She did the petition for the midterm elections. She talks a lot about this in her her documentary ”Miss Americana”. It was the first time she broke her political silence. She struggled a lot because her team didn’t want her but ahe did it anyways with support of her mom and publicist! This video is just so much fun and it’s a great song with a good message. Love you two in all your videos. Oh and btw taylor released a behind the scenes to the new video Fortnight. You two should check it out!
👍🏻A bit longer timeline than that. the midterms were 2018, during Reputation Tour. This (album and video) dropped the summer of 2019. The documentary covered both periods, but doesn't stress the passage of time from the album (2017), the tour (2018, mid terms), and her moving on to Republic Records ( later 2018) and her dispute with Big Machine (2018 +++). It was ongoing while filming but not included in the documentary. It all makes me re - interpret Reputation, and the videos: when she cut the wings off the plane in lwymmd, I think she was pre - announcing her departure and her cutting of ties with Big Machine; her clothes (Chainsaw Taylor) (pink and white floral print) look like an Easter Egg for the Lover album (as she says in the doc, she plans things two years out or more. . . . ) ❤
I love how your editing shows some extended silenced clips as you continue your commentary as a voiceover. Most reaction videos don't do that, but doing it adds to the quality of your reaction video. 💯 I also love how you're bringing more of your producer perspective into your commentary. 💯 And doing the behind-the-scenes was an awesome idea. 💯
I love her message of inclusion. She asked Todrick Hall to be co-producer. Not only has he appeared in her videos as a dancer, but he's an artist, singer in his own right. You should check out his collaboration with Pentatonix - Wizard of AHS... or his collaboration with SuperFruit - Black and White.
This is another of my favorite music videos. As you said, this is a very colorful music video like "Me!", and in this regard, I think it's 2nd to the awesome "Me!". Both are a feast for my ears, and for my eyes with their surreal concepts. Thanks for reacting to this music video and its behind-the-scenes, and the other Taylor Swift videos you've reacted to so far! 👍
Ahh loved your reaction guys ! 🥰 Such a pleasure discovering your channel ! Another Taylor's MV I would recommend to you : "All too well" the short film, AND the BTS (YES! She did it all!). 🤗💕 Love you guys, keep up the good work ! 🤍
The first time my teenage daughter said "you need to calm down"....I wish I knew this song. Four years ago, my response should have been " hey, are you okay" bc you're about to not be ok love bug! She did continue with "can you just stop" bc I was not aware of the the where her words were coming from. Fast forward, she's now 17 and I send her videos just for shits and giggles. She still asks me if I'm ok bc I send her so much content. "The Man" is super bad ass.
If you want another Taylor Swift music video that's packed with cameos, react to "Bad Blood" ua-cam.com/video/QcIy9NiNbmo/v-deo.html. It's a cinematic music video. It was filmed in LA. 😁 It's from "1989", but it seems to foreshadow "Reputation". An unofficial "Bad Blood" behind-the-scenes video is ua-cam.com/video/k38YWrRtefE/v-deo.html Some cameos are in ua-cam.com/users/shortsCsVGjekJCDQ or the full list can be found in the "Music Video" section of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Blood_(Taylor_Swift_song)
Katy Perry was there with Taylor as they had buried the hatchet from Katy lifting some of Taylor’s dancers for her tour and Taylor’s ire that that happened (see Bad Blood, the song). This was their announcement they were back to being friends. So much joy in this video!! Surprises at every turn! Such a cool video sharing the stage with so many queer people. It definitely made a big splash!
"most colorful since ME!" This was dropped a few months after ME!; second single of the album Lover. Lyric video dropped on June 12 (Donald Trump's birthday) and the music video dropped 3 days later (and the count on the dice on the table was the number of days until the Lover album dropped). The Lover cover on the phone was an Easter Egg --- she hadn't told anyone the album name at that point.
Both the sleep mask and the cat wristwatch (that has a "13" instead of "1") are more Taylor Swift store merch. Unfortunately, they sold out years ago. I have the cat wristwatch! 😊
Short answer: $250 to $300. Long answer (I removed external links to eBay and Mercari listings to try to keep UA-cam from automatically deleting this comment again): In her store page, I thought this cat wristwatch looked a bit junky, so I passed at its original price of $35...this price didn't help my impression, given that non-functional jewelry is priced like this there. But later, when I saw resale photos, it looked a lot better and I wanted one, but by then they were sold out. 🤦 This was January 2020, 5 months after the album was released, and it was reselling new for maybe $100, but actual selling prices for new were anywhere from $52 to $234 after adding in shipping. Like you, I was curious about current prices, so I searched...there's so few listed now. On eBay, the only one in the past 3 months is reported "Sold May 14, 2024" for $260.00 + $4.38 shipping. On Mercari, the only one is reported "Sold 5d ago" for $270.00 + 13.50 shipping. On Poshmark, I didn't see any now. If you have any more questions or comments, please don't hesitate. My answers won't all be this long, and if any are long, I'll try to remember to start with this "short answer...long answer" format. 🤭
Background on the long answer: While building my Taylor Swift merch collection, I learned a lot about buy-it-now and auctions. What I learned is that both sellers and buyers should research actual selling prices, and most sites have a way for you to see actual selling prices (not list prices). Selling prices vary widely, both within a site and across sites. For buy-it-now, what I learned is that items at the best prices will sell within 1 hour, so at my peak collecting, I'd search for them as frequently as every 15 minutes. For auction items at a site specifically like eBay, what I learned is that to get a lower price, it's best to refrain from bidding until literally the last few seconds...just make sure you're logged in, are familiar with the dialog boxes, enter the maximum price that you're actually willing to pay, proceed to the final dialog box where you would confirm your bid, and at 3 seconds remaining click the button to confirm submitting your bid. On eBay, you'll usually pay less than your bid (or your bid will be beat), because if your bid wins, you only pay the second-highest bidder's bid plus the bid increment (or a partial increment that doesn't exceed your bid). (It's actually quite different from an in-person type of auction.) For example, for the cat wristwatch, I bid $41.02 and this won it at $31, because the highest bid from all other bidders was $30 and the bid increment was $1. There is a huge caveat to this specific listing. It was titled "Taylor Swift Benjamin watch". As it should, eBay listed it in a generic "Taylor Swift" search (unquoted). But bizarrely, eBay didn't list it in a more-specific "Taylor Swift watch" search (unquoted). So, eBay didn't show this listing to potential buyers specifically looking for this watch and it had only 2 other bidders! It was so bizarre, and I've never noticed eBay doing this before or since. At the time, this $31 was the lowest selling price for any in the past 3 months. I half-expected the seller to cancel the sale, even though that's against eBay's rules, but they sent it to me. As I used resale sites more and more, I became interested in resale site rules, and the simple approaches most people have to selling or buying on resale sites. I've thought about creating a UA-cam channel and covering resale site game theory on it. Also, I'd like to get one of my brothers, a former Prince stan (and still a Prince fan) to do some first time Taylor Swift reaction videos...but I doubt I'll get that to happen. More channel content could be my Taylor Swift merch collection...I started with CDs, DVDs, and then tour books as a fan. As a swiftie, now I have collected 65 t-shirts, 15 hoodies, woven blankets, guitar pick sets, perfumes, pajamas, 1 Red letterman leather jacket, shoes, jewelry, towels, books, blank notebooks, posters, VIP boxes, etc.,...but now she has so much merch that I sorta gave up collecting more.
There’s new BTS of her Fortnight video out a few days ago. I think 2 short videos released on YT . I would hope more on the way, but perhaps worth checking that out as it’s current. Post Malone’s repeated “Yes Ma’am “ reply to her fun, pointed direction is great.
The five guys with Taylor are the Queer Eye reboot cast. The woman by the flamingos is Laverne Cox. Taylor started getting political after 2016 and she had to basically fight her entire team because they were worried it would alienate fans if she did. If anything, it made her even more popular.

I’ve only recently begun to listen to TS. She has made me a fan. This is a very clever mv and her word play is delightful.
She's one of the best at word play for sure. We agree - very delightful mv
Welcome to the Swiftie family, mate! ❤

Great reaction. Taylor is 5'11" and she loves wearing heels.
She is definitely tall

I love the Mom I Am a Rich Man that is a famous Cher to BWalters quote
One of my fav parts of the video!

Thank YOU for joining us as we continue to discover her. This was a FANTASTIC song and mv. Loved it!
Ahh loved your reaction guys ! 🥰
Such a pleasure discovering your channel !
Another Taylor's MV I would recommend to you : "All too well" the short film, AND the BTS (YES! She did it all!). 🤗💕
Love you guys, keep up the good work ! 🤍
Thank you!!! Yes, we have many, many more Taylor Swift stuff coming soon. All Too Well (BTS) is definitely one of them :)

You need to do this when she’s on tour. It’s better cuz you got the crowd in it.
Katie Perry cameo was to show fans there is no beef between them and to show that women pop artist can support each other

Awesome info! Thank you
Adam Lambert was giving Ellen the tattoo
OMG. How did we miss this. Fun Fact: Scott played as Adam Lambert in a skit for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Taylor is amazing talented and tall. She is 5' 11" And Travis Kelce is 6' 5" . Such a gorgeous and talented couple
Both the sleep mask and the cat wristwatch (that has a "13" instead of "1") are more Taylor Swift store merch. Unfortunately, they sold out years ago. I have the cat wristwatch! 😊
