youre my favorite reactor pls dont ever stop
I love your commentary so much, you pay attention both to the production AND the meaning of the lyrics, i always look forward to your new Taylor reactions 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Sunrise Blvd. is about New York because it is on the East Coast (the sun rises in the East), the opposite of Sunset Blvd. on the West Coast.
Always loved your reactions! Hope you'll re-upload the Speak Now TV reaction. I missed it :((
Also, in no way to come off as creepy, but I just realized how blue your eyes are! Sooo cool 💙
Fun fact: Not sure of you heard it or not but one of Taylor’s cats meows in Now That We Don’t Talk. “Shared Dinners, long weekends with MEOW” “Truth is, I can’t pretend it’s MEOW”
Now That We Don't Talk is, appropriately enough, the shortest song in her discography.
When you mentioned about Out of the Woods with the song Is it Over Now? Taylor did a mashup of the two songs as a surprise song on the Eras Tour. It was amazing! It was actually a snowmobile accident, not a car accident and they had to go to the hospital for him to get stitches.
I just realized suburban legends references two songs she erote about harry one album prior. "I knew you were Trouble" and "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
Taylor and Harry had a relationship that was very on and off and they were both seeing other people during the off times as she describes in this song and in her song "Style", but he also clearly cheated on her during their on period hence the "I called you a lying traitor"… The blue dress on a boat is a famous picture of Taylor alone on a boat after they had broken up on that trip and she headed home alone. So there were a lot of mixed messages from Harry about their relationship hence why she is still asking "Is it over now?" in this song because it was so blurry to her towards the end, because they always got back together or had a casual relationship.
These all feel very Midnights and i don't like it, she had to adapt to the era and she did the same tired Jack Antonoff production, some channel here in YT made a “Slut!” rehash with true 1989 production and it sounds soooo much better
Can't wait to the music videos reaction
I think that the "school" and "class reunion" in Suburban Legends is a metaphor for the music/entertainment industry and award shows like the Grammys. She romanticized the idea that her and Harry could have been a classic couple that surprised all the other industry people and defied their expectations, and maybe he said he wanted that too. But he didn't actually mean it. So she goes to the award shows and events alone and pretends she never had that romanticized fantasy to begin with.
Suburban Legends is probably the most “1989 OG” sounding track
The quotation marks and exclamation point makes sense at the end of the song. She started shouting the "up!" "slut!" and "drunk!"
There's actually 35mins version of Now That We Don't Talk.
when you said "what the fuck?" listening to Is It Over Now, I felt it 😅 I always feel like that lyric needs a TW
Hi so the line and did you think I didn’t see you they were flashing lights is talking about. I think at least the paparazzi taking pictures of Harry while they were in a relationship with other girls so did you think I didn’t see you there were flashing lights I saw everything, everything was on the tabloids.
Say Don't Go keeps giving me The Cars sound.
The music fits the mood. Suburban legends is about Harry Styles again, they were born to be Suburban Legends, famous singers. The gym and high school are metaphors, not actual. The fact that both this and Now that we don't talk build but don't go anywhere is a sonic theme to describe the relationship that didn't go anywhere. Taylor uses music as metaphor sometimes. If a song is about anxiety the music sounds like anxiety, if it's talking about a relationship that built and then ended abruptly, the music does too. Some of her songs are better viewed as one act plays with all the choices telling an element of the story. The song doesn't feel finished, because the relationship (to her) never seemed finished. Is it over now, also is that theme.
You’re hot
Will he react to Rep again or not anymore
my dude, pls react to ariana grande's new album eternal sunshine
It was a ski-doo accident not a car accident
All of these songs have the name of Harry 😃
Thank you especially Is it over now it’s definitely about Harry ❤
strongest vault tracks yet,
Its all painful 😭
i swear “SLUT!” is my fav
I do think most vault tracks in her versions sound lyrically closer to her more recent albums because these were not all finished tracks when they were vaulted. I’m sure she had melodies and choruses and parts of verses written before, but I think 2022-2024 Taylor had to write quite a bit to “complete” these songs. That’s why they’re noticeably denser with lyrics and the style of writing has a maturity that 2014 Taylor just didn’t have yet.
Slut! is such a grower!
definitely stay in the chronological order!
yep slut and most of the 1989 vault tracks are definitely california, taylor had said so herself. I guess that's why they where left off the album?
can you react to eternal sunshine – ariana grande
