Hello and welcome to this weird crevasse of the internet where we get really excited about music (particularly Taylor Swift) and break down our favourite albums and songs. Our names are Bonny and Emily, and our aim with these videos is to share our love for music and also share context and understanding around the songs, by highlighting breaking down the lyrics, melodies and production. We are so happy to have created this little community that is just as unhinged as us when it comes to music 🤪

Foolish One is in my top 10 TS songs of all time!! I have a theory that the last verse was written much more recently. The entire song is in her high “young voice” for the re-record, but then Taylor switches to her more mature voice, and adds on that lovely verse about how her “day is going to come”. It’s a self-soothing / talking to your younger self verse.
I think lots of people in their 30s now look back on their younger teen self with kindness and self-compassion. That’s all I hear when I hear the last section.
I'm so happy you two are on planet Earth while I am!
This is off topic but your outfits literally slay so much each video! So coordinated, so fitting to the vibes. GORGEOUS
I've always thought Hayley Williams was an interesting choice for a collaboration on 'Castles Crumbling'. I imagine Hayley relates/related to its lyrics given the tumultuous time in 2009/2010 leading to (founding members) Zac and Josh leaving Paramore. Maybe Taylor was also inspired by the lyrics of the Paramore song 'Brick By Boring Brick' (from 2009) in its references to castles and what they could mean symbolically to her.
girls I love you and your videos, but like…we unfortunately DO live in a time when people go off to war in some places…so the comment was a bit out of touch, please be more mindful next time🙏 greetings from Europe and thank you for your analysis
I might be the only person who thinks this but the outro of Foolish One reminds me of the outro of Mood Ring by Lorde! She similarly adds a few final lines where she goes down in the melody and talks about looking to the future: "Watch the sun set, look back on my life. I just wanna know, will it be alright?" Also deeply superior
Timeless makes me think of her imagining if she was with Joe in another time without her fame how it could have been different. I know it would have been written in the Speak Now era, but you never know 🤭
I love your videos so much….i'm so exited to watch this videoooo 💜💜💜
These vault tracks are simply illegal!
1:02:14 “Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right” in Foolish One really reminds me of “My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea” from Sparks Fly … the correlations are endless!
I didn’t even think about how the “great hope for a dynasty” could be for BMR. The thing though is a dynasty is a “succession of rulers of the same line or a powerful group or family” and BMR wasn’t a dynasty at this time. Now, that could be what she means – that she’s the great hope to begin a dynasty.
But I was thinking about already existing dynasties which made me think of country music. She really made country music way more mainstream and led a revolution where country music didn’t just stay on country stations. So I was thinking maybe she was the great hope to bring the younger generations back into supporting country music.
I like all the interpretations honestly. I kinda hate that Hailey sings it though cause she wasn’t the great hope – Taylor was. I honestly feel like this song should’ve been solo or just had backing vocals from Hailey but then people would’ve lost their dang minds like they did on SOTB because apparently thoughtful, artistic choices = misogyny 🤡
Oooo y’all ate the fits so superior!
Ethel Cain's album Preacher's Daughter, plz!
At the end of the Bejeweled music video, the dragons are causing her castle to crumble!
The last chorus of Timeless always makes me think of "And I'll be eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine In the sky". I always think Timeless as the big sister of Mary's Song
Do you already have tickets for The Eras???
I love how in the 1st verse of Foolish One, she says "I will block out these voices of reason in my head", then in the outro she does the "La la la la la" like a little kid that would cover their ears and say the same when they don't want to hear someone!
26:49 the way emily collecting all her feels on that second verse, same girl, same.
emily's "fck you all I ain't marrying this dude. I'm running off with romeo" had me chocked
I dont care about Taylor swift but i watched the whole video, i just really like woman with big…heart 👀
i love how Bonny made the connection between I Can See You and Dress.. these two songs are Taylor's h0rniest songs in my opinion 🤭
