The part when she says "It's supposed to be fun turning 21" is quite literal. 'The Moment I Knew' is a song on Red that talks about her 21st birthday party that he didn't attend and that made her feel sad because it was an important moment of her life and she wanted him there. It is said that's one of the reasons the year later she made '22', to symbolize a different start to a whole new cycle. At least in this relationship we know that somehow she looked at it later with unbothered vibes as we know from 'I Bet You Think About Me'.

As a huge metal fan all my life I didn't really have an opinion of her until I got to accompany my gf to her concert. At the concert I had an almost religious holy spirit experience during Cruel Summer, I was laughing and crying at the same time it was intense. From that moment on I've become such a massive Swifty she is now my #1 artist on Spotify. Her lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard of any genre and the deeper you delve the more you discover.

"she can't keep getting away with this" is SENDING ME

The part where she says “just between us” over and over always made me feel like that’s something that he said to her, like their relationship was a special secret for just them, but in reality it was because he was ashamed of their relationship. It just makes it hit even harder. I absolutely LOVE these videos please keep reacting! Y’all are awesome!

shes a poet fr. when she goes "you said if we had been closer in age maybe it wouldve been fine" then later says "and i was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes ill get older but your lovers stay my age" is such a beautiful dig

This is how it should be listened to, first the original 5min and then the 10min, loved that you did it right! What would be cool is to continue the All too well story by listening to 'The moment I knew' which relates back to her 21st and then for laughs, 'I'll bet you think about me' a kind of parody of the whole situation. Love you're Taylor reactions so so so good!

Not these men recognising how painful it must be for her to deliver this, to record it and sing it live. To relive all the hurt. 😭

I love the crumpled up paper line. Once a piece of paper is crumpled it can never return to the perfect form that it first was. It's forever crumpled. It's such a heartbreaking metaphor. She's saying she will never be the same as she used to be.

Singing this with Taylor and 70,000 other Swifties last month was the best therapy I could ever receive. I’ll never forget those nights at the eras tour as long as I live.

When this song first came out, any time she performed it she was visually angry and had tears in her eyes. This song was never a single when it came out with the album in 2012, but the fans and critics immediately fell in love with it and over the years she said multiple times how the fans changed this song for her. Now it's not this painful song that makes her tear up, its the song everyone screams at the top of their lungs

Once you crumple up a piece of paper, it will never be the same again. It will always have creases and wrinkles... Therefore, love can really change you.

they would lose their damn minds

Taylor also wrote this after a long writer's block. When she finally was able to sit down with her words, they all just came spilling out of her in the ten minute version before Liz Rose helped her edit it down. The "crumpled up piece of paper" has always felt to me like her words that she couldnt get quite right and she felt disposable and like she was a mess from the break up. She also repeats "I was there. I remember it all too well" which might be because he constantly tried to gaslight her. She's ensuring him that she remembers it how it actually was

Yeah, It’s definitely about gaslight. “I’m in a new hell every time you double cross my mind”

Ya’ll need to watch her SNL performance of this song. It was the first time she sang the 10-minute version live and it was viciously delicious.

I absolutely love y'all's Taylor reactions, they are amazing. You respect her lyricism and how well she deliverys them. It really makes you feel something. I'd love to see you do the long pond version of "This Is Me Trying" Its nice that she explains the meaning of the songs before she sings them so beautifully

@alisong826

Yes please watch ‘this is my trying’; I agree with Christina - watch the long pond version!

“Her pen may as well be a fkn katana” is my new favorite description. Well said sir!

it's so satisfying to see grown men (who are maybe around or less than jake's age when this happened) to listen to the lyrics and agree that what he did was fucked up because we all know it's not an age thing

Also, the "I remember it all too well" is to our understanding that she keeps saying because he would gaslight her all the time. So this is her way of saying, "I'm not crazy or making things up, I remember it all too well"

The “twin flames” line is so good because it means soulmates but it can also be referring to their fire zodiac signs

She is really good at writing down words that evokes such emotion and memories! I am a 77 year old fan and whenever I hear Fifteen by Taylor, it takes me back to my high school days.Nostalgia!

I used to sleep on Taylor Swift too, but I realized she’s a poet. One of the most prolific songwriters of our time.

She’s soooo specific in her stories yet magically they’re relatable to everyone

I love the ending of the 10 minute version of this song, cause as she says in one of the verses, he never called what they had "Love", so the ending and actually the whole song to me feels like she is trying to reassure her self that "No, I was there, i remember it all too well that it was love." Also at the end after exposing their relationship to the world in a 10 min song, she asks him "Just between us, you remember it too right?" insane lyricism, no lyric is without meaning. I could write about it for a long long time. Thank you for reacting to it! ♥

"Her pen might as well be a f*cking katana." LEGENDARY.

She really is an amazing storyteller and lyricist. I definitely felt her words along side my own story that this brings me to (which painfully parallels her experience). This song heals me a little everytime I hear it, the catharsis that comes from feeling seen. I can hear the broken pieces of her heart screaming "it was real, I was there, I remember it." Me too.

And now you’re here with us Swifties welcome! I love how you did the song without the short film because I’ve heard too many people say they couldn’t concentrate on the lyrics cause of the video. So Bravo to you! Watching you guys breakdown Taylor Swift is like Christmas crack to me so thank you 🙏🏻

This series should continue, I'm sitting with popcorn

There's no more "I might be becoming a Swiftie". You just are. Embrace it. The way yall will sit and analyze the lyrics and break down what you think it means...its amazing. It's why I keep coming back! Yall are awesome.

When you guys said “it must hurt for her to deliver this song”, you’re right! It used to! She said at one of her concerts that this song was written out of catharsis and venting but then it went out into the world and we made it a collage of memories of us screaming the lyrics, showing her our diaries with the words to this song written in it or the words to this song underneath our skin and that is how we changed the song all too well for her.

Again, amazing video! You guys aren't just mindlessly listening to the song , you're hearing the story she's telling and fully taking in every word. Living for your enthusiastic reactions, that's exactly how you're supposed to react to her lyricism! Her words pack a punch lol. Also really appreciate your sense of humor, you manage to be effortlessly funny while still taking the song seriously! :)

I still can't tell who is Dariel and who is Ashton but in every Taylor's reaction that they do the one with the hat always says "this is my favorite song by Taylor so far" and I couldn't agree more. Every song of hers that you hear makes you feel like this is the best song of her that you can listen to and then you listen to another one and you feel the same thing again with a different one. Her pen is always marvelous.

really really love that when u guys pause the song to say something, you go back a few seconds to relisten to the whole section unbroken it's really thoughtful

so glad i came across this channel. i appreciate y’all immensely for taking the time to read the lyrics and actually try to understand them. you appreciating her talent and lyricism is so amazing and so rare for men. not one sexist or downplaying comment about her music or her reputation and ‘girly pop breakup songs’ that everyone always magnifies, but simply just enjoying the music and learning why so many people love her. commendable. also, i don’t know if you knew this but she wrote the whole 10 min version when she was only 19/20! back when she first released it in 2012 she had to cut it down for it to fit into the album but now that she has the ability to re-record her old (stolen) records she took the chance to record the long-awaited 10 min version and it’s, as you saw, fantastic. cant wait to see what y’all do next. loving all the tswift vids but also just love your vibes. keep it up ❤️

"Shes rapping bro, this is rap" had me giggling

I feel like "Last Kiss" is another great sad song by her that's so poetic/beautifully written, as well as "Clean."

From what I understand, this song has been a Swiftie favorite on a global level since it appeared on her Red Album. When the 10 minute version came out on her rerecording of the Red Album, Swifties all around the world gathered in gymnasiums and large halls to respond to her All Too Well 10 minute video. She performed the 10 minute version on SNL which has never been done before that I remember.

seven is a really special song. its on the folklore album. represents being young, innocent, carefree, all before the world can tell you what to be or what to do. one of my favorites. false god is also a really different sounding piece compared to a lot of her mainstream stuff. love your channel thanks for giving Taylor a chance, gives me a little hope for men. like ok you hate Taylor or just women with power? don't like her lyrics or just don't know how to listen and empathize with a woman, your mom sister or daughter. we are all Taylor and Taylor is us.

I've been a swiftie for more than half my life. I have been into her music for as long as I can remember. I have watched countless reaction videos and have waited YEARS for men to see Taylor's lyrics the way I want them to. The way you reacted to the secret/oath line was everything to me. it healed something in me. thank you for listening to her and listening to us

Newly returned swiftie. I listened to her when I was younger and then recently started listening again. I think the Great War is one of the most adult and reflective songs I've heard in a long while. I hope y'all listen to that.

I’ll recommend my favorite folklore song: this is me trying, it’s AMAZING and lyrics on folklore are next level but then evermore comes and does better and really they’re in my opinion her greatest works of art

A crumbled up piece of paper can never be smoothed out. Never to be the same again. Always broken or torn. That line is pure perfection!

All Too Well is probably her best song lyrically. It also felt so good and healing screaming this with 70,000+ swifties live. Loving the swiftie content, keep them coming!

I want to say thank you for reacting in an open-minded way. It's really hard to find reactions to Taylor where the reactor isn't being misogynistic or rude! Thank you ❤

i really need y’all to do ✨anything✨ from the Reputation album, just to experience the whiplash of Taylor spitting BARS and then going back to her girly persona 😂🙌

so glad you guys listened to her best song ever! the 10min version is just a masterpiece, incomparable to anything.. just so many layers!

ITS FINALLY HAPPENING

Also someone probably already said it here but: scarf METAPHOR and one of you mentioned how hard it must be to sing this and because this is a fan fave she has often stated now how it used to be horrible to perform and now it’s about the experience with her fans so she finally happy singing it. She even has more recent lyrics about “crying in the bathroom about a guy whose name I can’t even remember now”.

What I love the most is how the song shows us how it was a short relationship… it starts with leaves falling into place(fall) and it was over by the first snow fall(winter) one of the greatest songs ever!

You have to react to the short film!! But honestly, all her songs are amazing!

My absolute favourite thing about Taylor is how she perfectly puts into words feelings, moments and experiences we’ve all had and struggled to explain. She somehow makes it all make sense. A true lyrical genius

My favorite thing about this is your comment on how HE should not have been dating someone so young. I just got out of a situationship with a man much older than myself that ended with him SA'ing me and trying to unalive me. Some people are blaming me and it's been really difficult. It's so nice to hear two men placing the responsibility on the person who is actually at fault. I really love your videos, your deep-dives into her lyrics, etc. I consider myself a Swiftie but I feel I come away from your videos with a deeper understanding of her lyrics. Please keep up with your amazing work!

Ay I’m actually loving seeing you guys vibe out to Taylor’s music she’s honestly one of the best lyricist in music today. Y’all gotta watch the short film, hits you like a freaking truck

I love so much your reactions, it’s not normal to see men reacting to Taylor, there’s so much prejudice around her that normally she’s judged just because of who she is, and her music is fire, so me as a fan I’m really glad you that you guys listen and appreciate her and her music. Thank you!

Love this so so much. How you guys are truly taking the time to listen and take in how superior her lyrics are. When you heard “YOU KEPT ME LIKE A SECRET BUT I KEPT YOU LIKE AN OATH” I felt that in my soullllllll

best song ever I hope you will react to tolerate it !!!!!

Can we PLEASE encourage them to watch discography in order so they know all the hidden stories and meanings😭

So glad you enjoyed this song, it's considered her most fan-favorite song when it was 5 minutes but when she dropped the 10-minute version it blew us all away! So now you have to watch her 15-minute short film of this song! It explains what really happened with additional dialogue from the actors Dylan O'Brien (Maze Runner, Love and Monsters) and Sadie Sink (Stranger Things). She not only wrote all the lyrics and melody of this song, but she also wrote and directed this film (it won 4 awards). You will see why that age difference was only part of the problem. He has continued to this day to date women that are 20-22 when he's in his forties. The short film will blow you away! Looking forward to more of your Taylor reactions!

i love how genuine your reactions are.

"and now the ten min version" i have never been happier

this actually gives me life omg, i love seeing people have positive reactions to taylor

The song "the moment i knew" is talking about the same thing as the line "and then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come and he said its supposed to be fun, turning 21" (how Jake Gyllenhaal didn't show up at her 21st birthday). This instance is the reason she has the song "22". Since her 21st birthday was such a let down, she celebrated her 22 as if it was a huge milestone. This song has become such a staple and its so fun

I really enjoy your reactions. The lyric video of the long version is good but the short film that she directed of this song is way worth watching. Btw, Gyllenhaal was 31, she was 20

It's so mindblowing how this song transformed into what it is known today (one of her best written by far). She told us she and her band were just jamming during rehearsal (speak now tour prob) and she sang this raw for 10-15 mins straight. THANKFULLY the sound guy that day got it all on record and gave it to Mama Swift. The thought of her blurting out those words and expressing those emotions during that jam session makes me realize how truly hurt she must have been by this specific breakup. :(

I just LOVED your reaction! Please continue with Taylor reactions… the lyrics only get better and better 😊

“Like, I don’t want to get in an argument-imma get tore up!” Lol.

The editing on this one is so funny, love the captions and the zoom ins lol

I love everything about this so much, but I can’t get over “she’s rappin bro, this is rap”. 😂 a lyrical queen.

Love y’all’s reaction. “Don’t Blame Me” from reputation tour and “Wildest Dreams”, “Out Of The Woods” and “We Are Never Getting Back Together” from her 1989 tour are all worth watching. No one puts on a performance like Taylor!

your reactions are soooo genuine and I love it! your breakdowns of the lyrics are also so thoughtful. I love seeing people experience Taylor's songs for the first time, so keep the reactions coming!

Just got your Channel suggested and immediately watched all your videos after seeing one. You are doing such a great job reacting to Taylor's music and her lyrics. It's amazing. Love how you really go into the lyrics and your humor. Please keep on doing. Can't wait to see more!
