thank you all so much for 150K holy crap!!! i still have no idea how this happened 😭
join us on IG to be in the next unpopular opinions video here: instagram.com/agirlnamedally 🌷
so happy you’re finlly getting the recognition you deserve 😭🎀 you’re a gemmm
You posted this 1 min after I made my comment abt that 😭 not a coincidence.
getting the fame you deserve ❤️💐
YAY!
Congrats Ally, you deserve it and much much more!
ALSO on the “tour becoming stale” notion, it just goes back to how female artists are expected change up their looks and sounds and constantly do something different
THIS ed sheeran come out every night in a T-shirt and no one tells him to change up his set list and be more interesting....
I also don’t think anyone would say that if we didn’t watch all the videos from you tube of the concert. If you were seeing it for the first time when there, without spoilers, I think it would still feel fresh.
Who else are you paying $1000/nosebleeds to see? I know Ed ain’t making that much.
@@shilohgoes5544 Era's nosebleeds are not 1000$ face value
PREACH
I'm SO tired of people complaining about the Eras Tour "getting old" or saying that it should have stayed in 2023 like helloooooo, international fans have been waiting for a year to experience it ? Knowing that I will get to see Taylor and have this incredible experience in May is literally the post exciting thing in my year ! Good for you if you're privileged enough to get tired of it, but I'm personally just happy that she's doing an actual international tour and I managed to not overconsume tour content as well so I can keep it more fresh as well
unfortunately as soon as i heard this opinion i went "i bet a us fan wrote this"
Absolutely, as an international fan I'm so grateful I get to go. I've only been watching the accoustic sets so it doesn't become too familiar.
yessss, us fans are so self centered. i hope she extended the maximum she can
Exactly I’m a US fan but I unfortunately haven’t seen the eras tour yet but Taylor has given us so much different variants of outfits, capes, coats, blazers, dresses, jackets, guitars, and surprise songs. Also with guest appearances like phoebe bridgers, HAIM, and Aaron Dessner, along with mashups of songs. If you have eras tour tickets and you’re still ungrateful saying it’s old and underwhelming, you shouldn’t have tickets in the first place.
Edit:
Also Taylor has added long live to the set list who is to say she’s not going to add more
Same, I'm from Argentina and it was incredible to see her in my country for the first time
Ok wait…. The re-records took a lot of time and effort, not only on her part, but the producers, musicians, etc. They fully deserve a moment to shine on their own. I’m glad she highlighted them in her own way.
as a 2014 sabrina stan, she deserved this recognition SO much, also would've DIED for can't blame a girl & the middle of starting over to be on her setlist
SAME
It's crazy because I saw Sabrina in concert in 2015 and when I saw photos of her at the Eras Tour I had to do multiple double takes. It didn't look anything like the same person I saw in 2015.
Do you have a time stamp for Sabrina ?
41:45 “I wish they could brush it in between sets” that’s not how curly hair works 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I know I’m the girl who left the comment, I have thick frizzy curly wavy hair but I have left a comment that summerises my thoughts if you want to know my thoughts around it rather than assume I don’t know how curly hair works
@@chaosediting brushing her hair in between sets would just make it worse though
@@chaosediting also your comment wasn’t there when I originally made my comment so I apologize and will go read your comment now 🙃
@@sydneyruewho13 thank you !!
@@sydneyruewho13imagine her doing Vigilante Sh!t with brushed curly hair 😆😆😆
completely agree with your take on the variants and vinyls, Taylor has never once asked us to buy all of the variants or even buy an album, the expectation is if you love her art you can support her however you see fit. congrats on 150k btw!
Yes thank you! I agree as well. I’m getting so tired of this narrative of being upset about the variants. You don’t have to buy them!
that’s not really what people are complaining about though. it’s normal to create variants, the thing people are complaining about is the fact that she’s selling them as limited time exclusives with exclusive songs, which is absolutely encouraging people to buy them all since they probably won’t be on streaming for ages.
when other artists do it, they’re often up at the same time and you can pick your favorite cover and you can’t do that here. and fx when olivia had the secret tracks, she didn’t advertise it as that and you could just pick your favorite song when the album was out and buy that vinyl variant, if that makes sense. like, it’s not really the variants (everyone knows that’s just a marketing strategy to get more money) but more so the limited time and exclusiveness of them that encourages overconsumption, not to mention that you have to buy them separately if you want multiple and pay for extra shipping.
i don’t know if this makes sense but i just think it’s a bit ridiculous that so many people jump the people who are sick of the variants and immediately go “no one is forcing you to buy them” when 1) that’s not the point and 2) we are absolutely being encouraged to buy them all with this marketing strategy- it’s possible to critique someone and still be a fan.
@@annasofie9830 huh ok, now that you explain it that way I can understand that perspective, particularly with the shipping aspect.
I do think on my part it’s going to be an agree to disagree reaction because although I’d love to have all of the variants, paying for my life is far more important to me. And this isn’t meant to suggest that it’s not important to other people or that their priorities are in any way different from mine. Just an explanation as to why I personally don’t really care about the way the variants are being released.
I think both points of the frustration and the “then just don’t buy them 🤷🏻♀️” are valid. I do think the amount of vitriol flung at Taylor on the internet right now isn’t proportional to the frustration though. People just like to hate a little too much sometimes and it’s louder than the genuine frustration that you’re expressing. Not at all saying you’re part of the vitriol, I appreciate the way you outlined your thoughts on the subject, just what I’ve been seeing on TikTok is a lot less reasonable.
@@annasofie9830 fair argument, it's okay to be frustrated at being marketed to with fomo, but I also don't think it's that deep and her art isn't owed to us in any other way apart from the way she chooses to put it out
@@annasofie9830 of course She encourages people to buy her albums, It would be strage otherwise. I studied marketing and the point of any campaign Is to convince people to spend Money and make them feel like they Need to buy the item. It's not something extordinary She does. The point Is that this are luxury items, so I don't think it's sketchy to release so many variants, people are complaining not even knowing how much they Will have to wait to listen to these songs and It feels silly to me. We respond "nobody Is forcing you to buy" because literally nobody is. You can support an artist in so many other ways that I don't get the outrage about the topic. This is literally why She Is a billionaire, just don't buy the variants of you don't support her marketing strategy 🤷🏼♀️ I myself haven't bought any cause I just want to listen to all the songs and then decide.
i cannot BELIEVE that person said sabrina doesn't deserve to open for eras!! i've loved emails i can't send since the album came out, and it's been lovely seeing her rise to fame. totally agree that openers should be rising stars. all the love for sabrina.
I agree. I think Sabrina was the best eras opener
‘I can see you’ was deffo left in the vault because it was too spicy for her image at the time 😂
Nah I think it got left off was because of her mom and her team she probably wanted to put it on the album but preferred other songs to it and it doesn’t really fit the vibe of the album
Mashups also offer a new perspective on the songs, it's new context that I find very interesting! And love!
Yes but I'd still like her to sing all the remaining unplayed songs in full. There's less than 50 left (30ish + about 6 for rep and debut each), that's about 20 shows. She can also do full song + manshup song. I want all the songs to have their full moment in the sun.
mashing up getaway car and august was spicy!!
@@delightfulmochasespecially interesting because I'm pretty sure taylor and tom hiddleston were broken up by the end of summer
yoyok and 15 was criminal...she should be jailed for that one LIKEEEEE
i am SO with you on the electric touch opinion !! 😭 i honestly didn't know most people don't like it
same electric touch is so good and i’m surprised people didn’t love it !!
i like the song and i loove their voices individually but i think the way their voices have been mixed/recorded are very different so fit the song in different ways. i feel like maybe id have liked it more if they were actually in the studio together but the fact that it was recorded separately makes it a bit mehhh for me.
I would have liked it but the melody / delivery just does not grab me.
I can see you and electric touch were the stand outs for me on the SN vault tracks, I'm always shocked by the electric touch slander
i listened to sntv for the first time with one of my swiftie friends and one of my non swiftie friends. my non swiftie friend said it was the best song from the whole album (she had only heard enchanted before listening with us). i will be defending electric touch it is such a banger
About ‘seven’ Taylor uses a rhetorical device very common in poetry but not so common in music, it's called enjambment. In poetry it happens when the line has a break, when the verse does not end on the first line but continues on the second. Giving a double meaning, so the listener in this case has to wait to know the full meaning. She’s a genius, that’s why folklore is full of meaning and poetry
Believe she also uses caesura quite a lot could be mistaken tho
Which line in seven is it? :)
Was about to write this lol. I remember from my undergrad lit courses
People should stop complaining about what surprise songs they got. I have not gone and I am so grateful for the movie, livestreams, etc.
I think today's uber fans are so demanding and self centered the way they're complaining so much.
You are right about the Album vinyls. People talk about it as if they're being forced to buy them. Like if you can't afford 4 vinyls don't buy 4 vinyls, the Sky won't fall down.
💯
The thing is less about the variants per se, and more about the bonus tracks that will make it to streaming who knows when (still waiting for Sweeter than Fiction TV). If you want to listen to all bonus tracks (at least until next year or so), you have to get all variants. Also, the fact there's no Midnights version with every bonus track, physical or digital.
@@ArthurVicentinibut you can find it on UA-cam, I found hits different and you’re losing me around the times they both came out (hits different with the actual release and you’re losing me after MetLife). I have never owned any vinyls and I am fine with that knowing that I can find them online and that they will be released. I have found sweeter than fiction tv on UA-cam and TikTok, so I have a very strong feeling that I will easily find ttpd exclusives there as well. In reality, this is her own version of vault tracks for this album so I’m happy we get even more content from this album.
my thoughts on this are rooted in the idea that they are not essential items: they're just like rare pokemon cards in all honesty! you'd have a budget, you'd walk into target, buy packs of cards, and get what you got. all we're doing is randomly picking a bonus track, instead of randomly picking packs of cards! i think it creates a fun collector experience within the community because on release day, you KNOW i'm going to be looking for opinions on The Manuscript, The Albatross, and The Black Dog from fellow swifties.
But it's just another thing. The market is so oversaturated with Taylor albums that there is zero resale value to them. It's not like RSD where there are a handful of pressings and that's it (ie Long Pond Sessions or Lover Live from Paris). These albums won't be rare and won't fetch anything. I collect vinyl. Record stores are actually over this multiple variant crap from all artists, not just taylor.
i wouldnt mind the variants as much if she dropped them all at the same time, so we could choose which one we wanted rather than buying one and then her releasing another
not trying to be shady but u can buy and then cancel your variant :) that’s literally what I have done ( cancelled manuscript variant to buy albatross) 😊
@WishVersionOfDerek I cancelled my og and bought the albatross and then she released the black dog 😭 I'd rather have that one but I cba to keep cancelling and re ordering 😂
Tbf I liked the staggered drop bc it gave us something to look forward to and it was a fun way to hype us up for the album without releasing a single. Plus she'll bring them all back to the store so there's no stress
It would also be nice if you could decide which one you wanted after actually hearing the songs instead of them being exclusive and limited before you even get a chance to know which one you’d want.
@@leishaliz - I'm pretty sure they'll be made available after the release date, I think they usually are.
THANK YOU for saying Electric Touch is brilliant and some Swifties miss the rock sound and are BEGGING for a rock album, I completely agree! Electric touch is one of my favorites and her rock sound is so underrated. We need her rock era immediately!
Thanks fo aknowledging what happened to Ana Clara Benevides, the Brazilian fan who passed away in Rio de Janeiro. Being Brazilian and "seeing" a fellow fan go through such traumatizing experience broke my heart.
genuinely unfathomably heartbreaking
I was SHOCKED when I saw people, including Swifties, saying how she “dissed” Celine. I think Taylor was shocked she won AOTY and processing it. Also…Celine didn’t seem bothered. They hugged backstage so…I think things are fine!
I hate how that became the main topic. Taylor just made history, that should've been the focus.
i 100 percent agree with this i think people were over reacting
I totally agree with you, it was frustrating to see people claim that the backstage hug was damage control and her team were scrambling to get them together. Honestly just creating stories to create drama
@@Filippan00and the fact it was fans to making it worse the whole couple days after sucks because she had just made history
You nailed explaining the singing along/screeching at a concert nuance. We arent saying dont sing along and have a blast. Were saying theres a difference between screaming along to "what a shame shes fucked in the head" with the entire crowd and literally screeching through entire songs back to back to back. Especially slower songs like the archer etc etc. People wanna call us spoil sports when we bring up concert etiquette but like when did we start ONLY caring about our own experience
Honestly I am seeing this kind of attitude all the time in everything since covid, the idea that self is more important and not caring if our actions hurt others experiences. Even just driving there has been a difference.
Exactly this! So many people have the attitude of “I paid a lot of money to be here so I can do what I want” but like, everyone else there did too😭 It literally takes *less* energy to not be screaming like a banshee the entire time. Just be considerate of others and it’ll be a more pleasant experience for everyone.
girl bye no hate to whoever said that abt taylor’s “frizzy hair” i personally LOVE seeing it get curly and in general i love seeing her wear it curly. my hot take is i prefer the way her hair looks by midnights (specifically during vigilante shit or midnight rain) than it does freshly straightened during lover LET THE CURLS OUT TAYLOR
yes, yes, yes on the stopping pinning women against each other! especially with the olivia/sabrina thing, the lyric “you’re probably with that blonde girl” was actually originally “you’re probably with that brunette girl” but her producer suggested she change it because it went better with the melody & might also be confusing because olivia is a brunette herself. so actually, the song was never even about sabrina and people just love to make up drama and play a game of women vs. women because they don’t have any better way to spend their time. love your videos, ally!
i heard that too but then Sabrina had that song Skin which went, "Maybe then we could pretend
There's no gravity in the words we write
Maybe you didn't mean it
Maybe blonde was the only rhyme"
so i think they were probably referencing each other but that they were just using their art to process and get out their emotions. It'd be so cool if they made a song together! ❤
@@marigolden_mariposa I would love that - would really shut the haters up
@@ash6823 same here!! I'm so tired of hearing this sabrina and Olivia are beefing!!
The thing about Seven... first of all, I'm pretty sure this is my all time favorite song because of the emotions I feel hearing it... but that line "I hit my peak at seven, feet in the swing.." has a triple meaning to me. 1. She hit her peak at seven, 2. seven feet is how high she got in the swing, 3. Feet in the swing paints the picture that that's the way she was swinging to get that high above the creek. She's a lyrical genius 🥰
I love this line too. But have always added a 4th interpretation too, which may be completely off-base. But Lover was her 7th album and the one she wrote when she felt most safely in love, so I’ve always thought this was also a metaphor to express that. I thought that might be why she pauses a bit between singing ‘7’ and ‘feet’, so 7 could just for a moment stand on its own.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 😊 But I like this because I’d also like to think it means she actually doesn’t think she hit her peak at the age of 7. 😂
@@katrinamoran1209 oh, true! She hit her peak on her 7th album... possibly. I took the line "I hit my peak at 7" meaning that was the last time she remembers being "free" and didn't care about what people thought of her like in the line "I used to scream, ferociously, anytime I wanted".
This was one of the suprise songs at the concert I went to in PA and it was such a win I felt.
@@heyheyhey7988 yesss, I saw videos of the performance... I WISH the poem she does for it for her Folklore transition made it to the movie 😔
I agree! I feel like the way she says it is supposed to emphasise the double meaning
THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT SABRINA!!!! SHE'S SOOO DESERVING TO BE ON THE ERAS TOUR
Ugh. I can’t stand Sabrina.
@@ascendednightingale2456I can’t stand you
@@ascendednightingale2456keep it to yourself, we don’t care
why not?@@ascendednightingale2456
@@ascendednightingale2456 That’s okay. People can have preferences and opinions. As long as you’re not making very hateful comments toward her (some even send de@th threats), it’s alright.

NO BUT LITERALLY
absolutely dead over the one that said "we don't want paramore", imagine just coming out and announcing you have no music taste like that 💀
TRULY
As a person who got Sabrina as her tour opener, she totally deserved it. She has been famous enough to be "chosen", and most importantly, she was so incredibly fun and amazing, rocked that stage!
When Emma Falls In Love was the surprise song with Never Grow up in Kansas City N1! I was there!! ❤
I was at KC night 2!!! And I was outside the stadium for N1!
I was there for kc n1 as well!!! Incredible show!!
Me too!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for pointing that out, I was confused for a moment lol 😅
I was there too! Insane night tbh
WHATT?? people think the Eras' tour is getting STALE??? the tour is everything but!! that's so disrespectful to taylor and everyone who works on the tour (dancers, producers, lighting and effects, singers etc.) it's such a different experience every time with the mashups and surprise songs, and also the 22 hat and what people you interact with whilst in the crowd... also the thing about TTPD being on the Eras' setlist, i lowkey hope it's getting its own tour... but with the '5' albums thing, i think there will be songs added to the set list, but i really hope she doesn't remove too many songs. speak now has alr got nothing and same with debut, and her older albums deserve time to shine!!
edit: also, about the screeching and yelling from the crowds, i totally agree. it's so infuriating to hear someone behind or in front of you the ENTIRE CONCERT without actually being able to hear the singer. obviously don't sit there silent because you should be enjoying yourself but screeching?? i honestly preferred watching the tokyo clips/videos of the Eras' tour because the crowd was so respectful and quiet, but still looked like they enjoyed themselves and the US ones I've seen were all so loud and the only noise you could hear is a vulture in the back and not the actual person you paid to see 😭😭... like where are your manners??? i went to a JB concert when i was a kid and the only thing we could hear were two girls behind us laughing the whole time, i can't imagine how it would feel for someone who paid over $1000 to be there to only hear someone else screaming behind you 😭
You could actually buy CD variants of the TTPD bonus tracks, which were more affordable than the vinyls (I think they were like 15.00 USD). My only problem with the bonus tracks is that they weren’t available all at once, so if you wanted all 3, you had to pay 6.00 worth of shipping for every order
And try $60 Australian (40 in the US) shipping for 3 seperate orders
My unpopular opinion: it’s okay to not know every single Taylor song and being a little disappointed that you didn’t get a song you know as a surprise song is okay. Some people are new swifties and it’s a lot to learn EVERY song and EVERY lyric. Lots of older swifties are so quick to attack new swifties for not knowing every single song.
Idk I just think it's a little sad how someone can have dedicated years to taylor and listening to all her songs, learning all the words, learning the lore, buying merch or whatever and then not get tickets when someone who casually listens to folklore gets front row. In an ideal world EVERYONE who wanted to go could go but I think it's fair for the diehard fans to get that priority and be upset when a casual fan gets tickets, but at the end of the day I agree that there's no need to actively hate on someone for having a good time while simultaneously feeling bad for the bigger fan idk
@@thearcher.13 I wasn’t necessarily talking about casual fans, I was talking about newer swifties. Who are newer and learning about all her eras and stuff. Not people who only know the hits. For me, I started realllllly listening to Taylor when folklore dropped. (So in 2020) I knew all the hits from when I was younger and was a fan of 1989 but I didn’t become a swiftie until quarantine. It’s been 4 years and I still don’t know all her songs by heart so if I got a surprise song from fearless, which is an album I don’t typically gravitate towards, I would be a little disappointed, but not ungrateful. I just think people are really mean when you don’t know every. single. song. Ya know? Idk if that made any sense 😭
@@thearcher.13 I totally agree with you about die hard swifties not being able to get tixs tho!! The couple that sat next to me at my show only knew the hits and sat for the entirety of the show :/ which was annoying cause the man sitting next to me was man spreading the entire time and getting in my space for dancing LMAOOO
Tbh not even newer fans. I've been a fan for a long time. English is not my first language. She is the singer I listen to the most. However, I don't know every song.
I also feel that you can love a singer but also listen to some songs more than others... and thus, know by heart the ones that you listen to the most...
@Echolover1 oh no I totally agree and at the end of the day I dont get why ppl at the concert are getting annoyed at newer fans like they have tickets I don't get the issue?? Plus I feel like with surprise songs they're an added bonus so idk if it matters too much whether u know it or not so long as u know the setlist like I admit I'm psychotic and knowing every lyric to every song in her discography is not normal behaviour so I would never expect anyone else to yk 😭 oh and also shes got nearly 200 song that's a lot for a new fan to digest, when I started listening to her back catalog I already knew 1989 and rep off by heart so that's only four albums and I can't imagine how overwhelming it would be to try and learn 10 going on 11 plus all the vault songs all at once I rlly don't understand why older swifties can't sympathise but at the same time I guess it's hard to empathise when it was easier for them but oh well 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ (idk if that made sense but I tried)
I think the only reason why someone wouldnt be happy about a mash up is because someone might like to hear the whole song. So maybe shes playing your niche fave song and you're getting excited and your favorite part of the song is the bridge but because she's then doing a mash up the bridge gets erased. In this scenario I kind of get how someone could be not completly happy with a mash up.
I second this. This is how I felt about the Long Live/New Years Day mashup during the reputation tour. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it, but Long Live is my all time favorite Taylor song so I was kind of disappointed by the parts I didn’t get (For a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world). I’m glad that it was included, but also sad by what I missed.
I wanted to hear foolish one in full, but it was cut because it was mashed up with tell me why. Love both songs, but foolish one hadn’t been played live yet.
Taylor is always going to be all about metaphor and making connections. I actually love figuring out how she thinks the songs are connected to each other not just sonically but lyrically. Also, we forget to be grateful she is out there working her ass off to keep things fresh.
Yeah but if you wanted to hear long live go listen to the studio version she doesn’t change that much for the live songs 😊
The only thing I think the eras tour is missing is the floating platform she had for rep and (I think) 1989. I went in blind to the eras and realised after that I was really excited for the floating platform, only for it to not be part of the performance. ❤but I still love the entire stage and setlist to bits
Oh across the audience you mean?
with the variants, taylor is a business woman, they were def made with making her money in mind… with saying that, no one is holding you at gunpoint to buy them😭

don't laugh please, I came up with it in like 2 minutes
this is quite good if you want to prioritize the untoured albums, I'd add some more classics though
i sort of get this but it needs more hits for the locals. like wheres shake it off?????
TBH this is my ideal setlist. 💗 I personally don’t need to hear songs like Blank Space or We Are Never Getting Back Together for the millionth time live.
EDIT: Bestie you have My Tears Ricochet twice 🫶💕
Thanks diva, fixed it@@shaylaatiles
23:16 another reason you mainly see professional lover pics is because a lot of venues only allow professional concery photographers hired for an event to see the first 3-4 songs it's common practice if they let them see everything for free all they had to do was take photos everyone would be a concert photographer it all depends on the venue and how much they want to use the images
now THAT is interesting!!!
source please?
With the celine thing, everyone was allegedly told not to touch her due to her illness as she’s very delicate, they had a photo taken backstage in an environment that celine was more comfortable in
I really thought she said “he looks so pretty like a devil” in Cruel Summer … for the longest time ….
SAME I still hear it even tho I know that’s not the lyrics 😭
fun fact- i bought a taylor magazine and i looked thru and there were CAPITALIZED LETTERS!!!! I couldn’t believe it, and taking everything out it said:
“Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets”
i cut the letters out and taped them on my wall 😅😅
Im sorry, we’re gonna need more than just some „Taylor magazine” 😉
which magazine is it?
Totally agree with the vinyls. I get the feeling that this discourse is coming from the US market in general, the pressure to buy every single item that Taylor releases doesn't really exist outside of the US, at least in Europe I don't get that... I have a lot of swiftie friends and only one of them has 3 or 4 vinyls from Taylor, the rest of us don't and we are all living a very peaceful life and feeling hardcore swifties the same.
This is exactly how I feel, in my country owning even one TS vinyl would be a big deal. My country 🇿🇼 is going through an economic crisis as it is , I enjoy TS music as much as any one else but not being able to afford physical copies or merchandise is normal .You can love an artist without buying everything they make.
i have something to say about knowing about a concert/setlist before going into it! so i’m autistic, my sister has bad anxiety and ocd, and we ALWAYS look at setlists before we go to shows. we both get extremely nervous in crowds and me especially with loud noises but we love music so it really helps to at least have an idea of what songs are gonna be played. unfortunately haven’t made it to the eras tour or any other stadium tour, but i know the stress would be THROUGH THE ROOF for us, so it would help that i can literally name the entire setlist in order haha. might not be exactly how concerts are meant to be experienced but it sure helps us!
i completely agree knowing the setlist helps my anxiety too!!! i think it's great that we can choose to look up the setlist, i meant more that the people complaining it's getting boring are simply overconsuming it :)
@@AllySheehan oh i completely agree about the overconsumption! if you’re getting bored of the eras tour stop watching it lol! no one is forcing you!!
Your're not alone in your love of electric touch! It's my favourite speak now vault 💜
my struggle with adding Poets to the set list is that it definitely would mean that some songs would have to go and that would really bother me, given that i have not yet attended the show. i also have never been to any taylor tour so...i need to experience it all! and if she'd took out songs from red or 1989 that would be quite sad to me. but i would love for taylor to play the songs in the acoustic set, maybe she'll add songs to the acoustic set, that's an option i could imagine!
Yes i totally agree. I was really into Taylor during her "Red" and "1989" Era but was to young and didn't have the money to attend the Tour. The Eras Tour allows me to see parts of a already past Tour and I don't want to miss it. But also I would love to hear her new songs live aswell but not in a completley changed setlist
Same for me! It’s the first time she’s in my country and my first show of hers so I was really happy to kind of catch up on the all previous eras! And if I’d known the setlist’s gonna change, I’d try to buy some tickets last year and travel somewhere internationally and experience both versions
I honestly don’t think she’s gonna do it, mostly because I feel like if she was gonna add poets to the setlist she would’ve waited to release the eras tour movie until it would’ve been added, it just doesn’t make sense that she would release a concert film that was going to end up missing a chunk of the set list. I think she’ll definitely play songs from ttpd as surprise songs but it doesn’t make sense for her to add a whole new era to the tour.
how are you feeling post-Paris shows? 😅
@@midnightstracktwo i honestly think she found a perfect solution! the TTPD set is insane!! i'm dying to see it live in two months!! (still mourning long live, though, that was a hard one to take)
46:42 Ally I totally agree! I feel like because Taylor has given us so much music in such a short time, some people are now conditioned for “what’s next” and not “omg she gave us _____.” Yes it’s exciting to get new stuff but let’s enjoy what we have now.
yes!! personally, as soon as she released 1989 tv, i hated when my friend (+ many "swifties") completely disregarded it, and wanted reputation tv now. it feels unfair to taylor, who's worked so hard on the re-records to completely move on 2 weeks later. i also can't imagine when the re-records are over and we will go back to getting an album every two years; we're getting spoiled.
i had an ex friend who when i said that i found this rude chalked it up to "but they're just excited." we just got a TV full of vault tracks bestie. lets enjoy those. after a bit we can start sniffing again. but not after 2 weeks
Agree on the vinyls! people don't HAVE to buy them. The songs will appear online regardless.
As someone who buys vinyl, I do appreciate that the extra song is on there. It's makes the product worth more for me, as they have different covers, pressing colours & songs.
LOVED your segment on your etiquette, and your supporting reasoning was SPOT ON! Lol thank you 💕
Electric Touch was an instant favorite for me! Every time it comes on, I have to listen twice. I was so shocked when I realized that was not the popular consensus. Really just goes to show how personal & varied music taste is. And congratulations on reaching 150K!!! 🎉
Thank you thank you thank you!! Talking about concert etiquette is so needed. As a long time Swiftie and newly paralyzed Swiftie the concert experience was a nightmare. Grown women standing up on their seats (this is prohibited) and blocking our view (raised disabled area) as well as everyone behind them. I am unable to stand so now I get to look at their backs. It is really selfish to take away someone else’s concert experience.
I never even bothered to look at going into the movie theater for the concert movie because I knew people would stand and I would not get to see the movie. It really stinks being excluded from TS events or treated as second class
I'm really sorry that happened to you. There should've been security enforcing these very reasonable rules at the concert. I will say when I saw the movie in the theater here in Germany, we were all chilling and dancing in our seats rather than standing up but I can imagine it being different in the us.
Oh that's so terrible. I thought screaming the entire time was bad but standing on chairs is just awful. People don't seem to understand that they are compromising others when they do stuff like this 😕
I love Electic touch! Such a great song ❤. I also agree about the variants. Great video, so much fun to hear everyone's different opinions and well done for over 150k I can't think of anyone more deserving x
There actually is 5 albums! Debut, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights
I absolutely agree about the screeching. I saw the movie next to someone who couldn’t hold a tune in a bucket and it significantly worsened the experience. And those were far cheaper tickets than the concert!
As someone who went opening night I can tell you when she dove my mind was absolutely BLOWN!!! I think you explain it beautifully when you say that we have been spoiled with social media and live streams etc. in person, it just hits different (🤪) but really it just does.
I agree about Electric Touch. It suits her Pennsylvania and Nashville roots and vocal quality, and her showmanship.
I went pretty spoiler free before my melb n3 show. I knew roughly which songs were and weren't on the setlist. I avoided the livestreams, full yt videos, and the film beforehand. Honestly after watching live and then the film, I'm very glad I made the decision/held back before my show :)
in a dream world, we would get 1 mashup and 1 full song each night !!
I thought the same !!
Like HYGTG and White Horse x coney island
No enchanted HAS to start as well as long live I think she'll just add castles crumbling along with it like she did for nothing new and no body no crime
when she added nbnc she removed ttds💔
@@allin9745im still a bit bitter that we didn’t get nbnc or ttds in the film💔
No body no crime temporarily replaced tis the damn season
@@abbyo6578we should’ve got it in a one w cardigan
Can't get rid of "Enchanted" or "Long Live". There's something so ethereal about seeing her float out on the stage to that incredible song after her spicy Reputation set.
My personal theory on concert/theater etiquette taking a dip is similar to yours, in that I think a lot of people got out of the pandemic and were so excited about going to shows again, they did fully internalize this as being about themselves and not about their community.
I also think with how expensive shows are now, it's a bigger investment and therefore people feel they have more of a right to engage with it however they want.
Well done on 150k !!!!! I totally agree that you can choose what variants you get, you do not have to buy them all, they’re is just different varieties for people who want something different xxxxx
Thank you so much for what you said on both the variants debate and the Celine situation.
I felt like I was going actually insane seeing all the news coverage of Taylor “dissing” Celine, and it baffled me that people couldn’t tell how overwhelmed she was at that moment.
As for the variants, you said it perfectly: they’re luxury collectors items. I’m fortunate enough to have some money set aside that I can use for them, and I know that’s not the case for everyone. I’m not able to buy A LOT of stuff I want from her merch store, but that wouldn’t make me want those things to not exist for someone else to buy and enjoy!
As always, love the video 🥰
as a record collector, i completely agree with you on the records and variants. I find it fun having options to different variants to buy. and you don’t have to buy them all, you can buy whatever you want or not buy them at all because yes they are expensive
also, as a very big sabrina fan for 5 years, i think she was a great fit for the tour, she’s been a taylor fan for YEARS, along with she’s very relevant right now, i went to the second leg of the eics tour and it was incredible, she’s a great performer and was a great fit for the eras tour.
We just found out there are seven explicit tracks on TTPD! And there are always clean/radio friendly versions of songs made available, just listen to that instead (as opposed to wishing an artist would choose words you like better).
Ally you have such an interesting point about the different variants, I never thought of it that way and I completely agree with you, when you look at it from that perspective, it makes complete sense and I love that you brought this up!
With the celine dion thing, I also read about how before the Grammys they said to everyone not to touch/hug Celine due to her brittle bones syndrome so she was just respecting her as well but of course thanked her as you said🩷🩷
She doesn’t have brittle bone syndrome, it’s stiff person syndrome
Why did she touch her during the backstage photo then?
She put her arm around her
@@gladyskihara4736 Probably cause you can talk beforehand. When you accept an award you don't really have time to chat with the people giving you the award.
@@JamieNoah638 You aren't understanding me. The top comment stated Taylor didn't acknowledge Celine with a hug or touch due to stiff person syndrome. I stated that Taylor touched her and put her arm around her in that backstage photo. So Celine's condition wasn't the issue here
History class ≤ new Ally video
Scientifically the best way to start the week
lol currently doing history homework
My dad heard that style went like this: you got that james dean daydream look in your eye/and i got that brad pitt classic thing that you like
Style (Fruity Version)
I attended a show with full songs (same one as you ally) and loved the songs we got. When I heard the mash ups for the first time I LOVED them. Felt like something new and exciting to follow along. I was tuning in to all the lives to see which songs she would mash up. But I do hope she goes back to full songs on the next leg of her tour. Or maybe do one full song and mash up. Loved this video 😊❤
Totally agree! Electric touch is a banger. Idk why people don’t see that
Also the people with the I’d lie opinions must be deeply hurt to have such takes
sorry i'm so passionate about ttpd NOT being added to the setlist. midnights was the catalyst for the eras tour. an album about sleepless nights throughout her life, songs full of stories from all her PREVIOUS albums. midnights was the perfect representation of eras that's why it was released right before the tour. all the merch, the concert film etc is only up to ts10. it would be so odd to switch everything up this far into the tour. but to be fair, that's why i was so sure she wouldn't release non re recordings during the tour. idk if she would tour ttpd on it's own later... idk if she would add a whole new era to the already solid eras lineup... when i mentioned this first world problem to my mom she said "this is why no one does an eras type of tour until they're 1 step away from retirement! what do you do when you're the most active you've ever been still releasing so much music!!"
electric touch is so so so so so good!!! i love that song so much and the chorus goes so hard and the all i know note change in the bridge is chefs kiss 💜
Agreed with almost every one of your opinions, ESPECIALLY the concert etiquette one 🤣 also your hair is SLAYING Ally
I also LOVE electric touch - also when she played it acoustically you can hear that the melody is beautiful
8:29 if Castles Crumbling gets added to the set list I will pass away in my seat during my show
sameeee....i love that song
SAME CATCH ME SOBBING IN THE BACK
True ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your view on the TTPD variants and that we will get to hear all the songs- that's all I really want hehe. I also had the thought that maybe the two's thing is pointing to an Era's Tour Part 2. You're 100% right about Electric Touch- it's so good and t's been stuck in my head all day hehe. And lastly, I totally agree about the Celine incident so thank you for saying that.
as someone who went to opening night 1 of the eras tour, when she jumped into the stage for the first time the gasp of shock was deafening ! definitely more interesting when you didn't know it was coming
As someone who hasn’t been able to go while I agree opening night would have been so special every show has had unique moments
yeah, i was replying to the person in the video who said the jumping into the stage part was boring.@@natasha8254
She is so amazing that she said she was so close to getting 150k but she got it right after she posted it. This is AMAZING. I always watch your vids for Taylor Swift content, and just too make me feel happy if I'm sad. love your channel!!! ❤❤❤
I love your mature stance on everything. It’s refreshing.
At first I was 100% against the idea of mashup because I thought each song had its own beauty and story. Until I went to her first show in Singapore and was completely blown away by the Mine/Starlight mashup. Doing mashups is actually a great way to show the connections between different eras and give new meanings to each songs. Besides, it really proves that Taylor’s creativity is endless. I never imagined that Sparks Fly and Gold Rush - my two favorite tracks from 2 albums with different vibes - could go so well together. And I’m longing for more.
Omg thank you for the trust him like a brother opinion! As someone who has brothers this always made perfect sense to me and i just never understood why people were making it weird 😄
because it's just obviously a bad idea to say the word "brother" in a romantic song about another man. i know what she means and the meaning isn't creepy but it still just sounds weird in a song and i definitely wouldn't've published that. 😅 I know she could've easily come up with a better lyric that didn't feel gross when you hear it. There's just no way for me to hear that line without cringing. 😂
Omgggg you seem so nice! I feel like i could literally talk taylor swift with you for hours! You were really respectful to the kind of rude opinions❤ You just gained a subscriber!
i am so so blessed that i went into my eras tour show (chicago n2) blind because i feel like i felt like such a surreal experience of not knowing when the rep era or folklore era would be! i also will say i AM SO SO blessed that i heard, saw, and recorded idwlf sad piano version and you all over me w maren morris (honestly think its such an underrated song, i just wish i heard maren more)! THANK U ALLY!! I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH.
I LOVE ELECTRIC TOUCH!!! im with you Ally ps: amazing video omg looove ur content!! 🎉
Girl, you're not alone with "Electric Touch"! My husband and I LOVE this song, especially for road trips💥
just came home from a stressful school day and seeing you posted made this day so much better 💕💕 ily ally!!! 💕
Congratulations Ally! It is such a ton of work, and you are so fun to watch.
i would ABSOLUTELY take castles crumbling over enchanted!! i love them both, but i adore hayley and i think that their voices are so beautiful together and i’d love to see it
Yes I agree with you on that!
as for the lyrics of seven I always heard it both ways and thought it was genius that it could be either way. especially by the way it is sung
I cannot agree more with you!!! I also LOVE Electric Touch is my driving upbeat tune I really love it!!
I love your videos so much!! I think her new album is so book-coded, and I think personally as a book reader, I will love this album so much!!
Unpopular opinion: Lover is super overhated and deserves way more love than it gets. I love Lover so much, that’s the album that made me the Swiftie that I am today, even though I have been a fan since 2012.
Yeah, totally agree. I guess the comparatively underwhelming opener and lead single cause Lover to be somewhat overlooked. However, on sales it is performing quite strong. I mean its in the BB200s Top 10 for almost a year now and currently sits higher than Midnights. Not bad for an almost five year old album i'd say.
Yeah, there's a genuinely great album buried in Lover. I think she was so used to Big Machine having so much say over her output that she didn't know how to handle so much creative freedom. But the best songs on the album are among her most interesting.
Lover is one of my favourites too.
Congrats on 152,000! Very well deserved. I’ve said it before, but each of your videos only confirms it; you are the best at covering Taylor. Holy crap, how did you get to be so wise at such a young age? You’re so respectful of differing opinions, without ever resorting to being condescending to your followers. Big props to you. ❤️
THANK YPU FOR SAYING THAT ABOUT ELECTRIC TOUCH. It is one of my faves and i just get chills EVERY time. especially at the "its 8.05 and i see two headliiiiiigggghhts"
i’m going to the eras tour in may and i’m actually glad that i’ve seen the movie in cinemas first because i’m going to be on the floor and i know that with everyone with their phones up in probably not gonna see even 1/4 of everything there is to appreciate about the show. if i hadn’t seen the movie or tiktoks abt the tour i just KNOW i’d be spending the concert stressed about missing half of it while now, knowing what is happening, i feel like i’ll just be able to enjoy it better!
on the other hand im going to the guts tour in june and for that im avoiding all spoilers for a different experience, but the venue is not a STADIUM which makes it very different
I didn’t care for Electric Touch at first but it has grown on me! I agree with everything you said about it. It’s a nostalgic bop!
My unpopular opinion is that newer swifties especially read way too far into everything that Taylor does. Yes she’s a mastermind but not everything she wears, says, or does is an Easter egg. Let the poor girl wear a cute outfit that doesn’t mean anything 😭😭
Saaaaaame, and none of them know what an actual clue looks like. I'd love to take part in some fun theories, but when your leaps in logic could cross the grand canyon and you never learn anything from it when you're wrong the whole thing gets tedious. A good example is the double album thing. People have been clowning for a double album since Lover, essentially got one after evermore, and they still haven't stopped, not even for re-records. That's nearly five years of not being able to have a single theory convo without a bunch of people screaming about a double album. Enoughhhhhh
@@missmusic4951 FR!
Omg yes the girl can’t any wear any colour with it being “coded” !
@@Tonyakennedy “she’s wearing pink that means she’s recording lover Taylor’s version! She has two rings on so that means it’s a double album!!!!” I’m so done 😭
OMG, yes!!! Love Electric Touch and absolutely feel the Journey vibes!
I LOVE HER FACTORY SETTING HAIR!! ❤❤
ALLY THE HAIR IS GIVING❤❤
congrats on 150k ally!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
thank you so much!!
Oh my God a Sabrina+Olivia collab needs to happen. I can specially imagine a John Tucker × The Other Woman style MV. If you happen to be Sabrina or Olivia, please let me direct it. I know shit about directing but I'll make this happen
