I agree 💯 & I hope that they continue also. Not gonna lie, I'm crushing on one of these guys. I'm not being specific on purpose. lol 😉 😊 Just in case, I don't want any drama.😊🤐
One of my fave songs from her. “You’ll find the real thing instead, she’ll patch up the tapestry that I shred” gets me choked up every time. She turned a tragic situation into something beautiful and put it in a song.
one of my favourite things about this song is the fact that it says "till someone's on their KNEES." KNEES, plural. which means he's not on one knee, proposing, he's on his KNEES begging her not to leave him. makes that part hit so much harder and absolutely destroys me.
"sometimes you gotta be the villain to be the hero in your own life" is so wise and my favorite part of the video. This song is more fictional than autobiographical, as far as we know, but I recommend Midnight Rain from Midnights as the next song. It's a similar situation off an album that was promoted as largely autobiographical. I love the reactions, hope you continue!!
I loved when he said that. That reminds me of a similar quote, “You remain the hero of your own story, even when you become the villain of someone else's".
I really hope people would just stop connecting her songs to real people. She's a songwriter and she HAS to write things bit more dramatical and exaggerate some things. But she can't even go off on a track without people bashing her.
She said that before, but at every concert now before she plays champagne problems she talks about how she needs to play it as catharsis for something she went through And Midnight Rain has basically been confirmed to be part 2 of Back to December about Taylor Lautner. Taylor Lautner and his wife have confirmed Back to December and hinted at Midnight Rain on their podcast
Champagne problems actually means just problems that are seen as socially really insignificant but to her they are big issues. That’s the irony in the song 😭♥️
Champagne is also associated with engagement and it sounds like he was going to propose and no one supported it. Then she felt like she proved them all right when she left him.
You need to listen to the Trilogy…Cardigan, August and Betty. I’ll defer to my fellow Swifties for the best listening order. Taylor is a master(mind) storyteller. She really makes you visualize with her music.
This song is not about herself, it’s from the Evermore album, which is a story telling album, so it’s a song written from the perspective of a girl who said no to her partner who proposed to her
have you heard the theory that she told us they were all made up stories but actually it is what she was going through with Joe? like he wanted to be married and she was hesitant? and this song describes her fears... Interesting to think about now that everything has transpired
Evermore is not purely an album about fictional characters as evidence by the song "Marjorie" which is about her Grandmother. She has cited this is a fictional song but I feel like this is based on a relationship she had.
"sometimes you gotta be the villain to be the hero in your own life" is SUCH a good piece of wisdom and i loved y'all's reaction so much. seriously, can't stop smiling like a fool after watching y'all dance along to this.
KEEPING THE SWIFTIES FEDDDDD ♥️ My personal interpretation on this is that she's taking what's meant to be "rich people problems" and twisting it to mean, the problems surrounding this celebration of a proposal and also her mental health. She jokes that her dorm was made for her because it was once a madhouse, and later people say "what a shame she's fucked in the head". Champagne sounds like "sham pain", as in the sort of denigration and stigma surrounding poor mental health. So like, she feels like everyone else does about this rejection - that she's messed in the head for refusing to take what seems to be a loving relationship any further. She can't even give a reason for why she doesn't want to, she just knows it's the right decision. So she says "hey, you'll find someone better, real love, and you won't remember this or all the problems I caused you for reasons I cannot even explain to you"
I didn’t intrepret it that way. I think being rich and happy & even being let down by a beautiful person is still a “champagne problem” compared to other things going on in the world. Champagne means youre going to celebrate something, but there’s no celebration here. There is only mourning and a little self-pity that comes after every break-up; and self-pity can be seen as a “champagne problem”. But TS writes that it will get better for this person one day.
I love watching rap fans react to taylor cuz they always catch the lyrics and stories so quick. So many people get the mood right away but dont catch on till later or after other fans tell them, which is fine, but alot of rap fans could give a whole lesson on her lyrics after only one listen. ❤
This has made my night!! Folklore and Evermore were heavily fictional albums. She actually wrote this song with her long-term (now ex, sadly) boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. You should try Tolerate It or Happiness from Evermore, too!
Getaway car tells an amazing story, the last great American dynasty is an amazing story aswell and it has nothing to do with her love life.. this girl wrote a song about her house and it’s history 😮💨 invisible string is really good it’s about all the coincidences that came before she met her then boyfriend Joe Alwyn, no body no crime goes CRAZY amazing story and crazy plot line.. really hard to choose but these are some of her best song lyrically aside from the ones y’all have already touched on. Beautiful songs 😮💨
You have incredible taste. I’m just getting back into Taylor Swift’s music and I often go through comments for suggestions too. Her discography is intense.
This song has such a sad meaning. When looking at the lyrics Taylor describes a couple that meet up one day. One has brought a ring insinuating they want to marry the other, whilst the other arrives intending to end the relationship. My favourite little comment is “knees” instead of “knee” it implies that the person proposing is on both knees begging the other to accept which is just a heartbreaking depiction in my opinion. Plus “Midas” is a mythological king that ended up dying due to his greed as everything he touches turned to gold so he ended up starving as he was unable to eat. She is basically saying that for one the relationship was fruitful and and rewarding (the person with the ring) whilst for the other it didn’t feel enough they were starving in the relationship. An interesting idea and lesson that a relationship will never work if one person in it feels as thought they need more.
Taylor has 2 storytelling albums: Folklore and Evermore. These albums for the large part aren't about her life, they're songs she wrote in the perspective of other people or characters that inspired her. Either from books she read or movies she watched or just friends' anecdotes, whatever inspired her to write, she used towards songwriting.
i recommend you listen to this 3 songs in the folklore album which is related to each other. The songs are Betty, August, Cardigan So there are three people involved in this who is sort of in a love triangle. James who is in a relationship with Betty but he cheated with her. August was the other girl he cheated on with Betty. So the songs: Betty was James’ perspective August was Augustine’s Perspective Cardigan was Betty’s Perspective
The phrase "champagne problems" here have many different meanings all at once. Yes, champagne problems are usually "rich people problems" but it is also used here for describing problems that people find insignificant and trivial, so that is why she keeps saying that after every sentence. So his hometown sceptics also finds all their problems insignificant and not really problems at all. Champagne problems also can mean literal alcohol problems, so she hints the female charachter might have problems with that and her mental health (hence "Madhouse, it´s made for me") That is also why he won´t remember all her champagne problems, both "insignificant" problems and mental. This is a fictional story btw.
She wrote this with her boyfriend Joe Alwyn at the time whom she dated for 7 years. He wrote the song with her under the pseudonym - William Bowery. Although it's never been talked about, I think this was his experience, where he proposed to a girl (before Taylor) who turned him down. So, Taylor put the story to music.
The comments for this song say that it’s about the story of someone who wanted to end the relationship (the girl) and one who brought a ring (the guy), so they both had very different expectations of how the night was going to go
This song was cowritten by her now ex boyfriend of almost 7 years Joe Alwyn. They loved listening to sad breakup songs and they created this masterpiece together. He also wrote the piano in the beginning as well. Watching her sing this at the Eras Tour was heartwrenching as its taking on a whole new meaning i think for her. You could feel and see the pain in her face and voice. They actually cowrote several songs together on i think 3 albums. He is listed as William Bowery. Its a beautiful song. She is so incredibly talented. I truly enjoy watching, hearing your reactions to her music. Great job as always guys!
i’ve been watching yall reaction to taylor lately and i love how you guys genuinely pay attention to it and don’t exaggerate them at all 🫶🏻 thats just how you enjoy musics anyway. keep up!! looking forward for more
that's the thing people generalise taylor with... she isn't all just love and heartbreak! she has soooo many songs self-reflecting when she's in the wrong or things she's done to hurt people. you know, nobodies perfect and no one is ever really a saint forever and i love that she makes music about that too. PLS LISTEN TO AFTERGLOW!!!! and even like anti-hero or back to december.
Pleaseee react to the "I did something bad" performance on her Reputation tour, you really get to see another side to Taylor on that whole album and on the tour, and the message behind that entire album and the song is so powerfull and kinda sad with everything she had to go through in the year before she dropped the album.
'Sometimes you just don't know the answer till someone's on their knees and asks you.' Usually you propose on one knee, but he was on his knees because he was begging her. The title is such an irony, because for them her rejecting him felt like the end of the world, but for the town people it was just champagne problems (problems that, when compared to issues of poverty, natural disasters, and war, are not that big of a deal. It also usually refers to rich people, whose biggest problems are which champagne to choose). For those people her rejecting his proposal was not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but for them it was everything.
Worth noting the plural “knees” in the bridge because it means not only was the person proposing to the narrator but he was begging her to stay with him and she still refused. So subtle but I love the depth it adds!
Yay, so glad you guys reacted to this! Soooo many good ones from Folklore and Evermore, but if you wanna change it up, I did something bad, and Don’t Blame live versions are amazing. Plus her singing Death by a thousand cuts in Paris is goosebumps!!!!
I love how you say her songs are like tv shows or movies! I highly recommend listening to Tis the Damn Season (this one is pretty much a christmas hallmark movie in 4 minutes and i LOVE it), Right Where You Left Me, Coney Island, The 1, Death by A Thousand Cuts, Cruel Summer, The Great War... And so many more but the above mentioned are some of my all time favorites, they are so beautifully written
The both of your reactions always make my day. If I can suggest: illicit affairs, mad woman, OR you're losing me, which I believe you can still find on UA-cam
Watching you unravel the story was so fun. And I love how you said you have to be the villain to be the hero in your own story. We will never know for sure if this song is really about her turning down a proposal from Joe, but either way she’s the hero of her story.
You guys have become my favorite UA-cam channel. Love love love your reactions! Y’all should do happiness from evermore or Hoax from folklore!!! Such beautiful songs
Her songs Maroon and Midnight Rain off of her latest album are great pieces of storytelling and have some serious bars. If you liked Champagne Problems, you will love both of these!
Love, love, LOVE you guys reacting to Taylor. You're so dead on, please keep going thru her music with us. My faves to recommend: Back to December, exile, tolerate it, happyness - are more emotional hard hitters. Then go on to her fun stuff blank space, wildest dreamss, love story, mine. So many to pick from. I'd love to watch you guys react to them all. You guys are great.
The comment that basically sometimes you have to be the villain in someone else's story to be the hero in yours hit me hard! I never thought of it that way when I've had to drop friends because it wasn't healthy for me even if it made me seem like a horrible person to them. Beautiful!
This is a track from Taylor's 9th album "Evermore" which is the sister to "Folklore".This is a fictional story, I think it was inspired by a movie or show Taylor was watching. Folklore came out in Summer and had a spring/summer vibe (you've heard "My tears riccochet") Evermore came out in Fall and had a fall/winter vibe, hence the Christmas references in this song
Loving all your reactions. It's great watching you read the lyrics too and properly take in the reason people love taylor Swift, her songwriting! I would suggest the following songs to listen too: Right where you left me Getaway car Long live Exile Maroon You're loosing me Thanks for the great content!
You should listen to a trilogy of songs that Taylor created for the folklore album. It is about a love triangle between 3 characters that she created (named betty, augustine and james), each song represents the pov of one of these characters. Basically betty and james were a couple, but then james cheated on betty with augustine during summer (they were highschoolers at the time), and then he regretted it. The first song is called "cardigan" and it is from betty's pov (the main girl), but years later as an adult. Singing about how the love betrayed her but she knew he would go back to her. The 2nd song is called "august" and it is from augustine's pov (the other chick) once she realized that what she thought was real love, was just a summer thing for him. And the third song is called "betty" and it is from James's pov (the boy) when he realized that he actually missed and wanted betty and that he had messed up, so he was trying to get her back. It would be awesome if you did a video for this 3 songs!
This song and also "Back to December" are songs where she accepts that she did a hurtful thing, even though she thought it was the best thing at the time.
"sometimes you just don't know the answer 'till someone's on their knees and asks you" typically you propose on one knee, so the fact that he's on his knees, basically begging her, is so heartbreaking man
there are several songs where she's the quote unquote villain. take 'back to december' or 'getaway car' or just the SEVERAL fictional songs in folklore and evermore about infidelity such as 'illicit affairs' or 'ivy'.
I GET SO EXCITED EVERY SINGLE TIME YALL POST ANOTHER REACTION TO TAY TAY I LOVE LOVE YALLS REACTION PLS KEEPING DOING THEM!!! I STOP MY WHOLE DAY TO WATCH YOUR REACTIONS LOL PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO TO ALL TOO WELL AND ALL HER OTHER MUSIC VIDEOS. ALSO IN BACK TO DECEMBER SHE IS THE VILLAIN IN THE RELATIONSHIP SO ID CHECK THAT OUT IF YOU WANT MORE VILLAIN TAYLOR LOL
Joe alwyn, an indie British actor she was with for 6 years. She lived with him until beginning of 2023 in NYC. She said no to his proposal. Says the reason in another song
This song was actually fictional but I'm glad you liked it! Other songs you can react to: 1. Betty, Cardigan, and August (it's a fictional trilogy told in 3 different POVs) 2. Last Great American Dynasty 3. Long Live
really love and enjoy your videos. I think you should listen to ~1- betty ( its literally a movie for me. like i can see this song just by hearing it. U know?) 2-miss americana(such a fun and cool song) 3- cruel summer(vibing like hell) and last but not least 4-maroon( I dont know what to say i just love it , YOU will love it)
love them just bopping to such a heartbreaking song, taylor’s really good at making you want to dance while crying 😭
Facts
it's such a bop
She is the queen is sad bops…right where you left me is such a sad bop lol
would've could've should've is my favorite bop
i laugh hard to this comment, like what😂
it's so rare to find men who can appreciate taylor's art on this platform, i'm loving watching you guys
I agree 💯 & I hope that they continue also. Not gonna lie, I'm crushing on one of these guys.
I'm not being specific on purpose. lol 😉 😊 Just in case, I don't want any drama.😊🤐
I wholeheartedly agree. They got a follow from me and can’t wait so hear them react to other artist but keep up the Taylor music
@@katrinavaldez1122LMAOOK THE TRANSPARNECY TO STRBAGERS i love tou
Rare?
We dont you know tell people
We keeps it a secret
Been a fan for over a decade
I knauuurrrr I love thse two😭💕
One of my fave songs from her. “You’ll find the real thing instead, she’ll patch up the tapestry that I shred” gets me choked up every time. She turned a tragic situation into something beautiful and put it in a song.
The best line… Its so mature and honest
She always does Thts y I love her she doesn’t beat around the bush
one of my favourite things about this song is the fact that it says "till someone's on their KNEES." KNEES, plural. which means he's not on one knee, proposing, he's on his KNEES begging her not to leave him.

This gets me every time 😭
omgggggg😢

U might say anti-hero
And back to December
Champagne problems actually means just problems that are seen as socially really insignificant but to her they are big issues. That’s the irony in the song 😭♥️
That makes so much sense! I never really knew what that meant.
This is exactly what it means! Well said 🙌🏼

Yesss fs
I think August first then Betty and then Cardigan makes sense chronologically ❤
@@pika77289 agreed!
Or listening to Betty, starting to feel sorry for James, then August and Cardigan as a change of perspective might work
This song is not about herself, it’s from the Evermore album, which is a story telling album, so it’s a song written from the perspective of a girl who said no to her partner who proposed to her

Interesting to think about now that everything has transpired
@@jayme_poet2233i don't think thats right because appeal he didn't want the fame she had so it didn't work out
But she wrote the song together with him. He even was rewarded with a Grammy. And he receives royalties.
Evermore is not purely an album about fictional characters as evidence by the song "Marjorie" which is about her Grandmother. She has cited this is a fictional song but I feel like this is based on a relationship she had.
@@carolinew302 Champagne Problems never won a Grammy.
"sometimes you gotta be the villain to be the hero in your own life" is SUCH a good piece of wisdom and i loved y'all's reaction so much. seriously, can't stop smiling like a fool after watching y'all dance along to this.
KEEPING THE SWIFTIES FEDDDDD ♥️
My personal interpretation on this is that she's taking what's meant to be "rich people problems" and twisting it to mean, the problems surrounding this celebration of a proposal and also her mental health. She jokes that her dorm was made for her because it was once a madhouse, and later people say "what a shame she's fucked in the head".

Yeah i never thought from this point of view...thanks

This is awesome!!!
That's exactly how I interpreted this song too ❤

Seconding Tolerate It. So good!
Seconding happiness! That song is so hard to listen to but so meaningful 😢❤
as William Bowery.
Omg do tolerate it!!! Holy shit
I have to listen to both of those songs while laying down
Getaway car tells an amazing story, the last great American dynasty is an amazing story aswell and it has nothing to do with her love life.. this girl wrote a song about her house and it’s history 😮💨 invisible string is really good it’s about all the coincidences that came before she met her then boyfriend Joe Alwyn, no body no crime goes CRAZY amazing story and crazy plot line.. really hard to choose but these are some of her best song lyrically aside from the ones y’all have already touched on.

I don't think every single song in those 2 albums are entirely not about her, most of it probably but not all.
@@aephosphenes yeah, for the large part they're not about her, but some songs definitely were.
i recommend you listen to this 3 songs in the folklore album which is related to each other.
The songs are Betty, August, Cardigan
So there are three people involved in this who is sort of in a love triangle. James who is in a relationship with Betty but he cheated with her. August was the other girl he cheated on with Betty.
So the songs:
Betty was James’ perspective
August was Augustine’s Perspective
Cardigan was Betty’s Perspective
CARDIGAN BETTY AUGUST I BEG🙏🏻🧎🏻♀️
The adoration on your faces, the vibin', your appreciation, here for it all
She got a stadium wide 8-minutes standing ovation in LA, at the last show of the US portion of her Eras tour. The Swifties definitely love this song!
“Sometimes you need to be the villain to be your own here” loved that. My favorite thing is seeing you guys bop and vibe to a sad song :)
The phrase "champagne problems" here have many different meanings all at once.

This is a fictional story btw.
Yesssss the way you caught "sometimes you just don't know the answer until they're on thier knees and ask you" !!!!!
Hey Guys!! Love the reactions. Its not easy to find people who analyse the lyrics and interpret what the writer wants to say in his songs.
The "One for the money" line has been used in songs since 1950, also in Elvis's Blue Suede Shoes. She changed the ending, but the cadence is the same
She wrote this with her boyfriend Joe Alwyn at the time whom she dated for 7 years. He wrote the song with her under the pseudonym - William Bowery. Although it's never been talked about, I think this was his experience, where he proposed to a girl (before Taylor) who turned him down. So, Taylor put the story to music.
The comments for this song say that it’s about the story of someone who wanted to end the relationship (the girl) and one who brought a ring (the guy), so they both had very different expectations of how the night was going to go
are we just gonna ignore the bar that was “sometimes you gotta be the villain to be the hero in your own life”
I love that you guys react to the deep cuts. The 1, Cardigan, or Peace would be my next recommendations
y’all should react to her performance of “I Did Something Bad” during the reputation tour for something equally as amazing but a total 180!!!!!
This song was cowritten by her now ex boyfriend of almost 7 years Joe Alwyn. They loved listening to sad breakup songs and they created this masterpiece together. He also wrote the piano in the beginning as well. Watching her sing this at the Eras Tour was heartwrenching as its taking on a whole new meaning i think for her.

Love to see men embracing and listening to Taylor swift and seeing the beauty in her music, mind, production, and everything 🩵
illicit affairs next!! or august

I just found y’all but I am SO INVESTED!! I love watching y’all slowly become swifties 😂
that's the thing people generalise taylor with... she isn't all just love and heartbreak! she has soooo many songs self-reflecting when she's in the wrong or things she's done to hurt people. you know, nobodies perfect and no one is ever really a saint forever and i love that she makes music about that too.

'Sometimes you just don't know the answer till someone's on their knees and asks you.'
Usually you propose on one knee, but he was on his knees because he was begging her.
The title is such an irony, because for them her rejecting him felt like the end of the world, but for the town people it was just champagne problems (problems that, when compared to issues of poverty, natural disasters, and war, are not that big of a deal.

For those people her rejecting his proposal was not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but for them it was everything.

Worth noting the plural “knees” in the bridge because it means not only was the person proposing to the narrator but he was begging her to stay with him and she still refused. So subtle but I love the depth it adds!
Found you guys on tiktok and you are some of my favorite music reactors now
Yay, so glad you guys reacted to this! Soooo many good ones from Folklore and Evermore, but if you wanna change it up, I did something bad, and Don’t Blame live versions are amazing. Plus her singing Death by a thousand cuts in Paris is goosebumps!!!!
I love how you say her songs are like tv shows or movies!
I highly recommend listening to Tis the Damn Season (this one is pretty much a christmas hallmark movie in 4 minutes and i LOVE it), Right Where You Left Me, Coney Island, The 1, Death by A Thousand Cuts, Cruel Summer, The Great War...

This is one of my absolute favorite tracks on Evermore. Thank you for reacting
I LOVE that you rewind before you press play each time! ❤
The comment that basically sometimes you have to be the villain in someone else's story to be the hero in yours hit me hard! I never thought of it that way when I've had to drop friends because it wasn't healthy for me even if it made me seem like a horrible person to them. Beautiful!
This is a track from Taylor's 9th album "Evermore" which is the sister to "Folklore".This is a fictional story, I think it was inspired by a movie or show Taylor was watching.
Folklore came out in Summer and had a spring/summer vibe (you've heard "My tears riccochet")
Evermore came out in Fall and had a fall/winter vibe, hence the Christmas references in this song
Have been waiting for the new upload! Now I’ll be waiting for the next 🙌❤
Loving all your reactions. It's great watching you read the lyrics too and properly take in the reason people love taylor Swift, her songwriting! I would suggest the following songs to listen too:
Right where you left me
Getaway car
Long live
Exile
Maroon
You're loosing me
Thanks for the great content!
You should listen to a trilogy of songs that Taylor created for the folklore album. It is about a love triangle between 3 characters that she created (named betty, augustine and james), each song represents the pov of one of these characters. Basically betty and james were a couple, but then james cheated on betty with augustine during summer (they were highschoolers at the time), and then he regretted it. The first song is called "cardigan" and it is from betty's pov (the main girl), but years later as an adult. Singing about how the love betrayed her but she knew he would go back to her. The 2nd song is called "august" and it is from augustine's pov (the other chick) once she realized that what she thought was real love, was just a summer thing for him. And the third song is called "betty" and it is from James's pov (the boy) when he realized that he actually missed and wanted betty and that he had messed up, so he was trying to get her back. It would be awesome if you did a video for this 3 songs!
You guys are really breaking this down. I LOVE it !!
WOW, I LOVE YOU BOTH ♥️ THANK YOU FOR THIS! ☺️
Can we take a minute and appreciate how mature these two young men are?
please do more of these !!!!! we love your reactions !!! (illicit affairs is such a good song y'all should react too it)
This song and also "Back to December" are songs where she accepts that she did a hurtful thing, even though she thought it was the best thing at the time.
Never thought I'd get to one of these so early
I like it here
"sometimes you just don't know the answer 'till someone's on their knees and asks you" typically you propose on one knee, so the fact that he's on his knees, basically begging her, is so heartbreaking man
Ashton went through it “damnnnn she said no” looks at camera “who’d she say no to” 😂🤣 I’m obsessed with you both!!!
Love these guys! Y’all cracked the code
i literally love u both i love this MAKE MORE
And I love how Taylor switched up the chorus. In the beginning it was about the narrator, and in the end it’s about the other girl
these videos are quickly becoming the highlight of my days dudes
there are several songs where she's the quote unquote villain. take 'back to december' or 'getaway car' or just the SEVERAL fictional songs in folklore and evermore about infidelity such as 'illicit affairs' or 'ivy'.
Thank you for cracking the code because I didn’t know I’m learning about Taylor with you guys lol
Thanks for reacting to these
'TIS THE DAMN SEASON next please 💓 (in my mind it's sort of like a sequel to Champagne Problems)
Keep. These. Videos. Coming!!!! Y’all are so funny.
I recently saw that she wrote this about a favorite tv show couple!! So I love that you connected it to TV haha
Idk why I really enjoy watching ppl discover her and in the process I fall even deeper with them
it’s such a sad break up kind of song but it’s also the fact that she wrote that song with her then boyfriend of years too that makes it hit harder
I GET SO EXCITED EVERY SINGLE TIME YALL POST ANOTHER REACTION TO TAY TAY I LOVE LOVE YALLS REACTION PLS KEEPING DOING THEM!!! I STOP MY WHOLE DAY TO WATCH YOUR REACTIONS LOL PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO TO ALL TOO WELL AND ALL HER OTHER MUSIC VIDEOS. ALSO IN BACK TO DECEMBER SHE IS THE VILLAIN IN THE RELATIONSHIP SO ID CHECK THAT OUT IF YOU WANT MORE VILLAIN TAYLOR LOL
You are both the only people that I have seen react to this song that actually figured out what it was about the 1st time.
your reactions never miss🤞🏼🤞🏼
This is my favorite Taylor Swift song and watching you two enjoy the fuck out of this song has made my night thank you
Joe alwyn, an indie British actor she was with for 6 years. She lived with him until beginning of 2023 in NYC. She said no to his proposal. Says the reason in another song
A masterpiece of story telling and beautiful lyrics is RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME so beautiful and tragic and the music itself it amazing.
I love watching you two.
Thank you for the video. I finally understand what this song is about.
This song was actually fictional but I'm glad you liked it! Other songs you can react to:
1. Betty, Cardigan, and August (it's a fictional trilogy told in 3 different POVs)
2. Last Great American Dynasty
3. Long Live
They definitely should react to Long Live, it's my personal favorite✨
So nice!! Can't wait for the react of "Right where you left me"
Your reactions are so great! You should do “I Bet You Think About Me”
these videos are amazing, i'm so curious to see you guys react to one of her albums
really love and enjoy your videos. I think you should listen to ~1- betty ( its literally a movie for me. like i can see this song just by hearing it. U know?) 2-miss americana(such a fun and cool song) 3- cruel summer(vibing like hell) and last but not least 4-maroon( I dont know what to say i just love it , YOU will love it)

"till someone's on their knees". People propose on one knee but beg on both
You guy should react to Ivy from this album. One of the most beautiful songs. Pure poetry.
