In this Video Editor Reacts, I do another Taylor Swift reaction! This time I react to Taylor Swift - Willow. This was an awesome conclusion to the Cardigan, Willow series! Taylor Swift has yet to disappoint!
Original Video - • Taylor Swift - willow ... - Розваги
The string is meant to represent the “thread of gold” that ties her to her soulmate / partner. It’s based on a song from the album called Invisible String, with the symbology being that throughout life they were connected and meant to end up together, but had some darkness and false threads (another relationships) first before they found each other. I think the music box that she gets trapped in is meant to be that the industry traps her and prevents her from being with her partner / running away with him (hence why they only touch through the glass there, but finally get to touch hands in the end)
I just came to say the same thing ☺️
Love this interpretation....but in my opinion the string in cardigan is not false or a "trap"...I believe in "Cardigan" she depicts that her music/her art is her first love and her forever soulmate that has helped her through darkest times. The second story in "Willow" is a continuation of Taylor's life but a depiction of another kind of love she feels for her human soulmate.
Cardigan is from Folklore, Willow is from Evermore they are sister albums
Which also explains why willow is a continuation of Cardigan
I really love how you're connecting dots and finding easter eggs and also paying attention to the actual meaning behind stuff.
The cinematographer is actually a really big name. He’s worked with Taylor on 4 music videos including her recent Fortnight. But he also worked on movies like Killers of the Flower Moon and Barbie his two most recent.
Willow, represents multiple things; there is a Celtic dance called stripping the willow, and willow trees are inspiring and symbolic of humans' capability to withstand hardship, loss, and difficult emotions. Its long life and the ease with which new trees can be rooted from cuttings, the willow tree is also seen as a survivor and a symbol of rebirth.
Also, the dance they do in the Eras tour is the Stripping the Willow dance :)
All I know about the guy who plays the love interest is that he was a backup dancer on one of her tours when she was younger? Also the instrument she's playing in the box is a lute! :D
Red tour dancer
Ah, I thought it was a mandolin
To me it’s that the string leads her to him like an unspoken fate, no matter where they go it always leads her to him. So in the cabinet where I believe she’s playing the lute, she can see him but she can’t get to him, until the string guides her. I think it’s symbolic of the way no matter where life takes her it will lead her to him and to her music.
Look at you being a swiftie of rank finding Easter eggs and making connections. 👏👏👏 good job! 🫶-Taylor heart hands!
The guy is Taeok Lee. He and Taylor go back to 2013 when he was a dancer on her Red tour. According to the Wiki page the orbs came about because of the California wild fires, it was supposed to be a bonfire, she came up with an alternative. It works well for the Eras Tour too.
I love that everyone has a meaning for this video when I thought we were all confused about it. Other than the obvious connection to the song Invisible String. Watching it now it takes me to the song on her new album called The Prophecy. She sings about once having faith (in a more religious sense) and is now consulting covens. She just wants someone to be her soulmate and she is begging fate to step in and change the path of her romantic life.
"uuu things are connecting!" hahaha :')
There were a lot of symbolic references in this video harkening to lyrics from Folklore (Invisible String- single thread of gold led me to you), the kids in the tent (the song Seven about her and friend at 7 yrs of age), etc.
I like how it's not just a commentary on the editing, you also comment on the storytelling through video and editing. It adds a lot beyond the basic "how was this done" (which is also really interesting), and it's fun to see what you can add from your experience!
They couldn't have filmed it at the same time, because cardigan came out on folklore in July and willow came out December on evermore...unless Taylor already had something in mind of course, but I think that once I was comapring the two shots side by side, the lighting was a bit different and actually the candles in willow were a bit bigger than the ones in cardigan (which just doesn't make sense) and the hair is also different. The actor is one of Taylor's dancers from her Red tour (2013-2014), she brought him back for this. I was just watching Peter Pan for the first time and when Tinkerbell was imprisoned in that lamp or whatever, it really reminded me of this, Taylor trying to get out of the cage, it looked really similar to this, the movement, the cage... and since there are Peter Pan mentions in cardigan and now even TTPD, I wouldn't take it for granted, the Peter Pan lore seems to be deeper than we previously thought.
There's also the fact that she was wet from the ocean at the end of Cardigan, but she's completely dry at the beginning of Willow.
@@ruffboiALT yeah, I mean, they made her hair a bit wet, but otherwise yup
evermore came out 5 months after folklore they could easily done it, just not on the same day.
@@Violet316 I mean yeah, but Aaron said in some interview that when she wrote willow she was like "I guess we're making another album" which doesn't exactly mean that it was after folklore came out, but I think that she was already done with folklore and she already filmed the video
@@adabadoskova2915 They’ve all confirmed that evermore happened during the Long Pond Sessions, so yeah. This video is just really carefully recreated - and she works with so many of the same people, it probably wasn’t quite as hard as it would be for you or I to do. 😉
Yes please do allll the behind the scenes. Even if they are only 3 min!!!!!!!!!!
I love the music video so much. The lighting in Willow gives such a warm, cozy feeling. I believe that the gold refers to invisible string, a song on folklore. She also refers to her love being golden in a song called Daylight which is on Lover and the gold is I believe often connected to Joe.
You should see the Eras Tour perfoof Willow. She took the witchy vibe live action with glowing orbs and cloaks.
She is playing a mandolin!
Nice reaction. -I'm waiting for you to do a "Fortnight" reaction. There's a lot to unpack in that one, I'm sure it's already on your radar.- EDIT Cos you've done it, and I forgot !!
He’s already done it x
@@Emmnem97 You're right and I've already watched it and liked it too. Getting too old and losing my marbles !!!
as a swiftie who is also a directioner, I`m very glad about your Taylor reactions and looking forward to seeing more One Direction ones 😊
10:39 I think you mean 'I did something bad' but you're absolutely right. Taylor uses images of witches and snakes in other songs/videos (e.g. recently in cassandra). And a circus in her works has represented the toxic entertainment industry - mirrorball, willow music video here, and now recently who's afraid of little old me. There's probably more. I've never noticed the image of a snake in the background in this video tho, wow
I believe he’s referring to the end of the Ready For It video where at the end “they’re burning all the witches” is written on the wall.
@@Alannameyers Might be. There is a lot of those which is wow
Pretty sure Mean has some of that circus/media allegory, too.
Love it!!! ❤❤❤ Now I just NEED to see the reaction for I bet you think about me please 🥺
The light or string is the "Invisible String". I guess you had better listen to that song now.
2:20 that’s invisible string she have a song called that which meant to be the line that connect two ppl
Love this, also love the Miss Minutes shirt. 😂
Great reaction as always! Would love to see you react to I Bet You Think About Me! One of my absolute favorites!
Amazing reaction 👍
please do a “You Need To Calm Down” video reaction!!! I love your videos ❤❤❤
LIGHT SHOWER MV BY MELANIE MARTINEZ IS OUT ALREADY HELP ITS TOO EARLY❤❤❤
I love that little unicorn on top of your skateboards lol ❤ great video as per usual
You’re the first person to point it out! Lol- thank you!
Sooo I knows it’s been said before- but she has directed or codirected every video since about 2019 during the lover era
You gotta go listen to invisible string… you’ll see the parallels between the things that she puts in this video and that song
Love this music video! ❤
You need to do the new falling in reverse song. The Video is crazy amazing
I reckon Ms. Minutes on your shirt. 😍😂
This was filmed during covid. So the pandemic has had a lot of different impacts on every part of this production
You just need to listen to Invisible String. I think you caught the majority of the story otherwise ❤ love the reaction and all the technical details you cover
And Seven. I didn't realize until this reaction that she is referencing that song as well, with the childhood friends playing pretend in their tent.
Very good, my favorites are Willow and Cardigan
not the tva shiiirt😂😂
You should watch the tour performance of this one it's even more witchy
I saw it as while she went to a different world in search of him, he was searching for her which is why she finds him after she comes back because he was there waiting for her! Both of them used the string to find each other.
Wait.... they are in a circus.... ummmm. I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean
"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
Who's afraid of little old me?
PLAY LIGHT SHOWER BY MELANIE MARTINEZ!!!❤❤
Willow is one of my favorite songs from the evermore album. Loved your reaction to it! It's such a beautiful music video.
I don't know if you have time for recommendations, but as always I'd love to see more Blackpink related content. Despite me constantly asking for Blackpink, I'm actually not a huge K-Pop fan. Blackpink and (G)I-DLE are the only groups in the genre that I listen to. In that sense, I hope you'll maybe consider checking (G)I-DLE out in the future too. I love them and their videos. I feel like (G)I-DLE is always breaking boundaries in K-Pop and that's what I like about them. Good videos from them: Tomboy, Nxde, Revenge, Super Lady (newest single), Oh my god, I want that, I do, Allergy, Queencard (Allergy and Queencard videos are connected through story line. Should be watched together). Yuqi, one of the members, actually also released her solo album last month. The title track is called Freak. Also a really fun music video.
In short: Please react to more Blackpink, (G)I-dle, One Direction, Taylor Swift videos
The song invisible string also ...not on new album
Seeing that you liked the song, you really have to check out the live performance on the Eras tour, even just for yourself - it’s literally genius, impressive and completely captivating (also, spoiler alert: very witchy lol)
Light shower music video came out from melanie martinez
Great video! I would like to suggest reacting to Harry Styles' 'Watermelon Sugar' and 'Lights Up' music videos. They are the only ones you haven't done by him. Harry also has a video called 'Love On Tour, Forever' which I think you would really enjoy as well!
Listen to invisible string and it will make sense.
1:07 they couldn’t cardigan and willow from two different albums
You should react to AVIVA, her music videos are very strange, but with a very interesting story on them, also the stories of the videos conect
thank you for reactions,maybe you want see this music video "alyona alyona & Jerry Heil - Teresa & Maria "
I first saw Taylor on a stage in a parking lot between a radio station and Target. There were maybe two dozen people milling around. Most people were there for the BBQ and funnel cakes.
I thought she had something special even then.
I thought about they’re burning all the witches when you pointed out the fire in the painting. I never noticed the snake until you pointed it out.
The fire looks like orbs are rising from it.
There burning the witches even if you aren’t one.
Hey just a proposition you can react to Melanie Martinez light shower or death mv light shower mv just came out and death is the first of the album
funny that none of these incredible videos didn't get grammy nominations
React to falling in reverse "ronald"
I also like this more than Cardigan
It’s a mandolin.
If you can you have to check out animal farm by BIBI it is a masterpiece. I literally thought it was a movie you will love it
Do YNTCD!
Hello! Great to see a reactor who knows the craft and know what they're talking about.
May I request you for a reaction to 'COME BACK TO ME', the latest single by Rapper, Singer, songwriter RM.
The music video itself is a whole Cinematic treat to watch! Directed by Emmy awardee director-writer Lee Sung Jin of Netflix show 'Beef' fame, and starring some of the A list actors from S Korea.
The song is already broke records within 24 hrs of release debuting at #1 on worlwide itunes chart as well as #1 on Trending videos on UA-cam. As well as gathering critical acclaim too.
I'd really appreciate if you would react to the song. His new album Right Place Wrong Person, is releasing on May 24th.
And yes, Wish you all the very best for your channel :) ❤
Oooh you should try to react to some of Lana del rey's music videos!
most of them are very unique and i know she directed/edited many of them, especially her earlier ones that she did all by herself with nothing but a laptop!!
if you want my favorite is the Doin' Time music video:) (she didn't do this one by herself but it's really good imo)
I prefer willow over cardigan as well 😊
Loving this evolution of you getting good at hunting eastern eggs 🤍
Folklore and Evermore are tales, not autobiography.
This was done during the pandemic, more than likely why they used the masks.
Pretty sure Taylor said that this album are made up stories, so not about her, which I find incredible
Yep. Although recently she’s been admitting they might be more autobiographical than she intended. I think she was sad for a long time.
💕🫶
can you react to blackpink - hylt? thanks so much!!!!!!!! 💖💖
You should reach to Megan Thee Stallion’s BOA
when will you react one direction
Coming up within a week or so!!
@@Videoeditorreacts PLEASE do more Louis!
can you react to light shower mv by melanie martinez
I like willow more too….
JOSH!!!! STOP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING NOW AND REACT TO THE NEW FALLING IN REVERSE SONG "Ronald" THE MUSIC VIDEO IS DOUBLE THE CRAZINESS OF WATCH THE WORLD BURN!!!
I think they didn’t show her climbing in because we got it already… too repetitive.
This song is about Tony and I. We met when I was 5, than again at 16, than again at like 32. The new album has a song Peter that is a parallel to this song. The song Cassandra is about my biological mother and lyrics say they filled my cell with snakes
