Overall, a super consistent album from beginning to end! Really enjoyed it.
My initial faves were: willow, gold rush, tolerate it, no body no crime, happiness, Dorothea, ivy, cowboy like me, Marjorie, closure, evermore.
So many of these songs have hit me even more on second, third listen!
There’s something about No body, no crime that I’m just in love with them I listen to happiness and start sobbing
Omg, marjorie just made me cry AGAIN just a moment ago...
@@ellierichardson1616 i think i love it but i just can't prove it
Thank u 4 'tis damn timestamp!
I am so happy that you liked Closure too. Many fans don't like that song because sonically they found it weird
I love champane problems because everyone feel sad/sympathy about the person who ask and gets rejected but no one thinks about the person who rejects, that how bad and guilty they must be feeling after rejecting someone especially in front of so many people
This is why public proposals make me SO uncomfortable. I cannot imagine the stress of standing there and knowing how people are going to think of you if you say no, on top of the stress of going through the decision itself.
When she says the part “she would’ve been a beautiful bride what a shame she’s f...ed in the head” is what made me think of it differently, from that perception and d@mn it got me then 😭 cause I’m pretty sure so many females, like myself, can relate to that line. It’s just so sad all the way around! Which makes for such a good song!!
Ellis Lupin oh i couldn’t even imagine. Cause I’d that person who says yes but not mean it, only saying it bc I don’t wanna disappoint anyone😒
sAMEDT 🤧💔
@@ellishale2523 OMGGG ME TOO. I don't like public proposals. If you want to propose to me, do it between us, not us and our family/friends/entire world. What if I say no? Then it's embarrassing us both.
Este was killed by her husband when she found out about his infidelity, The narrator/taylor was Este's friend and she killed the guy and his mistress was framed for it
Este is one of the sisters name in the band Hiam which is her real freind which who is playing and singing in the background on Nobody No crime.
“they think she did it but they just can’t prove it”
Also, there was a girl named MARJORIE WEST who went missing, her sister's name was DOROTHEA. Marjorie West was never found and therefore 'No body no crime.' Taylor Swift is a genius. The way she literally made another story just through the titles (And the songs carry an entirely diff story)
@@jheeljhala9866 Marjorie was her grandmother though so i don't think it's because of the Marjorie west
@@mksketchms I mean obviously I know that. That’s why I said that the titles of the album might make a different story, and the songs make a different one. Wouldn’t that be genius on the songwriting part?
The way I teared up on Tolerate it, one of the strongest track in this album
It’s growing up to be my 2nd favourite track 5! (after All Too Well)
She really makes you feel the emotion.Everything she does makes you feel like you're in that characters head.
What would you do if I
Took this dagger in me and removed it
Gained the weight of you then lose it
Believe me, I can do it
-- kills me every time
Champagne Problems is one of the most brutal things she's ever written.
I think it "my tears ricochet" and "mad woman" is more brutal. And even "tolerate it"
@@uneedtherapy5937 I don't know why people always mention champagne problems but not tolerate it.. Like the lyrics shatter me
@@awkwardavocado1589 ikrrr. And even happiness and coney Island
Fr!!!
@@uneedtherapy5937 pretty much every song at this point lmao
Most artists struggle to make 1 cohesive album at a time. And here's Taylor nailing that perfectly with 2 albums in just few months' time.
With folklore, she arrived at the station and then evermore set the wheels in motion. Life came full circle!
It's such a gift. I love it wholeheartedly. Never loved and adored an album (or two lol) before as i do these ones
A 19 year old who appreciate taylor's music? We love to see it
@@gabgonzales4570 yessirr
@@gabgonzales4570 big PP
@@gabgonzales4570 Real men listen to Taylor Swift! ☝😇
Ivy is probably about Emily Dickinson and her long-time lover Sue. They fell in love when they were young women and then Sue married Emily's brother (some believe she did this so that she could remain close to Emily and others wouldn't be suspicious of their love), and the two had a life long relationship documented by Emily's poems and letters to Sue. Taylor released Evermore on Emily Dickinson's birthday, and in two of Emily's letters to Sue, she ends them by writing "for evermore!"
Sue has often been described as the “muse” for Emily’s poetry (“can’t stop you putting roots in my dreamland” could reference how her love for Sue was the inspiration for her poetry/creative outlet), the cottagecore imagery in the song resembles the setting in which their love flourished (poems and letters described the time they spent together in the woods and in nature). And one of Dickinson’s letters to Sue also reads “I guess I’m made with nothing but a hard heart of stone, for it don’t break any, and dear Susie, if mine is stony, yours is stone, upon stone, for you never yield, any, where I seem quite beflown.” So like in Ivy, the “house of stone” is Emily Dickinson’s “hard heart of stone” and the ivy that grows all over it is Sue’s love. AHHH!
Oh and one more theory - the lyric "my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand” could be referring to how Emily Dickinson left all of her poetry to Sue after she died (the “pain” being her poems) and how Sue was the only person/collaborator she trusted to share her first drafts of her poems with
That's so cool! I knew Ivy was referencing Emily Dickinson in some way but I didn't know how.
Thank you for sharing this!
🤯🤯🤯🤯
I-
In Marjorie when she says 'singing to me now' you can hear her grandmother's vocals she was an opera singer and she's credited in the song for vocals too
That one had me in tears.Her grandmother is the one who got her interested in music.Cant you imagine what her grandmother would think if her granddaughter now. I bet she never imagined that her influence would lead her to become one of he biggest superstars in the world!Well The biggest.
fun fact: her boyfriend joe alwyn aka william bowery played the piano on evermore (track) and he even cowrote 3 songs from this album
And the chord progression and playing pattern on champagne problems was also his courtesy
"i don't like that falling feels like flying till the bones crush" SUCH a beautifully written album it warms my heart and gold rush is my favorite although it's really hard to pick a favorite
Did you know she wrote Happiness just last week? 😭 Her mind❤️
That’s incredible. Such a beautiful song!
omg really?? wow!! it's so ironic that the song is actually sad despite of the title "happiness" ..such a masterpiece, probably one of my favorites from the album ❤️Taytay is a musical genius, she always proves it❤️
i can write a song like that in a day
@@madonnaswift4768 congratulations on you being a certified asshole then❤️
@@madonnaswift4768 where are your grammys may i ask?
Every time you upload my day gets better.
So sweet thank you!
@@sherthetruth I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel when I did. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!
Same!! I have never clicked on a video this fast ❤️
Yess
For real - def one of the only album reactors whose vids I don't ever skip or skim through.
The only critic I care about

a lot of people didnt appreciate that part in the evermore song...BUT I DO>>>
Best part! All the rush of feelings..
I love the whole song.
In looove with it😭
are we talking about the dress i wore at midnight because girl..
I do too. Its like a thoughts sinking in ur mind, ur depressed and u survived.
OKAY THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION ON GOLD RUSH 😭 I LOVE THAT SONG BUT I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT METAPHOR REFERENCED
Taylor said the whole song takes place in a daydream, where you think about what it would be like to be with that person that everyone is in love with, but then you snap out of it at the end.
She said “Jack’s favorite is gold rush, which takes place inside a single daydream, where you get lost in thought for a minute then snap out of it”
@@Leonore995 where did she said that? im srry im lost :(
@@cm-mb8hi when you were in the chat waiting for the premiere of the Willow music video, she was answering some questions and talking about the album
@@Leonore995 “but then you snap out of it in the end” 8:00 taylor is a genius
The husband killed Este and Taylor killed the man but they just couldn't prove it because they thought it was the mistress 👀
mistress knew it was taylor
but she just couldn't prove it
It’s really simple idk why ppl don’t get it
Taylor is the narrator it’s Este’s friend who killed him because he killed Este and Este’s sister helped
@@JessLoveyy some people are a little slow jessica! Haha no seriously, i am people. I thought somehow the wife killed him lol which makes no sense of course so i was confused at first but after the second listen im like, “oh yeah that makes more sense, silly me.”
sugawara pfp........ Taylor fan..... elite
Coney Island is so beautiful and so heartbreaking at the same time it's not being talked about enough if people give it time it'll warm their heart❤️
for me, the song falls into a place in between Taylor's and the band's styles, and it never quite hits the right spot. It doesn't help that Matt's voice doesn't blend very well with Taylor's. The song is good though. I can't get the "over and over..." melody out of my head.
@@franks8462 it gets better towards the later part of the song. On the first listen even i didn't quite like it as much because it's quite slow and there's too many gaps between the lyrics where the music takes over but once i really listened with the lyrics 'the sight that flashed before me was your face' and 'but when i walked up to the podium i think i forgot to say your name' just melted my heart into puddles with just how heartwarming that is haha.
I love that it was co written with joe 😂
Coney Island i feel like is connected to Come back... be here by taylor swift i love iy
Toward the end of the song I think the guy dies the sight that flashed before me was your face. He must have been in a wrong wreck because she then says but t when I walked up to the podium I forgot to say youre name.
Yes!! A true queen who appreciates “closure”!! I feel like it’s been off putting to a lot of people but I really like it. I feel like the chaotic percussions represents the underlying feelings while the delicate and catchy piano is the surface level response of “I’m good, I don’t need anything from you thanks”
From Better than Revenge to I Forgot That You Existed to closure. Absolute evolution.
From the chaotic sound transitioning to calm piano of Evermore, I think the song prepares you for the conclusion of the album.
Not a fan of the song because of the chaotic sounds but I think it was a song that she needed to put out there for her own closure lol. I saw a comment on another video where someone had a theory the sounds were emulating “big machine” sounds and the song is about Scott borchetta
also a huge fan of closure! one of my bracelets was "tears, beers, spite, and candles" 🙂
even though most of the tracks are fictional stories, it still touches the listener’s heart cause of the insane words that taylor has used everytime in songwriting. Words are really meaningful 😢 Marjorie hits hard after I’ve heard marjorie’s singing with taylor near the end of the song,
Thank you for the video, really love your reaction!
top fav: gold rush, champagne problem, marjorie, no body, no crime
also it’s so beautiful how differently all of us can interpret taylor’s songs. for me tolerate it can also be about the fear of coming out to your parents/loved ones
wow ! i never thought of it that way.
People reacting were mentioning parents or a significant other and I was so confused cause I only got the homophobic reaction from someone close 😭
Yeah same! and in one interview Taylor mentioned the struggle of coming out for people and how people “tolerate it” when they should celebrate it. I definitely think that it’s a fair interpretation.
same... i felt like even after coming out, it can only seem like your parents will only love you because you're their child, not because they appreciate who you are :((((((( tolerating it instead of celebrating it
This just gave a whole new meaning of this song to me. Maybe I didn't cry earlier listening to it cuz I didn't relate but maybe I will now :')
Ivy captures the romanticism of being in an affair. It’s the ‘sweetest’ cheating song I’ve ever heard. There is a lot of self awareness that it’s wrong but she doesn’t feel like she can stop herself from falling. It’s one of those honest emotions that people don’t want to admit to because it’s so taboo because as all know that ‘cheating is bad’
do you think Ivy is connected to illicit affairs ?
@@jamesdean1105 in my mind ivy is about the woman who was tolerated in track 5 finds someone but she knows this is bad
Taylor said in longpond sessions how people just see these situations as black and white or good and bad when the people in these situations are humans just like everyone else and they're not malicious for falling in love with someone taken and i think ivy (and illicit affairs ofc) captures that perfectly
+ how the August and illicit affairs (and ivy) lady is so humanised even though she's most probably the 'other girl' in a relationship
@@pagalaurat2174 I like that
Este finds out she's being cheated and confront her husband. Then he killed her. And next thursday at Olive Garden she didn't appear. Este's husband report her missing wife to the police. Taylor saw the truck of Este's husband with new tires and suspect of him. Taylor and Este's sister comploted to kill Este's husband and created and alibi to make Este's husband mistress a suspect because of all that insurance shit lmao. sprry about my english but i rlly wwanted tto write this lmao idk why .
Marjorie is her grandmother. She was an opera singer, and Taylor uses her voice in the background. Towards the end of the song. It’s very haunting, haunting is the best way. Love how Taylor made this song. It’s so special. And so cool that she was able to use her actual voice and in such a sweet personal way.
Also, if you haven’t watched her lyric video for “Majorie” go watch it immediately and then watch Taylors “Wildest Dreams” video 🤯
my interpretation of "Ivy" was that it was sung from the perspective of a ghost who died at the hand of her husband who found out about an affair she was having. So many references to spirits, being cold, and the graveyard at the start of the song. love your video so much
Oooooo i love this interpretation!
'Freezing hand' also made me think about someone dead :)
I relate it to tolerate it, she thinks about leaving him but ends up cheating on him. she wasn't recieving the love from him so she had to seek it somewhere else. But she also is regretting cheating on her husband because thats not the right thing to do.
the bridge in champagne problems killed me! 😭💘
We just found out that "'tis the damn season" is the adult teens from her song "The Way I Loved You" and the guy's perspective is "dorothea" 🙌🏼😭
where'd she say this??
No I’m crying stop lol
@@candletabletop154 she didn't say it.
The Way I Loved You
Lyrics:
"He can't see the smile I'm faking" (pertaining to her current bf, which means the ex she's singing about can tell which smiles she's faking)
"'tis the damn season"
Lyrics:
"Wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking"
(Talking about the her ex lover that she left in her hometown, aka, the guy she's singing about in twily)
"dorothea" is pretty much self explanatory, about how he's been missing her ever since she left.
In Evermore the start of the song is slow like you're just walking and once Bon Iver comes in and it starts to speed up it feels like you're running and something is escalating and something's happening and then it stops and slows down like you just got to that edge of the cliff and you're just there and the rest of the song just plays out. The other way I see it is that you're with someone and you just are having a talk and then that talk turns into a fight and then someone says something that slows that fight to a halt and the other person shuts down and that's when the song slows down and then it ends like they're walking away.
Yes!! I love how that song plays out. Also I heard someone say it makes them think of seasons changing. Like Taylors singing it’s winter then bon iver starts his verse it changes to spring. Referring to people with seasonal depression. I love to hear how others interpret her songs. Such a beautiful cool thing!! I really really like how u describe it 🤯
🤯 LOVE THIS!!!! ❤️
Sis, when you do these videos, you're helping other people appreciate the album more (especially evermore)... Thank you
This was fun!
I just wanted to share this theory about Ivy that it's about this ghost singing about how she and her lover got killed. The house of stone can be interpreted as her gravestone, and the ivy can be the literal ivy growing on the gravestone.
Now that I think about it, it just fits in so perfectly!!
That's GORGEOUS. How do y'all come up with these theories😭galaxy brains
The old widow visits the dead but I'm mourning the living? This might be it
evermore (the song) is so deep it hits me so hard. Actually the whole album is a masterpiece definitely my favorite album
I love the wisdom in 'Closure' (and especially how it goes against 'conventional wisdom' that suggests people, women especially, ought not to 'hold grudges' and be 'bitter', like it's some kind of terrible or immature thing to know that you've experienced all you want to experience from a certain person/situation that hurt you, and to know that you don't want or need to be 'open' to that person/situation in order to heal or find some sense of peace). I've only just learned myself (within the past year or so) that I don't need this thing called "closure" - a concept that, I feel, keeps many people in unhappy situations, just waiting for the 'right' time to cut ties so that nothing is left unsaid. It's far healthier to create your own sense of "closure" and not rely on others to help you tie things up in a neat bow, because life doesn't really work that way and you need to be okay with that. Waiting around for the perfect ending can do you more harm than good. Yet another great lesson for Tay to impart upon her audience of mostly young women.
i always wait for your reaction and analysis. I feel like you really try to connect with them and that’s very amazing. Love your videos and always watch them all, they made my day better everytime.
taylor swift is the only singer where i love every era and every album
going to watch this after my work at 5PM. So beyond excited! I love your Taylor Swift reactions. you just understand the artistry behind her lyricism and it is so beautiful to watch an artist appreciating another artists poetry
I’ve been checking your page for this reaction for the last couple of days. I love your perspective and how you point out the poetic pieces of each song! I also learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!
Yes! I'm so glad you're here for 'Closure'! That one does not get enough love. I think my top picks are: Tolerate It, Marjorie and Gold Rush, with too many 'honorable mentions' to mention. It's difficult at this stage to say which album I prefer, Evermore or Folklore - I'll have to decide that in about a year or so, see which one I keep coming back to. I think I connect with a slightly higher number of songs on Folklore, but I love the sonic experimentation on Evermore. It's a sound closer to what I typically enjoy. I hope she never goes back to pop, honestly. I think her talents are wasted in that arena (though ofc I think she still makes great pop music). Really enjoyed your reaction, as always. Would love you see you explore Tori Amos' discography some time (or perhaps just Little Earthquakes, her first album, to see if you're into her lyricism and vibe). Thanks for getting this video out so quickly, and hope you have a great and relaxing time over the holiday period!
You are my favorite UA-camr right now, I can see you've been through a lot and songs like Tolerate It and Marjorie just hit me hard as well! Thanks you for doing this you're much appreciated!! 👑 👑
I LOVE ivy so much & I like to think that the person singing in tolerate it is also the person singing in ivy. I think that’s why I’m rooting for the couple in ivy because the song makes me feel like it’s the right path even though it’s starting with infidelity.
I really enjoyed watching you enjoing the songs as much as me. I even cry over your analysis of Tolerate it cause it is a song that I can relate to it but I haven't gave me the chance to let it fully sink in untill I saw your reaction. Thank you soooo much for doing this videos and for apreciete the lyrics as much as I do.
The long wait is overrrr 💖🥺💖
Cause you're one of my favorite TAYLOR SWIFT SONGS reactor swearrr 💖🥺💖
"You'd always go past where our feet could touch" I love this
Incredible reaction! I think nobody here dissects these lyrics as you are in reaction videos - especially on a Taylor Swift album/s. Now I appreciate it 100x cuz of that, cuz of you!
I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST
Your reactions are my FAVORITE because you focus on the lyricism and treat her like a poet. You listen to these songs like a true swiftie.
I love your reaction videos! They're so comforting and insightful.
I specifically looked up your reaction when this album came out because I loved your folklore reaction so much! Subscribed. ❤
Yayyy!! 👏👏👏 So glad you’re reacting to another Taylor album!! Her albums are so poetic, well Folklore & Evermore especially, I think it’s really fascinating watching a poetic listen to them rather then just a hardcore Taylor fan like myself. I just started the video but I’m already sure you’re gonna LOVE IT!!
I was soooo excited to see your reaction. I can honestly say your reaction videos to Taylor are my faves on this platform, it feels like I'm listening with a good friend 'cause I'm kind of a poet too (trying to) 💕 Also I love your vibe, you're so cool!
I will never get tired of your interpretations.
Love the video and your eyeshadow!
i love your reactions so much because you really tap into the poetry and beauty and emotion of her music. your poetic analyses is so beautiful and i would love to see your reaction/interpretation of her other music, especially lover (very eclectic and poetic) and 1989 - they both have so much romantic and heartbreaking imagery!!
I have been waiting for this video since the release day. Glad you liked it as much as I do. evermore is a great album and congrats to Taylor for making such an incredible body of work in a short amount of time!
This is my comfort video :3 watching this while painting. Just having you appreciate and explore Taylor's artistry is undoubtedly reassuring.
I was waiting for your reaction, I value your insight so much and you really make these videos special
I love your reactions :") your ability to unpack the lyrics & your interpretations really bring something different, providing another perspective
I always look forward to your reaction and interpretations! Thank you for doing what you do ❤️ Stay safe and healthy!
I love your videos and the way you break things down into perspective I always get emotional 😭💕 Taylor’s writing inspires me to be more detailed in mine
I'm so glad you reacted! I have been waiting for your reaction above anyone else's ❤❤
thankyou for reacting to this i’ve been waiting for your reaction!
You come across like such a thoughtful and intelligent person. Quite impressive. Have a Swift day.
You are the greatest at analysing the se lyrics!!! Keep it up
“Dorothea” goes with “Tis the damn season” “Dorothea” is from the mans pov and “ttds” is from the females perspective, she left town to pursue bigger dreams and left her young love in her small town but wants to rekindle it in “ttds”
you are such a queen. you analyzed every song so graciously amd cleverly. as much of a genius as Taylor.
Took me 21 hours to finish this... but I did. I got hooked a bit on assonance after that. I'm glad you enjoyed the album so intrinsically, especially during the last track and dorothea throughout. Hope your days are stable and well and that your channel keeps on growing. You deserve it!
Watching your reaction reviews really brightens my day. You have a beautiful smile
I am early. Thanks for this video 😊 i love your reactions, especially to her artwork.
omg so happy you liked it! i'm so excited for your react of HAIM!!! (you gonna love Women In Music Pt III)
I LOVE THAT YOU USED THOSE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THAT KIND OF LOVE THAT TAYLOR WRITES ABOUT IN ‘TOLERATE IT’ 😭
Honestly, a love that is so self-abandoning, because it is so giving, to be met only with nonchalance, indifference, a complete and utter lack of appreciation, and you summed it all up in a “rage.” It is the PERFECT word.
Yes I've been waiting for this 😩💞
You are the BEST person for reaction videos! Amazing!
I’m so excited to watch you break this down 💕
"When did your smile begin to look like a smirk?" A smirk is a kind of sarcastic or cynical smile. It's described as: to smile in an irritatingly smug and conceited way. Happiness is about someone letting go of their past and telling the person they loved to do the same. You are so right about this song mirroring what people who are divorcing might go through. There have been many comments like this being left on her Happiness video.
Omg I've been waiting for your reaction 😭
LOL I REALLY DON'T THINK CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS IS ABOUT ACTUAL CHAMPAGNE. It's a phrase that mimics 'first world problems', and in this song she's reflecting on how (in the eyes of everyone else), she had a good man propose to her, and even she herself couldn't give a 'legitimate' reason for why she couldn't say yes, except that it just wasn't right - and she only realized that in the moment that he proposed. To have a good man and throw him away, it's a 'champagne problem'.
It also kills me that the entire song and piano sounds so suppressed and reflective, like she doesn't feel like she has the right to be sad seeing as she's the one that ended it. I COULD GO ON ABOUT THIS SONG FOREVER
Yes all you're saying is 100% correct. However, in the second verse/pre-chorus, she says "Your sister splashed out on the bottle
, Now no one's celebrating" & "Dom Pérignon, you brought it
, No crowd of friends applauded", which suggests champagne problems on the literal levels too (as in you bought the champagne for the celebrations but I left you and nobody is celebrating now). The original meaning of champagne problems in the song is the 'first-world problems' meaning, but also she makes references to the literal meaning of CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS, which I believe is a great writing skill!
I think Sher knows what "champagne problems" means. She was just acknowledging the play on words when the song mentioned Don Perignon.
M still so confuse about "champagne problems" means the title m asking umm how can it be a minor problem?? M so mad right now plz someone tell me
@@rajuchaudhary4150 it’s from the perspective of other ppl, not the ppl involved in the breakup. She says “your hometown skeptics called it champagne problems”. As if she says: ppl think these are champagne problems, but no they’re not.
@@rajuchaudhary4150 she says other people in the town called it champagne problems - its first world for them that she had this great guy and just threw it away and this decision/problem is gold compared to the problems of others with poverty/depression things like that - however to everyone these problems are great seen in the song that her mind was really messed up in this but everyone else could only see the surface problem
Your videos are just simple & wonderful. You are a quality reactor & one of my favourite reactors of all time. Thanks for reacting Taylor's precious arts.
i was waiting your reactionnn! ❤❤❤❤❤
i love this space you’ve made on the internet cuz your comments are lit and I can’t wait to read your own poetry
I loved your reaction, as always! I've been listening to the album, and doing it again "with" you made me look at certain songs differently. For example "Closure" is a weird one, and I couldn't make peace with it. But now I think I understand.
Apparently the percussions are Kanye like, so the song is about him reaching out to Taylor (for his own personal need to smooth things over) and her being "nah, I don't need that". And I think the disharmony in the instrumentals is taylor way of saying that Kanye's behavior (aggressive and erratic percussions) put a stain on her peaceful life and her art (calm piano). But at the end, the percussions end. So that's her getting her own closure.
But going beyond the personal meaning for Taylor... An looking just at the lyrics an theme... This is a great song for people who were treated badly by someone, and society expects them to be the bigger person, to be zen about it, and grant forgiveness and closure. And it's like... Fuck no. I don't need to forgive you. I've made peace with my spite and my trauma, I've learned to be ok. Closure is something you need, and i have no obbligation to give that to you. For me it's really applicable in situations where a parent who has treated you badly, comes back for forgiveness. Or an abuser. Or an old friend who hurt you. It's such a specific emotion.
I love the way you wrote this. Exactly how I feel. Interesting about the Kanye connection!
@@sherthetruth the background noises in closure resembles a big machine breaking, a diss against her old label, big machine records. this track is also against scooter who owns the right to her first 6 albums which she isn't happy about
It's almost similar to I Forgot That You Existed. Like...I don't harbor any hate against you, but I'm not going to run around trying to be your friend again. I don't care what you think, and I don't need you in my life. I'm doing fine.
THE WAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING, I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SERVE
I think Dorothea and Tis the Damn Season are linked! Different perspectives. Great reaction as usual :)Yesss also for the closure appreciation!
I was waiting for thissss ❤️
Girly i have been waiting for your video 😃😃😃😃
your smile is so contagious. loved that reaction
Thank you for this long reaction and your own thoughts! Enjoyed it from start to finish and got more insight into the songs
OK, but can we all agree that "cowboy like me" and "long story short" are the ACEs of this album?! There's no way you wouldn't love these two!
Literally was waiting for your reaction 💙
I think tis the damn season is dorothea's perspective and Dorothea is the man's perspective. They are connected.
Yes!! Me too
dorothea is not from a man's pov .. shes talking about a childhood friend
@@valerie8679 read Taylor's statement, Dorothea is a girl who moved to LA to pursue her dreams and comes back to her hometown for the holidays and meets an old flame
@@cmalol ok youre right but even in that case it doesn't necessarily have to be from a man's pov 😭😭 .. there are no pronouns in the song
I thought it might be the name of her friend in the song Seven on folklore.This is later when there older.and Dorthea made something out if herself even though she had a bad life.And Taylor is still keeping up with her even though they haven't seen each other since they where 7 .I don't know. Maby?
Finally. I've been waiting for ur reaction :>>>>>>
I have been waiting for your reaction since it was released!!!
