    All I want in a reactor is intelligence, good comprehension skills, humour and respect for the artist. You absolutely did not disappoint. For Taylor, this is about her losing out on the chance to buy her masters but it 100% works as a song about a victim of domestic violence who is lashing out at her abuser from the grave. I loved the theory that you came up with. Fantastic reaction.

      The symmetry of 'My tears' & "Teardrops on My Guitar" ...
      The angst (my tears) from having the masters of her songs including "Teardrops on My Guitar" sold out from under her ricocheting to eventually become the angst of having said masters devalued by her putting in the effort to re-record every jewel in her catalog.

  • @elizabeth5985
    @elizabeth5985 Рік тому +94

    The "death" in the song is a metaphor for what her old label did to her. The head of the label, Scott Borchetta, wouldn't sell her the masters to her albums (she had the money). He said she could "work off" the payment, meaning for every NEW album she made for his label, he would allow her to buy one album master. He was holding her music hostage. So she walked away and signed with a new label. And Scott Borchetta sold all of her masters to Scooter Braun, who had spent months bullying her online, which Borchetta knew. So Taylor is re-recording all of her old albums so that she owns the masters. So never stream an old song unless it says "Taylor's Version" on it. In this song, she says "And when you can't sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies." That is directly to Borchetta. If you re-listen to the song now, it allll makes sense. Thanks for loving the genius that is Taylor Swift ❤

    The Swifties are going to tell you the likely meaning of this song from Taylor’s perspective but I love the interpretation that it’s from a victim to her murderer. Really cool and spooky. I also like to think of it as from a wife to her ex-husband as they are going through a messy divorce. He tries to “bury” her metaphorically while still wearing the ring. He made her miserable and now he’s drunk on the pain and lashing out. It’s excellent storytelling and songwriting at the highest level!

    • @kelloneill74
      @kelloneill74 Рік тому +17

      It is absolutely so amazingly clever to have a song that can 100% be about so many different things. It's brilliant that it's about the whole masters situation and yet still tracks as a song about a ghost or an ex partner like you said. No interpretation is incorrect because they all fit.

      This song is about Scott Borchetti (CEO of Big Machine label which was her previous label.). Taylor and him were very close until he sold the company along with all her old record rights to Scooter Braun (who is a terrible person and manages Kanye who she’s had lots of issues with) despite knowing she wanted to own her music. So this song is about Scott and the breakdown of their relationship.

  • @swizzlee13

    i think this song is about scott borchetta (her old record label) the part that gives it away is the “when you can’t sleep at night you hear my stolen lullabies” cuz he betrayed her and sold her first six albums to scooter braun so we call her first six albums the stolen versions (idk if this makes sense)

    I find it amazing that you totally got how 'my tears ricochet' means she's crying, but he's crying too - on the first listen. I love this song and listened to it so many times without understanding this fundamental thing. It wasn't until I watched the Long Pond studio sessions on Disney+ that I got it because she adds one last line to the end of the song, which is not on the record - "Look at how my tears... are turning into your tears, look at how my tears ricochet." Suddenly the whole song makes sense to me. But you got it straight out of the box, bravo!

  • @carolann500

    Taylor writes with a lot of metaphors. She's not actually saying she's dead, their relationship is dead. Other commentators have already explained this below about Scott Borchetta, her manager from the beginning of her career when she was 15. His betrayal killed her soul. Loved your reaction, and I am looking forward to your reactions to all the songs on Folklore and Evermore!

    Imo, your interpretation is spot on. I don’t think that in the song he physically killed her, but just caused her so much pain that she either died of heartbreak or ended her own life. I think it’s one of her rawest, most incensed songs. And one of my all time favourites.

    @alina8829 Рік тому +25

    Yes, you got it right. And even tho I'm a swiftie, I've never got the meaning behind "my tears ricochet" but you interpreted this very well.
    As someone pointed out in the comments, it's about Scott Borchetta from her old record label whom she has known since she was 16. He sold the masters of her first 6 albums to Taylor's enemy Scooter Braun without telling her in the first place. Taylor discovered about this only from the news. She actually knew that Scott gonna sell her masters but she never imagined it would be this person. So she felt really bad because Taylor trusted Scott and he was to her like dad. So, "stolen lullabies" in the song means her stolen albums which she re-recording right now to again own her work because as we know Taylor writes her songs herself, with 2-3 co-writers sometimes, she puts a lot of effort into her work like any other artist, that's why she is so concern about it.
    As for now, she released the re-recordings of Red (2012) and Fearless (2008). In all re-recorded songs and albums she puts "Taylor's version" as she owns it.
    So, I really liked your reaction. You're one of the people who didn't say that this song is about "break up" specifically and I appreciate you for that. But, of course, the song can be interpreted to many things. But a lot of people have this "created narrative" that Taylor writes only about her exes and breakups, but in reality it's not true. She has a lot of songs that have other deep meanings and messages.
    I'd love it if you'll react to her entire album folklore which is an album my tears ricochet is from.

    The Long Pond Studios version of this is my favorite. Great song. And I loved your literal interpretation. She does this thing in songs like Getaway Car and Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince where it has a literal story, a personal story, and a metaphorical meaning all layered over each other, and I see a lot of Swifties just picking up the metaphor or the personal story while skipping over the literal narrative… But the magic to me is how she can make each piece complete enough that you don’t NEED the other layers to find something complex and meaningful. So I really liked hearing a solid analysis of the literal narrative piece. That was great.

    This about her old record label owner Scott Borchetta (who was like a second father to her) selling her masters to the guy (Scooter Braun) who was bullying her for years. Scooter Braun is the manager for Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande. Taylor said whenever the name scooter Braun escaped her lips she was crying and Scott witnessed all those moments. So for Scott to sell Taylor’s life work to her nemesis was a low blow.

    Nice rx!!!! MTR is a great song. I would say her best song on her latest album is called Wouldve Could’ve Shouldve. She’s 32 now. But at age 19 she was involved in a cringe relationship with a 32 yr old man. At age 19 she wrote a song Dear John asking “don’t you think I was too young”, but at age 32 she reflects back and says “no, I WAS too young”. Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve is everyone’s near fave on her latest album.
    Then I’d suggest Midnight Rain followed by the Great War.

    It is sad that she knew Scott since she was so young but they they allowed Scooter to mistreat her during this time, then when she had to go to another Co. they backstabbed her. She trusted Scott. They didn't have to make a deal with her masters until they talked to her. It was so heartless. Literally a death of a childhood relationship. The jewels/stolen lullabies are her songs. Home was Big Machine. Unresolved feelings, can't say to him how could you.

    The The song is about Scott Borrchetta selling her music to Sony after promising her that he would sell the catalog to her. He was the one who brought her into the industry. He also made a lot of money off of her and he betrayed her several other ways. Basically song is about the death of her Innocence in the industry And the fact that he did it and he's burying her while wearing jewelry she gave basically. T his Lin is show you how unrepentive he is , he is throwing her away while he is wearing things her money and the sale of her music got him. You can also hear this I still talk to you when I scream to this sky and when you can't sleep you listen to my stolen lullabies. The lullabies are her song Lyrics Is and how he stole her music out from under her and sold them To another company after promising her. This is why she is now recording her catalog over again with changes which make the copyright hers alone.

    The old Taylor is dead!!! She’s her own artist and own ownership rights now and so the past version is dead. And someone she loved betrayed her and sold her out. So sad
