@GOTGames Luke, please react to “Ronan(Taylor’s version) (Lyric video)”, yes it’ll make you cry, but that’s ok, ‘cos it’s beautiful. It’s written by Taylor, with lyric credits to Ronan’s mum, ‘cos some of the lyrics were her words, written in her blogs about her little boy,Ronan. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸💞

Can I add Better Than The Whole Sky to this list please. I'm glad they exist, the songs are amazing, but they hurt my soul. It's one thing to see the happy/cry reactions like Never Grow Up and Best Day. But others I genuinely can't listen to x
Taylor's parents are Scott and Andrea. They are no longer married, but they are Taylor's team. They work together, to support Taylor's success. I think that's the best example of people whose relationship didn't work out, but they will always be co-parents. The Swifts really crushed showing us how that's done.
Her mom got diagnosed with cancer and she made a song called “soon you’ll get better” she also wrote “Ronan” about a little boy who passed away from cancer. I wouldn’t recommend them because they’re so sad but I would because she’s so good at putting these awful situations into songs.
@@elibarides487truly! I had like multiple months where I couldn’t listen to soon you’ll get better because my mum had gotten diagnosed with cancer. I can now but it’s truly hard hitting sometimes
My weak spot is people crying over Taylor’s music like it’s impossible for me not to cry too. You seem such a great man, Luke, your kids are lucky to have you 🫶
when people say she only writes about breakups… they’re just incorrect.. she generously lets us into so many areas of her life, including her breakups but also so so so many other things 🥺
So, I hit play on this video and my 5 year old instantly started singing "Oh, darling don't you ever grow up" she knows this entire song and I didn't even know she did lol. So sweet!
I just know your kids will be so happy and proud when they see this at an “adult” age. Like IMAGINE your dad tells the whole world how you are his entire world and happiness🫂🥲❤️
Taylor STILL says "thank you for saying that" -- all the time! The video of her saying it as a toddler is just the most precious thing of all time. Speaking of precious things...I was honestly not looking forward to watching this one but you do such a GREAT job of relating to and analyzing these songs. Thanks for being brave enough to face them, and for sharing it with us. 💜
Luke, I just want you to know that I’m part of a Taylor Swift group on Facebook and there are a few threads discussing how amazing your reactions are. You have so many fans that appreciate your genuine, emotional, and heartfelt reactions. ❤
Never Grow Up was released 14 years ago. 14 years ago I was 19 years old and listening to this song, dying to move out of my mom's house into my own place, while also wondering what it would be like to be a mom to a teenager that wants me to drop them off at the movies a block away because it's embarrassing, as teenagers do. Now I'm 33 years old with my daughter whose reaching pre teen years and soon she'll be embarrassed of me dropping her off at the movies, she's getting older and I am too. Taylor has a few songs that just comes back full circle and Never Grow Up is definitely one of them. 🥹💔🩷 My daughter loves Taylor Swift, her favorite songs are enchanted and long live.
Luke, it’s not silly to want to be a hero to your kids. It’s your North Star, influencing how you react to them, engage with them, and treat them. It’s truly moving and beautiful to hear how much you love your kids. One day, they’ll have this to hear it too. 💚
@@carolinamansur113 Ronan is perhaps the song that’s rough to hear, but it would be such a loss had I not heard it. Taylor is an extremely empathetic human being. I lost a son. Maybe that helps me understand. Anyone I’ve tried to share it with simply cannot get through it. I listen to it often.
@@MCP920 but I wasn't saying that Bigger Than The Whole Sky is worse, just that them combined would absolutely wreck him. I think then being difficult to listen to depends completely on experience and empathy. That being said, I agree, Taylor is amazingly empathetic
Never Grow Up has so many layers because of course parents connect with it, but also adults who have lost parents or have aging parents. Once you realize that she's speaking to her younger self, it's impossible to hold it together 😭
Exactly! I listened to Never Grow Up on the morning of my most recent birthday (36), and I remember sobbing as I said to myself, "This was a mistake!!!!" 😂
It also hits teens. I'm turning 16 this year and it's always so easy to want to grow up, move out and start your own life. I'm still at the stage where I hear my dad coming home and can think my parents are embarrassing. It's just not something you often think of as being temporary because it's always been that way. I've never tried anything else. This song reminds me to savour and appreciate having my older siblings and family so close and that I overall get to experience being kid for a little while more. Because one day everything I know and have is gonna be gone. (Though on top of that I've always had a fear of time moving and never being able to go back so this song is a punch to the heart every time, ahah)
Your vulnerability is what makes your reactions so heart felt. Please don’t ever apologize for being emotional. It’s so refreshing for us to see a gentle man who cares so much about his family and has the emotional health you do! 🫶🏼
I actually giggled when you said your wife now also loves Taylor 😂 that's going to be one of the best things to share, the giddiness and how you both understand why the other one gets giddy about her stuff 😊 it's a lovely joy to share. Any music really... But especially Taylor because of all the positivity and joy around her 😊
Thank you for being a man that is not afraid to show his emotions; A man that can cry openly. Enjoy your baby boys. I have 3 of my own, and it’s sad how fast it goes. My oldest is 28 and my youngest is 15, but I still view my oldest as that little baby boy with chubby cheeks. Hold on to every precious memory ❤
Ohhhhhh boy 😂❤👀 Also, she wrote “the Best Day” about her mom in secret and surprised her with it on Mother’s Day Also now I’m just picturing this woman sitting in her living room and straight chugging a giant bottle of wine while sobbing to Miss Americana (Honestly same. You get it, girlie) and it’s the cutest thing ever. You turn that family into Swifties 🤣. Do the lords work 🤣
My twin daughters turned 15 on St. Patrick’s Day and decided they needed to listen to never grow up in the middle of their celebration. When I tell you I SOBBED. You’re the best Luke. Never change.
"Never Grow Up" was originally released on Speak Now (2010) "The Best Day" was originally on Fearless (2008) Can't believe she wrote these songs at such a young age 🦋
Taylor is extremely close to her parents. Her mom, Andrea, was diagnosed with cancer a couple years ago. Don't worry, she recovered, but Taylor wrote a song about it called Soon You'll Get Better. It's a beautiful song but only listen to it at your own risk. Don't be afraid to cry! You're crying for a beautiful reason❤ PS: Your wife is a keeper😂❤
I lost my father in Dec 2022 and the line when she says to “remember what it sounds like when your dad comes home”. Makes me think of exactly that and makes me bawl. I miss my father so much EVERY DAY 😢
If you want an unapologetically happy song, you need to watch the ME! mv. It gets a lot of unfair hate - ironically so, considering we see how happy it made Tay in the MA doc. It's an upbeat self-love anthem.
Agreed! I suggested pairing it with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, because he’s already reacted to the live performance and the video is silly, fun, but still technically very impressive.
The way you react to these songs is exactly the reason Taylor touches as many people as she does. She's honest, normal, and completely relatable to the average person.
You sound like such a good father; it's honestly making me emotional seeing you get all emotional about your kids. And even if they grow up enough to not jump into bed in the morning with you anymore, the love between you all will just take on a different form and it always will be there no matter how old they and you are.
My latest guilty pleasure: watching another adult man breaking into tears over TS again and again. 😭 This is the most wholesome thing in the Internet. Gentlemen, we have the right to cry without being sympathized.
You seem like such a wonderful father. Because of how you are with your boys, they will most likely continue to jump into the bed with you long into the future. It will change, but that love you feel and the connection will be there.
This was my surprise song at one of the eras tour shows I went to (KC Night 1), and I just held my 7 year old daughter and sobbed. This has been a song I sing to my kids since they were born. 💜💜
WHY LUKE! Why do I dehydrate this much watching you cry. I'm 37, no kids, bad childhood also and just can't stop crying but being so happy for you! I think your reactions are based on your empathy for the world, and my reactions to you are based on my empathy as well 😂 love you man!
Before I even get into this, based on the title alone I was like 'Oh no this is gonna wreck him' lmao. These are such good songs tho, they always get me in my feels as well
Taylor: "You're little hands wrapped around my finger an-" Luke: 😭😭😭😭😭😭 We Swifties love to cry with you! Also, I can tell you with 100% certainty that you are already a hero to your family. Thanks for always being so real and comfortable with showing emotion... it's the reason why we are all in love with Taylor's music and your reactions. Can't wait to see your wife start reacting with you! Bless her. If you want something that might not make you cry, check out "MASTERMIND." The lyrics are incredible. It's one of my top 3 favorites and it can be interpreted differently, but we Swifties feel like it was written for us! You'll get it once you hear it. :) I love TuesTays and FriTays! Thank you!
You mentioned doing Cardigan. If you do that one, you should add Betty and August because all three of those songs are connected as a love triangle told from three different perspectives. I don’t think those will make you cry.
Oh Luke, I know exactly how you feel about your own childhood and making sure your kids have better ones. You are breaking cycles. It’s traumatic but so rewarding, you can look back when your boys are grown and be so so proud of yourself ❤
This was my favorite reaction that I’ve seen you do! Not because it’s Taylor but because of your reaction as a Dad and how clearly devoted you are to your family. I love the song “Best day”, Great job! Whatever your job is, that is what you do, not who you are………your family is who you are. Keep up the great work and thanks for being vulnerable, you’re a special person. Take care.
I'm missing my Granddaughters really bad right now😢 My oldest who was 6 at the time said NaNa this song is for you. She turned that song on for me to hear. She understands when I tell her that she and her sister will always be my babies . She gets it. I just bawlled.
I love that you show your emotions. We're working to break the toxic idea that men don't cry or show emotions. I love listening to Taylor because she taps into my emotions like no one else can.
Watching this makes me so happy that there are men like you raising children in this world. Thank you for sharing these thoughts and moments with us. ❤
What a great double feature TuesTay ✨ We all knew you'd have a tough time with these but they're such beautiful songs that you'll carry with you for the rest of your life
Your kids are so blessed to have a DAD like you !!! Full of love and not afraid to show your emotions. Bravo kiddo. Taylor is a gem, and I feel so protective of her now.... must be in the Dad in me. Hope you feel better soon.
You are just a wonderful human being, Luke. You’re kind, you’re intelligent, you’re fiercely protective of your family, you’re funny and witty. You’re a super nerd, as most of us are. I just think everyone deserves a friend like you. And if everyone had a friend like you to look up to, the world would be a much better place. Your kiddos are going to be so proud of you. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us, and thank you for being who you are. I’m proud of you, too 🫶🏻
When Taylor says in the video, " Thank you for saying that"....to yhis day, she still says that when getting a complement. How crazy is that....she's the best ever❤❤
I have never heard someone talk about how they aspire to be an amazing dad like you do. You are awesome for that and your babies and you are lucky to have each other.
My 19yo daughter and I had front row tickets for KC night 1, and NGU was one of our surprise songs (plus the Eras tour debut of Long Live). Right after the show ended, my daughter turned to me and said, "I don't know how we're going to top this." 😭😭 It's a night I will never forget.
How does she do his? She captures moments in her life that digs deep into universal experiences. That’s her magical musical heart. That’s why we love her. She,for every blessing she has, she still connects us all through song.
Swifties LOVE Andrea and Scott Swift. They both interact with the fans heavily. Scott crusies around at concerts and hands out guitar picks to fans (I think he always has picks in his pocket wherever he goes). Andrea would circulate among fans and selected fans to come meet Taylor. They divorced in 2012 (?) but both are still VERY present in her life and often spent holidays together, etc.
She sang "The Best Day" on Mother's Day last year on the Eras Tour acoustic set and *obviously* dedicated it to her mom who was at the show! She choked up for a second after singing "You're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world". That line gets me every time.
Luke you’re dream will come true for sure. Your love for your boys is such a sight to behold. I love you and Taylor. You’re both cut from the same cloth. Empaths to the core
My mom just got diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer and isn't able to do chemo to help... they gave her less than a year... hearing The Best Day and Soon You'll Get Better makes me bawl every time... my mom is my best friend. Also, I have 3 kids, so as a mother, Never Grow Up makes me cry, because my kids are 8,7, and 4.... I cherish EVERY SINGLE MOMENT with my kids and my momma....
You have me bawling my eyes out!! Your boys are so beautiful and blessed to have such wonderful parents. They will both say that their daddy is their hero. ❤ I’m beyond excited that we now have a new Swiftie in your household. You won’t need to talk her into going to her concert now! I love that she couldn’t stop watching it. Maybe one day she’ll be willing to say hello to us. These 2 songs are just rollercoasters for anyone who has a child, has amazing parents…. It’s so heartwarming and beautiful to hear her genius get straight to our hearts with her lyrics. Go cuddle your boys. May they stay small just a little bit longer. ❤ Hugs to you and your whole family.
My 37 year old daughter was making bracelets for trading at the Eras concert. The bracelets spell out Taylor’s songs. My daughter made one for me that a said, “The Best Day” because it reminded her of us. 🥰
I have a 37yr old son an a 35yr old daughter,both still live at home,I was kicked out at 15 because my parents were alcoholics an my mum was very bad at parenting the 5 of us yes 5 kids,im the oldest so I raised my siblings since I was 6yrs old,she didn't raise them I did,my kids can stay at home till their ready,my daughter will be gone in a few months I reckon,my son nah he's here for good I think,lol,,but hey we are all different parents,im not my mother that's for sure,,love your kids always,we had them they never asked to be here we brought them into the world so for me it's a lifetime job till their ready,,tears are flowing here watching this,taylor swift I love you girl my kids are older than you,so I'm proud to be a swiftie at 60..🏴🏴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🏴🏴
Yes, finally! I've been waiting for these reactions since your 'Christmas Tree Farm' reaction. I'm so glad you loved them. Just a little fun fact for you: 'Never Grow Up' was actually written for her little brother, Austin. Also, if you want more songs to cry to, and you will cry if you listen to them: 'Soon You'll Get Better' from Lover was written for her mother during her second battle with cancer, and 'Ronan' from the Red vault was written for a charity concert by the mother of the titular little boy who sadly passed at four years old. You'll also probably love 'I'm Only Me When I'm With You', which was written for her friends all the way back in 2006 on her debut / self-titled album.
when never grow up came out originally, i was still a kid and related to the second verse. whens Taylor's version came out, i was a freshman in college, freshly moved out of my home into a strange new place, sobbing in my dorm bed
I knew just seeing the titles that you were going to be sobbing, but both songs are so beautiful. I'm glad you did The Best Day second, that way you could end it happier. Love you.
Luke, I love your emotional reaction to Taylor Swift. 🥺 You've turned your lovely wife into a Swiftie. 😁 I love that you love your sons so much and want to be a great father. ❤️🧿
So Happy Taylor Swift songs that would not end in tears...If you want a Music video "Mine", "You Need to Calm Down" or "Our Song" would be good. Just as a song "Paper Rings", "Welcome to New York", or "Speak Now"
‘The Best Day’ always makes me think about my own late parents and the endless love I still feel from them even after they’ve passed on. They gave me a beautiful childhood and life.
To give you a break, you should react to No Body No Crime next... It's a three minute thriller, pretty dark, so I'm quite sure you won't cry! Plus maybe Gorgeous, a cute song that's gonna make you laugh. Or the video to 22, which is just fun. But you already know that song from the Eras Tour. I love that your wife has become a Swiftie too 😊
OH FOR THE LOVE OF SQUIRRELS! I admit I haven't listened to every single TS song (close, but not every one) -- and I'd never heard this one. OMG! My son is 24 now and getting married in the fall. For half a second I thought "oh, this would be lovely to do the mom-son dance" then immediately, as I heard more lyrics, thought "OMG NO! I'd just be bawling!" So for sure not the mom-son dance song, but soooooo beautiful and really rips the heart. I really mourn my son's baby and childhood. I'd never tell him that. But I think most parents do. I adore my adult son, and of course love him beyond the ability to articulate it, but I also miss the baby and child he was.
What I admire of you it's your sincerity and how openly emotional you are. The way you talked about your dream and your sons is just so lovely and I can't stop thinking about the great dad they have! You just said the right thing, you want to give them everything you didn't have and more. I wish any parent out there was like you. Love these reactions. I think you deserve some lighthearted songs just to take a breath 😂 you should react to everything has changed, ME! or Karma, next.
This time YOU made me cry. I can relate so much to what you said about your childhood and the way you want to be the best dad for your children. I feel the same way, everyday.

Hahaaa so cute😝❤️😂
I know, right!
Same fr.
I feel SO You! Hahahahaha😂❤
I feel that
I saw the title and instantly thought “This man’s about to weep” 😂
DONT LET ANYONE TRICK YOU INTO RONAN, or SOON YOULL GET BETTER. EVEN TAYLOR DOESNT DO THEM!!
1 listen is enough type of songs lol
@@elibarides487 I do agree. I will let Ronan play on occasion so they get the royalties from it- but I just can’t turn it on to listen to.
Can I add Better Than The Whole Sky to this list please. I'm glad they exist, the songs are amazing, but they hurt my soul. It's one thing to see the happy/cry reactions like Never Grow Up and Best Day. But others I genuinely can't listen to x
Yeah maybe listen to those 2 on your own time!
never listen
Taylor's parents are Scott and Andrea. They are no longer married, but they are Taylor's team. They work together, to support Taylor's success.

Those 2 songs are for when you are due a good cry and have no plans for a few days to allow yourself recovery time.
@@elibarides487truly! I had like multiple months where I couldn’t listen to soon you’ll get better because my mum had gotten diagnosed with cancer. I can now but it’s truly hard hitting sometimes
He couldn't handle Ronan.....it breaks me every time I listen to it.
Luke, do not react to these two songs. You will not survive. It will be ugly. Please avoid thiese and bigger than the whole sky.
Also bigger than the whole sky
The male backing vocals is Mike Meadows, he has been with her since 2008, he also plays banjo, guitarr and keyboards in her band.
Thank you!! Saved me a Google lol 😂 🫶
Woah I thought paul was the only one! This mike guy needs more credit too!!
Love his voice! Thank you for letting me know ❤️💯
for me, "I just realised everything I have will someday be gone" will forever be one of her saddest lyrics
No but seriously. Shoot me in the heart. Every time.
“Remember that she’s getting older too” also hits me so hard
😭
My weak spot is people crying over Taylor’s music like it’s impossible for me not to cry too. You seem such a great man, Luke, your kids are lucky to have you 🫶
❤️❤️❤️❤️
when people say she only writes about breakups… they’re just incorrect.. she generously lets us into so many areas of her life, including her breakups but also so so so many other things 🥺
I’m so glad your wife watched Miss Americana! I don’t know how anyone could watch that and not love Taylor by the end.
Yes, another new Swiftie, we love to hear it!!
It was so cute!!
So, I hit play on this video and my 5 year old instantly started singing "Oh, darling don't you ever grow up" she knows this entire song and I didn't even know she did lol. So sweet!
Aw bless ❤
""you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world" makes me bawl everytime.

Can't believe she wrote these songs at such a young age 🦋

OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT SHE WATCHED MISS AMERICANA!!!! I love this so much!!!!!

FYI that was the original version of The Best Day. Taylor did release a new music video for The Best Day (Taylor's Version) with new clips and pics.
Literally just said aloud for no one to hear - "Oh nooo, Luke why???" when YOU cry, I cry!!
Same!
😂😭
@@GOTGames So hey at least you know some of us are sharing in your tears and laughter lol
Taylor released her song the best day in May, 2009 to honor her mother on Mother’s Day that year. She was only 19 years old the time.
Taylor is extremely close to her parents. Her mom, Andrea, was diagnosed with cancer a couple years ago. Don't worry, she recovered, but Taylor wrote a song about it called Soon You'll Get Better. It's a beautiful song but only listen to it at your own risk. Don't be afraid to cry! You're crying for a beautiful reason❤ PS: Your wife is a keeper😂❤
Definitely one that is going to make me cry, I had no idea about her mother 😢
I lost my father in Dec 2022 and the line when she says to “remember what it sounds like when your dad comes home”. Makes me think of exactly that and makes me bawl. I miss my father so much EVERY DAY 😢
Hugs and love to you. I unfortunately know exactly what you mean. Hits me like a semi. He passed in 2018. 🫶
It's THE WORST. Lost my dad in April 2022...so unexpectedly. Taking care of my 86 yr old mum and trying so hard to appreciate every moment...
I'm sorry to hear that! Much love to you ❤❤❤❤
I’m crying. So profoundly sorry for your loss. Sending love. ❤
If you want an unapologetically happy song, you need to watch the ME! mv. It gets a lot of unfair hate - ironically so, considering we see how happy it made Tay in the MA doc. It's an upbeat self-love anthem.
Agreed! I suggested pairing it with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, because he’s already reacted to the live performance and the video is silly, fun, but still technically very impressive.
the fact that you feel that way about your kids is so beautiful, you’re already a hero ❤️❤️❤️
Mom of three here. Don't worry, I cry every time I hear this song too. I cried right along with you during this reaction. You're doing awesome!
❤️❤️❤️
The way you react to these songs is exactly the reason Taylor touches as many people as she does. She's honest, normal, and completely relatable to the average person.
You sound like such a good father; it's honestly making me emotional seeing you get all emotional about your kids. And even if they grow up enough to not jump into bed in the morning with you anymore, the love between you all will just take on a different form and it always will be there no matter how old they and you are.
I haven’t even started yet and I’m already so sorry for the amount of tears you’re about to shed
My latest guilty pleasure: watching another adult man breaking into tears over TS again and again. 😭 This is the most wholesome thing in the Internet. Gentlemen, we have the right to cry without being sympathized.
I was like "He's got through the first verse & chorus, you got this!"
Luke: HOLD MY FLOODGATES
🤣
You seem like such a wonderful father. Because of how you are with your boys, they will most likely continue to jump into the bed with you long into the future. It will change, but that love you feel and the connection will be there.
This was my surprise song at one of the eras tour shows I went to (KC Night 1), and I just held my 7 year old daughter and sobbed. This has been a song I sing to my kids since they were born. 💜💜
My oldest son is getting married this year…enjoy every second, every phase, even the struggles!
“Thanks for saying that” is something Taylor still says til this day
WHY LUKE! Why do I dehydrate this much watching you cry. I'm 37, no kids, bad childhood also and just can't stop crying but being so happy for you! I think your reactions are based on your empathy for the world, and my reactions to you are based on my empathy as well 😂 love you man!
Before I even get into this, based on the title alone I was like 'Oh no this is gonna wreck him' lmao. These are such good songs tho, they always get me in my feels as well
Taylor: "You're little hands wrapped around my finger an-"
Luke: 😭😭😭😭😭😭
We Swifties love to cry with you! Also, I can tell you with 100% certainty that you are already a hero to your family. Thanks for always being so real and comfortable with showing emotion... it's the reason why we are all in love with Taylor's music and your reactions. Can't wait to see your wife start reacting with you! Bless her.
If you want something that might not make you cry, check out "MASTERMIND." The lyrics are incredible. It's one of my top 3 favorites and it can be interpreted differently, but we Swifties feel like it was written for us! You'll get it once you hear it. :) I love TuesTays and FriTays! Thank you!
LUKE: i cry when taylor walks on the stage
ME: same same 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Well, that's the worst thing people could do to you except "Ronan". 😀
That video needs a you will sob warning.
I think him reacting to Ronan might be TOO much lol
....and Bigger Than The Whole Sky.
@@Talia_M_Adams That's too much for everyone!! 😂
I feel Ronan should be a private listen.
You mentioned doing Cardigan. If you do that one, you should add Betty and August because all three of those songs are connected as a love triangle told from three different perspectives. I don’t think those will make you cry.
"You've been so kind to me, but at the same time, fuck you." Is so fair and valid. Lol. If it's any consolation, we're crying too.
😂
Bahahahaha this comment is everything
Oh Luke, I know exactly how you feel about your own childhood and making sure your kids have better ones. You are breaking cycles. It’s traumatic but so rewarding, you can look back when your boys are grown and be so so proud of yourself ❤
This was my favorite reaction that I’ve seen you do! Not because it’s Taylor but because of your reaction as a Dad and how clearly devoted you are to your family. I love the song “Best day”, Great job! Whatever your job is, that is what you do, not who you are………your family is who you are. Keep up the great work and thanks for being vulnerable, you’re a special person. Take care.
I'm missing my Granddaughters really bad right now😢 My oldest who was 6 at the time said NaNa this song is for you. She turned that song on for me to hear. She understands when I tell her that she and her sister will always be my babies . She gets it. I just bawlled.
I love that you show your emotions. We're working to break the toxic idea that men don't cry or show emotions. I love listening to Taylor because she taps into my emotions like no one else can.
Watching this makes me so happy that there are men like you raising children in this world. Thank you for sharing these thoughts and moments with us. ❤
Seconding this! ❤❤❤
I hope that 20 years in the future your son's look back to this video and reply to you: Dad, you are my Hero ❤
What a great double feature TuesTay ✨
We all knew you'd have a tough time with these but they're such beautiful songs that you'll carry with you for the rest of your life
Your kids are so blessed to have a DAD like you !!! Full of love and not afraid to show your emotions. Bravo kiddo. Taylor is a gem, and I feel so protective of her now.... must be in the Dad in me. Hope you feel better soon.
You are just a wonderful human being, Luke. You’re kind, you’re intelligent, you’re fiercely protective of your family, you’re funny and witty. You’re a super nerd, as most of us are. I just think everyone deserves a friend like you. And if everyone had a friend like you to look up to, the world would be a much better place. Your kiddos are going to be so proud of you. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us, and thank you for being who you are. I’m proud of you, too 🫶🏻
I saw her in Philadelphia on Mother’s Day and the best day was one of the secret songs and she cried singing it it was beautiful
When Taylor says in the video, " Thank you for saying that"....to yhis day, she still says that when getting a complement. How crazy is that....she's the best ever❤❤
I have never heard someone talk about how they aspire to be an amazing dad like you do. You are awesome for that and your babies and you are lucky to have each other.
My 19yo daughter and I had front row tickets for KC night 1, and NGU was one of our surprise songs (plus the Eras tour debut of Long Live). Right after the show ended, my daughter turned to me and said, "I don't know how we're going to top this." 😭😭 It's a night I will never forget.
How does she do his? She captures moments in her life that digs deep into universal experiences. That’s her magical musical heart. That’s why we love her. She,for every blessing she has, she still connects us all through song.
You are a gem of a man
Swifties LOVE Andrea and Scott Swift. They both interact with the fans heavily. Scott crusies around at concerts and hands out guitar picks to fans (I think he always has picks in his pocket wherever he goes). Andrea would circulate among fans and selected fans to come meet Taylor. They divorced in 2012 (?) but both are still VERY present in her life and often spent holidays together, etc.
Liking this before I even watch it because I appreciate you putting yourself through this emotional turmoil for us ❤
Here so fast!! Grab those tissues! 😬😬😬
Oh!!! I’m so happy to hear your wife loves Taylor now. 🥰 She should definitely want to see her in concert now.
man it just warms my heart every time you talk about your kids. wish i had a dad like you
She sang "The Best Day" on Mother's Day last year on the Eras Tour acoustic set and *obviously* dedicated it to her mom who was at the show! She choked up for a second after singing "You're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world". That line gets me every time.
Luke you’re dream will come true for sure. Your love for your boys is such a sight to behold. I love you and Taylor. You’re both cut from the same cloth. Empaths to the core
My mom just got diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer and isn't able to do chemo to help... they gave her less than a year... hearing The Best Day and Soon You'll Get Better makes me bawl every time... my mom is my best friend. Also, I have 3 kids, so as a mother, Never Grow Up makes me cry, because my kids are 8,7, and 4.... I cherish EVERY SINGLE MOMENT with my kids and my momma....
I’m so sorry. My mom died of the same thing. It’s so hard, but you’re not alone.
Awww Luke, thank you for sharing so much with us about your parents and your boys. You are so loved ❤
You have me bawling my eyes out!! Your boys are so beautiful and blessed to have such wonderful parents. They will both say that their daddy is their hero. ❤
I’m beyond excited that we now have a new Swiftie in your household. You won’t need to talk her into going to her concert now! I love that she couldn’t stop watching it. Maybe one day she’ll be willing to say hello to us.
These 2 songs are just rollercoasters for anyone who has a child, has amazing parents…. It’s so heartwarming and beautiful to hear her genius get straight to our hearts with her lyrics.
Go cuddle your boys. May they stay small just a little bit longer. ❤
Hugs to you and your whole family.
If you want a genuinely happy and upbeat Taylor song, you could go with Paper Rings from Lover! It's fluffy and bouncy and it's one of my favourites.
I'm crying too, you aren't alone.
Never Grow up is my song with my daughter. She was 6 when it came out.
She's 19 now. Just wait. The song hits even harder when they leave the house.
My 37 year old daughter was making bracelets for trading at the Eras concert. The bracelets spell out Taylor’s songs. My daughter made one for me that a said, “The Best Day” because it reminded her of us. 🥰
I have a 37yr old son an a 35yr old daughter,both still live at home,I was kicked out at 15 because my parents were alcoholics an my mum was very bad at parenting the 5 of us yes 5 kids,im the oldest so I raised my siblings since I was 6yrs old,she didn't raise them I did,my kids can stay at home till their ready,my daughter will be gone in a few months I reckon,my son nah he's here for good I think,lol,,but hey we are all different parents,im not my mother that's for sure,,love your kids always,we had them they never asked to be here we brought them into the world so for me it's a lifetime job till their ready,,tears are flowing here watching this,taylor swift I love you girl my kids are older than you,so I'm proud to be a swiftie at 60..🏴🏴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🏴🏴
Yes, finally! I've been waiting for these reactions since your 'Christmas Tree Farm' reaction. I'm so glad you loved them. Just a little fun fact for you: 'Never Grow Up' was actually written for her little brother, Austin.
Also, if you want more songs to cry to, and you will cry if you listen to them: 'Soon You'll Get Better' from Lover was written for her mother during her second battle with cancer, and 'Ronan' from the Red vault was written for a charity concert by the mother of the titular little boy who sadly passed at four years old. You'll also probably love 'I'm Only Me When I'm With You', which was written for her friends all the way back in 2006 on her debut / self-titled album.
nice reaction!!! you should react to "cardigan" and "willow" in that order, they work together
YES!!
This is the video I’ve waited for since you started reacting to Taylor 😭
when never grow up came out originally, i was still a kid and related to the second verse. whens Taylor's version came out, i was a freshman in college, freshly moved out of my home into a strange new place, sobbing in my dorm bed
I keep thinking that “The Best Day” will make a great song for Mums to dance with their kids at their wedding! Hugs to everyone!
I knew just seeing the titles that you were going to be sobbing, but both songs are so beautiful. I'm glad you did The Best Day second, that way you could end it happier. Love you.
Bigger than the whole sky is one that breaks me into pieces. I can relate extremely.
Luke, I love your emotional reaction to Taylor Swift. 🥺 You've turned your lovely wife into a Swiftie. 😁 I love that you love your sons so much and want to be a great father. ❤️🧿
So Happy Taylor Swift songs that would not end in tears...If you want a Music video "Mine", "You Need to Calm Down" or "Our Song" would be good. Just as a song "Paper Rings", "Welcome to New York", or "Speak Now"
Oh my gosh, your wife! I LOVE IT! Just absolutely so happy to hear that! YAY 👏👏👏👏👏👏
damn i was like i've seen the "the best day" video so many times i'm sure i won't cry THIS time too... and then here i am sobbing AGAIN
‘The Best Day’ always makes me think about my own late parents and the endless love I still feel from them even after they’ve passed on. They gave me a beautiful childhood and life.
This reaction melted me❤
To give you a break, you should react to No Body No Crime next... It's a three minute thriller, pretty dark, so I'm quite sure you won't cry! Plus maybe Gorgeous, a cute song that's gonna make you laugh. Or the video to 22, which is just fun. But you already know that song from the Eras Tour.
I love that your wife has become a Swiftie too 😊
OH FOR THE LOVE OF SQUIRRELS! I admit I haven't listened to every single TS song (close, but not every one) -- and I'd never heard this one. OMG! My son is 24 now and getting married in the fall. For half a second I thought "oh, this would be lovely to do the mom-son dance" then immediately, as I heard more lyrics, thought "OMG NO! I'd just be bawling!" So for sure not the mom-son dance song, but soooooo beautiful and really rips the heart. I really mourn my son's baby and childhood. I'd never tell him that. But I think most parents do. I adore my adult son, and of course love him beyond the ability to articulate it, but I also miss the baby and child he was.
What I admire of you it's your sincerity and how openly emotional you are. The way you talked about your dream and your sons is just so lovely and I can't stop thinking about the great dad they have! You just said the right thing, you want to give them everything you didn't have and more. I wish any parent out there was like you.
Love these reactions. I think you deserve some lighthearted songs just to take a breath 😂 you should react to everything has changed, ME! or Karma, next.
This time YOU made me cry. I can relate so much to what you said about your childhood and the way you want to be the best dad for your children. I feel the same way, everyday.
