*REACTION* Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero

[@megandelynn6114]

Taylor holds her pen that way because she can quickly go from holding her pick & playing guitar & writing lyrics. She's been doing that since she was 12😁

[@AndyMagnusson70]

I play the drums and I also hold the pen like that. Wonder what´s wrong with me. Hahahahaha

[@mkrezanski6606]

My daughter holds her pen like that since she was very little . It’s got to be a genetic thing .

[@sarahhandberg5185]

Wow I didn’t know that. That makes so much sense

[@lka9900]

It’s also how they teach people who sign things a lot to hold it because it’s less fatiguing positioning

[@TheblondeKrista]

“Swifters” bless his heart ☺️

[@TAHBofficial]

😂

[@Foxy_Tatty]

My “bless their heart” moment was when they said “blank page” 😂. Love these guys so much ♥️

[@fantastischfish]

She holds her pen like that because when she’s songwriting, she has her guitar pick in her hand too.

[@andreapaola906]

I feel this song really reflects her anxieties

[@carolann500]

This song was from her album Midnights. In the intro letter of that album that she wrote to us, she talks about how she wrote this album late at night over many years when your thoughts won't turn off and they are usually full of anxiety and sadness. You can wake up the next day and feel much better but at night your worries can get the best of you. I think that concept has been very relatable to many people. This is just one of many amazing well-written and crafted songs of hers. Loved your video and hope you will react to many more of Taylor's songs. Midnights, Folklore, and Reputation are favorites for people who have never listened to her. Enjoy the journey!

[@TAHBofficial]

Yeah a lot of people can relate to this for sure!

[@CF-jj3pq]

My fave song. Three versions of how she was feeling. Used, entertainer, albatross that goes from city to city and invades. They all three come together at the end. Taylor really is a genius in her field.

[@dericpaloso9560]

The reason of the guy on the right for watching this is because of swift's popularity when she went to watch the Chief's game. And one of the lyrics in this song "too big to hang out slowly lurching toward ur favrite city" is what happened to her right now, she just came to watch football to support her man but everybody is obssesed with her to the point that a lot of men hating on her because the camera keep focusing on her. She didn't want that attention, she just there to watch amd enjoy.. she didnt even post a single thing on her social media about NFL. But people are blaming her. Like her lyrics says "It's Me Hi! I'm the problem its me"

[@rollandgoodwin7310]

She’s an amazing lyricist and producer. I love her directing style and her humor is pretty good💀😭

[@fernandacaldasn]

and one of the best performers

[@rollandgoodwin7310]

⁠@@fernandacaldasnyes sorry I forgot to say that. I went to the eras tour this July and it was amazing almost a 4 hour show non stop!

[@fernandacaldasn]

@@rollandgoodwin7310 no need for sorry. i get amazed everytime i see, didn't had the opportunity to see her yet 😕

[@IvyCowboy]

The videos of her "being herself" and interviews, etc. are my go-to videos when I need something happy.

[@Cucumberstopickles]

Taylor directed this video and wrote the song. She is so creative. I highly recommend Long Pond Studio Sessions. Stripped back, sung live. Or the Grammy museum small concert. She played guitar and sung live. She explained her song writing process. Fun fact, she is related to the poet Emily Dickinson. 6th cousin 5 times removed. There is correlation with her Evermore album as well which was dropped on Emily’s bday. Taylor is all about Easter eggs in her videos and just about everything she does so she includes her fans in every single aspect of her art.

[@demonhoopa]

I’m 59 year old rock fan who raised two day one Swifties to adulthood (now 29 and 32). I always respected her as a songwriter but I became an actual fan when she dropped the indie folk “lockdown” album “Folklore” in 2020 Her last three albums, all released in her 30s are the deepest, most mature work of her career. Folklore and Evermore are indie folk and Midnights is pop, but a dark, moody ethereal pop. Kate Bush lite if you will All three albums are masterpieces I’m gonna suggest the song Gold Rush from Evermore

[@IvyCowboy]

It's been fun to see an influx of men being curious enough to actually listen to Taylor Swift. If you keep listening, you will quickly discover why she's as big as she is and why she's still as relevant today as when she started her career 17 years ago. It's nice to see her finally getting the kind of positive attention she deserves. Would love to see you react to a few live performances from the Reputation Tour: ...Ready For It?, I Did Something Bad, and Don't Blame Me There is just something about her live that you can't explain and can only experience for yourself. ETA: I also recommend all of the folklore long pond sessions (but with the interviews included) :)

[@angshusarma8331]

Why not? 😂😂 My ex introduced me to Taylor and I'm stuck with Taylor since then.

[@audrey77782]

you guys have to watch the folklore long pond studio sessions, its a movie and taylor preforms the whole album folklore (which is considered her best lyrical album)as well as a discussion with her co writers/producers about the meanings of the songs

[@Jkm7fh]

I fully support this.

[@argentinaangel]

Tell the guy at the bottom of the screen this song was written to her fans, not just inner self work. Taylor's writing to us fans bc so many outsiders hate on her, and we're constantly having to defend her. Haters unknowingly make up lies and say THOSE are the reasons they hate her, and then later find out those reasons weren't true so they go back to looking for another reason to hate her. Yes it's exhausting for us. Even the mid-section of the music video shows OTHERS create all the chaos and drama while she's unresponsive in a coffin... yet somehow haters say SHE creates the drama 🤷‍♀️ so again she says "I'm the problem"... And the "sexy baby" line is a reference to Tina Fey in 30 Rock bc in S5E16 of the show Tina described young girls as "sexy babies"

[@jessicagentle_]

The part where it shows Taylor weighing herself on the scale originally cut to a close-up shot of it saying "fat." This was removed because people thought she was fat shaming when really that wasn't the case. It was referring to an eating disorder that she has suffered through. She's talked about it in more detail during her Netflix documentary, 'Miss Americana.'

[@AnushkaGroen]

Loved your open-minded reaction. Here are some of my recommendations: 1. All too well 10min version (SNL LIVE) 2. I did something bad (2018 live AMA'S) 3. THE ENTIRE LONG POND SESSIONS FOR FOLKORE. 4. Champagne problems from Evermore. 5. Long Live from Speak now. 6. Death by a thousand cuts from Lover. 7. We are never ever getting back together (live performance from the 1989 tour) 8. The entire Reputation stadium tour🤭

[@eddr5329]

About to fall in the rabbit hole of Taylor Swift, I love it. 😂 So many songs but music videos you should watch are “you belong with me”, “back to December”, “I knew you were trouble”, “all too well (10 minutes version)”, “blank space”, “wildest dreams”, “bad blood”, “look what you made me do”, “ready for it”, “cardigan+willow” and “lavender haze”.

[@jesslc143gaming]

Blank Page…Blank Space, close enough! Lol Great reaction and thank you for staying open minded!

[@jamiespeese2062]

Great reaction! Her storytelling is second to none. I would highly suggest all too well (the short film” which she wrote and directed, is actually up for an Oscar this year for it. And honestly you can’t go wrong with anything on Folklore or Evermore

[@LadyQbear2018]

I know places from her 1989 world tour is amazing! The power and the growls during that while tour are just beyond. I've never seen her do that anywhere else. Plus the way she transforms so many of her classics to make them fresh and new in there is brilliant.

[@chrisnewburg4839]

I heard someone say she holds her pen like that cuz that way she can hold a guitar pick and a pen both while writing songs.

[@jred9168]

I feel like “Me” is her most fever dream video😂

[@crazeekells]

I love seeing ppl react to our girl for the first time. Great reaction hope u do more Taylor!

[@Mary-ks2kc]

She’s written like that forever, I believe it makes it easier for her to write/hold a guitar pick when songwriting

[@lauraguerrero1324]

One of my favorite songs is right where you left me! There’s no music video but literally the lyrics just give you such a vivid picture! I would love you all to react to that one 🫶

[@Bloodmoonwitch13]

Hey Guys! First time watching your channel and you guys seem great! Super sweet and actually respectful towards Taylor and her music I love it! Thank you for being a genuine respectful fun group of guys to watch react to Taylor swift. Trust me your channel will get a ton of love from us swifties if you keep doing reactions to Taylor swift and they are like this one! Hope to see more soon I’ll be keeping an eye out!

[@TAHBofficial]

We really enjoyed this song! We will definitely be reacting to more of her songs. Thanks for watching!

[@OrlandoMarrero]

Thanks for the reaction! A Metal musician here but a Swiftie deep ❤.SHE'S A ROCKSTAR and a LIVING LEGEND!!! HER LYRICS AND INTERPRETATION ARE THE ONE'S THAT CUTS YOU THROUGH YOUR BODY AND SOUL ( that's the difference between the others) .There's a few artists out there if you wanna take classes of dancing and singing .......BUT IF YOU WANNA HEAL YOUR SOUL .....TAKE A JOURNEY TO HER GOLDEN HEART AND SHE'S GONNA LIGHTEN YOURS, DISCOVERING THE LOST INNER PLACES OF YOUR ❤ THAT YOU CAN'T IMAGINE !!! Her videos ( most of them directed and written by Taylor ) are like Mini Spectacular Movies ...I recommend You the live version of Her song DON'T BLAME ME ... from her REPUTATION STADIUM TOUR ( BETTER see Her LIVE !!! )

[@Bloodmoonwitch13]

@@TAHBofficialomg thanks for the reply! I sent your channel to my swiftie group chat so just know we will all be waiting for another reaction 💝👀

[@musicfangirl7403]

Taylor said she started writing like that because she was holding her guitar pick between her other fingers while writing down lyrics.

[@wickedwillis5611]

See now you need to watch her opening number - ready for it - from her reputation stadium concert, it will give you an idea of her performances

[@dvkins6394]

She holds her pen like that cause she writes as she plays the guitar (she holds a pick while writing)

[@103iisjsj]

Damnn I never noticed how she holds her pen and I actually hold it the same way too for no actual reason 😭 but i never thought someone else would be holding it the same way I do. That’s cool to know about it

[@eirinikomotini]

Great reaction! This is the first ever video I’ve watched from you so I don’t really know what to recommend… if you like heavily produced stuff try her Reputation album, maybe “are you ready for it” If you like more lyric heavy try basically anything from Folklore or Evermore, my personal favourites are “this is me trying” and “champagne problems” (respectively) If you are at all into country I would recommend “Dear John” Taylor’s Version from Speak now And the Swifties’ national anthem: All too well (10 minute version) - this is a must! And if you watch the short film, please try to focus on the lyrics too, this is the most important part always with Taylor! She’s so popular mostly because she’s a great storyteller. All her choices remove around that… the subtle details in the music, the vocals, the visuals, they all serve the purpose of telling the story

[@TAHBofficial]

We love for you guys to chose the songs that made you fans of Taylor. So we usually pick the song suggestion that has the most upvotes in the comment section. Thank you for watching!

[@LindsUnhinged]

great reaction!! a few things 1. yes she really holds a pen like that as an og swiftie it’s been a long time running thing that we all think it’s weird lol 2. it’s about all her demons/fears. she fears her children will never love her and only see her as something to profit off of as the world does aka the dream sequence 3. please react to all too well ten minute version, cardigan, don’t blame me AMA performance, or we are never getting back together 1989 tour version :)

[@melissaisloud7404]

MASTERMIND is a lyrical masterpiece.

[@lisalazarus8519]

Fantastic reaction! I'd highly recommend My Tears Ricochet from her Folklore album. This is a slower one, but it is beautifully and brilliantly written and produced. Her range and low register are on full display. Try to react to the Long Pond Studio Sessions version so you get a snippet of her writing and recording process. It's remarkable to be in the room. Thanks again for sharing this with us! ❤

[@RobGamesOn]

Check out the Cardigan, August, and Betty story from Folklore. Each of those three songs are part of a fictional love triangle between three teenagers (Betty, James, and Augustine) and each song is from the point of view of each person in different periods of time. Cardigan is from Betty's perspective years after James cheated on her with Augustine. August is from Augustine's perspective after the summer fling she had with James. Betty is from James' perspective after everything happened where he's begging Betty to take him back and that he's sorry... it was just a summer thing.

[@undeecidedhuhu]

about the way she holds her pen, i can't speak for everyone but I've noticed it in 2014 and she just writes like that - I also learned to write like that because of her.

[@Jkm7fh]

First time here and I loved your reaction. Thank you for being open to Taylor’s music. Most people who aren’t fans think all her songs sound hyper pop like Blank Space, which clearly isn’t the case. Regardless of the genre of music she’s making, which is certainly diverse, the quality of her songs and songwriting is consistent. The woman definitely knows how to use words. May I recommend the following: I Did Something Bad (live Reputation tour), We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (live 1989 tour-rock version), Exile (lyric video), My Tears Ricochet (lyric video), Evermore (lyric video), and Thug Story w/ T-Pain. Just to name a few. 😁

[@LanaJulie33]

Her behind the scenes for her music videos are amazing! Especially when it's a video she has directed like this one. She is so clever and has a very specific vision

[@UniqornGleek29]

y’all seem like a really sweet group of guys. i look forward to more music reactions, especially taylor swift! keep up the good work. sending good vibes from Texas! ❤

[@TAHBofficial]

Thank you ❤️

[@spikeluv84]

This song is self-therapy!!!😂✌🏼

[@terryblair966]

One of her best songs

[@MargaretBryson-b3n]

My favorite song of hers right now is Karma. Excellent! She is an exceptional song writer.

[@conniedean1977]

Taylor directed this vid. ❤

[@Dolly19752]

I recommend All Too Well 10 min version and my tears ricochet.

[@sashabowerbank5445]

Awesome respectful reaction guys. This is the first video of yours ive seen. Keep doing taylor and youll get a new subscriber. I watch alot of reactors and i really enjoyed your vibe

[@TAHBofficial]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching!!

[@alyzzzzard5089]

An incredible lyricist for sure. I would definitely recommend even some songs that don’t have MVs/weren’t released as singles. Some favs from her most recent albums: champagne problems, my tears ricochet, this is me trying, peace, midnight rain

[@tapesbyjocy]

she does hold her pen like that😭 it’s cus when she writes songs she holds the pen and guitar pick in one hand lmaoo

[@CandiceAlane]

All Too Well (10 min version) is considered her peak work. There is a music video/movie associated with it

[@tatianacotter8693]

There is a song that doesn't get recommended often, but I love to see people react to it because it is so surprising to those who don't really listen to Taylor...and even to those of us who are long time Swifties...it's Vigilante Shit. It's a short song, but packs a punch. I'd recommend watching a live performance of it AFTER watching the lyric video.

[@UniqornGleek29]

YOU GUYS have gotta do All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (The Short Film) it’s emotional wreckage. Also, Out of the Woods is my fav taylor music video. i hope i get to see many more taylor reactions from yall so i’m gonna subscribe. ❤

[@IndieCindy3]

I prefer when people react to the lyric video because the music video takes away alot of the focus from the lyrics. Plus, I just find it cringey.

[@mdg001]

this is the first time i see your reactions, hope to see more taylor swift

[@TAHBofficial]

We definitely will!

[@bradliehallbauer9225]

One of my favs is her 1989 live tour- never getting back together (rock version)

[@mamab4720]

Loved this reaction and you guys paused the video instead of skipping through the song too, which ruins the whole reaction vibe, honestly. You should do a reaction to the MV for the song "Ready for It" off her album "Reputation". The effects on that video are amazing and many of her live performances are great too. The live reactions aren't so easily taken down by KZbin either. "1989 in Concert" "I Knew You Were Trouble" the 4K video on KZbin is stunning in sound and everything. Her "2018 American Music Awards performance of "I Did Something Bad" is one of my favorites as well. There is so much to see and hear but once you start down the Taylor Swift rabbit hole you are sure to be on your way to becoming baby Swifties, guys.

[@TAHBofficial]

Yeah that’s a sneaky way other reactors can make money off music videos. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@heatheranneratcliffe]

Y’all love this video so much, it’s because she produces and directs her videos.

[@luthietin2]

We call that a sad bop in the swift world. There's quite a few of them, sad af if you listen to the lyrics but also make you want to groove.

[@sorrynotjoey]

obvs do the city of lover concert!! any song but definitely do cornelia street and death by a thousand cuts!!! a must watch from that live stage!!!

[@sofiagv95]

Absolutely you should listen to All too well 10min version. Even if the song was famous, the lyrics of that masterpiece♥ Vigilante Shit is not amazing lyrics wise but it was a great beat and I love the theory the fans came up with that the lyrics are about SBraun. One of my favourites is 'I know Places', I also love the lyrics of 'Never Grow Up', 'Long Live', 'Bejewled' Honestly? Her songs are amazing lyric wise, you might not like the popy sound in some of them but you will be able to appreciate that she writes All her songs

[@addikate8409]

omgg yesss do more

[@Burketag]

She write her songs and directs her videos!

[@cameronphillips5692]

My tears ricochet

[@renceljoygaloso4923]

'i bet you think about me' - this has good music video too 😊

[@jred9168]

“Lavender Haze” is also a great fever dream video

[@r.maciel2544]

Great reaction. Can’t believe I’ve never seen ya’ll before. You’re going to love Taylor.

[@JanEvanoff]

Try NO Body, No Crime. I love it because it's a little on the creepy side. Just started listening to this talented storyteller & so far, I haven't been disappointed.

[@petervee9215]

You need to do the 10 minute version of All Too Well. Lyrically it’s phenomenal 😊

[@jasonlang9074]

Her music videos are all so different but good

[@TheHD0000]

LOVED THIS REACTION!!!

[@TAHBofficial]

Thanks for watching!!

[@josefinasoderholm6488]

You do need to se the music video to Blank space though. A masterpiece!! You will enjoy it. It’s all about Taylor joking around with medias drawn up picture of who she is

[@Avy9gc]

I’d say do her later videos first since she’s directed most all of them. “Cardigan” & “Willow” music videos are connected, so do those two together. “All Too Well” 10 minute version short film is fantastic. “Karma” featuring Ice Spice is fun (and the message is partly about her taking back her music rights). “Lover” is a great video. Also recommend watching Reputation live concert video (“…Are You Ready For It?” “Don’t Blame Me””I Did Something Bad” are good ones)

[@11ibi]

We need more Taylor reactions immediately do seven by her next from her folklore album

[@4alz.9]

you guys need to listen to taylor’s album folklore! the lyricism is absolutely breathtaking. try “this is me trying” and “my tears ricochet.”

[@lukey_puppy]

i love taylor swift🩷🥹great reaction guys again💕i love you guys ❤️🥰

[@TAHBofficial]

❤️

[@JRay.R]

K wait I love you guys! Y’all all look so much alike. This was an excellent reaction video. The Waitress as her daughter in law is really so spot on, don’t you think? The song/video would be great, even without the skit but it was great in my opinion. Glad you guys enjoyed it all too! Now y’all can sit back and let the Swifties bless you with prosperity hahaha.

[@mariaeduardafernandesdepai6079]

loved the reaction! you should totally check her short film for "All too well 10 min version (Taylor's version)", it's considered her best written song by many, and she directed the short film, that's based on a relationship she had with an older man when she was 20/21, and he has a pattern of going after young girls

[@Idek_4532]

just realized Taylor and I write the same way

[@CoastDreamz]

So glad you liked it! Taylor has a wide range of sounds and styles, so it's a good chance that there are other songs of hers that you'd like. I really like her, but I don't love all of her songs. There are some albums I love and some that are a bit "meh" for me, and that's okay. She is one of the best lyricists in music. Listening to her songs is like hearing a story. I think she is very talented and seems to have kept a decent head on her shoulders even as she's gotten super famous. Another thing - I hold a pen/pencil like her too. lol

[@jennifermorris6848]

Confession here. Kansas City mom trying to learn more about Taylor myself. I’m hoping the Kelce breakup songs happen well after February.

[@TAHBofficial]

As a Broncos fan I hope it happens before 😉

[@Suprachiasmatic]

You guys should watch the Bejeweled and Bad Blood music videos. I think they’re both really fun for new Taylor Swift listeners just because of the cameos in the videos!

[@borokawerner306]

It was so funny the way you said: The only song that we know is blank page😂. Actually it's blank space😉😆

[@abell509]

Champagne Problems has great lyrics, Willow is a beautiful video.

[@michelle61949]

Gotta admit I stumbled across your video and wasn’t expecting much. But dang! You guys are great. Good read on the lyrics. Love the open minds. I’ll be checking out more of your stuff.

[@Emerald_Rain13]

Enjoyed the reaction. Two song I recommend would have to be: The Archer and Exile.

[@sirsimonthesentry4787]

Exile from Folklore - actually any song from folklore or Evermore. Folklore won AOTY, Evermore was nominated for AOTY.

[@jayesoine6981]

I love your reaction. Keep em coming!

[@charlenedee3358]

Do a reaction to My tears ricochet and Ivy, that's her songs that I loved the most, she's such a lyrical genius

[@whitneyferguson9930]

My son holds his pen the same way, always has..

[@alohasargent]

At the end, I think the term you were searching for was "sad bop" -- that's a Taylor Swift genre for sure. Can't wait for the next one! I recommend anything from Folklore. As others have said, if you can do the Long Pond version, it is a live acoustic performance. But just doing lyric videos would also be fine, if that's easier for copyright.

[@gailnorton3609]

You should do this more, nicely done.

[@cowboylikekale]

i love this. please do no body, no crime ft. HAIM from her evermore album!

[@IndieCindy3]

Love the vibes here, fellas! I think it would be awesome if you guys could react to her Folklore album and then move onto Midnights to get a good sense of where she is at currently.

[@SknezE]

Lol she's like the famale version of BTS! Way to pick two biggest fandoms in the world 😂 Blank Space is the song you meant. If you don't know it in detail, it's totally worth checking out. The MV is awesome. I've been singing to her "You need to calm down" song a lot. I'd recommend it. Clever fun lyrics and totally fun video!

[@MAY_sharma.]

Amazing lyrics

[@MayvPH11]

Subscirbed. Swiftie here from Philippines. Love your reaction. 💕 I must recommend folklore album, evermore,reputation album and more of midnights till dawn version. 💕

[@TAHBofficial]

Thanks!

[@crickettrapp984]

Bad blood is a great video

[@loud_hailer6240]

Please do more Taylor! Tell us what you like so we can suggest, but from this one you could continue on her Midnights album with Lavender Haze but also... Her music video for Willow from her Evermore album, or Watch her Grammy Museum Performance any of them they are awesome strip back bliss, Her live performance of the Folklore album called Long Pond Sessions is phenomenal, Cover of Phill Collins Cant Stop Loving You at the BBC1 Lounge, Cornelia Street live from Paris, These are other fantastic songs you should really really check out: Exile, Ivy, This is Me Trying, Never Grow Up (Taylors Version), New Years Day, and like 100 other songs haha

[@TAHBofficial]

We love to leave it up to you! What we do is usually pick the song that’s been upvoted the most on the comment section. We love to listen to the songs that made you fall in love with Taylor. Thanks for watching!

[@madelinewise8692]

Nice reaction guys. I recommend Wildest Dreams, Ready For It? Blank Space, Lavender Haze. If you want deeper sad cuts: This Is Me Trying, Tolerate It, Happiness, Exile, Hoax, My Tears Ricochet.

[@eileencullinan2936]

My first Taylor video reaction. Really loved it looking foreward to more. Oh I tried writing holding the pen the way Taylor did, very easy to write like that,you should try it.probably less fatigue on the fingers. See you on the next one😊

great reaction boys!

[@TAHBofficial]

Thanks for watching!

I love Taylor and Bts!!! Please continue to react to Taylor, her best songs are definitely the ones that aren’t the radio hits. Some of my favorites are The Story of Us, Treacherous, New Romantics, Getaway Car, Cornelia Street, Death By A Thousand Cuts, The Lakes, Right Where You Left Me, its time to go, would’ve, could’ve, should’ve!! Thanks for the reaction❤

[@kialeberle5149]

Please do All Too Well. It‘s a fan favorite and has some great lyrics

[@laverneswartz]

Hey😂i hold my pen exactly like that lol.... if i had to choose my favourite song by Tay tay, it would have to be 'Epihany' from her 2020 album Folklore
