Yes, Taylor’s grandmother went to my high school in St. Charles, MO, and attended Lindenwood College. Taylor still has family in the area. Also, the singing you hear at the end is Marjorie. This song was a sleeper for me until I saw the Eras tour movie and really listened to the lyrics. I bawled my eyes out.

Aw, I’m in St Louis and didn’t know that connection! How cool! I remember when The Last Great American Dynasty came on the Eras tour and everybody in the theater screamed “St LOUIS!” It made me smile.

my mom went to lindenwood, it's crazy

I think that's what beautiful is that even though this is just an album deep cut song that Taylor is playing it on her tour. That means her grandmother still gets to sing and be heard all over the world. ❤

The lyric, “ I should've asked you questions I should've asked you how to be Asked you to write it down for me Should've kept every grocery store receipt 'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me Watched as you signed your name Marjorie All your closets of backlogged dreams And how you left them all to me” Gets me everytime. I lost both my grandparents one in my teens and my dad’s mom after I turned 30. This song makes me miss them so much and those lyrics really strike an undeniable cord in my heart.

"Every scrap of you would be taken from me..." it just 'hits different' after loss, doesn't it? My grandparents were literally my biggest supporters in anything I tried - and I have ADHD so I try a LOT... I was so thankful to them both, lost my Pa in 2003, and then my Nanna in 2019, there's always things I remember, that I can still hear and feel. certain words and sentences they always said to me... I never got to meet my Mum's parents, her mother died a month before I was born, and mum was still alone and Dad's parents basically became her parents... til the days they both passed. love we are given from the ones before us is just such a gift.

my partner shares the same birthday as my grandmother too who took me in when my mother wanted to put me up for adoption, she died when i was 12

I’m forever grateful to Marjorie. She’s the reason we have Taylor’s music now, I feel. She admired her grams so much that she wanted to grow up to be a performer too, and now all of our lives are better for it.

"I should have asked you questions, should have asked you how to be" makes me weep every time. I wish i had asked my grandma so much more about her life and how my dad was as a kid....., but you never know the things you'll wish you had asked

She looks so much like her Grandmother! There’s a presence there too. Oh! I love this

I was looking for this comment. She looks so much like her Grandmother. Both women are beautiful ❤

That high pitched singing in the background is Marjorie

My god Taylor is the spitting image of her!

This my grandmother’s name and this song always makes me cry.

My Uncle was murdered in KC in February and this song makes me really emotional. The, 'every scrap of you would be taken from me' part is exceptionally brutal.

Love this song . My grandma was my everything ❤️. My mom was so abusive i ended up in the hospital. Never had a dad . I spent ever weekend with my grandma till she passed away when i was 26. She taught me kindness, love, honor,honesty, empathy & so much more . ❤

That "cause every scrap of you'd be taken from me" line opens the floodgates every single time I heart it. Like I have so much stuff left from my mother, but nothing that is actually /her/ if that makes any sense... Every bit of the real her was taken away from me.

Taylor has a way of describing that feeling so perfectly

My mom's name was Marjorie and my daughter loves this song because it reminds her of her grandma. My mom was a singer, with one recording to her credit. She won a singing contest and the prize was to record two songs. Side 1 was called There Are Such Things and the flip side was her sorority song, The Girl of Sigma Beta.

She’s an opera singer, it’s those high notes at the end, ethereal. ❤

I CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR MARJORIE

WOW ❣️ The more I get to know her, she absolutely peaks my adoration. She's just a sparkling, bright star. Thanks AB AND AMANDA

What her video for wildest dreams. She wears a black wig in it and 1950s clothes and really resembles her grandmother in it.

Marjorie and her family also moved to Singapore and lived there what sounds like about 18 months; she performed with the Singapore opera while there! (This also means her mom lived in Singapore as a kid.) It goes a long way in explaining how Taylor became who she is ( vs who the GOP thought she was).

A very nice reaction, I love that you took the time to read and find out more about Taylor's grandmother.

One of my favorites from evermore😭🙏 great reaction!!

beautiful tribute song to her grandmother

I had never heard this song until shortly after my mom passed away unexpectedly. One of my faves now and I bawl every time I listen to it.

All good vibes here AB, seems you've discovered Taylors music because people are requesting it and you found you like it the same as billions of others do - thats an all around win 🎶 ❤️

This is one of my fav songs from the tour especially!

This is one of my favorites from her, and one of the most memorable moments of the show when I saw her! So beautiful, and everyone lights up their phones and waves them and sings along with her in memory, it was so touching.

Every scrap of you would be taken from me is what kills me everytime

I was taking a huge breath and fanning my face right when you said "we're gonna get through it." The collective feels we all have is why I think her music is valuable. It unites us in being human.

Apparently Justin vernon (Bon iver) is singing backing vocals which I didn’t know before now

Part of me is terrified to watch this one, because I lost 2 hearts in 2019, and then during COVID she came out with this... and one was MY Nanna, who was a musician... and I can listen to this for HOURS on repeat. and just feel and cry and its everything. i can't even pick the most... profound lyrics for me in this song... As soon as I saw it was on your list with "EMOTIONAL REACTION!" Thank you for sharing these.

My Dad died pretty suddenly in the beginning of 2022, and I barely got to say goodbye because I was so busy looking after everyone else and trying to ease the tensions. he and I were so close and damn Tay

I was okay till the last bit then I’m crying into my pillow I totally get these lyrics so beautiful ❤

You should see this live, it was a real tear-jerker at the Eras tour.

This song brings me to tears every time. ❤

Her grand mother was famouse in Puerto Rico opera singer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Whoa …. That one hits close to home ❤️

For a real tear jerker, listen to Ronan from her album Red.

I broke now when I saw a video of her singing this live, and she looked up to the sky with tears in her eyes she points up

Very good reaction video 👏

I heard this song for the first time a few weeks after my grandfather died and it destroyed me.. Such a great song.

All your closets of backlogged dreams and how you left them all to me. You slept on that line cuz the pressure of fulfilling your grandmas dream is intense!

It’s lovely. 😢

I never really loved this one until I watched the video. It’s so sad!

❤️

Marjorie's vocals in the background always destroy me...and the bridge...the bridge is just so beautiful but hurts so much.

I love this song. For me, I'd say my grandpa was the closer relationship - but regardless... wow. If I ever manage to have a child (or actually get a teaching job), I want to put the 'never...you forget...' lines up as part of the decorating scheme. so much truth.

Have you done Tolerate It via the era tour yet? Best!!!

Her grandmother was beautiful. Taylor looks like her

It’s her high notes (operatic voice)
