*REACTION* Taylor Swift - peace / hoax (The Long Pond Studio Sessions)

[@sarinasoren7818]

They finished Peace like “glad that one’s over, I almost cried” and I saw the next song was hoax and then I really felt bad for them 😂

[@UniqornGleek29]

peace is about taylor not being able to shield joe from the ravages of her fame seeing that he’s such a private person.

[@HiSummerWasHere]

At the time we all heard Peace for the first time and it was clearly about how Joe made Taylor feel inadequate and like she was absorbing his entire life and she would never be good enough for him, how did we not know that an end was inevitable? Jake knew immediately: “if you’re giving your all for someone and it isn’t enough, it’ll never be enough.” And now we’re about to get The Tortured Poet’s Department, presumably an entire album of “I gave you everything and you made me feel small.” “I love you, it’s ruining my life.”

[@emmavink]

This is absolute rubbish. Their relationship was still very strong at this point. It only apparently started getting into struggles later in 2021. I frikking cannot deal with people badmouthing Joe. Their relationship came to an end. She wanted it to go further and sadly he didn't at that point. Unless it comes out that he cheated on her, the hate silly fans are spewing at a man who made her extremely happy for over 5 years is just unacceptable. In all her lyrics she's written about her and Joe, she's praised how he didn't listen to the media hype and how he helped her ground herself. I am about 100% sure her life and career wouldn't have gone so well after the Scott/Scooter shit if it weren't for their relationship. In Peace, she is talking about her own insecurities. Not his doubt or dismissing her. The same sentiments come across song after song about Joe. From Call It What You Want to The Great War. Don't diminish a relationship that she treasured. It's not ok.

[@LK-lz6lk]

​@@emmavink & I frikking am so over hearing people talk about her & her relationships like they know her & her life so well to even say how she feels/felt or what she thinks/thot. You can know every lyric to every song she's ever wrote...still doesn't mean you know 💩 about her & her life. Making stmts that are actually pure speculation & assumptions & claiming them to be 100% accurate - is not ok.

[@emmavink]

@@LK-lz6lk I'm frikking so over people basing ANYTHING they say about her on tabloids and not on her lyrics. She tells her fans over and over and over that if it isn't at least somewhere in her lyrics, I means it didn't happen. I'm so over people listening to one song in isolation and using it to throw vitriol and hate at another human being who has no power to defend themselves. Especially when MULTIPLE songs over 5 albums give everyone all the information they need to get a far more accurate idea of what went down and why than ONE song does. I'm so over people ignoring what Taylor herself says in her prologues/epilogues about how true/fictional each song is to her own life. There are a lot of things I'm over. Fake rage based on completely inaccurate supporting evidence is probably very high up there.

[@emmavink]

@@LK-lz6lk just wanted to add, because I realise my response could be ambiguous. If you are agreeing with me, then I expanded on what you very accurately pointed out. If not...then there is my reply.

[@brandyanderson3522]

" my tears ricochet" IS a breakup song. It's just, for Taylor, not the breakup of a romantic relationship

[@SarahJoCorona]

Taylor has said that she appreciates that people interpret her songs in a way that resonates for them. Her songs DO have explicit meaning and stories behind them- but like all art, should be enjoyed the way it resonates with the person absorbing the art. Honestly the woman loves a double meaning and would make a phenomenal english teacher

[@VioletEmerald]

She writes them in a way that's kinda carefully broad in the specifity. Like. For a song about fame she doesn't mention fame specifically. She leaves it open to interpretation

[@SarahJoCorona]

@@VioletEmerald yes! She's leaves everything open and makes things that most haven't experienced so viscerally relatable. She writes with intention which is something I seriously appreciate in her writing

[@whatwhatwhatttttt]

@@VioletEmeraldyup! and so many things could disrupt peace in a relationship: mental health issues, family affairs, career, financial problems, addiction, etc. it's so so well-written that any of it could be the reason

"That chorus is going to haunt me in my dreams"... I feel that. I woke up with Hoax stuck in my head the other day and listened to it on repeat for 3 hours. 😂

Yaas! I thought maybe they were taking about ATW. Her masterpiece IMO. (If I had to choose JUST ONE.) Or ... "Exile".

[@alyzzzzard5089]

“a happy one next time” even her happy ones are written so beautifully they still make you want to cry 😭 (daylight, invisible string, you are in love, etc). if you want to REALLY cry: never grow up (for the girl dads), champagne problems, clean, last kiss, all too well 10 min version

Nooo not one for the girl dads. I might actually cry -E

[@TAHBofficial]

Thank you!!

[@kanen8612]

100% agree :) I appreciate them doing things their own way and not bending to whatever the swifties pressure them to do. There are so many different ways to expose yourself to music and if everyone did it the same way, there would be no genuine discussion on what multiple meanings these songs could have. I love what you guys have to say everytime, Keep it up! :p

[@goofyme1659]

"Peace" you are right on, she can't give him peace because of her stardom and they will always have cameras in their face and stories about them that she can't control.

[@HiSummerWasHere]

Folklore came out just as I was quietly ending a torturous, drawn-out, slowly dying long-term relationship and the entire album really spoke to my thoughts and feelings. Exile was relatable in how the person you love feels like your home and with them you take your home wherever you go, but when it’s over you feel like you dont have a home anywhere; My Tears Ricochet felt poignant and perfect in describing how when it’s at the point of breaking down you can both love each other and hate each other too. Hoax is the saddest and my heartbreaking song I’ve ever heard about (for me) telling a person who makes you miserable that you love them so much you’ve chosen misery with them over happiness with anyone else every single time, and even when logic wins out and you know you can’t do it anymore, you still want to.

[@UniqornGleek29]

“Cruel Summer” is also one of her most popular happy songs!

[@ravenofthewild]

As someone born in the 50s and the era of Machismo it's beautiful to see men being emotional and especially crying. It's cleansing and healing, thanks for being vulnerable.

[@SarahJoCorona]

the bass player (who tickles the ivory) is Aaron Dessner (from the National) and the Pianast from the previous video was Jack Antonoff (of the Bleachers and Fun and also a producer on several of Taylor’s albums). Both were producers on this album! She also did a collaboration with Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) on Folklore.

[@valerytv_]

this is why we give breaks between doing taylor swift songs it's too much for us. we always put her songs on loop guys she gives us pain but always draws stars around our scars so dont worry its gonna be alright :)

[@mayadrachmann5138]

i see what you did there😉😅

[@UniqornGleek29]

if you want a happy taylor swift songs you should react to “New Romantics” “I Think He Knows” “Lover” “All of the Girls You Loved Before” “King of My Heart” “Fearless” “Sparks Fly” just to name a few.

[@loud_hailer6240]

Yes to all of these!

[@matilda8675]

omg new romantics is genuinely one of my favourite songs ever

[@dianafaustina]

She explains the songs right before performing them on Long Pond. I suggest finding versions on KZbin where the explanation is included, it makes it even better. If you want to continue with the Long Pond, I suggest This is me trying (you must react to her explanation in this one). Edit: whoops, I recommended that one before seeing you want a happier one 😂

[@HannahNotMontana8]

I think y'all are doing great even without watching her explain before the songs because Taylor is big on people taking her songs and getting from them whatever it is that they personally take from it! ❤️ If you want a happier or at least more upbeat sounding song specifically from the Long pond sessions I recommend checking out these: The 1, cardigan, august, invisible string, Betty Also, when listening to cardigan, august and Betty go into them knowing they are all connected. So think of it like a movie split into 3 parts from 3 different perspectives ☺️ oh also: the last great American dynasty I will add a little info about this one though - it's about a real woman that inspired Taylor and you find out through the song what Taylor's connection is to this person. Happy listening 🫶

[@musicfangirl7403]

Yes I was going to suggest the Last Great American Dynasty if you want to continue on with Long Pond. Or Invisible String. She’s broken up with that guy now but it’s a lovely song.

[@snazzyness1016]

hi!! know i'm a bit late to comment on this (3 months late to be exact lmbo) but please don't listen to any of the comments getting on your guys' case for reading her songs "wrong;" while she does write autobiographically and a lot of her songs can be about very specific experiences she's dealt with, there's never a wrong way to read into her writing or songs. writing is subjective and music is equally subjective--your own experiences and what you get out of your listening to her are your own!!! all that being said i always love watching people get into her music without much prior knowledge about her, it's always such a blast and you guys are very fun to watch, i love how you analyze her lyricism!!! :DDDD and by the way, my tears ricochet *is* technically a breakup song! while it's not about a breakup so to speak, it is written like a breakup song and hits a lot of the same beats (plus what it's really about can be considered a kind of breakup in its own right AND what people think it's about can't be 100% confirmed anyhow), i think your guys' take on it is completely valid!!

[@Kelly81687]

These reactions to her just keep getting better. I love how you guys see just how amazing she is as an artist and lyricist. You guys are amazing. Love Jake’s raw and real reactions.

[@IvyCowboy]

For a happier vibe, can I suggest Daylight (Lover in Paris concert), Ready For It, I Did Something Bad & Don't Blame Me from the Reputation Tour. The Reputation songs have more of a badass FU vibe and Daylight is a song about finding love.

[@r.maciel2544]

Who is the emotional brother? I get you, man. Real men are not afraid to be emotional.

[@TAHBofficial]

😂 the emotional brother is Jake

[@WarrenPDavis]

I just discovererd your channel and am truly impressed at your reactions. I am a 78 YO Swifty,. I really enjoy seeing people's first reactions to Taylor Swift. She is a generational talent and as you dig deeper into her music you will become even more convinced she is the best songwriter/storyteller in the business. Keep watching.

[@JenniferDomitrovits-xu9df]

I agree- art is there for interpretation. If you’re interested in the artist’s intention, that’s great. But most great artists like for people to interpret their work in whatever way it speaks to them.

[@adamwassim9666]

hoax is her most underrated song ❤

[@TjC_3124]

You are so right! As a newer Swiftie, I like to formulate my own interpretation. I think one of the best parts of Taylor's lyrics is they are adaptable to experiences we have or are going through. Thank you for pointing out that the commentaries are only on the Disney + version. I kept looking on YT for them 😅 Long pond sessions are my favorite along with any stripped down live performance.

[@akiki03]

It’s ludicrous to yell at you when Taylor herself says MTR reminds her of a divorce.

[@itsbrightness]

Jake is so sweet 🤍 what a lover Speaking of you guys would love lover

[@imnicheroo]

I am so happy you guys like hoax. It is so underrated and one of my favourites on folklore. For happy songs I would say last great American dynasty is a fun one that’s very story driven. Lover, Paper Rings, The Best Day (she wrote for her mom for Mother’s Day), Change. Long Live (I cry happy tears every time) but it’s such a positive song that’s become the Swiftie anthem, a song about her, her band, and the fans.

[@TrinaHartshorne]

Thought I knew EVERY TS song. Didn't know "Hoax". And these guys truly letting themselves FEEL her lyrics/mood: So Good! Do "Ready For It" and "Don't Blame Me" live from Reputation tour. It will bring you back to (happy 😂) life! That's the thing about TS. Lol. Like life, she slays you, & then ... shocks you back to joy with a different vibe! That's her superpower!

[@loud_hailer6240]

You want happier songs?? Medium: Willow New Years Day Your On Your Own Kid Mastermind Ultra fun Pop: Paper Rings The LOVER music video New Releases: Now That We Dont Talk Is It Over Now? Bonus: Her cover of Phill Collins "Cant Stop Loving You" at the BBC radio 1 live show. Thank you for your reactions!!

[@miftahfahr]

I second this

[@whatwhatwhatttttt]

"all these people think love's for show, but i would die for you in secret" is her most powerful line about love

[@Cucumberstopickles]

The guy playing the guitar and piano is Aaron Dessner. He is one of my favorite musicians. He and his brother wrote the music for the movie Cyrano which was amazing! I read that Aaron also owns the Long Pond Studio. He and Taylor spoke about Peace before the song and he relates to it because of his mental health issues and he said “he is a difficult person to be in a relationship with”. I see Taylor must struggle in relationships because she is so famous and can’t offer that peace. Aaron is also in the band The National and they worked with TS on the song Coney Island, a favorite of mine from TS Evermore album. ❤

[@UniqornGleek29]

i really hope we get an All Too Well (10 Minute Version) Lyric video reaction one of these days. Loved the reaction as always! sorry if some swifties might’ve put you off, but i’m here to support taylor and this channel. love your reactions!

[@baileyaudreyofficial]

I 100% agree that you should be able to listen, enjoy, interpret, feel the music in your own way. Your interpretations thus far have been fair. I think Swifties just like to note Taylor’s truth behind the song for informational purposes. Her story of her previous label basically stealing her masters (her stolen lullabies) is not unique to just her, and it was (and still is) a huge deal. Either way, welcome to the world of TS. She has a huge following for a reason. Enjoy your time, it’s wonderful here 🥰

[@SouthernArtist77]

I just love Jake, bless his heart. ❤️

[@Tal_reputation]

peace is my favorite song from folklore. my tears ricochet and this is me trying as well. if you want something upbeat and fun react to Don't Blame Me from the reputation tour. that specific performance is so fun and good!

[@katherinehayes5281]

Your reaction is excellent. My husband, who likes Taylor's music, once asked me to please put together a positive TS song list. I came up with a playlist, but there are probably others who've been fans longer who can help. The ones that immediately come to mind are Paris, Invisible String (if you don't think too hard about the fact that they ultimately broke up Lavender Haze), London Boy, and 22. Thank you so much for doing these reactions!

[@jennt.684]

Really enjoying your reactions to TS guys. Keep them coming, I'm thoroughly invested now.

[@timbates6309]

Give your tear ducts a break and switch from "sad" Taylor to "mad" Taylor. "Mad Woman" from the Long Pond Studio Sessions shows Taylor at her bitter best.

[@coopers_clickz]

Please do last great american dynasty from long pond, exile and 'the lakes' really is one for breaking down the english language tbh her wording is beautiful especially the line 'ive come too far to watch some name dropping sleaze tell me what are my words worth' shes on about a place she visited here in the uk called the lake district which as the name suggests weve got alot of big lakes within fairly close range of each other surrounded by moutains and peaks which a lot of english poets moved to the area to write their works, one being william wordsworth which is what her line is about whilst having a double meaning, she visited his gravestone and was inspired by his work and the surrounding area she was in :)

[@itsame9780]

Whenever she says "My Kingdom Come Undone " just absolutely brilliant i had never heard it said like that and it made so much sense.

I adore Jake. So much. Folklore is his album. Love all these reacts.

[@MoyaoftheMist]

I love these songs. The whole studio session is sooo good. The only really happy one on that album is “the last great american dynasty” I think? But that one is a serious treat, definitely one of my favs by her. If you want to break down in sobbing tears, try “Ronan” or “Soon You’ll Get Better” or (possibly depending on your personal experiences) “Bigger Than The Whole Sky”. I listen to those when I need to have a cathartic cry. “Forever Winter”, “Never Grow Up”, “The Best Day”, and “Fifteen” also make me cry, but I think that’s just me. Happy ones from other albums: “Our Song”, “Mine”, “Sparks Fly”, “Don’t Blame Me”, “Cruel Summer”, “Lover”, “Paper Rings”, “ME!” (Unpopular, but *I* love it), “Karma”, “Paris”… there are others, too, but I like those best, haha. Her live performances are always in another league, though.

[@natural91LC]

[@emmawakefield7959]

Taylor albums tell a story supporting an overall theme so this song makes a bit more sense if you knew the songs leading up to it as the finale. This channel made me want to download KZbin and subscribe for the first time in my life because I love it so much! 😂😂

Essentially, she gets hounded by the media and she’s never not going to be in a press bubble. Her life is always gonna be in a chase. And I guess there have been guys she stated that couldn’t handle that.

Regarding the comments from the beginning about My Tears Ricochet - leaving a label you’ve been with for over a decade, and leaving before/after such a betrayal as Taylor suffered, that IS a breakup! Just not a romantic one, friendship and employment breakups can be even more heart wrenching than romantic break ups.

[@tomygirl18]

[@ItsBrittanyMichelle]

Your video came up on my recommended videos and I’m so glad I watched. I so appreciate you as men being vulnerable with your emotions and really thinking so deeply and critically about how the song make you feel and getting the most from the music. I really look forward to your reactions in the future! It’s a heavy song, but tolerate it is absolutely amazing and will crush you but hits so deep. Some more positive songs can be found on reputation, 1989, lover, and midnights!

[@argentinaangel]

I didn't see anyone tear you guys apart in last video 🤷‍♀️. I just everyone clarifying that Taylor already admitted she wrote My Tears Ricochet dedicated to Scott Borchetta, her old record label. Also, i LOVE having the same thumbnail look bc it's easier to spot your Taylor videos! ❤

[@kimberlyflowers3449]

Taylor said in the Long Ponds interview that going through that with Scott was like someone going through a divorce so she wanted to convey those feelings too so ya’ll were definitely on the right track. ❤

[@darsynia]

Just want to say, I think for Taylor, she expected people who wanted to watch Long Pond have probably already heard the album and want more, so don't worry about it! I do love Peace's explanation, one of my favorites, so I suggest you do look into it for yourselves! I will also say that they totally do not explain the background to My Tears Ricochet, so don't feel bad! They talk about the oblique impact of it, but not details.

[@alohasargent]

Ooooh, good suggestion

[@VioletEmerald]

Ooo yeah

[@JenniferDomitrovits-xu9df]

If you need a little break from high-intensity emotion of the folklore and evermore albums, there are a couple of things I could recommend: - Don’t Blame Me (live performance from the Reputation tour) - Getaway Car (also the live performance from the Rep tour) - The music video for Blank Space. (Important to note on this one that it’s Taylor’s satirization of the way the media portrayed her as some sort of unbalanced, “serial dater”. So the video is very tongue-in-cheek.) - The music video for Look What You Made Me Do. (Important to note on this one that it’s taking shots and Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and the media whose brutal backlash, along with the Kim and Kanye “phone call frame job”, heavily contributed to Taylor’s “cancellation” in 2016. There’s A LOT going on in that video, but if you know that, you’ll at least have a general idea of what’s going on. Also helpful to know that during the phone call frame job, Kim called Taylor a snake and encouraged people to bombard her Instagram with snake emojis. After the “cancellation”, Taylor disappeared for about a year. The video for LWYMMD was her way of announcing she was back, highly pissed off and wasn’t going to take anymore s#%* from anyone. It, along with the Rep tour, was an ICONIC comeback. This video is another that demonstrates Taylor’s sense of humor and that she’s also willing to take shots at herself. 😊

[@Pabsinmadtown]

I would say react to “I know places” from the 1989 tour and “I did something bad” from the reputation tour, showing a whole other side of Taylor. I promise you would cry but be shocked how good it is!

[@carolann500]

Taylor's worldwide stardom makes it very difficult for any man to handle a very un-peaceful life. Constant paparazzi, negative articles from the far right, people like Kanye and Kim trying to ruin her or Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun making 367 million on selling her Masters without her having any say in the matter. But mostly, I think Taylor just doesn't live a normal life with all the guards around her all the time. She has a hard time just going to a restaurant for dinner. Some men would say I can't live this way and you cannot give me peace. That is her fear. Hope Travis Kelce CAN handle it! She deserves a loving relationship. Love you guys, you all seem mature for your age and introspective. I'm here for it.

Paper Rings and Stay Stay Stay are probably the songs that make me smile most

[@VioletEmerald]

Paper Rings is amazing and I vidded it. I'm one of those who can't stand Stay Stay Stay though. She's glorifying being a toxic/abusive girlfriend as if it's a fantasy or at least a joke and to me it hits too close to home.

[@lori.sabrina]

@@VioletEmerald I can totally see that for Stay Stay Stay. As English isn't my first language, I sometimes listen to music more in the sense of melodies than lyrics and I think that's why I like this one.

Listen to Vigilante Shit. I love that song. It's sexy and she's pissed off. It's so good and it's a true story...again about her record label.

[@mehlev]

Great reaction, you're doing a wonderful job guys!! If you need a pick me up I recommend a performance from her Paris Live show, BBC Radio One Session or Grammy Museum session. Paris - Cornelia Street, Death by a Thousand Cuts BBC - Lover, Holy Ground, Phil Collins cover Grammy Museum - Wildest Dreams, Blank Space If you want insane spectacle, do a song from her Reputation Tour like "Don't Blame Me", "I Did Something Bad" or "Ready For It"? Oh and edit: when you're ready for it, you will have to do Swift's heartbreak of all heartbreak songs 😋 called All Too Well. It's so good and such a fan favourite she rereleased a 10 minute version with a short film to go with it. Have fun!! ❤🎉

Something funny to me about the lyrics to Peace- Taylor says "there are robbers to the east, clowns to the West"- the W in West is capitalized, refering to Kanye West, the robbers to the east refers to Scooter Braun who bought her masters out from under her when she wanted to own them and had begged her former label head Scott Borchetta to sell them to her.

A lot of ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’ were written w Joe Alywn, her ex, who is an actor. Anyway, there is a reference to him in her new song (sad, fyi) ‘You’re Losing Me’. There is a line that goes “how long can we be such a sad song”. Basically all of them were! Their relationship died a sad, slow death. After 6 yrs, she wanted to get married and have kids. He said he never wanted to marry her.

I think peace is about her asking him ( Joe) if she will be enough. Even if they have to deal with the fame and her celebrity the rest of their lives.

You are due for a happy one! Cruel summer, invisible string, delicate, daylight are some suggestions I’ll contribute!

[@VioletEmerald]

Cruel summer isn't actually happy. It's upbeat and fun but the lyrics are... intense.

We really need an All Too Well 10 Minute Version reaction. Start with the lyric video so you can absorb it all without being distracted by the short film.

some happy/upbeat taylor songs: New Romantics Starlight Mean I think he knows ME! (contrary to popular opinion, I actually enjoy this song and it makes me cry really hard even though it’s extremely upbeat and happy😂) Hey Stephen Mine Enchanted Long live You are in love How you get the girl Gorgeous King of my heart Bejeweled Glitch Paris that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. Taylor has a lot of upbeat songs with sad ass lyrics, but I didn’t include them in this list😂😂loving your guys’ reactions !! 🩶🩶
