Taylor is involved in the production of all her music and her stage production. There is a sound ratata that she came up with, she recorded it on her phone aand took it to the studio and they recreated it. Taylor is involved in all of it, from start to finish. Taylor has her own band.

She brings the band out sometimes. She's had the same band members & back up singers for years. The music played is live.

Sorry the Swifties are mean. There’s a lot of frustration when Taylor is reduced to a pop star who just shows up to sing when she’s really the CEO of everything related to her music. Does she push the levers on Pro Tools? Likely no. But she’s standing there telling these guys what she wants it to sound like. This Reputation Tour and album is a huge reaction to what had come before musically and personally. It’s pure dramatic theatre and it was great fun. Biggest, craziest show I’ve ever seen. Way more fun than her current tour. But yes, the heart of her is a woman and her guitar or piano singing heartfelt songs. It’s where she really shines, whether it’s a small studio or a huge stadium.

The stage here is bigger than a Boeing 747; her band is live. I think 3 guitars (one also plays mandolin, keyboards and banjo), bass player, a keyboard player and a drummer. She has 4 backup singers: she'll bring everyone out. This is the second song of the night; after this song, she will welcome people to the tour, sing older songs, bring out the musicians who are mobile, introduce the dancers. The band is hidden by the big screens behind her at the moment. Several of them have been with her since she started. Later in the show, she shouts out the audio personnel and riggers, and even the truck drivers, local police and security who are helping contribute to the show taking place. She also gives everyone a break, and comes out and does a couple songs with just a guitar.

Taylor never just hands her work off yo someone to finish it for her. She’s involved in every part of the process.

@markabusireactions There's a series called "The Making of a Song" (or something close to that) with Taylor that showcases several of her songs. They show her basic process of songwriting from the very start of a song idea. You get to see and hear enough to understand the dynamic between Taylor and producers. There isn't really any part of the process that she isn't involved. Taylor's first label contract, at 15, was as a songwriter. Critics inside and out of the industry used to always doubt her contribution to her songs and songwriting skills , so for her 3rd or 4th?album, she wrote the entire album by herself. No co-writers. She even writes/creates her music videos and for the last few years she also directs and produces them. Regarding stripped-back performances: ~Long Pond Sessions ~Tiny Desk (NPR) ~Live Grammy Museum performance (not Grammy show performances) ~Taylor, live in Paris (not sure official title, but this one should get you there) She tours with a live band & backup singers. They aren't hidden, just not constantly shown. They come out on stage for different songs. All pros at the top of their game, as you can imagine. Looking forward to your next Taylor Swift and The Warning reactions! Have a good one!

I don't understand why some in the fandom become so hostile when someone has a criticism or doesn't like something. It turns people off and is counterproductive. She always has a full band, backup singers, and a backing track when she's on tour. She does stripped-down acoustic sets every tour as well, just her, an instrument, and 96k fans.

Michael Jordan refused to give political commentary as he didn't want to alienate anyone from buying his shoes. A smart business decision. I was on board with Swift in the early days...A tremendously talented artist. Fame brings great responsibility and can be a curse if ego overrides obligation. I don't know her, but I'm sure she's frustrated with those who judge her on the actions and opinions of some fans . Thanks for being fair minded .

She filmed the tour in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington Texas, 50th and 51st performance. The song wasn't a single, but she performed it live at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. EAS needed to splice the video, to prevent copyright claims; others will put in slices of fan footage from one of the concerts, etc. The audio is from the tour film. I am forever pissed the contract for this expired, and Netflix doesn't have it anymore; the original concert film was superbly edited. I wish they'd sell all the rights to Taylor; but Big Machine Records was her label, and they own some of the tour film rights. So far, she's made sure they don't profit as much off her back catalog, by releasing her versions of the older albums.

Taylor Swift sings live. For her eras tour she trained multiple hours a day but singing her entire set list while running on a treadmill.

New subscriber and non mean Swiftie 😂 Enjoyed your reaction to one of my fave Taylor live performances. Interesting what you say about her voice, it is much stronger now.... See the Eras Tour, she's done some serious work. I see you say you like Folklore I'd recommend the Long Pond sessions.

By the way, she does come out and strip it back. 1/2 way through the concert, she comes out with a piano and does a few songs, and she plays her guitar as well. and it's amazing. She has the whole stadium mesmerized. Also, like other Swifties have said, Taylor is involved in every aspect of her art. Including production. She doesn't just hand over a song, she is involved in and adds to the production. In this song, he vocals did adlibs that sound like a backing beat. She woke up in the middle of the night with the sound in her head and recorded it on her phone, then took it to her producer and he worked it into the song when they were in the studio together. Listen to it at 6:32 to 6:42 timestamp of this reaction video. Just so you know. Taylor has a live band and back up singers, always. And Taylor writes her own lyrics since the beginning. She started with ta RCA development contract, and that is all she did was write lyrics. Then she quite them and went with Big Machine Records so she could make her own albums and sing. She played guitar and piano back then too.

Okay. But her recording that and asking the guy to add it into the song, IS NOT her being a part of the production of a song. That’s the writing of the song. The production, is how it’s all mixed together, and how the studio is engineered in order to record what she’s doing. Unless she’s suddenly became a studio engineer or a recording masterer, then she isn’t doing specifically the thing I was talking about. 🤷‍♂️ everyone is using that one comment, but if o say the production of a song is shit, that has literally not a damn thing to do with the artist that made the song. There’s loads of albums I absolutely love, but the production on them sucks.

It's wild that you got shit for not liking her pop stuff. As a Swiftie myself, I am constantly surrounded by the kind of swifties that only like the Folklore/Evermore/Midnights sounds. Anyway! I'm sorry you experienced that. Some Swifties don't have manners (and I say that as someone who does love the pop stuff! lol.)

It’s all good, this isn’t the only fan base I’ve upset in the past! 😂😂 but I figure I might as well just be honest, and let the chips land where they fall.

Personally, I think reputation is more likable. If you know all the history behind it once I learned it, I loved it. It makes a difference.

Eh, not quite. She was listed as a co-producer on every song she wrote as of her second album. She doesn't sit home and write lyrics and take it to a producer. You could watch her behind the scenes stuff of her working with the producers; she is the primary driver for much of it. Then, when she tours, she sits down with the music director and band leader, and they work out how to make the studio songs work in the live environment. They then add interstitial music for when she changes costume, and they change the set. All of her tours have been spectacle shows, from her first tour. She is also responsible for the stage design; she will tell the design crew how she wants the thing to look, and they work with her to bring as much as they can to life. You might not like the pop sounds, but every song she writes could be country if you replace electric guitars and synth with slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, and violin; and any of these big production songs can be played solo, just her on guitar or piano. fwiw, she's also played banjos, 12 string, ukulele, and electric guitars (or once a live looping session, on the 1989 tour, adding her own 3 layer harmonies). If you want something more stripped back, she did a set for the Red album on a French riverboat (Live on the Seine) and a VH1 Songwriter's session during the 2010 or 2011 Speak Now era.

I have been to see quite a few of the big pop artists as the chaperone and the shows are great fun, the music can get a bit tiresome at times, but the production makes up for it. Most pop artist have a live band backing them up, which gives the songs much more life. On the Babymetal dancing, I think there are many ways to express song through dance, personally I prefer the way babymetal dance, but I still really enjoy this style of dance aswell. Lady Gaga's backup dancers come to mind, they put on a great show.

The video you're watching is not official. You might want to watch the reputation Stadium Tour movie (if you can get a copy) because it'll probably change how you feel about a lot of her songs. Your choice of course. Regarding her writing, many producers and coworkers have said publicly that she's in a different league than anyone else they have written with in terms of how much she brings to start with and how much involvement, say, and creative energy and genius. I'm not an expert, but I do trust people who are recognized in the industry.

The Swift Leaks channel is much better for getting video that is mostly Tour concert video (from the original produced tour video) but editing it with enough fan video that is why I think it often avoids copyright issues and more importantly it is much easier to watch. It does sometimes mix performances on multiple nights but not so bad that it is distracting or confusing for the most part.

Let me start by saying I had never listened to TS music before about 8 months ago and have seen that some Swifties can be brutally mean in comments to people who criticize TS. So your reaction to that is pretty valid. However, most are not like that so long as you at least don’t disrespect her. They are perfectly fine if you don’t like something. That being said, a quick way to disrespect her (and thus her fans) is render judgements and commentary on her music from an unknowledgeable positions while admitting you don’t know much about her music and then making incorrect statements as if you actually know something about her music, like that she only writes the basic lyrics and melody on a single instrument and the hands her music off to a producer who makes the final product. Even worse when you make such an statement in a way that diminishes her talent and attributes creative credit to others that often belongs to her. Ironically this particular songs she was the creative genius behind a bunch of the cool production elements of this song including the sound effects. You can literally find video showing the production sessions and her role in them. So you aren’t even judging her on the correct basis. It takes only a few KZread searches to see her intricate involvement in production of her music. Are you trying to make her fans mad? Are you seriously that incredulous that you can’t believe she would be involved and this can’t assume credit is due to her? I think you may have very intelligent or valid thoughts on things but why would you purport to know something you admittedly do not know? I am not trying to be mean, but genuinely do not understand the creative decision to do that as a content creator that is by definition reacting to artists that you know little about.

I can answer this. I’m reacting to this video on a livestream. The entire video you just watched is live. I don’t have time to sit and do research on the fly, you’re getting my very first thoughts and opinions here. When I’m talking about the production, I’m literally meaning how the amps are set up, how the gear is put together to record, the way the song is mastered etc. that’s not her that does that stuff, it’s Jack Antonoff for most of her albums. And when I say she writes the basic songs and then hands it to a producer, what I mean is… there’s no way she wrote this song, exactly as it sounds, in her bloody house. She wrote it on a guitar or piano and then went in and said “here’s the basic song, but here’s how I have it sounding in my head, let’s get it to sound like that.” I’m also basing this off her Long Pond interviews where she says as much. ALSO. absolutely none of what I said was meant as an insult, so to take it that way feels a little weird to me, honestly. Absolutely loads of people go into a studio with a song they’ve written and then the producers go to town on it. Christ, Ellie Gouldings first album, was an acoustic folk album, before she went into the studio. I know this cause I used to be mates with her on MySpace and she was posting her acoustic songs on her page, and next thing you know she’s released a pop album with all those songs on it, and they’re unrecognisable. Sorry if you thought I was being mean or whatever, but I literally can’t get more positive about an artist than I was in this video, without just being fake as fuck, and I refuse to do that just so a fan base likes me. So if the swifties don’t like me… fuck it, basically 🤷‍♂️

@@markabusireactions I am neither insulted nor do I think mean reactions are acceptable. I was honestly trying to provide some feedback. You are right there is absolutely nothing wrong with having significant production on a so g and that most artists probably do. I am also not suggesting you do research before hand. I am however suggesting tempering your comments to not state assumptions as facts. In this case I believe your premise is still largely wrong. I understand what you mean by production and you are correct she has producers and they are great, fantastic and talented producers who add to the production value including their own ideas. And there are songs that I believe have more producer influence over the final production than others. However, she is far more involved in the actual production than I believe you think she is and this song is probably a good example. For her the process appears to be far more collaborative than I think most artist/producer relationships. You are entitled to handle your channel and reactions as you want. I am just saying i think you would get a little more respect for the valid opinions you do have if you didn’t layer them with “facts” or context on which you are basing your conclusions that may or may not be based in reality. Just say “I like this”, “I don’t like that”, “this approach to a song seems XYZ”, “I would have liked it better if it were mixed like ABC” rather than qualifying your thoughts based on assumptions that honestly with TS are probably wrong. I am saying this from the place of being someone who had many of those assumptions 8 months ago before diving into her music and behind the scenes type content. I find her and her fan base fascinating which is why I started down the rabbit hole and have been more and more impressed the more I learn. And one thing I learned was throw out your preconceived ideas of Taylor Swift, of pop stars, of women, of large stage productions. And whatever you see, start with the assumption she has also done something completely the opposite. Like… yes she does do entirely stripped down acoustic performances on those huge stages in front of 80k people and they are still riveting. She is an enigma. The minute you think you know what she has in her bag, if you open your mind to the possibility you will find she has more in the bag. You might disagree at the end of the rabbit hole with my opinion or others which is perfectly fine. But I have seen enough to say she has so much more talent, wide, broad, and deep into every aspect of the creative process and presentation of her work it is at times astonishing. You may not find the same. Again I wish you luck and hope you continue the ride and enjoy it.

I think you need to watch some of the “making of a song” videos to see the truth of Taylor’s involvement in production.

She’s got some producer credits, but even I don’t know which ones she produced and which ones she just worked with a producer to get the sound she wanted and which ones were with a producer assigned by her label-at least without checking. I know that some of her biggest pop songs were produced by Max Martin. Probably the ones you hate the most. 😂 Her voice isn’t as strong in the lower register in Reputation as it is in the livestreamed folklore performances because she was younger. She can sing much stronger these days while doing much more complicated dancing. It helps that she’s recovered from her eating disorder-hard to dance and sing at full strength when you don’t have enough fuel in your tank. (I actually agree with you about the bridge.

Also, she made a cardboard model of the stage she wanted and commissioned it in her first tour, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she did the same for this one. Also, it’s not that the lyrics are bad, they just aren’t on par with, say, “ivy” or whatever. Although I don’t know if “ivy” would be too folksy for you in sound… It could make a great goth song if it got put to different music, I think. Not punk goth/metal goth, though, more Victorian goth.

The thing is that great Western Superstars have shows that are great stage shows. My personal criticism and this just doesn't apply just to Taylor Swift. Is simply the music. Yes it is a show but will I remember the song or her dancing or the showmanship five seconds after this ends. For me it is generic candy floss and tastes great but will dissolve and disappear from the memory taste buds once consumed. She is clearly a phenomenal performer to her fans and to the press. She is where she is because of that. I do get it. But like most things in a consumer led society. It is throw away and digested and then once the machine stops churning.

If you liked folklore, evermore is the sister album. It is different though, but still in the folklore forest. But, I agree she is best with a guitar playing folk/alt/indie songs. But, i don’t mind a lot of the pop songs. She is probably the most involved artist today, arguably. You are correct about the heavy production on some of these pop songs, the producer does do a lot of that. But, she does co-produce all her songs, and writes 100% of them, some songs she writes 100%, and usually she controls 100% of the lyrics and melodies. lol Travis getting an album written about him later down the line? 😂. well, most artists do write about their experiences, this isn’t new or unique to her. And, she has been the subject of MANY of her exes’ songs as well, no one really seems to want to talk about that though. But her writing about her exes seems to be news more than theirs. But, Travis the NFL star will probably be the subject of a song on her next album (not her NEXT album which is in 4/2024, but the one after that I would imagine). So, she actually pulls back songs on each show, she ALWAYS has said that she can pull back every single one of her songs and play them acoustic guitar or on piano. She she does just that every night on her ERAs tour. One on the guitar and one on the piano, each is different every night of the tour. She plays songs she has never played before, or hasn’t played in 15 years, or peak pop songs played acoustic. It’s the fans favorite part of the show. So, yea, she does just that every show at her Eras tour. Here’s a couple nice ones: Getaway Car acoustic: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8Ka7pCe/ This is me trying: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KmJMPB/ Is it over now/out of the woods: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KmJcNC/ Evermore www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8Ka7XUj/ Come back be here www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KaoDmg/ Your losing me www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KmjSJ3/

Just spoke to some fans who saw her stadium concert a few days ago, they were kind of disappointed, they struggled to hear Taylor sing, because the crowd was singing along with such gusto, I fully understand it’s not T S fault, just what’s so frustrating with seeing a large concert when the crowd just won’t shut up. I mean FFS I don’t want to go to a concert and hear the people around me sing. What can we do about this?

I saw her in LA at the Eras tour with like 90k fans scream singing over her for 3 1/2 hours. I mean why?? I sang and danced along but didn’t need to scream over her. I was on the floor where the sound was all boomy base and very little else. Her live band is amazing and I really wanted to hear how they reinterpreted the songs. I only paid the original ticket price but it’s still frustrating to pay over $600 and not hear the actual music.

This is a mashed up version of 2 different performances. If you want ppl to take your critiques seriously you have to do some research bc most of what you said wasn’t true. Not trying to be mean but not knowing Taylor is very involved in all the production, she doesn’t just turn the song over that she recorded on piano or guitar when she was writing it is disrespectful. She also has her own band & backup singers that she pays so well most have been with her since the beginning. On a side note I think rugby players might have something to say about you dissing football bc they use their hands. You do realize in every other sport, except soccer, hands are used. I subbed and will be back bc I hope you understand these comments are to educate. ❤

…. I’m talking about the engineering and the setting up of the amps and the mics, and the physical mixing of the music. She doesn’t do that stuff, Jack Antonoff does a lot of it, because that’s their job. She also doesn’t master the final mix of the music, because why on earth would she? Production and writing are two completely different things, m aware she’s very hands on with all the decision making, but if she gets handed a shit final mix, she can’t exactly fix it herself. Unless she suddenly has a music mastering degree that I’m unaware of. I wasn’t insulting her at all, I was insulting the production, completely different thing. Like I’ve said before, there’s loads of albums I absolutely love that have shit production. Also, I know it’s two mashed up performances, I say that almost a minute into the video.
