ITS ONE OF HER BEST SONG EVER🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I just joined your discord server and while I was scrolling through the channels I saw you just uploaded a new video, I've never been so early to a video before!! Love you guys and love all your reaction videos🫶🏻btw i hope someday you react to “How did it end?” By Taylor, that song is heartbreaking and “The smallest man who ever lived” too❤️❤️❤️

[@kateisgreat85]

Yessss! how did it end and the prophecy are my fav songs🥹🫶🏻

[@Zaisielle]

@@kateisgreat85 I love the prophecy too! Aswell as Cassandra, Peter, The bolter, I hate it here, I look in people’s windows, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, etc. You can tell I’m a big fan of The Anthology hahah but overall I love the whole album, it went straight to my number one spot as soon as I heard it🤭

[@selsoespinoza4857]

YOU GUYS SHOULD REACT TO "I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE " BY TAYLOR SWIFT FROM 1989 WORLD TOUR THE PERFORMANCE IS INSANE❤❤❤🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@nicolettevenne2238]

When you guys brought up wondering if it had another meaning it made me think of the first time I heard this and how the first part made me think of someone with a drug problem. Like you’re partying and having fun doing some drug perhaps in beautiful rooms and ends up in parking lots buying and lying to friends about what you’re doing

[@nicolettevenne2238]

Also “you showed me colors I can’t see with anyone else” and “for you I would ruin myself a million little times” I myself have struggled with drinking and it reminds me of the relationship with alcohol and how it starts fun and gets bad for certain people

[@sasusakalover1]

I really love your guys reaction to all of these songs and you guys make me laugh every time lol like others have said don’t listen to those people, her songs can have so many different meanings and doesn’t have to be about just one thing. I really think you guys should listen to The Alcott it’s by The National ft. Taylor Swift and also Renegade by Big Red Machine ft. Taylor Swift they’re both kind of different from Taylor’s normal but so good

[@aryanahire]

loved this reaction.. GUYS, if its possible, plssss react to the dress performance from reputation tour, its AMAZING!!

[@pauline6092]

great reaction !:)

THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR TAYLOR FANS. THE POST YOUTBE CHANNEL FROM NY TIMES IS ON AND TWO MUSIC CRITICS RATE TAYLORS ALBUMS. ALL BUT ONLY THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS. TWO HOURS OF GREAT DISCUSSION. BOTH ARE BIG FANS BUT DO GET HONEST AS CRTICIS OF SOME SONGS. WORTH YOUR TIME IF YOU WANT REAL DISCUSSION ON HER MUSIC. NOTHING WILL GET YOU MAD BUT THERE ARE TIMES IT WILL MAKE YOU REEVALUATE SOME .

[@cookiesandmilk686]

I hope you react to more long pond studio sessions songs

[@echoasuncion4456]

This channel should be called “Stache official”

[@creepypapermultipack]

Y’all should watch the Eras version of this song. It’s so powerful.

[@stardustmelody2709]

I am under the impression that The Long Pond refers to her being on the opposite side of the pond from the musicians. Like Bon Iver was in Europe but she was in US. Like “across the pond.”

[@destineyphillips8594]

Can you guys react to “the smallest man who ever lived” off Taylor’s newest album. The lyrics are so good!

I always watch y’all, but I never comment. I just want to say I enjoy you and I think you’re pretty terrible at figuring out the meanings of songs (😂), but I mean that in the best way. It makes me smile and a lot of times I think you’ve got some really interesting takes. Keep on keeping on, I look forward to the Taylor content weekly. ❤

Thanks…..I guess 😂🫶

This is a really good song. Very adult imo. It could very well send one to the CS if they have been in a situation like this. Always enjoy yall.

[@Lady_vesuvius]

I think she just had time to reflect on what it must be like to cheat. Glad you guys are still reacting even with the more ferverent blowback. Its always nice to see others as transfixed as I was when I first heard this song.

[@katediannetomboc9289]

PLEASE REACT ERAS TOUR - TAYLOR SWIFT -

[@christybarrett7215]

I just watched all your TS videos and subscribed. I’ve really liked your reactions to everything I watched and watched them all I’m confused about one thing though, you guys did all those great songs off the Lover album, but skipped the very best one on there False God, you gotta here False God Also saw you did Taylor’s vault track Haunted from Speak Now and wanted to suggest Castles Crumbling. It’s the best vault track on the album. The album version is good but there’s also a live performance of her and Hayley Williams, of Paramore, who’s featured on the song, singing it live at the Eras Tour in London about a month ago The vault tracks are songs that didn’t make the original album but when she re-recorded her album Taylor’s Version she added some of the vault tracks to each re-recorded album. Also you did so many great folklore songs but not Cardigan which is definitely top 3 on that album.

[@brichiever06]

you guys should listen to us. by gracie abrams ft. taylor swift!! i love these videos btw these tay sway reactions are my favorite! much love 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@katielafave4543]

as a swiftie it just really bothers me when people say all taylor writes about is breakups because that's not true at all! that's why with songs like this & my tears ricochet i like to point out that when taylor wrote these songs she was thinking about her old record label not a breakup! you can definitely interpret them as so, but from taylor's pov their not. of course taylor has breakup albums, but folklore is not one of them!

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

I think this really is about an affair- but doesn’t hurt to cover your bases!

Beautiful song. I think Taylor was cheated on and this song is how much she’s hurt by it. I really don’t know for sure, though. No one really knows what her real life is like so Alex is right, it can be about anything that you have going on in your life. Just a fabulous song with the perfect instrumentation behind her lyrics. Thank you!! ❤❤❤

[@musicfangirl7403]

When this first came out everyone seemed to think the narrator was having an affair with a married man. But from the start I always thought it was about her being married or in a relationship and having an outside affair. Now that we know more about Taylor’s personal world from her latest album, I’m even more convinced that the narrator is the one cheating on her partner.

[@chloecampbellwrites]

Sorry for the aggression you’ve been seeing! As a long-time Swiftie, it’s never that serious and everyone interprets music differently. It’s uncalled for. Loving your channel and your Tay Sway content!

[@MENSBOUGIEBIBLE_Patrick]

So it’s my understanding that this is a fictional song. However, it’s kinda been proven that some songs from folklore and evermore are either true to her life or partly true- and fans came to that conclusion from tracks from midnights and even the TPD. I don’t know if your reacted to Renegade by Taylor and the Big Red Machine- but when that song came out we thought it was fictional- but when Taylor released hits different and you’re losing me- fans put together that Renegade is most likely about her ex Joe. And after listening to it now with what I know now, I think that song is totally about him- but she obviously didn’t make it apparent cause they were still together at the time but we know now their relationship was strained when that song was released. She has so many songs that are connected across her albums you would have to make a venn diagram lol
