Taylor Swift - my tears ricochet (folklore: Long Pond Studio Session) | Reaction

[@camerondangelo1138]

loved your reaction if you ever wanted to hear her belting i recommend listening to Don't Blame Me live at the reputation stadium tour

[@ThatSingerReactions]

I actually said that was her best vocal and song I believe right after I did this but didn't get to record it lol I did it on twitch 💯

[@kelloneill74]

@@ThatSingerReactions oh man, I would have loved to have seen that!

[@AM-dd6dx]

I think Cornelia Street Live in Paris is also a good choice!

[@kelloneill74]

@@AM-dd6dx agreed! Her voice was on point during that concert. I’d choose the one with footage to see her play her guitar - it shows her musicianship. Death by a Thousand Cuts is also great from that show.

"I'm not a singer that writes my own songs, im a songwriter that sings my own songs" -Taylor

[@alwaysreading]

Exactly! Her letterhead says Songwriter/ Feline enthusiast. (Not singer)

[@cmullis262]

Powerful

[@alaska49girl]

100%

[@EmmVee369]

Exactly. She is more comparable to Carole King who wrote more than she ever recorded herself. But if Carole had been conventionally pretty enough for the industry to package her as a stage act no one would now recognize her for her greatest strength today, the writing. Im so over the "recording artist" craze. I dont want the best singer from a contest thrown into a booth with a song they have no connection to, bought from a writer who cant get a record deal cause they dont have super human range.

[@bethm5791]

Yes. She is a song writer first. If she never picked up a mic she could have made GOOD money writing for other people.

[@krissy4187]

I can understand why people are turned off by her if they’ve only heard her radio singles. I was like that for years. When she released Folklore and Evermore during the pandemic I was like HOLD UP and went back and listened to her other songs and was blown away. She’s an amazing lyricist.

[@npats550]

Me too!!! Those albums sealed it for many people I think. Now I am deep diving into her past discography which is when I came across the album songs with Reputation. It's frustrating that her best songs don't get released as singles, because IMHO, most of her seriously great songs, don't get heard.

[@RosiesAndDaisies]

Obviously, her previous company and she herself had decided to promote singles that would play well on the radio and liked by the general pop listeners. But even when sifting through her older albums, there’s so so so much more she has to offer. It’s a shame that people have this fixed opinion on her so most decidedly agree to declare her as an airheaded, love-crazy, breakup-song-maniac artist 😅 I’m glad you do find some of her songs to be great! I just hoped that when she released Taylor’s version of her albums, she’d give the fan favourites a rereleased single promo and MV 🤞

[@nettie7598]

Same. That is when I became a fan. Folklore and Evermore hit me in my souls

[@mariahalvorsen1055]

Haha this is exaclty what happend to me as well. She is amazeballs

[@Meggyys]

YES SAMEEEEEEEE

[@wcamp2023]

Her best songs are NOT her radio hits. They are her heart felt gut wrenching stories

[@Fake_ginger-s3j]

Yes- I wish more people would realize this. Folklore and Evermore are masterpieces

[@stacygeary104]

Exactly!!!🙌🏼

[@jamiespeese2062]

I’m here for Taylor! I always say people who only know “radio Taylor” are missing out. For whatever reason her singles are not the best. You should do a deep dive! Her lyrics and storytelling are second to none. ☺️

[@OrlandoMarrero]

People see the beach, but a few dive into deep ocean to discover the hidden treasures ....That's Taylor's Music....She put out the Airplay popular easy songs..the rest is For You to discover the treasures!.....like many Heavy Metal bands in the 80's...the others songs were too difficult for others to understand!

[@rayannabarnett7375]

Agreed she has so many good ones ❤❤ and as she’s gotten older she’s sharpened and honed her skills ❤😊😊

[@rayannabarnett7375]

Been a swiftie since 2005

[@loriwyrick5362]

How can you say she is not a technical singer if you havent really listened to her music? She kmows exactly what shes doing with every note. Im glad you took time to listen to this. Check out a few more songs. I think you will enjoy it. Try live version of the opening act on her Reputation tour.

[@rollandgoodwin7310]

Her power is really her lyrics and how she conveys them to the listener. Her specificity with her certain words and phrases is such a powerful thing🫶

[@eventlifeaustralia]

100% agree love her lyrics

[@gloriabrennan5831]

She reached deep into her emotions and I feel that depth......whether it's frivolous or light it reaches me where it is supposed to....by the way I'm 80.

[@somewhereonlyweknow2814]

Taylor's bread and butter has always been her songwriting abilities. It's literally what she's known for. She writes songs like actual stories, with a beginning /middle/end and, sometimes, even plot twists lol It's like reading a book that also has a great melody to it. Please make sure to pay attention to her lyrics when reacting to her music, you'll get much more out of the experience that way.

[@hpmoody]

That's why they dub her Millenial Springsteen

[@nperkins582]

Yes!! I agree 100%

[@foreverwins]

She has said of herself she is a songwriter who sings her own songs ....but she is a songwriter

[@ZATennisFan]

The long pond sessions is probably her best vocal performance ever. Is she best technical singer out there? No but she is far better than most people give her credit for. And as a singer/songwriter/lyricist there is nobody better working today. And that is a hill I am willing to die on. I’m 53 yrs old and nobody has ever been able to make me feel as deeply across as many songs as she has…

[@troyanstone65]

Grammy museum performances are vocally beautiful also

[@ZATennisFan]

@@troyanstone65 absolutely. But she has also improved as a vocalist since then. But also I don’t think I’ve ever seen her happier than during that Long Pond Session. She was just glowing…

[@Rebwell]

Halsey. Also an excellent lyricist

[@wendymontie5660]

I'm only recently stepping into my 'Taylor era' and I'm 56 (admittedly, only finally gave her a better listen because I'm a Chiefs fan), but the more I learn about her, the more Swifty I get. I add her to my pantheon of amazing women of music.

[@ZATennisFan]

@@wendymontie5660 Welcome to the rabbit hole. It’s going to be a wild ride. I personally think she finest songwriter of this century. I’m 53 and nobody has been able to make me feel as deeply as consistently as she does. What have you been listening to?

[@sofiaschrager4343]

Her biggest strength is her lyricism. Her storytelling. She’s a full blown poet.

[@chaostakingflight7332]

This comment hits different now 🤍

[@cheryllondrymills2497]

Amen to that! So so true

[@1omarella]

Taylor’s lower register is my favorite vocals of hers. So understated, and beautiful at the same time. Her low register shows how far her range really goes.

[@ratinaburris]

Her lower range is *chef's kiss*. I hope she continues to explore more of her deeper vocal range and I cannot wait to see what comes from her music as she keeps aging.

[@theearthbutterfly]

Yes! The bridge in Maroon = chills

[@nettie7598]

Agree! It’s really hard to sing in a low register, and I feel singers who can do it beautifully are underrated.

[@tvil8]

I used to think she wasnt an amazing singer based on her grammys and late night live performances but seeing her in her bag on her tours, like 1989 thru to eras especially reputation... she IS actually a very gifted and exceptional singer. Her falsetto is beautiful, her lower register is rich, and her ad libs are unexpected and unique.

[@reagangaines1224]

I totally agree. Her voice has gotten better and more mature. She’s an alto & alto women don’t get a lot of love in the industry.

[@mugochoks9169]

The ad libs are incredible . They elevate the music all the time!

[@janerogers2395]

U need to listen to other songs… she does have a range

[@lizmillinor8681]

She has a beautiful lower register, but technically, she is truly a mezzo-soprano.

[@mellinatre1149]

I think most people are stuck to how Taylor voice sounded when she started, without realizing she was so young and she improved year after year after year..like she say in another song "she never been a natural all she does is trying" and that's part of why she is so loved too

[@mayasarwar-co6hr]

So true…. I also think that a lot of people don’t realize how many women singers build to sing so high; well when they try to hit her lower notes as her voice has matured they can’t. I think her vocals are amazing and raw. I’m so sick 2 minutes of vibrato that female singers build up to. She’s a genius on all ends; I don’t think people realized how many people don’t write their own songs. She’s truly incredible and my lord her lyrics will never be able to be touched ever, in my opinion.💜

[@Minipantherful]

I think Christina Aguilera is the only singer that kept her voice. She was born with that voice

Then a friend said "you've been listening to the wrong songs," and she started sending some suggestions. I am now a huge fan of everything Taylor - she's a national treasure. Keep listening. ❤

[@SamanthaParker-ir2gq]

Her voice is phenomenal not because of the technical ability but because of the tone and emotion conveyed. The fact the lyrics are so clear and concise and pleasant to hear. That's what I'm hear for. There are lots of ways to be an impressive singer, technical ability isn't the only thing

[@rachelcarter5282]

This summer I’ve watched a bunch of her tours and acouple different documentaries , ect ,to catch up on her career. I absolutely love that she figured out how to get HER work back.. If you can catch ANY of the one, in the rain, it’ll tell you exactly Who she is and her loyalty to her fans, bonuses to all of her employees… 100,000 bonus for each TRUCk DRIVER(10). Every show is 31/2 hours and how she’s mastered her music and the performances (that she really sings) . I’m 51 and wasn’t into the swiftie scene during her climb. I seriously respect the Woman’s career

[@j.alvrez]

listen i wasnt a taylor swift fan until i went to her eras tour (just for the hype) and really listened to her lyrics. ESPECIALLY during the folklore and evermore sets of the tour. ever since i saw her back in april, i’ve been hooked on her music and cant get enough of her lyricism

[@incognaytopotayto]

I wasn’t a fan until I got my daughter tickets for eras and decided to learn the set list so I know all the songs and could sing along ….I did not know how hooked I would get; her story telling is awe inspiring and the TTDP anthology actually made me cry, never expected that. It’s been a cathartic journey

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

Nonsense, she shows so much variation in your catalog....from Country to Pop to Folk and everything in between, she writes her own lyrics & songs and most melodies to accompany her songs, and performs them....list the artists who do that other than Taylor. She's a poet! I recently listened to Beyonce, how boring!

Getting into a story and delivery is everything. She is a songwriter and has impacted 4 Generations of girls/women. This is her gift and purpose in life.

[@kelloneill74]

As a singer yourself, you may not love her as much as the fans because her voice was never the main reason we adore her: it's her poetry and intelligence that made her successful. Her early performances are somewhat cringe vocal wise but she's gotten better and better over the years. I also find that her voice sometimes sounds better on some days than others. I like how you pointed out the she can use what she does have very well though. She's great at a nuanced delivery and knows how to enunciate certain words to great effect. I never go in expecting powerhouse vocals from Taylor, but sometimes she surprises us :)

[@bkirstie]

and a beautiful person

[@courtneyann24]

The way she utilizes her vocals to tell the stories in folklore and evermore is so incredible. Her vocals are like the narration of the story and vision she had when she wrote these songs.

folklore, evermore, and speak now are my favs!! Also as well, taylor is an alto, her lower notes are the besttt, so flawless and beautiful! would love to hear you react to "peace" and "this is me trying" both from the same studio session off of folklore!

[@FC-qb9wp]

This again, Taylor is not an alto, by the color of her voice alone she is not a contralto, her voice as you can hear is very bright, girlish and high. Singers can develop their range they can work it up and down, She's choosing to sing this low in order to tell the story and the overall mood, if she would be hitting E5, F#5 like she did on lover, the meaning of the lyrics and mood would be tarnished. A Contralto/alto is Cher, Carly Simon, etc. let me assure you Taylor does not sound like them.

[@Pure-Jealousy]

She's a songwriter that sings. Beautiful in every way! .....and she can also belt it out!!! We love her for her!

[@caitlazers46]

The control she has over her more mature voice is so gorgeous. This is one of her best.

[@KarenMonneau]

She has a beautiful voice and the best is to listen to her when she plays her songs at her piano or playing guitar. Also she is a genius lyricist and storyteller. She is 150% involved in everything that she does. She’s the leading person of her career which is rare especially in pop.

So many people think about 16 year old Taylor and don’t realize she’s in her 30s. Her songwriting has always been phenomenal but her singing skills have just gotten a million times better. She’s wildly talented.

[@michellewright9478]

She's an incredible lyricist. Her performance of All Too Well (I believe at the Grammys) is incredible!

[@stepanova8]

Taylor Swift won a National Poetry contest when she was 8. Wrote a novel length book at 14 and was the youngest person ever to be signed to a writer's contract by Sony ATV. Andrew Lloyd Webber played her part of the score for a new song for the Cats movie, telling her he didn't have anything for lyrics yet. Taylor told him she knew what that character would say, went off to the side of the studio and wrote the lyrics and top line for Beautiful Ghosts. It's sung in a musical theater style, but you can hear how she uses different parts of her voice. I think you would find it interesting, even if it's not your cup of tea.

[@Mrunal-m2y]

I love watching videos where the reactor starts with ‘I’m not the biggest Taylor fan’ cuz the journey she takes them on, seeing their minds get blown - it’s amazing 😂❤️✨

[@caitbrigid86]

You should watch more of her live stuff! I particularly loved how she sounded and performed on the reputation tour. Especially the song Don’t Blame Me.

[@alyssapapke]

She actually has a great voice with a huge range, people just assume she can only do one thing off of the radio songs they have heard or her younger stuff that she put out when she was like 16

[@SwiftieXinfinity]

She has a way of surprising people who don’t really realize the multiple genres that she can and does sing, thank you for giving the benefit of the doubt for you friend and your honest opinion. ❤😊

[@judithdoughty7967]

For this song it's her lyrics that are meant to be the most powerful thing, she's great at NOT oversinging just to show off. If you want to see a different side to her vocals you should check out Don't Blame Me-live Reputation tour, We are never getting back together (rock version) or Out of the woods-both live from the 1989 tour. She's one of the rare ones that sounds better live. There's so many live options that would show you various levels of her vocals (Grammy museum session, live Paris show for the Lover album or any of her tour footage). But the main thing that underpins it all is her extraordinary songwriting.

[@ingobordewick6480]

It's not meant to blow you away. It's a very personal song to her and that is what shines through in the way she is singing it. She is all about the emotions here. Love it!

[@debrakron9049]

I think you haven’t really listened to her words before. The whole Folklore album is fire! Same with Red! Really gives voice to the emotions we all feel when a relationship goes belly up!

[@amywheatley7695]

I am a swiftie. I have been since 2007. I appreciate your perspective as this was recommended to me by KZbin. This is one of my favorite songs. I know people have commented about her singing abilities. I immediately want to come to her defense because I love her and I love her sound. There are plenty of artist that are insanely talented singers. Some of those singers I just don't connect with as much maybe because their music style or lyrics. They may have a better range according to a trained ear, but I think Taylor swift fans love her so much because of her songwriting abilities and passion for the craft. I am in no way saying I do not think she's a good singer. I love her voice, live performances, etc. I think she's an amazing story teller. I think a casual Taylor swift listener may struggle to understand the appeal to some hits as they think it's just a catchy song. Swifties have an intimate relationship with the music. For example the song "look what you made me do" .. I'm not sure I'd like it if that was her only sound or the first song she put out, but I know what that songs means within the span of her career. Or people hear "22" and think another catchy pop song, but it's on the same album as "all too well". Both songs make me feel insanely differently things. I don't know if that will make any sense to anyone else but I think her music isn't as appreciated by people who do experience albums as a whole or know the concepts. I love the song 22, but again if that was her first hit I might be skeptical. All of this is alls just speculation as she cannot be separated from reality. I think a lot of people feel like she just exploded overnight too. Fans have read her diary entries, tumblr posts, and watched old videos of her pursuing this dream for years and years. She gave us a parasocial relationship before social media. We watched a little girl with a dream make it happen. I recognize a level of privilege she had/has. But people forget that this insanely rich and successful woman was once a 15 year old writing songs in her bedroom. We watch the passion she has when directing and writing. It's a really unique connection for fans. Her personality is also appealing to me. I say this because her work doesn't exist in a vacuum. We also watched her be scrutinized relentlessly, slut shamed, and what Kanye west did to her at 17 years old. I appreciate you saying this music might mot be your thing, but being open minded. I think Taylor swift's success, talent, and fan culture cannot be separated. I'm okay with that because whatever anyone else thinks she's brought something so special to fans that can't really be scrutinized the way a vocal range can. I believe it's a combination of so many things that make her so beloved. I don't say that because I think she lacks talent. She is my favorite artist and also one of the only mainstream ones I really really love. I can't explain it she just has a song to accompany every experience I have ever had as an American white woman that is her age.

[@GoodFang]

[@thebundybear5557]

Bro, the whole Long Pond Studio sessions is so good man. The raw emotion is insane. You know, other artists have ghost writers that say, here go sing this, and they do. But they have no connection to it what so ever. What sets Taylor apart, she wrote it, it's about her life and that's where the emotion and greatness comes from.

[@ReiRei992]

People hatin on her, tellin her she has no talent. But she writes her song, play instruments, make her own rhythm. No cussin on her lyrics, no graphic vulgar words like some artist. Her songs are relatable.

[@moo_moon128]

No one can write, the way she writes. Each song, each line is so beautifully constructed, and such beautiful inter-weaving of words. It's never just "I love you" of "I hate you" with her. She will write an entire story, construct it, use beautiful words giving us marvellous pieces such as those in folklore among others, and for that, I love her songs.

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

I agree, she’s not the strongest singer, but she uses her talents where she has them, to their fullest extent. Her vocals are still amazing how she uses them, her writing, her emotions, her performances….. she’s just amazing! Looking forward to more! Death by a thousand cuts live is amazing!!

Studied voice and been singing competiviely in choirs most of my life, so I do know what you mean when you say that TS isn't the best vocalist out there. But I DEFINITELY disagree with you that she isn't a technically excellent singer/vocalist. Her breath work and phrasing and rhythmic abilities are exceptional. She also has brilliant articulation. She is also one of the best at singing while playing either guitar or piano at the same time. She doesn't miss a beat and she is able to slow down, speed up, syncopate, etc., without much effort at all. So no, she doesn't have the strongest voice... But she isn't vocally bad by any means and her alto register is actually very strong. There are a bunch of her live performances I think you would really enjoy 😊

Taylor touches our heart n soul with her honesty n Bad Ass Lyrics n soft voice n belts when she needs!

My daughter recently dragged me to see her Eras movie and I was not at all expecting to find her quite talented. I’ve never paid her any notice, but now that I listened closely, albeit as a captive audience, I realize there’s a lot to like. A few of her songs hit like a master class. And many are spectacular. Who knew? Until recently, certainly not me! Today I saw her NPR Tiny Desk Concert & I was blown away. Now I get it. Totally.

She surprises people. A lot of artist had judged her. Imogen Heap was one of them until she worked with her and saw that Taylor is involved in every aspect of her music and said she's the real deal.

Taylor Swift fans know her best work is deep in her albums not the stuff on the radio.

[@katierotuno8600]

This song is gut wrenching and even more powerful in the eras tour. If you see the movie, she really gives more of her range in that performance!

[@907Bluedot]

Came back to this reaction, what a journey you’ve gone on.

[@melissagodwinjustmathinaro5548]

Her vocal simplicity is a big part of why we love her

[@shannonthompson2399]

The whole folklore album is beautiful

[@kaylagoebel5443]

This song made me cry

[@halfirish8056]

The song blew me away.

Taylor Swift is a life story teller. That is what makes her so good. She touches your heart. ♡

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my favorite songs off that album

[@darkharlezucreek]

She was born. Songwriter, so she had to learn the singing part. Age amd experience have improved her voice so much.

[@jorgevargas4677]

If you liked my tears ricochet you’d love the live version at the eras tour! Is truly a heaven experience.

[@jenniferbailey5914]

She is a poet that can put those words to music. She is a master story teller. This song make me cry every.single.time!

[@UnsimpleFangirl]

ahh, please react to her Reputation tour! She really showcases her belting vocal abilities during that Era! Specifically please please react to DONT BLAME ME live and/or I DID SOMETHING BAD live ! I think you will be shocked and pleased by those performances! Great reaction btw 🤗

[@stephaniepritchard1049]

I appreciate your openness to listening to her. Thank you for your video!!

[@joannburrage3371]

She can belt it out. Listen to her background vocals on most of her songs.

[@applehappyx-files2456]

Folklore is like my number one 😊 love all of them but yeah .. 🎉Folklore 🎉

[@samanthastelzer3178]

I love seeing peoples reactions to Taylor when they finally realize how great she is. She’s an artist. She knows how to write stories and use her voice. Her vocabulary is extensive. There are many other songs that you could check out to experience this. You don’t have to become a swiftie, but I love that you gave her a chance and that you liked it. ❤️

[@clscragg]

All her folklore album was sooo good 👍

[@daphneyherrington1065]

She’s damn good. She writes all her lyrics. She is an extremely talented woman.

[@JS-cu3kv]

She is so much better live!!! I always like performances better than the released albums.
