    Bc too many men have just written off her and other artists who are primarily loved by women and girls as just cheap musicians who aren't all that great. And hearing a man not doing that is healing a wound a lot of us have...

    I feel like the reason why us swifties love watching people reacting to her songs and appreciating her is because this hasn't happened before. Like we've been screaming since Speak now how poetic she is but noone listened. Now all of a sudden people are noticing and talking about her and realising her mastery in her art. This recognition makes us happy because lets be honest, THIS WAS LONG OVERDUE.

    I've been a swiftie since day one. I was also born in 1989 so we literally went through every life stage at the same time.. She's put words to things I've been battling my whole life which inherently has been healing AF.. but watching men objectively react to her art has been more healing than I could've possibly imagined. Thank you for respecting her as an artist. I watch a lot of these videos and RARELY comment, so just know for every grateful Swiftie commenting, there are probably also at least 5 more watching and sharing the same gratefulness. Regardless what media has said about us "Swifties", we are seriously the most loving fan base and soooooo excited anytime anyone gives her a FAIR chance.. something she hasn't really been allowed most of her career. So, even if it's a short time for your review, we are SOOOO GLAD you are here and you are welcome ANY time you choose to visit -- but welcome and encourage you to stay

    Also, it’s amazing how well her songs can be covered by metal and punk/emo rock bands to perfection, which kinda just shows the genius of her writing and how hard her music goes. But you can also strip it all back to just be a piano or guitar and it’s still so powerful. It’s incredible.

Everything about this song is intentional even the end how it all comes to a point and conclusion, and ends naturally on a single note with no fade out or anything bc it’s such a mic drop moment like UGH

    Love the pauses, i think that they were in the right moments except when the bridge was starting but it was still great, just a tip, with Taylor the bridges normally come after the second chorus, so if you notice a crescendo then its probably the bridge, so if you are going to pause it before the bridge i would recommend to go back a few seconds to start the bridge. Loved your reaction!

    You earned another sub!!! It's about time that people embrace music they're not used to. And as a man, it doesn't make you less of one if you enjoy a Taylor Swift song. I personally enjoy pop and alternative, but when I listened to artists like Escape The Fate, I enjoyed it so much especially when I went to one of their concerts. The mosh pit was a shock, but 15 minutes in, I'm joining the circle and just enjoying every minute.

    She’s talking about a man she dated who was a herion addict. She tried to love him out of it, but he was messy and nearly dragged her name over his slop I think “stabbed me with you push pins” means his heroin addiction hurt her by loving drugs more than her

    This is about Matty but he is no longer a drug addict/addicted to heroin, he has been sober for 5 or 6 years now. He stills drinks and smokes weed but isn't on heroin anymore. Also "stabbed me with your push pins" clearly means he had posters of her on his wall or treated her like taxidermy

    This is just not factual at all. He had a heroin problem when they met 10 years ago - but has been clean for a long time. According to some of the other songs, their relationship broke down due to the behaviour of her fans and him deciding to prioritise his own mental and physical health. There are also references to him saying 'it's over.' so it seems he didn't ghost her exactly - he just refused to engage in discussion after the fact.
