okay so the army of robot models was a reference to the "squad" in 1989 era & how the media bashed her for having a bunch of beautiful famous friends as if they were an elite clique
listen Emma, this was THE era! I can't even explain how it felt to be a swiftie back in 2016-17 when the rest of the world hated her. it was legit so exhausting to listen to everyone around you talking shit about her 24/7 as if they even knew why they were talking shit, to begin with. and I can't even imagine how Taylor must have felt in those years god... look what you made me do and the rest of rep, was such a power move, truly! I also remember her posting these incomplete images of a snake (that made up one whole pic in the end, you know how insta aesthetics work hehe) when she was teasing her comeback. wow, this era was such an emotional rollercoaster.
This was so true. I even remember my relative saying it such a disgusted way "why do you EVEN DEFEND her?". And now I already know that if you try to talk to her about it she wouldn't even remember she did that. People who weren't legit swifties couldn't believe that Kim Kardashian and Kanye would manipulate the story because they had "evidence". Sigh.
Other Easter Eggs: RIP Nils Sjoberg gravestone; MET gala dress in grave; symbolic 1 dollar in bath; many people think the car crash is a reference to Katy Perry, but I think it's a commentary on fame; the birdcage is reference to 'gold cage hostage to my feelings' lyric and also the giant birdcage in her Nashville apartment, as well as her beliefs about fame (see Lover era diary entries);the stream Co scene is a reference to her withholding her music from streaming for years; the model U is a reference to her 'squad' of model friends that she got criticised for; the I heart TS t shirt is a reference to the Tom Hiddleston 4th July incident; the T in the mountain of Taylor scene is like a crucifix; she is holding the motorcycles up (logo of Big Machine Records) because she's carrying Big Machine (ie most of their revenue is from her); the dress you thought was wildest dreams is the 2014 MET gala dress, which she's wearing in the grave at the beginning (it represents old Taylor).
My greatest accomplishment is that I was waiting for this when it came out. Everything from her disappearing, to suddenly deleting her social media clear, the cryptic snake videos, and then this. It was legit like a storm in pop culture, everyone was obsessing over it.
also it was widely theorized that each Taylor in the lineup at the end correlates with a track on reputation, since there's 15 of them including the one standing on the plane in the back who represents the real Taylor/New Year's Day. Taylor liked a Tumblr post about it so it's most likely true
I will never forget watching this video when it dropped live on the awards and going just absolutely feral. No one could handle it, Twitter and Tumblr broke, I think I had to watch it another 3 times before my brain caught up with what was happening. And then another thousand times to catch every fucking frame lmao I loved it then and love it now
I love that you felt like your life is gonna change after watching the video because watching this LWYMMD for the very first time was one of the moments in my life I wanna relive. That day was so surreal. And I agree, LWYMMD isn't the best song on reputation but it is the best song for her to come back with during that era.
Video release day was an actual cultural reset for most of us because the whole world was waiting for Taylor's comeback -- yes the WHOLE WORLD, including the same people who "cancelled" her. This video broke a YT record organically, it was insane.
The Taylor in the light pink dress is her from the 2014 met gala! It’s my favourite red carpet look of her🙊 And the ‘marching band’ Taylor (I think it’s supposed to be a circus director outfit or something like that but I’m not sure) is from the red tour when she performed we are never ever getting back together💗 And I remember the day the song/music video came out so well (the song came out three days earlier than the music video) I had summer holidays and since I live in Germany I got up at 6am to listen to the song and watch the music video, I was so excited and honestly just really shocked because I did not expect this at all! It really was a wild time back then🥲
I remember the first time watching the music video. My eyes were popping out of my head and my jaw was on the floor. Taylor Swift is brilliant singer / songwriter. I love how she pretended to be what people were saying about her during this album because it ended up giving her more power and control over her own narrative.
A good vid to watch for an Easter egg breakdown is Lauren Lipman's decoding video. She goes in depth on everything and gives a lot of background on all things TS
I absolutely felt like you did when I watched it back in the day! And totally agree about how the video makes the song better. I remember listening to the song at midnight before the video was released and was like “what the heck did I just listen to” not bad or good, just confused hahaha but when I saw the video and then later heard the whole album I was like, no other song could have delivered this video and the video is SO iconic. I LOVE that very last section where she’s talking to herself. GENIUS.
I remember when I saw that she was going to release that, I remember waiting for my English class. I got so confused. I love how Taylor can always change her music genres and she knows how to promote her songs. SHE IS ICONIC
I watched this video when it dropped with my mouth just wide open. The mountain of old Taylors really got me, and the song itself was just so different for her. Such an insane thing to have been able to experience as it happened.
This video is packed full of easter eggs. She even said it would take years for us to find some of them. But the REP era is my favorite. It was such a great time to be alive. She was standing up for herself and taking crap from no one. Done with writing "I forgive you" songs for people who didn't deserve it. It's still my favorite album. I hated the song when I first heard it. But I hadn't caught up on all of the tea because I was in college. Knowing what I know, it's such a great clap back. And one of the theories is that she had a different album planned and then the kayne/kim receipts thing happened so she scrapped it to write rep. Which is why the wings are cut off of the plane, and reputation is spray painted on it. "look what you made me do, I had to write this whole damn album just for you"
I remember watching this a couple times a day non stop for the whole entire week and watching all the videos (reactions and theories) about it. And I found new easter eggs and theories with each watch. Everyone was talking about it. It was THAT iconic. I feel like even people who dislike taylor or dislike this particular song watch this mv. It was launched on mtv vmas too if I remember correctly (or some other big award show) as an intro to the show.
she honestly took my breath away when I first watched the video, but I definitely didn’t pick up every reference at first! lauren lipman does a really good breakdown of the Easter eggs 😍 also the Christmas part made sense to me girl
Oh the adrenaline was ridiculous the first time I saw this my jaw was on the floor! I only became a big fan during 1989, and then shit went down and she completely understandably disappeared and it was heartbreaking(and I went back and listened to her entire discography lol). But she came back with this?!... And it was my first year of university and so it just such a highlight era/time for me. She made the joke her own in such an iconic way, and it's crazy that most people still don't really get that the whole album is basically a blank space parody of what the media thought she was, but hints and then ends with real Taylor threading through the album. She made the joke he own, and only those who listen all the way through the album get what the star truly is. But I remember laughing and also wanting cry for her after this video because I was so proud if how SMART her spin was so and I was like... they legit can't talk shit anymore. Period. I think what's most wild to me is easter eggs that she knew we wouldn't get until now, years later. She'd said that fans hadn't gotten all of them and we were like ??? I used to take the golden cage was the industry/media/fake/industry success holding her captive as we watched, but I now think it's about her record label holding her captive in her deal, caging her in, and her lifting the motor bikes... quite literally "carrying big machines", the way she carried the big machine record label... knowing we wouldn't get it for YEARS until Lover?!?! She literally told us. I also love the real Taylor on the airplane painting reputation in pink and cutting off the wing. Like she was ready to launch into the next era, pink fun happy lover, and wasn't even able to take off. But you should definitely watch some videos that explain easter eggs, it's fun to look for them but it's fun to just know because some are hard to find (and I still think we haven't found them all tbh, I don't trust Taylor at all ha).
Literally Emma I remember waking up to watch the lwymmd video when it came out and the goosebumps and shock I felt watching this was amazing I always say this is my fave era honestly.
i loose my mind whne i saw it at the vmas night and when she kil a the old taylsor i was shooked i can not bekive it and then i was so proud after the 2016 cruel summer thath she and all of us swifties lived
I remember I saw the premier of this video at some award show, I wasn't aware of the 2016 feud with K&K, I recently had finished all her music videos and wanted more from her 😂, so I followed her on insta and I was like, wait... Why is it empty? Why hasn't she released music? 😂 And I actually got to see the snake teasers, so by the time I knew Taylor was premiering this video I was already excited, I think this was what made me a Swiftie, Iconic queen 👑 💕😌👌
omg I always used to think “I’m about to enter the chapter of my life after watching this” in the cinema before each new twilight and hunger games movie lmao!
Oh yeah! I was shook after my first watch and I absolutely spent the next like hour just rewatching it!! You def missed quite a few Easter eggs, but I hope you see them all soon!
LMFAAAOOO my mum is so scared of snake she can't look at them so i edited the music video so that there was a tiny Jafar over each snake that popped up hahaha
I don’t know if your still taking suggestions but if you want a really good vocal performance from her you should watch we are never getting back together from the 1989 world tour. She went totally rock on it
4:53 I never noticed this. Could someone please explain that to me ? I also can't understand what Emma said exactly in this part lol (English isn't my first language, sorry)
The GP started really hating Taylor after she won the Grammy for aoty over kendricks TPAB so I think the scene with the car crash is how it all started going bad after the Grammys until finally her whole career crashed and how it was heavily publicized and scrutinized.
okay so the army of robot models was a reference to the "squad" in 1989 era & how the media bashed her for having a bunch of beautiful famous friends as if they were an elite clique

Im a 45 yr old woman an I believed her every time x
This was so true. I even remember my relative saying it such a disgusted way "why do you EVEN DEFEND her?". And now I already know that if you try to talk to her about it she wouldn't even remember she did that. People who weren't legit swifties couldn't believe that Kim Kardashian and Kanye would manipulate the story because they had "evidence". Sigh.
When this came out the Internet exploded, as it should for a new Taylor drop 😍

+
Her holding the motor cycles up is a reference to Kim and Kanye in the Bound 2 music video
Also each dancer represents an ex of hers and how the media said that they did everything she said and that she was in control over them

the 'wow' at the end was literally me at 5am when i stayed up to watch it when i first came out omg screaming
the most ICONIC comeback

I remember when I saw that she was going to release that, I remember waiting for my English class. I got so confused. I love how Taylor can always change her music genres and she knows how to promote her songs. SHE IS ICONIC
I am a Metalhead and I admire Taylor Swift for her songwriting.
This video literally changed my life. Truly the best music comeback of all time
I watched this video when it dropped with my mouth just wide open. The mountain of old Taylors really got me, and the song itself was just so different for her. Such an insane thing to have been able to experience as it happened.

HER BEST VIDEO!!
I remember I saw the premier of this video at some award show, I wasn't aware of the 2016 feud with K&K, I recently had finished all her music videos and wanted more from her 😂, so I followed her on insta and I was like, wait... Why is it empty? Why hasn't she released music? 😂 And I actually got to see the snake teasers, so by the time I knew Taylor was premiering this video I was already excited, I think this was what made me a Swiftie, Iconic queen 👑 💕😌👌
Never was a fan of this song but the mv was so🔥 the car crash with the grammy is my favorite part😂
Taylor is so strong
I'm a new-ish swiftie too, so I just have lots of albums to binge 🤍
I’m here for it
omg I always used to think “I’m about to enter the chapter of my life after watching this” in the cinema before each new twilight and hunger games movie lmao!
Oh yeah! I was shook after my first watch and I absolutely spent the next like hour just rewatching it!! You def missed quite a few Easter eggs, but I hope you see them all soon!
LMFAAAOOO my mum is so scared of snake she can't look at them so i edited the music video so that there was a tiny Jafar over each snake that popped up hahaha
also why did i cry watching this? the mv is too powerful
I don’t know if your still taking suggestions but if you want a really good vocal performance from her you should watch we are never getting back together from the 1989 world tour. She went totally rock on it
When your favorite youtuber who isn't a beauty guru is better at makeup than an actual beauty guru. Just sayin.
I agree
she should start doing make up tutorials
subscribed. now im expecting alot of taylor from you
This comeback broke the internet.

would love to see your reaction to the decoding of easter eggs and also the behind the scenes bc that zombie look was not CGI it was all make up

The $1 she charged and won off a harassment lawsuit :>
The GP started really hating Taylor after she won the Grammy for aoty over kendricks TPAB so I think the scene with the car crash is how it all started going bad after the Grammys until finally her whole career crashed and how it was heavily publicized and scrutinized.
