Therapist Reacts/Analyzes: Vigilante Shit by Taylor Swift!

[@svbiology6570]

Dressing for revenge is such a great way to say getting up, getting ready, going to the studio to re-record the stolen albums. Taylor never loses! Why anyone would cross her at this point baffles me. She made it clear years ago, "There´s nothing I do better than revenge". You gotta love a vengeful queen!

[@mendwithmere]

Loooovvveee ♥️

I have thought since their divorce was announced that Yael must hear "she should be mad, she should be scathing like me, but no one likes a mad woman" in her head on repeat, but that's just a thought from a woman who's never met her so who really knows. Vigilante Sh*t has the most underrated bridge of Taylor's career.

[@mendwithmere]

Yes!! 🤍

[@benriggs7239]

It was so great to see you smile through most of it, made my smile to the song even bigger. The song just makes you want to scream “YES GIRL!”

[@mendwithmere]

😂 Thank you!🥰

Scooter Braun created a fund that was based on Swift's original recorded albums - he was going to pay out profits based on the income generated by them. Only Swift re-recorded her albums and radio stations were told that if they used the Braun-owned recordings they wouldn't have access to Swift's new music (created post Braun) - so there were no profits from the old master recordings. Braun had to return the money that was invested in his funds, only - gosh - about $100 million dollars was missing! And *THAT* is why the FBI is investigating him (and also probably the last straw for his wife). So what is the moral of this story? Taylor was correct when she said "There is nothing I do better than revenge".

[@samanthareninger4667]

Ohhh I didn't know that...that makes this song fire!

[@georginamoreira6723]

I love how in the frase "I'm on vigilante shit again" the word again sounds like she's rolling her eyes, like "UGG", again, really? JAJAJAJAJ. She's a mood ❤️👏🏽

[@mendwithmere]

YESSSS I thought the same!

[@beannjess128]

EXACTLYYYY

[@layna8052]

[@missmaggicasares6538]

I found someone's theory on the "he was doing lines" part (well his thought more like) he had re-watched the KW phone call fiasco and for whatever reason, he connected it to this part in the song: "he was doing lines --- rehearsing lines or acting out HIS lines as if reading from a script "while crossing all of mine" --- essentially erasing/editing everything she said in that phone call. I found it refreshing and again with HER songs it fits the narrative as well, so who knows.

[@mendwithmere]

Ahhhh that makes so much sense!

[@tricia007100]

he was doing lines means he was doing cocaine

[@Hardleyheckling]

Also the “she needed cold hard proof so I gave her some she got the envelope where you think she got it from” is almost definitely about Kim because she brought a huge envelope to the divorce trail and because of that Kim “gets the house gets the kids gets the pride”

[@emmettseggsack]

Your line about her being the worst of his problems reminds me so much of the quote “if I cannot become better than them, I will become so much worse” from my favorite book and honestly this song gives me the same vibes as the character who says it

[@emmaisinexile1987]

I love this song❤ It’s soo powerful, it shows women we do have power even when men tell us we don’t 🥺 I’m glad she isn’t upset or crying anymore about what these men did She deserves happiness 🥰

[@mendwithmere]

Yes she does! We all do!

[@aja6647]

It also sounds like she’s smiling/ giggling on the line “I’m on the vigilante shit again” and WE LOVE THAT

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

I’ve been WAITING for this one!! This song is one of my top favourites from the album! ❤️❤️ total bada$$ energy!!

[@mendwithmere]

Yes it is!!🤍

[@tricia007100]

I love this song. Taylor is a great example of how to navigate this man's world. I love that she just comes out and says exactly what she did. I don't think anyone else will dare mess with her again. "I don't start shit but I can tell you how it ends". We can all learn so much from how TS handles the situations where narcissistic men take advantage of her. Being a "nice girl" is not an option when you're dealing with snakes, you need to go all vigilante shit.

[@mysticalwitch]

This is my favorite song ever !! It resonates with my inner witch and it makes me feel so powerful and badass !

[@mendwithmere]

Yes!! My rising sign is also Scorpio, that must be why I love it so much too!

[@kosmikpixie]

Genius Lyrics says the word is innocents, not innocence, and I agree because to me this is a direct reference to Kanye for whom she composed Innocent after he 'apologized' for storming the stage in 2009. Also, "thick as thieves with your ex-wife" refers to, imo, Kim K, who I believe released the entire audiotape of that infamous phone call with Kanye, clearing Taylor in the process. To me, Taylor and Kim K have reconciled, but are keeping it hush hush.

[@bobbyrw1398]

Thanks, Mere for another great analysis. I think her other song, Karma, links well with Vigilante Shit. I wonder sometimes how many times Taylor has proactively unleashed Karma upon those who have wronged her in the past. Kinda curious about that.

[@mendwithmere]

🤍

[@oheyseven]

I love your videos! You’re very insightful. I never thought to connect Mad Woman and Vigilante Shit, but now I totally see the connection. Thanks, Mere! 🖤

[@mendwithmere]

Welcome! Thanks for the support!!!

[@Satans_Niece]

literally squeaked when I saw the video :)

[@emrysbee9393]

hey mere! thank you for the consistent uploads, i love your vids :) when i watched the mad woman video i could completely see what you meant about them being sister songs. i love the parallels

[@mendwithmere]

Hi! Thanks for the love and I’m trying to keep them coming!

[@virginialiriano8001]

Thank you again for always sharing your wisdom, or what you think. I really like how you can see the things for many different ways. Every time is like if you were a source full of inspiration and intelligence for me. Pd: blue is your color, no matter the tone, blue everywhere❤❤🙏

Hey! Love to hear you are self-publishing - that is vigilante shit!!

[@mendwithmere]

Hahah hell yea it is!

[@AllyGirl-hg2sb]

that song better than revenge the line in the song she should keep in mind there is nothing I do better than revenge. Is what I immediately thought by the word revenge

[@mendwithmere]

Yesss!

[@laura.b.1989]

But, Mere, did you draw your eyeliner for this video sharp enough to kill a man? Because it looks fierce! Also the TMNT shoutout 😂❤

[@mendwithmere]

I did! 😉

[@maanimsalimi9349]

I see that you're interested in John Meyer and Taylor Swift's relationship. Did you know that Taylor confirmed the song "Ours" is about John? She confirmed it at speak now tour. Maybe you should do a reaction to Ours too

[@mendwithmere]

Yes! I love that song too

[@danny.sahne1]

I always try to see the lyrics through Taylor's eyes first, but I live that you can identify with the songs as well. That's what I missed in this video to be honest. (Still loved it and your content in general❤️) I think "ex wife" can also be translated to "people who distanced themselves from the villain". Like friends and family, because they now understand or even experienced the things you went through with them. Because of this message (in MY head) this is one of the many personal favorites for me. Knowing that I am not crazy, people will see it and karma has my back.

[@RowdyRuth]

Ladies simply had enough is so empowering 😊

[@sombrasultan5065]

I love all your reactions about taylor's songs. please reacts to "cowboy like me" or "coney island" from evermore. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@mendwithmere]

Yes! It’s on the list 🤍

[@joaolifesimulator3226]

Hi! I have a suggestion that I'd love to see you dissecting. That's about the "Preacher's Daughter" album by Ethel Cain because it is very narrative, being literally a story told through the songs and it's very about generational and religious trauma, toxic relationships and some very sad and heavy psychological topics. Though it's very different from Taylor songs, but maybe you would enjoy it!

[@mendwithmere]

Ooooo yes!

[@paigestroman5604]

I also think that revenge for Taylor is re-recording all of her songs. She's dressing up her songs again just for her...not for anyone else!

[@connermason8845]

Yay! I was anticipating this one ❤️

[@mendwithmere]

♥️♥️♥️

[@jessicawhittemoore7829]

There is lyric videos on her vevo channel for Folklore, Evermore, Carolina, re releases of Fearless, Red and newly released Midnights

It would be really interesting for you to have a listen to 30 by Adele, it’s a lot about divorce and I think she said it’s a letter to her son - would be great to get your take on it. Love from the UK ❤🇬🇧

[@allisonhunter1063]

Does this song conjure images of Princess Diana's Revenge dress for anybody else or just me? And the smile on Diana's face the entire night as a giant middle finger to Charles LOL

[@snowpillow6136]

This was a song that honestly was so factual but I was weak and blamed everyone else instead of my husband cheating. I ended it. Should have happened ages ago. this song and your understanding of it gives me hope that you can be honest true and sexy

[@melandloloveholo2519]

Love this song and your reaction to it! But can you please use Taylor's lyric videos in the future for reactions?

I interpreted the line "you did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them" as in, of all the bad things this person has done, what they did to her was the worst of all. I was wrong I guess!

I don’t honestly think she’s referencing “cocaine” when she says “He was doing lines” I think it’s about Kanye writing lines in his songs and then crossing all of hers
