I think Robin Williams is a very apt analogy. This is such a sad song, but so peppy. The words are her mood, but the music is her acting.
“I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday”. It’s clear that Taylor has been the recipient of some good quality therapy. In Dialectical Behavioural Therapy they teach something called ‘Opposite to Emotion Action’ and it’s one of the coping skills I use most often. It’s pretty self explanatory but the idea is that if you consciously act like it’s your birthday during a depressive bout, eventually you can pull yourself out of it. That’s what this song makes me think of anyway.
That makes sense. I always kind of related that part to her singing 22 every night on the Eras your since it’s about her birthday but yours makes more sense 😂😂
@@Amandaarford83 I mean, I honestly have no idea. Your theory makes just as much sense as mine. I just often notice lyrics that seem like they might relate to therapy and a while back someone commented on a video pretty much saying the same thing, so I started to notice it even more. I always joke with my friends that you can’t really tell when I’m struggling because I’m usually practicing being the opposite “like it’s my birthday”.
I don't think that that is clear at all. But that doesn't clearly heal many. Appreciate your input tho.
Oops, I took it the way I think of my birthday. I'm creeping towards 40 so it makes me sad 😆
This was a lovely surprise. Not everyone gets the cleverness behind some of Taylor's 'glitter gel pen' songs. They may sound like vapid pop but there's intelligence and depth there if someone's comprehension skills are switched on. Like people below have said: The Rep Tour performances are highly entertaining - I also have a soft spot for her Out of The Woods 1989 world tour performance. Her ability to genre jump is impressive. That's why the Eras Tour was such a good idea. It's not just three hours of her teenage love songs - it's a ride going from pop, to country to edm, to r&b, to rap to folk. I've been to hundreds of Live shows and stadium concerts but I'll never forgot that tour.
Glad you enjoyed it, Kell! Looking forward to getting into the live stuff.
She is relatable to all ages, races, and genders. She's so fun!
Joe Alwyn had broken up with her just before the beginning of her ERAS tour and she was devastated after a 6 year relationship but still had to start her tour… this is how she felt at the first show.
We often forgot how much an artist has to leave behind them when they step on stage, how they can't flinch if something happens in their life. Knowing how she was feeling, I don't know how she managed to do over 50 shows that summer
It's impressive!
Welcome to the world of the "Taylor sad bop" the lyrics of this would break your heart but it's sent to a banging dance track.
Having said that you can see how much fun she's having and also check out the people she working with everyone has a smile.The majority of her band etc have been with her for years .
She has an incredible work ethic and designs much of the sets etc herself as well as the music .
She directs and designs her music videos now.
You really need to see the stunning short film All Too Well,it's incredible
I did it here, Liza..ua-cam.com/video/cdAahNLOqlQ/v-deo.htmlsi=WK9HtlO9lIpTF0ME
She puts SO MUCH into her performances. I've been to shows where you can tell the artist didn't put a lot of thought into how they are going to work the crowd and keep the show moving but the amount of detail and planning that goes into her live shows is insaaaane
I’m surprised you actually enjoyed this song. Her haters described this as “an annoying kid’s bop song”, but to me it’s a perfect example of a sad bop. It’s also the second most streamed song from The Tortured Poets Department if I remember correctly (at least during when your reaction vid was released).
Anyone who is going through a difficult time, but still chooses to get up and work their butts off could easily relate to the line “I cry a lot but I’m so productive”. It’s almost a mantra of some sort.
It's good to have these kind of songs to get you through. We all need them.
Taylor and Paul McCartney were friends for a while now. Taylor really respects him. Also, Taylor is named after James Taylor.
All of her live tours have been recorded, Fearless tour...Speak Now tour...Red Tour...1989 Tour...Reputation Tour and Eras Tour...check them out when you have time, they include a large portion of her discography...loving your reactions
Thanks!
I personally love hearing Taylor sing live than her albums. Not that her albums aren't good but live is amazing.
Loved how genuine this reaction was! Since you mentioned you'd like to see more of Taylor's live performances, some suggestions for you: Don't blame me (Reputation tour), I did something bad (Reputation tour), Ready for it (Reputation tour)
I'd also recommend August -> Illicit Affairs -> My Tears Ricochet combo from Eras! (partly because he's heard the songs and can appreciate the choices she made to present them, after having given the lyrics their due in the earlier videos)
@@darsynia omg yes an elite performance!!
Thanks! I've made a note of those.
I love this song. For taylor its getting up on that stage even if you’re broken. For me its living with my depression but life does not stop. You still have to work to pay the bills and you need to get up and put on a smile no matter what. It’s inpsirational and sad at the same time. Love your notes ☺️
Thanks, Bella! Keep on fighting the good fight!
Your voice man, like a comfort blanket
Thanks, Abi!
you HAVE to check out some of her live performances. the music videos she makes and directs are great - but she is so popular because of her tours. she's incredibly talented in all the facets which make a great performer. the eras tour is incredible. the reputation tour (specifically "ready for it?" "don't blame me" and "i did something bad") are all incredible performances. there's also a lot of playfulness across genres in her 1989 live tour. highly recommend!
I feel like I just watched the trailer for The Making of the Eras Tour. I love a good behind the scenes doc. I started taking my daughter to Taylor concerts back in 2009 , even back then when she was country no one was doing production on their tours the way she did. Her shows have always been an event.❤
It's cool stuff, Rose. Looking forward to checking out some of those shows.
'I did something bad' del Reputation Tour es épicooo!
To truly understand the depth of how incredible of a performer she is you should watch the eras tour all the way through in one sitting. It is truly remarkable the show she puts on
Hey, Friend Izzy
Thanks for reacting to I Can do It With a Broken Heart, one of the best and smartest of the TTPD, and with such identifiable handwriting! 🇧🇷❤️
Thanks for watching, Liza!
you need to listen to "i did something bad" rep tour!! It is one of her best live performances to me, alongside with "we are never ever getting back together" and "out of the woods" from 1989 tour!
💗
I've made a note of them, Valen. Thanks!
you are on point hahahaha, the meaning of this lyrics it's so serious and sad, but also it's a song that you can dance to. The first time I heard this song, I cried a lot even though the rhythm was fun and upbeat. Now i sing and dance whenever i hear it, but yes, it has this double face hahaha.
like always, i loved this video, thank you!
Thanks, Valen!
Great reaction! The music in this one always reminds me of the Never Ending Story song as well.
Thanks!
Ok, watching people appreciate Taylor is my roman empire! Your calming voice makes you one of my favorites right now! Just subscribed! ❤
Thanks, Anna! Welcome to the channel!
By the end of the year you will become a swiftie hahahha, more reactions to Taylor's songs 🎉
More on the way!
I absolutely loved watching you genuinely smiling and enjoying this video! So much of what you’ve watched from Taylor has been more serious and it’s just fun seeing you having fun!
Thanks, Lynn! Glad you enjoyed it.
Don’t blame me live from the reputation tour is amazing! I’d also love to see you react to loml :))
I think you would love some of her live performances. I would suggest "Don't Blame Me" from the Reputation Tour, "Intro + Ready For It" from Reputation Tour (the entire Reputation Tour is available to watch)... for something more recent, I'd suggest "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me" from the Eras tour (the staging of it to fit into the "witch" theme is pretty spectacular, & it's definitely a fan favorite from her latest album).
Thanks, Jonathon. Gonna do one of those soon. Who's Afraid sounds very interesting.
@IzzyIzenstain Only problem you may run into with "Who's Afraid..." is that most available videos are recorded by fans on cell phones - so, while the visuals are captivating, the audio is not ideal (crowd noise &/or distortion). It also is a condensed version of the song (since her Eras Tour basically covers 10 albums over 3 1/2 hours, she shortens or combines some selections). Your best bet may be to do a reaction where you listen to the song first, then watch the live performance. 🤷♂️
The lyric video has more clips from the actual show. The beginning of the tour, Cruel Summer is a good one to start with for the Eras Tour. Also Champagne Problems, and Vigilante Shit. But they're all great.

Thanks, Amy! I'll do one of those soon.
Great video! Thanks for the reaction.
I think a nice song to listen to after I Can Do It With a Broken Heart is the song The Prophecy also from TTPD (her last album), because she talks about the reason why she was feeling so low, like, what was going through her mind to feel so depressed and her biggest fear at that time. And her writing in The Prophecy is really good too. Check out the lyric video.
Thanks, Ketlin! I'll check it out.
I've noticed that the younger generations are gutted by this song, while older people are inspired. I found that fascinating. I think us older people see it as a strength 💪 anthem. I know when I was younger and heartbroken, I'd take to my bed in the fetal position. Later in life, I'd pull my big girl panties up and get on with life. 😂
That is interesting, Lisa! Good on ya! Keep on fighting the good fight!
She is brilliant 😉
great reaction 💜💜💜💜
and I would love to see your reaction of the eras tour
Thanks! I'll do something from it soon.
If you’d like to watch a big stage production, (like what this video is about),check out her “Out of the Woods” performance from her 1989 tour live from Australia. She and her back up singers, the venue…it’s incredible. I wouldn’t steer you wrong on that. Another iconic big stage performance is “Don’t Blame Me” live from her Reputation tour. Just next level entertaining, and a chance to check out a bit of her older material. Couldn’t be more different than Long Pond studio Taylor, but incredible for sure. All her past performances, constantly honing her lyrical and vocal chops, have led her to where she is today. All that hard work you talked about!
Thanks! I've made a note of those.
Thanks for all the content Izzy!!😊
Thanks, for watching, Ana!
This looks like a rehearsal before the concert. Still great!
her band and dancers love her. That lilac skirt, Im gonna get you back, that damn matty probably upset her . Paul likes her, they were on Rolling Stone together,a lot of people relate to this song with every day jobs and lives
Her live performances at the Grammys museum in 2015 are amazing!
I've made a note of it. Thanks, Arielle!
You should watch her My Tears Richochet performance from the eras tour. And her TTPD set. Amazing showwoman!
I'll get to it, Carissa! Thanks!
Video footage gives me hope there's another movie with the TTPD portion added 🤞
That would be cool!
this is so attractive of you
Yes, I would love to see you react to some live performances! I would start with the Reputation Tour - these are iconic and must-watch for anybody newly aboard the Swift Train. I also thought your comparison to Robin Williams was pretty spot on - the masks we wear when forced to be functioning members of society.
- Intro + Ready For It
- I Did Something Bad
- Don't Blame Me (the BEST)
Thanks, Ivy!
So true about the work ethic. But also, there is an art to this that goes beyond that, imo.
I often think about something Taylor said in an interview, (paraphrased from memory) about how when she was coming up the music industry would just pick talented, eager teenagers, throw them in the deep end to wring as much value as possible from them, then when they get crushed or slowly figure out how to deal, they get replaced with the next new thing.
But that didn't happen with her, and I feel like people sometimes don't appreciate enough that she's found a way to stay in the game, and also make absolutely insane working conditions sustainable (for her). Like right now, she's doing a 2y tour where she has to be on point, reliably, for 3,5 hours up to 5 days in a row, emoting stories about her life, with thousands of eyes and cameras catching her every micro expression.
And she not only did that, flawlessly, but found a way to communicate what is going on with her internally, in real time - a way to add enough to the narrative so it remains authentic rather than rote, but crucially not by breaking or undermining it, eg with a sad interview. Instead, she wrote, recorded, released an intensely diaristic 31 song album, and integrated that into her ongoing tour. That's an insane artistic achievement!
In the song, she says, you gotta fake it til you make it - that's work ethic. But her making and then performing the song, as documented in the video, is something more - she already made it, there was no need for this, and it's the opposite of faking it. To me, that part is art, and I feel like, somehow, this is exactly what makes her life and career harder, but sustainable (for her).
and I would love to see you eventually watch and react to the eras tour!
I'll do something from it soon.
It would make sense if she had a little bit of Sir Paul’s sound as they’ve been almost like family for many years. She’s best friends with Stella McCartney. Sir Paul came to the Kelce Super Bowl where Taylor was just to say hello and give her a squeeze. He’s another father figure in her life and it’s really beautiful that she has such an icon to go to if she ever needs it. We don’t know if she ever has, but as you’ve pointed out, she does have some songs that give Beetles Vibes. Wouldn’t it be so fun to hear stories from his Beetles Days?? Oh to be a fly on the wall. I’ll bet they all have a really great time together. Stella is like her sister and I Sir Paul like her father. Sign me up. So cool. Jason and Ed Kelce were stunned to see him walk into the suite. They had not yet seen the level of fame that Taylor had up until that moment. It clicked and the 2 men were in awe of seeing him in person.
Taylor calls that slide under the stage a “rocket sled”. She made a short video about it and how fun it was. 😂
She is such a born entertainer. Where she shines is during her acoustic section of her concerts. She’s been mashing 2 songs together on guitar and then 2 songs mashed on piano. The results of the mashups are so beautifully done that you really wouldn’t know that they were two songs if you weren’t aware of her catalog. It’s a highly anticipated part of the concert to see what songs will be the acoustic surprise songs. Mind blowing how talented she really is. She can play 8-10 instruments and her songs all start off as acoustic as she’s writing them. So to hear them in their original form is really something special.
Please watch Death by a Thousand Cuts live in Paris by Taylor it’s a fabulous acoustic display!
Don’t Blame Me is another one from the reputation tour that is a masterpiece, but many of the Reputation Tour songs will show you a completely different side of Taylor than you have seen so far! This album was a clap back at all her haters and the media for trying to destroy her reputation!
Another Great live performance is False God from Saturday Night Live!
Taylor is known for creating songs in so many genres and as you dive deeper into her catalogue you will see this!
Thanks! I've made a note of these.
Great reaction, Izz! PLEASE, for a live stadium show, check out Intro+Ready for It as your intro! I'm sure about 50 others will say the same... :-)
Thanks, Timothy! I'll check it out.
@@IzzyIzenstain The way she turns “it” on, I’ll forget she’s the same person as the girl with a guitar. I don’t believe she’s a pop/country/folk etc star at all, I think she’s the greatest actress not called an actress, and her songs/stories are all a giant play we’re seeing in 3-10 minute acts…turn off the sound and the story is still all over her face, in her eyes, and movements. It’s brilliant.
I love this song and how it’s such a sad bop hahahaha The lyrics are heartbreaking (no pun intended) but the beat is so good 😂
Btw, I still think you’re missing out on Aurora’s incredible music but this is my last time mentioning it. I don’t want to be even more annoying 😂
I will get to it at some point. Thanks.
Please check out either her eras tour performance of the smallest man who ever lived (about the frontman of the 1975, Matty Healy) or who’s afraid of little old me 💕
Gonna do one of those very soon, Ashley.
@@IzzyIzenstain awesommmmme!!!! 😁
Hi! Please react to Taylor performing Out Of The Woods live at The Grammy Museum! You won’t be disappointed! It’s normally a faster beat, but she performs an acoustic version of this song on piano and it’s absolutely brilliant! Love your videos! 🫶🏻
Thanks, Brigette! I've made a note of it.
I think the effect you're talking about is called an arpeggiator
That’s it! Thanks!
❤
I think you should listen to illicit affairs long pond session. Or champagne problems from the eras tour. And if you can find LOML lyrically it is a gut punch
Thanks, Kath. I'll get to some of those soon.
You can compare her to all those showmen, but when did they ever have to perform for hours in a swimming costume and high heels?
I'm sorry, I know it has nothing to do with the video but your voice is very calm and relaxing. You should try doing ASMR. I think you would be very successful.😆
Glad to hear it, thanks! What kind of stuff would you recommend doing?
She and Joe Alwyn broke up two weeks or so before the tour started (and she does three or more months of rehearsals first). They got together in 2016, it was her longest relationship to date. When the tour started, some of the songs had her crying on the stage. She put it all out there every night anyway; fans paid for tickets. She has a very special relationship with her fans.
Some weeks later, she got into a rebound relationship with Matty Healy of the 1975 Some believe they were in a 10 year affair; personally, I think that's bullshit. It lasted about as long as her early relationships with Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, or John Mayer. I know they wrote some songs back a decade ago (weren't on the album, though); a friendly acquaintance being extrapolated into a decade long affair is reading too much into it, imo. Another way of slut shaming her (the media's standard way of dismissing her).
Love Taylor reactions.. but could you react to another legend George Michael? His rendition of The Long and Winding Road is the Best. He has so many great songs but I’m curious how you’ll like his version! Thanks
I'm already a big George Michael and Wham! fan, Debbie. Otherwise I would react to it. But, thanks!
@@IzzyIzenstain 👍🏻
Hey mate, the term you're searching for is arpeggiator!
Highly recommend checking out this tune without the vocal track. You can really hear how much work Jack Antonoff put into this production. It's soooo good: ua-cam.com/video/5dp_jMfa2Go/v-deo.html
That was it! Thanks! I’ll check it out.
