WOW | Taylor Swift - loml (Official Lyric Video) | (REACTION!!!)

[@eliezerdelacruz5340]

Someone did say that Taylor is basically a rapper with a guitar.

[@alisong826]

And this song is such a diss track. PLEASE Check out Chappell Roan!!

[@akashvalsan6609]

Her cadence and schemes 👍🏻

[@katem6114]

@@akashvalsan6609So effortless too.

[@Ashley-lz9jh]

I think that’s why she’s my favourite musician. It’s kind of a unique trait in modern pop, she takes the best of every genre and sticks it together

[@neontyler6663]

and with a Quill Pen

[@JenniferDomitrovits-xu9df]

You were right, “loml” typically means “love of my life”. She flipped it. 😊

[@anonyymi1005]

And the fact that Taylor never sings the words "love of my life" in the song. She says "love of your life" which acronyms would then be "loyl". Don't want to come off as rude, just wanted everybody to know😄

[@bawin384]

flipping and changing the meaning of commonly used phrases is so taylor swift! like the way she mixes layman sayings with poetic devices is why she's a genius!

[@magnesiumswift]

It also means loss of my life

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

lol i get half a point 😂😭

[@christinameneses]

I just realized she foreshadowed the flip by referencing "plot twists." 🤯

[@alisong826]

Shes said in interviews she loves to flip common phrases and this is great example. Her wordplay is up there with the best rappers imo

[@pandabearbutts2482]

And get love quick scheme, instead of get rich quick

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

She is defo an amazing writer her pen stands out as..... rn having lyrics, entendre and flips etc is a lost art form

[@rachelmcknight1470]

And she flipped the coward/lion line after the cinephile scheme. SO dope.

[@emmavink]

And guess which band with he who shall not be named has made two black and white music videos 🤔 hint, he's known for his Jehova's Witness suit and tie 😂 She ripped ratty Matty AGAIN 👏👏👏

[@randystalnaker6700]

Omg...my opinion is that this is one of the most beautiful and saddest songs she ever wrote 😢 thanks for reacting to it.

[@fixlana]

I absolutely agree

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

ty for watching my reaction friends 🫶🏾

[@angieh1858]

100% agree and nobody will ever convince me that it's not a sister song to You're Losing me

[@LovecraftianGodsKiller]

@@angieh1858 "loml" is 100% a sister song, or better yet a sequel, to You're Losing Me. You're Losing Me is in my opinion still her saddest song but this EASILY takes second place.

[@revive_memes275]

“The way she flips her lyrics, the way a rapper would.” I can’t tell you how much I agree with that, and thank you so much for saying that. It’s so true and I wish more non-Swifties would realize it. Taylor’s lyrics and music are universal to everyone…her ability to reach beyond is astounding.

[@Violet316]

Taylor has been compared to a battle rapper. Loml is typically love of my love, but in proper Taylor fashion she flips it. Great reaction.

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

ty friend

[@jillwelton71]

This is the official lyric video-so Taylor’s team produced it. Everything Taylor does is intentional and her lyric videos are no exception!✨

[@juanjeanjohnful]

Taylor writing bars after bars, per usual ❤

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

💯 big facts

[@JRay.R]

The lyrical parallels between “Still alive, killing time at the cemetery. Never quite buried”. …and… “In my defense I have none, for diggin up the grave another time”. …? Ow.

[@emmavink]

Hm... She uses grave imagery consistently for different exes. Like she speaks about "dead and gone and buried" in All Too Well (10 min). She suggests in So Long London that The 1 was ultimately how she now feels about Joe. But loml is about Ratty Matty, so I'm not sure I'd make the connection between the two songs just from the grave imagery. Also, after Smallest Man, she does not want Healy back and she also doesn't wish anything good for the man loml is about. While So Long London and The 1 she does wish the guy Happiness (yes, intentional reference 😭) for his future.

[@alohasargent]

@@emmavink But she wrote The 1 in 2020 -- before her and Joe broke up and before she ever even got back with Matty. So, some speculate that The 1 was her thinking (in 2020) about how she lost Matty back in 2014. It's not how she feels now, it's how she felt in 2020.

[@emmavink]

@@alohasargent um... Ok... But that doesn't change the fact that she literally says "the one" in So Long London... She also didn't "have" or "lose" Matty in 2014. It was always referred to as an almost...until he shanked her in the heart when they did finally actually get together in 2023.

[@alohasargent]

@@emmavink I see it differently after listening to TTPD. The album suggests they had been pining for each other for a decade. But I think it's powerful that all of us, as listeners, have different interpretations of the songs and muses.

[@emmavink]

@@alohasargent.... I mean... You are conflating tabloid gossip with what Taylor herself is actually saying on TTPD. He didn't "pine for her" for a decade. He was out doing whatever he wanted with whoever he wanted to. She literally says on Peter that it was much easier for him because she was the one waiting and never knowing. In fact... I can't think of one line from TTPD that suggests that he did anything other than pounce on when she was at her lowest point with Joe, start flirting with her because it was sexy that she was with someone else and they weren't supposed to be doing....and then proceeded to do all the other lovebombing-drugs-cheating-ghosting-denying thing we know he eventually did do to her. She pined. Yes. He didn't give a fk. He was the conman-coward-sleeper cell spy-criminal-fkboi who didn't plan to actually be with her for one second of the time he was ruining every single relationship she had since 2014 and making sure that she couldn't go back to Joe even if she wanted to. People get very lovey dovey about the first part of that song. The whole point is that that first part wat the lie that Ratty Matty sold Taylor on. Both in 2014 and in 2023. That's why loml is such a brutal song lyrically. She literally says "should've let it stayed buried"... She wishes she hadn't fell for his lies. She's ashamed and embarrassed that she did. She tells us so explicitly 😢

[@SpaceyStacy333]

It is interesting to me that she calls him a cinephile, a lover of movies, then begins to describe his personality in movie terms, plot twists and dynamite. Then she creates verses using movies, Wizard of Oz and Field of Dreams. Very well executed!

[@angieh1858]

She's a mastermind

[@biancatrindade9001]

When he said "love of my life" I was already oooo boy, he doesn't know what to expect 🤭❤️‍🩹

[@taramimidis2794]

I watched just to see how he reacted to the real meaning lol

[@alikarol3]

"Oh what a valiant roar. What a bland goodbye...." is my favorite, it just hits 😢

[@sulathenewfie4277]

Yes! That line is soooo powerful.

[@texasseastar]

even with a lyric video - everything is intentional - nothing is accidental. loml is brutal!

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

💯💯💯

[@vanessaolea4545]

I’ve said it on ThatSingerReactions and I’ll say it here. I’ll NEVER skip a rap fan’s reaction to Taylor. Y’all just get her lyrics like no one else ❤

[@jessicamahoney4610]

You cannot change people. People show us who they are, its our job to believe them.

[@texasseastar]

yes, loml is typically "love" but here it is "loss". If you go back, the guy was love bombing her saying she was the LOVE of HIS life. After all his crap she then says he was the LOSS of HERS. Yes, Tay will often invoke literature or film and totally flip the script. Listen to Peter from TTPD and you hear the threads of Peter Pan. Cardigan from folklore also has references to Peter Pan. She will make those links across songs or sometimes across albums. Her pen game is mind-blowing.

[@emmavink]

Exactly. He isn't the loss of her life because she loved him the most. He's the loss of her life because he promised the most the fastest and most convincingly and took the most from her 😭😭😭😭

[@alygtr3]

How Did It End, please! It’s bridge is, just chefs kiss 🤌🏼😘

[@Turnermama]

We were all fooled with the loss of my life 😊😢

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

😂😭 I was like oh shizz I got it (first try) and bam she flipped it 🤣

[@NinjaBooKitty]

Her music videos are epic, but even the lyric videos are specifically designed and directed. Everything is Taylor's vision.

[@keybugwill]

I feel every word of that song. I think a lot of us have been there where we completely fell for someone we thought or hoped was the one but it turned out they weren’t & were devastated by the loss.

[@hey_cass]

I will forever point to this song as one of the most all-encompassing examples of Taylor's songwriting ability. She just gets better with every album and it's hard to comprehend that 17 years into her career she keeps flooring us with her talent. Super glad you enjoyed this!

[@richmaxmchalliwchester1984]

Taylor is a fan of all genres and she really likes rap, i think when she was young she said she´s a big fan of Eminem and also covered his songs on her early tours. She´s also fan of Kendrick Lamar. I think it´s really interesting when an artists learns from different genres, even those that have nothing to do with them.

[@nataliebrown9414]

She never said love of my life, did say you said I was the love of your life!! She's a magician with words!! Im new to the Swiftie Era and loving it!!

[@SwiftieSteph302]

All too well walked so loml could run

[@iteachlit]

11:25 “loml” has always been psycho stood for “love of my life” until this song.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

When she writes poetry and puts it to music…it’s everything! Great reaction!

[@emmurrenauthor]

That’s why she just used the letters. She was leading us from one meaning to the other. She is brilliant that way.

[@samanthasanchez8550]

Lion reference also has multiple meanings, there is a Lion on the London crest. 👀😭🫶 she has triple and quadruple meanings for lots of her writing. Her PEN is WILD 👏✌️♥️

[@odenb5]

Listen to Maroon!! The “bars” will floor you

[@dianafaustina]

I've been saying for years that her writing style is very similar to Eminem's. She does a lot of doubles and rhymes words that a lot of people can't even think of. She also does internal rhymes when she wants to (she does it a lot more in folklore and evermore, but it's prevalent throughout her entire catalogue).

[@heathercochrane2207]

TTPD is amazing, but the Anthology is my favorite. Who else is able to combine Greek mythology and their Kardashian beef in the same song?(Cassandra on Anthology)

[@deaditeera]

We were all wrong! 😂 The last line of the song was like a gut punch It’s like when a twist happens at the very end of a movie 😮

[@deaditeera]

It’s lyrics like these that I think about whenever a hater says she writes immature songs for kids, bc it’s songs like this, albums like TTPD that is more proof of how wrong they are

[@Yephimł]

This song really is a masterpiece. We can say it quite often with Taylor, but this truly is a masterpiece about love, loss, and everything in between. I think most of us can relate in one way or another with the lyrics. Unfortunately for me... I was the coward. I'll have to rightfully live with that forever.❤

[@emmavink]

Yeah, but this song isn't about just a person who let someone they loved go. It's about a toxic narcissist (Healy) that hunted vulnerable prey using promises and lies, then used and discarded them (Taylor). She didn't love him the most. He took the most from her.

[@thewanderingorphan]

You got my subscribe. I love how closely you pay attention to tone, lyrics, the irony, all of it. It's all about lyrics and the sentimentality of it for me, bc we've all been there. ❤

[@tamarawyatt9360]

People text loml as love of my life. In the song it’s Loss of my life.

[@AstroBaby91]

She is a great writer.

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

💯💯💯

[@SummerWilliams-v3p]

You weren’t wrong at all. It stands for them both. She’s everything.

[@cdnmrspolitics]

I truly appreciate how much reverence is said right here, she's like the Mozart (melodies) & Shakespeare (lyrics) of modern days. She's truly a gem and I "get" it. Happy you get it too. :)

[@sk100281]

Love this reaction

[@kaylaneckel3512]

Exactly - you’re always only half right

[@melisabuckley2873]

In my opinion these last two albums have the top four out of five best songs in her whole discography 1. All Too Well 2. loml 3 The Prohecy 4.The Black Dog and at 5 Who's Afraid of Little Old Me

[@angieh1858]

This song is a masterpiece

[@laurawilkins1577]

This song and How Did It End are the full on crying songs for me.

[@eliannalizeth9870]

Her songs really are poetry ❤

[@Kelly-i4j]

It usually stands for love of my life and of course she flips it

[@Kahh-oi6dm]

loml actually stands for love of my life but this GENIUS called taylor swift just stabbed our hearts flipping the meaning😭😭😭😭

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

LOML is my favorite song off TTPD, and already my most listened to song of the year on Apple Music. (Down Bad is a close 2nd ;)) it’s hauntingly beautiful, and the lyrics are masterful.

the fact that she didn’t even say “you’re the love of MY life” at the beginning but she just quoted him saying that😢

Don't feel bad, she is a genius and does these tricks all the time. She never says "love of my life" through the whole song. She repeats "love of your life" and then the song title is the very last line of this masterpiece

[@angiedemoncada2603]

Taylor has rapper bars, but she sings them slow enough for everyone (me) to hear them😀

[@cray5167]

She never says love of my life. She says love of Your life, so loml is definitely loss of my life

[@angeljaceherondale]

"You lowdown boy" = "London boy"

She never says love of MY life it’s always love of YOUR life . but def play on words

[@Kelly-i4j]

Everything is intentional

[@micaelakedhammar5066]

Oh shit it didn't fully click with the Wizard of Oz-symbolism for me until now; it wasn't hard to associate the cowardly lion, but the "field of dreams" could also refer to the poppy field where the wicked witch makes them fall asleep. In the movie they are woken by Glinda with snow (I don't remember if that detail differs from the book), and that makes the fire feel even more sinsiter

[@anneh654]

Hi. I just discovered your channel and really like your Taylor reactions. I would love to see you react to Would‘ve Could’ve Should’ve. It‘s a follow up of Dear John.

[@sonicAndHedgehog]

I did something bad live from rep tour pleaseee 🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶

[@rebeccatucker2763]

I think the valiant roar and bland goodbye is related to the fact it was a rekindled relationship (waltzing back into rekindled flames, in the cemetery never buried/should've let it stay buried): it roared back to life, with him claiming he was changed and/or brave enough to handle it (coward claimed he was a lion -- makes that a double meaning of the word roar), but then it just ended without much fanfare or drama (I'll never leave, never mind) so it was disappointing/bland. If that's even close, then it's so impressive how many layers are baked into each lyric choice she makes across lines!

[@evilieeemia7779]

I thought it was a reference to "The Wizard of Oz", because she also talks about "Field of Dreams" & that he's a cinophile.

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

Prob a double entendre

[@kimberlyritchey7641]

Loss of my life

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

💯💯💯

[@NinjaBooKitty]

No shade, but everyone keeps comparing her to rappers because of her writing, when really, it's all poetry, and these are long established poetic devices that have been around for centuries. Rap calls them something different, and quite frankly, usually incorrectly. What rappers are calling schemes are actually motifs, meaning the structure uses language and imagery all related to the theme (Taylor uses religious motifs for example in several songs). A scheme is a pattern of similar sounding words at the ends (or sometimes the middles) of the lines. I rarely listen to rap reaction channels for this very reason. All the misinformation being spread as knowledge is irritating.

[@daypeanut4406]

Or, you're glossing over colonialism. I think both cultures and truths can exist at the same time, because they were forcefully separate for a long time.

[@rhapsody98]

The "Bland Goodbye" was Matty Healy ghosting her.

[@Brandi2281]

Have you listened to any Chappell Roan? She is DEFINITELY someone you should check out if not. Literally pick any song from her album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”. It is front to back 🤌🤌🤌
