- Today, #LearningFromLyrics reviews Champagne Problems lyrics by Taylor Swift. You all said I HAD to hear this one, and I'm glad you recommended it!
It's so fun to see the similarities between songs as we've been analyzing Taylor Swift lyrics. Let me know what you think of this song in the comments.

What's your favorite line in "Champagne Problems"?
Well the that was my favorite (and most I think)was censored here.
Perhaps you can do an update listening to that version? It really changes the dynamic of the song.
WHAT A SHAME SHES FUCKED IN THE HEAD (u listened to the clean version)
Same for me. Kinda funny that the one line that everyone loves to scream at the concert was lost in this non-explicit version. "Stuck in her head" seriously misses the mark and changes the meaning.@@Bananabear20
The bridge (original/explicit version). For sure!
I love the line till someone's on their kneee and asks you because knees is plural and u usually propose on one knee, so at a certain point he was begging her on his knees
"Champagne problems" is "the one where longtime college sweethearts had very different plans for the same night, one to end it, and one who brought a ring," plus she talks about how mental health issues can affect you and your relationship. this song hurts man
So sad UGH
It really does 😢
You got this right and it is so important not to misunderstand Taylor's lyric/title.
I actually think champagne problem is Betty and James. I think Betty took him back but they ended up not being end game. I mean, James didn’t deserve betty but haven’t we all had the experience of being with the good for nothing that we loved before we split with him for good?
@@hermitwatcher8997 Wow but at the same time
You could be so wrong 😂
Just to add: he booked the night train 'for a reason', told his family 'for a reason', the other person always had a reason for doing things while the narrator rejected the proposal 'I couldn't give a reason' showing how different the two characters are.
OMG. I love that - thanks for pointing that out!
I love when she says "sometimes you just don't know the answer 'til someone's on their knees and asks you" because he was on his KNEES in plural, not down on one knee, which is what is common for when a man proposes, meaning he was basically begging her not to break up with him
I NEVER CAUGHT THIS WOW
I didn’t catch this either! I love that detail 🥹😭
In one of her Americona Interview TS was on the couch with her Mom & Dad she WAS wearing an Engagement ring on that finger 😢❤
There is no “he” in this situation. If this person is an English teacher we are screwed. 😢
@BlueCat3322 you're absolutely right, I just assumed the person was a he 😅 they could be any gender
15:52 the original lyric was actually "what a shame she's fucked in the head" which is likely a dig on how people constantly called taylor insane because she couldn't "keep a guy." always hits so good in the explicit version.
UGH 😣
Why does this comment say 5 days ago and the vid say it was posted 22 hr ago??

I always thought that "how evergreen our group of friends, dont think we'll say that word again" was referring to the word "our". The narrator has turned down the proposal and the relationship is over, so there will never be an "ours" between them again. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ love this song😊
A few others have said this too! Makes sense! 🥺
Thing is it works for every word
They wont be "evergreen"
"Our" wont apply anymore
And they will stop being "friends" after this
To me "Champagne Problems" has three meanings. 1. First World Problems 2. Drinking Problems 3. Proposing: Alluding to the champagne that's supposed to opened to celebrate a positive answers.
With the madhouse joke and the "fucked in the head" line, I think this protagonist is someone who's suffering from mental health problems. The whole "champagne problems" thing sounds self-deprecating but also sarcastic because the way people talked about her after the failed proposal sounds like they were trying to downplay or dismiss her feelings and mental health. Because every woman wants to get married to a nice guy and have kids, right? Or else you must be crazy! lol
Can't wait until you react to evermore (the song).
Yassss. I ❤ Evermore!
I do think the explicit version brings that struggle much more to light, and nice tie-in to "madhouse" UGH. Comparing mental health to a champagne problem is SO ICKY. Great insight
an interesting thing about the line “Sometimes you just don’t know the answer till someone’s on their knees and asks you” is that knees is plural. Usually when someone proposes they do it on ONE knee. When we think of someone being on their KNEES it’s someone begging, much more desperate and intense than a simple proposal.
Love that detail so much! Completely slipped past me - thanks for sharing this 😍🤓
The first time listening to this song is a meaningful experience. You spend the first two-thirds feeling your heart breaking for the man who got rejected but with the bridge you realise that he will slowly but surely heal, surrounded by all their friends who took his side in the split and eventually a new lover. But she will be alone, she won’t heal or move on. The plot of the song is that it is devastating for him in the short term but worse for her in the long run.
i think cardigan, august and betty (in this order) should be on the same video cause they tell the same story from 3 different points of view
Actually, the order is August, Betty and Cardigan. Taylor said it
@@ostendervalencia6660 chronologically yes!!! but the order that taylor put in the album is better for a first experience idk is just so fun to figure out everything by the end
She received an eight minutes long standing ovation after singing this song on the last LA show of her Eras tour (easy to find on CZcams). Can you imagine what it must have felt like? Just wow...
that's wild!
I was there and broke my voice haha
@@bearIyy I am really envious of you!
Was actually the penultimate show and repeated on her last show, but the applause had been steadily building at all 6 concerts at SoFi Stadium.
Girl covering Taylor Swift was the best decision you could've made lol
Hahaha I think you're right! XD. It's been so fun!
The explicit version says "what a shame she's fucked in the head" suggesting her struggling with mental health problems. And probably other people seeing it as "champagne problems".
Also, don't forget that Midas touch, while turns everything into gold is also a curse (in the og story he turned his family into gold).
"One for the money, two for the show, I never was ready so I watched you go" is a play on a famous children's rhyme "One for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, And four to go".
Also, notice how he isn't on his knee (as simply kneeling to propose) but on his knees - literally begging her to marry him.
This was a super interesting take. I think it definitely shows more about the story, keeping these things in mind.
Yeah I was gonna say the Midas Touch thing i first thought she just was saying it was lovely that everything turned to gold but it's also like fake and maybe too much. Maybe a false illusion type meaning. It's crazy how much meaning we can put into one line like that if we really look. And this song has SO many deeply meaningful lines!
@VioletEmerald so true. Honestly this song has become one of my favs!
do "you're losing me" next!! honestly all of Taylors songs are lyrical masterpieces. you need to react to her entire discography lol
Nice analysis! I also like how she alters the saying "one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go" (old rhyme, but used in "Rock Around the Clock") and changes it to "one for the money, two for the show, I never was ready, so I watched you go." So good!
yess, love it!
One more thing. I like the distinction between "knees" and "knee" so this guy is on both knees which I think implies begging more than just asking. Which makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Loved your reaction!
Thank you and UGH. A few folks have mentioned this and I love that detail! Totally slipped past me. Heartbreaking but a great detail!
You should do Right where you left me, I feel it's a masterpiece of storytelling.
Beautiful analysis! However, I cannot wait for you to react to Ivy, Coney Island, or tolerate it from that album. Shakespeare would have been proud 🥲
I vote for Coney Island next or Tolerate It
LITERALLY ALL 3 OF THESE omg evermore is her best album and an absolute masterpiece
Thank you!! And haha oh my 🫢
on folklore and evermore she talks about mental health stuff in maaany ways, what leads me to believe it’s not entirely made up stories cause there’s just no way, right? to talk about something SO serious and deep and complex without ever feeling that way? and that puts a perspective for the listener with mental health stuff that is just.. is heartbreaking and healing at the same time. i just, i love it. those albuns changed my life forever
The "one for the money, two for the show, I never was ready so i watch you go" is an allusion to an Elvis song and children rhyme where it says "one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go "
she wrote a song for the movie adaptation of where the crawdads sing called carolina and it’s written very well
yess!!! And it's SO UNDERRATED. It definitely hits harder if you've read the book or watched the movie though.
I read the book earlier this year, so I really want to listen to this one!!
@@OnWriting. If you do, please listen to the original longer version (over 4 min long) and not the shorter movie version just over 2 min long )that most peope react to.. The original long version is way more haunting and epic than the shorter one 😊
@@yara5502 agreed!!
For the line "How evergreen our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again," I see that as referring to the word "our," meaning they'll never be able to say something is "ours" again.
I really like this interpretation! So sad :(
Taylor seems to use dancing as a sort of metaphor for a relationship in several of her songs like in dancing with our hands tied. She uses a lot of metaphors throughout her songwriting but i love the dancing = relationship metaphor.
I love it too!
cowboy like me!!❤❤❤
One interesting thing to take note of is her folklore album is very spring/summer feel to it and u could see that in some of the lyrics for example her song seven “picture me in the swings over the creek”, “sweet tea in the summer”… “august slipped away”, but her evermore album which includes champagne problems and happiness are very fall and winter oriented, which is why this song mentions “November flush”, and “deck the halls”… there’s a song on this album called it’s the damn season as well
Oooh that’s so cool!
@@OnWriting. tis the damn season*** sorry if that was confusing 😭, but also yeah Taylor confirmed this herself and it’s displayed with the visuals as well, but something to look out for I guess
I'd love to see you react to the songs "cardigan ," "august," and "betty," which are about a love traingle from the "folklore" album. Each song gives a new perspective to the situation! 🤍🤍🤍
the song realy fits Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls and since Taylor watched it and we know that most of this album is imaginary I belive in this theory
Approximate Rhyming I love that.
I have been waiting for it like for so many days 😭
We finally made it to Thursday!! 🥲
@@OnWriting. thankyou Ma'am for doing so. You are best .
I like how quickly you went from novels to music haha
Hahaha 😆 well I figured this would be a more engaging way to learn about writing 🤓 then we can apply the principles to our novels 😉😜
This is such a great way to look Taylor Swift lyrics. Have you heard about the Teenage love story trilogy on folklore? (August,Betty,Cardigan) That would be pretty fun to take a look at. Also, The Last Great American Dynasty is a true story. Interesting to see how she told the story. Other song suggestions All Too Well (10 minute version), Bigger Than the Whole Sky, Clean, My Tears Ricochet- this song is such a beautiful expression of the hurt/drama that prompted the re-records of her music. Thanks for this channel. So much good writing to discuss!
I've always interpreted the 'Midas touch on the Chevy door' line as referring to a big old truck with a sticky door that's hard to open. He's the only one who can figure out how to make it work. And he opens it for her, which suggests he's romantic and chivalrous
Aww, I really like that interpretation! Thanks for sharing it ^.^
I would suggest listening the the explicit versions of her songs. She does not curse often but when she does it is important to the song imo
I love the double meaning of "your hometown sceptics called it... champagne problems"
I fully believe she did this on purpose, we're supposed to wonder if "champagne problems" is part of that sentence here. They called it a champagne problem? Or they predicted the proposal would be denied?
Another part of it is I think she's implying that the protagonist has mental health issues that prevented her from being the right partner for him, prevented her from saying yes. "This dorm was once a madhouse" - "Well it's made for me". "What a shame she's fucked in the head". Are the sceptics calling her mental health a champagne problem? Does SHE think of her mental health as a champagne problem?
Love this! I really like that double meaning too! I lost the flow a bit when I stopped the music but, listening again all the way through, it was awesome to hear the whole phrase. The idea of her skeptics calling her MH a champagne problem is SO GROSS but I do love it for what it brings to the story... And I bet she started thinking of it that way too, to some extent, like when she says "my champagne problems" at the end UGH
I loved your analysis and reaction to this beautiful, heart-wrenching song ❤
Thank you tons! So glad you loved it
most of the songs on folklore and evermore are fictional storys of characters created by taylor
says taylor but i don’t buy it hahahahah
Or, the "characters" and "stories" are huge metaphors for something that may have actually happened in her life or in the world! Re-read the prologue to Folklore, she hints that it's a blend of her stories with songs from other perspectives!
@@alohasargent i think that too!
Please Do No Body No Crime next
It's so wild to hear the censored version with "what a shame she's stuck in her head" because I'm so used to listening to regular explicit version with the lyric "what a shame she's fucked in the head"
The 'this dorm was once a madhouse lyric' and ' I made a joke, well its made for me now' alludes to her song mad woman from her other album folklore. Its kind of a continuum of a story because as the madwoman from an american dynasty (the last great american dynasty; another song from taylor's folklore) she was an outcast who has now come to this country side ( chevy= country) and broken a country boy's heart.
Wow! You're my new favorite person on CZcams, Megan. I love diving deep into lyrics, and I've wondered why not many people do that on the internet.
I thoroughly loved watching this till the end. You make incredible explanations, you got a great personality, amazing insights.
Look forward to watching more of your videos :)
Aw thanks so much Marjorie! You’re too sweet - I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!
"sometimes you just dont know the answer till someone's on their knees and asks you " also gives me the impression that she didn't necessarily was gonna end their relationship, maybe she didn't even think she'd say "no" to him. But you never know the answer till someone actually asks you, right ?
Lyrically this song is so deep, wow
now cowboy like me and ivy! i love me some complicated relationship!!!!
cowboy like me is the best wing she’s ever written to me, the construction of the characters and the metaphors and how u could never know how it actually turned out…
and ivy, oh god. forbidden saphic romance and secrets and pleasure and death !!!!! it’s a crazyyyy story!
can’t wait for you to do those!!! loved this one!
I have my exams coming up, this helped me tremendously
Aw I’m so glad! Good luck on your exams 🥰
For me the champagne problems always ment her mental health. It's common that people say that mental health is problem only for the rich and as a working class you have "real" problems, dismissing the importance of it. Taylor wants to tells as that mental health is important.
As a non-native english speaker, some lines in this song have always been hard for me to grasp what they exactly mean. Thank you for helping
Oh my gosh! This makes me the happiest to hear ^.^ You're so welcome!
In the lyric “how evergreen our group of friends, don’t think we’ll say that word again” I’m pretty sure the word she’s actually referring to is “our.” Because now the character and her partner aren’t together, and they don’t share that friend group anymore :(
I thought the reference to and play on the old children’s rhyme “one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go, go, go” was really clever. (“One for the money, two for the show, I never was ready, so I watch you go.”)
12:17 I think it also points out that Midas touch turned against himself, since his touch turning things into gold kept him from touching everything, from food to the people he loved
14:09 I also think here she hints to the dorm as well, since the history they had there is going to fade in time when other students go there and decorate the place with new stuff and new memories, and their history is going to be forgotten
Thanks for keeping up with the Taylor Swift reaction. This is a great one! Keep going 😄
Haha my pleasure! Glad you’re enjoying them ❤️
I've been waiting for thissssss thank you
You are so welcome!
Just wanted to say I love your reactions and analysis ☺️
Thank you tons Alex!! ❤️
I always think the sister is splashed out on the bottle because the proposal, and ultimately the evening, went sideways. She proceeded to get drunk since no one else was drinking the expensive champagne. Maybe it was even a bit of a spectacle.
Please do peace and illicit affairs!! 🥺🥺
I shed a tear because she and her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn wrote this break-up song while they were in relationship and would eventually break up after 6 years together. Talk about (your) life imitating (your) art.
Honestly so sad 😣
Re: the Bruno Mars song you thought of... the radio hit "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon also ends that way with the person talking about the "he" at the end when it read all you and I stuff for the whole first part of the song. I love when songwriters make that choice for breakup type songs. Works so well.
Even Sk8ter Boi by Avril Lavigne switches up he and she to start being about the singer directly lol
Thank you sharing your thoughts! I grew up listening to Taylor swift and have been entranced by her lyrics since day 1. As she's matured in her songwriting abilities I often struggle to discover the meaning behind metaphors and miss nuances. I would love it if you did a video about her 10-minute All Too Well. I've listened to many people's reactions on that song and have a fairly deep understanding of it now, but I think you might enjoy it. It takes a bit of knowledge about Taylor's dating life to grasp some of the content of the lyrics. The song is super personal and emotional. It's known as one of her best songs.
Hi Megan, I NEED you to analyze Timeless (Taylor’s version) from the speak now TV vault tracks. It’s one of her best storytelling songs imo.
We get more Taylor Swift analysis! Yess ❤❤❤. I love this song. Was waiting for so long for you to listen to this 😁.
I really liked it!
@@OnWriting. we were hoping you would! Hope you enjoy whatever else you react to. Can’t wait for Folklore!❤️
I love Champagne Problems! It hurts in just the right way. You should try and find you're losing me...which hurts even worse. And tolerate it is an amazing kick in the gut, with beautiful lines and metaphors!
I actually think Champagne problems is about Betty and James. I think she took him back but they ended up breaking up after their relationship turned long term and adult.
I think Betty loved James. That’s why she took him back. Maybe James is a great guy who made a mistake once and then their relationship just fell apart despite them trying to make it work. And this is exactly how it ended.
Your analysis is always so spot on! Please do Tis the Damn Season or Right Where You Left Me (or literally every song from Folklore and Evermore haha)
Thanks a ton!
Watching your lyric breakdowns and the other videos on your channel is inspiring me to start songwriting again. Thank YOU!@@OnWriting.
Love to hear this!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos! Been bingeing them and cannot wait especially for more Taylor! Cannot believe you haven't even gotten to folklore! I have a feeling you'll end up having some of my favourite analyses of the "teenage love triangle" (aka cardigan, august, betty).
thank you!!
Very enjoyable, watching you listen to and react to and I select the writing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you tons!!
It's time for right where you left me. Probably my favorite TS song.
Great reaction! You’ve probably received an overwhelming amount of requests but I’d love to see your interpretation of ‘Cowboy Like Me’ from the same album. It might just be the most misunderstood track on there.
You have to listen to the uncensored versions, it makes such a difference in this song.
I like your interpretation. May I add to that something that would make it complete?
Champagne problem is a trivial, insignificant issue that one keeps digging on instead of the actual problem at hand. The song is about a broken couple, with real issues to deal with (the relationship itself, the mental heath, etc.) but their grief is so vast that they keep dwelling on the trivial stuff that they shouldn’t even care about. Like the bottle that his sister splashed out on, or the Dom Perignon that he brought, all for nothing. And there’s no friends to celebrate with, such a big deal. And then we have the hometown skeptics who knew the couple was not gonna last, now they can boast about how right they were. Or the wedding speech he had prepared, now never has the chance to say it. All of these little problems that one keeps beating themselves up about as part of the grieving process of two broken hearts.
I loved the video!! But that’s the first time I’ve ever heard the clean version and it caught me off guard😅😅 my favorite line is “your Midas touch on the Chevy door”. It just sounds so pretty and I see it vividly in my head.
hearing the word "stuck" was such a whiplash
hahaha I'm so sorry x.x
This is such a great analysis. I've always wondered what the "how evergreen our group of friends" mean and now it's clear. I was waiting for the "she's effed in the head" line then I realized it's the clean version😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes, my bad haha XD
Omg I just found this video and binge watched all your taylor swift videos - it’s so great to see these lyrics getting analyzed so throughly!! Love that you are really taking the time to take apart every verse. Can’t wait for more ❤ Please react to Hoax and The Lakes from Folklore - they are one my my favs lyrically from her!!
Thank you tons!! I’m so glad you enjoyed them 🥰. And those are going on my list!
U should do renegade or your losing me next!❤
I remember when this came out and we realised that Joe had helped her write it. I thought it connected really well as almost as a response to Cornelia Street. Him saying that everywhere would remind him of her too. That he would tell his family when he proposed and have a family ring. With the home town sceptics who call her f'd in the head as the media who pin her as crazy and that she won't settle down (to tie it to another - 1950s shit they want from me)
To me this song has always been Taylor doing what she does when she talks sarcastically about something. Her "champagne problems" are not actually champagne problems. To me, he tried to smooth over her mental health issues, and be like "let's get married and just be happy and that'll fix it" but when he proposed to her, she saw that he didn't actually understand her or her problems, he saw them as "champagne problems." Particularly the line "you won't remember all my champagne problems" and the anger in it is what sells it to me. You won't remember all these silly little issues I had, you'll be with someone who doesn't have any. He doesn't see her for who she is, he loves an idea. Also the fact that they say "she's effed in the head" meaning not only him but people around him, like his family and town thought her mental health issues were "champagne problems" too, and talked behind her back. She does this a lot. Like in TLGAD when she says "the doctor told him to settle down, it must've been her fault his heart gave out," and the whole context of the song is classism and misogyny. So you know it wasn't her fault he died, but the town accused her of it. I see this here as the same thing. He might be great, but he doesn't take her seriously. He "cured" her feeling cold but he can't just do that with her trauma. He can't just "touch her and turn her to gold" because that's not how people work. And when he proposed she understood that was what he was trying to do to her. Even if he had good intentions. She very sarcastically paints herself as the villain of the story. Like in exile "you never gave me a sign x I gave so many signs." She's frequently written about this small town/circle that pushes people like her (loud and "mad") away, it's a recurrent theme of her songs. Like in IBYTAM she says "they let me sit in back when we were in love." It's like she's broken his heart, and though the town skeptics are scoffing a bit, he's still the hero of the story, and she's the villain because she has serious issues which he just wanted to turn into gold, not really deal with, or let her deal with.
I also take the "town skeptics" line as meaning that they "called it" as in they said she was going to say no, or they knew/predicted they'd break up, because she's "full of champagne problems," which also fits this sarcastic perspective.
Even the way the sister "splashed out on the bottle" before he even proposed to her, meaning his family also doesn't consider her agency, to me. They bought a super expensive champagne because who wouldn't want to marry their midas touch son? And now that's ALSO her fault because she had the nerve to say no.
Oooh yes - love this take!
Amazing review!
Thank you!
I think Joe wrote only the melody, the Lyrics are mostly Taylor's
Ohhh cool!
Please react to all too well ten minutes version
Somewhere along the line when reacting to folklore/evermore, you might want to mention some standard terminology concerning the proportion of fiction vs. non-fiction. I tend to picture this list when thinking of Taylor's songs:
(1) "The following is a true story"/biographical
(2) "Based on a true story" (names changed to protect the innocent)
(3) "Inspired by true events" (fiction but is vaguely related to true events)
(4) Fiction (any resemblance to actual people is purely coincidental)
Most of Taylor's songs tend to be a combination of (1) and (2) although she never reveals who they are really about (even when all of us already know.) Folklore/evermore are supposedly a combo of (3) and (4) but, realistically, most of us suspect that there is still a lot of (2) mixed in. My impression is that Champagne Problems was inspired by real-life situations that sparked Taylor's imagination, but the song is essentially supposed to be on the (3)/(4) spectrum.
Would love if you reacted to "Dear John" immediately followed by "Would've Could've Should've" just for shits and giggles...
"This dorm was once a madhouse, I made a joke well it's made for me"
She's saying that their dorm house was once an asylum (madhouse) and that she made a joke that that madhouse was made for her because of her mental health problems. It sounds to me like she's blaming her mental health issues for her not accepting his proposal 💔💔
Yessss so sad 🥺
A lot of commenters say that Folklore and Evermore are fiction, but if you read Taylor's prologue to Folklore, it's much more nuanced. Some songs are her stories, wrapped in metaphor. Some are her stories but from other perspectives. And some are other people's stories. "I found myself not only writing my own stories, but also writing about or from the perspective of people I've never met, people I've known, or those I wish I hadn't...The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and diction become almost indiscernible...Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory." [note that fantasty is very different from history and also very different from memory]
I just wanna say I love wavy hair on you😊 Your face shines ✨ And the makeup is amazing
Aw, thanks! Appreciate that ^.^
“Til someone’s on their knees and asks you”. KNEES. It wasn’t just a proposal. He was begging.
Yesssss I love that detail UGH.
"Champagne problems" - the Champagne bottle&ceremony is the pain and heartbreak and ruined dreams that each of them { and his family and friends} are feeling.{ Terrific video, Megan }.
Love that and thank you!
Oh no! You got the clean version! 😩 it’s ‘“what a shame she’s fckd in the head” -they said’
Another great video!!! Since you mentioned the Bruno Mars song you should look at Flowers by Miley Cyrus. It flips the perspective of that song. It’s also rumored to be about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
That’s a good song. Great video.
Thank you tons!
Loved the video! Hope you can look into “My tears ricochet”, i think that song is taylor’s peak song writing
Thank you!
The explicit version hits way better!!!
Can't argue with that!
if u liked champagne problems u should totally react to clean, tolerate it or illicit affairs! the lyrics are so good in these songs ❤️ loved the reaction
I’d love to see some analysis of the lyrics off Hozier’s newest album “Unreal, Unearth.” That whole album is themed around Dante’s Inferno, moving through the circles of hell as the album progresses. I would suggest “Unknown/Nth” as a good song to analyze.
This sounds super cool! Love the Inferno
It took me WAY too long to realize that this is the clean version. I was like "stuck in her head? What?" Then OHHHH wait
Midas is also the name of a car repair shop
So good!
We ALL know that line is NOT “stuck in her head” LOLOLOL😂😂😂😂
I wish you’d talked about “your hometown skeptics called it champagne problems” . Love ur videos anyway 🎉🎉
I do too!! Thanks for watching though ❤️
Please do "Cold As You" and "clean" if you haven't already! I think cold as you is so underrated because she was so young but lyrically it is so good especially for a teenager!
You were reading the clean version of the lyric, you read “stuck in her head” instead of the more potent “fucked in the head” meaning the narrator had mental health problems that’s why she rejected the proposal for the good of the guy she was dating. It’s a really song.
I have listened to hundreds of reactions to music and they all concentrate on the music and vocals and your focus on the writing is refreshing. She might be best known for her jazz vocals rather than her writing at 17 but I would be interested in your take on Angelina Jordan's new music such as the song "Good in Goodbyes." I think the writing in this one is extremely clever.
Ah thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for the recommendation, too - adding it to my list ^.^
Next Taylor Swift suggestion..."Ivy" from Evermore. Love your channel ❤
Thanks Katie! Ivy is coming 👀 🤭🥰
@OnWriting. woot woot! Can't wait 😍
I think the midas touch on the chevy door might be a metaphor for her. Taylor swift started as a country artist. He made her special by his touch. For the madhouse line, I think Taylor has been open about her issues with anxiety and eating disorders.
