      As a swifty I feel its my duty to mention that she doesn't make money from the old songs. Which is why as l as a switfty in support of my girl I refuse to listen to anything she doesn't own the rights to as much as i love them.

    The thing about most Taylor Swift songs is that they get a little bit better every time you listen. Once you figure out that there's a love triangle in Folklore or that a certain song (Marjorie) is about her grandma who was an opera singer etc. the lyrics take on a new life 😁 ... plus, there's all of the Easter eggs that you could speculate about. I'm not usually someone who becomes a big fan of stars but Taylor is VERY interesting tbh

      i relate to every word in this comment. I literally am the definition of repeating the same action and expecting different results with her songs. When I first heard "all you had to do was stay" I thought, eh this is some poppy song, and then a few times later I was like-this is deep. And I had the same thing with Midnight Rain last night. I was just blown away by how every lyric suddenly was part of one puzzle whereas before I thought it was good, but I didn't see its profundity.

    Yes, most new listeners listen to the production of her music rather than the stories she tells. She is more of a storyteller, even though she makes many hits and bops lmao . But listening to her high school years in her first album. Then her dreamy fearless era. Then listening to her growing up in speak now and getting more popular and then listening to her first significant heartbreak in Red. Then hearing the after-effects of red in 1989 and how she started over in New York and shoved her broken heart in a drawer in the opening track. Then ending, the 1989 album with New Romantics saying to continue being you no matter how many bricks are thrown at her. Then reputation starts showing the downfall of her famous 1989 era. Rep starts finding this handsome man, but she can't officially have him since she already has a boyfriend. So she cheats on her boyfriend in So it goes... Then she breaks up with her boyfriend in a getaway car, so she can have the man she describes in Gorgeous. The album ends with her telling us to call it what you want, but I'll have someone to help clean up bottles with on New Year's day. THEN, the lover starts exploring the story between the two after reputation. Lover ends with daylight, and she references back to Red with "I once believed Love would be burning red." Then, that was the first chapter of her career. Then folklore and evermore give us incredible stories she made up, and then midnights gave us old references to the first chapter of her music. Midnights ends with dear reader, which is her giving us a message. So yeah, new listeners mostly listen to beat before the story and there is nothing wrong with that, but it's just the truth. Most people will call her shit before they realize her true talent in storytelling she has. Overall I enjoyed this video, and I'm sorry for the long paragraph. I just had to say this 😭

    My favorite lyric has to be the red and daylight parallel:
    “Loving him was was red, burning red.”
    “I once believed love would be burning red, but it’s golden like daylight.”
    I know some people have said it’s a little too on the nose, but if you think about it, it’s really not. She’s only ever used the term “golden” to describe Joe, her current boyfriend. She started using it during reputation when she met him, but she didn’t make that song parallel until lover. If it had been in reputation, I could see where people are coming from, but the fact that she matures and realizes that true love isn’t all burning hot passion and is instead a cool golden glow is what makes it so beautiful. It’s like she referred to Joe as golden because calling their love red didn’t feel right, and then she realized it’s because she now knows what true love - a healthy, appreciated and reciprocated love - feels like. And the fact that there’s an album between her first use of red and her first use of golden and 2 whole albums between the lyric parallel? Growth. I’m obsessed.
    Also, don’t worry, you’ll be a swiftie in no time. My husband was like you where he just enjoyed her music but didn’t feel like a “swiftie” but I got him into the lore and now he’s had to come to the realization that he’s a swiftie after all. Lol

      Omg, I loved that parallel too, especially because I listened to each album when I was living the situations she describes in both of them and those lines just feel so real.
      Realizing that when you first experience love and heartbreak everything feels so intense, as if it's burning red. And then finding true love, where you feel warms and protected by a golden glow, it doesn't feel like burning anymore, it feels like home.
      I just love Daylight so much ❤
      New romantics is a total bop, but Daylight is my favorite last track

    I've noticed the first mistake folks often make when diving into Taylor's discography is they miss the trees for the forest-sometimes the tabloid context can actually hurt their ability to build an unvarnished impression. They get caught up in the "mood" or the "dramatic backstory" or w.e. So they miss the details. But the details with Taylor are everything.

    Loved these two videos!! Don’t know if anyone mentioned this yet but Taylor Swift wrote Speak Now solo (no other authors credited) because critics were doubting whether she was actually carrying any weight in writing sessions! And she has written/co-written every song she’s ever put out, which I think is super rare in the industry these days!! I love her songwriting roots; it’s what elevates her work. Even when it’s a pop hit, you knows it’s going to be clever and well-written. 😍

If you want any further suggestions about her, I'd recommend a hilarious fan's secret treasure called "Thug Story" with T-Pain which they did as a parody of "Love Story"

    Literally, I became a swiftie literally less then a week ago, and I watched ur video as I was going down the rabbit hole. Seriously, my entire UA-cam history is Taylor swift videos, reacting to her albums, deep dive analysis into her career, and everything. I have also gone back and listed to almost three albums in full (evermore, folklore, and reputation, oh and lover) which I’m glad about. Originally, I only knew like some of the most famous songs off red and reputation (only LWYMMD) but now I have a whole list of my favs. And my friend is super happy abt it because she has been trying to get me to be a swiftie for like 2 years (I see where she is coming from now). Anyway, I’m still deep into the rabbit whole and I’m so happy I divided in. Also I literally can’t wait to get my folklore vinyl record for Christmas like ahhhhhh.

    What's so funny to me is that the general consensus is that Red is the quintessential Taylor Swift and her best album.

    A big aspect to my Taylor swift fanaticism is history. I’m currently 18, almost 19, and I’ve been a swiftie since I was 7. Over half of my life I have been jamming out or crying to her music. In a way, her eras are my eras. Even though I listen to all the albums all the time, they still remind me of who I was and how I felt when I first listened to them. There’s a lot of nostalgia, but also a great appreciation for how I’ve grown when I listen to her music. Idk if this makes any sense haha.

    I really feel like as a swiftie, I started out just like you with Taylor and probably a few months ago i wouldn't even consider me a fan, but as I got to know her (assuming she's not faking her whole entire personality) through interviews, music videos, and her music "lore", while time was passing, i really started connecting with her. I think I didn't even noticed it, but as I went through defining events in my life (exams at school, passing of relatives, love, heartbreak, and many other situations) all while listening to her music (because just like you I thought it was well-written and generally good) it kind of marked me. It's probably because of how personal most of her lyrics are, even if I took them out of context to apply to myself in some of those moments. Now most of her songs feel like a part of my past, and she herself feels like a friend that was with me through all of it (corny asf,i know but it feels right to say it). I cannot think of august without thinking of a past situationship i was in, or epiphany without thinking of my grandfather, or long live without thinking of my friends, and so many other songs.
    It's not like i'm devoted to her in some creepy way nor that I would pass out if I got the chance to meet her, but her entire discography became such an integral part of my life by mere coincidence that now she feels like an intimate friend of mine. I think that's how I became a fan and ultimately a swiftie.

    The dedication in this video, Like- wow. Incredible. Good job on your research and ability to invest in her and the Swifties in the comments 💜💜💜
    Midnight Rain + Maroon + Would've Could've Should've are my top 3 from Midnights bc wow
    And one of my fav lyrics from that album is "and i wake with your memory over me, that's a big f*cking legacy to leave"

    You’re so funny!!! I think I mentioned this in my last comment for your last video but I’ve been a Swifty since the beginning. Because I’ve loved her music from the beginning, I didn’t have anyone telling me about popular music and I could form my own opinion. I like recommendations but there’s nothing like forming your own opinion. I’m also not one of those Swifty‘s who freaks out on people if someone doesn’t like her. I love Taylor but I think people need to realize not every single person is going to like someone’s music. Individual tastes are OK.

    I'm kind of in the same position as you are, I like her music a lot and I'm fairly new to all of it (started listening to her when midnights came out). I've watched some stuff and gone down a bit of the rabbithole (not all the way I still haven't listened to everything she put out) but I don't feel as committed to her as other fans out there. I mean she seems like a nice person and shit but idk. It's a weird place to be in because you are kind of surrounded by all of these die-hards and you're like: yeah I like it too.. anyway favorite bars rn are: her repeating are we out of the woods yet, I thought the plane was going down how'd you turn it right around and the whole bridge of marjorie

    i feel like so many people focus on the genius of Red that 1989'S lyrical potential is overlooked. Was Red a telltale sign of what was to come story-telling wise in Taylor's career? Yes. For me 1989 does that as well. 1989 is so sonically pleasing that people forget to praise its writing. I mean Clean, Wonderland, All You Had to Do Was Stay, Out of The Woods all in one album! Yes, that is the Shake it Off album, but that song was never intended to be critically acclaimed, she's the messy drunk aunt that you only see a few times a year because she's a lot. But that doesn't mean she isn't fun!

    I have a few lyrics I am obsessed with:
    Cruel Summer: "And I scream for whatever its worth, I love you ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? (He looks up grinning like a devil)" That whole thing is so descriptive and you can just imagine Joe looking up at her with a wide smirk after she just told him she loves him
    Would've Could've Should've: "Give me back my girlhood it was mine first" It's litterally so heartbreaking how she feels John Mayor took away her childhood 💔
    The entire chorus of Maroon tbh
    Anti Hero: "I should not be left to my own devices, they come with prices, and vices, I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)" it's so relatable and I love the way she says it
    My Tears Ricochet: "And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed" it perfectly captures the feeling of not being appreciated until you're out of their lives
    The entire chorus of Haunted also 😂
    And the last one I am going to list is, Tolerate It: "What if I break free and leave us in ruins? Took this dagger in me and removed it? Gained the wait of you then loose it? Believe me I could do it." It shows how at any moment she could leave and that she dosent need to force herself to live with this pain (the dagger) but at the end of the song she repeats the first line of the song showing how she stays anyway which only makes this bridge more impact full

  • @evermore09
    @evermore09 2 роки тому +5

    Not to be a reputation apologist but I think it's often viewed as a good-girl-gone-bad kind of album when it's actually not, tho it's understandable because of the kimye drama of it all 🤷‍♂️ The first half of the album definitely feeds that concept of fighting back and becoming a different version of herself to address all the hate she's receiving, with the songs being accompanied by a heavier-sounding production. But as you get to the second half, it's very noticeable how the mood suddenly changes. There are more love songs and the "bad girl" persona starts to fade as the production becomes less aggressive. Then it closes with "New Year's Day", a piano ballad. The album is more about finding love and peace despite all the chaos and outside forces that are out to get you. Like, the whole world may hate you but that doesn't matter anymore because you finally found that one person who'll stay with you no matter what, and that's enough.

    "They told me all of my cages were mental. So I got wasted like all my potential."
    "You're not my homeland anymore

    I love how their is a Taylor album for everyone. Yet all her albums are great, I know a couple people who I’m friends with stopped listening to her from reputation and lover but ended up loving her music again after folklore came out. You inspired me to make my own hierarchy.
    1. Fearless - Midnights- Folklore (I would never be able to pick between them, they both bring something different to the table)
    2.
    3.
    4. Red (Taylors Version, without Taylor’s version 1989 would be here)
    5. 1989
    6. Reputation
    7. Lover
    8. Evermore
    9. Speak Now
    10. Taylor Swift

I listened to every single album (movie tracks and featuring too), watched every single music video, learned like 30 of her songs (which is great since English is not my first language and it takes time to learn the lyrics), and watched the documentaries and the reputation, 1989 and fearless tour. What I mean is: even though I did all of this, I can't call myself a swiftie. It seems like I'm not enough of a fan, I don't know every lyric, I wasn't in the hell of 2016, I can't see the easter eggs, and there's that fans that kind of bullies the new ones. I don't know, I just can't call myself a swiftie.

    My fav lyrics by Taylor of all time are from this part in Ivy:
    I wish to know
    The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
    Magnificently cursed
    It´s completly fine if you don´t like the twins as much as the other albums! I´m actually the complete opossite lmao. Fearless is my least listen to album and from Red I listen only to half of the songs (Sad Beautifil Tragic is my fav).
    But because I´m a huge Florence and the machine simp, Evermore and Folklore are much more the style I generally listen to on daily bases. Ivy is my favourite Taylor song (and I swear it´s not just because of the sapphic origin), Evermore, Happiness, Cony Island and oh gods, how nice does Willow sound???
    And baby Taylor, the debute album - I think everyone agrees that it is the weakest album but we have such a soft spot for it in our hearts.
    If you haven´t watched the Rep Tour on Netflix, you def should! I get chills every time. I remeber standing in the stadium and while I´ve been to a lot of concerts, the fact that I´ve felt the same kind of intimacy there as at a Florence concerts still blows my mind.

    Honestly, one of the main reasons why Taylor is so popular is because of her originality and ability to spontaneously try new sounds in her ‘eras’ especially when moving through genres. When you get to know her as well as her music, you need to know the backstory and the inspiration behind it. As said by many, Red (Taylor’s Version) is a masterpiece and the reason why is because all of the lyrics and stories within the songs came from the heart.
    Folklore and evermore where a complete 360 jump from her classic pop or county album vibe but it gained so much attention because of the storytelling and poetry.
    Lover seems chaotic on the surface but LOVE is chaotic. Love is FEARLESS and it doesn’t always make sense; I believe this is what makes the album appear messy to outsiders.
    Albums like Fearless (Taylor’s Version ) and Speak Now were albums created during a time in Taylor’s life where she was experiencing lots of heartache and a range of emotions as she transformed from being a young, “naive” girl into a woman who grows to be wise (hence Red). Those albums are very relatable to younger audiences and are appreciated because of the relatability no matter what age.
    In summary, it’s best to get the entire picture before anyone orders for Taylor’s music to be burned 😂

I mean, yes, reputation is one of the albums with the highest number of stans, but everybody else (us, the sensible ones lol) agrees that it is not her greatest effort. Red is probably the most overall acclaimed, both in the fandom and by critics. Following Red would probably be folklore and 1989 (my personal favorites). Speak Now is actually an amazing album, but very underrated in the fandom as well. But it has it’s stans. Anyway, just to let you know, no points being made here.
    ((Except that folklore, 1989 and Red are Taylor Swift’s Magnum Opuses

    Update us when you become a Swifties XD! Joking. What i think you are is a “Casual Swiftie” basically a down to earth non psycotic fan that digs her music.
