What book?

@@mitchlaurensantillan58 Conversations with friends, by Sally Rooney

this is Taylor's world and we're just living in it

@khi White Taylor's literally been with Joe Alwyn for 5 years, she acknowledged the relationship in her documentary and she was with him a couple weeks ago in a cast party for Conversations with Friends. Just because they're a private couple, doesn't mean they're not together

@@anarocha7782 it’s weird that they’d even say that. Almost every song on Lover is about him lol

Yeah but no one learned anything

honestly i read it when i was in 4th grade, and didn't pick up that entire theme

I think the Hunger Games was about fascism rather than communism

@@M_SC I'd like to disagree! While of course it wasn't a book that explicitly *taught* about the horrors of a fascistic and capitalist society like a textbook would, I think it helped introduce those core concepts to a generation of teens - including me - in an accessible and entertaining way :)

@@waterfallsdontsaymeow2917 I meant more the capitol being fascists/capitalists and district 13 being communists

IK THAT’S SO TRUE

Yes, I was hoping someone else said this!

Damn I’m jealous. 🥺

as someone who went to high school in Canada, I can also confirm it happens a lot more than people think. I swear there was a week where it happened every day at least once😭

Yup

Honestly that to me was the silliest part of the whole video (really enjoyed the rest of it!), because no one is giving Kanye West credit for Taylor's achievements... Sure, they've had a tumultuous relationship, but I don't really see him gaining anything from her talents, so it kinda felt like he [Jack] really, really was overthinking it and trying to insert her into a narrative that she doesn't belong in.

@@msmarya100 he literally wrote a song saying he might sleep with her yet because he made her famous.

@@msmarya100 and I mean it literally. The song literally quotes " I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn!) I made that bitch famous"

@@tessamtd Oh I'm definitely not defending Kanye's actions and I totally agree that those lyrics are disgusting and degrading. At the time when he interrupted her, he came off as a massive fool and it wouldn't have helped his brand. The whole saga with "Famous" was more complicated because he got her whole-hearted agreement for the first section of those lyrics, but she was understandably betrayed by his inclusion of lyrics he hadn't double-checked with her. I think what made the situation worse was that instead of telling the story as it was, she initially acted like this was all extremely hurtful and when it surfaced that she knew (and had endorsed) the first part, her credibility took a big blow. Add on top of that toxic internet culture and you have the perfect storm.

@@msmarya100 Kanye gives Kanye credit lol

PLEASE YES

Where do i sign up for thissss

OH GOD, THIS WOULD BE A DREAMMMMM

Yes! Yes! Yes!

YES PLS

As it should be 😌

Yes I think Jack is one of those people who have/are becoming swifties after Folklore.

PERIODT

FULL STOP

It's so wholesome

And the wildest dreams reference is just amazing! ❤🙌🏻

omg I never knew that! I always assumed it was something about Tim Burton lol

Oh my gosh!! I thought she said “[something] to this Taylor” This is so cool

If anything this shows how young and impressionable her fan base is, because lauding this as "impressive mind" honestly gives off middle school vibes. I'm not saying you're wrong for feeling what you do, it's just that those lines aren't particularly mind-blowing or impressive in any intellectual capacity. It's more cute than anything.

He finally did it!!

can't believe she randomly read ulysses and finnigans wake like...........

Sometimes Americans forget not everybody is American

@@douloureux. everytime*

@@aditipatel4503 i stand corrected

As a American I agree. A LOT of Americans forget that the US is not the only country and culture

As an American I don’t know what happens here honestly 🤷‍♀️ (haha help)

I would call it fanboying

Prize*

i’m p sure editing a comment takes away the heart

@@maddibesaddi Oh thanks for letting me know.

@Jana V thankyou for letting me know, I was sad for a sec there.

This is so true, my mum always used to say this to me as a kid, and as a result, i love reading and writing! (and taylor)

right?? stargirl doesn't deserve this 😔

LITERALLY 11 year old me is crying rn

I think it might be the difference in school experiences. The uk and the us are very different in that regard so it might have affected his opinion

stargirl really helped me go through some shit in my life

Yeah, I have a feeling he didn't actually read it... If all he could take from it were the cringey parts...

It shows in her songs too... The lucky one and the last great American dynasty are masterpieces that reflect these stories, especially the former.

omg ur comment made me realise in french rechercher=research; chercher=search!!! finally i pick up the difference😹

@@saloni.sharma The Lucky One is so underrated! The old money concept is somehow utilized in the performance of that song in the Red Tour.

@@saloni.sharma Starlight too is about Bobby and Estel Kennedy, so another one.

@@carolinemcgovern4488 yes... And so many other celebrities have been inspiration in her concepts and discography. I find it so creative and interesting how she finds inspiration from so many different sources. ❤️

Then you are wasting your life because there are people a lot greater and more important who have done much more important things for society than airhead Taylor Swift.

@@statusquoreject Please learn to take a joke, dude. 🙄 Besides, the whole reason we're all so impressed by her is because Folklore and Evermore ARE Lyrical masterpieces. But if you don't like her music or her in general, you can obviously have your own opinion. So, Imma peace out.

@@nyx4078 How can you tell me to learn to take a joke when I'm not allowed to have my own opinion and you think I too am not joking. I don't like Taylor Swift because she's quite conceited and she's not skilled in any way whatsoever. A real female vocalist or musician is someone like Ella Fitzgerald, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Billie Holiday, Lady Gaga, Nina Simone. These women are actually musically gifted and understand musical theory... They're actually trained musicians. Taylor Swift is just a pop star. I'm not sure what age you are so maybe you're at the age where you think pop music is awesome but pop music is not difficult nor is it real music. Pop music does not take musical skill or require you to be a real musician. It is generic lyrics and beats looped over and over overly produced and artificially enhanced tracks. There is no complex music structure/theory, there are no odd times signatures there is nothing that resembles what real music is. If the phrases I used are not things you are familiar with that is also an example how pop music is not real music. There is nothing lyrically or musically complex about any of Taylor Swift's albums. In fact artists like her and pop music are making society dumber. I respect your right to like Taylor Swift and whatever type of music you prefer and you don't have to agree with me, but most real musicians will tell you the same about taylor swift. If you want to go listen to a really amazing female musician go listen to some Nina Simone, I'm sure you will have a new appreciation for music.

@@statusquoreject Sorry, but where did I ever say you're not allowed to have your own opinion? I quote from my previous comment: "But if you don't like her music or her in general, you can obviously have your own opinion." So, with that said, we all get to like who we like..and if pop music brings people joy, you or I don't get to invalidate the genre. I, for one, listen to her for her lyrics.. possibly why Evermore and Folklore are my favourite albums. And every critic or musician I have read/heard, talking about them has praised these albums. But I do agree with you on one point: pop music is overshadowing other genres that deserve so much more viewership and do require a lot of skill. And yes, there are artists that are better vocalists, as you named. But that does not mean people should undermine another person's hard work. This woman has been writing and creating music and been in the music industry for over 15 years; and while she may not be the best singer there is, she HAS improved. Her music brings so much joy to so many people, and isn't that the most important thing about music? I, for one, like to listen to a variety of artists on different levels of success and in a lot of languages, even ones that I cannot speak lol, so I do know that there are people out there who deserve so much more recognition than they get. Anyway, this has been rather long. Have a good day.

@@nyx4078 well you told me I can't a joke when I was being sarcastic with my original comment but I guess the sarcasm didn't come through well. About music, i can respect your POV and where you're coming from but I am not invalidating a genre of music by pointing out TS is not a musician and pop music doesn't require a person to be a "musician." I have studied music for 40 yrs and as musician pop music does not get much respect with formally trained musicians. It's not really formal music. You just may have a different definition of a "musician" is than what the technical term is and that's fine, but words matter. I'm guessing by your name that you might be Indian/punjabi (so am I) and I dont know if you know who Anoushka Shankar is but I consider her the definition of a true musician because she's classically trained and has studied musical theory whereas Taylor Swift is just a girl who kind of can carry a tune and plays the guitar a little. I highly doubt Taylor Swift has the skill to play her guitar to the level Anoushka Shankar can play the sitar. Music classes and music theory are a real thing. Music structure and timing are real musical concepts. It's not me just being a jerk trying to invalidate pop music. Being trained in those things are what define someone as a musician and Taylor Swift is not trained in those things. Calling people like TS musicians is like someone with a smartphone camera calling themself a photographer, or someone who makes a beat on their computer a DJ, or someone who can draws in their spare time an artist. There's a lot more to it is what I'm saying and the words have meanings which matter. Most of TS's songs are about her relationships so it's even hard to see her as a much of a lyricist plus she also doesn't write all her own songs. I also feel like she plays the victim a lot and the Netflix special she was unbearable. Regardless, I'm glad you're familiar with some of the other musicians I mentioned.... The thing is 50 years from now the musicians I mentioned will still be very famous and renowned but I highly doubt Taylor Swift will carry the same kind of weight or memory. But hey if you like Taylor Swift and she makes you happy then by all means listen to whoever you love. If Taytay does it for you then I'm glad you have someone who brings you joy. Have a wonderful day.

Same!

I THOUGHT OF THE SAME THING

@@nicoleseltmann2922 A Gatsby style toast to us Swifties for that 😌🥂

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS !!!!! SO COOL

@@jack_edwards like you said, she deserves a Nobel prize 😌

Are you ready for it...

Thank you so much this really gonna save me from spoilers I guess

Thank you

*the lyrics he uses SO CLEVER N NEAT!

You're so pretty! ❤️

@@sophieesther awh thank you so much!!🥺❤️

Yes! How did I miss this!! Her references are spot on, as usual ❤️

from book is it from?

@@janakanawati268 the first one in the video, Furious Lovr

aah I love this💖

It’s a lyric from WAP hahaha “Certified freak, 7 days a week”

Oop, my roommate has that song on repeat and it flew right over my head 😪

Thank you!

I greatly appreciate this, time stamps and all! 💙

aww I love this list

God bless you

Ty!

imagine my inner conflict over liking this versus keeping it at an EXACT 130 likes

Listening to White Horse (Taylor's Version) right now.

a poet?

🙄

her poetry is a bit juvenile... for a woman her age

She's a decent songwriter of easy to listen pop songs. That's a big talent but it's quite a reach to call her the best poet ans storyteller of our century. I mean I really hope you realize that.

@@nationalhamleague5352 I definitely wouldn’t say she’s the best poet of our century but I wouldn’t reduce her work to simply pop music either. A lot of her radio singles to make money don’t represent her actual discography tbh.

The song was inspired by the Netflix movie Something Great

@@xbookwormqueenx yes!! but the title was a quote from the book

@Farabee Pushpita yes it could also be that

No its inspired by a movie and also its a very popular saying.

It’s literally a form of torture that was practiced in I think China in previous times. It’s not a book or a movie or a saying.

I agree completely. You have to appreciate the people who support you because without them you wouldn't be where you are

Same 😂

Same ❤️

If you enjoy literature and Taylor, you should check out English Teacher KP! She does literary analysis on a lot of Taylor's songs and I think her content is really good

@@clarelim847 omg ik I love her channel so much!!

@@clarelim847 I love that channel!

Same

same

i don’t think they have a hummus aisle i think jack just goes to the dip aisle only for hummus lmao

what does it mean

I dont get it -

@@bartomiejkomarnicki7506 Taylor is remastering all of her songs that are under Big machine record label. And her new releases are called *"Taylor's Version"* . Check them out if you're a swiftie Or like those songs, she's really working hard.

whys that? what happened?

@kam Yep, her first five albums.

I would love one of Lana's favourite books

OH MY GOD YAAASSSSSSS

haha c'est drole. allez!

Literally same. I have a speech, essay, and exam due in the next 24 hours...and I'm here instead

do your essays!!

DON'T stream her old MVs (the ones she doesn't own)

That's a one brilliant Ted talk!

Or just talk about the series.. I love it. I do wonder what the book is like.

OMG yessss

This would be awesome!!

WAIT OMG you just mentioned tshoeh i didn't know you've read it already

that's one of my fav books

i'm 100% certain taylor (swift) has been inspired by and maybe even wrote about tshoeh OR taylor was inspired by stuff from taylor's discography for tshoeh

there's so many parallels btw the book and The Taylor Swift Cinematic Universe ™ it drives me insane

@@ismathrelatedtoscience77 plus it came out during rep era when taylor took back her control and made a stand for herself.

Watching these videos actually help me be/inspire me to be productive so this video actually helped me XD

Watching Jack’s videos is probably the most productive thing I do all day. 👁👄👁

Agree. I think nearly every American for the past 50 years has read this.

same!! i see a lot of normal people and conversations with friends in folklore and evermore

@@sreanahabiba1914 ikrrrr!

yes! tis the damn season reminds me so much of normal people

@@catarinasena1634 ikr! Especially cause they used to meet on Christmas. Also, cause "the road not taken looks real good now, and it always leads to you in my hometown" 👀

Omg yes, that’s a great idea!

It’s actually from ...Ready for it

@@xbookwormqueenx oh lol oops

😂😂😂

This might help :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obuAhtqW1b2liJ8.html&ab_channel=JackEdwards

@@Mike-ep8yl thank youuuu❤️

I mean personally if it’s helpful some of my favorite books are: we were liars (I read it a couple of years ago way before it was popular), hunger games, anything Stephen king, paper towns, and another one of my favorites Where the Crawdads Sing. Good luck homie!

Some really good books I’ve read in the past week include The perks of being a Wallflower, They both die at the end and The book thief. They were all really really good I think!!

I recommend Mr penumbra’s 24 hour bookstore. It’s really cool haha
