I interpreted the lyrics "Putting someone first only works when you're in their top 5" as saying she put the person first but for them she wasn't even in their top 5 of priorities in life (which is a pretty lenghly list when talking about priorities in the first place, so I think she was exaggerating on purpose). Like saying to us "Look, if you're not even in their top 5 of priorities... it ain't gonna work no matter how much you treat them as your number 1 priority"
Exactly! I don’t know where she got hall pass from
I usually trust want she says but that one had me confused
That's how I understood it as well
Yes. Definitely this. It's more congruent with the rest of the message of the song.
This! I feel like this resonates with a lot more people, but that doesn’t mean that Mere’s interpretation is wrong by any means. If it’s significant to her, I love it for her
Omg you all are right! This makes so much more sense! My mind went to hall pass bc I heard someone talking about theirs but…it was only one hall pass so I don’t get my top 5 theory haha.
If you watch the music video it shows Taylor also giving a double meaning to the the graded on a curve line with how she removes her cloak. The second meaning being that she was putting in all this extra effort into the relationship, but ultimately was just being graded on her body. The way her word combinations so often create these double meanings always fascinate me.
Ahhh how did I miss this?!?
Thank you for pointing this out to me
Wow, new perspective thanks for that
Is it only me or Bejeweled is somewhat related to Tolerate it? She made him a temple, a mural, and a sky and now she's reclaiming all of those. She already took the dagger and removed it and she's now bejeweled.
Yes❤❤❤
To me this song is not necessarily about being cheated on but more about being neglected in a relationship. So she's kinda giving him payback? But you're right, I believe it's a great song to get ready to, too!
Yes to all of this. Definitely about neglect. I have dealt with cheating (recently😢) so my mind just goes there immediately lol !
@@mendwithmere I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you'll get over it soon :)
I also see this song as having a double meaning with her albums being sold from under her. She referred to her songs as jewels in the my tears ricochet when she says "you wear the same jewels that I gave you as you buried me" . The line "I did all the extra credit then got graded on a curve" makes me think she's referring to her past albums. Like she did all this work on her past albums but it didn't matter. Then she says "I can reclaim the land" (I.e. Reclaiming her albums by rerecording them). Just thought it was another interpretation.
That!!
Yes!!
I adore your Taylor reactions...Not missed a single one..and I'm here for all the rest
Thank you!!❤
This song has parallels to her other songs. I'd like to believe this is 'Tolerate It' is she had regained her confidence "I made you my temple, my mural, my sky." Also 'mirrorball'
And I love how this reaction is different from your other ones. Usually the other songs were more sad and depressing (which I love) but this one's happy and uplifting.
Smart reaction. Thanks Mere. Midnights is a visual album, so she'll be posting different new MVs in the weeks to come. Bejeweled is out now. Cheers
Thank you!! I’ll check it out now❤
I also noticed the lyrical parallel of:
All Too Well 10 min: "the idea you had of me, who was she? A never needy, every lovely jewel, whose shine reflects on YOU"
Bejeweled: "Best believe I'm still bejeweled, when I walk in the room, I can still make the WHOLE PLACE shimmer"
She got her light back and no one can take it away from her.
Hell yes!
I hear this song as her break up letter to Joe, because they were in a slow death relationship and she was reclaiming herself even before they were publicly over. Personally, I think they split before the tour started and kept it quiet for a while… but the signs are all there. She was tired of hiding away her sparkle ✨
Miss Swift has definitely been reading all of our journals and it's been making me so emotional
She def has
@@mendwithmerehow do you know that?
I love this song. Helped me remember who I am- I gave you my world, but have you heard, I reclaim the land? Cause I miss you, but I miss sparkling!
Mere, I have been doing a deep dive on your TS reactions and your insights from your professional and educational experience. I can also sense that you too are a long time Swiftie...you need to see the music video for this song. So many Easter Eggs! Thank you, thank you, thank you for these!
Aww thank you! Yes, I have loved her for a long time and I finally saw the video, it was amazing
I think this about her business relationship and how Scooter Braun stole her music
I definitely think so too. I love how many different ways to take it❤
I really enjoyed watching your reaction! I hope you can do The great war next☺️
On the list ❤ thank you!
Oh no Mere! That's not the video. There's a legit music video with her and some cameo surprises. But this song is a total jam. Now every time I walk into a room, this song comes on in my head 🤣
I think she did the lyrics video on purpose to focus on the lyrics first
Yes, just wanted to do lyrics but loved the video!
You should react to her song, "Death by a thousand cuts" next!
It’s def on the list! You’re on your own, kid, paper doll…critique?, and mad woman are on deck next!
@@mendwithmere please do "you're on your own, kid"!
@@mendwithmere You should definitely react to Bigger than the Whole Sky, TS was definitely dealing with something when she wrote that one.
Hey! Just wanna tell you that your reviews made me sob all morning… Taylor sometimes make me feel understood and that’s why I love her, and you did that too!
Hi!! I’m JUST now seeing your comment and this is why I made this channel. Yes to the tears and releasing all those pint up emotions that need to come out. We are lucky to have such a great lyricist in our lifetime. Thank you for the ❤ and I’m sending ❤ right back at you!
The proper video is so good xxxx
I'm a new subscriber! I'm digging to your videos! It's great! Keep going
Thank you!!
I think the "top five" references Myspace!! She used to connect to her fans that way. Could be wrong, but that is a fun interpretation of it! We all remember (millennials I'm talking to you) MySpace and the stress of having to pick the top 5 friends, and then top 8, that would appear on the MySpace profile. 🙂
You should look up the song Lover Dearest by Marianas Trench, it's about addiction and started as a letter the lead singer wrote in rehab!
Oooo I will!
omg I love this so much!!!
please react to august and mirrorball too ❤️
Omg I love august! It’s coming!
By the tone of this song I understood that the main person she’s talking about is Scott Borchetta, not an ex boyfriend (of course she might have mixed inspiration from more than one relationship, specially because of the “reclaim the land” thing, that just makes me think about she re-recording her masters to own them again
I love your reactions to Taylor's songs! I always saw references in this song to her relationship with Calvin Harris, she got him Kenye brand sneakers for his birthday, She wrote the song he recorded with Rihanna, apparently he didn't want the song linked to her name so she used it a pseudonym, in publicity interviews he was asked if he thought about creating something with Taylor, his then girlfriend, and he said that he had no intention of working with her on any music, that's when she took over the authorship and that the vocals in the chorus were the her voice, I figured that's where the top 5 comes from and the rest. A while later they broke up and he released a song about "her being the only thing standing in her way" basically blaming her for his shitty behavior.
You should check out You’re On Your Own, Kid, Midnight Rain, Question…?, and Karma.
Just finished You’re on your own, kid!❤
I interpreted top 5 as a MySpace reference
OMG!!!!! Yes! That’s so smart
react to illicit affairs, seven, dear reader! :) love ur reactions
Added!
I like what she's saying about Taylor's song, but she killed the mood when keeps adding stuff about her life.
I'd love to see your interpretation of Bigger Than The Whole Sky. OR if you wanna branch out from just Taylor you could do The 30th by Billie Eilish
I have it in the list now!
Suggestion! If you could make the lyrics bigger so we can follow along with you easier. Love these!! Thank you
We’ve been struggling with how to use her videos and make the lyrics bigger. Still haven’t mastered it but trying ❤
React taylor swift 13 moments that are hard to watch or taylor swift saddest interviews
Will do!
@@mendwithmere hope so!❤
Please react to "Ronan" by Taylor Swift
I filmed it and I balled with snot. Afraid to post…
@@mendwithmere I know it's heart wrenching it's such a beautiful way to memorialize someone. Especially a little boy that touched so many hearts by simply being kind and happy despite his illness. It's written from his mom's perspective which makes it so unique.
Can you do a review on Cowboy like me by Taylor Swift please!!! I'm watching your videos for 2 hours now omg!! Cried with Happinesss and hoax. ❤❤
Ahhh such good songs! Yes, I love cowboy like me!
hi, thank you for your videos os suicidal thoughts.
thank you for having these conversations, i can't speak with no one outside the virtual. they blame me because i'm putting myself on this situation or because I'm not praying enough - true or not, it doesn't help much.
No it doesn’t help at all. It’s so important to talk about these thoughts and have support. If the internet is your safe space, use it. Go to people that actually understand you. It isn’t fair that you don’t have support in the way you should but please know that you are not alone and it’s best to be talked about and put into the light! Sending you ❤
We also need music video reactions, so we can hear your expertise in terms of symbols, cues etc.
Ooo yes, I’ll do it!
Please please look into Question? 🙏🏼❤
About to film but still uncertain about it. What do you think it’s about?
please react to the archer
Ooo I did! I’ll post soon
I have a few songs I’d love for you to react to here are a couple anyone by Demi lovato
Dancing with the devil by Demi lovato
and pieces of me by Ashlee Simpson
Done! Added to the list!
For me this song is about fake friends
Every video ive watched so far of you breaking these songs down, you mention they sound like cheating.. not every song can be about a cheater....
You are absolutely right. I recognize my view was a little skewed but that’s because I was cheated on around the time I filmed them. My vision is getting clearer so bare with me. ❤
Good girls do get screwed over :(
Yes they do…
