      I believe this track has to be about John and about Jake... Like a butterfly effect... one experience brought her another mistake. And the part she asks for her innocence it makes me think of the scarf. It has Dear John and All Too Well Vibes... Being with him at 19 made her fall into Jake's arms... the dance with the devil... at her 20s.

    One of the most powerful, emotional, and heart-wrenching songs I've ever heard. I pray that writing and recording this has given Taylor at least a small amount of release and peace.

You’re right that this song can probably apply to all types of grief - losing a friend, relationship, etc. - but listening to it with that lens just fits so well, especially since she says “I’m never gonna meet, what could have been, would’ve been what should’ve been you”

    I’ve seen a lot about people relating Bigger Than The Whole Sky to loss/miscarriage and whilst I think it definitely fits those themes and Taylor’s phenomenal writing makes it relatable in the context of so many situations, I can’t stop thinking that she’s written it singing to the version of herself that never dated John.
    Especially after hearing Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve, the lyrics “I miss who I used to be” and “Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first” (🤯). To me it makes the lyrics “I'm never gonna meet what could've been, would've been, what should've been you” fit so perfectly from the perspective of her singing to this unknown version of herself!

    I just came back to watch your video again because your reaction to Would've Could've Should've is so close to mine and it has easily become my number 1 Taylor Swift song (who would have thought ATWTMV could ever have gotten de-throned?). Not only is it one of Taylor's traumatic experiences, but as you said about the 'memories feel like weapons', even though I am lucky that I have never gotten into a relationship like that, I have struggled with disordered eating in the past and struggle with it until this very moment. So the fact that that happened exactly at 19 just gave this song a whole double meaning for me and how I cannot listen to this song without balling my eyes out. Wow, I never share this with anyone who I know but your channel feels like SUCH a comfortable place that I felt like sharing and getting it off my chest, so I hope you do not mind, because it is also the biggest compliment I can give someone because you and your channel are one of the biggest safe spaces in my life. Thank you, Ally, for sharing this reacting with us. I really needed someone to cry with. 💛

    I LOVE how she sings “midnights” in Paris just like in New Year’s Day (my literally fav moment from the whole album)

    That girlhood line grabs every woman’s heart because we, the females, understand how fragile it is, and how hard it is to keep safe because too often it is stolen from us before we are ready to give it up. I am not necessarily just talking seggs/purity but the whole objectification thing of it. We read/see and even sadly experience it all the time; a child matures physically and suddenly there are predators everywhere - long before you have even had the time to process the changes inside yourself. Taylor is singing of her personal experience but every woman I know understands this on a visceral level.

    I love all the different interpretations of Bigger than the Whole Sky, it’s really exemplary of her writing skills that she’s able to capture something that so many people have experienced. I personally think it’s her mourning her past self before her relationship with John Mayer - based on the religious language used in both and the inclusion of “would’ve could’ve should’ve” at the beginning of Bigger than the Whole Sky. Mourning the person you could’ve been had trauma not happened to you… it’s a heartbreaking experience.

    Daddy Aaron is all over my deepest core delights and sorrows with his writing and collaboration. He is, for me, the source of taking Taylor forward to her adult "Speak Now/Red" depths. Their work together is my nook that I crawl into and recharge when I need to affirm what I know, what I want to learn, and how it shapes me. 3AM edition and Til Dawn, now we believe, leads into Tortured Poets, and I am on the edge of my swing above the trees screaming ferociously.

      Totally agree. He leads her into stretching her talents beyond their previous limits. Prime example is Tolerate It. Aaron wrote it in 10/8 time. That is not easy to write or sing over. And yet she nails it and does it almost casually. She really is a savant.

    I'm so glad we got a reaction from you and so thankful that Taylor blessed us with these 3am tracks as I cannot imagine life without WCS as a Speak Now stan. I truly think it is the best song she's ever done. It's one thing to pour her heart out about a relationship while the wound is still fresh, but for her to reflect on that one thirteen years later and to write about it the way she did....I get full body chills every single time I listen to it, which has been nearly 20 times a day. Every single line is so powerful and devastating.

"Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first"? the most heart breaking line I've heard from her.
    It's the way she mourns her innocence that was stolen and how he got away with doing it without barely suffering the consequences.
    It's sad that so many us can relate to this song one way or another.
    Can't believe I watched a few reactions of people just complementing her vocals when she sang that fucking line.

    I love watching your reactions to Taylor's new music because you're such a genuine and true fan and it makes me happy to watch people who truly enjoy her music, enjoy it. I wish the reaction consisted more of you actually listening to the songs though cause I feel like pausing after every line to comment into such depth kinda takes the emotion out of it a little bit. I mean absolutely NO hate by this, I'm sure you prefer to do your reactions this way, I just had to express this cause I was excited to watch this reaction and see you actually listen to the full song (similar as you did with the karma remix, snow on the beach with more Lana and you're losing me, where you just listen to the songs start to finish and react along the way and the comments are made at the end, i.e. without interruptions.) Nonetheless, I enjoy all your videos and think you're the sweetest 💖I hope you take this as constructive, if you even stumble across this comment, and not anything negative! Xx

Also, wishing that you could go back to a point of innocence and take back the time you lost during all the suffering.
