I got tickets to the eras tour for Xmas!
Ps. I cried
That is amazing 🥳💕@@-Grace-Monaghan-
Moment of silence for the hits different intro
Fr 😂 love that song
Me too ❤
it is so iconic 😭
I read this before the video started and I was so sad for a sec that it would be gone ahaha
It’s one of my favs
we as a society need a red carpet look ranking lol
totally
Absolutely
YES
Girl
You can make an entire long video on TVD and we'll love that.
i'm just scared to do it before i finish because any time i so much as mention i'm watching for the first time, people spoil things :((((
@@AllySheehanoh no
Plz do it after finishing it.
I'd hate for it to be spoiled for you.
@@AllySheehani would actually cry my fav yter and my fav show omg
@@AllySheehan i would totally love a wrap when you are done.
@@AllySheehan I second the motion of doing it after you finish the whole series! This was my fav TV show during my teenage years hehe
I loved the Barbie movie and I think that America Ferrera's speech was pretty basic BECAUSE she's speaking to Barbies that literally have never heard it before, unlike us adult humans. And as a mom of three young girls, I'm so grateful for this movie to introduce those topics to my children in a fun way. My 4 year old loved the movie because PINK but I'm hoping someday she'll truly take those lessons to heart and be the amazing woman I know she someday will be because of what she learned from Barbie.
Ahh interesting! To me it seemed like she was venting the frustrations that came to her in that moment
So wonderful that your daughter could already appreciate it!
When I went, the whole theater's kids and some adults were singing Dance The Night during that one scene. 😭 It was so adorable. I wish I filmed it, but movie theater rules...
That makes sense! And I loved barbie 😍
yeah i just turned 13 this year and that speech was definitely an eye opening moment for me and allowed me to embrace femininity a lot more this year which in very happy about. hopefully this paves the way for some even better pieces of media in 2024.
exactly! it was not meant for feminists, but as an introduction to feminism for everyone, and I think that's really important!
POV: YOUR WATCHING THE MOST UNDERRATED CHANNEL
👇
OMG YES! Most of my friends don’t get Taylor sooo…. Ally is my swiftie bestie
@@rahulshukla6975same except for my cousin. Who onlys knows her most popular songs but she loes CIWYW
the vampire diaries and taylor swift, what more can i ask for
Real
Exactly
literally my 2023
never saw a more real comment
IKR!!!!!
It's so impressive how good Nina Dobrev is in TVD. People actually forget that Katherine and Elena are played by the same actor.
I’m watching TVD for the first time right now (on season 6!) and honestly all the actors are incredible. The amount of times people had to switch to different characters on portrayals drastically different and it was all believable!
Even just seeing small clips I can see how much shes improved from her Degrassi days. Unfortunately her character on Degrassi annoyed me so much, so even if TVD was my kinda show I don't think I could watch it because of Nina.
Lmao do people really forget that?
@@BrunetteGiant honestly there are moments that i do bc they’re really convincing 😂😂😂
No spoilers…the creators say that when Klaus saved Caroline on her birthday, the chemistry was unreal and fandom spun in that direction without them planning it. Candice King is phenomenal.
I can absolutely see that!! Honestly I love the way he just adores her
Another comment Candice or the cast mentioned/joked about at an interview was that Candice's character Caroline would look like was getting match up with a lot of the male characters because Candice per se had great chemistry with many of them hehe
That was the moment me and my other roommate became Klaus fans
@@Outtacontextouttatime currently i'm a little mad at him bc he just impailed caroline with a wooden pole (OUCH) and then bit her (LETHAL) purely so her boyfriend would break up with her and leave
@@AllySheehanI totally get that. I felt the same way.
i feel the same about the barbie movie!! love the girlhood aspect, but it felt way too ken heavy to me! 😭 so glad i heard someone else’s opinion who’s the same as mine lol
Same! The plot wasn’t what I was expecting. It was good, but I guess I wanted more of Barbie finding herself
totally agree!!
I suck at writing comments. But I found your channel this year, and it’s been such a bright space for me to go to whenever I feel down, and I’m so glad to have found you. To anyone reading, have a great day and a fantastic new year! ❤
wow that makes me so so happy!!
As someone who’s friends aren’t swifties, Ally is my swiftie bestie ❤
Ally may not be pregnant, but she always delivers 💙
pls rank Taylor’s red carpet outfits!!!!!! we would ❤
i agree with ally so much, i loved how 'girlhood' was so popular this year. i'm also so proud of how far taylor has come :)
Its fine if you have been posting non-Taylor-content we still love your videos ally! 😘😘
Ally you need to do a video deep diving into all Easter eggs from each Taylor album/era!!! You are so smart when it comes to Easter eggs and the things you find blow my mind! Like if you agree!
Please. As a newer swiftie I've literally been searching for a video like that. I need to know. Are there any Easter egg videos that you recommend?
Yessss!
@@angelaamberaa8365 ally has multiple amazing videos on 1989, midnights, and speak now Easter eggs/ lore
I second this!
Yesss
The Ken plot line in the Barbie movie did feel too big but it’s how Barbie found her voice. Plus I loved the scene when all the Barbie’s were voting. And America Ferrera’s monologue is definitely overplayed but I think especially maybe in the US with women’s reproductive rights being stripped away I didn’t hate hearing it again.
Anyways, thanks for the fun and thoughtful videos ❤️
I loved Barbie, but I agree with all the points made. The best defensive I’ve seen of the monologue is that it wasn’t really for the women who already know how difficult womanhood is. It was aimed toward the younger girls who don’t know that reality yet. The speech from the creator at the very end felt more aimed at those of us already knew deep in dealing with womanhood versus the patriarchy. I do still feel the message would have been stronger if there was less of the Ken plotline.
omg yes PLEASEEEE do a ranking of all her red carpet looks!! you can even do street wear as well!
Barbie fell flat for me too.. so many people around me loved it and cried, but I couldn’t imagine when or why because it all felt kind of basic. Like you said, we’ve heard/seen it before in older movies. Still can’t really put it into words but 100% agree with you
I was a Chiefs fan for years bc I liked Patrick mahomes. When I heard about Travis at the concert, I was excited. When I was watching the game and saw her. I SCREEmed 😂
I already have chiefs gear 🎉🎉
Ally saying “almost as famous” made me giggle idk why,probably because as an international swiftie I had never heard of Travis before Taylor.(No hate ally is a queen)
OMG SHE LIKED
I found your channel this year and can’t even describe the happiness it has brought to me. I don’t really have any friends who are Swifties so watching your vids and reading through the comment sections feels like I’ve found my people. Thanks for being so amazing and creating real and truly feel good content ❤
same like literally none of my friends are swifties and I always wish I had someone to talk to about her
I second this!!
We need a whole vision board video from you. Recaping old ones, how to make your own, ... 😍🥰
Number one moment of this year for me was definitely going to the eras tour! I’ve never been able to see Taylor and I worked super hard to save up the money for tickets, and it was the most magical and surreal experience of my entire life! 😊
ahhh so happy for you!!!
i clicked faster than you could say sabotage i freaking love this woman
One of my absolute favorite things from 2023 was discovering your channel, and experiencing this joyful community 🩷 The joy of sharing your favorite artists, movies and tv shows, and pop-culture things, is something I haven't experienced since my tumblr days during my teen (which consisted of 99% TVD btw, so I love that you're getting to experience that - and it hit HARD at 15-16 years old 😂) - so thank you so much for that ✨
Omg “first it was love, then it was just married” gets me EVERY time
RIGHTTTTTT
YESSS!!! i fully agree about the barbie movie. like it was the BARBIE movie and it was almost all about ken😭 im so happy someone brought it up.
As someone who subscribed to you for the Taylor Swift content but stuck around for all the other videos too, I'm so glad I found your channel!! Keep it up!
thank you love!!
came for taylor swift, stayed for tvd
i'd love to hear more of your thoughts about tvd!! i myself watched it for the first time just a couple of years ago, and it immediately became one of THE tv shows for me
I loved Barbie movie, me and my friend went to the premiere in Sydney and the whole experience of sitting in the same room with other women, seeing their reactions and reacting with them was the most healing experience I had in 2023. It is truly been a girlhood year.
i would 100% watch a 4 hr video of you talking about the Vampires Diaries!! i'm on my 1st rewatch
i'm sooooo excited to keep watching!!
@@AllySheehan it’s really good! they for sure overstayed their welcome and made 2 seasons too many probably, still worth it tho!
omg the vampire diaries was such a formative experience of my teen years. I was absolutely OBSESSED with this show. Running home from school on Fridays to download the new episode, then spending the whole week dissecting every second of the trailer for the next one. Discovering my first makeup and hair tutorials on CZcams. My first ever eyeshadow palette was Elena inspired and I learned how to use a curling iron because I wanted those Katherine curls. Basically I was always stunned at how beautiful Nina was. Since we have some similar features plus the fact that Nina's Bulgarian (I'm a slavic girl too) I just felt this connection and saw myself in the characters that she played. Also the way the main characters graduated the same year I did felt kinda cool and special.
Ahh good old times
the outfits last year were amazing! I loved the 1989 street style too, but this is 1989 Bad Bitchafied
im on season 5 10 so i finally watched this and loved your analysis on delena and stelena and about her last moments visiting him.. however literally everything changed when the sire bond was created… i will never understand how overlooked that is!!!!
I'm SO happy you mentioned Kelsie Ballerini!! Rolling Up the Welcome Mat and Kelly Clarkson's new album (Chemistry) have singlehandedly helped me through the unimaginable pain of separating from my husband and going no contact with my family this year. They're both heartbreaking but so incredibly healing!!
Thank you so much for the content you make, Ally! You are truly my comfort channel, and I appreciate you immensely!! Have the happiest 2024 possible! Sending all my love from Indiana. 💖✨️💕😘
I heard Half Of My Hometown and Heartfirst on the radio throughout 2021 and 2022 and re-fell in love with her music after being fairly out of it since Love Me Like You Mean It (it gave country girl Beyonce vibes, I loved that song). I'm so glad you and Kelsea have been able to find a means to prosper.
ally I NEED you to enter your Maisie Peters era in 2024!!! start with the good witch deluxe album (the deluxe tracks will change your life) and then work backwards through her music (rockstar & blonde slap)
OMG
I love Jensen McRae and have been following her for 3 years. She's so good.
My ego dies at the end is my favourite song.
ally, can i say how proud i am of you? i've been here since 2021 and i almost feel like your friend. you always spread such a light in my heart and in the world, and being here is an absolutely gift. hope your 2024 will be even greater.
i guess my favorite moment at this year was attending for The Eras Tour last month. it was my first time flying and i even went with my beautiful squad. i can't be more happy just being there for the first time
wow thank you so much!!!
i’m so nostalgic because of this video. this december marks 10 years since i started watching the vampire diaries, and at that point i was 12 and the show was in its fourth season and taylor was in the original red era. now, i’m 22 and i just bought tickets for my first taylor concert.
time to rewatch tvd :)
FINALLY!!! i’m so glad someone is talking about how barbie wasn’t as good as we all thought it would be. With the insane amount of promo the movie had before its release, i think everyone went into the cinema thinking it would be a fun, girlhood, pink movie and it was just a bit all over the place? like you said, there wasn’t one clear plot and also i don’t think it targeted a large amount of ages? idk but i did still live for the pink summer of barbie 🩷
anyways, lovedddd all of your videos and content this year ally! so excited for next year and the eras tour!!!
1:02 ally, we love taylor content because it’s so much fun getting into the taylor swift school, but WE LOVE hearing you talk about everything else as well. 2000’s pop culture, movies, tv, music, girl talk, getting real with anxiety, travels, fashion and so on. any tier ranking you’d like to make or anything at all you want to talk about, we’re here 💜 thank you for an amazing 2023 🥰
I’m a teenager and some of my fav memories this year was 1. Seeing my best friend in London during the summer (she moved away 2 years ago) 2. Finding out I’d gotten era’s tickets for 2024 ❤❤I’m a new swiftie (only became one two years ago) so it’ll be my first Taylor Swift concert and I can’t wait 😭❤️🥰
ahhh so excited for you!!
@@AllySheehan ❤️❤️
I loved your perspective on Delena. I think Stelena is literally the first love kinda of thing, especially if you are a person who lives in the countryside outside of a large metropolis or capital, you know exactly how important first love is for those from the countryside. Because it represents that comfort that the passion will always remain innocent and correct. Like: "we are never out of style". While Delena represents your second love, that love that arrives by opening all the doors without you having the control of deciding to close them or not. It's not always ideal or what you imagined for yourself, but I think that's the beauty of the second love. Because the image we project for ourselves is not always what will take us forward. And it also represents (Delena) that love that each phase gets stronger. (King Of My Heart). I also just wanted to say one thing regardless of Delena or Stelena, at the end of the day Defan will always be the best ship. 💋💞 The sibling relationship between Stefan and Damon is a very beautiful thing to see. And does anyone think Ally will love Hope and Lizzie's friendship? I think this duo will be something she will love to see on screen.
Video games by Jensen McRae was so beautifully breathtaking. Also, I love hearing your thoughts on the Barbie movie. Thank you for praising Kelsea and Rolling Up the Welcome Mat cause the lyrics were just so gut wrenching but hopeful at points as well.
I also fell in love with Kelsea Ballerini this year and that album! I really feel like this was the year of strong independent women as well! I feel like I’ve gotten closer this year to my girl besties then ever and we’ve connected a lot over powerful female artists, eras tour films, friendship bracelets, hot pink nails, bows in our hair, romance books, and so so much more girly things! I loved it!
Hey Kaylee🌹🌹
How are you doing..??
here's to more of that in 2024!
okay but we NEED a final review of tvd when you finished it and updates!!!! and if you're finished you need to watch the originals! its soo amazing 💘
Girlll, Alarick was ALWAYS my fav character in TVD and Caroline was a close second. Wow, thinking about Alarick always hits me right in the heart 🫣
I was watching the show as it was airing and stopped around season 6 but you actually got me excited about it again. I might rewatch and actually finish it this year - thank you! 💓
My new year's resolution is to just hug ppl more and be myself and make genuine authentic connections with ppl
Ahhh omg omg I'm so excited to watch this! It looks like it's going to be so so much fun!
you were the best thing of this year
thank you for being the constant light on the other side of my screen 💗 wishing you the best year next year!
You're so amazing Ally
my heart grows 3 sizes when i see ally’s posted a new video
aaahh this was just what i needed

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH ALLY!!!
I have been going through your YT videos and I have never found a channel more entertaining than yours!!! I love to see it

starter pack for watching ally: this intro
love u girlie ❤️❤️
Heyy ally, I hope you had an amazing year, and if you didn’t have the best, I hope next year will bring you joy and hope!! You made my year 1000 times better every time I watch your videos! 💕
I actually really loved this
accidentally clicking in to your midnights ranking video was one of the best accidents for me this year💅
the universe led you here to me
Ahhh so excited to see where next year will take you Ally! You’re a star ⭐️ 🫶🏼
Okay TOTALLY agree with your Barbie take! I have been feeling the exact same way about it but couldn’t find the words to describe it! I definitely also wanted more of a Barbie identity journey, but I feel like since they were trying to fit so much into the film we didn’t get a lot of depth of anything
i’m on night shift, and this is going to get me through the shift! love your videos ally!!!!
ilysm😭
the best parts of 2023 for me were: 1. I got to preform 3 amazing plays this year 2. my whole eras tour trip. my childhood bestie and her Family flew across the USA and we hiked and left Friday and then saw Taylor Swift that Sunday. it was a dream and I'm so in love with what I wore. 3. making friendship bracelets. 4. BARN DANCES. 5. my cousins 6. I fell in love with a new youth group. 7. top albums were definitely "emails I can't send" by Sabrina, "bewitched" by laufey, and "snow angel" by Renee which I actually learned about from you. 8. the joke and excitement every time mother ally Sheehan posted
What I really appreciate from your videos is that they really feel like a girl talk between friends, thank you so much and hope you have a lovely new year! ❤
Love ur channel ❤
Yes! Ally posted! Always looking forward to another post from our queen. Love you Ally! Happy Eras tour and 2024!🫶
omg yes i love gretta and positive spin!! also so glad i found your channel this year
Yasssss, this is such a good video. Really hope I get to meet you at the concert! Me and my bestie are going to Melbourne night 1!! You are so inspirational 🤍 Thanks for a great year. I love friends aswell, such a classic tv show!
your videos are so entertaining and as a swiftie/ directioner i trully do apreatie your dedication
Love your content ally thanks for the thoughts and insight towards Taylor harry and miley!!!!happy New year!💚
Girl I need to hear you talk about the Hunger Games🫶🏻
Fr it’s a need❤
I love your videos Ally! I was so shocked to hear we have the same favourite perfume it's amazinggggg
I love how intimate these videos feel. I'm so here for just about anything you post, Ally.
Also, you're not alone with the Barbie movie; I had the exact same thoughts. ❤
Omg. I felt the same way about the Barbie movie. It was great but was missing something for me personally. The big message seemed a bit watered down but I suppose to a lot of people who don't have those types of conversations regularly, maybe it was a big light bulb moment; I imagine for a lot of men for sure.
I loved this! I love glow recipe and enjoyed following along with your adventures on insta this year.
I also watched TVD this year for the first time, and actually I was watching season 4 when Speak Now TV came out💜💜💜
I became a swiftie when Midnights was released, and I'm so happy, Taylor's music changed a lot of things about me and my life, 2023 was really something
I feel like this year gave us back our girlhood, 'cause it was ours first, but I can't wait to see what the future holds...
Happy New Year, Ally. I hope you have a great year
loved this type of video from you! ❤
Thank you!!
Cheesy, but 100% true. One of my 2023 favorites has been your channel. Happy New Year, Ally! ❤
Things I didn’t expect out of 2023:
The Traylor (Tayvis, Swelce)
Romance
And Harry Styles shaving his head. 🫠
Me literally making my vision board while watching!!☺Yes to everything! Hits different to how to live gets me in my FEELS 🥺Happy New Years Y'all!!
One of my 2023 favs was have found your channel in march!!!!
Aww you thanking us was so so cute!! Thank YOU for putting phenomenal content out for us to watch!! You're literally so amazing Ally. Oh and thank you for being my swiftie bestie (cuz I don't have any of those irl) ❤❤❤
Ally I found you this year and you're such a wonderful ray of light in so many of our lives. You truly make me feel like we're friends catching up when I watch your videos and it's such a joy 🥰❤️
Love when you do these videos, 2023 was a good year Taylor wise. Love you!❤
And Taylor really took a stance and stepped into total power.
Me, finding your channel this year is my favourite thing this year! I was going through some shitty times, but every time I felt down I would put one of your videos and your energy instantly lifted me up!
Thank you from the bottom of heart for your amazing work!
I wish you and the entire community a Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉 May your dreams come true!
❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
I love your videos so so much!!! Whenever THE Taylor Swift does something I check if you gave your thoughts/feelings/emotions about it
I LOVED Jury Duty!!! And Kelsea!! You’re a 2023 favorite new find!
one of my favorite shows this year (that didn't actually come out this year) is the wilds. I will literally never shut up about this show; I'm trying to turn everyone into a fan! It's amazing- it's written directed and starring women!!! I love that show sm
the one tree hill paralel!!!! :D now i get why i am so invested :D
I Iove you, Ally - thank you for sharing so much with us this year. Can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us!!!
