*REACTION* Taylor Swift - Tolerate It (The Eras Tour)

[@nicoleterceira]

the last line that got cut is 'i sit and watch you'. she repeats the very first line of the song to represent staying in the cycle of abuse and not actually being able to leave. she gives the other person all the reasons why she should leave and starts to say she's finally going to do it, finally going to work up the courage to run, but then goes back to just watching and staying with that person because she can't get out. it's almost like the song is an imaginary conversation with herself, building up the fantasy of leaving before realizing she can't. it's such a heartbreaking song.

[@Knix2635]

Was it Joe? I know they almost broke up, then she stayed with couple more years.. then heard that he broke up with her in a text msg.. then, sometime after, she met up with Matty?

[@David.124]

It’s not about abuse 😭 it’s about a one sided relationship. Only one person is putting in the effort and the other is just “tolerating” the relationship and effort.

[@addiegabriel9333]

The guy is one of her dancers. And, yes, he’s great! Such an understated performance, but very evoking emotionally.

[@mariangraham9074]

I think I heard that Taylor got him a recording contract or something, too

[@amydarling9715]

@@mariangraham9074 She did for OWEN who was a dancer on the rep tour but he isn't on this tour as a backup dancer. He did open up a few shows for her last year though. This isn't owen though.

You guys dropping 2 tay sway reactions in the same day was not on my April bingo card, y’all really workin overtime 😂 thank you for this we all appreciate it 🤍 ps green

[@katiepooh2137]

Right!!

[@melissadavis4981]

Wait wait wait... are you guys the reason Taylor keeps giving us "twos" 😂

[@MrsSlack1]

I saw a video of a woman saying this song makes her think of her relationship with her teenage daughter and how you’re so excited for them all the time and they just tolerate us being around and as a mom of a teenage daughter myself - that hit HARD - now I can’t listen to it without tearing up. Listening from that perspective is ROUGH

[@TiffanyTeaLeaves]

SAME! my son and my daughter both went through this phase, my son is still in it 💔 😭 RIP me. I can’t wait until he’s his sisters age and will hopefully come out of it like she has 🥺

[@MsKenijo]

Yes! My daughter is in middle school and her face when she talks to me…I know it’s a phase, I know she’s gonna be different in a few more years, but MAN. It’s hard!

[@crystalkadletc1944]

Oof I never thought of it this way and I have two teenage sons

[@melissadavis4981]

Omgggg stop that's going to be me one day... my daughter is 6

Oh my gosh this has ruined the song for me now. I thought it was devastating before but now as a mom of 3 boys this perspective is GUT WRENCHING 😭

The end line, She said, I sit and watch you.

[@Bloodmoonwitch13]

WHICH SHOWS SHE STAYS IN THE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RATHER THAN LEAVING IT AND THAT BLOWS MY MIND ❤

[@LK-lz6lk]

They both "tolerate it." Him: her love Her: his lack of it 😞

[@musicfangirl7403]

Or maybe she sits and watches him from another perspective now that she’s finally seeing his behavior and she’s just biding her time to get out.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

⁠I think at the end when she says I sit and watch you, it might mean she watched him realizing she’s strong enough to realize she has options and now it’s decision time.

[@kellypritchard6516]

Taylor is the queen of closing out her songs with the first line of the song to really hit the message home. She is a lyrical genius.

Green. 💚 You guys make great content. I feel so bad that you had this hiccup last week. Mistakes happen and you’re only human. So glad you did this reaction after the mishap last week. Thank you! Keep up the hard work. 🙂

[@emmavink]

Exactly. I did comment, but it was not to insult them. It was to say that I think they would really live the uncut eras tour version of the song and they should check it out for themselves cause they'd enjoy it. I wouldn't have gotten to see that fan splice of Tolerate It and Rebecca if not for their honest mistake and I really enjoyed the editing on that mashup. I got really annoyed with people just insulting the guys in that video. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

[@deseraenicole5445]

This is hands down in my opinion her best performance for the entire show.

[@Musiq_Lov3r]

For me this is tied with My Tears Riccochet. I don't just hear either of those songs I feel them. She definitely satisfied my theater geek side with both of them.

[@jessicapistacchio8845]

And now she removed it 😢 so bummed I won’t see this live.

[@sukioki6983]

My 23 yo daughter played this for me and i cried so hard. Its reminded me of when i was with her father. Every year got worse and worse. I got sick and not in position to leave yet i still made sure everything was perfect for him with never even a Thank you... Ya. This one hits HARD

[@lizbramwell5085]

Green! I am a silent subscriber mostly, but I just love your Tay Sway reaction videos. Y'all are just so empathetic and compassionate, and it is a breath of fresh air. Appreciate y'all so much!

[@TAHBofficial]

Thank you so much!! -J

[@alternator1272]

The lyric “ I wait by the door like I’m just a kid.” Makes me tear up all the time . Anyone else?!

[@_Ashesrising]

That's Raphael Thomas, one of Taylor's dancers on tour, and he's an absolute king.

[@_Ashesrising]

Also, green😂

[@TiffanyTeaLeaves]

10:12 🟢 YES! Exactly! The performance of this song really helps to drive home the difference between where the inspiration for the song and the reality of the lyrics lives. Hearing someone say something vulnerable isn’t as poignant as seeing them say it in the moment it’s making them feel vulnerable. When she says “if it’s all in my head tell me now” you can see that she’s inviting him to scare away all the ghosts in her head so she can relax and understand him better. But he doesn’t, because her intuition is correct, he’s checked out and he is tolerating the love she’s showing him to avoid telling her he’s not in love with her anymore. She knows that’s what he’s feeling, she’s bracing herself to hear the truth but is also saturated in hope that he will tell her it’s just in her head and he is still in love with her. It’s all captured in the one expression bracing herself for his response. And what happens after is a realistic reaction to gaslighting. This song is about mental health abuse, more than it’s about the book Rebecca, despite that being the inspiration. I believe what she took from the book, has been applied to her own reality, it’s not a direct story about Rebecca as with “the last great American dynasty”

[@pastramicheesemonster4873]

That's exactly how I see this song 😭 and she released it just after I had been broken up with from a 3½ year relationship (and previously bffs for a decade), where I'd felt like she was tolerating my love for about 2yrs. And when I brought it up she'd tell me that of course she still loved me. Until, when she eventually did break up with me she admitted that she didn't know when she'd fallen out of love... Trust your instincts I guess 😔 still fucking hurts now 💔 I really appreciate this song tho because it articulates the feeling so well

[@Bloodmoonwitch13]

5:18 PERFECT EXPLANATION YES SPOT ON WITH THE SMUDGE ON THE GLASS AND EVERYTHING

[@jcs1090]

Green with envy that you guys have each other for life and for giving us Taylor reaction videos. Former teacher here - I can tell you from experience that most people don’t listen or read before reacting (hence “former” teacher 🤣). Love you three. Old enough to be your mom and proud of your reactions and comments. 💚

[@malwal]

Green 🟩. She is very musical theater when she performs, that's what I think set's her live performances apart from the majority of other big artists. She has had theater elements in her tours since the beginning (I especially remember the fearless tour (2009) and the speak now tour (2011) as very musical theater) and the acting is just getting better!

[@Bea56601]

Tolerate It is lyrically one of her best songs. It’s beautiful but heart-wrenching

[@rahmeh_urabi]

Green. love how y’all are so understanding and really enjoy her music and songwriting from a masculine pov❤️

[@mwoods8988]

Taylor Swift is a detailed planner. Taylor would have listened to Raphael Thomas' character acting suggestions, but Taylor would insist on thoroughly rehearsing every movement and expression. They both did great with their characters.

[@Thornhill-Serbin]

Green. Thank you for doing it again!

[@Jay-zl6jm]

me silently screaming at you guys through the screen at the beginning of the act: she’s laying “the table with the fancy shit” and polishing “plates until they gleam and glisten” 😩

[@crystalvibes2122]

Green! Thank you guys for posting back-to-back Taylor. Also at the end what skipped is “I sit and watch you” so going back to the beginning of the song.

[@Obliviouscanadian]

Green, bitches 😍just finished watching your WCS reaction! Then I saw this?! What an absolute treat!

[@Peg4u]

💚 This one is heartbreaking. But still beautifully performed. Taylor's grandmother got Taylor involved in Musical Theater when she was pretty young. You can see that influence in her performances.

[@WillowEtain]

He is a fantastic dancer too.

Goosebumps on my legs😂😂

[@yourstrulybyrose]

Green! I watch all of your videos from start to finish! Your banter is funny and so relatable. As a former theatre director every time I see Taylor throw the props on the ground, I always cringe, thinking I hope someone is back there cleaning it up before the next number! Raphael Thomas (the man at the table) does a great job in this for sure! Also... I forgot to say this in the past videos that I have watched, but thank you for your service! My husband is in the military, so we appreciate everything you and your families do.

[@iamawallflower1971]

Green. Nice to see some appreciation for a truly talented songwriter.

[@Akkaylyn]

Green! In the bridge she says that she COULD break free and leave “us” in ruins, take the dagger in her and remove it. And she says “believe me, I COULD do it” But then at the end (the part that skipped) she goes back to the very first line of the song which is “I sit and watch you” so she doesn’t end up leaving

[@katiepooh2137]

Green!! Love this version just as much as the album!!! So beautiful! I here whatever y'all say love your input and intros too!! 💚

[@purpl3loverz]

The thing I love about this song is that anyone can relate to this. Everyone has felt tolerated in a relationship at some point. I’ve seen edits of couples in movies, Anna and Elsa, I mean her writing skills are INSANE. She said Rebecca inspired her but she wrote it because she’s felt this in past relationships.

[@sumersavin3405]

Green! You guys are awesome!

Yes!!!! I love this performance. A great way to celebrate the launch of TTPD with a double video on the channel... the presentation of champagne problems is also iconic. *A tip to find out if the video is real, is the comments section (there is always someone who questions whether it was made by a fan), even because many songs unfortunately do not have a clip. About the eras there is the film available on disney+ (probably from copyright problem, but you can have a basis)

I'm a huge fan of broadway and Taylor's tours have always had a theatrical element to them, but this Eras Tour is next level in the performances. I've seen the movie too many times already as if i hadn't been tuning in every show from a grainy livestream. She's incredible!!

[@kirby56jk]

Green! I’m so glad you guys came back to this and got to see the live performance!! so the reason it may seem a little off from the songs you normally listen to by her is because the tour version has the section after the first chorus up to the bridge removed! I assume for story telling reasons. Also she ends with the line “i sit and watch you” the same way she opens the song meaning, yes she tolerates him barely tolerating her 😔

💚💚 thank you for this! tolerate it is probably one of my favourite Taylor songs and I was a little bummed that you guys never got experience it’s power in the last video so thank you for going back to it! She sings “I sit and watch you” at the end, almost as if to say I know this relationship isn’t good but I’m gonna tolerate you just tolerating my love because you are my world. One of the things I love about this song is even through it’s about a romantic relationship, everyone can relate to it in some way. Most people know how it feels to put your all into something for it never to be good enough, to feel like you’re just being tolerated.
