"Are they second-hand embarrassed that I can't get out of bed because something counterfeit is dead" - Man, those are some brutally brilliant lyrics. It's a great song, but yes, so sad.

It’s so sad because the whole song you think loml means “love” of my life when she means it to be “loss” of my life. It hits you right in the gut at the end.

I just realized that this song starts with "waltzing back into rekindled flames" and end's with a "field of dreams engulfed in flames" and he's the arson... 🤯

Agreed. Low key, message in a bottle from the extended Red album is super good too. Or So High School off TTPD … Or any song off 1989 😂

'She really loved this guy and he was just a shithead' made me laugh 😂

I really think this is her saddest song but it’s so beautiful that I simply cannot skip it even though I cry every single time! Bigger than the whole sky is one that I can’t often listen to as it’s so heartbreaking. Love your reactions and appreciation of a different kind of music!

I think you should listen to "How Did It End?" the bridge gets me everytime. It's really sad.

At some point you must listen to all too well 10 minute version. An absolute masterpiece!! There’s a short film as well but I’d recommend just listening first (lyric video is great) as I think the short film can be distracting if listening to the song for the first time. It’s about Jake Gyllenhaal who she dated when she was 20 and he was 29. The song was part of Red (about 5 mins) but she mentioned in an interview that the song was originally 10 minutes long and ever since the fans were desperate to hear the full version. When she did Red Taylor’s version she blessed us with the 10 minute version. Think you’d enjoy it!

Yess! Definitely do that one

Yeah, the second hand embarrassed line is 🔥

Turn up your volume a little. The saddest song Taylor ever wrote is "Ronan" about a little boy named Ronan Thompson who died from cancer just before his 4th birthday. Taylor had been following Mya Thompson's blog, and Taylor felt the need to write a song about Ronan. Taylor called Mya, but she had to leave a message, needless to say, the family was stunned that Taylor called her. Taylor gave her writing credits and the proceeds go to cancer research for children. It is a beautiful song, but I advise you to have a tissue available. It is on Red Taylor's Version and has a slide-show video.

Fair warning, Ronan is not an entry-level TS song. Even die-hard Swifties who are all in for the heartbreak I know can't listen without crying. May be best listened to further along on the Taylor journey.

You would definitely love evermore album.

The Black Dog is one of my faves from this album. It's slow too but it's perfect. Hits hard.

You would very much enjoy "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" from the 1989 Tour. Its a rock version of the super-popular bubble-gum song and sounds completely different and hits hard. Taylor plays a distorted Fender lead throughout. Its bad-ass, especially for those of us who grew up on bass-guitar1-guitar2-drums bands. Its a great performance.

My favourite things about your reactions too, you take it seriously

great reaction! Some Taylor songs that I love watching people react to are Tolerate It, Champagne Problems, New Year’s Day, End Game (specifically the music video), August, and Maroon. just to name a few 😂 also recommend the official lyric videos when reacting, I feel like they always add a nice visual

This one is definitely one of those that stabs you in the heart, but I think “Hoax” tops it for me. “Ronan,” “Soon You’ll Get Better” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” make me cry every time. “Exile” and “My Tears Ricochet” will do it to you, too.

Gosh this makes me cry. Also - almost every Taylor song has an official lyric video and the visuals are so amazing so you should react to those instead of googling lyrics ! enjoying your journey !

I like them all lol, but would love to see a reaction to The Prophecy🙂

If you want to see some of her best lives check out her City of Lover Concert in Paris. The official videos for Cornelia Street, Daylight and Death By A Thousand Cuts are some of her best live performances in my opinion. (Might be dethroned by her recent performance of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me at the Eras tour this weekend)

I think you just need the microphone closer to you. The music was way up (didn’t mind it’s one of my favorites) just to hear your reaction. The Anthology is just genius writing all the way through. The Prophecy, thanK you aIMee, the black Dog. I’m currently in love with the album so in an hour my list will change. 😂

I love seeing the shared experience of everyone who reacts to this song being just completely stun locked. Exactly how I felt. It really is so good but it hits like a punch to the gut if you follow along with what she’s said here.

i love watching people who aren't generally taylor fans reacting to her music. you totally have a new sub. you should try reacting to some harry styles, if you haven't yet!

The thing about the songs on TTPD is that they ARE like poems, you can't get the theme or message from just a line or two, you really need to take the songs in larger chunks, like a verse at a time, minimum. I adore the, but it's a kind of lyricism that's not common in music these days. Edit; One of my favourites is "Story of Us" :D

defiantly "but daddy i love him" next!

Can't wait to heard your comment about The Albatross, it's one of my favorite on TTPD.

Love your videos, you should listen to ‘don’t blame me’ and the transition into ‘look what you made me do’ from the eras tour movie (on Disney+) !!

PS: all but like 4 of the 31 songs are ab 1 man (Matty Healy) 💔

Best song on the album

My favorite song is Drift Away by Dobie Gray. There are many versions of this song from Rascal Flats , Uncle Cracker, etc. And Dobie was not the original artist, but his version was the one that extensive radio play in the 1970s and it still soothes my soul.

With how much you connect to the music and melody I'd love to see you do Down Bad from TTPD. Also, Dear John live from the Speak Now tour. For non-TS song requests, Work Song by Hozier, Choreomania or The End of Love by Florence and the Machine, Bii Biyelgee by The Hu, Soul by Matchbox Twenty.

So I've just gone down the rabbit hole of all your videos. You're doing such a great job! I came in here just to comment my favorite song as you suggested. My favorite on ttpd is The Black Dog. It's short, but also very sad. You should definitely check it out. And keep creating content!! I've shared your videos on a few fb swiftie groups. I really hope you blow up! Keep up the awesome work!! 😁🫶🖤🩶🤎🤍

I think you would really enjoy Folklore and Evermore - you should listen to “August” it’s phenomenal! Something non - TS that I’ve been really into is some songs from Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter - bodyguard, Levi jeans with post Malone, ya ya - it somehow sounds nostalgic and new at the same time. Love the reactions!

Hi! I'm loving your videos. I would love if you listen to some songs from Louta, an Argentinian musician who was the opening act for The Eras Tour when Taylor came to Argentina. He played a total of 8 songs, all excelent, but I think you would particularly enjoy Uacho, La forma de tus huesos, Amame and Ayer te vi. Louta comes from a theathrical background, and his shows have a lot of staging. I hope you give it a chance!

Please react to the black dog , the 1 and this is me trying

try tolerate it!

This one is a tear jerker. Has me in TEARS every time i listen to it 😭😭 This one I believe is about Matty Healy I have a theory that He is her twin flame, so anytime Twin Flame (rekindled Flame or Twin or magnetic force/attraction its Possibly him, willow/Cardigan Down Bad are him. Imaginary string too. Its all just a theory but can go on and on. I can also show how they spoke to each other through their music for the last decade. This was a very painful breakup for her, it wasn't just a fortnight that they've been in love. What really messed things up is the fans trying to dictate who she dates. You hear this in "but daddy I love Him" oh a taylor one to listen to next: either "Invisible String" (lover) or "Mastermind" (midnights) or "but daddy I love Him" (TTPD) A 1975 One to listen to next (well the music video) : "I'm in love with you" (keep in mind, it's about Taylor) (Then when you listen to Cardigan you will get "black lipstick, sequin smile")

@@yara5502 sorry invisible string, I was up for like 40 hours when I wrote that. I don't know if you've seen any of my other statements, but I've said before that she intertwines several stories in songs sometimes. Sometimes she only does a line or 2. Like... In The Alchemy, Travis never did Heroine without an e, that's a line to Matty. "He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an "E" Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me" "How The 1975’s Matty Healy Kicked Heroin and Took the Band to New Heights"

I have some sort of block where I'm incapable of picking favorites the vast majority of the time. I can't even pick a favorite song from this album, let alone a favorite of all time. 😂 Still Blackmore's Night but you should also check out Nightwish's Last Ride of the Day.
