Taylor Swift- We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Rock Version) REACTION

[@liz10988]

Taylor said her ex hated pop music so she made the song extremely pop knowing he would have to listen to it everywhere 😂

[@pigskinpoetry]

That's hilarious. That's the perfect amount of pettiness.

[@Kammy-nh8vl]

@@pigskinpoetry oh she can be super petty and I love it! Lol

[@graciep.6984]

@@pigskinpoetry But then to take this, the cutesiest, fluffiest pop song in her repertoire, and turn it into a rock song - that's impressive. That's what really gets me about this - that it was this particular song she transformed. I wish you'd heard the studio version first, for comparison purposes. It's probably my least favorite song of hers, but I love it for her pettiness, and it worked. It was everywhere. Inescapable. She does say in one song "there's nothing I do better than revenge", and she might be right! 😂 I really like this version though.

[@pigskinpoetry]

@@graciep.6984 i did end up reacting to the original eventually.

[@erinjkrizakk]

taylor actually did perform with a few rock legends during the 1989 tour; she sang "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" with Steven Tyler and "Satisfaction" with Mick Jagger on her Nashville stop, and she later sang "You Oughta Know" with Alanis Morissette on her L.A. stop. I thought that was pretty cool. Also, yes, 1989 was the year she was born! That was her first official pop album, so she wanted to title it her birth year to symbolize a rebirth of her musical style.

[@pigskinpoetry]

I know all of those songs! Are those performances any good? When you're singing a legend's song, who sings backup?

[@erinjkrizakk]

@@pigskinpoetry taylor always makes sure to give her guest stars time to shine during her shows, so she mostly sings backup and occasionally does a solo verse during those songs. I really enjoy her performances with Steven and Alanis the most because she gels the best with them energy/voice wise. I'm not as big of a fan of her with mick jagger because she was having a bit of an off day vocally and (this is not an insult to taylor, more of a testament to mick jagger's incredible talent) her stage presence really doesn't compare to his. you can find all these performances on KZbin, but they're not professionally recorded, so they won't have the same sound/camera quality

[@rturney6376]

I love 💗 her love for music. She is happy 😃 playing anywhere, anyhow

[@Amandaarford83]

She also did CMT Crossroads with Def Leppard so they did some of their songs and some of her songs together and it was pretty great

[@bobbyrw1398]

I think you'll be pretty shocked comparing the studio version of this. That'd be fun to watch.

[@pigskinpoetry]

Is it that different? Now you have me interested.

[@kahtiwalrac3504]

SO SO SOOOO DIFFERENT!!!!

[@pigskinpoetry]

[@jamiespeese2062]

If you didn’t like the rock version I don’t think you will like the album version. For some odd reason her best songs arent singles. Think that’s a major reason why people are turned off by her. So I would stay away from them if you wish to continue ☺️

[@pigskinpoetry]

@@jamiespeese2062 I actually liked it more than I thought I would. Check out the reaction!

[@kimrrb3665]

She doesn't really have other rock songs but if you're interested on something more like poetry she has two amazing folk albums called Folklore and Evermore. Songs on there like My tears ricochet, This is me trying, The lakes, Ivy and Cowboy like me have fantastic storytelling/poetic lyrics. That's where she really shines.

[@pigskinpoetry]

Yeah, people have mentioned that a couple times now. I might try one of those albums next.

[@DELILAHVEVO]

@@pigskinpoetryhaunted is sort of pop rock

[@pigskinpoetry]

@@DELILAHVEVO yeah. I reacted to that one. Check it out.

[@DELILAHVEVO]

@@pigskinpoetry I saw it after commenting that lol

[@aarioch2]

Right aaaand..... Champagne Problems! 💜💜

[@sanjnahh]

Tbh she doesn't need anyone famous with her on stage to perform this, even if you say that might be better for you rock fans. Her main genre isn't rock, so having a rock influence on her pop songs isn't actually about making it whole hardcore rock but to show her versatility. That she has been so much around music that she can blend genres or enhance a particular song. Many will agree that this is her best performance of this song, and yess with her alone performing it.

[@pigskinpoetry]

I wasn't implying that it wasn't good or I didn't like it. It just feels like it's missing a solo for this type of music. And as an added bonus for fans of this type, it would have been cool to bring out some guest to rip an awesome solo. According to many other comments, she's been known to invite guests, so it would have just been one of those moments.

[@madwoman_at.thelakes]

I didn't notice anyone give you the background info you were looking for, so i'll mention it here that this song, like the vast majority of the tracks on her Red album, is about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, the actor. They dated in 2010 when she was 20 and he was 29. He repeatedly left her and then begged her to come back, keeping her on a devastating emotional rollercoaster. There are many songs on that album about the misery and heartbreak of that situation, but this song was written when she was 100% done and refused to take him back anymore. As someone else mentioned, he hated pop music (only liked cool unknown indie bands) so she made the catchiest, poppiest song she could, knowing it would be inescapable from being played everywhere all the time, and would drive him crazy. Apparently he finally stopped calling her after that. Another song from Red that has this same sassy, shady "I'm over you" vibe about this relationship, but with a country feel, is "I Bet You Think About Me". They're both great songs with creative and funny music videos.

[@pigskinpoetry]

Thanks for taking the time to share the info. I appreciate it.

[@kena5651]

The 1989 world tour was in 2015 she was 25 at the time of this performance in Sydney Australia in Front of 76000 people she is currently 33 her birthday is December 13, 1989

[@pigskinpoetry]

Yeah, I figured it was something like this. Thanks for the info.

[@frostycyan]

now she's 34!

[@maggievalverde6816]

I think you might like State of grace or Holy ground from the album red, but for lyrical content I would suggest My tears recochet, Mad women, this is me traying and hoax from her album Folklore. My personally favorite are from her album Evermore Champagne problems, Ivy, cowboy like me, happiness and Evermore 😊

[@pigskinpoetry]

Thanks for the recommendations.

[@TheNraveles]

Man I WANT A STUDIO VERSION TOO 😭

[@pigskinpoetry]

I'll be honest. I'd like to see what am entire rock album by her would sound like.

[@keepyourmindopen]

@@pigskinpoetry So many of want one from her... Edit: The video to this song was filmed in a single take, if you react to the studio version maybe consider watching the video...

[@pigskinpoetry]

@@keepyourmindopen thanks for the tip.

[@Violet316]

There is cute a music video for this song. Taylor has had quite a few rock legends as guests on her tours.

[@pigskinpoetry]

Do you know which songs? I might search for some of those.

[@Violet316]

@@pigskinpoetry When Taylor has her surprise guest they sing that artist's songs together. Mick Jagger at her 1989 tour. Bryan Adams at her Reputation tour. The lists are long and the artists are from all different genres. Also, Taylor sang with Def Leppard at the CMT Crossroads, they sang Pour Some Sugar on Me and then I believe Love Story (Taylor's song).

[@pigskinpoetry]

@@Violet316 Awesome. I might look into some of those.

[@CoastDreamz]

This EAS youtube channel has a bunch of really good quality live performance videos of Taylor's. The studio version of this song is more tame. I think the 1989 album is the first video that is considered pop/rock for her. I've heard that this song is about Jake Gyllenhaal, but maybe it is about John.

[@pigskinpoetry]

I'm thinking it's a singer because of the lyrics I highlighted.

[@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos]

No it's definitely about Jake Gyllenhaal..the whole Red album was about him.

[@TheNraveles]

Speak Now is way more punk rock inspired imo (better than revenge, story of us, haunted, etc)

[@Violet316]

Just subscribed, great reaction. Thank you

[@pigskinpoetry]

Thank you! Stick around and check out some of the other videos. There will be more to come.

[@jamiespeese2062]

Please react to Dear John! She wrote it about her relationship when she was 19 and he was 32😩 she also wrote Shoulve, Wouldve, Couldve about him on her most recent album Midnights. Heartbreakingly beautiful!

Her relationship with John Mayer **

​@@jamiespeese2062was this one about John Mayer too?

[@kerrichristian7991]

I was so pumped to see that you were reacting to this! I really love this performance but my metalhead husband prefers the guitar from the album Red. I think he gets cringed out when Taylor rocks out like this. 😂

[@pigskinpoetry]

It wasn't cringey to me at all. I liked it, and I'm hopeful she does more of this in the future.

[@kerrichristian7991]

@@pigskinpoetry oh yay! I would,love her to do a fully rock album! She has such a great voice for basically any genre!

[@GeehSavinon]

Hey! I really appreciate the video, been watching the TS reactions. What I'd like to say is that, when it comes to rock music for Taylor, that's about it. She doesn't have anything else that we'd classify as rock. She is an amazing songwriter and has albums classified as pop, country and folk. So I hope you go for her work in other genres with an open mind. I'd totally recommend I Did Something Bad (live at reputation tour), Out of the Woods (1989 World Tour), Anti Hero music video and All Too Well (The Short Film). About We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, the studio version is REALLY pop, very repetitive, and it was made like this because Jake Gyllenhaal (the guy this song is about) HATES pop music and we think she wanted to be a little bit petty hahaha

[@pigskinpoetry]

Thanks for the info. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@x.ileniax]

you should check out better than revenge taylors version its my favorite just the studio version

[@pigskinpoetry]

Ok. I'll consider that one. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kimrrb3665]

You're setting her up for failure lmaoo

[@Taylah13]

Can you react to her original music video of this song you would be definitely surprised and shocked on how different the original song is

[@pigskinpoetry]

That's an idea. I think I might since a few people have requested that now.

[@xxShadowOfTheWolfxx]

i would love if you would at some point react to some Panic! at the disco maybe? Brendon Urie, the lead singer of the band, is one of my favorite modern vocalists and some of the Panic! albums have clear rock infulence. i would say the last album of the band is in 70/80s rock style and it's recorded on analog tape, so old school style with no voice effects. Viva las vengeance is a lead single with rock and roll vibe, God killed rock and roll is very Queen like song and Don't let the light go out is a beautiful rock ballad with a guitar solo.

[@pigskinpoetry]

I'll consider that. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@xxShadowOfTheWolfxx]

Let’s imagine; what would taylor need for let’s say a perfect rock album? More guitar solos? Obviously that song she performed it’s incredible pop, like one of the poppiest songs ever created haha so it’s funny and cool this rendition. Let me think what would she had to add for a pure rock album, cause let me tell you I know that if she feels that genre is calling her or it suits on her current state you would do it wonderfully, but tell me what would need to attract those led and Metallica fans to her

[@pigskinpoetry]

I think the solo is what a lot of people associate with rock music. It's the one thing that differentiates it from other genres.

[@maleo11.11]
