WHAT IS TAYLOR'S SECRET?!?! | Taylor Swift - don't blame me # live reputation tour Reaction

[@StephanieHealy-wh9cn]

She has her own band and most of them have been with her through her whole career.

[@morrigan_fayre3778]

Yep most of her band has been with her since she was 16

[@kimmiller2232]

Yup till this day !!! ❤

[@BeersBars]

That's awesome!

[@joditurner6748]

Same with her backup singers. She has one new band member who plays a keyboard, I believe. Also, the song was written about her, and then a long-time boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. They broke up in early 2023. Reputation, Lover, Midnights, Folklore, and Evermore. He cowrote a few songs and won a Grammy with her.

[@Rachel-1D]

Yeah the guitar guy who looks like Tom Cruise😂🎉

[@Ktcsr17]

Paul the guitarist and Amos her bassist have been with her since she was about 15 or so. A couple of the backup singers as well have been with her on multiple tours! She is very loyal to those who are loyal to her! I admire that about her very much

[@BeersBars]

Yup admirable trait for sure!

[@TrevenantNights]

she gave them $100k EACH in bonuses last year

[@LK-lz6lk]

​@@TrevenantNights I thot that's amt the truck drivers got -?? Surely she'd give her band more considering they perform with her for 3.5 every show (100+ shows alrdy & still counting.) She makes like 4 mil/show - everybody on stage should've got bigger bonuses imo.

[@kbb5448]

@@LK-lz6lkshe gave out $55 mil in bonuses. Truck driver bonuses accounted for $5 mil of that. The amounts paid to band, singers, dancers, crew/techs was undisclosed, but that leaves $50 mil to be distributed. I’m sure they got a very handsome bonus, don’t worry.

[@madelinewise8692]

She treats her band and backup singers well - like family. She pays them well and they respect her so they've been with her for almost all of her career

[@TaterCot]

The way her band and back-up singer sing her praises if very telling of what kind of person she is. They all have nothing but wonderful things to say about Taylor. The crew as well. She is a billionaire who realizes that those who work for her contributed to her success and, as such, deserve to share in it.

[@xmgmaxx]

Really? Well idk why ppl hate her.. dogs are smarter than haters

[@NicoleDeri]

Also provides health insurance for her people!

[@yara5502]

Since you asked about her band, Yes, it is her band, she calles them "The Agency" and they are: AMOS - base, has been with her since the beginning, before she even headlined a tour PAUL - guitarr since the beginning, same as Amos MIKE - Banjo, guitarr, keybord & vocals- since before her first tour "Fearless" , joined around 2008 David - keybords, musical director since before her second tour "Speak Now", joined around 2010 Matt- drums since before her 3rd tour "Red", joined around 2012 3 of her backup vocalists, also called the "The starlights" have been with her before "RED" tour too, joined around 2012

[@missypyxi]

I had no idea. What a testament to her character!

[@ladybirdrose]

This is the info I needed bless you 😍

[@gdhaney136]

Her band is awesome and has been with her for like 15+ years. Even more impressive to me is that she can play all of those instruments herself.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

Taylor took me to church with the sound of this song! Loved it!

[@thedrunksaiyan2227]

I wasn't really a Taylor Swift fan until recently, but I think she's the best live performer on the planet. I would love to see one of her shows live and I'm an almost 50 year old man

[@fedup1650]

I'm a 65 year old man, following her for the last 10 year, and I've been to the Eras tour and it was just unbelievable. I have never seen something like it and I have seen countless (big) artists on tour since the 70's. It leaves you in a state of shock and completely amazed as she delivers non stop for 3 hours and 15 minutes that you feel is too short, craving for more. And the crowd is just so much fun to be with. I took my daughter and now she's a swiftie like me !

[@jeanieg.5859]

Wondering if you ever got to see her in concert?? ❤🎉

[@megandelynn6114]

Her band is called The Agency & most have been with her since her first tour. The vocalists are called The Starlights & have been with her about a decade. The person who coordinates the massive amount of trucks had worked with her for the last 4 tours (Red, 1989, Rep & Eras) & I could go on. Taylor pays very well, over & above what the label will pay (including $55 million in bonuses to every single person that contributed to the US leg of the Eras Tour! The truckers received $100K hand delivered by Tays Dad with personal, handwritten notes from Taylor!) She inspires loyalty & is apparently awesome to work with & for & you won't find anything bad said about her by anyone who's worked with her, from her staff to other celebrities!

[@IvyCowboy]

This song was about her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. But Taylor has said herself that songs take on different meanings to her once they go out into the world. Also, yes - most of her band, her backup singers, and dancers have been with her for 17 years. As far as albums go, I think you'd probably enjoy Midnights or Reputation more than 1989 (a re-recording of her hit album from 2014). For live performances, I suggest a couple acoustic performances - Cornelia Street & Death By a Thousand Cuts Live in Paris. Another MUST-SEE is Vigilante Shit from the Eras Tour movie. Where is Jamie when we need her???. ;)

[@randystalnaker6700]

Absolutely!!!!

[@Yephimł]

This song gives me chills EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!🖤🐍

[@clumsymisslittle]

"I would fall from grace just to touch your face" you guys you didn't give her enough credit for this one masterpiece of a line😭😭😭

[@sml24157]

It’s think it’s important to note that a lot of the songs on reputation are also written through the eyes of the media. The media says a lot of things about her, they’re not necessarily true but they directly affect her reputation. She holds too many grudges, she dates too many men, she plays with hearts, she’s obsessive, she airs too much dirty laundry… So while the songs are about her and her life, she is playing them up to be this crazed love monster that the media thinks she is.

[@k-popprincess416]

There are 105,002 people in the audience at this show

[@Violet316]

What you saw was the re-recorded 1989, and now she owns the rights to it. The ones she has re-recorded are called Taylor's Versions, she has done 4 and has 2 more to go and then she will own the rights to her music.

[@thereallucyv]

thiss is 100% not true? this song is live... from the reputation album... which has nor been re-recorded yet as of feb 2024??

[@thomasina_0]

This comment is in reference to him saying he saw a "remastered" 1989 album in the store. Im assuming the original poster was trying to educate them on the significance of "Taylors Version"​@@thereallucyv

[@thinedge]

We Swifties struggle to keep up with Taylor's total slayage! She's the GOAT!!!. Taylor is her own muse and she's not afraid to follow wherever the spirit leads her. Genres fall at her feet. We're just going to have to accept that Taylor IS her own genre. It's not pop, not Country, not Rock anymore. It's Taylor Music. It's amazing that she can write songs in such a wide variety of styles and we still recognize it as Taylor Music. It's so distinctive. As Liz Rose said "No one but Taylor can write a Taylor Swift song."

[@user-to2sc3cm6m]

Band and backup singers have mostly been with her for a very long time. A few members for all 17/18 years. I think one of her biggest differentiators is that she seems to go full blown method actor with her different genres. Like she's done country, pure pop, pop with a rap/RnB influence, very folksy/indie, you name it. There are a ton of amazing artists out there. There are a lot of singer/songwriters out there. But she's one of the only ones I can think of who changes her sound and style so completely. She seems to really throw herself into the complete character of the tone of the album. Next: depends what you want to see. Live--I love Cornelia Street live from Paris. Or Death By a Thousand Cuts also from the Paris show. Just her and a guitar. Very in touch with the song and the crowd.

[@MikkiHjalmquist]

Take me to Church, Taylor!!!

[@emmaschultz1020]

This performance is SO impressive but it’s nothing compared to what she does on the Eras Tour ❤ SWIFTIE HERE AND I JUST SUBSCRIBED!! Great reaction!

[@BeersBars]

Welcome to the Buzz Fam ✌️🍻

[@lorenaheller7896]

Taylor swift has written the soundtrack of our lives ( all her fans ) !

[@dianafaustina]

She's had the same band since the beginning (some joined during the Fearless era in 2008, when she had her first tour). I do know that one of her guitarists, Paul Sidoti, has been with her since before debut, so about 20+ years now.

[@Havivamauri]

I saw the song chosen for reaction and almost fainted yaaaay🎉❤The Church sound to it adds to the idea of her obsession and unexplainable worship of this guy which in long pond she explains was on purpose 🤩 False God live version is REALLY good too comparison love to religious fixation and its Jazzy with a whole lotta saxophone

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

Thank you for rolling it back when you stop the video. I was super frustrated with you when you stopped it, because so many reactors don't seem to realize the build they are pausing on is a horrible place to stop the video, then they go ahead and play it and it's ruined for everyone, because the momentum is lost. I had to realize that we all know this song, you don't, and you did pull it back a few seconds, so thank you. This is an amazing performance- the dress was beautiful, the crown was fire, Netflix knew what they were doing, and this was the last concert of the US leg. The editing was great as well. Era's is fire, as well, and she just announced her new album at the Grammy's, and we are expecting RepTV, maybe Tokyo? Maybe not, but that and Debut are surely done, she is just waiting...... The woman never rests. She is raising the GDP of the Superbowl- the advertisers are gearing their ads to the fanbase, and the sellers that are selling merch AT the Superbowl are gearing their merch to her as well. She is putting butts in seats that wouldn't be there otherwise at more than $10,000 a seat, and selling NFL merch, and concessions, and will donate to whatever else, just because she happens to be in Vegas.

[@annietrahan7322]

She’s been doing this since she was a little girl. I think that has a lot to do with why she’s so comfortable on stage and her band. Most of them have been with her since she was a kid.

[@jeniferpayne7944]

Taylor is so relatable, period. i am 48, married 25 years in a few weeks, and this song sums up my feelings for my husband. I am like twice her age, lol

[@terryturkington1293]

She also provides health insurance for them too!

[@milagroslluisma3153]

I like the song that says “ Are you ready for it”

[@lorenaheller7896]

She’s not only a poet she’s also a theater 😂

[@MegR1999]

She is LOYAL to her band, dancers, crew, logistics, etc. She pays and rewards well those that have been a part of her overall success. They have great relationships, and I have yet to find a credible source where any employee speaks poorly of her. She is amazing.

[@couldbahappychic1217]

It's not a secret she works hard and is good to people and that's all you really need to be successful

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Her band name is called, “The Agency”.

[@AstroBaby91]

This is a great perfomance

[@tambij]

She has her own band, Backup singers & dancers 👯‍♀️. Her band is Epic!! Must watch “Vigilante Shit”. It’s on Reputation Stadium Tour also. She writes all her own music 🎶

[@Lively_Ash]

Such a fantastic performance!!💛💛🫶🫶

[@TraceyM-mj5vg]

She also writes songs in a way that it's relatable to anyone

[@KukLuv]

Taylor is a living Legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

[@marlanadiana]

Oh my gosh I have been waiting for yall to drop another taylor reaction!! Please do more!!

[@kristentitus4946]

My favorite song. She gives me chills everytime.

[@Sharon-yn8xg]

Love you guys reactions. The Reputation album is great!!

[@cristineramos7558]

The rock version of "we are never getting back together" from 1989 tour are amazing...hope u tried that next.

[@SwiftieSteph302]

My favorite performance by her!

[@anijamgyal9470]

In addition to all the layers you mentioned (like who is she talking to), Taylor also addressing her reputation on this tour. One of the things people said about her in the press was she gets obsessed and crazy about her boyfriends. So she takes in an insult and returns with a great song saying yup, love makes me crazy. It's kinda tongue in cheek.

[@sarawillis4071]

I would LOVE to see you guys do a reaction to Vigilante Shit live from the Eras Tour!!

[@bradliehallbauer9225]

1989 (Taylor’s version) is her pop album. Taylor’s version means it’s re-recorded for her to own it. That would be so much fun!

[@tvil8]

Yes do the taylors version deluxe if u do 1989. 4 of the 5 vault tracks really elevate the album, and u can skip bad blood with no feature and replace it with the Kendrick Lamar feature version

[@Charli1996]

U have to do 1989! One of her best albums. Not remastered but totally redone to get ownership of her masters. We call them Taylor’s Version(TV) so they come with bonus tracks that have never been released b4

[@Sugarhicups_11]

Having the back up band makes it WAY more intense.

[@Violet316]

Great reaction, thank you.

[@Sharon-yn8xg]

My fave album of hers is Reputation. It has some of her more recent mature songs on it as well as a great back story

[@Reema-tz9ek]

I think part of taylor success is her team they all Been with her since she was 15 she treat them good and they are great always on her side with everything going on

[@mirrorball0423]

the best performance

[@kellyclark7919]

She amazing

[@gjh9299]

she writes all of her own music and even if its about something that happened long ago she can pull from her memories, she was at the first year of her longest relationship with Joe Alwyn an English actor he hated publicity they spent covid locked down together but after he hid them when they went out and didnt mention her name in interviews

[@krystalkelly153]

Yes! An album review of 1989 would be amazing :)

[@JesseMadrigal-q4z]

No this her band that has been with her since she started. When she left country music she had to let go of a few members because she didn't need all of them anymore.

[@antuanbeard6090]

I stopped in my tracks when I saw this !!!!!!!! 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 yeah yall picked correctly !!!!!!

[@TiffanyGarten-yg7zz]

1989 is pop perfection! React to her out of the woods 1989 tour performance

[@sandragriffey4869]

❤❤❤❤❤LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

[@mirrorball0423]

FINALLYYYYYY

[@Popgoesthejennie]

She is on a league of her own and it would be hard to recommend what to listen to next. She’s done everything. I think maybe getting to know her history is important before continuing. With the whole Scooter Braun, Kim and Kanye West incident and understanding who the songs maybe about makes a BIG difference. I would say if you want the more country innocent picture listen to Taylor Swift and Fearless. Those are her high school days and her start to fame. Speak now, my childhood favorite, is her country/pop transition and her first concert to put theatrics. She has cheesy songs, like Speak Now and mean, but also gut wrenching ones like Last Kiss and Long Live. Red is a glass case of emotions. From start to end it’s an emotional journey. Yalls already heard ATW but it has lots of other bangers. 1989 is her first escape to New York freedom and adulthood. It’s considered to be the Pop bible with all the hits that came from it. My favorite song is Clean and her vault tracks are *chef’s kiss Reputation. Wow what can I say about Rep. Rep was robbed of album of the year, is my ride or die, and is one of the most successful tours ever. You’ve seen the best performances but as a whole it’s deeply misunderstood and is expected to be her next re-record. Lover is her first album she owned completely and was sadly not popular because COVID hit right when she was going to start tour. I’m okay with this album, it’s a bit too pop for me, but her lyrics are on another level. Folklore/evermore are her pandemic sister albums and I’d say go watch the Long Pong Studio session. Understand there are stories being told and really deep, mature concepts going on. I’d say new people become fans because her songs in these albums are personal yet could be told in so many different perspectives. Many songs connect or explain other songs. Not pop at all, much more indie. You might get emotional with them but there is a reason Folklore did win album of the year. Last, as of now, is midnights which is her return to pop. The beats hit different with this album and some of the lyrics make ya gasp (would’ve, could’ve, should’ve). Shout out to Marroon cause I love that song and the Eras Vigilante Shit dance! All in all, I know it’s long, but it’s a journey no one has ever regretted. Enjoy falling in love or at least having deep respect for Taylor and make sure to listen to Taylor’s Version if ya hearing the albums!!!!

[@Swiftiemom75]

These songs from reputation was when she started dating Joe Alwyn (who she was with for 6 years)

[@PeaceIsWork]

She gave 55mil bounces to her band and people including truck drivers each took 100k this just for the first half of the Eras Tour

[@filthwitch]

There are so many good Taylor Songs imo UGH. I went and left a like on all of these reactions 'cause I would love to see y'all do more. I would recommend: 1. Blank Space [Music Video] 2. Anti-hero [Music Video] 3. Teardrops on My Guitar (Oldie but a goodie.)

[@antuanbeard6090]

Take it from a black swiftie …. For this channel I would strongly recommend yall react to Reputation first…. It’s more hip hop / urban / ….. opposed to 1989 which is FULLY POP!! Just a strong suggestion. Let Reputation be the start of y’all journey.

[@33bella]

Her band for a long time

[@angieposton8377]

You guys need to watch and comment on Vigilante shit. Love the video and live video. Love to see your reaction to this one.

Watch her latest Eras tour do that song, plus the intro 🔥🔥

[@antuanbeard6090]

If you think this sold out stadium is something you should see her shows present day…. Her performing to 90,000+ people with 20,000 people screaming in the parking lot. Insane!! I was there!! Ears ringing. Voice gone.

Of all the songs on reputation, this is not the one I would have picked for a review. Every time the bassline drops on look what you made me do, my heart stops for a minute.

[@antuanbeard6090]

Now it’s time to react to her ERAS TOUR!!!!!!! Plz!!

[@michellestephenson-webb3175]

Idk who this is about all I know is this song was Written by Swift and her producers were Max Martin and Shellback also her current man is going to the Super Bowl against my besties team the 49ers

[@Violet316]

It is about Joe Alwyn English actor (Gorgeous, making fun of the way he talked, his British accent), she met him just around time. Right around all the Kanye West and Kim snake business. He was with her from Reputation to Midnights, 5 albums.

[@amandagoodtime7751]

She has her own band !!!!! Joe Jonas is who she is singing about !!!!!!

[@java2guava]

For something a bit different but just as brilliant, I recommend watching the music video for “The Man” and then watching the behind the scenes (there’s 3 BTS vids). I think y'all would really like this one :)

[@deaditeera]

lol she was talking about her most current ex he’s a British actor named Joe Alwyn They dated for 6 years

[@addiegabriel9333]

Definitely spin 1989 (Taylor’s Version). She re-recorded it approx. a decade after it came out so she can own the masters. It’s a great pop album!

[@joankisloski6972]

The song is rumored to be about her ex boyfriend Joe Alwyn, others believe that this song is about the media's perception of her.

[@Swiftiemom75]

Some members in her band have been with her since the beginning. The band and her back up singers are like family to her and have been with her forever.

[@adamwassim9666]

yess pls check 1989 the remastered its a pop perfection

[@Violet316]

Re-recorded

[@RandomRita424]

Diggin yall! If chance compare this to her redo of this song on Eras Tour. It's even better IMO. And you can combine it with "Look what you made me do" that immediately follows it on Eras Tour clip. Then VIGILANTE SHIT live from it also. I am not fully a swifty...... Most of the songs from my playlist from Best albums 1989, Reputation, & Midnights. You will like them most IMO.

[@minamiichikawa6088]

OMG you SHOULD... 1989 is a pop bible. Deluxe version one please...

[@Rise2theTopAdam4ever]

Today? I'm on the bandwagon that her fans are now her 'drug' and the 'don't blame me' is her evolution into the other genres she's exploring.

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

Honestly, you should start with Midnights and go backwards, I enjoy that journey :)

[@noelbivens8074]

She has had the same bad for the most part since she was a under 18 at least Paul the guy with the totally 80’s hair has been with her since she was like 16
