When she dropped this song I was sobbing for at least an hour after the first listen. I had lived so many lives between the ages of 18 and 22 and then ended up in what I now know was an autistic burn out not having a clue about anything, so this song hit so hard.

Phoebes voice gets me every time…so soft and haunting at the same time

I just turned 22 and this song feels like a punch in the throat

As someone who turned 22 a few days ago, this is sadly relatable. 🥲 But a very beautifully written song and I love their voices together!

the message of this song is so relatable. i’m 21 right now, but i was 19 when this song came out. this is not my favorite song on red as i like faster tempo, more upbeat songs, but what taylor is saying in this song is truly so vulnerable ❤. you should watch the live performance of taylor and phoebe singing this together at the Eras Tour!

I'm a 70 year old woman, and after many years of experience learning about women in this society, and the socialization of women...I've concluded "Men will treat women badly, but women will treat women worst"...

this channel needs more phoebe bridgers content

Your outfit is giving Cher from Clueless. I love it!

This is one of my favorite Taylor songs, I'm 24 and I've been through everything she sings in this song, and you interpreted it perfectly. It is unsettling to notice how and why life changes. You should react to Smoke Signals by Phoebe next, it's a really beautiful song that also talks about the changes in life. ❤

Could write an essay on this song fr ❤️❤️

I absolutely love the "she'll know the way and then she'll say she got the map from me" line it just describes their friendship perfectly. Phoebe has called Taylor her hero countless times and even praised her in a speech, their mutual love and admiration and respect for each other is everything!

Favourite Taylor song, it’s incredable

I can relate to this song so much! It makes me sob every time I listen to it. When I turned 18, I left my parents' house and went to discover myself and the world. I lived in 4 different countries and I felt like I could do anything. I was happy and had tons of people I hung out with. At around 23/24 I started to feel lost. My life wasn't going as planned and, even though I had a degree, I couldn't find anything in my area of studies and had to go back to my parents. Unfortunately, I fell into a hole of depression and lost who I used to be. I had so many hobbies, I had such a light... but in a blink of an eye, the old me was gone. A few years later, things changed again for a while: life got better, I moved to 2 more countries, learned languages, became a nurse. However, today at 35, I have nothing. I'm not married, I have no kids, no friends, no social life and I feel stuck in this place where I live forever. My job is everything I have. My family is in another country. I often cry myself to sleep and then I wake up in the middle of the night and I feel time moving... time is running out. When you are young you don't need to rush; but after you're 35, if you haven't achieved certain things in life, it can become too late. I just hope it isn't for me. 🥺💔

More books you’ve written?!?! I say, “Hell YESSS!”

The answer is yes. We still want both of them. 🥰

This song is a new favorite for me too now!

I saw the notification and literally screamed I've wanted to see a reaction to nothing new so baaad I'm so happy aah

Hey mere, I’m so sorry about your marriage. I hope you know that you’ll always be special, you look absolutely stunning and I honestly don’t know what wrinkles you’re talking about. That was 100% your partners loss because you’ll always be bejeweled even at 60

The book about the pressures of society on our appearance & parental impact/influence on our choices sounds captivating! 🤩 Hope you feel inspired & energised, we can’t wait for what you have to say! 😊 also love your reactions! 🥰

Mere, you’re beautiful inside and out! I love your channel and how we are all learning and healing through your reactions, it’s truly lovely. Blessings.

LOVE THISSS

If you haven’t yet, I highly suggest watching her documentary Miss Americana. You’ll love it.

I'm currently reading your book and so far it's really good ! I like that you take the approach of a therapist and that you included some self reflection pages in it. As someone who is looking to get into the mental health field it's very cool ! Looking forward to reading your next books :D

MEREDITHHH your hair is so gorg

'My love mine all mine' by Mitski you absolutely need to react to it! Great song to dissect the lyrics

yessss, was so excited to see this!! a favorite song!!

This song is also about feeling lost in life after working really hard to achieve something, drowning in that success and looking back at your younger self and not knowing what to do with this "newly found success", looking at your younger self and how you feel like she knew everything(compared to now), hence, "How could a person know everything at 18 and nothing at 22?" And you also keep on crying because you feel so lost, hoping for a resolve, hence, "How long will it be cute, all this crying in my room?"

I’m excited!!

Awesome song and you are awesome too Meredith no grey on you. Love and wishes

Insane she wrote this at 22 She did know everything when she was young 🫶🏼

This song just about killed me when I first heard it, because I first caught it right around the time Red TV dropped, and for context, ironically enough, I was 22 at the time. I had already been through everything she sings about in this too, so "How can a person know everything at 18 and nothing at 22?" hit me so hard. Because from when I was 18-20, I had a habit of getting into these situationships and eventually a couple straight up relationships with much older men who turned out to unfortunately not really have ever cared about me that deeply so to speak, if even at all, in the first place. The couple of "straight up relationships" part was when I was 20, in which I broke things off after I learned he was married to someone his age, aka someone 10+ years older than me... and she ended up also initiating a divorce when that happened. I was going through a lot else in general at that time & covid had also just hit (this all happened between late 2019 - just barely mid 2020), so I ended up going to a mental hospital for basically lowkey a month. She called me while I was there and she was nothing but kind. We talked about everything, and it was of course a tough conversation for both of us, but definitely necessary both ways as well. I'm glad she's doing better now with someone else and I'm so glad she's wished the same for me of course. I mention this too because of what you mentioned in the beginning about your current marital circumstance, and from your palpable reactions too, I just want to say I am so, so sorry. The way women are subjected to this sort of thing is so, so disgusting. We're people; not slices of bread that expire before you remember to finish the whole loaf. It sickens me and boils my blood sometimes honestly when I think about how we aren't "allowed" for lack of better term to be considered as "aging gracefully" just by default like how men are seen as. I don't know anything about this woman you alluded to who's younger than you, but even if she's not someone who would give you any sense of solidarity, that still doesn't mean you're alone, "crazy" or anything of the sort. You also being open about this is so so helpful to so many people too; women & girls especially!!

I ordered your book and it just arrived yesterday 🥰

Mere, how in depth does your book go with attachment styles? I’d love for you to do a really in-depth book on attachment styles, both informative and self help. Also, big congratulations on getting published!

I love your wallpaper!!! Love your videos but I’m always looking at the backgrounds lol you have ✨aesthetic✨

So, I'm trans and I wasn't able to come out until my mid-twenties. This song rips me up so much. I remember being that age and so shook up in my gender and understanding of the world. Gah! This song gets me every single time I hear it! Thanks for the react!

Just an incredible song.

Definitely interested in your second book ideas

Her voice! Btw what made your week heartwarming?

i was literally just listening to this in my taylor playlist lol

We need more Phoebe Bridgers content on this channel!!

I've got to say that I love your outfits

My most favorite taylor song. Thank you 💕 also you need to react to mote pheobe Mere.

AH I WAS JUST LISTENING TO IT BEFORE I CLICKED ON IT ITS MY FAV SONGG

And now we have a song like Clara Bow.

you have to listen to its time to go!!! i think you will love it

Please react to the miss americana documentary on taylor swift!

This song has been on repeated repeat, if that gives any insight into how much I’ve been into it. I think many of us, especially women, feel we have to somehow achieve the societal expectation of staying young to be “wanted” or maybe I’ll go so far as to say “valued” for your youth. Like you said, Taylor is so raw and completely vulnerable and I love also that full circle you pointed out about her having Phoebe (young and “new”) on the track. The song is not getting old. ❤ How’s that for a play on words, against the song title?😂

And knowing that it can also apply to Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo who were also inspired by Taylor ❤

So yes please let's work together on this next book it's going to be in school curriculum

A song you should react to is teenage dream by Olivia rodrigo

Hi there ❤

Hey Mare, you should give a chance to listen to "Powder" from Melanie Martinez. It's a great song about how it feels beeing with a person addicted, and realizing that it's up to the person want to get better and you don't wanna be putted down anymore.
