This is a part of a sort of trilogy of Taylor's songs regarding the fickleness of female fame: The Lucky One, Nothing New, Clara Bow. Such a beautiful song.

I love how dark and somber this one sounds, the beat of her poetic lyrics matching with the rhythm of the song is so pleasing. The strings taking over the guitar on the second verse is such a great touch. Thanks for the react and quick guitar demo! 😁✌️

Every 50 years rotation. Going from 1920’s to 2020’s.

Please don’t come for me bc I’m not trying to get in a fight out here in these KZread streets 😂 - but it always cracks me up how people (usually guy musicians) who review her music somehow simultaneously give her credit but then say things like, “man, whoever did that chord progression or whoever did that riff, or whoever thought to use that synth really made amped this whole song up!” insinuating that’s why the song is clever or good. Well… She did that? It was her. She wrote and produced the song alone with Aaron Dessner. Like - the “whoever” was her. Collaboration but also… bruh it was her

“I think I’d die if I made it”. It’s an expression. I’d die if this happened so if they made it big. If they got their chance

He misses a lot of points in everything he reacts to lyrically, i hope it's so that it makes people comment lol. But I think he just doesn't think very deeply and doesn't really care about lyrics at all, he just thinks they are interesting, cool or weird. I like his thoughts on production though.

She’s also picked like a rose which does if you pick it

This is my favorite song by far from TTPD. Absolutely gorgeous arrangement, powerful and emotional lyrics, and just an overall beautiful composition. Over the years I have seen many memes people have created comparing Taylor to Stevie Nicks, saying Stevie is so much more mature/dark/deep/edgy than Taylor. I have commented on them saying well actually, Stevie and Taylor are friends and fans of one another. I LOVE that Stevie wrote a poem for Taylor that is included in the packaging/liner notes of this album. Stevie has previously publicly thanked Taylor for her song “You’re On Your Own Kid” from Midnights. She said it helped her through the grieving process when her best friend and Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie died. This song perfectly depicts and illustrates how society pits women against each other by comparing them, saying one’s “better” than the other, etc. I just love Taylor so much and how she can make the listener feel and emote. Brilliant song, brilliant album, brilliant artist. She is definitely dazzling! Love your review! 🥰❤️🎶⭐️

I think Aaron Dessner might be behind the guitar part on this one

My favorite song on TTPD hands down. The simple electric guitar in the background hooked me immediately and the lyrics took me on a whole journey regarding historical “it” girls and the fickleness of fame and how there’s always a new, younger, edgier it girl who will take over at some point. The comparisons and backhanded compliments never end for us women. “Beauty is a beast that roars, down on all fours, demanding more” … when I tell you I gasped at that line, sheesh.

I can’t wait to see your reactions to the second half of the album! As someone who loves music but doesn’t really have any technical knowledge it’s been so interesting to hear your commentary on the production of the songs!!

I love how I always hear the things he points out after I watch his reactions, it's like an expanded version of the songs I already loved!

im glad you love aaron’s riff.

You need to do the second half of the double album. Wait until you hear Black Dog. Hands down the best song.

Love that TTPD brought me to your reactions! I enjoy learning, from your comments, on the production elements!

Love your reaction, as always, Jacob. Thank you so much.

Absolutely enjoying it.

I would love a reaction Perrie Edward’s “Forget about us”, its her solo debut song and there’s a live version too on her channel.

Amazing how you can just pick up the guitar and play after listening to a melody once!

Great song... If I am going to 🤡 it will be on this track. She uses the word dazzling. MCU #130 the dazzler character appears and I don't know a better person to have a cameo in deadpool 3

Jumping in the clown car to throw in: "Flesh and blood among war machines." War Machine is of course Rhodey in the Iron Man comics. Probably totally not relevant, but it's the first thing I thought at that lyric 😂

also react to The Anthology

Last song on original half.

When can we expect some new Kygo reactions? 😃

React to zayn's new singer alienated live perfomance its REAL GOOD

"My small town" Cmon she's from the jet, not her small town anymore..

Made it famous…

You really missed a lot of the lyrics. You missed the shout out to Stevie Nick's.

He mostly pays attention and explains the production. He also did mention Stevie nicks in his explanation at the end. If you want a whole lyric breakdown there’s tons of other channels that do that, this is primarily focused on production with little bits of lyrics mixed in
