Literally😭😭😭
@@MollyThompsonx_ she gagged him (and us)
i hate how much this album was about him like where did he come from lol gob SMACKED
@@AllTheArtsy i mean they known each other for 10 years and im sure there is more history to it than the 2 months they dated publicly
@@camilaniram yeah duh hahaha
ALL DAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR POV!! 🎉
Ahhhh I hope you enjoy 🙏🫶
I love this so much , living for Taylor content
Ahhh thank you so much for watching 🥹🫶🫶
You are soo right about the reputation vault lyric!!👀❤️
👀👀👀👀
my timezone lines up so that midnight (US East or Central, is it?) is lunch, so every single Taylor drop since folklore, i have been EATING in at least 2 sense of the word hahaha
Love this video Molly. I listened to the whole album tonight and it’s so good. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for this!
💖💖💖
After my initial skim through on release of the album then actually listening to the anthology I physically felt like I’d been on a rollercoaster ride. It must have been so cathartic for Taylor to have got this out & been like phew! That was a lot to have corralling around in her mind. Hugs from Lesa in NSW 🇦🇺❤️
Loved this vid Molie, my sissy and I have been listening to all her new traks all day long. I feel sonically the songs are so melancholie and heavy but still 100% pure vibes!!! Agree that my brain needs to catch up to my ears, i cried too listening to So Long London. Thanks for another fab vid, looking forward to ur next vid xxx
Ahh thank you so much for watching!! It’s definitely a lot to digest but I LOVE the vibes
Yes, the album is like the last half of her discography. Definitely Midnights, Folklore + Evermore and Reputation 🩶
100%, and they’re my top 4 albums so I think sonically this makes sense in my head, but I do get why a lot of people aren’t initially as keen on a first listen as it is a lot to take in!! But it’s a work of ART!!!
Ive always loved how much of a fan of hers u are 😊 u can see the happiness her music brings u ❤️ hope u enjoy getting to know her songs off this new album 💖 xx
Ah this is so so kind of you to say, thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹
@MollyThompsonx_ will u buy the album on CD as well 💿ull have to update us in a vlog which are ur fav tracks once uve had a good listen to it a couple of times 👍💕xx
The story telling in this album really sounds like therapy to her, like she needed to write these songs for herself, not for the money or the fame but to help her heal and close the doors of her past griefs
Lucy Dacus is a singer who’s also part of the band Boygenius and she’s a mutual friend of Taylor and Matty
As in „Lucy“ in the sind tortured poets department
Thank you!!🙏🙏
Stayed up all night bc where I live it came out at 12:00 am and listened to it while getting ready and it’s amazing
You are gorgeous!! Love the accent and your reaction ❤
Ahhh thank you so much for watching!!
I am going to need a lot of time to process this album. There is so much to it. I can't do this. Taylor is so talented, so amazing
Great video love the channel
Thank you so much for watching!!
THIS WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO 😭🤍
Ahhhh thank you so much🥹🥹🥹🫶
I’m so happy you did a reaction video!!!
Writing this comment as I watch having listened a day after release with my swiftie best friend (we waited to be together) so bare with and if it’s super long and stuff you already know I apologise and totally get if you don’t read it all.
Okay so yeah a lot of swifties are unpacking the album in full BUT as you’re a New Romantics stan and someone who heard it live here’s a (not so) fun little lyric parallel for you we noticed
“Please leave me stranded it’s so romantic” to “how dare you leave me safe and stranded” in the bridge of Down Bad 🥺🥺💔💔 I was shook and it broke me and my bestie.
Also yes it’s okay to cry at So Long London that song 💔💔
In But Daddy I Love Him in response to your thoughts about the baby lyric, on reflection I definitely think it’s a dig at the public and how she knows how invested the media are about her relationship and weight changes/ pregnancy rumours etc
The way you pronounced loml as if it’s a word😂😂 I love that
The ad-lib at the end of I can do it with a broken heart made me DIE it was so funny.
The lyrics regarding the pulse in the smallest man who ever lived reminded me of You’re Losing Me “I can’t find a pulse my heart won’t start anymore”
Clara Bow is the lucky Ones sister it speaks about the downside of fame and Clara was a silent movie actress
I loveeeee so high school and YESSS the 00´s vibe is a slayyy
I love what you said about the prophecy so many people only talk about Taylor in relation to her money. My bf literally asked about physical copies when I said she released the second half and if fans are gonna have to buy the album again 🙄 poor Taylor :((
So many of the songs call back to her previous works bc she said she started it as soon as she handed in midnights and I feel midnights was as a result of the re-records and I love the manuscript for that!
Top 5
I can do it with a broken heart
The tortured poets department
So high school
Who’s afraid of little old me
So long London
I love this album what are your top 5?
I listened to the first half last night now I'm going to listen to the other half this afternoon
Enjoyyyyy!!!💖💖💖
The Tortured Poets Department and Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? are my favourites atm as I haven't listened to all the songs yet. There are too many to listen to, lol!!
This album is Matty Heally coded all over it!! Swifties were delusional not to see how obsessed they were with each other. MGK&Megan Fox intensity… Taylor loves Bad Boys!! She knows it’s not healthy, but she’s a tortured poet and they don’t like normal… They despise it actually… She has to keep this good American girl facade in order to keep her career but it’s not what she craves deep down… She can’t be her true self and that’s a torture… She likes them twisted, she likes them dark…
matty is a racist btw!
Great reaction, as always, love your take on things. I can't place your accent though and that distracts me where is it from? From a fellow Brit (Manc) Swiftie.
Hahaha I’m from East Yorkshire!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰🥰
'So long, London' was my first listen as I was intrigued but 'I can do it with a broken heart' is my fave for now. Have to give it a few more listens to get used to the vibe. My question is though, I wonder what she is calling this new era 🤔
I’m just so obsessed with Who’s afraid of little old me? It’s soooo reputation coded and kind of aggressive!! In this album she’s so explicit about her feelings, her grief and anger, and I hope it’s a real therapy for her cause all this situation with Matty is awful…
The lyric about her having a baby in but daddy I love him caught me so off guard
No same I was like ???? SORRY
Which song ?
I felt like my heart was ripped out my chest and put back in
So real
UK swifties were not awake enough to process TTPD and then she drops another 15 tracks! Blondie we need to sleep!
Regardless of music taste and personal TS favs, I think everyone can hear how much SHE needed to write this album. This was for her, not the fans, not the charts…she needed to let it all out. Lyrically some of her best - it is poetry, we all needed the lyrics on screen 😂
Sonically and as a whole, I’m not sure if this is an automatic number 1 album for every swiftie. The mix of Folkmore & Midnights sound makes sense for the topics still being discussed, and for her to let it all out before moving forward. But I think a completely new sound would be well received as and when she decides to start fresh. 🥰
I do agree with this, I think as an entirely it’s a lot to consume to automatically jump to number 1 - I think she has the automatic support of her fans which means any album she releases will usually be record breaking without it needing to be sonically cohesive necessarily - I will be interested to see what happens fan wise over the next few weeks though!! 🫶
Terrified I’m going to eras London n1 and we have 31 new songs unlocked as potential surprise songs 😭 my chances of getting to hear daylight is significantly smaller
Not gonna lie, I'm a little lukewarm on this album at first listen because the writing style being rambly and not really in the pocket just doesn't capture me when it comes to Taylor, at first. I know in like 3 weeks this would be my favorite album, like what happened to folklore (altough Red still remains supreme ok dont get me wrong!)
My top 5 after first listen are:
1. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
2. The Black Dog
3. Guilty as Sin?
4. loml
5. The Albatross
I do understand this it’s definitely A LOT to digest on first listen I feel i came away from it like ???? But I did with evermore and folklore too & they’re solidly in my top 3 albums now🙏🙏🙏
Can someone fill me in on the themes on religious criticism?
Patti Smith is a recording artist
I actually didn’t get as far as googling her name & my mind was in overdrive at this point hahaha; thank you for correcting me🤣🫶
She is incredible! I just assumed everyone had listened to at least Horses.
Glad Taylor has a nod to Travis with her song Alchemy ❤
ME TTTOOOOO!!!
Matty and Taylor have been close friends for over ten years. Matty said in a previous interview when asked if they had ever dated that with their schedules it just never happened. Then last year they dated for 4 weeks. It was obvious they were both into each other but the toxic element of her fans really were horrible to them both. Sending Taylor a petition warning her she had to split from him and sending Matty’s family death threats and openly telling him to O.D. She knew that Matty was a former drug user and went into rehab but he’s been clean for years. Some of her fans are saying Matty ghosted her but people close to him said that for the good of his mental health, which he struggles with and her career he left. It wasn't what she wanted but really he did it thinking he was saving her career as her fans was so against him. If you look at interviews etc after the split it’s obvious he handled the break-up badly. I think the album is about many things. There are references to Joe, she is angry with Matty and angry at her fans for trying to dictate her life. She was struggling with failed relationships, the demands made on her etc. she was unhappy about a lot of things. She said the songs took two years to write so it’s not a album about Matty as they dated in 2023 and before that they were close. I think she added him onto it. I hope one day she can write a happy album instead of about failed relationships. Both are happy with new partners and I hope the fans stop bullying Matty because some of the things I’ve read today are disgusting. Even after her calling them out 😔😔
Ngl I was driving home thinking I realllllly hope molly does a vid on this because I need someone to have a breakdown with 😂
Hahahahaha honestly it’s like therapy filming these videos coz nobody in my real life (that I’m with at 5am at least) GETS IT🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MollyThompsonx_ right like they’re swifties but not SWIFTIES 😂 ughhhh actual therapy, obsessed with this album, Florida and I can do this with a broken heart are absolute bops 🫶🏼
Hi Molly
"Taylor Swifting hard". It's official, Taylor Swift is now a verb.
🤣😭 no other way to describe it though
I’m 24, my birthday is March 24th 2000!
Lucy is in reference to Lucy Dacus, she dissed him on Twitter bc she isn’t fond of him but she’s a part of boygenius, which is a huge influence on this album, I believeee
And I’m like 90% sure Phoebe Bridgers is on backing vocals in The Black Dog and the dog/ my dog is a huge boygenius/ Phoebe Bridgers reference i hope 😭
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💙💙💙
@@MollyThompsonx_ 💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜
5 AM ! Bro...
You are missing out on so much from not listening to Patti Smith. She's a legend!
Nectar
I like Taylor Swift's songs but don't focus on the lyrics, just like the tunes and music.
That’s absolutely fair enough though!! Music can be enjoyed on so many levels!’
Taylor does say to have a dictionary while you listen to her albums
She wasn’t lying🤣🤣🤣
most of yall are American right? is an extensive vocab not common? because English is my 2nd language, and im nowhere near technical expert, i suppose business-level fluent? but ive never had this issue of needing to look up words. is that just a meme? (seriously asking, thanks)
@@AllTheArtsy the reason why you might need a dictionary is a lot of the words in Taylor's song might have several different meanings so if you know all the different meanings you could understand the songs better.
6:24 oh just wait girly 😅
Literally💀💀💀
We’re half way through… lol 🤡🤡🤡
No LITERALLY💀💀💀
As a swifttie Music is way disappointing 😢
UKKKK
Reaction :👎🏻
Reacion to your comment:😂
I'm so disappointed. This album ain't it at all. I love her but it's boring
Oh really!! I definitely think it’s more complex on first listen than any of her other work but I’d say preserve & listen again before you rule it not 💖
Yeah 😢
If you want to know torture, be a Christian in Iran or Nigeria. I hate the whining. And G-D is an awful awful curse, so it is considered a bad phrase in America- at least by Christians. It worries me for England if pissed is considered a bad word and G-D is not. I truly feel sad for her. Where is the hope in her music? I don’t see any. I used to like her music.
Taylor Swift 🙄
taylor swift!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
womp womp go cry about her
I was waiting for you to post this was even going to message u on insta
Ahhh hahaha hope you enjoy!!
