There's a good “behind the scenes” video about the making of this video. It shows Taylor directing the video while in full makeup. Hearing her normal voice while she looks like that is hilarious.
The one subtlety I think you missed is that she's not talking about all guys or most guys. She's talking about if SHE were a FAMOUS man, the way she is a famous woman, all of that stuff would be expected and okay. As a famous woman, she is not allowed to sleep with a bunch of people, be "rude," spend her money the way she wants, etc. But if she were a famous man it would all be applauded (note the hands applauding the guy as he left his one night stand). "I'd be just like Leo, in St. Tropez" (Leonardo DiCaprio).
@@lapetiteavocado babe as a woc myself let me ask you: what other standpoint do you want her to write from???? I think it would be EXTREMELY disingenuous for her to act like she understands the struggles of race and gender and sexuality from a trans person's perspective or a black woman's perspective. If you disagree with me, just think about how shallow people thought her YNTCD mv was.
Great reaction! Best part of this song is that Taylor said The Man isnt about how she would’ve lived her life differently if she had been a man, rather it’s about how she would be viewed if she had ‘made all the same decisions and lived her life exactly the same way…but as a man’. It’s the double standards of perception. Taylor isn’t allowed the grace to brag about her money, getting models, or astrometric career success, even as she’s witnessed her male peers do those things with minimal backlash. The video is more generally about misogynistic stereotypes and the things society excuses for men but not women. Even if ppl criticize a lot of the behaviors displayed in the video, many of them are still permitted & even encouraged in certain environments.
So glad you liked the song and don't worry, I absolutely did not think you forgot about me! Another great reaction and I loved how Evan guessed the theme of the song before it even started. Good job recognizing that it was her under all that makeup, too! 😊 Thanks for the video!
Guys you should react to florida!!! by taylor and florence and the machine. Jake i was seeing that you wanted to know if Florence and the machine has ever collaborated with Taylor so well yeah!! YOU GUYS ARE GONNA LOVE THAT.
You’re all hilarious. 😂You were aaaalmost questioning yourselves after you saw “real Taylor” standing next to “Man-Taylor” with The Rock’s voiceover. I love that she threw a tennis ball at her dad (Tennis Judge). LOL. She said he could be in show business. The BTS of this video isn’t very long, but it’s still really funny. It’d be a great follow up to this! Thank you Evan, Ethan, Jake and Victoria!! 👍🏻🎙️🥰 Evan - 11/11!! 🥳🏆 You sound like you’re feeling much better, Jake! Happy to see. Great reaction, as always!! 🥰🫶🏼
Hi there. A quick thanks from a Danish (very) grown up woman for you restoring a little trust in the future of the world by saying that her lyrics are important. I’m not a swiftie, but enjoy her music when it’s on the radio (yes, she obv gets airtime in Denmark too) and find her truly inspiring for young women and girls to look up to. And the issue in this song is very real even here in my country, that tops all lists of gender equality, women’s rights etc. So for you young men to acknowledge this, THANK YOU! Please remember to act on it too.
Thanks guys, all of you have a great sense of humor, whitty, funny, fun..love your bk n forth banter n stories of your past..makes us laugh, giggle n happy day..Fun Family😎 Have you watched the ERAS Tour, Live performance of, The Man.. You’d enjoy it? Thanks
I had NO idea till the end of the video that it was her. But i mean i am the kind of person who could kinda believe the Superman glasses disguise would make me not recognize that he's the same person as Clark Kent. Lol. I easily get tricked.
I can't remember if I realized it was her the first time I saw this, but since then her mouth/teeth make it obvious to me. Love Taylor and your Tay Sway journey!
My goodness. You guys did it again. It doesn't even seem possible at this point but EVERY SINGLE VIDEO gets better each time! That bald one has changed something deep inside of me. He's made me want to be a better person just from these videos.
I got it in like the first 90 secs😂😂Mostly because when the thought struck me that it might be her in disguise I immediately thought that is precisely what Taylor would do. It's exactly how her mind works...
You guys are sorta right but Taylor is more calling out double standards in society A women in the media and in general is forced to get married and have kids is judged on her relationships and what she wears while a Man does that stuff and he isn’t criticized at all he’s celebrated it’s more saying I want equality I wanted to be treated fairly not like an object you know! But thank you so much for being mature men and not getting pissed at this song we appreciate Men like you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is such a fun and meaningful song! I have loved your TaySway reactions recently, and I am currently binging them... Would loveto see you react to "no body, no crime" ft. HAIM
Love your reactions! Previously saw you said you lost the footage for your reaction to No Body No Crime and didn’t want to redo it since it wouldn’t be true first reaction. One work around for that is in her acoustic surprise song section during Eras Tour she did an AMAZING mashup she title “The Murder Mashup” of Carolina x No Body No Crime and her vocals on it are INSANE! Highly recommend looking it up and reacting! Would be a fan video from the tour.
All of you seemed to miss the very first part about how if she had dated as a man she would be praised for her conquests but as a woman she's been berated for every relationship she's had because she dates too much according to society.
I love this song & video. It really lays bare the double standards in society, and the ones placed on her throughout her career. She dated people and had a number of relationships & heartbreaks in her teens to early 30’s - as MOST young people do. Yet she’s shamed for “going through so many men”, whereas men older than her like Drake & Leo get a free pass for getting through literally hundreds of women and not settling down. Leo in his 50’s can cavort on yachts with models, rappers can make it rain in strip clubs, but if she did that she’d be a “slut” or accused of flaunting her wealth. Her successes in the music industry are minimized or not taken seriously by so many men because they see her as just a blonde female pop star, when in fact she’s been probably the most dominant artist of the last decade and one of the most dominant of all time. She’s won more Grammy’s for album of the year than Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder etc, yet somehow isn’t regarded as seriously as them by most men (you guys excepted of course).
Thank you, you guys, again for the reaction. Love it. You only see me like and comment on Taylor Swift videos. It's too hard to skip. Lol btw, I like Evan's room. It's so cool.
Well maybe you're joking about throwing the ball but... honestly it's the way she tantrumed the racket that was the dead giveaway!! You can spot a theatrical TSwift angry-move from another city lol. Other than that, she was hilariously flawless!!
Guys, you are trying to run from her point. Your “boring” life is still what she is saying. Nobody cares how many women you date or sleep with before marrying. Nobody calls you an SOB when you are being a manager or the force at work.
one of the most savage things she does in the video is take two situations where men publicly profited off of her without her consent: 1. when she pees against the wall - that wall has the names of her first 6 albums written on it, which are all of the albums that were sold to sc**ter br**n despite the fact that she wanted ownership of them. 2. on the boat and also in the bedroom (so at the beginning of the second verse and the second chorus), that will always instantly remind me of the famous music video by k*nye, where he used a doll version of her naked body, which is the grossest thing. in his video you can see her face, it looks exactly like her, and we all know how she feels about it. the fact that that video with that scene is still on the internet where everyone can see it disgusts me. everything he did and does is gross, but he should actually be in jail for using her likeness without her consent in such a way.
I didnt see Taylor as The Man, during my first view. Once I knew she was, I noticed the way she used her hands, and saw her in profile once. Otherwise it really was an awesome transformation. Kudos, to the crew who transformed her into the MAN. Men should watch this while considering how they want their sisters, wives, and daughters (present or future) to be givenopportunities and treatment as a man in the same position is given. Most women do not take success for granted, therefore they must be overachievers, facing criticism for doing just that. Just as Taylor is criticized in the music industry, and life, regardless of all her many successes.
Jake: I have my ankles crossed right now Alex: I have my ankles crossed too! Jake: I mean we are the related ones Evan’s face: Utter shock & betrayal, a true WTF moment 🤣 You guys are fucking hilarious
I have really enjoyed watching you guys watch Taylor. As you know, she’s a powerhouse of a woman with amazing creative drive. Lyrics, tours, videos, interviews- she never gives less than 100%. And all the scrutiny and pressure she’s been put under as a celebrity. I’m not sure if anyone has shared her sexual assault case which is really testament to her incredible character. It is not often brought up by her, nor does it need to be publicly- but it’s incredibly important and another chapter in why her fans are dedicated to her. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_sexual_assault_trial
Thank you for being some of the few men who don’t get butthurt by this song thinking she is attacking men
the scene at the end where Taylor says to be "more sexy and likeable" is actually something that has been said to her in the past
I think every woman has been said this at some point. If I had a coin for every time a man told me to smile... I'd be a billionaire.
@@sabrinarosario6499 yeah same lol
The tennis judge is Taylor’s dad Scott. The man’s voice is the Rock.
There's a good “behind the scenes” video about the making of this video. It shows Taylor directing the video while in full makeup. Hearing her normal voice while she looks like that is hilarious.
Yeah I recommend watching it!
I came here to say the same thing… You have to watch the BTS… It is HILARIOUS
1 minute in and Evan’s already cooking with gas
The one subtlety I think you missed is that she's not talking about all guys or most guys. She's talking about if SHE were a FAMOUS man, the way she is a famous woman, all of that stuff would be expected and okay. As a famous woman, she is not allowed to sleep with a bunch of people, be "rude," spend her money the way she wants, etc. But if she were a famous man it would all be applauded (note the hands applauding the guy as he left his one night stand). "I'd be just like Leo, in St. Tropez" (Leonardo DiCaprio).
She also makes a point to show black men and men of lower classes as having varied degrees of privilege compared to him.
Yup, but let's be for real, this is very much specifically from a white feminist (millionaire girlie's) standpoint!
@@angeljaceherondalebecause this is just literally the minimum effort, not anything she should be "applauded" for
@@lapetiteavocado babe as a woc myself let me ask you: what other standpoint do you want her to write from????

@@r-ln5xw I don't understand what you're getting at?
Shout out Scott Swift as the tennis judge

Yeah, not all reactors spot that.
"I'm fucking wall-to-wall right now" LOL
“I mean… we are the related ones” 💀😂
Coming from a step family, that was a little bit traumatic tbh.
Guys you should react to florida!!! by taylor and florence and the machine. Jake i was seeing that you wanted to know if Florence and the machine has ever collaborated with Taylor so well yeah!! YOU GUYS ARE GONNA LOVE THAT.
❤ love how Taylor's crew made her look like an actual man
UHMazing reaction!! I honestly didn’t even know it was Taylor when I first watched it so you guys did great 😂
You’re all hilarious. 😂You were aaaalmost questioning yourselves after you saw “real Taylor” standing next to “Man-Taylor” with The Rock’s voiceover.

You may be the ONLY reactors that knew it was her. Most have no clue till the end 😂

My first time watching you guys... The Swiftie in me brought me here and I'm so glad because guys seem AWESOME ❤🎉
The old man in the wedding looks like older Dick Van Dyke. I KNOW ITS TAYLOR
I can't remember if I realized it was her the first time I saw this, but since then her mouth/teeth make it obvious to me. Love Taylor and your Tay Sway journey!
Thanks guys!!! I laughed.
For me, it was how she held the kid on her hip. Women do that thrust out men, none that’ve seen, do that. They hold the kid with their forearm.
To me it was how she pulled in her lower body as she moved around both at the start and as the tennisplayer. Most men seem to lead with the pelvis.
This is from the perspective of others. They would see her the way they see a man who is a leader..if she were the man. Epic 😊
My goodness. You guys did it again. It doesn't even seem possible at this point but EVERY SINGLE VIDEO gets better each time!
That bald one has changed something deep inside of me. He's made me want to be a better person just from these videos.
been waiting for this
You are so right!
That’s the point, they are doing all the typical man things by 100
Loved this! So much fun. Thanks for watching with us!!
I got it in like the first 90 secs😂😂Mostly because when the thought struck me that it might be her in disguise I immediately thought that is precisely what Taylor would do. It's exactly how her mind works...
Ahh I have been waiting for yall to do this one!!
I also picked up that it was Taylor Swift pretty much right away but A LOT of people didn’t know until the end credits 😂
You guys are way cool and it's fun to watch with you
very well done. I did not catch that my first watch.
I love this video 😂 Taylor is a genius
The behind the scenes is great. This was the first music video she directed.
It’s also very Wolf of Wall Street inspired
That was fun .. great reaction luv TS & u guys ty 🎶
You guys are sorta right but Taylor is more calling out double standards in society A women in the media and in general is forced to get married and have kids is judged on her relationships and what she wears while a Man does that stuff and he isn’t criticized at all he’s celebrated it’s more saying I want equality I wanted to be treated fairly not like an object you know!

Lol there was nothing about this reaction that I did not love. Fucking hilarious. 😂
😂
FINALLYYY OMMGGG
Definitely watch Behind the scenes / making of video for The Man. 😅
I'm a big swiftie and I just realized at the end it was her 😂😂
This is such a fun and meaningful song! I have loved your TaySway reactions recently, and I am currently binging them... Would loveto see you react to "no body, no crime" ft. HAIM

Florida!!! With Florence + the machine. And Seven from the long pond sessions, with the intro please 🙏
They did a great job of converting her face, but if you look at the legs, it's her.

Hilarious reaction for a funny video. I always want the body shot bts cause it would have to be hilarious 😆
"i mean we are the related ones" LMAO JAKE
That one definitely stung!
it be brutal out here 💀
❤
Ppl looked at me crazy when ai said I saw a fish swim by the window yesterday lol
We are the ones who are related just sent me 😅😂
Thank you, you guys, again for the reaction. Love it. You only see me like and comment on Taylor Swift videos. It's too hard to skip. Lol btw, I like Evan's room. It's so cool.
Stereotype not stigma! Except the girly run down the hall high-fiving the hands. Lol
Well maybe you're joking about throwing the ball but... honestly it's the way she tantrumed the racket that was the dead giveaway!! You can spot a theatrical TSwift angry-move from another city lol. Other than that, she was hilariously flawless!!
Guys, you are trying to run from her point. Your “boring” life is still what she is saying. Nobody cares how many women you date or sleep with before marrying. Nobody calls you an SOB when you are being a manager or the force at work.
It’s about how she was patronized and belittled.
The part with the man with his daughter in the park is so infuriating to moms everywhere
we´re the related ones hahahaha
Jake’s arm tats and arms in the thumbnail tho. Anyone else peep that. 👀😂
Haha what's wrong with them?? 😭-J
Nothing they’re great. Just laughing cos I’m totally objectifying you 😂
do more ts videos
Hey guys. New subscriber here. You guys should react to the videos of Bad Blood and End Game especially if you like Ed Sheeran
Can you do ' but daddy I him'
🎾🎾🎾
Her brother Austin has the same eyes. 😬
Taylor looks like Austin in this video
I never knew which one of you was the cousin. 😂
def not a CS song. so fng clever and well done.
one of the most savage things she does in the video is take two situations where men publicly profited off of her without her consent:
1. when she pees against the wall - that wall has the names of her first 6 albums written on it, which are all of the albums that were sold to sc**ter br**n despite the fact that she wanted ownership of them.

Hope you’ve seen the I can see you now video lol cuz I see you hooligans
Taylor is talking about how men think they’re so much better then women
Evan how dare you say that about throwing like a girl!!! 😂😂😂 j/k ! You guys are funny❤
😅
Did nobody go down the “man wall” rabbit hole on here? 😂
I’m not good at throwing, running, catching etc lol. Actually I’m just not good at being a man lol 😂
"I'm rarely wrong" and aren't
😂

You guys are fucking hilarious
🤣
The one dude: "I think it's gonna be about a man in her life."
Me: Of course you do, because "she only writes songs about dudes" right?
*Takes breath*
cowboy like me by taylor reaction is a NEED 🤎
