    Ryan Tedder said that she is the only artist he has ever felt guilty taking production credits because she comes in with the song 7/8s done. All you do is suggest an instrument to deliver what she is saying she wants to hear. She totally has her whole body into the production.

      Welcome to New York and I know places are my favorite in the album and I'm a big Ryan tedder fan and realized why I like them is because ryan tedder has some input on it.
      I always like songs and discover he's the songwriter/producer on it.
      Basically anything Ryan tedder makes I almost always like it.

    My Tears Ricochet is about her stolen lullabies and each line of the first chorus was taken from a song from each stolen album!!
    “i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace”- Red (State of Grace)
    “you’re the hero flying around saving face”- Speak Now (Superman)
    “and if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?”- rep (LWYMMD/old Taylor is dead)
    “cursing my name”- Fearless (The Way I Loved You)
    “wishing I stayed”- 1989 (All You Had to Do Was Stay)
    “look at how my tears ricochet”- Debut (Teardrops on my Guitar)

    I think that the big difference between Taylor Swift and other artists is that Taylor Swift is dominating in every aspect in the music industry. From physical sales, digital sales, streaming number, chart success, critically acclaimed, breaking records, awards, touring, intellectual property (master of music catalogue & publishing records), and the most important things is loyal fanbase. So many “die hard” Taylor Swift fans are not only stay for her music but also because of her character (keep being humble and relatable). I think She treats her fans the best among other artists because she has genuine concern to her fans. Taylor Swift main forte is her songwriting. She is not the best vocalist compared other singers out there, but she is amazing with her craft. And she is a savvy business women in the music industry. She is the risk takers and so damn intelligent with her business ownership. There is a great video from “Rap Chanel” that explained Why Taylor Swift is Winning.
    Taylor’s forte are mainly her songwriting and story telling. They have their own story and narrative, it’s basic knowledge. I’ll give you some facts, Across Taylor’s discography (>200 songs), she accomplished more than 30% credited for the percentage of songs written solely by her, the highest percentage of the mainstream artists of her generation followed by Ed Sheeran (15.2%) and Adele (14.5%), in fact Taylor Swift is the most successful songwriter of her generation according to Billboard and other music experts both critically and commercially.
    The motive and theme of her songs are majority about the complexity of the relationship, about her lover, her ex, her parents, her family, her friends, her band, her fans, her haters and her cats. Her latest project that is album sisters called “folklore” and “evermore” took inspiration from fictional character with little snippet of her story life and talked about Mental Health, Child abuse, World War 2, PTSD, Pandemic, Infidelity, The Last Great American Dynasty (Her House) and so on.

      Taylor has an incredible voice, if she would not sound like that, the lyrics would not come alive we need to stop thinking that a singer needs to sound like Aretha Franklin. She’s also a great musician, and has a lot of Musical Prowess, production and incredible performance skills but her songwriting is just..the icing on the cake 🍰 she has many things in one, other people have come to have incredible careers only as musicians or only singers or only songwriters or producer and singers but not songwriters and so on.

    Taylor has been writing her own songs since she was 10 years old and pretty much her entire discography is autobiographical with the exception of some songs
    And for the production Taylor usually comes out with the melody and the lyrics together she would just have this idea in her head and starts playing it on piano or a guitar then send it to jack or Aaron
    There are multiple videos of her process of creating songs and how she comes out with lyrics and melody

    Sidenote about my tears ricochet: it's about Scott Borchetta... The head of her former label. He is the one that sold the masters to Scooter. The pain in the song comes from being betrayed by someone Taylor used to know since she was 14. They basically build that label together. Scott used to say he was foe artist rights but at the end he chose money over her

    You didn't mention that Folklore won Album of the year at the Grammy's (and Aaron Dessner in his acceptance speech called Taylor "one of our greatest living songwriters").
    I love when people who know music discover Taylor Swift. It was even hard for me to recognize that young, pretty women can be musical geniuses, just like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Billy Joel, Elton John/Bernie Taupin. A musical genius doesn't have to be male and "attractively challenged" haha. You hit ALL my favorite lyrics in her songs and explained their meaning correctly. Next you might listen to the Lover album, which I adore. (I would say 1989 or Reputation, but you must wait until her version is released so that you don't give money to the enemy by downloading or streaming Scott Borchetta's albums!).

    • @WaveReact

    Really nice. Folklore was the first album I ever listened to of Taylor Swift, and I have to say, its spectacular. Evermore is in the same vein but the album has a different vibe to it than folklore, they are very different albums. I’d love to see that reaction. Also, about Taylor producing. She has co-producing credits on most of her catalog throughout her career. People don’t often know that. But, she co-produces most of her music. She has been writing the storyboards for her music videos most of her career and has been directing most of them for the past 4 years. She was the first woman to actually win best director.

Evermore is of course the sister album and is just as good. But I think Midnights would be a fun one for you to dig into if you want to meet her where she is right now.

    I loved going through this album watching the lyric video followed by checking out the Long Pond studio sessions, listening to Taylor and Aaron or Jack discuss the making of and meaning behind the songs. Then you can watch her sing it in the studio while they play piano and guitar. And then if there is a music video, like for Cardigan, it’s gorgeous and adds so much to the song, so I watch that too!

    I think evermore is the stronger of her two storytelling/pandemic albums but I absolutely love folklore with all my heart. I've been a taylor fan since 2008 and watching her grow musically and lyrically has been such an immense pleasure. I'm incredibly glad to exist in the same timeline as taylor swift, it's a truly beautiful thing. If you ever get the chance, go see her live, she is phenomenal (i first saw her live 9 years ago and every concert since then has been an absolutely right-on, having the time of my life kinda experience)
    as always, I wanna thank you guys for putting so much care and love and nuance in your reactions, they truly are a wonderful thing to watch and rejoice in. I will always love seeing people throw preconceived notions and bias' to the side to find the joy in music and you two truly have mastered the art. it's also just always fun seeing people enjoy music you yourself love!!! also something about your setup is really comforting to me, I can't really explain it ngl. I also really, really love the lyrics you added on the screen, especially for taylor who has always, first and foremost, been a songwriter to me, so I really appreciate the added touch!!

    I’m not sure how the algorithm didn’t bring this video to me before now, but here I am. Now that we’re post Joe there are so many songs on this album, on Lover, and even Evermore that hint at problems that she didn’t want to admit. It’s just so sad to listen to how she felt through that relationship, like she always knew it would eventually end and it would be because he couldn’t handle being with someone who is such a public figure.

    Hi guys, love your videos. I found you guys via your Ethel Cain video, and I was so happy to find you reacted to Folklore and Evermore which are some of my favorite albums ever!!
    I'd be really interested in watching your reactions to Ys by Joanna Newsom, another favorite album and probably one of my favorite artists. I think she's a bona-fide genius. There'd be so much for you two to digest both musically and lyrically. She's a virtuosic harpist and her vocals are very unique. She's also one of the best lyricists I've had the pleasure of listening to.
    Anyway, keep up the great videos guys!

    In my opinion MTR is so much more than about her stolen records. It is about lost of a relationship with the person you were really closed with, who knew your fears and betrayed you in the worst possible way. Like a best friend you lost, a couple going through a divorce, parents who treats you differently after you turn a certain age. And then in the end Taylor draws parallel to her stolen records because it was her life's work. To say it is just about her stolen records somehow diminishes the beauty of this song. BTW, I loved your reactions and appreciate Zach for listening to her without any prejudice.

    i’d like to mention that in ‘august’, there’s this double meaning to the phrase “meet me behind the mall”, which is “meet me behind them all”
    i think this reinforces the idea that augustine is just a summer fling, an object of james’s desire. she’s a secret, a shameful act. this implies that james knew he was screwing up with betty, he decided to go off with augustine even though he knew he shouldn’t.
    these little details, intended or not, are in my opinion what make this album brilliant.

    I enjoy the love triangle songs, but those I mentioned just felt a bit more mature and more where I'm at in my life (not teenage years), I think that probably counts.
