The song is an ironic take on how the media portayed her to be. She read all the stuff and thought "Oh, this character is great, I need to write a song from that girls perspective".
Please, please do the Grammy museum performance of this song! She talks about the meaning of the song first and then sings it with just one instrument, it's excellent!!!
totally agree! :] it's worth watching that video.. even in your own time to get the brief history of the concept of this song and how it's portraying the medias idea of what her life is like, especially when it comes to dating / relationships. pure brilliance on taylors part (not surprising).
Taylor played this song on one instrument at a Grammy Museum performance . She explained the meaning behind the song about creating the "character " she had been painted to be by the media. Super cool performance....i think you would really like it after seeing this video.
This is absolutely tongue & cheek. She took the media narrative of her being a crazy man eater who only dates for sport to use in her songs. She has a blank space to write them into her lyrics - notice her pen “clicks”.
Yes, she has stayed friends with her best friend from 15 years old, Abigail. I believe you saw her at the dinner table on Miss Americana. She wrote “15” just for Abigail to hear, but Abigail said that other girls could get some help or insight from her experience. Taylor is friends with SO MANY people because she’s so genuine and kind.
The man, Sean O’Pry, is a worldwide model. He was so good looking that he didn’t even have to audition for the part. Taylor did the lip biting part during the beginning of filming to make sure that they could show chemistry and it made him have feelings for her and he had a hard time looking at her in the eye after that. LOL. She’s definitely beautiful. To get paid to be kissed by Taylor? Oh what a job for a single man. 😂❤️
She performed this acoustically at the grammy museum back around the time this album came out and she talks about why she wrote this song. You should definitely check that out!
As others have said, this song is a satirical take on the media’s portrayal of Taylor’s love life. I think it’s a visually interesting video….mansion, white horses, cool car. It’s got it all! Her videos are always fire!
Taylor is one rare musician, Writer, Director,, lyrics are amazing, She really is the best in the industry, She's the whole package, She was in school for a while, Than she was home schooled because of bullying for her, It was for the love of the arts, Taylor, Pushes through it all.❤ Love her.
that sort of blurs everything together. Swift attended a private Christian elementary school, a public middle school in PA, another public middle school in Tennessee, and 2 years of High School. She didn't homeschool because of bullying (which was in PA, mostly). She met her long term bestie Abigail on the first day of the ninth grade; High School was not the same as middle school for her. She homeschooled because she started a 6 month radio tour in 2006, followed by work as an opener for several artists; then work on a second album.
Tongue in cheek definitely and the metaphors are brilliant. The two white horses when it’s normally just the guy on a white horse. This is a perfect response to all the criticism she took for just dating like any other young woman. It’s genius really. Thanks for this and I hope you have a nice holiday 😊
Background video ---- Taylor had an advertising relationship with AT&T, one of the phone companies here (it also owned DirecTV, a satellite dish/cable company). The Taylor Swift Experience was a phone app that was up for a year or so back in 2015, then taken down. They also sponsored the series Taylor Swift NOW, which had a lot of behind the scenes video of all her music videos. AT&T also built a Houston arena in 2016 for a concert venue; Taylor did her 2017 Super Saturday Night show there (night before the Super Bowl). For Reputation, AT&T sponsored a whole series of "Making of a Song." Working in studio, Max Martin & Johan Shellback, and Jack Antonoff. a 45 minute compilation was posted of almost all of them by a channel called love, swifties. The individual segments are also available. AT&T also hosted a "secret session" invitational fan event in Chicago, with a surprise solo set with Taylor. For AT&T, it was a way to get content for their cell phone network and build subscribers. For the rest of us, a look into how she works. For Taylor, it was selling Reputation without doing any interviews or talk shows.
Taylor has friends from high school that are in her life today even though she was often really bullied in high school and never felt part of the popular crowd as she was often left out by peers. This song is her way of of spinning the crazy way on how the media portrays her as a crazy love stared women who gets guys and then throws them away! She really just wants to find that special someone but hasn’t been lucky in the love department and I imagine being how big she is it’s hard to tell if people around you are there for the right reasons! I think her early relationships really affected her choice in guys over the years but I think her latest relationship Travis is a real family guy which is what I think she needs/wants! Great reaction as always Izzy❤
Taylor normally writes all her songs on one instrument, a piano or guitar. All the production obviously is added in the studio. So she can strip any song down to one instrument & play it acoustically because that’s how she wrote the songs initially.
You should watch her grammy museum performance of this song. She explained why she wrote this song. She took everything media made up about her and put it on a song. She is great!!
and yes, she does have at least one friend from high school named Abigail. Taylor was a bridesmaid at her wedding. She's, as far as I know, just a normal person living her life. But on Taylor's birthday she rubs elbows with celebs because taylor wants her there with them.
I cant recommend highly enough that you watch the Grammy Museum talk and performances, where she talks about some songs from 1989 and performs them live, just her and a guitar or piano. Its amazing
The media portrayed her as this serial-dater/Man eater and she went and made this video. Its a fun time. The bass/Synth/acoustic guitar you hear is definitely a Jack Antonoff specialty, He produces for her (this was his first album working with her) and also produces for Sabrina Carpenter. Great reaction as always Izzy, and the blue hat is still my favorite!!!!
This song is so good and so clever. She addresses the serial dater narrative (aka dating like a normal 20 something) she got in the media in various ways on this album but this embodying of the tabloid version of herself is my favorite. My other favorite is Slut!
It’s been so fun watching your evolution of feelings and appreciation for Taylor. Her catalog is so expansive that there is something in it that will catch your attention. The woman can write!!! ❤🎉
I see "I can read you like a magazine" as a twist on "I can read you like a book." You are shallow, or my valuation of you is you are shallow, more of a magazine than a full book.
Tongue in cheek definitely. It’s a response to all the criticism about dating just like any other young woman. Many metaphors like the two white horses when it’s always just the guy on the white horse. It’s brilliant. Thank you for reacting to this and I hope you have a lovely holiday if you celebrate. It’s an American holiday though innit? 😊
The song was a take on how the media portrated her to be. She read all what the media was saying about her and thought that would make a great character in her song.
What’s weird is that she really hasn’t dated that many men. I don’t count teenage crushes & boyfriends. I only count adult relationships & at age 35 I think she gets an unfair narrative, I don’t think she’s dated that many.
It's all tongue in cheek, as she's portraying herself the way the media judged her to be. Not how she actually is! If you watch the video its so over the top, its obvious. And, a genius way to make that clear. 😂😂
Throwing my recommendations in for the next song! She speaks a lot about philosophies of love on her Red album. I’d recommend State of Grace or Treacherous :)
The car was one of Taylor's; the golf club was just the handle, all the damage was CGI. You need to watch two other versions of the song: her solo acoustic at the Grammy Museum (she intros the song first), and then the 1989 World Tour version that was recorded in Sydney --- she uses the golf club to good effect there. And a bit differently on the Eras tour, but the golf club is part of the imagery for the song by now. For more of her thinking and writing, and production, there is a 40 minute presentation she gave to producers and sound engineers --- look up her name with Grammy Pro. She runs briefly through the country albums, and how 1989 differed in how they wrote and put it together. Embarrassing voice memos included. At the end the poster tacked on 4 of her live solos that she did that night: Blank Space, How You Get The Girl, Wildest Dreams, and Out of the Woods. run time for all of it is @ an hour. instruments: Gibson Songwriter, Gibson concert?, Fender Jaguar, and piano.
Izzy, this whole album 1989 is a pop masterpiece. Ryan Adams covered the whole thing and put out his version of 1989. His version is more alternative rock . I’d love to see you do a comparison reaction either here or on Patreon.
So if you watch the Grammy museum perfomance of this song, (acustic on her guitarr) she explains the reason she wrote this song. It is satire, written from the perspective of the fake persona the media had tried to push her as being, when in reality she is the opposite. So she decided to write from that narrative´s perspective.
This is such a great song. One thing I always enjoy about her (short movies) video's are her facial expressions and this video is full of them. Thanks for the reaction. I enjoyed it.❤ Stay safe
Blank Space is from the 1989 album, which is also regarded as “the pop bible”. It’s critically acclaimed, and also the most awarded pop album of all time. It’s monumental, and influential because this album brought back the 80s synth sounds in mainstream music.
“Love is where all your attempts to escape cease.” Woah Izzy! That was a great quote! Btw the Grammy Museum performance of Blank Space is very cool. She explains the inspiration for this track and is a great rendition of it. I’d love a follow up reaction to this film clip of that one 😊
Song suggestions: 1 No body, no crime (evermore): Taylor's incredible ability to take you into a story. 2 dead for a thousand cuts - in the “tiny desk concert” version (lover) 3 would've could've should've (midnights): about her relationship with John Mayer, who was 32 and she was only 19. 4 Cassandra (TTPD): Use of Greek mythology (Cassandra) showing that people don't believe her words and attack her because of that, going beyond all limits, destroying her... but when the truth comes out, no one cares. Because everyone just likes to attack. (She's talking about her problem with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the audio tape recorded (lie/edited) and everyone attacked Taylor) 5 you're losing me (midnights - from the vault): coming to the end of the relationship with Joe 6 Carolina: Music made for the film “Where the Crawdads Sing”.
🇨🇦 here! Love your TS reactions!!! Can’t wait for more! Hearing this performed live at Wembley in August was absolutely insane…the entire show was electric…but I think the stadium was shaking during her 1989 set lol!
This song is Taylor satirising herself and writing what the press made her out to be a desperate emotional, crazy woman who could not keep a man. When in reality she was dating like any normal woman in her 20s. Taylor has always taken what the haters through at her, put it on like amour and scream it right back at them, from songs to full eras and running themes. She isn't scared to embrace it to make them look stupid
Taylor's best friend is a regular lady she has been besties with since high school. She does have a group of friends she hangs with known as the squad. They are famous women but, not divas. They range from singers to actresses to models. Many she's been friends with for years. Taylor has had a history of unhappy relationships. Some have used her for fame and money and some have cheated on her. She had a boyfriend for about 6 years and broke up in spring of 2023. This was a case of they loved each other but, were so different in wants and needs and personalities. It just did not work out in the end. In the summer of 23 she performed her Eras tour in Kansas City, Missouri at the Football stadium, Arrowhead. One of the stars of the team, Chiefs, had a long time celebrity crush on her and he thought he'd try to meet her. The story is kind of long and funny. You can read about it on google or watch some UA-cam videos. Anyway, in the end Travis Kelce did hook up with Taylor and they have been together for almost a year and half. He's been good for Taylor. She has insecurities and axieties. Travis is a laid back, funny, fun loving guy and he has brought her out of her shell.
I think this is Travis’ fav song and lyric “I can make the bad guys good for a weekend” if I’m not mistaken. Look towards catching up on your videos. Happy Thanksgiving from Georgia,USA 🦃🤎
She had the idea of writing this song from how the media was portraying her as a “man eater” type, and over focusing on her love life. It is basically a parody of the media BS. Have you done “The Man” video? It’s amazing and she also directed it.
From what I have read yes Taylor went to a conventional school, but she suffered a lot of bullying as per her mother on some interview I watched , so bullying is not new to Taylor, today she can let that all out and show those bullies how far she can go! She is just phenomenal, but yet still hate many haters, she did nothing to them I guess jealousy comes in all packages and it’s about them not Taylor!
lmao i didn’t go on youtube for a couple of days and when i came here your video literally showed up saying its only been uploaded 1 hour ago. perfect timing for serotonin boost 😂😂😂😂😂 anyway, taylor single-handedly changed all the girlies social media bio and caption into : “darling i’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.” in 2014. even those who didn’t listen to taylor knew that line. GLOBAL & CULTURAL IMPACT 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ reactors to blank space usually continue to wildest dream. that one is such a dreamy pretty song, izzy! she uses her own heartbeat for that song.
she was famous by highscool age, so no, she wasnt popular in school. This is a parody of the press saying she just dated everyone and disposed of them so no need to get too deep. This director is great.
I sometimes think about how absolutely terrifying it must be for Taylor to like really get close to new people (I was gonna say "for people with Taylor's level of fame, but I think she is a standalone right now). I'm no expert, but I would imagine that there is a lot of money in selling info and pictures from her private life. How do you trust anyone new when that trust can be so easily capitalized? I guess childhood friends are options, and maybe other people who are very famous. Those thoughts are what really breaks me when i listen to the bridge in The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Like having your worst fears and paranoia confirmed.
Blank Space is such a fun video! I saw Taylor in an interview and she said it was tongue in cheek because everyone at the time thought she was dating too many guys. She then said if she was a man they wouldn’t think that way. lol. Another great video you should watch is “Are We Out Of The Woods Yet” Thanks Izzy for your insightful reviews, I really enjoy hearing what you think. 😊
This song was generated by the way the pooerozy, So she thought that is crazy, So this is a diss on the pop's. If that is how they were making it out to see her as a serial dater who gets men then break's up with them for the sake of a song or album, That's not her at all, She is now happy with Travis kelse, American football 🏈 ⭐ player, His position is tight end. For Kansas City Chiefs..
I fear you are taking this song way too seriously. She is making fun of the media conception of her and her lifestyle. Taylor Swift has a wicked sense of humor.
I don't think 'I can make the bad guys good for a weekend' is about trying to change them it's saying they are good enough for a weekend and then good bye!
Listen I have wished all my life for Simon LeBon to pick me out of a magazine! Yes she is still best friends with her high school friend! She is actually in one of her earlier music videos! Also would love to see your reaction to Happiness, The Archer
Haha! There's still time, Debbie! I absolutely loved the Archer! Heard it when I reacted to City Of Lover which is available on Patreon. I'll cut it down for UA-cam when I have the time.
Saw an interview where she said "Nightmare dressed like a daydream " was her favorite line of any of her songs....years ago so that may have changed. Here it is ua-cam.com/users/shortswAYu4ryC7mc
I see you have gotten the background on the song. If you are interested in hearing Taylor explain the inspiration, in her own words, I will leave the link. She performed live at the Grammy museum. It is in the top 3 live vocal performance in my opinion, so worth checking out on your own, even if you don't react to it. ua-cam.com/video/p1Zt47V3pPw/v-deo.html
I listened to 1989 when she first released it, but never truly appreciated it until she re-recorded and released it. It’s become one of my favorite albums of hers.
Izzy: Please do Teddy Swims Lose Control. It is such a great song and was #1 in the spring. ua-cam.com/video/GZ3zL7kT6_c/v-deo.htmlsi=JSRm4FzKDBqad-r8 You will NOT regret reacting to this gem. And it is a gem.
This is one of the reasons I admire her. She took what everyone was making fun of her for, and turned it into one of her biggest songs.
The song is an ironic take on how the media portayed her to be. She read all the stuff and thought "Oh, this character is great, I need to write a song from that girls perspective".
Please, please do the Grammy museum performance of this song! She talks about the meaning of the song first and then sings it with just one instrument, it's excellent!!!
totally agree! :] it's worth watching that video.. even in your own time to get the brief history of the concept of this song and how it's portraying the medias idea of what her life is like, especially when it comes to dating / relationships. pure brilliance on taylors part (not surprising).
Agreed! I commented with the link for him to react to! I would love to see him react to that!
Yes!
I'll check it out and maybe that whole performance.
Taylor played this song on one instrument at a Grammy Museum performance . She explained the meaning behind the song about creating the "character " she had been painted to be by the media. Super cool performance....i think you would really like it after seeing this video.
I'm looking forward to checking that one out, Karin! Thanks!
This is absolutely tongue & cheek. She took the media narrative of her being a crazy man eater who only dates for sport to use in her songs. She has a blank space to write them into her lyrics - notice her pen “clicks”.
Ah cool! I missed the pen click!
Yes, she has stayed friends with her best friend from 15 years old, Abigail. I believe you saw her at the dinner table on Miss Americana. She wrote “15” just for Abigail to hear, but Abigail said that other girls could get some help or insight from her experience. Taylor is friends with SO MANY people because she’s so genuine and kind.
The man, Sean O’Pry, is a worldwide model. He was so good looking that he didn’t even have to audition for the part.
Taylor did the lip biting part during the beginning of filming to make sure that they could show chemistry and it made him have feelings for her and he had a hard time looking at her in the eye after that. LOL. She’s definitely beautiful. To get paid to be kissed by Taylor? Oh what a job for a single man. 😂❤️
She performed this acoustically at the grammy museum back around the time this album came out and she talks about why she wrote this song. You should definitely check that out!
As others have said, this song is a satirical take on the media’s portrayal of Taylor’s love life. I think it’s a visually interesting video….mansion, white horses, cool car. It’s got it all! Her videos are always fire!
Taylor is one rare musician, Writer, Director,, lyrics are amazing, She really is the best in the industry, She's the whole package, She was in school for a while, Than she was home schooled because of bullying for her, It was for the love of the arts, Taylor, Pushes through it all.❤ Love her.
that sort of blurs everything together.
Swift attended a private Christian elementary school, a public middle school in PA, another public middle school in Tennessee, and 2 years of High School. She didn't homeschool because of bullying (which was in PA, mostly). She met her long term bestie Abigail on the first day of the ninth grade; High School was not the same as middle school for her. She homeschooled because she started a 6 month radio tour in 2006, followed by work as an opener for several artists; then work on a second album.
Tongue in cheek definitely and the metaphors are brilliant. The two white horses when it’s normally just the guy on a white horse. This is a perfect response to all the criticism she took for just dating like any other young woman. It’s genius really. Thanks for this and I hope you have a nice holiday 😊
@@dogloversmith7139 and, there's that song from Fearless, White Horse . . . . 👏🏻

She’s so self deprecating and funny. Thank you!

You should watch her grammy museum performance of this song. She explained why she wrote this song. She took everything media made up about her and put it on a song. She is great!!
Taylor’s gift IS her ability to write a melody, a damn good lyric and a bridge to remember. ❤
She has said (in her NPR Tiny Desk concert? Or Grammy Museum?) that she is most proud of the “Darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream” line
and yes, she does have at least one friend from high school named Abigail. Taylor was a bridesmaid at her wedding. She's, as far as I know, just a normal person living her life. But on Taylor's birthday she rubs elbows with celebs because taylor wants her there with them.
I cant recommend highly enough that you watch the Grammy Museum talk and performances, where she talks about some songs from 1989 and performs them live, just her and a guitar or piano. Its amazing

Tongue in cheek definitely. It’s a response to all the criticism about dating just like any other young woman. Many metaphors like the two white horses when it’s always just the guy on the white horse. It’s brilliant. Thank you for reacting to this and I hope you have a lovely holiday if you celebrate. It’s an American holiday though innit? 😊
It is, but it's always good to be grateful ain't it! Hope you had a good one!
The car wasn't harmed. That is a Shelby Cobra 427, worth a couple of million dollars.
A true classic!!
Amazing how you're reacting to Taylor's entire discography.
The song was a take on how the media portrated her to be. She read all what the media was saying about her and thought that would make a great character in her song.
This is one of my favorite song and video’s of her. SOOO FRKN GOOODDD
This was also a hit back at how everyone was always on her about “ all the men” she’s dated!
What’s weird is that she really hasn’t dated that many men. I don’t count teenage crushes & boyfriends. I only count adult relationships & at age 35 I think she gets an unfair narrative, I don’t think she’s dated that many.
It's all tongue in cheek, as she's portraying herself the way the media judged her to be. Not how she actually is! If you watch the video its so over the top, its obvious. And, a genius way to make that clear. 😂😂
Thank you for this thanksgiving surprise!
Throwing my recommendations in for the next song! She speaks a lot about philosophies of love on her Red album. I’d recommend State of Grace or Treacherous :)
Thanks for the reaction. There was the bit about changing someone and there is a song she did on TTPD called I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can).
The shake it off video is hilarious
The car was one of Taylor's; the golf club was just the handle, all the damage was CGI. You need to watch two other versions of the song: her solo acoustic at the Grammy Museum (she intros the song first), and then the 1989 World Tour version that was recorded in Sydney --- she uses the golf club to good effect there.

I'll check that out! Thanks, Robert!
The best clapback song! 💯👌
Ever!
Period•
This is from her 1989 album! I think you would really like that album because all the songs have an 80s sound to them😊
Izzy, this whole album 1989 is a pop masterpiece. Ryan Adams covered the whole thing and put out his version of 1989. His version is more alternative rock . I’d love to see you do a comparison reaction either here or on Patreon.
That's a good idea, Rose. I'll have a think about how to approach that. Thanks!
“Double entendre” is the term I believe you were looking for referring Taylor’s songwriting. 😊
This is her boyfriend’s favorite song of hers! 😄. This and Cowboy Like Me.
The damage to the car was CGI so no worries :)
So if you watch the Grammy museum perfomance of this song, (acustic on her guitarr) she explains the reason she wrote this song. It is satire, written from the perspective of the fake persona the media had tried to push her as being, when in reality she is the opposite. So she decided to write from that narrative´s perspective.

Great reaction! I believe that is a Stella glass you are drinking from. One of my favorites. Hope you have a great weekend!
“Love is where all your attempts to escape cease.” Woah Izzy! That was a great quote! Btw the Grammy Museum performance of Blank Space is very cool. She explains the inspiration for this track and is a great rendition of it. I’d love a follow up reaction to this film clip of that one 😊
Thanks, Kell! I'll check that out for sure.
She is so spectacular that everyone wants her. She wasn't popular in school.
Song suggestions:
1 No body, no crime (evermore): Taylor's incredible ability to take you into a story.
2 dead for a thousand cuts - in the “tiny desk concert” version (lover)
3 would've could've should've (midnights): about her relationship with John Mayer, who was 32 and she was only 19.
4 Cassandra (TTPD): Use of Greek mythology (Cassandra) showing that people don't believe her words and attack her because of that, going beyond all limits, destroying her... but when the truth comes out, no one cares. Because everyone just likes to attack. (She's talking about her problem with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the audio tape recorded (lie/edited) and everyone attacked Taylor)
5 you're losing me (midnights - from the vault): coming to the end of the relationship with Joe
6 Carolina: Music made for the film “Where the Crawdads Sing”.
Taylor has documentary out called miss Americana, It explains her journey.
Yes!! You would like this. It answers a lot of these questions you ponder 💭 Love your takes on Taylor & life ❤
I've reacted to it! It's available on Patreon and when I have the time I will edit it down for UA-cam.
🇨🇦 here! Love your TS reactions!!! Can’t wait for more! Hearing this performed live at Wembley in August was absolutely insane…the entire show was electric…but I think the stadium was shaking during her 1989 set lol!
Thanks!
This song is Taylor satirising herself and writing what the press made her out to be a desperate emotional, crazy woman who could not keep a man. When in reality she was dating like any normal woman in her 20s. Taylor has always taken what the haters through at her, put it on like amour and scream it right back at them, from songs to full eras and running themes. She isn't scared to embrace it to make them look stupid
Taylor's best friend is a regular lady she has been besties with since high school. She does have a group of friends she hangs with known as the squad. They are famous women but, not divas. They range from singers to actresses to models. Many she's been friends with for years.
Taylor has had a history of unhappy relationships. Some have used her for fame and money and some have cheated on her. She had a boyfriend for about 6 years and broke up in spring of 2023. This was a case of they loved each other but, were so different in wants and needs and personalities. It just did not work out in the end.
In the summer of 23 she performed her Eras tour in Kansas City, Missouri at the Football stadium, Arrowhead. One of the stars of the team, Chiefs, had a long time celebrity crush on her and he thought he'd try to meet her. The story is kind of long and funny. You can read about it on google or watch some UA-cam videos. Anyway, in the end Travis Kelce did hook up with Taylor and they have been together for almost a year and half. He's been good for Taylor. She has insecurities and axieties. Travis is a laid back, funny, fun loving guy and he has brought her out of her shell.
This video is sooo unhinged, but probably my favorite. Who poses in front of cheetah with makeup streaming down their face 😂 Taylor!
I think this is Travis’ fav song and lyric “I can make the bad guys good for a weekend” if I’m not mistaken. Look towards catching up on your videos. Happy Thanksgiving from Georgia,USA 🦃🤎
She had the idea of writing this song from how the media was portraying her as a “man eater” type, and over focusing on her love life. It is basically a parody of the media BS.
Have you done “The Man” video? It’s amazing and she also directed it.
From what I have read yes Taylor went to a conventional school, but she suffered a lot of bullying as per her mother on some interview I watched , so bullying is not new to Taylor, today she can let that all out and show those bullies how far she can go! She is just phenomenal, but yet still hate many haters, she did nothing to them I guess jealousy comes in all packages and it’s about them not Taylor!
lmao i didn’t go on youtube for a couple of days and when i came here your video literally showed up saying its only been uploaded 1 hour ago. perfect timing for serotonin boost 😂😂😂😂😂 anyway, taylor single-handedly changed all the girlies social media bio and caption into : “darling i’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.” in 2014. even those who didn’t listen to taylor knew that line. GLOBAL & CULTURAL IMPACT 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
reactors to blank space usually continue to wildest dream. that one is such a dreamy pretty song, izzy! she uses her own heartbeat for that song.
Cool! I've added Wildest Dream to my list. Thanks!
You should also watch her live performance of this song from her 1989 tour it’s great!
she was famous by highscool age, so no, she wasnt popular in school. This is a parody of the press saying she just dated everyone and disposed of them so no need to get too deep. This director is great.
I sometimes think about how absolutely terrifying it must be for Taylor to like really get close to new people (I was gonna say "for people with Taylor's level of fame, but I think she is a standalone right now). I'm no expert, but I would imagine that there is a lot of money in selling info and pictures from her private life. How do you trust anyone new when that trust can be so easily capitalized? I guess childhood friends are options, and maybe other people who are very famous.
Those thoughts are what really breaks me when i listen to the bridge in The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Like having your worst fears and paranoia confirmed.
Blank Space is such a fun video! I saw Taylor in an interview and she said it was tongue in cheek because everyone at the time thought she was dating too many guys. She then said if she was a man they wouldn’t think that way. lol. Another great video you should watch is “Are We Out Of The Woods Yet” Thanks Izzy for your insightful reviews, I really enjoy hearing what you think. 😊
Thanks for watching, Nancy! Love to ya!
This song was generated by the way the pooerozy, So she thought that is crazy, So this is a diss on the pop's. If that is how they were making it out to see her as a serial dater who gets men then break's up with them for the sake of a song or album, That's not her at all, She is now happy with Travis kelse, American football 🏈 ⭐ player, His position is tight end. For Kansas City Chiefs..
I fear you are taking this song way too seriously. She is making fun of the media conception of her and her lifestyle. Taylor Swift has a wicked sense of humor.
You really need to react to the Grammy museum live version of this. She explains why she wrote this song.
I came to explain the origin of this song but everyone beat me to it lol.
Great reaction :) Still Hoping for a reaction on the songs Dress and King of my hearts live from the reputation tour :D
I don't think 'I can make the bad guys good for a weekend' is about trying to change them it's saying they are good enough for a weekend and then good bye!
Listen I have wished all my life for Simon LeBon to pick me out of a magazine! Yes she is still best friends with her high school friend! She is actually in one of her earlier music videos! Also would love to see your reaction to Happiness, The Archer
Haha! There's still time, Debbie! I absolutely loved the Archer! Heard it when I reacted to City Of Lover which is available on Patreon. I'll cut it down for UA-cam when I have the time.
Next for Taylor on Patreon? Probably some Eras Tour!
I believe no cars were actually damaged, it was all CGI :D
Saw an interview where she said "Nightmare dressed like a daydream " was her favorite line of any of her songs....years ago so that may have changed. Here it is ua-cam.com/users/shortswAYu4ryC7mc
This is completely random but something you said made me think of it. Do you know who Dax Riggs is?
When you look at Shake It Off, there are 8 (eight) behind the scenes videos ! individually pretty short, worth your time .
I've made a note of that. Thanks, Robert!
Please also react to Taylor’s version!!! Of This song it deserves streams to!!
I see you have gotten the background on the song. If you are interested in hearing Taylor explain the inspiration, in her own words, I will leave the link. She performed live at the Grammy museum. It is in the top 3 live vocal performance in my opinion, so worth checking out on your own, even if you don't react to it. ua-cam.com/video/p1Zt47V3pPw/v-deo.html
Thanks, Stephanie!
I listened to 1989 when she first released it, but never truly appreciated it until she re-recorded and released it. It’s become one of my favorite albums of hers.
You should have gotten context for this video before you watched.The whole thing was what she had heard what the public thought about her.
Izzy: Please do Teddy Swims Lose Control. It is such a great song and was #1 in the spring.

You will NOT regret reacting to this gem. And it is a gem.
You gotta do The Man
That needs the video for full effect 😊
It's uploading as we speak. The official video.
