I really wonder how she will re-release it! Debut taylor live is a bit yeehaaaaw cringe for me to watch though I admit- but so iconic and I love it!

The amount of people that just throw around autistic is insane. It’s at the point now where if someone does anything quirky or unusual, it means they’re autistic. I was actually diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome when I was 8, and my life has been a constant struggle. I have extreme difficulty speaking in real life and I stutter sometimes. I have trouble socializing in general and it’s extremely isolating because I don’t want to be like this. Seeing people just out here calling everyone who is a little bit unique “autistic” just infuriates me.

I've been a huge country music fan since I was a child, and Taylor's country songs are important to hear how she became a respected songwriter/storyteller, whether you like or have personal opinions on the genre. Also, people who grew out of Taylor find comfort and carefreeness in these older songs. I've seen so many "what's your favorite TS song" IG reels where they shouted out a debut song. People resonate and love Debut, point blank and period.

[@marissaemily8452]

[@LuLu98J]

"Taylor loves to do numbers, to shifts physical records" thank you! Everytime I see someone theorizing about a drop of every TV that's left to be released or saying "this really shows that Taylor doesn't care about making money with the re-recordings, she just wants to own her music", I think BABE she's a capitalist and, even if she wasn't, she needs to sell the shit out of these re-recordings for a few reasons: 1. She's an artist in a capitalist world and her label is spending money with the re-recording, the physical copies production, the marketing of each TV, and they wouldn't do that if that didn't give profit. 2. Taylor wants her versions to overcome the older versions, and what does that mean? It means she has to break records, make everyone talk about what a feat she is accomplishing by being the first artist to have her re-recorded versions of albums be as successful as the original ones. And why does she need that? Let me tell you, not because she wants her fans to ONLY listen to Taylor's versions, cause each time you stream a song the artist only get cents from it. Taylor doesn't care if you keep listening to Better Than Revenge (og version) instead of the Taylor's version, that's not where the money and the control of how her music is used is. She's re-recording and trying to make the INDUSTRY understand that they should get the rights to her versions, because otherwise her fans would complain. Movies and TV series buying her versions is where the money comes from. Owning the masters is about deciding by herself who gets the right or not to use her music. THAT'S what the re-recordings is about. She's not going to drop more than one TV at once or drop them without announcing it first,because that would harm her sales and stream numbers, making this re-recordings era not as successful as she wants it to be. And she's not above the capitalist market rules, even if she wanted to be. Yes, the re-recordings era is about money, is about commercial sucess, is about giving her versions more social and market value than the original ones so she can profit and control the use of her songs by herself, as it should be in this case. It's not a moral thing, it's a this is the way the market she's in works and if she didn't know how use it in her carrer's favour, she wouldn't have had such a long career.

[@Violet316]

That is kind of a sad analysis, putting all that aside, of course, she wants her re-records to be successful, but more so as a screw-you to Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta, but above all, she gets to say this is my music and you can't take it away.

[@aijsdijdni3401]

I'm a part of a team of evaluators that help determine if a child in the school system has autism. The idea that Taylor is autistic is honestly laughable. But this is a part of a trend to be honest. So many parents come to us begging for us to tell them their kids are autistic... and they're not. Not even close. A lot of times they just have generalized anxiety. When we search for what could be causing that anxiety, we typically find out the parent has massive anxiety as well and they're projecting their anxiety onto their child. I feel like that is what I am seeing in these tiktoks. They're self-inserting/projecting themselves onto her.

[@echoes8057]

The “theories” are just saying everything and anything and then being able to say one was right out of 1000000

[@ongogablogian845]

Part Two please! Thank you for making light of the insanity that is Swifttok.

[@alta2lch]

I am not on TikTok, and this video reinforced why! Thanks for you content ☺️

[@bethanyclark4888]

See every once in a while I’ll see something in a post or something and I’ll be like “that’s cool, I wonder if it’s gonna mean something later” but I’m not about to stare at everything Taylor does and be like “she moved her foot in this direction while performing this song so this is gonna happen on this day” Taylor started the Easter eggs for fun not insanity.

[@juliapachecoguedes]

i spent the entire video split between laughing and crying

[@donardodavinci6126]

I'm two minutes in and I sincerely hope that it won't just be "gently poking fun"... the people on TikTok are CRAZY. Also thanks for doing this to yourself, serving as always!

[@kimmothy69]

Zach I've had a rough weekend where I had to work most of it and I desperately needed a laugh so thank you for your service!

[@stranger_inthealps]

Thank you for soldiering through tik tok for this video you may be our final sane swiftie 😭

[@mcp7055]

late to the party, but i am living for you REFUSING to finish seriously unhinged tik toks

[@laurenpeot]

Are you going to do a video breaking down the vault tracks of 1989 tv? I would love to see it!

[@catesinthecradle]

Thanks for making this. These things drive me crazy, just swifttok in general. The crazy speculations and weird things are out of hands.

[@ashleysbored6710]

I'm a "new" fan because I'm a teen and I've only been listening for a few years, but the first album I listened to was Fearless so I'd like to exclude myself from the TikTok weirdos

[@erinfrazier1439]

U truly cannot comprehend people deciding Taylor swift is autistic and then “finding evidence” to prove it….literally so rude and invasive to a point I can’t even comprehend. Whether she is or isn’t it’s NONE of our business genuinely wtf is wrong with people

[@annacolwell-w6h]

the armchair diagnosing is insane, even if she is autistic its nobody's business and it would be her decision weather or not to share that with the public

[@Toniwoodleigh]

I saw a shocker a few months ago where they edited a video to look like a trailer for a hollywood-esque movie about soulmates who experience miscarriage starring taylor swift and john mayer, with bigger than the whole sky as the soundtrack

[@Someonewhoruns]

do more of these i begg. i was laughing my ass off for all 30 mins! I never have more fun than watching you blank stare at a crazy person on the internet lol

[@rhinowings2610]

I think you would like Chats and Reacts channel. They put so much effort into their videos and they do videos listening to Taylor’s albums and talking about each of the songs and they’re comments are so insightful and make you appreciate the songs more afterwards. I just think they’re passion for Taylor would be enjoyable for other diehard swifties and it doesn’t matter how much you know about Taylor, it’s just interesting to see people’s ideas on her songs and such

[@tasneem2013]

See I personally don’t think he would like them

[@swiftie4everr]

The statue of liberty tiktok was a joke😭😭thats so hilarious💀💀

[@ashmarie1370]

My brain can't focus long enough to do the math that's in some of these videos. Like I guessed ordered for the rerecord releases but without doing all the crazy stuff and numbers these people do. I work to much for all of that🤦‍♀️

[@Dani-lc9hq]

Damn the autism girl... seriously incoherent projection! I can't imagine a autistic person living the intense life Taylor does.... My sister is autistic and needs to isolate a lot, she's sensitive to noise, smells, fabrics... And everyone I know who is also high functioning still wouldn't be able to handle the amount of people and stage life Taylor has, that's super demanding.

[@dramaminedream22]

That’s exactly what I was thinking about. She also does basically work a 9-5 job if not more, plus tons of travel.

[@ascendednightingale2456]

I’m diagnosed autistic, and I would absolutely crumble if I lived Taylor’s life. Also, saying that all neurodivergent people need to have a creative career is dismissive and harmful. I work a normal job and I’m content with it. I like the schedule and predictability. I actually wouldn’t do well in a creative job because I second guess myself too much and would rather follow than lead. This person has a very ableist view on what autism is.

[@Raelven]

The woman at 14:00 should never take any sort of psychology course, again, at any point, ever. Edit: Betty was a nickname for Rebecca but fell out of popularity in the 1970's when Becky replaced Betty, and, the footballer clip commentary is 👍

[@taylorpeterson2890]

I do like the 112 days theory, all though that person took it a little to far. That would get us all the re-records released during the tour, but keep them spaced out. And then she can announce TS11 at the end of the tour 😂🤡 I don’t really believe any theories anymore. I will believe it when it happens 😂

[@tammycombs167]

I said from the moment she announced the Eras tour that all the re records would be released be the end of the tour. The Swiftdom bashed me over that because each album had to have its own Era. Which would tie Taylor down forever. I still believe all re records will be out by end of Eras tour.Nothing to do with the 112 day theory. Lol

[@rachellees7580]

Zack, I can’t with you! You are my absolute favorite! 🤣😂😂 “people need to go outside”… 😂😂😂 I couldn’t agree more. “I’m scared”… “I’m not doing this”… this is literally me watching my reels… 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

[@lexbryann1585]

“Go outside, go to the gas station, go get a root canal” 😂

[@sirendipitybritt]

Congrats on 40 k plus, sir. And as always, very well deserved.

[@sulathenewfie4277]

Debut album - she does force the accent and her voice is not yet developed (but she really was still physically changing so it is what it is) but I love debut because as songs go, they are great songs, especially for her age. I was big country fan when she first came out so I remember when she was blowing up country w/Debut. Loved Tim McGraw… great song. So I paid attn starting then and thought hopefully she takes voice lessons as her voice matures and changes because she has a lot of talent and if she trains her voice properly she can get quickly get past the criticisms about her not being able to sing. She was a teenager and sounded like one. Same goes for One Direction… they sounded like kids in first 2 albums. But by time MITAM came around, their voices were great.

[@strvngerinthealps]

The tsitp/party in the usa/karma theory was the most unhinged of all the unhingedness I have ever seen. literally what was that. great video tho zack!

[@piafleig]

I need to defend the 112 day theory a little for the following reason: There were 112 days between Evermore and the original Fearless TV release date. 224 days (so 112 x 2) between Fearless TV and Red TV. And 336 (so 112 x 3) days between Red TV and Midnights. There are 112 days between the beginning of the Eras tour (17th of March) and the release of Speak Now TV (July 7th), and there are 112 days between that release and the 1989 release (October 27th). According to that theory Rep TV will be out February 16th and Debut June 7th (and 6+7 even equals 13, Taylor's lucky number). I don't believe most theories, but this one seems pretty legit to me 😊 Taylor has also mentioned the numbers 2 and 6 (February and June) quite a few times as of late, further supporting that theory.

[@thejoeyjason]

NO!

[@thejoeyjason]

the prediction is that rep tv and taylor swift tv will be released next year sweetie!

[@ankushkaushik833]

IDK WHY these people are sooooo obsessed with maths like...they're the people who will NEVER study math in school but WASTE their brains in making these paranormal level of mathematics ridiculous theories I loved when ur acting of that girl You were HILARIOUS

[@um7239]

I hate all the Easter egg theories I barely participate in them like when everyone was screaming about sntv after the bejeweled music video it really bugged me because yes the mv practically confirmed that it was next but it wasn’t going to come out that instance especially after midnights huge success

[@CarlieMS]

I got physically MAD when the video about Debut being bad showed. This people should NOT be in the fandom and should NOT have access to tickets, ohmygod!
