TAYLOR SWIFT ILLICIT AFFAIRS & RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME REACTION

Socials: dot.cards/darr...

[@aidasaneh8869]

Right where you left is a lyrical masterpiece, I mean she basically wrote a whole song out of the line "time won't fly it's like i'm paralyzed by it"😢

[@Jadorelainie]

I truly hate how perfect her mind is...where does all this genius come from?!!

[@nde7816]

Damn, you’re right…

[@jackelynrodriguez575]

And the song paralyzes you! It doesn’t stop building and you just can’t stop listening

[@laurensmith43017]

She knows exactly the right people to call in when she has a great base of a song to help her fine tune the rest. She usually is her own primary songwriter. But anytime I’ve seen her in a writing session she is very engaged, and very much loves putting a story together in her songs. In a world where industry people want songs to be vague or have a hook… she only has one song I dont feel like she works on to make the feeling specific if you’ve ever been there. Weird. But I met my soulmate at 14. Im 40 now and he’s still the one. But, despite my tears, he left me. He asks me now “how did we fuck this up, it’s always you. I think about you all the time.” He messaged me tonight. And everytime he asks how did we blow it so bad when clearly we are still very much in love: I have always responded “when you’re ready to come back, I’m right where you left me.” Hearing that song was like: does everyone have that one?? He says he doesnt want to be romantic because we’re old and married (or divorced) now with kids… And before its over he goes back to telling me he still loves me, I still love him. So I just forwarded him the lyrics at the end “I cause no harm, mind my business, if our love died young I can’t bear witness, And its been so long but if you ever think you got it wrong, I’m right where you left me.” The first time I heard it I sobbed because I thought of him, and how many times I actually said to him “I am/will be right where you left me.” This song feels like me.. perpetually young when he says he wants to put some distance between us because he met someone. And I tried so hard to get him to stay but he was determined. But damn if everytime I talk to him it ends with “I love you, you were always the one. How did we not end up together?” I just remind him that he called it off because he met somebody. But I’m right here. Never felt a song so personal a

[@O___________0]

So glad you left the restaurant ♥️

[@LauraKing]

Amazing!!!

[@christineviolet4831]

The fact that every time she says “you left me” it means something different! 1) right where you left me (still/frozen) 2) you left me (abandoned me) 3) you left me no choice HER MIND 🤯

[@maaikethijssen4094]

And when she says 'you left me no' she's in denial!

[@-kayla-tv]

y'all just blew my mind @@maaikethijssen4094

[@lizjewelry]

Also the ‘you left me, NO!’ meaning(s). The denial & the pleading ‘nooo’. Brilliant.

[@duckylmexican]

The "you left me no choice but to stay here forever" is such a great play on victimhood from a psychological point. We always have a choice but she's so heartbroken that she stuck in that kind of victimhood. If you've ever gone to therapy & got a great therapist, they grind into you about changing your mindset from a place of victimhood to get to a place of empowerment and moving on. Such a great song all around, the production and songwriting with its metaphors and storytelling. ❤

[@marigolden_mariposa]

​@@duckylmexicanexactly, she's so stuck and paralyzed that she feels like she has no control over it and that it's completely out of her hands. which makes it even more sad and scary. it's like sleep paralysis when you wake up but your body can't move.

[@mirza2975]

"Can she chill?" LMAOOO right where you left me does hit from the start

[@kittkatkadee]

Y'all did a GREAT job breaking down the idea that even though RWYLM is upbeat, it still somehow feels like it moves in slow-motion and is still so heartbreaking. It's fucking INCREDIBLE that she can make a song with constant momentum feel like it's somehow also lingering on a moment frozen in time.

[@musicfangirl7403]

When you stopped and said CAN SHE JUST CHILL?! Exactly. You guys are officially my favorite reactors now. I love your respect and your humor.

[@rumorsfromine]

i love that u pointed out that sometimes she expresses the feeling sonically, i think you'd appreciate the song "out of the woods" as it's both a bop and lyrically beautiful and the repetition of the lyrics is meant to represent the anxiety she was feeling when she wrote it. taylor's version comes out next month if u wanna react then

[@caroleigh4now]

THIS. It's the everything. The lyrics are so brilliant and amazing... but it's the lyrics with the SOUND... the tempos, melodies, rhythms, production elements... intention and choices that make a masterpiece. Genius.

[@evafischer6849]

After I finally got up the courage to end things with a guy who had been "slow dumping" me for months (progressively treating me worse and worse in the hopes I would end things while also saying he wanted to be with me and loved me HELLO that'll fuck you up) I listened to this song the whole way home from the restaurant and cried my eyes out because I knew he had left me months before. It was SO intensely therapeutic and helped me to process my own feelings and move on. Taylor really has a way of phrasing an emotion or experience that is EXACTLY what you've been struggling to put into words for months. I was lucky enough to go to the Eras Tour and the collective grief and processing of the audience while screaming Tolerate It and All Too Well was SO justifying, the energy shift was insane. To know that others relate to the same lines as you and have maybe gone through similar things was such a unifying experience

Oof I totally feel ya, just a few days ago I finally "broke up" with my situationship, who just "really enjoys spending time with me" and "missed me so much" and yet treats me like a stranger whenever his friends are around. It was tough, and we went to our restaurant that we just love bc they have great pasta, we had such a good time. Then we went back to his place to have the talk. He still wants to be "just friends" though. I got back home and just cried to RWYLM and Happiness

[@tjc4085]

@@oriyanbarnessounds like he wants the benefits of a relationship without the commitment. You deserve someone who commits wholly to you. Men make their minds up reall quickly and if they don’t commit soon, they’re just biding time until find someone to commit to. Aka, you don’t want to be that “stop” before he finds his one, meanwhile blocking u from finding someone who wants to go the distance with you

[@theskyplanet2702]

Oooh wonderful patriarchy making men be awful to us as they hit on someone else and then when we break up because we are DESTROYED they can argue that it was our choice. Love it. Living through the same shit. All the love.

[@alliel9970]

right where you left me may be the most painful but amazing song she's ever written. The line, 'if you ever think you got it wrong I'm right where you left me" is haunting- not only is she stuck after the hurt of this breakup, she is still holding onto hope he may come back, and it's years later if he's got kids and a wife now.... uggghhhhhh.... I love it but it is too much hurt for my poor heart.Subscribed hearing. you're gonna do album reviews- Happiness (Evermore) and Hoax (Folklore) will also break you, just warning you!

[@bellaconroy9527]

AND just to add to the genius in that line, she emphasises the “wrong” and “right” when she sings it and they are both opposites! There are just so many layers to her writing

You guys are now my favorite reaction channel! It’s so rare to see men break down deep lyrics and appreciate Taylor’s music and her as an artist without feeling emasculated or embarrassed because it’s “girl’s pop music” or without making jokes about the songs the whole time and not taking them seriously. I really like how you make an effort to reflect on the songs and pause when you comment instead of talking over the music and missing things. Please keep posting song reactions in full length. I’d love to see more TS reactions, even full album reactions that you can break up into multiple videos if you want. I also love Lana del Rey and it would be cool to see you react to her music - her writing is complex and poetic like Taylor’s with a beautiful voice and cinematic production. Keep it up with the good content 😊

[@megxomcc]

My favorite thing about right where you left me is the morphing of “right where YOU LEFT ME” (I’m still in the place you last saw me) to “YOU LEFT ME.” (You broke up with me) to “YOU LEFT ME no choice but to stay here forever” (I had no say in this and now I’m stuck). So many messages with three words.

[@razuma.]

Illicit affairs - is about cheating and how damaging it is to the relationship and to the people involved. It brings up the fact that all the gaslighting and lies ended up making the person who got cheated on feeling crazy and betrayed over and over. RWYLM - A relationship that felt like "the one" for the girl, yet it was a normal relationship that died for the man. She is left there wondering how and where it all went, and she hopes and thinks about how she does not understand why he left her there. For her it was perfect and though years went on, she stayed wanting it and even brought up the fact she would wait there forever, and if he came back, she would be right where he left her.

[@emmavink]

Yaaaaasss!!! I'm so happy that you guys highlighted the fact that Right Where You Left Me also has a strong metaphorical/figurative story. The song doesn't have to mean that she physically never moved on. It just meant that she couldn't emotionally get past that moment. This song is one of my very favourite of all TS songs. The rhythm is relentless, but so beautifully driving. Did you notice that the music also almost completely faded out when she starts describing the scene from the first person perspective? Sooooooo good!!! I also have always felt with this song that she is also talking about the impact of a moment like that can have on who you are as a human being from that point on. It's almost like she is saying that the person she was before the breakup is stuck there. That the moment was so traumatic to her self-worth that she knows that she will never be the person she was back then ever again. I'm LOVING the reactions and your discussions and interactions! Thanks guys 😊

Oh yeah, Getaway Car is a must! :D

[@777Risa777]

It's funny how you commented on the pen she uses to write, and I know you meant the literal ones, but she did reveal how she labels her lyrics based on metaphorical pens she uses to write them: Quill Lyrics, Fountain Pen Lyrics, and Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics. She described Quill Lyrics as lyrics that happen "if the words and phrasings are antiquated, if I was inspired to write it after reading Charlotte Brontë or after watching a movie where everyone is wearing poet shirts and corsets" quoting Ivy from Evermore as an example (but Illicit Affairs is an example as well, with all those big words). "Fountain pen style means a modern storyline or references, with a poetic twist, [...] Taking a common phrase and flipping its meaning... the songs I categorize in this style sound like confessions scribbled and sealed in an envelope, but too brutally honest to ever send", and the example she used was All Too Well. Then she described Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics as "frivolous, carefree, bouncy, syncopated perfectly to the beat" citing Shake It Off as an example.

[@strawcherries5848]

Ya'll should definitely react to the august/illicit affairs mashup performance she does on the eras tour. it's pretty emotional.

[@callmescrappy8848]

The unrelenting pace and repeating motif of RWYLM mirror the feeling of knowing the world and the rest of your life are moving by without you, and the quiet panic that comes with that but being completely unable to snap out of it even if you want to. The way she sings "Help", in an almost detached way...the speaker is scared and wants to move on, but doesnt know how, to the point that she's become resigned to staying in that place forever, and she's no longer sure anymore if it's willingly or not.

[@niemalsmehrdiegleiche]

I am so glad I found you guys. I really enjoy your reactions. RWYLM is one of my favs. I like how it's not a slow song because it represents how everybody moves on but she doesn't.

I really like this combination. Illicit affaires and RWYLM !!! right where you left me is the kinda song that you figure it out when you hear the bridge because she tell the best part of the story there . She did this in Champaign problems and getaway car and so many other songs. This woman obsessed with bridge!!!! It's like she complete the whole story in bridge and every other thing you heard start to make sense. And this song can be a perspective of her personal life when she wrote Red Album, when she was young (23,24)and heartbroken (I mean the time she wrote all too well). She definitely moved on from that situation but this song explains what would happen if she does not move on !!! She captured the feelings really good . I enjoyed watching you guys. Hope to see you soon. And I love to see your reaction to the lakes and happiness ❤️

“Comfort zone” is such a great way to describe this channel

[@vanessaolea4545]

Hey 😊 so clandestine means doomed to fail, dwindling means something that slowly starts to descend or become slower and mercurial means something that is extremely delicate and prone to change. So you guys were on the nose saying she just describes this affair as something delicate that gradually looses intensity and is bound to just explode at any moment. Love your reaction videos!!

[@ari642]

Man RWYLM is heartbreaking because of everything it is, but the line “if you ever think you got it wrong, I’m right where you left me” kills me every time. I can’t help but picture this woman sitting there with hope that the door will open and he will be there any moment. Like she cannot move ‘cause maybe one day he will come back and if she’s not there, he won’t be able to find her. Gut wrenching. Also, if you’d like to hear some other artists with some Taylor coded songwriting, I recommend History of Man by Maisie Peters. She went to the Taylor Swift school of heartbreak songs I swear.

[@tragicfolk]

i feel like "a dwindling mercurial high" could be a metaphor for how, like the element mercury, the promises made in this type of clandestine relationship are liquid, that is, volatile. they do not last because there is no way to predict constancy in human actions, even more so in illicit cases. That's why "take the words for what they are", because they are not solid.

I’m Brazilian and have been working as a ESL teacher for ages and “mercurial” is a world I’ve only discovered like last year and it’s already one of my new favourites

[@linggardyah]

you guys have no idea how many times i watched your videos, especially this one, best of the best track in folkemore universe

[@clairebud]

Would love to see you guys react to Marjorie. It's my favorite song of hers and such a beautiful, emotional piece of music.

[@elisamaer4739]

You guys are young but so smart at understanding her lyrics and that is why you have become one of the beloved reactors to Taylors music.

Queen of sad bops!!!

[@aprokshatiwari4423]

she has been making songs with one of her best friend jack antanoff (he is a producer) since 1989 and during the pandemic she met her collaborator soulmate Aaron dessner who is a member of a band called the national, she is a fan of them and during pandemic she asked aaron to work with her and help produce and write songs since then they have been serving together, im telling this bc yall said the production makes u wanna dance but its so devastating thats the magic of jack and aaron, we seriously love love love them, yk the tracks gonna be a banger of aaron is in it just pure magic. Love yalls reaction, as a lyrics based person ii love that you all breakdown lyrics in such a beautiful manner.

I need the illicit affairs eras tour version! It’s just so intense

[@ariannay9425]

“THAT IS MUSIC LADIES AND GENTLEMEN “ 😂😂

[@liberalcat9866]

"Wanna dance to but is heartbreaking" is HITS DIFFERENT!! Please listen to HITS DIFFERENT from Midnights Album!

[@megasmr2927]

Amazing!!!! I love illicit affairs!!! But I'll say it again, when you get to Evermore- No Body, No Crime (ft Haim) is FLAWLESS!! Her story telling in that song is so amazing, she paints a picture so easily it almost hurts. Keep it up, Im glad to see you guys back!!!

[@colleenb84]

“CAN SHE CHILL?!” No, she cannot. 😂

[@elinsiw]

Illicit affairs was my most played track 2021. Honestly played it all day every day for MONTHS.

[@Kaylan0713]

Just read y’all’s interview with Esquire and just want yall to know how amazing your videos are!! Been watching since the beginning and can’t believe how far yall have come 💕

[@blue_eyedfloozy]

So fun fact about me, evermore came out in December 2020 and I had just broken up with someone in November. Right where you left me was my most played song of 2021 and it wasn’t close

[@markbarnwell942]

another very well-done reaction. you guys are getting really good. folklore and evermore are simply great albums.

[@theskyplanet2702]

I love you two so much, this is shameless love and support. I don’t even have a reason to post this review, I’m just here (before I leave other 100k reviews during the video) that I’m 34 and in the two months or less that I’ve started following u (mind u I don’t even follow reaction channels) it’s like you two have become my children my baby boys

[@alysa6642]

Something so heartbreaking about the timelessness of the restaurant scene. The white cloth, the hairpin, all make me think we aren’t meant to know the era. How she slowly becomes a ghost in the room with dust on her hair, haunting her corner. She’s not present in time. Cinematic.

[@yeliaguilar4437]

I’m so happy you guys covered right where you left me!!!

[@emilym3679]

Damnit. I finally got to the place where this song didn't make me cry. My streak is over. Good work!

[@Violet316]

You guys are magic, it is awesome to see 2 guys dissect Taylor's music.
