An awkward moment that I remember from the Lover secret session in London: There was a group of girls sitting on the floor chatting and Tree didn’t see them and almost fell over them. Tree said: “Oh, I’m sorry I almost stepped on you” and one them replied: “It’s OK, you can step on me”, and I cringed so hard watching this.

this video was so informative and entertaining. thank youu. i’ve personally never had the chance to attend a secret session but i think one of my biggest hesitations with it is being surrounded by psychos to be quite honest 😅 i’m a swiftie but the community can be extremely infuriating as most treat her like some god and also dump on others. i’m not pulling the whole “i’m not like other girls” card lol, but i’ve been attacked for so many of my taylor swift opinions that don’t even involve her - i’ll say something as simple as my thoughts on a song and next thing i know i get death threats 💀 so yes, this video was really refreshing and thanks for that! i just found your channel but i love the vibes you give off💕

As a Lover secret sessionners I totally recognize myself in your video😁 I also had the chance to meet Taylor before the SS and I find it surreal 1- I think that the problem of the contracts in the case of the Rep Secret Sessions was solved when it was Lover since we received the contract by email two / one week before the event 2- During my secret sessions Taylor said that SS was her favorite tradition 3- In Lover SS London most of the swifties were adults. But yes there were some pretty cringe moments. For example Tree almost stepped into one of the girls and she apologized and the swifties said to her: you can step on me🤡

I love TS, but considering how she is such a fighter for fairness in the industry, it is hypocritical to give contracts with no time to read them. This should have been sent in advance, and you are entitled to a copy of anything you sign.

[@rachelpaine8482]

If somebody was disabled and got invited to a secret session, do you think they’d be allowed to bring either a guardian/plus 1 because of that? I’m autistic and want to go to one someday, but I’m not sure how I would work out transportation/people staying with me because of the different rules and how they sometimes change and what not. I do remember watching the official session video and saw a girl in a wheelchair there, so I’m sure they would make exceptions just as long as you informed them ahead of time?

[@theswiftologist]

hey Rachel! yep I'm sure they would definitely allow that in this circumstance :) they ask when you're invited if there's any accommodations they need to make for you and I'd presume that would be totally fine based on how nice they were in general

God I hope she picks older fans next time. I would love to be at a secret session (never gonna happen cause I have no clout and never will) and like Jesus Christ at least since folklore her music and focus has been so much more mature, to continue to engage with 12 year olds is bizarre and probably really not fun for her…I’m shocked she had to explain Dress to a room full of 13-14 year olds like YALL CANNOT POSSIBLY APPRECIATE the subject matter….maybe I’m being too mean but god.

[@madamxilant17]

The trick of making you feel close to her is a "rich thing" trick, I have worked for many wealthy families and to make you care or buy into their wants and dreams, they need you to feel a false feeling of ownership to channel your energy into the projection. And a sales technique is to keep notes on your clients, so you can easily converse and make it seem more personal.

[@crystalkadletc1944]

This is true. My boyfriend has a rich aunt. And I just met her last week and ended up leaving with a purse and a painting because I complimented them. Never experienced this in my life!

I am 24 years old and have been a swiftie since I was 11, I have been trying so hard to get noticed by Taylor on twitter or tik tok but it is so impossible the older you get and the more you aren't as focused on that type of stuff, and can't get invites from Taylor Nation because of it.

[@stardolphin783]

I love this and ur takes but i still dont think the secret sessions is a marketing strategy, (as an intentional thing) even in part. though maybe thats what you meant. It seems like not worth it from a marketing sense, intentionally at least. Sure its fan service, but a lot more easier fan services could easily keep her relevant. Sure, she can exhibit business like behaviour in them, mostly dedicated swifties know about this, and i honestly believe she does these things because its genuinely rewarding for her, like from the start. She seems like she loves people, and meeting them, it honestly feels like creating another plus to being so famous, as it gets REALLY lonely really fast having so many fans that you just see as a face in an ocean of stadiums, i think.. Thats not to say marketing strategies are shallow, but this is honestly an extremely high cost operation logistically and incredibly risky despite the security, theres always a risk something will happen to leak things yk? I feel the added pressure for me ever getting invited is that ur in her house and for me its like ur in the snakes nest even though shes really nice it feels so jarring, like, i view her like i would like, say a teacher at my school, so if im at my house i imagine it would feel similar to like "wtf why the fuck am i at my teachers house lmao" who knows i might just accept the absurdity and be like oh shit im going to ur house?

[@Silly_illyia]

I understand where you're coming from! But New Year's Day is an emotional song at least in my opinion. Rep is a very important and precious album to me. Songs started being released shortly before my dad's passing and then after my 13th birthday rolled around and my mom had surprised me with tickets to LA night 2! I've been listening to her since I was 6 years old and her music has carried me through so many pivotal moments in my life! And this era really connected with me where I was then. Grieving the loss of my dad as well as dealing with a handful of other trauma's and burdens. And when I first listened to New Year's Day it brought me to tears (definitely not hysterically sobbing though lol). The song feels very reminiscent to me. As if lovingly looking back onto precious memories with someone you didn't end up having forever with. And because of that and the impactful time the album was released it always strikes a very strong chord in my heart! 🫶🏻

Wait omg literally same! That song helped me sooo much when my mom died. You put that perfectly in this comment. Great to see someone that feels like me abt New Years Day..

The thought of getting a message but not being able to pay and feeling like you just missed out on a once in a lifetime thing like that would devastate me. Idk, just doesn't seem fair.

[@nataliaf.6289]

I would like a secret session where I would sit down with taylor and play her songs while I explain what they mean to me one by one and she comments back on my life and help me with my problems, is that possible????

[@aloneinmidnight]

how did the SS compare to your other meet and greets? i didn't know that you got to speak to her for that long (20 minutes!!! :o) i don't even know what i would talk to her about for that long lmfao did you feel awkward or was she talking prompting you or what. insanity

[@theswiftologist]

honestly it was kind of a blur but yeah it felt very natural and she prompted with the stuff she knew about me and we talked a lot about the album/how it compares to her other stuff. m&g for pre-show on the red tour was quite short bc I was super overwhelmed, got more time in loft 89

[@stardolphin783]

This is intresting to knoe this is actually a lot of work amd she honestly doesnt need to do this but she does

[@DoveCalderwood]

Do you think she'll do Secret Sessions for Midnights, given that she seems to want to make it more of a "normal" era?

[@alanlovisi6501]

Great video!!! I always wanted to know these details and this video is like a dream haha I'm from Brazil and every secret session that had happen i was always so sad that i would never be able to go :( also, we're the same age, so i imagine how the "new swifties" were extra hahaha thank you for all the details!

[@girlsgenerationtaylorsversion]

he really changed the thumbnail like 5 times 😂

[@theswiftologist]

And what about it

[@girlsgenerationtaylorsversion]

@@theswiftologist nothing, we stan a perfectionist 🙌

[@shannon_9897]

So well_spoken and polite love u and your channel so glad to see another great Swiftie on KZbin 🎈❣️

[@viktoravarkonyi4570]

I love her music but this is giving ✨️cult vibes✨️

[@warrencaelum9536]

so is any kind of fandom but what are you gonna do about it?

[@heather830]

OH HEY

[@theswiftologist]

HEATHER!!!!

[@aubrey8954]

i doubt you’re still replying to comments on this vid haha but i’m so curious to know how in depth the song descriptions were? did she actually name drop kim/kanye/calvin etc and who/what situation the song was about or was it more like general her idea and how she made the song

[@jmallnhismonkeysidekick6347]

I feel bad for whoever asked if new years day was the crying song LOL

[@highperformer5532]

Even to hear about your experience was overwhelming. Wow! Can you remember the best Taylor's joke during the session?

[@ClauPrentt]

Thanks for sharing this experience! I live in Argentina and i buy the first line ticket for her show in Brazil, but covid happen. (Still sad about it). And, anyways, i been in USA a lot of times because my sister lives there and i always think there is a change that i may be able to meet her, just because iam in the same country as her hahaha. I completely get it when you said that as you get older the feeling of meeting with her change, like i know i would loose my mind but i will try to act chill because she is been so devoted at doing this sessions for so long, and even knowing that yes, at the end is a marketing moves ( thought, i thinks it as been evolving into that, but at first i have no doubt that it was a genuine propose of meeting us), the true is that she dont have to do it anymore. We, the ones that have been for her since we were little and over the years keep choosing her as an artist, woman model and business woman role model; we will keep doing it no matter what. Like she totally as earn that special place in our hearts and minds. So, i just want to thank you for let us all knowing that even if you get older there ir a change to meet her hahaha. Have a nice day!

[@horrorfanatic1734]

Oh this is gonna be so juicy, I honestly CANT wait! Most honest and sane and my favorite swiftie!!

[@TheAnaceciliadmmm]

I am a mom, só obviously that is my point of view as a mom ans a True crime fan 😂😂😂. Imagine if someone using a similar Taylor Nation account DM d u.... like criminal ppl. Ppl traffickers. And of course for taylor s security u were not supposed to know the way to her place or place at that moment and inform like a hundred ppl. They take your Phone. Soooo.... Just saying. If u were to be trafficked u would have no communication. Because how were u a 100% sure that the people that took u by car and got ur Phone were Taylor Nation crew? Please don t Block me for bringing a neurotic mom worry to your channel 😢❤ i love your work

[@elidagjika8741]

As a socially awkward person,no thank you

[@apitt926]

Wait I might've missed this but did TN provide transportation for you from the airport to the hotel? or did you need to do that yourself

[@apitt926]

also follow-up question I don't know if Apple Watches were a thing at this time but were you allowed to wear those or did security take them? Imagine getting your fitbit taken away lmao

[@anapesic4194]

This is the best thing to watch after my exams. Timing king! ❤

[@theswiftologist]

happy to help!

[@sknight2810]

I always wonder if.. fans attempt to go back to her house like.. privately. Bc they know the address, dont they?

[@RyanStorey1231]

Probably not, considering that the bus drives them around in circles so that they won't know what the address is.

[@austin3082]

The way I was shaking before he finished that sentence "we are watching your social medias, we will take you out-" 😅😅

[@juniperus.w]

We need a ‚how to meet Taylor‘! New follower here!

[@nataliaf.6289]

Seems a surreal experience, dancing and talking with taylor! Cant even imagine!

[@Stellamarie_7]

Why do I still feel left out when I was literally like 8 when this happened

[@peterpaul9644]

You said you shouldn’t quote her directly and you did so many times haha

[@belengarcia-rivas5903]

This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing with all this detail! Probably would’ve been those annoying swifties to be honest LOL but that’s okay 😂

[@theswiftologist]

opportunity cost hahaha

[@georgiapeachakastacy4330]

I know this video is a year old but I loved it. It just popped up in my stream ❤ I am an older Swiftie …(56 on Mother’s Day) I have always wondered about the secret sessions, so thank you for spilling the tea. I know that you can’t spill it all but I appreciate that you spilled what you could ❤

[@shannon_9897]

Literally the most well_spoken person i've known.

[@enas7547]

"I'm not like other swifties." Yeah that's mean but i'm here for it.

[@BoogieBott]

This honestly from an outsider non-swofty perspective sounds like some type of horror movie shit. How vague & brief everything was... I'd assume for sure it's a scam. Sounds like you'll go....and never come back 🤯

[@BoogieBott]

Like does it not ESPECIALLY weird anyone else these were MINORS...

[@imjustgoofy09]

It's giving The Devil in Me plot

[@alexisparks7127]

I was at Nashville SS too and underage at the time. They told me I wasn’t allowed two photographs (even though everyone else underage got two). My mom was an absolute angel and stood back and let me have my moment/get my picture. I still feel bad cause she was/still is sad about it. But anyways, definitely interesting to listen to your experience and compare it to what I can still remember and haven’t blocked out from adrenaline 😂

[@dhairyarami1374]

i already know this gonna be so good! JUST SPILL ALL THE TEAA!!

[@jennypurple7]

Omg I feel like I was there with this thorough video 😍

[@johnmininger7472]

I'm glad this showed up on my on my recommended. My daughter has been a swiftie for probably a decade now, so I take an interest. I enjoyed hearing about some of the details of this experience from your perspective. The lengths they go to organize this is understandable. There is a lot to admire about her, and I also know that is not a life I would want. I am amazed, given her celebrity and all the demands on her, she is still able to stay creative and relatively "normal", lol. I wonder how her life has changed from back then ... she was huge then ... and now her celebrity is stratospheric. I wonder what she thinks about it when she has a moment to reflect ... if she even gets private moments like that anymore.

[@edensylvester13]

32:28 did she name names? (Kim, Kanye, Calvin, Joe etc)

[@twothousandandchew]

it’s so great how many precautions are taken to protect taylor

[@olivialoconte4167]

I’d die to meet taylor and just say hi to her for 5 seconds

[@regresaperry]

19:30 she was hinting gold rush all along damn

[@Bekind94]

Im 47. My 17 year old got me into Taylor. I was a reluctant swiftie. But here I am.

[@hannahh.3695]

This was so fun to watch. Thanks for the insight.
