The folklore album was written and recorded during the Covid pandemic and everyone contributed their parts remotely..the long pond sessions was the first time that Taylor and her two producers /co writers were together playing the songs..so bon recorded separately and was wearing his Covid mask/face covering
Ahhhh!!! That makes so much sense! Thanks for explaining that! 💖💖
I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but Last Great American Dynasty is about Rebekah Harkness. It’s the woman who owned Taylor’s Rhode Island home before Taylor!
Her masterpieces Folklore and Evermore were recorded within months of each other and both released in 2020 during quarantine. She made these bc she was bored & they had fun. 😂 She’s incredible.❤
I think “I did something bad” in The Reputation Tour is gonna knock your socks off!!!
I think another interpretation of the term 'the last great american dynasty', in regards to patriarchal society, is that of thinking that only a man can carry down a dynasty, implying a woman is incapable of such a thing. And since Rebekah and Bill didn't have any sons (or kids in general), there was no male descent to carry down the Harkness legacy, apart from a woman - Rebekah. That's why according to the conservative thinkers the dynasty was so-called 'ruined' and therefore, Bill (Rebekah's husband who passed away due to a heart attack) was 'the last great successor of the Harkness dynasty'.
Few parallels between Rebekah and Taylor:
1. "It must have been her fault his heart gave out": Here, Rebekah is blamed for her husband’s death, even though she was not responsible for his demise. This presages the sexist attitudes Rebekah would be subjected to and draws an interesting parallel between her and Taylor Swift, whose experience with sexism is well documented. Remember how the media and anti-swifties used to blame Taylor for her past failed relationships, and never threw hate at any of her exes. Especially the time when 19-year-old Taylor dated 32 year John Mayer, people only criticised Taylor for the downfall of their relationship. Like seriously, how was she supposed to know, she was barely an adult. John Mayer should've known better according to his age, and yet he got away with it. (Listen to 'Dear John' from Speak Now Album by Taylor to know what I am talking about. PS: She wrote the entire Speak Now Album all by herself without any co-writers, when 19 years old).
2. "There goes the last great American dynasty, Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been": Taylor introduces the continuing sexist motif of women being blamed entirely for people’s own problems. Rebekah is blamed for destroying the “last great American dynasty” even though her husband’s problems were his own. The society around her, however, finds it easy to blame her for his and their own problems since she is an easy target as an unconventional woman of the time. Rebekah’s experience parallels the modern-day female experience, who to this day, are subjugated to such sexist assertions. Taylor herself has been unjustifiably accused of “ruining everything” for a person. In a 2017 civil trial, Taylor testified that DJ David Mueller had sexually assaulted her. When the jury sided with Taylor, Mueller blamed Taylor for “ruining his life,” instead of acknowledging that his own predatory actions sealed his fate.
3. "Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city": Rebekah's friend circle who was referred to as 'Bitch Pack' would have possibly gotten the same criticism that the so-called 'Taylor Swift Squad' (a name given by media, as Taylor and her friends, don't refer themselves with that title) has gotten previously. Taylor's squad includes actresses such as Jaime King, Hailee Steinfeld, Sarah Hyland, and Emma Stone. Singers such as Lorde, Selena Gomez, and Ed Sheeran. Models including Martha Hunt, Lily Aldridge, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid, and Cara Delevingne are also a part of the squad. Many of the people in the squad have even appeared in Taylor's “Bad Blood” music video.
4. "Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names": Although this line is meant for Rebekah, we can still imply it to Taylor. Before she disappeared for a year in 2016, Taylor used to throw big 4th of July parties, ironically at her Rhode Island house - 'Holiday House' and the invite list included big names. After her hiatus in 2016, Taylor has become private as far as sharing her private life details is concerned on public platforms. She has become more careful regarding what she posts on social media. She also made a reference to a similar line in a song about Kanye called 'This is why we can't have nice things' from reputation Album.
5. "And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet": of course, people slut-shamed Rebekah for her multiple failed marriages, the similar way they have criticised Taylor for her dating life in the early 2010s.
6. "There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen": Obvious reference to Taylor's song called 'mad woman', which is also on 'folklore'. This song, according to Swifties' interpretation is about Sc*oter Br*un and Yael Br*un (Sc*oter's wife); K*nye W*st and Kim K*rdashian. 'Mad woman' is one of my favourite songs from folklore, as in this song, which I think a lot of swifties would agree with, Taylor predicted Kim and K*anye; Sc*oter and Yael' divorce in the bridge of the song. And guess what? They did end up getting divorced post the release of folklore. Remember the time when in 73 questions interview with Vogue Taylor said, "Karma is real"? Well, I guess she wasn't just joking with that statement. Tayvoodoo is true y'all.

Heyyy! 👋🏾😁 thanks so much for watching with me and for leaving such lovely feedback too! 😊 Funnily enough, I literally finished watching and listening to these longpond sessions a couple of days ago! They're up on Patreon but youtube currently has blocked them 😭 so fingers crossed they unblock them! But if not, you can always watch them over on Patreon: patreon.com/Room2703Reacts - thanks again!

Enjoyed your video. I hope after Folklore you will react to its sister album Evermore, it has the same vibe and is really good. You would also love her newer album Midnights. Different vibe, and a great album. Besides being a great songwriter, creator/producer, with a beautiful and unique voice, she's also quite likable and endearing. I hope you continue the journey, you will not be disappointed!
Aww thanks so much for that! And yeah once I'm done with this, I'm sure there will be more I want to see - a sister album sounds perfect! Thanks for watching with me! 💖
My tears ricochet next!!!
Is that the next track on the album?? I'm OCD like that lol! 😋💖
SUBSCRIBED. expecting more of her start with the ALL TOO WELL 10 MINUTES VERSION
Ahhh thank you so much for watching with me! More to come soon! 🤩💖
Justin Vernon was the one singing Exile. Great reaction.

I am sorry to report that the legendary Tina Turner just passed away. She will be missed by millions worldwide by those who loved her. May she forever rest in eternal peace.

The Last Great American Dynasty was my least favorite too. I am so glad you are giving Taylor a chance. Taylor recently was featured with The National, the song is called "The Alcott" I think you would really enjoy it.
