What's going on? Everyone, welcome back to the channel. I'm Stephen, this is Stephen in stereo and in today's video we'll be looking at Taylor Swift's newly released

album

, the

tortured

poet's apartment. I'm very excited about this. I've been reacting to Taylor for several years. I'm having a lot of fun with these releases right now and even though I don't always re-record

reaction

s to the entire

album

because I'm so familiar with those albums whenever she releases something new or vault tracks or whatever, I'm absolutely there so I'm very excited for this album before we get the video today.

I just want to connect my patreon, all I can do is thanks to the people who support me there, so when the time comes. For Taylor Swift, for starters, there's a lot of content. If you're watching this right now, the full uncut album listening party is available on Patreon. I don't cut anything, we just improvised that album together, obviously, for YouTube. I have to cut a lot. more information on copyright and pacing, so I definitely suggest that if you appreciate those more intimate settings, definitely check out patreon. I have over 70 videos when it comes to Swift, so not just albums and album

reaction

s and all that kind of fun stuff, but I also did all kinds of tours.

I did the Arrow tour. I did the Red Tour or as a joint version. I did the 1989 tour. There's a lot of content there, so if you're interested, support. I, besides having access to all that, the links in the description, all the stuff out of the way, like this video, subscribe, follow me on Instagram and Twitter, let's do this, this is fortnite with Malone's post, ooh, it's Well, wait, I already love your bore. I know the synth gives me that 80s feel, I mean that Jack anof production mixed with that bit of that midnight 1989 feel and this is just a couple of seconds and I also love his voice here, we're going to be Okay, I'm going to close. up, what about your quiet treasures for a there we were forever what, oh my god, wait, wait, all my Monday, all my days are just Monday mornings in an endless February, something like that, I feel like that's what are we going to have?

A lot of this album is going to be lyrical, like poetry sandwiches, where we really have to try Cypher, so I hope by now he can do it, but I already love that whole line, right? obviously February is the worst month of all because that's when winter is the worst um so obviously on a Monday morning people normally hate Monday mornings obviously then you have this horrible weather forever in February and Harmony the miracle move on Dr. I took the miracle drug move and the effects were temporary for me, that feels like, uh, you know, normally, when you're in a relationship and then you fall off, you have to go to look for that rebound, that's the way you start to have On top of that, it's like as soon as you want to have that closeness with someone else it helps you realize that you can move on, but obviously it doesn't work, it doesn't work forever so this is Taylor singing about an adventure I mean it's a fortnite us.

If we were together for a couple of weeks, this is the life we ​​like to experience and share. I think I've talked about this on the channel before, but not all relationships are forever. Some things, others, sometimes they really are. I don't even know what word I just said sometimes it's really just a temporary moment um in the history of Our Lives to kill it I love you sounds oh yeah the two of them vocally this is something I've been I hope it's just them having a song together just because post Malone has some really cool moments in his voice and I feel like they both like working off the synth, so that's what I really love.

You have Jack Antonoff's production on this. you have the heavy 88 inspired synths when you have that and you have um like postone coming in with this range a little bit higher than what he normally sings and but you hear that bit of scraping and stuff coming in, you can feel something like that. how organic is it so good this is what I mean here like post Malone has so many ranges he can go with his voice um and just the styles of music that he makes like 80's plus like syn warship yeah another one for Ino, damn, wait a minute, listen to how beautiful and effortless it was for them to make that trans vocal transition right there, come on, that was so good, okay, so I didn't really know what to expect when it came to that I liked what it was.

It's going to be like this, obviously, I knew it was going to happen. I like what they did with this. I love it again. I'm a little biased because I have a huge soft spot for anything 80s inspired. I love synths and music, it's just beautiful. So I love this style so much, I think Taylor sounds amazing, that's why I'm a big fan of 1989, but also why Midnights was so good to me because I just love that style because of her, she's so amazing. I love Malone's later vocals. style he uses here I like that he is singing in that higher range.

I think I really don't know, I felt like I complimented Taylor a lot on this, they're both on such a high in their careers right now that I feel like this kind of collaboration feels right, it feels like the right time to do this and this is a song so awesome. To Do It, ultimately what I understand from this is that it sounds like Taylor is singing about a two, us throwing a fortnite at that person which is like helping you get through a situation you're in, although what it is interesting it is and I don't know if we're singing from different perspectives, but this song felt like What happened in that Fortnite that you really like?

I had very strong feelings for this person after that, maybe or it's really hard to determine that, oh my gosh, I'm a

tortured

poetry reader in this

department

, um, but that's what I am. I'm realizing I love the style of this. I think they said this is going to be like the lead single, so it's sick, we're putting the '80s New Wave emphasis on the map. I'm very happy to see it. a lot of artists use sound because it sounds so amazing and it's a great way to just set the mood for your life so this is the Tortured Poets Department which is really hard for me to say your comment directly.

Honestly, that's what you have to worry about. right, you have to worry about the typewriter that ends up in Taylor Swift's hands, turns out it comes from the Department of Tortured Poets, like everything we get from her comes from that damn typewriter, oh yeah, yeah, Patty SMI, this is not the modern Chelsea Hotel. idiots who I just love like Taylor gets older, it's fun to get older with her, not that we're not that far away in age, so just listening to her like you know how to use more in her songs like that May seem very petty to some, but I think which is also very difficult because, like you, she started very young, so I mean, she has such a wide range of audience that I actually imagine it's difficult to accept.

I'm going to do that or I'm going to sing about this or you know that reputation was like a big step, you know what I mean, so I just don't know little things like that, it seems so silly and insignificant, but I think it just paints a picture. broader of just growing up, you know, like growing up in music and growing up in life at the same time, with seven bars of chocolate, we declared that Charlie po should be a great artificer, well, that makes a lot more sense now because I saw this on Twitter that everyone was talking about this line from Charlie Poth because you know the album came out to people uh and I saw this line on Twitter and I thought about, you know, oh, I can't wait to see it in context and that makes me feel now Like they're there, they're getting high or at least one of them is eating a lot of chocolate, talk about Charlie po, you smoked them, I scratch your head, you fall asleep, Harmon like that gold, I scratch your head, you fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever, just listen, just listen to this 20 second production, like when the song starts to build and then drops into the section, it's so good, oh yeah, so good, idiots, I love that note, I can't.

Wait until you hear a live version of this because I want to hear everything she does with that note. Wait, I just feel like we're informed in a lot of ways because I feel like with Taylor you never really know if I feel like there was There was a moment in her discography as it went on where you could identify what those songs were about or who they were about, but then I feel like folklore and Evermore really changed that because that kind of songwriting from a storytelling perspective, started to exist in a much bigger focus in his career, not to say it hadn't always been there, but just in a more of a way. big, so now sometimes you have to decide if we're singing about you, if we're singing about a story but then she says things like here like something about Lucy and then I tell it to Jack and then he's like well, no This alone has a lot to do with my life, I would even like to remove the wall, you could see, yes, and I'll tell you.

Jack likes that we're not telling stories. I personally think that's great and I also think he adds that personality because at the end of the day you don't have to leave it up to interpretation. Sometimes I like that music can be interpreted and this. The song may mean something to you and I definitely have a sense of how I feel the song is, but I just like that you know that you have that like real names, we're saying names, you know it's real when you take the ring off your middle finger. and it's up to the people who are going to meet you to let the instrumental breathe there too, it really allows Taylor's voice to sound so good yeah, I think there are a lot of things similar to Reverb, you know what I mean?

We have so much atmosphere to live in. I've really learned that people either love Jack Antonoff's production or they don't really like Jack Antonov's production and that's fair, I mean everyone has their own opinion on these things. My opinion on it. In fact, I'm a big fan of his. Leave a lot of room in the Music you really like add the reverb, add the delay. He really likes to spend a lot of time with it and use real, true instruments, and that sound is incredible and I love the warmth that all of his music has, but at the same time.

I feel like the 80's sound that he has the feeling of using the soundscapes that he uses in everything he produces sounds so good, so on this song again hear him sound amazing and Taylor sounds so good with Jack. I love it, okay, this next song is my son just breaks his favorite toys bought in the okay, look, this is the I love it, like again, 80s love, synth love and the song we've been in These situations, unfortunately, some of us have where you. You end up in a relationship where someone treats you like you're the best thing in the world, they almost put you on a pedestal, they like to give you all this love, but then it almost seems like they break you down into nothing and it's only because they love you. that old saying like "oh he's only mean to you because he likes you" that's not the way we should be teaching people how to decide if people like you or not i'm the queen of sand castles he literally destroys I'm amazing at building these amazing dreams and ruling this castle of love that we're going to have in these fantasies, but that's my boy, he's going to destroy too that just breaks his, oh yeah, that whole vocal voice. there listen, it fits perfectly with this beat, I know I'm Str and I'll tell you he's there, like I feel it, there's a lot going on in my brain right now, there's drums playing and these crazy people. patterns himself, oh yeah, that's going to be my theme, she still knows how to deliver a great time like this.

I feel like every song she's done well, that's a stretch because that would imply that every song, but I would say, a large percentage of the songs she's done there's always some kind of anthemic moment, there's always some kind of great piece. where all the energy comes to life or like all the pieces together and that's this right here, destroy oh my Bo just breaks once I fix myself he's going to miss me this is what happens, we end up in these relationships we give so much of we ourselves are broken and then we get lost in that and that just becomes us, but it's like that moment where we can finally look in the mirror and see what's wrong and make those adjustments to get out of it.

You're right, they will miss you because they destroy you to support you. He took me out. of my stole, my tortured heart left all these guys broken, I don't know what inspired this moment for her in this song, but she means everything like you can feel it like I feel like that's a lot right there. She told me that I'm not enough like I'm not that I'm not better I don't feel better I'm not enough I'm just not going to be enough to make me feel enough to make this happen I feel good to feel better.

I'm not going to be better and I think that's very difficult in this because at the end of the day we look at this situation in this and obviously the person in this shouldn't be. In this situation, you don't want to be in a relationship whereThey constantly tear you down to stay because it's just a fantasy on a facade. It's these sandcastles and like you said, you're the queen of owning this part of your life that doesn't really exist but you build it in your head with someone you can be with. It's like they don't want that. you but at the same time they don't want you to be happy so they have to break those fantasies that you also have and then you think that you are going to be better you think that you will be enough but you are not and then you are in that situation.

I really love his interpretation of the song. I mean, at this point, what can you expect. I know she's GNA, but she feels so anthemic and I think that's something I really loved. About the 1989 album anyway, I like those '80s synth pop moments to have big anthemic moments and she really does that here too, so you know it's a sad song from the beginning to the end, the end It is extremely sad. but it's upbeat like it's me, that's why I love the synth so much, man you can make the world with it, okay this next track is wrong, well I love it, where do I come from for a moment?

I met cosic now I'm crying in the gym oh it's all out of the teen package. So this is what I love about the growth of his music, it's like the personality, um, has always stayed so real to me, but I feel like it gets more real over time, and I mean. that in the personality that she puts into her lyrics while listening to this it sounds like something that happened to you you sat in front of a gym in your car being as depressed as you have been I've been there, but I like that she has the ability of giving us a folk style that gives us this crazy world-building moment, but then also gives us this real, bad style where it's just us, like we're just talking to each other. the down Waking Up In Blood looking at the comeback and pick me up oh I love that Cadence right there, fuck me.

I'm so sick I could get up St. It also makes me feel better that Taylor Swift feels the same way we like her sometimes. Are you kidding? I've felt that way about people. I've felt like this in a situation in a relationship and then I feel like it's the end of the world and you actually sit in the parking lot and be nice. of crying thinking that I don't care if I ever get up again and it's crazy because you move on a few weeks later and it's like I can't believe how I felt in that moment man, that seems like now they'll say that I'm crazy if I talk of, oh man, his loud voice in the back, fuck, I'm so good, it's also so vibrant and I feel like there's some kind of moment where you like to live in this piece when you're down when you're this down when You are at your lowest point.

I feel like it's that moment that I like. I haven't been to that place in a long time, but I like Suk at that moment. Sometimes I get. the melodies and experiencing that piece that I'm living in and somehow I feel like I'm getting that vibe from Taylor based on the vibe of the song, where it's almost like I'm just going to accept this vibe because if I can't have you, this one will be kind of an experience anyway. I will build you a fort on some planet where everyone can D friend, I say this like her, whatever the inspiration. it means there's a difference between playing the song and playing the emotion, woo, crying in the G, everything, fuck, I can't, as much as, uh, I feel like there's so much wind effect throughout this, it's actually really sickly.

I'm sure that's not even what it is, it's just what I hear. I love this song because I feel like we've all been here and that's how I feel about this album in general, is that Taylor just reminds us that she hello. a human being too and where you have been I have been there too. I feel like Taylor has always given us a life experience in her writing anyway, which I've always really liked, but I really enjoy that kind of stuff even more. personality that she is giving us in our writings. I feel like that's the benefit of going more for the tortured poet feel where she almost feels like you're like you don't know you are. like the emo kid in high school, okay, maybe we've all been there, and you have this way with your words and you have this way of being able to write and sing about what you're going through and it's really cool to hear.

I don't know Taylor does that that well, especially on a track like this. I just think it sounds amazing too. Okay, it's track five. I mean, we know what that means, so this is so long. London Cal Reverb on her voice. oh, stop trying to make him laugh, stop trying to punch the safe that gives me that kind of vibe, stop trying to do anything to break down his wall, like he's obviously hiding something or he's like locked up and maybe you should do it. I've given up trying to take him to Spill the Beans, mate, oh find a house next to Heath.

I stopped CPR after anyone else. I stopped CPR, it didn't help, the spirit was gone, I would never get to the relationship it was dead, we couldn't resuscitate anything, we were just. clinging to nothing angry you let me give away all that youth for free okay I have at least an idea what this is about and that's true I mean all the things you give up in relationships um I feel like when I look at the long term relationships that didn't work out and look at when they happened and how much of that life you don't get back, the best thing you can do is boil it down to now that you have some life experience because otherwise it's really bleak to see it any other way, so long, Lon.

Oh my goodness, your delivery is everything. I love that kind of emotional tension you feel there. There's so much going on there that I feel like I have to stop. It's to like what this whole first part is, I'm like I'm going down with the ship, our dying relationship, I'm holding on white knuckles, squeezing this as tight as I can, holding on to your silent resentment, what It's every day. I love every breath, I think about going to sacrifice ourselves to the gods of your bluest days. You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days.

Now I don't know, as you know, I don't know much about his personal relationships and that's nice. By the way, like I know the relationship, I know some of the relationship she's been in and stuff, but I try to learn just through the lyrics of the music, not what other people say about him, and in this to me that sounds sad is what I separated her from her long term relationship it seems like at the end of the day that person couldn't decide if she could really stay there if she wanted to stay there because she seemed to struggle with her own demons which I personally understand totally, but at the same time, just because you're struggling with those things doesn't make it okay to have collateral damage and that's what Taylor is singing about here is that maybe she was collateral damage in that and it was a relationship that she really wanted. and I fucking love it, but that's not who I'm talking about.

I think Department of Tortured Poets really is like an amazing album title for this album because she's really diving into her feelings on this and this is something that's nothing new, but I feel like Taylor has given us a different side of vulnerability. because I feel like instead of just giving us speculation and exposing situations that may or may not belong to her, I feel like we're becoming like that. A different kind of view of these things is almost like the perspective that I'm reading journal entries or like I'm witnessing fights that you're going through. I feel like I'm witnessing information that I shouldn't be privy to in order to know what I'm getting into.

I mean, that's how it feels, that's how intimate it feels and I feel like it has to be a very difficult challenge to write the song, to make those lyrics poetic the way you want them, but still keep them personal and find a way to turn that into a catchy song and that's all demonstrated so perfectly on this track uh see you later London uh live on a track five just finesse and I'm gonna explain why the pain. What you feel in Taylor's voice is exactly what I expect from a track five. She's hurt, she meant every word of this.

She feels everything about this. She's so like she's so involved in this and and I feel like this is her therapeutic session. kind of work away from that and you can feel the pain and I feel like that delivery hurts as a fan hurts as a music listener so you know what it hurts to be Taylor and she's so good at capturing that ah, okay, but daddy. I love it, oh, it's easily one of my favorite vocal styles of hers, but everyone already knows that, oh man, they wrote that chorus so well. And I mean that in the sense that Taylor wrote great lyrics for this and I feel like it's Aaron and Jack in this and I feel like they just wrote that instrumental to feed that chorus in the best way that, like a snare, like a snap, it sounds as good as a remedy, soon the biggest ConEd in the city H the words we never heard just reaching for bonds of true love and with my dress that is such a good melody, come on, what not, don't you come to my senses, crazy, but he, such a great song, this could have been, oh my god, wait, wait a minute.

I can't tell if we're telling a story or if these are all metaphors for Taylor's life because she doesn't feel like she fell in love with someone that maybe her parents didn't approve of or maybe the rest of the people In Internet? Maybe people wouldn't approve and she's here saying: I don't want to hear these complaints and moans. I don't want to sit here and have to get up and fight for all these things that I want. I don't come to my senses I'm not doing anything crazy I just love this person I want to be with this person and you might like to feel that in this chorus too again a solid production critics critics who say they want the best for me S but oh god sanctimonious performing soliloquies I'll never see why you do this to me Taylor my poor brain to me it's just my noise it's just my choice they're still it's over Dr.

Sun even my dad just loves him I know he's crazy but he's the one I feel like I have gobs to me SC Dad, what the hell am I not? No, I'm not you. I have to say this has been a great time to be a Taylor fan because I feel like we're really seeing her. stop caring so much and I like, and I mean this in the best way, I mean, I feel like she's just letting us in more in the sense that she doesn't care about the fact that she was at Coachella anymore and she likes to just live it.

The Best Life is sick and it seems so silly that you would even care, but I feel like there's a lot of her career where she was just mysterious in a way, not as mysterious as if we'd never seen her, but like me, I just feel . like I don't know, I feel like the personality shines through the music in a completely different way now, if that makes a lot of sense, if that makes any sense, I feel like you know before, like her, when she was writing songs, they had a wide like Target and I guess all of these songs really have a wide spectrum of similar sounds and similar lyrical content.

I guess you'd like to find what you love about Taylor in all of these songs, but I feel like when I look at the evolutionary part, I feel like she's almost like she let the walls down a little bit and let us in, like she removed the locks, it was Like okay, come into my personal life. I feel like that really started with folklore even though that was storytelling and world building. I feel like the personality and the more intimate lyrics and the more vulnerable lyrics really started to move forward and I feel like now where we are, I'm talking about this.

It's an absolutely explosive song and it also feels like there's a lot of life in it. I feel like this song existed in a world of its own for five minutes and 40 seconds, that's great to me, the music is the best. in the world I'll die on that hill, alright, fresh out of The Slammer, fresh out of The Slammer, my bad, uhoh, hey, that's true love underneath, he don't get mad and he's blue and the fights and the tunnels They are handcuffed to the spell he was under. I get it, The Slammer The Slammer is like the jail sale of this person's love, at least that's how it feels.

Judging from what we're hearing so far, there are times when I think I'm not saying anything. because I'm really trying to pay attention and sometimes, especially again, as Taylor evolves as an artist, her music gets harder to understand the first time I listen to it, oh yeah, look, that's interesting too because it sounds like Fresh Out The Slammer I'm on. In this relationship, I'm kind of locked in love right now, but maybe when it's over, I'll meet the first person I'll call when I'm free of this, oh that's the other thing, like you just heard that.

I said in my letters like, basically I've learned now that I can't ever do this again, uh, that, so okay, we had this closeness, then I went and got into this relationship and then I didn't want to be. in this because I kept thinking about you, so now that it's over, I learned my lesson and I would never go back to that, oh, that porch like the one that says swings, friend, she is. I feel like I like writing sessions, well. I feel like it's just her mind at any time we've seen, like making records and stuff.things, you see how her mind works with music, so I get really excited when I hear certain things she does in music, like the whole mood.

I guess not even the mood change, but the intensification of the mood that happened at the end of the song, it's one of those things that I love so much about Taylor and her ability to do the ability to just grab your attention throughout the whole song and then also draw your emotions at the end to another part of this and I feel we all can say that this song is like an ode to someone you fall in love with when you are young and maybe you are too young to be together at that time or maybe you are always with someone whatever it is but you always feel that that's her person and then maybe they have her, maybe they don't, but then you get into these other relationships and it seems to her like this is almost like a prison sentence, but then when she gets out she knows exactly who she's going to call, the person who I should have been with all along, something you know, when they were young they just played with imaginary rings and stuff not knowing that at some point maybe they could be sharing that life together, so I love it, it sounds amazing , man, I just love that change of mood at that moment. finishing like that requires a level of skill to be able to do it right, this is Florida, ah, with Florence and the Machine, oh weab, I feel like that really is like getting old, you either like yourself or you like your friends, friends, um, them. they smell like weed or not necessarily weed metaphor for just going out to party they smell like life they just go out and live at that moment you have friends the same age who took the other path or maybe they are also doing the same thing but you have those who take the age they're having kids now and stuff.

I definitely feel like I'm also at that age where I'm starting to see that I have friends who have whole families, now it's crazy, I'm crazy too. little danger oh, everyone in Destin right now is like drunk from a hurricane with my name when it came like this, come on, Florence Welch is so good, so much power, I'm tormented but I feel good. This song has a lot. I like it, it's just giving me such strong Lana vibes. I feel like she's been there too. You know your house, they just arrest you, so you go back with your life just to wait.

Can I use you flowery? That's my favorite song on this album. It's incredible, honestly, the metaphor I have no idea about the lyrics of the song. I tried to decipher it. The only thing I can think of is that you compare it to this idea of ​​just escaping everything and going to Florida, which people seem to do and it seems like you're trying to leave your life behind, all the things you did before, and you move to Florida. you get away from everything there is and also there's this kind of tradition around Florida where it's like a lawless atmosphere, but because the Florida man jokes and I feel like there's something like I feel like this song is like language and Chic about that, I have to say the delivery of this is everything for me.

I could listen to the song over and over again. Taylor sounds absolutely amazing if it's not Lana's voice or a sample of something or whatever I'm going to be. I'm surprised, but if that's Taylor, I'm excited because she sounds like that, I love that sound. Florence Welch is absolutely amazing. She dominates in the most amazing way when it comes to this sound and I feel like her and Taylor on a song were so powerful, it's something that I don't think I ever really anticipated what it would be like, but we've just seen so many Taylor covers now that we've seen so many.

Taylor covers you really don't know what to expect when it comes to what she wants to do with GNA with a collaboration, you know, she could, you know, take it a completely different way, but I'm glad this song was so anthemic and big as it had to be with Florence Welch. It sounds incredible and Taylor just brought incredible energy, as sickeningly guilty as Sin. Can I cry? I dream of picking locks in M ​​or, wise man, what would happen if I wrote M on the top of my thigh? Just in my mind we never screwed it up. kiss I AR without hisin can I be guilty like h?

I'm trying to pay attention to the lyrics here, this is really interesting because it sounds to me like you know I feel like she's saying how guilty she is but it makes me feel like when she says she didn't touch her skin I think about cheating right away, that is probably what the song is about, but I like it because it's from the point of view that I didn't physically cheat, but actually I would say physically cheating on someone is probably better than emotionally cheating on someone, correct me if I'm wrong , but I feel like I don't know personally if the person I was with told someone else that they loved them or wanted to share those inside jokes with each other.

Personally, I would have preferred to be physically cheated on before that, so that's what makes me realize this. I could be wrong. I'm probably always wrong. Tob breathes, I see, that's what's good. It's hard. I mean, if you're fantasizing about someone else and here's the thing, I think you can't help what your brain does sometimes, we all understand that right thoughts are just thoughts, but when you're in them, that's one thing, but if they're like constantly thinking about this, in my opinion, like you're probably distancing yourself from the relationship you're in anyway because you're living in a fantasy in your head, what if my B saw the place where I yelled his name? like W crashing on my grave without even touching her skin, how can I?

I don't know how descriptive she is. I know they're just thoughts, but there's still something there anyway. Right, what if the way you hug me is actually how holy if? What they want from me is the correction they have suffered, they don't know how you have persecuted me in such an amazing way. I choose you and wait, wait, I feel like we have to unpack, it's her speaking to us and by we I don't mean us, but is she somehow implying with this notion that maybe people want this kind of lasting sadness with someone because when Taylor is sad music comes out, you know, this is the theory here, um, and I've heard this over and over again?

I've talked about this band many times, Bayside's favorite band, but they've had songs about this, the singer Anthony tried to get out of depression, you know, moved on, had a relationship and stuff, and it's like it doesn't stick to me. allowed it to be. happy because now people don't want to listen to my music, record labels are giving me a hard time because I don't write sad songs anymore, so I like it. I understand it at the top. Li craves AR, dude, I wonder, so no. I don't know if those letters were really directed. I think it means just people as a whole while you're working on this relationship and in this song she feels like she's someone she's really been. for a long time with someone I had fantasized about for a long time, at least that's what I mean, I'm remembering things we haven't done like she obviously cared a lot about this person and I don't know if they ever got together or if they did and didn't It worked, I don't know, but I feel like this is guilty, it's like the world never knows how much I already like sharing with you in my Don't worry because I've had this for you for so long, so the delivery of this is amazing, that whole last section where she pulled out an Acappella second before that like or that Acappella moment before the instrumental came back was top notch, who's afraid? of my little one, the who's who, whose ready to attack, but I'm paved, don't tell me about sad, oh, this will be my favorite Taylor Swift album because I already feel like I'm being drawn to this sound in its entirety , it's almost like it's an extension of folklore in a way that I really appreciate, it's like folklore Evermore at midnight came up with an idea together about what kind of music they could put out and I'm getting that kind of lyrical content with that kind of sound, you know, that folk sound makes me feel more alive.

Oh yeah, come on, you know this song is going to be all over social media, it's going to be that section. everyone's going to be making Tik toks for that oh you can feel the tension in this song then we could all just laugh until I cry so IAP from the beginning I was gentle with life CLE made me say I was tamed and gentle until life in the circus made me say hey, I was calm when I got into this, you did this to me, your influence, your power, everything that is that I have been around everything that I have had to see and experience because to this has made me what Now I'm her teeth, well you should be, you should be, should be, this is really something she can sing about now because you should be afraid because Taylor, it's not just me, now the little one Taylor's got us all on her back, right?

We're all there defending Taylor, but at the same time I want to say she's a billionaire right now, she has more power, she has the kind of power that can change legislation, you've literally seen it, so I feel like I think a lot of people I should be afraid that my little self will be drunk again and they will put me in all my songs and that's why tell Taylor, if you think about it, it's true, like being in a celebrity, being in the spotlight, that Taylor is um this. The whole world is painted on you and she's metaphorically comparing it to that house at the end of the street that the lady lives in, that's sad and scary and you can't go to the garden and all these things and all these things are painted on you and and they essentially tell you your life from a completely different perspective, but you're built into this monster and it's like who's little afraid of me, like it's just me, like I'm doing this.

You know it, but then you know that maybe you should say maybe I have the power to do that took out all his teeth who Afra a little who you should be you should be she sounds so good on this album friend this is like it's a call that's afraid from my little friend she has uh oh I just had to hear that fade away a little she has like she had me holding on to this in the most beautiful way this song there is so much tension in this this song I feel like it's a kind of broad message I feel like it's a called is who wants a piece like who's with me like who wants to find out and I feel like it's an important thing because society I mean Taylor just growing up she spent more than half her life at this point being a celebrity so people will do narratives about you, they will write this world about you, they will say everything about you, they will want to tear you down.

I will want to do all these things and write you to be this monster just because of the power that you have. That's the only reason they do it at the end of the day. Who's afraid to leave me a little? All the people who can. I can't help but constantly try to tear down Taylor Swift. She is crazy to me. This applies to anyone like me. I watch Stan Twitter and things I see like how people talk about artists they don't like or artists that are in a similar category to their artists or worse yet just two artists and they just decide I only like one , I can't stand each other and they just criticize them and you read all this stuff and it's crazy, but then you read you listen to what she's saying here and it makes sense, what's the threat, why is everyone coming after me and trying to see all these things, what exactly I am asking you and why you are so worried. so I personally like this because I like that it's just a call, it's kind of like, hey, you need to acknowledge how you feel and then also tell me why you're afraid of me.

This is, I can fix it, no, I really can, he harassed, they were rolling and too loud, they shook their heads, goths. Tall, his hand so numb from his gun, soft strokes of hearts on my face, they courted and I could see it from a mile away, perfect. for my SK set I can and only I can good boy that's right come closer I'll show you and but I love it you know why it's giving me fake god vibes which is my favorite Lover song and possibly a of my favorites. Taylor Swift songs, but something about the emotion in that song is like the kind of passion I feel, here too everyone trusts me, I can handle myself, a dangerous man, no, I really can, a good man, I didn't need to touch, I can . fix and no I really can't I really can't oh maybe I can't I love the end of that whoa maybe I can't I like this because you can feel this kind of sense of danger and also again like with a In a lot of these songs there's also tension in this song and I love that because it really paints this kind of picture of Outlaw and you feel like you're in the wild west for a minute, so I love the production and just Taylor's delivery. these voices to make me feel that way and I just love in the end again more of that personality more of that just like removing the barrier and just being a human being you know, I'm just Taylor Swift, the person who sings about this. stuff and I love it because it breaks the whoa maybe I can't little moments like that in the production make it feel so much more real, especially because this album is going to be so big.

It's great to see an album so big and then so personal. Thisnext song is LL. I am simply the love of my life. Maybe it was. sewing we were just kids baby I said I don't care it takes time never before and never if you know it at a glance it's legendary oh my god dude his vocal delivery like this gives me a little like uh he was just a lover um those kind of sounds, but I love it when she gets so emotional like that, I know it's you and I went from a kiss to getting married, still alive, killing time and from the Holy Spirit, you, me, me, from you, when your impression of the paintings of Heaven turned out be false.

He took me to hell and it's all in the ink, it's never true. I mean, you know, they say you only fall in love once and I don't know if that's true or not. But if that's true, then it explains what Taylor is doing. through the song like when you feel something that is so powerful and so strong, this magnetic force that you have with someone, this power that overcomes you and then like it's not there. As you like? You can never replace that. Once again, what you're chasing is so high that you'll never have it again and you're going to compare every relationship you ever experience to that one because of how important that moment was when you're still alive, kill Mr.

Steal. Your girl then makes her cry she said I'm the love of your life remember how we almost had it all my heart hurts I just want you to know that I'm not talking much because my heart hurts because it's like one thing I like to hear it in a song, It's one thing to read it in a letter, another thing is to hear the pain, the reality, the truth, you talked to me under the table, talking about wedding rings and cribs, like you, this girl wanted it all. of this from you and you ruined it and you like to destroy like you can feel the pain oh friend like C dead I can't get out of bed because something fake is dead I'm ashamed or I have to feel ashamed because I can't get out of bed because The relationship that I had to pretend or I had to pretend that it was more than it was or that it was something that it wasn't is over and now I only have depression because essentially the sand castle that I built that he destroyed legendary like she said a coward one cow wait I have to listen to that again oh my god holy the cinematic theatrics that just came out at the end of that song is incredible.

I have many feelings. I'm going through this right now, oh my gosh, I feel like it's different when you know it's real, like it's different when it's a song that's coming from a place that's so real and all this time listening. to Taylor Just describe how important this was and then how it started to fall apart and how it all ended the way it did so that in the end Taylor realizes that you are the loss of my life that she is going to suffer. It will be the biggest loss I have ever had to endure because you were the love of my life and now you are no more and we have to live with those emotions when this happens to us and I feel like it is more than just having to do it.

I live with them and again I love therapeutic release, but Taylor feels it in that and I love that she's so good at channeling her emotions like it has to be so cathartic to be able to get all of this out the way she does. I can do it with a broken heart lights camera smile okay Taylor until you make it and I did lights camera smile even when you want to die smile even when you want to die I was just going to say before I got to those lines I was I'm going to say: Do you love how this song is so sad and it just fell into this upbeat rhythm like it knew we were going somewhere?

I cry a lot, but I am, so I feel so bad because a lot of people are going to relate. For this song, I've heard her do that more or less as a vocal cadence or melody style several times since folklore and I'm a big fan of ity and broke, I'm so depressed that I act like it's her birthday. It's a B, I mean, that's how you really know you're good, I feel like anyone who feels like they're also part of the tortured

poets

department

and I'd say we're the ones who have a lot of feelings, right? fighting inside, okay, we have a lot of emotions, bro, but we get really good at this, really good at masking and being able to do almost anything with a broken heart, being able to smile even though we're dying inside. and crying inside because we're good at hiding it, my job, oh yeah, and I'd just like to say that that's the best version of Like Tongue and Chek I've seen in a long time because the song sounds hyper pop. optimistic, super sad, right, it's optimistic, but it's super sad lyrically on purpose, the idea is that I can do it with a broken heart.

I get to make these super upbeat, fun pop songs even though I'm dying inside and I think that's the best. Statement of this song I think it just shows that sometimes you have to be able to cover her and hold her even if it hurts inside again, with her tongue and her cheek, she says she can do this, the point is she's struggling, there shouldn't be made. To do it this way, okay, the smallest man who ever lived was that guy. He tried to buy pills from a friend of my friends. They just ghost. If rusting my bright summer was the goal.

If rusting my bright summer was the goal. At least I can speculate. what could this be about message Liv, you posted me on your wall, okay I love this and I know you guys are friends. When she says Oblivion right here, she sounds like Phoebe Bridges and I'm here for it. Very much, um, this seems so unresolved when it was written, if you know what I mean, when you feel some kind of pain that I feel like I'm hearing, it feels like when this song was written, this was a very unresolved feeling for her. and you can just again I'm just going to use it a lot there's a lot of tension in this album I don't know for someone who wanted me dead you slept with a gun under our B you were in a book you, it wasn't sex, it wasn't forbidden, I would have died for your sins in what is so much, how can you leave so many lyrics and expect us to continue listening without even talking about any of this?

I mean, the smallest man who ever lived is an understatement. Taylor is putting this person above everything. You can tell that whatever this meant a lot to her and whatever this person did to her, I mean, you can feel the pain is so, oh. Oh my god, I love a big moment like this isn't sex, he, I don't know who it is, I'm not going to say, but I would have died for your sins, I just died inside, almost like I'm saying I don't care world view I don't care what people think I don't care how people view our relationship I don't care about any of those things I'm willing to die for it for you because I care so much So much so that there's a lot of pain here, uh, view of the car, head, but you are what you did and I will forget you, but I will, friend.

I mean, at the end of the day, it's just Pro that men are scum and I'll gladly say it. forever because someone did that to Taylor Swift, the point is that no one is safe from men, like what is their intensity in this song. Everything to me, that emotion, his connection to this, his feeling again, that raw absolute anger and it's not even alone. angry about what happened obviously she understands what happened but she can't understand how you deceived her so much she can't understand how you conquered her and were able to manipulate her and she hopes that when they declassify it in 50 years because she had to be a spy because there is no way that you just walked in and then changed your tone like that and treated her the way you may or may not have, but she was able to deliver it the way what she does is the whole beauty of Taylor Swift, people can say they don't.

They understand, okay, you don't like your music, of course, when you listen to it, although you understand why people love it, because you listen to it like you do. Hear her heart connected directly to your ears at that moment. She is having a cathartic release in this song and we have all experienced it. This is Alchemy. This happens once every few lifetimes. What if I told you that I'm back? The hospital was a pain. The worst dream I've ever had. I cited you on a map. I haven't been back in a long time. The baby crown.

I'm the one who will be in your still image for me, honestly, who we will fight Aly with. Perfect use of synthesizers. all I want to say, you know, okay, when you hear a song in this style, you know she's going to be good at her part because she masters this style. I feel like from the beginning, especially like Fearless, I feel like the Fearless album has a lot of songs that are similar, I wouldn't say they sound similar sonically just in the way they're constructed with the way this chorus comes in. I feel like we've heard a similar style of writing before and I like it. that because she excels at this, this is a big important chorus that I feel like sometimes goes on longer than the verse, it's sick, she falls into it so well, the SEE we've been on winning street, she jokes that she's heroin , but this time we. ' been and your friends lift you over their heads, slam you on the ground, cheers are sung because they said there was no chance of trying to be the best yet Book me, this should be everyone's wedding song, let's go to the pews in which we have been in a winning Street out this happens she is drunk with love that's all she says look at the end of the day that will be everyone's wedding song that will be the song because it's true you can't fight Alchemy when you feel so attracted to someone when you have that chemistry, the magic is brewing, that love potion is real, you are so attached to that person and I mean there are enough references here, I personally feel that this is probably about your current relationship , judging that she is talking about being the best in the league. for the trophy, but you don't run for the trophy, you run straight at me.

I'm just saying we all witnessed that, but I love her great songs. I like them whenever she has a great song that sounds theatrical. it feels really big it has this ballad feel you feel those synths coming you feel all that kind of breath coming into the song it's absolutely incredible the saddest part of the night um aside from LL or the smallest man who ever lived this is the last one song, uh, Clara Bo Glory, promise that everything will look like this. I think this is really great from Taylor. I don't know if there is another meaning behind this song.

I'm sure you guys will tell me, but you know how. Do this for the first time, listen to it, it's my experience, the song and I feel like this song is giving me some kind of inspiration, it's almost like Taylor is saying, hey, no one said I could do it, like no one thought I was going to see Manhattan, no one thought it would. being at The Reunion all these suits no one thought they could do it the point is you can't let someone take away your shine or in one case he said you have to be stunning yeah you don't want someone to take that away from you and possibly take your shine off opportunity to change your entire life and follow your dreams of being asleep.

The crown is stained, but you are the true queen. Heaven, it's hell on Earth to be Heavenly I can't wait for that tattoo everywhere I don't know if it's Taylor I don't know if it's like a poem or something I'm not that cultured but that's sick come get Edge she never made the futes brightz dude yeah so I get exactly what I thought of this song, which is that it's almost an inspirational thing, like you can do this too, you can be next and I love that because she really is. at the top of the top and for you to be able to spread that message and promote that positivity, she's always been the reason we resonate with Taylor Swift, it's not just because of the music, I think people get it wrong like that all the time. time you resonate with Taylor Swift because she's relatable and I feel like even though she's been a star for so long, she comes from very humble backgrounds and backgrounds and to see her story and hear her story and see all those things together, it's a very message. inspiring of her because she lives that inspiration and a lot of people, not just girls, but a lot of people admire her for many reasons, whether it's style, fashion, business, songwriting, production, I love her from a musical point of view, I just look at her .

Playing instruments is amazing, so she writes that inspiring message. I think it's such a beautiful way to end this album. It's very early, we just listened to it, but I remember how I felt when I heard Folklore for the first time. and I'm getting that vibe from this record again, it's like it's really late at this point and I'm going to stay up and edit this video, but I'm going to keep listening to this record and like I'm really looking forward to it right now, I want to relive these songs because I think we have a part of Taylor that comes from a long time ago, but I feel the evolution of Taylor and what she's been through.

In recent years, everything materializes on this album. I feel like there's a lot of pain in this and not only are you going to experience the lyrics of that, but you're going to feel it while I think she does a great job of showing it lyrically. I feel like this is actually a record that was a lot easier to understand than some of the others where Sometimes I'm really pulling out the sorus to try to figure out what each of these words means. I feel like I could follow these stories a little better, although I'm sure I'm wrong, but there's a lot of heartache and a lot of sadness in this and you really feel it.

I feel like Taylor really does a good job.channeling that emotion into this and that's why I really want to listen a second time because I want that emotion that I want to feel. that about these amazing instruments, but I just want to feel those moments where she likes the vocals high and then she changes the song and gives us a different cadence on the vocals and then we get to the moments like I mean. Honestly, LL and the smallest man who ever lived, which I think are probably the biggest emotional tension points on this record where I feel like listening to those songs that you really know without even knowing the stories, you know how she feels and I think that requires There is a lot of power to do and she did it here, the writing styles.

I love the personality of this album. I love that we are. You know, it's little things. She says a lot on this album. And I know she maybe she doesn't look like it. It's a big deal, it seems silly to even comment on it, but she's getting older and we're all GR growing up with her, myself included, we're really close and I feel like when I hear these lyrics it makes sense. his perspective of where he is in life now and how he talks about the things he's been through and I love that he lifted the veil a little bit and made it even more personal and easier to understand so we can really go through those stuff with her again, I love the cathartic release and the fact that she's using these songs as therapy to help her get through these things and you can hear it in each of these songs.

I mean, she really went through a lot. with that it sounds like there are multiple relationships in this um, I love it and especially with a song or an album titled like Department of Tortured Poets because I feel like there's a lot of stuff to that one, it sounds like Like we heard it in Department of Tortured Poets, that It's a group that she had with someone suitable and that was important to them, but also if you think about it while listening to this album and while listening to the lyrics. and stuff, it really is these songs and it's like you're tortured and you're sitting with your typewriter writing these songs and writing all these ways that you feel and this whole life that you're going to experience through and I'm so glad to that everything worked the way it did on this album.

I feel like this is going to be so good. I feel like it's going to be as big as Monumental for her. I felt like that. folklore too I feel like I reacted to Folklore and I knew I came out of the end of that video and thought she did something really big here, I think this is bigger than just liking this record and I really feel that way right now, so I call it that, I think this is going to be a huge moment for her because everything lines up perfectly, you know, she's already like killing the world right now, she's killing it with the AOS swore she's killing it.

On all fronts, she has an amazing relationship, all this interesting stuff, right, but I don't even think she's at her musical peak yet, I mean, we're still seeing someone pushing the boundaries of their own creative work over and over again. and no matter what. The Internet tells you about the style you know of people and how they sound and who they deal with and all that stuff. Everyone needs to realize that music is about being inspired by everyone around you, the music around you, your friends, all those things and putting those things together, we're talking about an artist who has released an expansive collection of work. right now and I feel like he's experimented even more with his music.

This is an absolutely incredible album and surprisingly it is very sad but has many optimistic moments. I feel like the pacing is high in a lot of this, but even the Ballance, even the sad ones that were really putting a knife in my heart, I couldn't look away, I just needed to. Keep watching it because I just wanted to feel those same emotions. Honestly, Taylor Swift will never see this and that's okay, although I'm really proud of her because I feel like when you get to the top it has to be really hard. because every move you make is in a magnifying glass and I say that happens when you're a celebrity anyway, but like then you become Taylor Swift and you get higher and higher and higher you're at the top literally half of the The world wants to see you fail, the other half wants to see you succeed, it has to be very difficult, but in this time I feel that she has become a more real person than she has ever been before in the sense that I feel that she no longer He cares about how he can truly enjoy his life and enjoy the time he has here.

I love the fact that we have videos of her at Coachella having a great time and being a normal person because you deserve to do those things and it sucks that you can't and obviously in some of these songs we've even heard that you lose some of your youth for those stuff, so I think there's a lot of power here and I'm excited about this, I can't wait to see what everyone's reaction is when it comes to this record. I know there were a lot of leaks. I stayed off Twitter because I just didn't want to hear it that way.

I don't want to see any spoilers, although I saw some that I didn't want to like. I really wanted to get into this and experience it the way I did and I'm so glad I did because I think this is going to be huge so I hope you enjoyed this video.
