{THIS BRIDGE ENDED ME!} TAYLOR SWIFT ft BON IVER "EXILE" FIRST REACTION!

[@texasseastar]

Exile is a lyrical masterpiece sung to perfection. 10/10 no notes. It's damn near impossible to have a favorite Taylor song but Exile gets me every time.

[@ToneyReactions]

It's up there every time I try to make a list!

[@michelle6337]

Agreed. I get chills every time the bridge kicks in with that first "So step right out". Such a great song.

[@mayab3370]

I've listened to exile hundreds of times at this point, and the vocals still give me chills and make me tear up from time to time.

[@texasseastar]

@@mayab3370 same!!

[@marb5110]

Def my favorite.

[@Tilly311]

This is the song that made be a Swiftie! Oh still makes me cry!

[@ToneyReactions]

understandable!

[@hris9214]

This song should hv won the Best Duet in Grammys 🥲 so, so hauntingly beautiful

[@TjC_3124]

I love this song as well and listen to it daily. I also listened to Lover live on SNL...wow Newer swiftie here...long time Chiefs/Kelce fan ❤💛

[@chelsiewaite1606]

100%

[@ayiswift]

Definitely. Lady Gaga and Ariana won yes it was well deserved but Exile was the one that deserved in terms of a whole concept, vocal, instrumentation every single damn thing! One of the most beautiful duets ever recorded imho

[@skippystarz9167]

Hands down, the best male breakdown of this song.....Ladies this one gets it!!!!

[@gjh9299]

gotta see the long pond studios version see the musicians and Taylor playing and singing

I second the Long Pond Studios version.

Sooo good

These are Joe songs. The three you were mentioning or I think so 😂

[@vidsorama2]

Once again you are King of interpreting the lyrics of a Taylor song. I enjoyed every second of your reaction. Thank you. I love the song "Exile". Taylor and Justin Vernon are magical when they collab.

[@ToneyReactions]

Thank you!!!

[@PWH59]

I love watching people listen to and appreciate Taylor’s craft. She’s so much more than the media gives her credit for as a musician and a person. Seeing how thoroughly and articulately men can be in their appreciation of her music and messaging gives me hope for love in these trying times. This is why women say being a Taylor supporter is a green flag, it shows your emotional maturity and your efficacy in communicating. If a man is playing you for stupid in basic communication and mutual respect, take the sign and bounce. Men are not dumb nor incapable of being nurturing partners. The gorgeous man in this video is a sign that good men are out there and they’re capable of love.

[@ToneyReactions]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🥹

[@JenBriSeth]

This song is KILLER, isn't it? Just breaks my heart. I'm enjoying the way you parse these out.

[@ToneyReactions]

That bridge is something to behold lol

[@Ashley-ci8xf]

It’s literally 2 perspectives of why a relationship ended and what the other did wrong and it’s just a beautiful argument 😭🤣 it encapsulates the feelings from You’re Losing Me and tolerate it like her story telling is unreal. It’s crazy she connects sooo many songs but can be interpreted as different relationships as well. It’s genius.

[@ToneyReactions]

Love it!!!

[@bethm5791]

Long pond studio sessions with them together is elite. They sounded gorgeous together. Even if you just listen for you. Long pond studio sessions as a whole are an elite way to best folklore.

[@zimmy_love]

I’ve never seen someone pick up on so much with one go at the song. Incredible reaction & look forward to more!

[@addiegabriel9333]

Exile is one of my all time favorites of hers. Their voices together are perfection. And this song is just devastating.

[@melissawilder-en8ox]

What is so ironic is that her and Joe wrote this song together along with Justin Vernon and now it applies to her & Joe.

[@Jellytoppers]

I love this song so much, it so well captures two people seeing the relationship so differently. Great reaction!

[@ToneyReactions]

Loved that bridge

[@susanr4663]

I have seen a lot of these reviews on this song, and I really like how you interpreted this. You actually listened to the story. Thank you

[@ToneyReactions]

@@susanr4663 thank you!! It's the story she's able to tell through her lyrics that adds to her mystic for me

[@Fleeting_moments.09x]

I really appreciate that you understand that when Taylor says “you never learned to read my mind” and “I gave so many signs” it doesn’t mean that she’s playing games, and only ever dropping hints, and not being clear about how she feels. A lot of people who react say that you shouldn’t expect someone to read your mind or understand your signs… but it’s not as easy as that. Like you said, he never took the time to learn her, and that makes a world of difference in a relationship. Because yes we should be clear about how we feel and not play games, but relationships are so nuanced and tricky to navigate, and we as humans put out feelers before jumping in abruptly to hard topics. Also, the narrator might be realizing retrospectively how many signs there were that the relationship was failing. We’re not always conscientious of changes as they are happening, but if the mood and daily vibe of their interactions started to shift in the relationship he should have started to catch on like she did that something wasn’t working. I just hate when other reactors act like girls shouldn’t expect people to read your mind.. that’s only a figure of speech that really means you haven’t taken the time to learn my intricacies.

[@carolinagirl7596]

Your interpretation of this song was excellent and so on point. I love this song. Great reaction.

[@npats550]

I think it's a little too harsh on the one side. He's the one who's talking about crying. I love the back and forth, but for me, I think of how the construction of it is showing as well as telling us, just how much miscommunication there was. In the way that sometimes the lines are overlapping- like in a conversation or argument when you interrupt each other, while you try to get your point out first. The silent treatment and unrealistic "you never learned to read my mind". Nobody can read another person's mind. I see this section of the song as being actually a silent conversation, because of where they are- out in town. I can really picture 😉 a music video to this, where it is just evening, people out and about, restaurants and bars etc, honing in on the characters with the singing as voice-over, and switching to each one during the verses, and with the bridge especially, flitting from one to another, in really tight shots, and the facial expressions, eye movements are just a fraction off each other- mirroring miscommunication and showing that a relationship is about 2 people. It may not be anyone's fault, or a relationship between two people who speak completely different (and not necessarily "bad"), love language. Just my interpretation.
