Wow. What a great album 🥹 We tried to catch as much as possible, very layered body of work. Evermore next 🤍 What’s your TOP 5!? WATCH OUR REACTION TO “cardigan” HERE: www.patreon.com/posts/71099415? Tracklist: the 1 (1:29) cardigan (4:58) the last great american dynasty (8:08) exile (12:28) my tears ricochet (16:17) mirrorball (20:36) seven (24:19) august (27:22) this is me trying (30:54) illicit affairs (33:43) invisible string (36:17) mad woman (38:46) epiphany (41:14) betty (43:56) peace (47:10) hoax (49:25)

still to this day in my opinion her best body of work as a whole, it’s so cohesive, explorative and experimental enough but still keeping her catchy essence. this genre is her lake (pun intended) and she’s just swimming freely

You will realize when you listen to Evermore but folklore is late spring, summer because the sound feels day time, breezy and fresh and light compared to evermore, which is night time, dark, cold weather. Evermore is fall and winter

Red (2012) “loving him was red, burning red” Daylight (2019) “i once believed love would be burning red, but it’s golden” Invisible String (2020) “one single thread of gold tied me to you” 💛

This album was (and is) such a moment in time. An absolute masterpiece. Aaron, Taylor and Jack are the trio we all never knew we needed until they appeared with stunning lyrics, music and production to blow us away.

This album made me a swiftie, I was so impressed by Taylor with this. The lyricism primarily, but also the production, the cohessive style, the vulnerability, the vocals, everything about this album was damn near flawless to me.

you can tell that you guys truly love music, you pay attention to EVERY aspect of a song and that is so awesome to see !

This album is 100% a summer album. It was released in the summer and mentions the summer in a lot of the songs. Like an end of summer/ early evening album I’d say.

peace has grown on me the most in this album . I don’t feel like I fully appreciated upon first listen but now I really understand what the song is about it always gets me emotional 😭. i love it sm

I wish you’d react to the folklore long pond studio sessions. 🥺 taylor, jack and aaron explained the songs really well. plus, the live versions of the songs are all immaculate.

This Is Me Trying is such an under-rated song, it definitely is my favorite (along with Peace, The Lakes, & Cardigan). I absolutely love all the songs on Folklore & Evermore as well.

my tears ricochet is about scott borchetta, someone she felt very close too (like a father figure) but betrayed her just the same. "i can go anywhere i want... just not home" - she felt at home with him, comfortable but that suddenly is all flipped. you also mentioned that it's like 'the way you treated me doesn't reflect your grief', which is expressed in the "why are you at my wake". other lyrics that i think relate to this: "when you can't sleep at night, you'll hear my stolen lullabies" - maybe he's remorseful, guilty and can't sleep. she acknowledges this with basically an fu; idc that you can't sleep because my song have been stolen. (her singing this lyric also sounds like a yell)

the story behind that album is just mind blowing😭

Ugh, knowing you all are not a major Swiftie and doing this revisit and finally see the light of what this album is about and the big perspective how this album impacts in her entire discpography and career is so satisfying Thank you for reacting this.

hope you guys do a revisit for evermore but PLEASE listen to the bonus tracks 'cause they're ELITE (a crime that the lakes wasn't here but still loved the video 💕💕)

this album will forever be a masterpiece

My tears richochet is about Scott Borchetta( Old label manager who she spent all those years with and that she considered to be like a fatherfigure to her) and not Scooter. She does not have a close relationship with Scooter at all, she never wanted him in her life. This song is way to sad and emotional to be about Scooter. It is about Scott. Mad woman is more about Scooter. Loved the reaction video though!

Im so glad you guys liked mirrorball so much, it's one of my faves from the album for sure! This album was a masterpiece and part of the reason was because Taylor finally got the balls to sing about other stories, not just pull from herself and her past. However, mirrorball is the closest to her life experiences as we really get through most of the album, this was her thoughts as the pandemic was at it's height. "And they called off the circus, burned the disco down, when they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns" is about the shut down we experienced at the beginning of 2020. It's also a song about her and where she goes from here, if it's truly the end of the world as we know it, what does all of Hollywood do? They're entertainers, that's how they feel alive and good and if they can't do that anymore, what does she do now? I love the song, it's so powerful to me. Ughhhhh, just wait till you get to epiphany, that one is about the pandemic too (in part) and it's so BEAUTIFUL!!!

Crazy I just found this video when I was literally listening to folklore 2 minutes ago. It was definitely one of my most played albums 2020/2021. The hidden gems on her albums are always the ones not released as singles.

It’s amazing how good slow songs can become once you really listen to the lyrics. That’s exactly what happened for me with Lorde’s Solar Power. I didn’t like it when it dropped, but after really listening in detail I’ve had it on repeat all summer.

cant wait for evermore too, to me it's her best but very very close to folklore. your reactions are brilliant as always love ya

I loved this! I can't wait for you guys to get to evermore, it is even more storytelling than folklore and it's just an amazing album!

Yes been waiting for this! Please do Evermore next 🙏

Thanks for reacting to this, this was the first album I had ever listened to from Taylor. It was different, something I hadn’t heard from her ( I had heard the hits of course) and the songwriting was superior to anything out there. I really love listening to her explain her songwriting process and the songs. The Long Pond Studio Sessions do that. Some are better than others. Mirrorball and My Tears Ricochet and this is me trying are particularly well done and she goes into great detail about the inspiration for those two songs. And the teenage love triangle (Betty James Augustine, did you guys catch that?) , she talks about that and how those were written. Love the rx! Evermore is in the same forest but more experimental and extroverted. Has a bit more variety. IMO.

you guys were listening to folklore while was rainning? what a mooodd

you guys are one of my favorite channels to watch for music reactions. I love hearing another person's perspective on songs and even though we usually have the same interpretation I still love watching your videos. since you guys like storytelling so much I think that you would really like Alec Benjamin, not so much his newest album, but the two before that, Narrated For You and These Two Windows. he is fantastic at telling story's through his music, not a story that you hear every day though. his song, Must've Been The Wind is about the woman in the apartment above his and how he thinks that she is experiencing domestic violence but he doesn't have enough evidence to go to the police. so instead he goes to her door every once in a while just to make sure she's okay, and lets her know that if she ever needs to talk, he's there. it's a beautiful song and tells a story that should be told more.

YAASSSS evermore nextttttt

YAY IM EXCITED FOR THIS!!! i love hearing your opinions!! your energy always makes me so happy to watch!! 😄

yesss i’ve been waiting for this one

It's fall and winter. Folkore + Evermore. Also I was feeling the album too the other. I put it on and it was just what I needed.

You guys need to do evermore, I like evermore between these two album

Please react to EVERMORE by Taylor Swift.

this video was just /vibes/ and i'm here for it. you guys are so eloquent

‘Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven’ 🥰🥰 the most beautiful line

Omg finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooooo much for reacting to this masterpiece

I remember listening to Betty for the first time on release day (before knowing about the love triangle) and my little bi heart was so excited. I love the love triangle and story, and in my head it will always be between three women 🏳️‍🌈

Thank you so much for reacting guys.

cardigan is betty's perspective from the love triangle august is frim augustine's pov the girl that james had an affair with in summer and betty is james pov

AHHHHH ONE OF MY FAVORITES! 🤍

The way I first listened to this album fully painted how I still experience it. I didn’t plan on staying up until midnight, but a massive thunderstorm kept me awake. I lit a candle & dove in & was immediately absorbed into the music. It was a perfect moment. The thunder that rattled thru this reaction brought me right back to it too 😊

My favorite part of Exile is the "signs" lines part two, I love it ! And as you said I love how you can also hear in the way they sing it the miscommunication and falling out of the couple

react to the lakes and evermore deluxe

My top 5 with my top lyrics 🤧 August : CANCEL PLANS JUST IN CASE YOU'D CALL This is me trying : I've been having a hard time adjusting . My tears ricochet : I can go anywhere I want just not home Cardigan : I knew you'd haunt all of my what ifs The lakes : A red rose grew out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet it Ps: honorable mention to Illicit affairs and mirrorball 🖤

Top 5 you ask? 1. The 1 2. Exile 🔪 3. August 🌞 4. This Is Me Trying 5. Mad Woman 👩🏼👺

Taylor’s best album😍

I just love you guys, pure Reactions in every single video That's rare ❤️

Wonderful reaction! Your analysis is very interesting and interested. Ready for Evermore!

Please include the bonus tracks on Evermore, they're so good 🥺

Loved watching guys! 🎉😊

I think it’s time for Reputation, Lover and 1989

we are getting brand new album TS10 Midnights 😭 October 21st

WE ARE GETTING A NEW ALBUM "MIDNIGHTS" ON OCTOBER 21ST!!!

Thank you guys! This was amazing 😍 Im new to the channel, do you guys plan on doing all the albums or do you listen in your own time and they would all be revisits or not done at all? Just wondering ☺️ I’d watch even if they were all revisits!

My Top 5 of folklore: the 1, exile, august, peace and the lakes. I cannot wait for y'all to react to evermore. Some of my favorite songs of her entire discography are on that album

Yeeeees been waiting for this!

you guys should react to the folklore long pond studio film!

3rd comment but I HAD to say I've never heard anyone make a connection between Exile and This is Me Trying but WOW I kinda see it and I LOVE that, no clue if she meant to but I want to listen to them both again and think about this

The pond studios she explains the songs and I recommend it!

You guys are my favourite! I love these videos

I never realized how much 'Mad Woman' and WCS sound alike until this listen! This album is a masterpiece! 🥹🫶🏾

she announced a new album !!

lover 3 years anniversary passed this week. folklore was a one ago 😭

AHHH I SAW THIS AND I GOT SO EXCITED

we need the reaction to “speak now”

Loved this, yous need to do evermore next ❤️

Jordan is honestly me the 1000th time hyping up and listening to this album. LOL

needed a The lakes reaction so bad noo

This album is so deeply engrained in my soul. Not only did we ALL need to escape into a different world during the pandemic, but I had just moved halfway across the country in the middle of the pandemic and I knew no one in my new home and this album became an emotional support animal to me 😂❤

Still waiting patiently for 1989 👀

Loooved your reactions guys as always but you missed the lakes the only bonus track

Can't wait to see you guys react to Evermore 😘😘

Just finished watching your conversation with Bobby and Maya And now I can watch this I’m being fed tonight😁👅❤️⭐️

I know this’ll hit as a very new folklore stan!

I loved this!!! You guys should react to FIVE SECONDS FLAT by LIZZY MCALPINE... I think you guys will love it!!

I now think of the one as the follow up song to foolish one (speak now- from the vault).

i just would love to see you guys reacting to MARINA, specially ELECTRA HEART or FAMILY JEWELS and ANCIENT DREAMS IN A MODERN LAND or FROOT anything, i would just LOVE to see it, im begging i think you would like

evermore when? 👀❤️ love u guys

Please please say you're going to react to all her albums!

Y’all should react to kali uchis’ Ep “to feel alive” it’s only 4 songs but they’re so good! Love y’all ❤️❤️

You should react to the live album as well it's great

my top 5 right now: 1.peace 2 invisible string 3 august 4 exile 5 cardigan yeah. I'm fine with that. honorable mentions: my tears ricochet, Betty, hoax(!), illicit affairs (!)

OH MY GOD YOU LISTENED I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH

WE HERE

The sound is the beat of a heart (epiphany)at the hospital,the machine

Album of the century❤

More little mix !💓

My top 5 Exile My tear ricochets August Seven The one

her best album

Your comment about appreciating it more because you listened to red first is SO TRUE. folklore is by far my favorite (and her best) album. But that being said, red would have to be my second favorite because I listened to it my whole childhood. Folklore girlies are Red girlies 🤭

I know im so late to this but did you guys do a reaction to the Long Pond ?

2 years???? My god how time flies

my tears ricochet is about divorce specifically, and when you listen to it with that in mind all the lyrics change. the lines ‘we gather stones never knowing what they’ll mean some to throw some to make a diamond ring’ is obviously referring to marriage but also to how these two people collected memories together, and some of them were to strengthen their relationship (ie making the diamond ring) and some of them were to hold against each other (throwing the stones). and the lines ‘tossing out blame, drunk on this pain crossing out the good years’ reminds me so heavily of my own parents divorce because of how they blame each other because of how much hurt they caused. but what makes the pain so much worse is that these two people were bonded together and they loved each other so strongly. and now, as the (presumably) man buries the woman, he’s not only burying his greatest enemy and regret, but also his most cherished partner and lover. unintentional lover reference there😂

FINALLY

Can y’all check out kali uchis’ ep “to feel alive” that came out mid 2020. It’s only 4 songs and they are soo good! Would love to see y’all’s reaction! Love y’all!❤️❤️

Have you listened to evermore? Personally like it more than folklore.

Can you guys revisit Reputation and Lover?

Betty is my favorite song ❤ 😭
