THIS WAS 🔥 | RAP FAN REACTS TO TAYLOR SWIFT - READY FOR IT

[@RapItUp41]

What other stuff from Taylor should I react to? Let me know, love you guys

[@laurieadams579]

TS end game with future & ed Sheeran

[@RapItUp41]

@laurieadams579 hey, I actually did that one thanks. Hope you enjoy

[@dirkus3722]

The song is from her album 'reputation' from 2017. If you wanna have your mind blown, watch her perform it live in concert (at the original reputation stadium tour): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIKtkplsptZroLM

[@dirkus3722]

And then check out two additional 'reputation' live performances. Don't Blame Me kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6nNoJahm7-Wbck and Look What You Made Me Do kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4jLdXWXd7yfpMU

Watch this live with the intro

[@robertthompson7242]

lol Knox Hill called her "a battle rapper with a guitar" last year when he started looking at her music. . . .

[@darsynia]

I really hope he keeps reacting to her, his breakdown on what Kendrick was saying on their collab was some of the most enlightening things I've ever seen. I had NO idea how tight and jampacked all those references were. Great video OP btw!

[@UnholyKat]

The only weapon that broke the real Taylor out of her box, is when she finally used her voice and shouted

[@RapItUp41]

Nice, didn't even think of that. Of course that would be her ultimate weapon

[@abigailjohnson4270]

You have got to watch the live version of this from the Reputation Tour. It’s amazing. Best one.

[@aphrodite3580]

You need to watch: intro +Ready for it live from the Reputation stadium tour

[@RapItUp41]

@@aphrodite3580 reacted to it yesterday it will be uploaded later this week.

[@sstrobeltriangle]

Since rap is your thing, "Endgame" & "Bad Blood" would be worth reacting to. Welcome to the Swift community. Enjoy.

[@RapItUp41]

@@sstrobeltriangle yes I did those, enjoy

[@deborahhenderson3151]

There will be no explanation. There is only Reputation.

[@jodiraulsten426]

Burton to this Taylor refers to Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor’s relationship. Brilliant just FYI

[@mikepeca18]

You gotta react to the live reputation tour version of this. It's mind blowing.

[@talisman8402]

You picked up the right impression from this. Taylor in black represents the evil, manipulative, persona that her haters/media created and labeled her with to put her down (resulting from the Kanye/Kardashian nonsense) and that creature sets out here to destroy the true Taylor in white who is the real her inside.. sweet, kind, and pure. The real Taylor draws on her inner strength to defeat her bad reputation in the end. Classic good vs. evil confrontation.

[@RapItUp41]

I thought it was reversed til the end then it all clicked lol.

[@samanthamiller3314]

The person walking around was the version of her that had retreated into hiding for a year. During that year, her and Joe were isolated. I think she is warning him that they go public that the paparazzi will be really bad. But also letting him know that she can't stay locked up. So she is asking him are you ready for it but also saying I need to get back to my life.

[@imjakedeason]

white horse... her song

[@Violet316]

Great reaction, I subscribed for more Taylor content.

[@RapItUp41]

@Violet316 thanks so much for the sub. More content will be on the way for sure

[@youremymymymyLOVERRR]

the music video is basically, the taylor portrayed by the media holding the real taylor captive, and turning the real taylor into something she isnt she dissapeared for almost a year around 2016, and the song is basically asking herself if shes ready to face the media again

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

“No, I am not ready for it”! Lol This video is fire! Easy to watch multiple times!

[@RapItUp41]

I thought I was, but I was wrong lol.

[@P4-swiftie]

Great reaction on this video. Subscribed for more Taylor!

[@RapItUp41]

Thanks so much for the sub. I have more Taylor reactions on the channel so I hope you enjoy. I will continue reacting to her for sure, loving the journey

[@robertthompson7242]

Taylor's mom had hopes she'd be an equestrienne ---- until she was 12 yo and decided the guitar smelled better. She's still pretty comfortable on a horse. The white horse is frequently used for the hero in literature (cf: The Lone Ranger; the knight in shining armor). She's named one of her songs (Fearless album, 2008) White Horse in that sense of the (non) hero's symbol; and used white horses (and white deer) in her Blank Space video, which parodies the media image of her as a super rich and insane serial dater. Video has been compared to animé and some guys have said it reminds them of Descent II (? dunno, didn't play it). I worked retail; setting is pretty obviously an abandoned mall. The narrow corridors is what exists between shops for the service and delivery people. Joseph Kahn directed all her videos for 1989 and Reputation albums. Hint: she pays no attention to cost in her videos; like, ever. She always had top rank directors; and she's a fast learner. She's been producing/ storyboarding them a long time; in 2019 she started directing them too.

[@robertthompson7242]

There really isn't any wrong interpretations; if you get an impression, that's valid for you. She gets autobiographical in a lot of her music; but in 2010 she said she decides what emotion a song should evoke, and real life details are less important than the impression the song ought to leave; she will add details to make it more "real" to the listener, but a lot of that is her craft in songwriting. And, her videos are intrinsic to the songs. Some of her songs didn't get a lot of love --- until after the video dropped. She's about as creative visually as lyrically. The snake under her skin ---- Kim Kardashian dropped a social media comment about her on National Snake Day ( 2015? 2016?) that was all snake emojis; Kim dropped an edited phone call between Taylor and Kanye West. Taylor disputed the content and context of the call; Swift was crucified as a liar in social media. When you watch Reputation World Tour film, you'll see a lot of snakes. (and, eventually, the full phone call was released --- showing how much it was edited). On the tour (and on her live I Did Something Bad performance at the 2018 AMA awards) she had a huge inflatable cobra rise up behind the stage. She called it Karyn; maybe after the insufferable bigots people make videos about? ("Karens")

[@RapItUp41]

Yes I really love her videos as well. Also, Knox Hill is the one that I saw react to Taylor (my first time really hearing a song of hers), and I loved it so I started going down the rabbit hole too. I have not been disappointed so far.

[@robertthompson7242]

The Reputation album is the only album where the title isn't a song (after the debut, which was her name). A lot of the album concerns what people say about her (and she takes that persona to write some of the songs). If you do much Taylor, you might think about reputation and persona, and how what is said or repeated (or put out by a PR person for the label) is all fabricated. I saw the two Taylors not as "old" or "new," or "good" and "bad" ----- but as her way of showing that both images are artificial constructs. Or, maybe stages she's going through. It just crossed my mind, too, it's maybe a metaphor for her escaping Big Machine Records (the old label) which sort of boxed her in; she was a lot lighter hearted for the next album. (and, she drops Easter Eggs sometimes a couple years ahead of time.) This album completed her 6 album contract with BMR; and she bailed as soon as the Rep tour was over.

[@charbenz2768]

"End Game" with Future and Ed Sherran, she actually does rap.

[@JulieWeigand-e5t]

"Are you ready for it?"is a rhetorical question.

[@Bremen25]

And nobody really is

[@MeredithHagan]

It’s not always so close to rapping but Taylor is renowned for her songs’ bridges, that’s where her writing abilities really shine. I really recommend you at least listen to her song How Did It End (written about the same person as Ready For It, in fact), because while it isn’t rapping, it definitely has the some very strong rhyming and emotion.

[@RapItUp41]

Will do, I love all the songs I've heard so far even if she's not rapping, she's still saying very meaningful things.

[@janesisson1495]

Taylor writes produces and directs all her own stuff she is a mogul

[@amandabearss797]

Ghost in the Shell Taylor

[@RapItUp41]

Yes, thank you. I said Star Wars, but ghost in the shell definitely fits the vibe more. I knew this scenery reminded me of something, and all I could think of was Star Wars at the time, lol
