Taylor Swift - Our Song Reaction

[@MichelleHain]

What’s really cool is the guitarist behind her with the AMAZING hair is still on stage with her at every show! Paul is amazing and has been with her from the beginning 💙

[@johnwright8361]

Actually that is Grant Michelson who left before1989

[@Sherri-OH1989]

Never worry about “getting far too serious” in your reactions. I am fairly certain others will agree with me on this opinion. Your deeper look into the lyrics, song meanings, and your own personal references & view points are what makes you stand out as authentic in your reactions. Keep it up! Have a great day!

[@amycoleman3688]

Same. It feels like group therapy. 😁

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Thanks, Sherri! It's good to hear and I'll keep it up!

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

Taylor came on the country scene when there was no young girl’s perspective, it was so fun! She wrote Our Song when she was 14, I think she’s 16 or 17 in this video.

[@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD]

Yes she wrote it for the 9th grade talent show

[@anibindi3752]

9:22 Izzy finding ways to ‘therapy’ us and pose great philosophical questions even in ‘Our Song’ 😅😂

[@JessMessica]

Hahaha exactly ❤

[@MaureenKarnow]

Right!?! And he always does it so well- It’s literally his MO at this point!

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Really glad you guys enjoy it! I enjoy doing it!

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

The shot where you see Taylor with her guitar player- that’s Paul Sidoti and he’s still with her today! And Amos Heller, the bassist has also been with her since ‘07. Taylor planned a break in the Eras tour to coincide with the birth of Paul’s child so that he’d get a couple months off with his wife and little ones. Very cool.

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Cool stuff indeed!

[@emilyelser1779]

You are keeping us fed with Taylor videos! I hope you're enjoying yourself as much as we're enjoying watching you! Thanks as always Izzy!!

[@ellenwaffle9440]

It is unreal how young she was when she wrote these songs! So talented.

[@leftymu]

What's wild about this one is that Taylor wrote this by herself at 14 at school; imagine being a teacher and your 14 year old student gives you THIS. I would be gobsmacked beyond belief. One of the things I love about this song now is that it's one of the first songs in her discography, but still shows some of her trademarks that I love about her that she still does today. The way she seamlessly alters the perspective of the story so that it changes from "didn't kiss her" to "didn't kiss him". The icing on the cake is "grabbed a pen and an old napkin and wrote down our song", bringing it full circle in a brilliant way. When people suggest things like that Taylor is overrated or not talented, because they've heard a pop song that they don't like, I feel like they have to be directed to her debut album because to me it explains exactly why she has ended up where she has. It's really not every day that a 14 year old gets signed as a songwriter and releases their debut album of this quality two years later.

[@tay-bolter]

aw it seems that you are blushing the first time you’re retelling your story from your younger days. that’s why i love taylor songs so muccccch like she’s making me giggle or acting like a widow on the 1950s when in fact there is nothing is going on in my life.😅😅😅

[@BlueMel_MH]

An example of her cleverness and comedic timing, check out "Monologue Song" from her hosting SNL. It was the only time the writers and Lorne Michaels saw and allowed a guest host to walk in with a fully formed bit and just go live with it.

[@adriankrue]

While you’re on the debut rabbit hole, her track 5 Cold as You is still one of my favorites to this day!

[@toot0913]

Luv your thoughtful British reactions. 😊

[@MCP920]

I’m probably a tad older than her mother and it’s been interesting to see her literally evolve from beginning to today.

[@ellenwaffle9440]

Taylor loved Shania! She speaks about how Shania was an inspiration to her.

[@linneathunberg6459]

she wrote this song when she was 12!!!

[@patriciaoutland1453]

Unreal how much talent she already had such an early age. Love listening to your own experiences and references.

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Thanks, Patricia!

[@nixllamas9823]

A different youtube reactor who once saw Taylor as a young girl starting her career claimed he didn’t think Taylor would make it. However, a lot of other people on the industry have also commented on Taylor’s passion, persistence, and incredible work ethic, even at a young age, which is why she’s as big as she is now. She earned her place in the industry because she wanted it bad and she worked hard for it.

[@TG-mu5ix]

Shania Twain was a big influence on Taylor when she was starting out.

[@Yephimł]

Girl always had that pen game. For sure!☺️🙏

[@yvetterodriguez2550]

It's funny you say that about her reminding you of Shania Twain. She was one of Taylor's inspirations and influences growing up. Faith Hill, Tim McGraw's wife, is the other influence. But I think it was mostly Shania because she was making music that was right in between pop and country whereas Faith Hill was more country. Throughout the years, Shania Twain has shown some love and respect to Taylor. Really admires her as an artist and songwriter. Faith Hill has been more quiet but when asked about Taylor she always says nice things about her. And to think about it, whenever I think country, old men come to mind. So when Taylor stepped onto the scene, she was young, new, fresh, different, more relatable to a younger audience and therefore being more sought after because she was this young, beautiful teen girl making some catchy tunes in country music. It created a shift for country music.

[@anibindi3752]

First comment! Day off ill today so KZbin day 🙌 I hear she wrote this for her high school talent contest when she was 13/14?? And she insisted that it go in her debut album despite the label not ‘feeling it’. Turned out to be the most popular on the album. Still haven’t dug too much into Debut or Fearless yet… I am a new 2024 Swiftie 😅

[@ivanzamarripa9393]

i didnt speak English when this song first came out but i wish i did! i would've been all over it. i love it its so fun

[@WinnyFoster]

I think she wrote this for her 9th grade talent show! Her first album has at least one song she wrote at age 12 🤯 mad talented from the get go

[@heathercochrane2207]

This song or "You Belong With Me" are 100% the songs people sing/hum along to... they're just fun.

[@areviewlution7734]

I hope you decide to view How Did It End off of TTPD Anthology!!! She has a lyric video for it!!

[@missydemeanors1760]

Not my fav era but huge props to a 14 year old TS who wrote this

[@sandyczarnetzke7141]

Izzy are you a shy guy??😉 Just kidding. Actually Shania Twain, Faith Hill and the Dixie Chicks influenced Taylor when she first started out. She looks like a little angel in this fun video that was released as a single in 2007. Good therapy session and reaction. ❤Stay safe

[@IzzyIzenstain]
