I think it’s really important to listen to Taylor’s music as a girl dad. She has lots of songs about different things obviously, but she writes so eloquently about the female experience and what it is to be a woman in a world that isn’t always the kindest to us. Listen to her songs through that lens and really take them in, and I truly believe your daughters will thank you for it as they grow up.

Ugh this song...the feels...it made me cry before kids and now my 4 and 5 year olds...emotional torture when this comes on.

“I can’t believe I’m crying to a Taylor Swift song!” Who’s going to tell him? You will cry to most of her songs if you get past the radio hits 😅

The fact that this is 100% self written and Taylor was only 18 or 19 years old when she wrote it just proves she’s has always been an amazing songwriter. She writes all her music but Speak Now album is 100% self written, her entire discography in my opinion is such a beautiful representation of her life but at the same time so relatable, and resonates with people. She’s an amazing, talented, singer, songwriter. storyteller, director, down to earth, beautiful human being ❤

she has another song called "the best day" thats about her mom and as a parent, i think you'd find that one really relatable / emotional as well!

You think you’re mad about crying to a TSwift song? Wait til someone asks for Ronan lol

As a fellow Girl Dad and now a Girl Grandfather, I've loved this song since 2010. It was the hardest thing in my life to let go of her, but we have the best relationship, she calls me every time she gets in her car to go somewhere, I get to go babysit my granddaughter every Tuesday. Daughters, man, they're the best!

As a mother, I cry every single time I hear this song. I used to sing it to my little ones (now 7 and 5) every night before bed. I saw Taylor in Kansas City a few weeks ago for the Eras Tour and this was one of my surprise songs. I held my daughter tight and sobbed the entire time. No shame for crying to Taylor. Won’t be the last time, probably.

Please don’t let any negative comments stop you from crying, sharing Jesus, and just being who God has created you to be! This Georgia grandma loves you and your precious family and keep you in my prayers!💕💕

I straight ugly cried to this 4 times the other day when hearing it again years later b/c now that I have children and feel at this time am at a crossroads about how I feel being adult missing my younger self and the innocence you have.

Contrary to popular belief, dude it is very normal to cry to Taylor swift songs. Shes written so many of the saddest songs ik, some I cant listen to at all just bc of how much they hit me. She writes so much more than just break up songs, infact there are many songs like these that hit so hard. Ronan is one of the songs I cant bring myself to listen to anymore, neither can I listen to Soon you'll get better. Some songs I do recommend tho are: -Best day -Seven -Innocent -Forever Winter -Last kiss -Safe and Sound -You're On You're Own Kid Some of my favourites at the moment and ig guess based on this video these may be some you'd like. But if you want to go really country in terms of Taylor Swift: -Mean -No body, no crime -I Bet You Think About Me -Pretty much anything from Fearless and her debut album is just pure country.

She is a word wizard. Her newer songs reference back to her old things. So much thought and planning into everything she does.

i cant imagine if you listen to "ronan" from red (taylor's version) album. ronan is a beautiful song about a mother who lost her son. it’s a real story.

The first few verses of this song were apparently inspired by Taylor's goddaughter. I think she was 18 or 19 then and these were all the feelings that came up. It comes full circle of her experiences after she grows up (although shes still probably a teenager at the time). This song is a tear jerker, and if you're a parent its probably gonna hit you even more cuz you may feel this way about your kids too...

I was a daddys girl. He refused to see me as an adult. I have a chronic illness and was diagnosed at 13. My dad asked me every morning how his his baby girl was. I was almost 30 when he passed. I was still his baby girl. He raised his daughters to be independent and be able to handle basics. Change a tire, check the oil. All that. But there wasnt one time that we called for help that he didnt show up. I love how much love you show for your little girls. Teach them to be independent and to think for themselves. But show up.

She is the sole writer on this whole album. She wrote this when she was only 18-20.

as a girl dad you have to listen to seven from her album folklore. Its honestly amazing and such an underrated song

Hi, I’m new here! Came for the Taylor Swift content, watching people become Swifties is one of my greatest joys. It never fails to blow people’s minds at how amazing she is. Even us Swifties after years of watching her, we’re all still mind blown at her talent.

I LOVED this reaction. As a mom of 2 girls and I heard this the first time at 13/14 and now at 27 it hits SO different 😭💜🫶🏻 Please PLEASE do more. The new Vault song Timeless is also a tear jerker for me! It’s a cute love song about love being timeless💜

Living for this rabbit hole! If you enjoyed this song I suggest The Best Day (Taylor’s version) she wrote it for her mom for Mother’s Day 🥲🤣

“Back to December”, “Dear John”, and “Mine” are all fan favorites from the album. Can’t go wrong with ANY of those, especially if you’re trying to get into her catalog.

@2.26, "I'm about to cry...on a Taylor Swift Song..get it together bro!" LMAO. I am pretty much just catching up with her discography too. I obviously know the hit singles- but these last couple of months...I am blown away!

Check out her live performance of Wildest Dreams at the Grammy Museum - it's just her and a guitar. Or, Out of the Woods from the same series. Fyi, Taylor has written every song on every one of her albums. With and without collaborators but the impetus is always from her - her experiences, her ideas, her lyrics, her music. How people contribute, if they do at all is helping her achieve the sound she's going for. Everyone in the business knows it's mostly Taylor. However, back when she was the youngest person to ever win a Grammy for Album of the Year for Fearless while she was still in high school many people refused to believe she was this talented. "There's no way an 18 year old pulled her weight in those writing sessions". To prove them wrong, she wrote her next album Speak Now alone. She is the only person credited with writing lyrics and music on all the songs. That's not to say she didn't have sound engineers and producers. She wrote Never Grow Up at 18 and it's on the Speak Now album. She is an incredible songwriter and storyteller. Her music has only gotten better and better. ALL her albums since Fearless were better. Honestly, they all deserved a Grammy. Speak Now was better than Fearless, and Red was better than Speak Now. She won several Grammies for 1989, including Album of the Year for the second time. Lover and Reputation were phenomenal. She won A of the Y for Folklore for the third time. Some people think Evermore was as good if not better. Midnights is more experimental. It's not my favourite but I still like it. Some people think it's some of her best work.

My daughter starts school in a week so this song hit harder than normal. Glad to see it hit another dad the same way .

as a Swiftie for over 8 years, I'm loving your vids and your honesty. thanks

I saw the thumbnail and literally chuckled and said “he’s f$&@ed”. 😂

I haven’t seen it said yet so: Taylor wrote this song when she moved out of her parents’ home for the first time, into her own place (hence the bridge) 😭❤️

This song, The Best Day, Ronan and Bigger Than The Whole Sky, are all songs that really speak to my maternal instincts. I just wanna bawl hearing them.

My granddaughter is a Swifty...you walked my country .. I'm going to try to go down this rabbit hole with you for the granddaughters. I just ugly cried.

Taylor is good at the feels. Based on this video you may appreciate a song called the Best Day (Taylor’s Version), a song she secretly wrote and recorded for her mother for Mother’s Day in 2008 and it went on her 2nd album, Fearless. its a lovely song praising the relationship she has with her mom.

As someone with a chronic illness, “Soon You’ll Get Better” hits me hard every time 😭

I hope you will continue checking out her music. Her storytelling and ability to make things relatable to all kinds of people is so impressive.

The lullaby i used for my youngest son. He is 10 now and i played him this a few days ago and he cried. I play it now and am filled with memories of him in the NICU with me singing this to him, wondering if he was even going to grow up 😢

50yo man watching this, never heard this song by TS. sobbing like a mf. this is ridicolously good song. gotta listen to speak now. only have 1989 and rep so far. which i dearly adore.

If you keep listening to Taylor Swift you'll get the best of country (the storytelling) + pop songs!! She's amazing in writing lyrics, Never Grow Up was one she wrote by herself when she was 18-20 yo (as the entire speak now album, originally released in 2010).

My mom just passed so this song tears me apart right now. This one and you’re on your own, kid. But you’re too new to the discography to try you’re on your own kid. It’s full of meaning that you’ll pick up as you listen to her more! If you listen now, the impact won’t be as strong! But good for you for admitting you have a hard time admitting your dislike is unwarranted. Takes guts! And welcome to the adventure that is Taylor Alison Swift. She’s the master of bridges, so start paying attention to her bridges!!!

Such a sweet song. Another similar one by Taylor is called “The Best Day” (and if Allie hasn’t heard this one she needs to!).

Love your reaction to this! More Taylor Swift reactions from you, hopefully. You're so genuine!

Ever since I had my little girl in 2021 I can't listen to this song without at least tearing up if not full blown bawling 🥲

I'm a huge fan of Taylor's country albums! She has so many good songs in this genre. I'm still a fan of the newer music, but the older stuff is definitely better in my opinion!

This album came out the year my son was born and I always go back to this song for some easy tears. 😆

appreciate your honesty and open mind. coming from a country music fan and a fan of Taylor's music, in my opinion what you said about country music ("I hated country music [...] it's a cool thing to dislike country") shared the same sentiments with people's opinions of Taylor in general.

Honestly this song should have gotten more popular than it did, it’s so beautiful, and you also ! I love that you said you’re a girl dad. You seem to me very honest. Best to you.

hey man, it’s only natural to cry to this song

You did this SO fast! Hahaha

i’m so happy you loved it! you should listen to the rest of Speak Now taylor’s version! (including the vault tracks)

Your comparison of Mary and Jesus was the sweetest thing I’ve heard…. And Taylor is an amazing human being as well as artist 🩷🩷🩷 Thank you for giving her a chance!

This song hits for people who are about to grow up, are growing up, have grown up and see others grow up in front of them, what a masterpiece

Listen to The Best Day, it’s so good and a song she wrote for her parents. ❤

Whoever submitted this knew you All Too Well. I think you might like Timeless, a new song from the vault on her Speak Now album. You may also like the Folklore or Evermore albums. It's hard for me to choose an album I like better, some days I find my spotify queue is full of Folklore, and other days it is full of Lover, or Midnights, or Reputation. They are definitely a mood.

Gonna need you to make this a series. Love your Taylor Reactions!

Another great one is The Best Day, which TS wrote for her mom. It’s beautiful.

I loved your reaction though. It's such a beautiful lullaby. I have only heard it once before this reaction and watching you feel exactly the emotions she is trying to evoke was just as beautiful to me. I love how art, (in the traditional sense of sketches, painting, sculpture AND architecture literature, theatre, music), can be interpreted in many ways. I watched a video from a few years ago in which she said that's exactly what she wants now. Previously during the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th albums, - especially with Red, (4th album), when "who is this diss track aimed at", and the rumours of her sexuality questions, were around it did seem to upset her, feeling she was being "slut shamed", and sent a message on social media asking fans to stop the rumours about her "dating her [female], friends". But now she simply says that she writes about her life which is never going to change, and although she knows who or what she is writing about, she now wants people to apply the songs to whatever the fans find relatable in them. That jumped into my mind, when you showed photos of your beautiful family. For me...circumstances unfortunately are different from my life goals, but I had a similar reaction as you did. Thanks for sharing your honest opinions and emotions. 🤗

Taylor is absolutely amazing, phenomenal song writer, story teller!! Only artist who has ever brought me to tears, and I get goosebumps all the time listening!!! It's fun watching you discover her many talents!

my kids have always sung this song for me. Kills me. Love this song so much

Hey, you must live near me! I have a similar family picture from the Saratoga Springs open house ❤ As a mom, this song makes my heart blissfully sad. You hit the nail on the head - I don’t want my kids to grow up and go through hard things - and yet, I DO because I know I’m raising future adults, not forever children. They don’t belong to me - they’re basically on loan from God… Parenthood is the best, hardest thing in the world. Thanks for sharing your reaction ❤

listen to soon you’ll get better, the best day, ronan, and you’re on your own, kid.😭 never grow up makes me cry every time too.

I'm the oldest child of 4, my baby brother is less than 2 weeks old, I've been singing this song for a while now to him, this hits so much different now, when the other two siblings that a have were born I was very young, but I'm an adult now and I know how hard and difficult life is, I just want to protect all three of them from any harm. I went to a very hard time with my mental health and my goal is make sure that they never go to the same dark place that I've been through.

This song really hits different when you have listened to it twice- Once as a kid when it came out, and sure it was sad but you were still little And now again... As a 21yo. Who did grow up and did get burned and scarred and have regrets. When I first listened to the rerecording of it when it came out I just cried so much. "Wish I'd never grown up, I don't want to grow up" Her line delivery on that is heartbreaking

more of taylor swift plsssss. i love how you appreciate her more as you keep reacting to her.

I always since this to my daughter and she always tells me she has to grow up so she can be a grown up someday and it breaks and fills my heart at the same time...

The vulnerability at the end and realization about the time passing... ❤ Hugs from a fellow parent to a little one.

Listen to her song “Ronin” OMG!!! It’s beautiful and devastating. Taylor had been following his mom’s medical blog. She had never met her at all, but she asked his mom if she could tell Ronin’s story. 🥺💔❤️

when she says “i wish i’d never grown up, i could still be little” i’ll start crying, that hits me so hard and her tone makes it harder to not cry

Please remember when it comes to TS... your wife is always right.

Try her first hit: “Teardrops On My Guitar” I’m not a fan of Taylor’s pop stuff…but her Country stuff from the early years in the industry are superb.

Haters don’t know how talented she is, it will grow on you, you just need to open up and listen to ALL her work which is gigantic for such a young individual. Such a talented songwriter, storyteller, musician, she is calling the shots when it comes to production, she is the one bringing the stuff to the producers when it’s usually the other way around. Unlike most pop stars she doesn’t have people writing songs for her or a team of 50 people behind her. She is the one choosing or not to do a collab and with whom and she is the leading lady of her own story

My girls are grown and I ball every time I hear this. It seems like yesterday they were little.

This song makes me cry every single time

I relate to your reaction on this. I'm a mother of five beautiful children, and our youngest is about to go off to college, so this one hits me hard. I cry every time! Hold on tight to those girls of yours. It's true what they say: it goes by so fast.

If you're okay with crying on this channel again, and open to feeling an overwhelming love for your mom would recommend listening to Best Day from her Fearless album, and Soon you'll get better from her Lover album

I cried to this as an older sister. This song has to be one of the most heart - felt songs - alhough honestly, so many are.

Love this so much!!! Great Reaction!!!

She has so many sad songs if u truely wanna cry listen to Ronan, soon you’ll get better, Marjorie and bigger than the whole sky…. Ronan I will say though can be a lot especially if you’re a parent…

I’ve not heard this song. As someone whose mom said this all the time, she also refused to show up how I needed her to. 5:30 glad to see you’re going a Different route

This song always makes me think of my little sister. When this song came out, my grandmother had just passed away and our parents were in the process of divorce, my mom had also just went through back surgery so I was 16 having to take care of my sister, who was 7 at the time. Every night when I would tuck her in bed I would sing this song. I love her so much and I just wanted to protect her from everything that was going on. She and I are both doing fine now. She starts college next week and I’m so so proud of her.

If you don't wanna tear up with this song you don't have a heart. Congrats!! You do!!

I don’t know if you have reviewed Taylor Swift’s “Carolina”, but you should. Taylor has top credits for the movie, “Where the Crawdads Sing” for the song Carolina. It is one of her best.

all songs from speak now album is written solely by taylor swift, she's insanely talented

I have just watched your reaction and in another video you have said that you spoke with your mom in Spanish. It’s not that famous but here in Uruguay we have a band called El Cuarteto de Nos and they have a song called no llora. The singer wrote it for his daughter.
