Taylor Swift Playlist - kzfaq.info/sun/PLskx6V1EusfRUDAbjCDO5hMT0cBVRx4m-

What I love about this song is that the first time you hear it, you have no idea where it is going.

This is such a great song! She paints the picture so vividly. She also did actually get a boating license when she was 15 lol

What's wild is, while this song is fictional like many of the other songs on this album and its sister album, Taylor actually really did get a boating license when she was 15. 👀

Chris Watts. He killed his 2 beautiful daughters and his pregnant wife. They were expecting a son, Nico. He was convicted of killing all 3 people and the unborn child. The way he did it was so sickening and vile. The wife had a best friend that had the police there on day 1. She’s a true hero for her friends justice.

I've commented this on other reactions to this song... Taylor wrote an entire Dateline TV episode into a song!

This song shows Taylor's genius. I love your reactions.

The first listen to this song is crazy 😂

Honesty is the only way to go. Glad you enjoyed the storytelling aspect of this song. Songwriting is at the very core of who Taylor Swift is as an artist, and we love when reactors pay attention to her lyrics. It's always a strategy to show new listeners some live performance before diving into the lyrical side of her. Another song that showcases her amazing lyricism is "My Tears Ricochet" - from the Long Pond Sessions. The song is about her masters being sold to her biggest enemy, and you can tell it affects her emotionally while singing it.

You are talking about Chris Watts, that documentary is called something like the Man Next Door or something like that. Yeah, that dude was an entire monster.

so you know, Taylor was a huge crime show fan; back around 2009, CSI brought her in for an episode (as the murdered teen); she named one of her cats for a tv detective (Olivia Benson). The boating license detail is probably real; her parents had a dock at their house in Hendersonville (Nashville suburb).

This song gives me so much imagery. I love this one a lot!

this song reminds me of a more modern version of goodbye earl.

This is a murder ballad. If you're not familiar with the genre, I definitely recommend a real deep dive into it! It'll put this song in a lot more context; So, murder ballads are, as the name implies, ballads about a murder. They follow a traditional ballad format, meaning that they’re a narrative song about an event, and they generally tell the story of events leading up to a murder - normally a dude singing about killing a woman, often “the love of his life,” for some perceived, typically false, crime. (There’s a LOT of “stalking is love” behavior in them, too.) But you can also get the songs being sung from the victim’s perspective… or the victim’s ghost as she comes for revenge. Rarely, you can get a third person omniscient narration of events. In the last 60-odd years, women have started to take the murder ballad back, and their narratives tend to be ones of revenge - typically revenge for domestic abuse. In the last 20-30, it’s slipped out of country music and bled across all genres. For classic murder ballads, try the Old World English ballad The Godport Tragedy, or the Americana version of the same song, Pretty Polly. For other classic Americana songs, try Lloyd Price’s “Stagger Lee,” Wayon Jenninsgs, "Cedartown, Georgie" or Lyle Lovett, “L.A. County.” Sting wrote “I Hung My Head,” which was recorded by Johnny Cash. For a more contemporary take on murder ballads, try "Where the Wild Roses Grow" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds or a number of songs by Eminem, including “‘97 Bonnie and Clyde” and “Kim,” “Dance with the Devil” by Immortal Technique (an example of a third person telling the story), and of course, “Thunder Rolls” by Garth Brooks (especially the live performance with the fourth verse). For a couple more takes on feminist murder ballads like No Body, No Crime, there's Wanda Jackson’ “The Box it Came In,” “Caleb Meyer” by Gillian Welch, "Goodbye, Earl" by The Chicks, and "Pretty Little One” by Steve Martin (yes, that one) and the Steep Canyon Rangers with Edie Brickell. Enjoy!

I was pretty sure you’d like this one! Songwriting at its finest. Have a great evening.

Taylor Swift is one of the best story tellers!!

If you love storytelling songs, try “champagne problems” or “right where you left me” or “all too wel (10 minute version)”

😂 Your reaction had me in the floor ROLMAO! I needed the laugh, so thanks. ❤

I wish this was a single. I just re-visited it last week and hard to replay it back to back a few times bc it’s so good

Crime Junkie did a whole April 1st episode based on this song and lemme tell you I was convinced at first 😂

This is the first time I’ve heard this. I love it!

Oh my dog 😂 Thank you SO much for that reaction! 😂🎉😂🎉😂

Big on storytelling songs, then Taylor is THE artist to listen to ❤

I’m so glad you appreciated this one for the quality it is. One of her best works imo ❤

This is one of my favs by TSwift. She’s super versatile. Great reaction.

A lot of her songs tell stories. Listen to All Too Well 10 min version. It’s a journey! My fav song too! 😊

The “Infidelity Smell” is your person coming home late with an excuse about whatever… and smelling like they spent an hour at the Macy’s perfume station! 🤷‍♂️😎

Pausing to say you’re killing me talking about that documentary! It was Dateline and Taylor saw it too!!! She wrote this entire song about that!!😂😂😂😂

True crime is a fantastic genre, this story is a great twist on the typical Date line story😉

Great reaction, so glad you got it right away, some don't.

I love this song.

My favorite song of hers for the same reason, I love me a good story. "Let's not kill the wife" and other hot takes on relationships lol

Loved your reaction!!! Great song!❤

lol your reaction is hilarious just a minute in 😂

LOL your reaction is the best, so funny😅 made my day and I’ve been going through a hard time, thank you!

I LOVE UR REACTION!!! THE WAY UR SO INVESTED HAHHHAHHA

You need to see the rock version of We are never ever getting back together . Then there is you’re losing me, there are just so many songs and i love that she is re-recording her earlier albums (Taylor’s version) so she will have control over her discography singing as hell her rights to her masters of her songs were sold out from under her for 140 million to scooter Braun and then sold them to Shamrock for 405 million so she’s taking back the masters first because they are Taylor’s version

This song is undoubtedly inspired by The (Dixie) Chicks’ “Goodbye Earl” one of my all time favs 😅

Loved the reaction! Thanks for the playlist too! 🙂

Do not mess with Taylor’s besties because she went for him! Too bad the mistress had to take the blame, but that’s just how it had to be!!

Your reaction was so fun

Oh Man!!! I was just waiting for your reaction at the end!!! Nice twist huh?? Taylor is a K#ller 💀🤣

That was fun!

I absolutely love this song ,Ty going to buy it now!!!

I love this

If you’re up for a little change of pace, you should check out ‘My Tears Ricochet’ and ‘Exile’ (featuring Bon Iver), recorded at Long Pond Studios. They’re both very powerful/emotional songs that really showcase her true talent singing and writing her own lyrics and music. I would love to see you cover those 😊 *both videos are on here and are of the actual studio recordings so you can see her emotions while singing. It’s beautiful.

This is like old-school country Taylor. Great storytelling.

Master songwriter. ✨👌🏼

Watch Dont blame me from the Reputation tour.

"mastermind" too pleaseeee!! :)

i have no idea why and how this guy hasn't listened to i did something bad yet.. it's FIRST PRIORITY!!

When I listen to that song for the first time I was literally confused…but then I listen to it over and over again I still didn’t get it…it took me 2 weeks to understand what was going on😂

storytelling songs? YOU’D LOVE FOLKLORE AND EVERMORE ERA!!!!

Check out Carrie Underwood '2 Black Cadillacs'.

😅 women do know. Truth!

You need to react to Taylor Swift live on Saturday Night Live false God

3:45 Chris Watts? Yeah that was craaaazzzyyy.

Your face when you realize what happened. 🤣

I think the guy you were thinking of is Chris Watts. I love watching the Rollercoaster of emotions when people first listen to this song lol

Where’s the playlist? Can’t find it. :)

Oh, we KNOW

Can you please react to coup de marteau 🔨😭🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
