Forever Winter is believed to be about her friend Jeff Lang who committed su1c1de...she accepted an award for songwriting in 2010 and while accepting it she said something like: This was a very emotional week, I put out Speak Now this week and the fact that it might mean something to somebody really means a lot to me and that was a very happy moment this week, and yesterday I sang at a funeral of one of my best friends, he was 21 and I always used to play him my songs first so I would like to thank Jeff lang.
forever winter its my favorite vault track sadly she wrote it for a highschool friend that comited suicide and she didnt noticed how bad he was doing
Forever winter will always be my favorite vault track, saved my life when it came out. I was suicidal but after Taylor released the rerecorded red i burst out crying on my bedroom
Clicked faster then you could say Red Vault Tracks 👁0👁
'Better Man' actually WON a GRAMMY Award for Best Country Performance (for Little Big Town) and Country Song of the Year (Country Music Awards) Better Man and Babe are my fave RED Vault tracks.

33:11 you can see how at that moment he realizes what the song is actually about and I practically started sobbing
I love that the Run reaction turned to a rant about aisles 😂

I read this comment before getting to that point and I was so curious to see the thought process 💀
"Do you have all the space that you need?" "Cause like we hadn't seen each other in a month, when you said you needed space - What?"
I feel like Nothing New can be about a lot of things. I think for Taylor, she’s always talking about how women constantly have to change in the music industry because they get tired of you once you become a certain age. I also think it’s a relatable song because anyone can apply it to their own life. The line “It’s like I can feel time moving.” is so true because growing up is such a scary thing.

Yes, she talked about this song and that she wrote it after her huge success with Fearless and her feeling like people were less and less excited for her and her music as time went on (at that time) and how she was scared her carreer was going down. It was a great interview on Seth Mayers show in nov 2021.
I am thoroughly enjoying your journey through the discography, and I really appreciate you being so thorough. You owe it to yourself to watch Taylor sing "Better Man" live at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville (notably, right in front of Scott Borchetta, who would ultimately sell her catalog to douchebag Braun). Even if you don't do a reaction video. It's sooooo good.
So glad you enjoyed I bet you think about me so much. This song had a chokehold on me when Red TV came out. It is now also my go-to karaoke song 😂
the backing vocals in Better Man are Liz Huett and Caitlin Evanson, they were part of Taylor's band during the original Red era. They both did backing vocals for her then as well, and Caitlin also played the fiddle
I Bet You Think About Me also has a music video that is great. Can’t wait for your reaction!
Red is the ultimate Taylor Swift experience, all the pieces of a broken heart. I love the reaction, keep It up ❤
Thanks for your appreciation to Forever Winter. Not a lot of reaction channel appreciates it, specially for the message. So thank you for that. And also sonically, Run has always been one of my favorite vault tracks hehe. It just sounds so good and relaxing. Thank you and have a great day.
The best live performance of the Red era is naturally the rock version of WANEGBT. HOWEVER, the funniest is the WANEGBT performance where Ed Sheeran suprised her dressed as a clown pretending to be one of her back up dancers. AND the most unhinged live performance was when between the US and international legs of the Red Tour Fall Out Boy opened the 2013 Victoria Secrets Fashion show, and she turned up half way through singing My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark while walking the catwalk dressed as a Union Jack flag 😂
Red TV vault tracks ❤❤❤❤ Superb, immaculate, elite. It can't be topped for me. Glad you love IBYTAM. It's so good.

IBYTAM is so scathing. ATW is a sad reflection on the trauma it caused and IBYTAM is scathing after recovering from that
forever winter is about a friend who committed suicide
The very first night has no right to be this good. It has infinite replay value to me. It may not be the most impressive of her songs, but god it makes me happy every time I listen to it. And I really need a song that can do that.

i just want you to know that- your grocery store isle rant? SPOKE TO MY HEART!
Red is such a good album front to back
I wholeheartedly agree with you on the grocery store madness 😂 my weekly grocery trip kills my hope for humanity every time
Just thinking about him loving I Bet You Think About Me and having no idea what awaits him in the music video is great😂
The appreciation and love for Forever Winter is everything i needed from this reaction ❤It's a fantastic heartbreaking warm song❤
I’d recommend her Bluebird Cafe live performance of ‘Better Man’. IMO the pacing and vocal quality is much more impactful than the album version
Started crying after your message after forever winter. One of my favorite songs by her ever.
fun fact - she originally gave better man to little big town and babe to sugarland!
I'm surprised more people don't love The Very First Night, its so fun! 😚

it’s one of my favorites ever! because i do indeed wish that i could go back in time so i could say to someone “i miss you like it was the very first night”. someone i never saw coming. someone i had to break the status quo to be with. someone who broke my heart, as i broke theirs. who my friends think im already over. because they don’t know about the words that we whispered. no one knows how much i miss them!
There's this speech where Taylor mentions the loss of a friend, who probably is the one she sings about in Forever Winter 💔 kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKRl0sd7ibi6YJM.htmlsi=ztNkxXaDe7whRz8P
I do think you should re-listen to all too well 10min version, even if off camera. It does hit different after listening the album, especially after songs like The Moment I Knew and I Bet You Think About Me
JIM ‼️‼️‼️ thank you thank you 🥹 red's got my favourite vault tracks ever ever ever (better man, message in a bottle, nothing new, i bet you think about me) thank you for finally listening and appreciating these masterpieces our young star wrote in such a traumatic period of her life ❤
You should see the video for Babe. It was originally given to Sugarland and she co-sang.
"Forever winter" is one of Taylor's best songs ever and I feel how I feel. I love it and almost cry listening to it.
thankyou so much I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS because of the amount of attention you pay into it ❤❤❤
Forever Winter is such a rich, beautiful parfait of tonal loveliness. As a loved one of someone who chose to end his life, this song resonates lyrically. Her decision to make it sound as if it soars through the heavens happily is perfect. So glad you enjoyed Forever Winter.
I bet you think about me was a Grammy nominated song 😊
Thanks for giving us more content 🎉
Taylor is never gonna stop being an artist lol I'll tell you that much. She may have the fantasy of the lakes but she's been very vocal about how the stage is her home, how songwriting is a tool that gets her through life, as well as performing her music. As much as there's huge drawbacks to the spotlight, she'll keep going
I’m Waiting for this!!! 😭
Red DID deserved the album of the year back in the day, I'm so glad you really understood the album. This is why red continues as my favorite album ever!

A more trimmed down version maybe, but it had too many dips. Starlight, the lucky one etc really drag out the back end and take away from the core story of the album. I'm not saying I don't like them but why are they on the main album when it's supposed to be her one true breakup album? You could replace them with some bonus tracks even and that would still be better.
Love your commentary on Nothing New.💖💖
If you don’t know Phoebe Bridgers, you MUST check her out. She’s incredible, as is her super group, Boygenius.

@wazowski6602 I agree with this 100%... but Red at 1 and SN at 2 permanently... Red Vault tracks are on another level imo. She practically gave us an entire album of vault tracks for Red TV and they are great songs.
This is such a perfect timing i was searching for something bc im unable to sleep
My personal favourite live performance from this era is I Knew You Were Trouble at the Brit Awards 2013 🤩🤩🤩 would LOVE to see you react to it!
you haveee to watch the grammy performance of all too well with jake gyllenhaal in attendance. she sings it with so much passion and basically stares him down
I LOVE THIS❤ PLEASE DO THE ALL RED MV
You're basically looking for an aisle-land in the sun
Forever winter is my favorite, and its relatable for me as i am like her friend.
She sold this to little big totem. She also sang at the blue bird cafe in Nashville
the I Bet You Think About Me supremacy 🙌
RED was her breakup sad album and the gate to witch to Pop after this she did 1989 and had her peak or what we thought the peak back then
The music video for "I bet you think about me" is fun and was directed by Blake Lively.
The way I describe the experience of “Forever Winter” (as someone who has been on both sides of that experience) is basically that Taylor very gently reaches between my ribs to cradle my heart and LOOK right into it. Reading my old hurts like a diary. And the song just holds me up while I break down. I’ve never had any lyrics hit me quite the way, “If I was standing there in your apartment/I’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it,” hits me. But when I share it with people it never hits them the way it hits me. Sigh. ANYWAY. The thing about “The Very First Night” for me is that she keeps ending lines with er and then rhyming it with ‘miss you’. And I can’t tell if it’s because it originally said ‘miss HER’ or because her accent used to rhyme er and ya back then. But it’s so consistent that I can’t stop wondering about it… Also, the song annoyed me on first listen but grew on me more and more every time I heard it…
Forever Winter is heartbreaking when you learn the backstory & see that video of Taylor after just putting out Speak Now😢
Dude better man makes me cry every time
Isn't Run just beautiful? Yes, the sentiment is utterly familiar, and their harmonies are like leaves falling or water running in a stream. Effervescent.
42:13 there's no way you said that unknowingly!! It's literally the concept of her song The Lakes from the Folklore album (2020)

I think you should also do behind the scenes of the music videos that adds a lot of context to the overall story of each video.
My top 3 Taylor songs of all time are 1.Better Man, 2. I bet you think about me, 3. All too well (10 min version) and it's kinda funny cuz Red is not a top album of mine. I absolutely love the lyrics in ibytam lmao like who even sings about your posh ex's organic shoes and his million dollar couch?? She's so fucking funny 🤣
I wish I could fly has fearless vibes
Finally justice for I bet you think about me !! It’s been a favorite since it came out and a lot of people don’t like it
Yessssss
Last comment from me: Nothing New makes me live and breathe.
Thank you! 👍😘💕🙏
the cart rant is killing me
I personally prefer the original version of Babe (it's from Sugarland since she gave it to them some years ago), that features Taylor.

message in a bottle is the first song Taylor and Max Martin worked together on
message in a bottle is literally a masterpiece
absolutely love love love your reactions. they are very in depth and i love your attention to detail. there are probably already a lot of requests, but if u get the time pls check these out: Red (47th annual CMA awards 2013) live performance. Red acoustic performances(the video is titled that and is on her channel- shes wearing an orange stripe dress, video is 15ish mins long) and finally taylor swift “Live on the seine” @paris, france even if u dont get to them in your reactions its cool, check them out at some point, cause taylor truly shines a differ way in these acoustic sets.

As someone who was abused by her partner, "Better man" might not be super complex musically but it hit
"I bet you think about me" is so petty and i love it 😂😂😂😂😂. Best thing in the rerelease. Iconic. I feel every single word in it. Completely aggressive shot fired and I'm so here for it
you should watch the video for "I bet you think about me"
PLEASE im still waiting for your reaction to Billies sophomore album !!!
Thank you for making such great videos! I am new to the Swift bandwagon and it's nice to have your thoughts on her music. I usually watch a video on the gossip from the album (I know you are above that 😂), then I watch your technical/musically focus reaction for a complete picture of the album. 🤍
imo red tv has the best vault tracks
So my mind wandered for a couple of seconds and suddenly you're ranting about the width of grocery store aisles 😂
I Bet You Think About Me has a music video!
Red TV has the best vault tracks, close second is 1989
I wanted to ask if you watched the speak now era music videos!! They’re really cool and it would be dope to see your reaction to them
❤
where's all too well 10 minute versions?????
I personally don’t really care for the Taylors version of Babe and prefer the original versions of it and Better Man that were recorded by other artists but I can still appreciate her wanting to do something different with them. Glad you enjoyed this vault 🫶

Because Taylor gave Better Man to Little Big Town and never created a master of the song herself, then any recording of her younger singing it should be free use considering the record label doesn’t own that song. So she might have added her younger vocals
You should do folklore now
