Bc too many men have just written off her and other artists who are primarily loved by women and girls as just cheap musicians who aren't all that great. And hearing a man not doing that is healing a wound a lot of us have...
I feel like the reason why us swifties love watching people reacting to her songs and appreciating her is because this hasn't happened before. Like we've been screaming since Speak now how poetic she is but noone listened. Now all of a sudden people are noticing and talking about her and realising her mastery in her art. This recognition makes us happy because lets be honest, THIS WAS LONG OVERDUE.
@@Mel-jl8dt Legit. I'm ngl. I started listening to her since folklore too but like now i realise that her pop non singles have amazing lyrics TOO. Noone pays attention to them.
@@Aiibh totally agree... I'm happy to see a folklore fan recognising the other albums too. On twitter most fans that came from.folklore disregard a lot of her other work
As a fellow metalhead who is also a swift fan, she is so much more metal than most give her credit for, and it’s so cool to see another metalhead get that
Also, it’s amazing how well her songs can be covered by metal and punk/emo rock bands to perfection, which kinda just shows the genius of her writing and how hard her music goes. But you can also strip it all back to just be a piano or guitar and it’s still so powerful. It’s incredible.
I've been a swiftie since day one. I was also born in 1989 so we literally went through every life stage at the same time.. She's put words to things I've been battling my whole life which inherently has been healing AF.. but watching men objectively react to her art has been more healing than I could've possibly imagined. Thank you for respecting her as an artist. I watch a lot of these videos and RARELY comment, so just know for every grateful Swiftie commenting, there are probably also at least 5 more watching and sharing the same gratefulness. Regardless what media has said about us "Swifties", we are seriously the most loving fan base and soooooo excited anytime anyone gives her a FAIR chance.. something she hasn't really been allowed most of her career. So, even if it's a short time for your review, we are SOOOO GLAD you are here and you are welcome ANY time you choose to visit -- but welcome and encourage you to stay
I'm quickly becoming a fan. My ignorance of pretty much all popular music and radio play has been a detriment. I'm going to keep going down this rabbit hole 🥰
1 month younger than Tay and she has just narrated my relationships. I can’t even describe how much it’d helped me deal. And always grateful for a death metal guy reacting. We love you
I LOVE seeing someone who’s generally into totally different music give other things a chance too. Also, this song is about Matty Healy from the 1975. He chased her for ten years. Great band tbh!
Thank you! I've been intending to do this for about a year but my self consciousness got in the way. It still takes a lot to overrule that tbh. But you guys have all made me more comfortable than I thought possible tbh
Next project for the channel is a title card and intro music. Guess i have to learn how to edit now! Thanks to everyone who spends some of their time watching my crappy little videos.
I'm subscribing to your channel bc you dissect Taylor's poetry. Plus you rewind a few seconds when you come back from pausing, which reduces my anxiety
IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR REACTION AND IMPECCABLE COMMENTARY. this rly was like showing a dad friend my fav song and hearing all the validation that its genuinely great but also u understand how the production plays such a big role. Everything about this song is intentional even the end how it all comes to a point and conclusion, and ends naturally on a single note with no fade out or anything bc it’s such a mic drop moment like UGH
Loved your commentary on this! It showed up in my recommended feed, and can't wait to watch your other videos on the album! I'm very into Taylor Swift's music specifically for the poetry and songwriting, and this album delivered, for sure!
Love the pauses, i think that they were in the right moments except when the bridge was starting but it was still great, just a tip, with Taylor the bridges normally come after the second chorus, so if you notice a crescendo then its probably the bridge, so if you are going to pause it before the bridge i would recommend to go back a few seconds to start the bridge. Loved your reaction!
i’ve been a swiftie since speak now (original) came out, mean was the song that got me into the fandom. i was being severely bullied at the time and related too much to the song, and i’m so glad mean existed because taylor’s music has been with me through so many different life stages, ups and downs, and everything in between! so glad to see people getting into her music as well! welcome to the club🫶
You earned another sub!!! It's about time that people embrace music they're not used to. And as a man, it doesn't make you less of one if you enjoy a Taylor Swift song. I personally enjoy pop and alternative, but when I listened to artists like Escape The Fate, I enjoyed it so much especially when I went to one of their concerts. The mosh pit was a shock, but 15 minutes in, I'm joining the circle and just enjoying every minute.
She’s talking about a man she dated who was a herion addict. She tried to love him out of it, but he was messy and nearly dragged her name over his slop I think “stabbed me with you push pins” means his heroin addiction hurt her by loving drugs more than her
This is about Matty but he is no longer a drug addict/addicted to heroin, he has been sober for 5 or 6 years now. He stills drinks and smokes weed but isn't on heroin anymore. Also "stabbed me with your push pins" clearly means he had posters of her on his wall or treated her like taxidermy
This is just not factual at all. He had a heroin problem when they met 10 years ago - but has been clean for a long time. According to some of the other songs, their relationship broke down due to the behaviour of her fans and him deciding to prioritise his own mental and physical health. There are also references to him saying 'it's over.' so it seems he didn't ghost her exactly - he just refused to engage in discussion after the fact.
In one of your videos you said you liked the 80s synth. (I think Fortnight). So if you want to throw a different artist in here I'd suggest reacting to Chappell Roan, 'Good Luck, Babe'. It's new but so nostalgic sounding and fun!
Another good job but my preference is to hear your reaction to the music techniques, aspects of how the lyrics really work, the overall effect, etc. rather than commenting on what she might mean by what she's saying. But still, another enjoyable video.
Ok being that I'm seeing your Chanel is pretty new. We work in music and mostly death metal and death core so im wondering who your favorite bands are. Cool exploring some Taylor though trust me im known as the metal mom so my kid eye roll me for this often 😂
It is an IA hat and you DO get the points. My favorite metal bands all also happen to be close personal friends of mine! Check out Deathwrought by Bind the Sacrifice, Biah by Empty Graves, and by my all time favorite metal band, listen to BURDENED by PORTALS
@@DeathMetalDadReacts nice and wildly enough I don't know any of those. Ha ha usually I know all the bands my son has toured with and the ones we have worked with. I will see if he knows any of these.
To me this song gives the idea of anxiety with the build ups and then nothing and so on….i love this song but it does give me higher up anxiety lol but i think that’s its supposed too as another way to show how she always felt
@@DeathMetalDadReacts as a fellow content creator i know how important audio issues are :) thank you for not getting upset i said something, some ppl do lol
New sub, enjoyed ur reaction. Taylor is one of a kind, I’m so glad the world is catching on to what Swifties have been screaming from the mountaintops for almost 2 decades. 🤍🖤🫶
Nothing makes me happier than watching a man appreciate how incredibly poetic she is…idk why 😂
You crave male validation?
@@bubbles1978 always

It’s like crack. So many of my male friends secretly love her.
@@caffeinated_bookworm_well said.

What's annoying is that it took her stepping away from pop and go towards indie with folklore for people to take her seriously...

This is a classic Taylor bridge. Her bridges are renowned for being lethal.
she wrote the body of the song in 7/8 time - and then gut-punches you by switching to 4/4 "common time" for the devastating bridge! IT'S MASTERFUL
THATS WHAT IT IS. THATS THE WORDS TO THE FEELING
I don't think anyone was ready for that bridge.

Her performing this live on the eras tour with the drum line is also amazing.
I think you are swiftly becoming a Swifty, yeah I went there, and couldn't resist. Great reaction
Ghurl could’ve held back and said “you’re full of sh*t”. But nah she had to go all out in the most poetic way possible 😂
I LOVE the extra venom of some poetry
An "also ran" is someone who ran in a race but didn't place, so nothing to talk about.
Oh thats sad :(
“You’ve got the platform Taylor give him the message yourself” just before the bridge. I was thinking oh he has no idea what’s coming 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
THIS!!!!
This is in my top 5 from the album! Great reaction!
It's a great song and it cuts like a KNIFE. It gives Olivia Rodrigo meets billie eilish for me 🥰
First video of yours I’ve seen and as a metal head and swiftie myself(I consider myself polyjamorous) I very happily subbed
Thank you so much!!!! 😭😭😭
Polyjamorous 😂
I LOVE seeing someone who’s generally into totally different music give other things a chance too.

you caught it all!!! such a sad song though, but I am glad she added it to the The Eras set.
Next project for the channel is a title card and intro music. Guess i have to learn how to edit now! Thanks to everyone who spends some of their time watching my crappy little videos.
I’ve being entertaining myself with men’s reaction to the line “you didn’t mesure up in any mesure of a man”
It's a fuckin BRUTAL line and I love it. Cuts straight and deep.
Taylor wow I’m so happy to be alive in your era u r phenomenal ur pen game is mind blowing
She does not let up in this bridge and I love it
I'm subscribing to your channel bc you dissect Taylor's poetry. Plus you rewind a few seconds when you come back from pausing, which reduces my anxiety
Thank you so much for supporting my little hobby! I have very quickly grown to love Taylor's song writing and I can't wait for the next one

I've come to realize that TS is less of a musician and more of an ARTIST
Loved your commentary on this! It showed up in my recommended feed, and can't wait to watch your other videos on the album! I'm very into Taylor Swift's music specifically for the poetry and songwriting, and this album delivered, for sure!
You need to do a reaction to this song on the Eras tour now. It’s a TOTALLY different song experience
KEEP EM COMING!!! Love these!!!
Can't stop won't stop!!! this weekend I'm going to try to have a title card finished 🥵🥵

I don’t know what it is about watching dads breakdown Taylor but 💕
Thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I just started binging your channel 🤣
🎉 Great Reaction! One of my Top Favorites! 😍
If you need a real cry, and I’m talking one that makes me sob every time, give her song Ronan (Taylor’s Version) a listen
Oh lord, don't do that to the man! He said he has kids :(
@@melissadavis4981 I KNOW it’s gonna emotionally wreck him but the story and songwriting behind it is a MASTERPIECE and pulls so much emotion
@@TheColdPop you're not wrong lol
Oh no, DON'T DO IT.
Loml is the saddest.
Definitely one of the best songs on the album!
Loved your reaction-just subscribed.
This means I'll be seeing more of you soon

Oof. Been there, done that. Glad I'm out of it too. You can't be in a successful relationship with a drug addict :(
@@DeathMetalDadReactsyep, that’s why she’s made such tortured poetry 💔

SWEMOS! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need a shirt that says SWEMO in big block letters
Matt Healy did a number on her. He has substance abuse problems.
Oh boy. Glad she's away from that shit

You gotta listen to Down Bad. Her vocabulary has everyone pulling out dictionaries!
Oh I'm down for some learning
Really enjoyed your commentary, but I think the gate on your mic is turned up too high.
Noted!!! I'll turn it down a bit! Thanks for the help! 🥰
If you like Taylor... I think you will like Delta Rae ❤ check out chasing twisters.. it's my favorite!
just letting you know, that your mic cuts out when you're talking :)
