For the past 20+ years, I've listened mainly to Metal and Video Game music. My wife on the other hand, is a Swiftie. One of her biggest bucket list items was seeing Taylor live. With the Eras Tour coming to Europe, that dream is now becoming a reality. And I'll be going with her!
In the spirit of this, I've been challenged by her to become a Swiftie by May 2024. That's in 300 days.
I've heard a lot of Taylor Swift songs around the house and in the car, but I've never really PROPERLY listened to her music. Hearing it and listening to it are two very different things after all.
I also do a lot of video game content and streams over at / dadplaysgames
Please subscribe to me over there too and watch some of that! You'll find anything from streams of games, opinion pieces, reviews and even a podcast about video game music!
She sang this song as a suprise song and the Fans did the duet with her. She sang "you never gave a warning sign" and the Fans sang "I gave so many signs" and then taylor joined in it sounded so beautiful
Sounds lovely! Looking forward to experiencing her live in person
@ me too 🥹 exactly 11 months to go for me
Seems like you're definitely be a Folklore/Evermore fan. That's how I started
Same! I liked her before but wasn’t a real fan until folklore/evermore. I finally saw her lyrical talent and gained an appreciation for her former albums as well.
He's wearing a mask because this was deep in lockdown and he had strangers in the room filming and doing sound.
yeah this is definitely one of her best colab
Yeah this is why so many people are doing TS reaction videos - there is high demand, so they get views & followers. But your account is very genuine, many are not.
I think the trick with any good UA-cam channel is doing it for yourself first. I'd do it even if I got 0 views, because it's fun to do and because I want to do it. The second you try to do it for fame, money or similar, the content suffers ☺️ at least, that's what's motivated me with both my channels. Passion to do it for the sake of doing it and my own creative outlet
💜💜💜 “holdin all this love out here in the hall.” 💜💜💜 If that line does not make your soul hurt just a little, you may not be human
Bon Iver wrote and performed Skinny Love made popular by Birdy. His name is Justin Vernon and Bon Ivar is a french phrase meaning good winter. I LOVE this colab with Taylor, its a heartbreaking song!
Edited to add I'm SO enjoying your transformation to a Swiftie!! Dont stop!
Yes at the Birdy mention!! Her covers are haunting. ❤
no matter how many times i hear this my eyes start to water the first time they hit the call and response at the bridge. such a beautiful song 💜
Usually I don't like Taylor's collaborations and I prefer her albums to be solos but their voices harmonize so beautifully I became addicted. They also have other songs together, the alcott is one of my favorites.
I love your story so far and how you say "to become a swiftie" i think we all know you're there ahaha
Yeah, I probably am.... 🫣🫣🫣
Congrats on getting over 1,000 subs. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Taylor collab video.
that song is perfection
Folklore and Evermore were made and released within months of each other in 2020
Taylor made them bc she was bored & felt creative 😂❤
Also, Justin Vernon’s (Bon Iver) always sounds that good. It’s not the mask. 😄👍❤️
Pls react to the song evermore! The album itself is amazing.
You know it’s a good song when you find yourself just staring. I really love Folklore, it came at the perfect time during the pandemic 🩶
I was just about to hunt to see if you’ve done Exile and it showed up in my feed. I haven’t watched yet. I can’t wait! Just wanted you to know that we appreciate your voice. We want the world to love and admire and respect Taylor as much as we do. ❤
you HAVE to do the long pond sessions on folklore!!! it’ll change your life! and evermore next!
like the whole thing and make a big video on it hahahahah
Hahaha I probably should. I wonder if it can be done live without being blocked and taken offline
Ugh. I LOVE these two together. This is one of my favs
I love that you are doing this with your wife its very touching. I know this would be a very long react video but you could do this with your wife and edit it down to the best moments but I am going to recommend you watch her documentary Miss Americana it will give you insight it to more about her and what she is made of.
Love your swifty journey. You may like Renegade from Big Red Machine, another excellent Taylor Collab with Justin Vernon
Thanks! Must be pretty cool to collab with her as an artist! 😅
I remember exact place I was the first time I ever heard exile. It came on a recommended song on Spotify during a bad day at work. I listened to it on repeat. It’s what got me really hooked on folklore when it came out.
I heard it on either Blacklist or You.... had no clue who it was, but immediately looked it up & has been one of my favorite songs ever since.
I love watching your Swift journey!!! I’m so excited to watch every single reaction you drop!!! Congratulations on the numbers!!!🥰💙🙏🏻
I wish they would a documentary on the long pond sessions. Such incredible music.
Love this journey for you!
And I love doing it with everyone 🥰
same here. as a lifelong metalhead who has been a swiftie since her first album i love seeing others like me find the beauty in her music. one of the best moments i’ve had lately was at Download Festival walking back from seeing Metallica night one and participating in a Taylor Swift singalong with thousands of metalheads 😍 if Adam from freakin Lorna Shore can admit he listens to her, i don’t wanna hear any nonsense from anyone else in the community. i was pretty surprised, actually, to find out how many other hardcore metal fans love both her and ed sheeran 😃
I’m so sad that it’s over already. 😂😂Can’t wait for your next one!
Taylor features on a couple tracks (listen to Renegade !!), on the Big Red Machine album "How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last? "
Bon Iver (borrowed from the French, bon hiver (good winter) -- bc he's from Wisconsin, which borders Canada; a joke on bon jour, or bon voyage, or bon soir). The name is a musical project (and touring band) of Justin Vernon. In addition to Bon Iver, Vernon has also gotten some recognition/awards for a joint project with Aaron Dessner called Big Red Machine (don't confuse that with Taylor's old record label). Big Red Machine was in the process of a new record when the pandemic hit; it was put on hold. Then, Taylor contacted Aaron Dessner of The National, to ask if he'd do something with her, since all her shows had been cancelled. He sent her a huge amount of music at 9 PM; at 2 AM she sent back Cardigan. In 3 months, they wrote, produced, and released folklore. The live performance was filmed later, in September; it is still available on Disney+ (unlike the film of her concert in Paris). And, in December, they released a second album, Evermore; largely written while doing the filming.
The album versions differ a great deal from this live version, because Taylor and Justin both like layers and layers of vocal harmonies; and Aaron's twin, Bryce, was roped in to do additional orchestral additions on the albums. There were a lot of guest musicians, who had no idea that they were working on a Taylor Swift album, because they were recording wherever; she included the names of the different studios in the album credits (much to the delight of the studio owners!)
The Long Pond Studio Sessions film was directed, and produced by Taylor; Justin filmed his part during the day, in Eau Claire (his personal studio) while Taylor, Jack, and Aaron were staying at Aaron's place in upstate New York. What is in the video was filmed at night, so obviously not synced live. So, however many takes it took, they could take time to hit it right (but both are very good anyway, so it probably wasn't too much effort to lay one over the other). She dropped in on one of his live shows later, and they did it with his band. People were really hoping he'd be a guest on her tour, but hasn't happened (yet).
Maybe he'll drop by Sweden! 😅
Just sharing with people who might get it but I spent half of my therapy session today talking about Taylor. My therapist called it a good coping skill. 😎😎😎
😂😂 love it
A "Delicate" sound? I see what you did there ... 😏
6:15
Ok, maybe not. XD
🤣
If you liked Taylor and Bon Iver (his real name is Justin Vernon) in this song you may like the song evermore. It’s the last song on the standard version of the album evermore. Justin usually sings in his higher register and not in this baritone, most people were very pleasantly surprised to hear the change, but in evermore he uses his usual tone which as I said is much higher, but it’s just as beautiful a song.
Renegade (Big Red Machine) & The Alcott (The National) go well with the Exile.
Evermore, Coney Island & Birch (BRM) other collaborations
If you're enjoying the Folklore tracks, maybe you should try sitting down and watching all of the Long Pond Studio Sessions in one go? There are interviews between the songs where you can get to know her and her songwriting process a little bit, or at least what she was going for with some of the tracks. I think it's really enjoyable to watch.
Originally, I didn't like "exile" all that much; I usually prefer her solo songs, and Bon Iver is the one who wrote the bridge in this collaboration, which meant it didn't have that hook-between-the-ribs feeling a lot of her bridges give me. Still, it grew on me after rewatching Long Pond enough times, haha.
It says you have 1k subscribers now, so congrats!! I think we're all enjoying your videos a ton. I'm always excited to see you've posted.
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!
I'll have to find a good slot in my schedule to do a live one of all the Long Pond! Sounds like a blast!
@ Ooh, a live! I hope I'm available if you stream it live; that sounds like great fun.
@@MoyaoftheMist live is always a lot of fun ☺️ sonim sure I'll do several over the coming months
I just subscribed! Love your reaction videos and how you are doing this for and with your wife! I grew up listening to Taylor swift since I was 8, (I’m 22 now) I love her albums and she really doesn’t care all that much about the money. She LOVES writing songs, her fans, and she just loves to perform. I would recommend reacting to”Christmas Tree Farm” because it shows clips of her growing up just like any other little kid.
Doing it for the passion of doing it, will always make better art than doing it for money or fame. It shows she loves doing it 🥰
Please listen to Picture to Burn or Oh My My My (Mary’s Song) from her first album. It’s the most country album ❤
For anyone who loves this song I recommend the cover with Jodie Mellor
What hurts me about this song is that I adore his deep register, but when I went to check out his other music, it's almost all the higher, airier vocals. Still beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I would love more of the deeper vocals. I want more of this, really, but it seems incredibly difficult to find.
React to evermore (title track)!!
You need to hear these songs on the actual album… you are missing some of the subtleties that make some of the lyrics more powerful. In this song, Justin actual wrote the bridge!
I'll add both to my chores-playlist! 😊
