Taylor is THE best. You should check out her Grammys performance of Cardigan/August/Willow 💘💘💘
This video actually picks up from the end of her Cardigan video (off the sister album to Evermore, Folklore)
Evermore was the second of the two surprise albums Taylor dropped during COVID, the first being Folklore. They are both folky and have 90’s indie rock elements. She worked with Aaron Dessner from The National for both these albums. Also, that golden thread that connects her to the gentleman in the video is a nod to the Folklore song Invisible String. I think you’ll enjoy these two albums. I also think you’ll enjoy delving into her back catalog.
Taylor wrote Evermore and her other album, Folklore, during the quarantine. They both have a lot of songs about unusual perspectives of love. It would be nice if you react to Cardigan, August and Betty, from Folklore. She created a trilogy with them, it tells a story from a point of view of three different people, her narrative is insanely good. No body no crime is a fun song too, is from Evermore and have an interesting narrative as well
Just throwing here some songs/music videos/live videos you should check:
- Cardigan (actually the video for willow is the part 2 of the story, cardigan is the part 1)
- Out of the Woods (my favorite music video of her career)
- The Man
- I Did Something Bad (live at the reputation Stadium Tour) - both The Man and IDSB are about misogyny and male privilege, but written with two VERY different takes.
- All Too Well (live at the reputation Stadium Tour) - probably her best written lyrics, EVER.
- New Romantics (live at the 1989 World Tour) - a very fun and upbeat song she wrote about her fans. it warms my heart.
Hey new to your channel. Nice reaction. Glad to see this. Always nice to see new to Taylor reactions, I'm a new to Taylor myself during pandemic. Here are some things to know.
1. She writes all her songs. She is a lyricist. Aaron Dessner (The National, Big Red Machine) produced and wrote the track, she wrote the melodies and lyrics. She always writes the lyrics.
2. I had only heard her radio hits as well, I did the deep dive and realized those are NOT her best. Same for me, I kept hearing about her and just didn't get it. So, I went down that rabbit hole and now I get it.
3. She does all genres, which keeps it interesting. Country, country-rock, country-pop, pop, pop with RnB influences, and alternative/indie.
4. Cardigan is the companion video to Willow. The songs are not connected, but the MVs are. She directed them both. She also directed the Man, and was the first woman to win best director.
5. Folklore won AOTY last year and evermore is it's sister album. These albums focus on lyrics, storytelling, which are her strengths.
6. She was signed at age 14. She is a songwriter. Period. When critics didn't think a teenager could be writing the songs, she answered with her 3rd album Speak Now in which she wrote entirely herself at age 18-19. Critics never said another word.
If you want to go down this road, its a long road. She has nearly 200 songs in her catalog. Please do it though. I found it very rewarding when I decided to do it. But, I'd suggest doing it in some organized fashion. Start at the end, move backwards or start at the beginning and move forward. Or go through one album at a time. Her albums are concepts usually, and they are meant to be listened to all at once, not a few here or there. Since you started with Willow, which is on her latest album evermore, maybe that would be a good place to start. Evermore is known for its storytelling, lyrics, indie-style with Aaron Dessner producing most of it, and it is alternative/indie with pop influences. It is the companion to folklore. Evermore is fall/winter while folklore is spring/summer. evermore explores the way relationships end, all types of endings, all the facets that go with endings. folklore is about resolutions, talking through something, apologizing, communicating through something. I hope this is something you decide to do. Best listened to with headphones and paying attention to lyrics.
She has a nice voice, it can be powerful, but not on these albums. They are very soft, lower register, just very soft. Other albums like 1989 and Reputation will focus more on more powerful vocals.
Got here as soon as my swiftie senses detected a potential admirer of Taylor's music. Looking forward to more ✌
The Taylor song metalheads most gravitate to is Haunted, so I highly recommend it!
Yes she has been a genius songwriter and storyteller for a long time.
omg this is so exciting. i think she is an amazing artist and such an incredible lyricist. she writes all of her songs.
she does have a lot of pop songs but she’s definitely not just a pop singer
folklore and evermore were both released in 2020. folklore in july and evermore in december. i absolutely love both of those albums.
so folklore is an album of stories that taylor imagined, if you’re interested cardigan, august and betty (from folklore) are connected and you should listen to them in that order.
also the video for cardigan is connected to willow. willow starts where cardigan ends so you’d be watching them out of order but that’s ok
Taylors writing is actually very clear and relatable. I love that one track called Cornelia Street f. ex.. or paper rings.
Her entire folklore and evermore albums and also her Red album.
I’m in desperate need for a new reactor for Taylor Swift. Please start with the album Folklore, then Evermore. Love your reaction. ❤️
Taylor's music is a genre. You might like her Reputation album, but if you decide to go all-in then you should start either at the beginning of her career or from her last album "evermore" and work your way back.
Also any song from her long pond studio sessions are awesome
Oh yes! When you do Folklore reactions please do the longpond session along with the studio version! Either on their own or a double video video!
I'm so excited you're reacting to Taylor!!! This album is my personal favorite at the moment. I would LOOOOVE a Taylor journey for you and I really think you're going to have so much fun. However, Taylor's albums come in eras. You CAN jump around, of course, but being such a Taylor virgin experiencing each mood or story all together as it's meant to be listened to would be quite a cool thing to do. You could even start right here with Evermore and then go backwards. Or start at the beginning and watch Taylor grow up. Her lyrics have always been so personal to her it really is kind of like doing that. And would be really interesting to watch you do and talk about. Just an idea nugget 😁
Taylor Swift is one of the best lyricists/songwriters in music today. It’s absolutely incredible how many gems there are in every album. You should react to her Artist of the Decade AMA live performance!! It takes you through every era of her music up until folklore and is also an impressive show of her vocal stamina
I'm mostly a rock guy (some of my favorite bands are The Police, G&R¡s, Nirvana, Oasis) but Taylor has been my favorite non-rock artists since 2007. Her lyrics are wicked good and she writes some of the cachiest tunes ever.
Most people will tell you to check out Folklore songs and Evermore songs because those are her newest albums, most songs in those albums are amazing but I will give tell you a few songs from other albums that are amazing:
-Cruel Summer (from the Lover album)
-Dear John (from the Speak Now album, has a super cool guitar all the way through)
-State of Grace (from the Red album, is a stadium rock kinda song).
Love the reaction bro. You should definitely look at Cardigan next. The music video is connected with this one although the one in Cardigan comes first.
Now cardigan and August
Yes! "cardigan", then "august", and then "betty".
Taylor is such a lyrical and melody queen! There isn’t a single song or music video of hers she doesn’t have a say in. Check out “my tears ricochet”. It’s about the betrayal of her previous label. She related it to a divorce !!!! They were selling her songs behind her back. Hence why she needed to buy her own music and now she’s re recording her previous albums
Taylor's "thing" is that she writes all of her songs, she is an incredible poet and even in her more pop tracks the lyrics are still there.
In her third album Speak Now she wrote it all by herself without anyone else after some critics doubted that she actually writes her own songs and the album is a banger!
I think you should react to the music video of Cardigan. It is from her album folklore which came out a few months before evermore, and the music video for Willow picks up right where the Cardigan music video ended so it's really cool and i think you'll like it🖤
You should check out Cornelia Street Live from Paris 💖💖💖💖💖
Please react to Champagne problems next.Lyrics are amazing.
She's releasing RED album Taylor's version November 12 so defs check that out after November. Especially All Too Well probably one of her best songs lyrically.
Love this! Check out Cardigan it pairs with this video🥰
Thank you for enjoying and being opening minded towards Taylor. esp. when you know nothing of her music besides her biggest hits! because her singles (the big hits) are usually her worst songs of each album (except willow and Blank Space). but yeah, Taylor writes all of her songs herself (she wrote her entire 3rd studio album by herself between the ages of 18-19 to prove to critics that she's the one writing all of the lyrics and even there are more than 1 credit on her songwriters, they're usually the producers, cause they even say she's the one writing all the lyrics. i'm so pumped for more Taylor reactions. folklore and evermore are albums she wrote songs, not necessarily about herself or her life, but imagined, made up stories or songs about people she hadn't met and read in the books about them, or people she wished she had never met (that's how Taylor described it). there are songs about her. but they very poetic. here are some recommendations:
exile: czcams.com/video/o5SQIECedTY/video.html
champagne problems: czcams.com/video/wMpqCRF7TKg/video.html
marjorie (a song Taylor wrote as a tribute to her grandmother, who was an opera singer. Taylor added her grandmother's vocals at the end of the song after she found her grandma old records: czcams.com/video/hP6QpMeSG6s/video.html

happiness: czcams.com/video/tP4TTgt4nb0/video.html
More Taylor, please! Taylor is a great lyricist. I would suggest ‘cardigan’ next. Aaron sent her the track and she wrote it in a few hours.
you should react to "nobody, no crime", "the one", "champagne problems" and of course the iconic trio *"cardigan"+"betty"+"august"* (they are about a love triangle, each song is about the perspective of one of those 3 people)
Loved your reaction
IM SO EXCITEEEEED
Would love for you to dive into her latest 2 new albums: folklore & evermore.
She worked on her evermore/folklore albums with dessner (and others)
Would love to see you're reaction to lover. It's one of my favorite songs from her!
I think you would like I did something bad or don’t blame me from the reputation tour, a much different vibe but I think they’re some of her best performances
You need to check more of her
she wrote it in a track sent by Aaron❤
Loved the reaction ❤️ and yeah
Taylor Swift is known for her songwriting
React to Reputation album. That’s Taylor’s closest album to metal. It’s shows dark pop night time big production music vibe.
Her and Joe Alwyn a.k.a William Bowery wrote 2 songs on Folklore
Exile Feat. Bon Iver
Betty
He also produced
Exile
My Tears Ricochet
August
This Is Me Trying
Illicit Affairs
Betty
On Evermore they wrote
Champagne Problems
Coney Island Feat. The National
Title track Evermore
Joe finds it flattering that swift writes about him and a lot of the songs on Reputation, Lover, Invisible String, Peace and The Lakes on Folklore are about him
Maybe you should listen to Cardigan first then Willow.
Folklore and Evermore have the same "vibe" and style... In my opinion it's her best work... I think you're gonna like it!
Your reactions are one of my favorites... I would love for you to react to more Taylor..
I just subscribed so I'm not entirely sure what you've already reacted to... but I Highly recommend 3 Carrie Underwood songs. Meaningful: Little Toy Guns.(you'll love the video). Emotional: Temporary Home. Inspirational: Champion Ft. Ludacris. There's more but I don't want to spam you with all things Carrie. Ok One more.... Cry Pretty, that hits me hard, I always hide my tears as a woman because... well the song says it all. Carly Pierce- Next Girl. Last Ill say for now... is Drunk and I don't wanna go home- Miranda ft Elle king.
came for your older eminem reactions but would LOVE to see some more taylor reactions!
Gold rush, champagne problems, and tis the damn season please
More taylor reaction from folklore and evermore pls. Subscribedd
She is just so great! She loves using metaphors and all the englishy things in her lyrics. And she really has fantastic lyrics. Would love for you to check out the rest of her album this song came from, Evermore. 🖤
You should react more of her stuff... Specially the folklore album!
PLEASE, GO OFF ON TAYLOR CONTENT!!! 🔥🎧😉 I promise you’ll be bewildered by her. She is not to be simplified by her popular radio hits.
Definitely check out song from Folklore and Evermore. Her album Speak now is more country with rock inspirations but the lyrics are some of her best
Do more Taylor!!
You might like Reputation album from her
React to cowboy like me from her evermore album
You should check out her songs for the Hunger Games soundtrack: Eyes Open and Safe & Sound.
she will go down in history as one of the best songwriters of all time and best performers. she is now directing her own videos. only person to ever win album of the year in 3 different genres. over 300 awards won (47? this year alone) ..oh and most ama awards of all time (passing michael Jackson's 26 awards) with 32 awards. If you want to see Taylor at her best watch this czcams.com/video/LE3Te3iGJy8/video.html

React to the entire Folklore and Evermore albums 😭😭😭
And work your way back
