Champagne problems at the Eras tour if you want a stripped back piano song 👌🏻

And the band is live, too. Her guitarist has been with her forever and he’s a genius.

Taylor said she wanted this song to sound like church or gospel in nature. She def take us to church on this one!

Who thought this counted as stripped down 🤦‍♀️ In the Paris Live mini concert for the album Lover, she does two songs with just her and her guitar on the songs Death By A Thousand Cuts and Cornelia Street. That is quite a large venue and she does really well.

Before I even watch the reaction, I am curious how they gave you 'Don't Blame Me' as a stripped down Taylor Song. I would have thought they would give you a Clip of 'Tolerate It' or 'Willow' or 'My Tears Riccochet' from the Eras tour. But lets take a watch at your reaction.

she has 4 backup singers, also singing live on this. Her band is in the staging, second deck, behind all the screens -- they come out a bit later. If you want something "stripped back" look for something labeled "acoustic." She usually does some acoustic songs in every concert (except things like Jingle Bell Balls); also, she did a fairly stripped back version of some of Red in a session called Live on the Seine (filmed on a riverboat in Paris with college students) or her VH1 Songwriters session (look for Harvey Mudd as the venue - VH1 does _not_ have it, which is super annoying). Her BBC Live Lounge Sessions are really good, as well.

Another great reaction from the best Irish bass player ever.

Super awesome reaction. There are so many people that won't give Taylor a chance, sad, right? Glad you did give her a chance.

God, this is one of her greatest live performances ever! I say it all the time when I see it. And I was also front row for this tour in St. Louis. I was out of my mind during this show! Great reaction as well friend!🖤🐍🖤🐍

This was a great reaction! Next time I'll give you a stripped-down performance. She can definitely captivate an audience when it's just her and an instrument. Glad you liked it. 😄

Sorry for the multiple comments, what can I say, it's my adhd 🙈 Yes, she sings live but does reply on some backtrack work. But the awesome thing is that she also allows her backup singers to really support her when needed. You can hear in the BBC Live Lounge Sessions a bunch of her tracks from Lover how good her singers and her band is. And she's kept mostly the exact same backup singers and band members throughout her entire career. You can see when you watch live footage that Swift is very collaborative in her approaches to live performance 😊

The beginning of the verses makes me think of MGMT. Love this performance so much.

Hello, I enjoyed your reaction! I saw someone recommend stripped down versions of songs to you. If you’re in the market, here are a few good ones: Wildest Dreams (Grammy Museum performance - this one is just Swift with an electric guitar) All Too Well (Grammy performance- I recommend the one not labeled rehearsal) OR All Too Well (Reputation Tour- the one above is on a piano with some backup. The version from the tour is just her and an acoustic guitar) For something more along the lines of this one (i.e. epic) you might like Intro/Ready For It (also from the Reputation Tour). Enjoy!

Oh she got ya😋 For stripped down, I humbly suggest ”Death By A Thousand Cuts” in Paris in the English Speak channel. Her and a guitar, Beautiful cinematography too. Then, Daylight from the same show.

She has awesome back up singers and always sings live…..

Taylor’s later catalog is very Lana Del Rey. They share a producer in Jack Antinoff and I think she admires Lana’s writing a lot. You would probably like Taylor’s last album, Midnights. It’s very indie synth pop and vibey under her signature melodies.

yeah there are a lot of taylor stripped down performances - this is definitely not it lmao. cornelia street (live in paris), champagne problems (the eras tour), you're on your own kid (eras tour), evermore (eras tour), wildest dreams (grammy museum). these are all live performances and i hope you'll be able to find a good recording of the eras tour versions i recommended. but a lot of her fans (myself included) love her stripped back performances better than the studio produced versions :)

Including the long pond studio songs

All singing is live on her tour. Always.

You need to react to the acoustic sections of her tours. I dont know if you misunderstood or if some swifties tricked you. But Rep and Eras have acoustic sets. Also, I love Taylor, and I love Lana ❤ Born to Die is an iconic album!

Oh you def must not have seen the eras tour. She performs to over 95000 ppl and some songs are stripped where it’s just her and a piano and a guitar and it’s captivating

For the eras tour, she was on a treadmill doing her full set over and over for months till she could do it without running out of breath

False God the SNL version. Highly recommend.

FULL SCOTT, CUTE SWEATER FELLA

lol the beginning of this saying you wanted a stripped back performance and find out they recommended don’t blame me. It’s one of my favorite performances, but it’s not one her stripped back ones at all. Tolerate it live is beautiful

Taylor was raised on a Christmas tree farm until she was in her very young teen years.

Lol, this is definitely not stripped down...try her song False God, live at SNL

I would love to see you react to "Death by a Thousand Cuts", "The Archer" or "Cornelia Street" all of them live from Paris. It's just her, a guitar, and an audience. "Dancing with our Hands Tied" from the Reputation Tour is also just her, a guitar, and a stadium sized audience. And lastly, my favorite is "New Years Day/Long Live" also from Reputation Tour...just her playing piano while singing.

She performs all too well at the Grammys playing the piano or lover while playing the piano. Both are great

Ok so here's the story behind the mysterious rock album. We believe that after releasing 1989 in 2014, Taylor started writing a rock-focused album called Karma. This would have been released in 2016 based on the two-year schedule she had followed up until that point. But following the release of 1989, there was all the Kanye/Kim drama and the media assault on Taylor and she disappeared from the spotlight for a while before unexpectedly releasing Reputation in 2017. We believe that due to everything that happened in 2015/2016, she ditched the Karma rock album and instead wrote Reputation to reflect her change in feelings and situation. Evidence: She had always been infusing rock and pop punk influences into her music since the beginning, and during the 1989 tour she experimented big time with reinterpreting her songs with classic hard rock vibes and instrumentation. As for the name, Taylor has dropped repeated hints about Karma, with visual easter eggs in various music videos as well as slyly stating "Karma is real" in an interview.

I'm a huge pop fan and I love all her giant performances from 1989 and Reputation specifically. But for you, I think your next reaction should be Cornelia Street live in Paris (a.k.a. City of Lover Tour). IMO this is the perfect gateway song that bridges an extremely raw unplugged performance with her typical polished pop songwriting. One of my favorites and I bet you'll like it too.

This is more of an imagine dragons x hozier (take me to church) song than lana del rey

"she's definitely singing live" 😅😅😅😅😅

Hi. Can you please react to legendary Russian rock band Kino song Calm night? It's rock music masterpiece! Maybe you will be surprised so great music you never heard. Lot of bloggers from different countries really like this band and song. Now really interesting your reaction too. Original from 80s.

There are always dome songs that she performs on tour that she will strip down to acoustic guitar or piano... Rep tour: Dancing with our hands tied All Too Well New Year's Day Eras: Champagne Problems ... cant think of the others rn

Taylor Swift has broken all records in music history, I am not her fan but respect her highly.

Huh. This one wasn’t in the Taylor playlist. It just showed up on my main feed. …How many have I missed, then? Oops.

Bass player reacts? I see, I see. Another title suggestion: "Solo interrupter reacts"

Tolerate it. ERAs Tour

Wrong song for a striped down one….

You should stop doing Taylor reactions, respectfully. If you only like her in the most ridiculous contexts, (if its a rainy wednesday and the piano is a steinway and the drummer has a third arm, shes just ok... ect) Enough. just accept you dont like her and move on. Its FIIINE. At some point reactors need to stand on their own without relying on swifties to give them views.

Taylor NEVER uses backing tracks. She always sings LIVE.
