The guy is one of her dancers. And, yes, he’s great! Such an understated performance, but very evoking emotionally.

the last line that got cut is 'i sit and watch you'. she repeats the very first line of the song to represent staying in the cycle of abuse and not actually being able to leave. she gives the other person all the reasons why she should leave and starts to say she's finally going to do it, finally going to work up the courage to run, but then goes back to just watching and staying with that person because she can't get out. it's almost like the song is an imaginary conversation with herself, building up the fantasy of leaving before realizing she can't. it's such a heartbreaking song.

You guys dropping 2 tay sway reactions in the same day was not on my April bingo card, y’all really workin overtime 😂 thank you for this we all appreciate it 🤍 ps green

Green💚 The thumbnail "guys... I think we found the right video this time " 😂😂❤

The end line, She said, I sit and watch you.

Green: I do not support nastiness. I noticed but did not comment. ❤

I saw a video of a woman saying this song makes her think of her relationship with her teenage daughter and how you’re so excited for them all the time and they just tolerate us being around and as a mom of a teenage daughter myself - that hit HARD - now I can’t listen to it without tearing up. Listening from that perspective is ROUGH

That's Raphael Thomas, one of Taylor's dancers on tour, and he's an absolute king.

Taylor is the queen of closing out her songs with the first line of the song to really hit the message home. She is a lyrical genius.

Green. Love you guys, mistakes and all.

The guy in this performance is one of her dancers.

the last line she says when she sits down is the same as the first: "I sit and watch you"

This is hands down in my opinion her best performance for the entire show.

Green 💚 LOVE Jake’s commentary on this one! Him noticing her bracing herself after asking for clarity knowing the answer will hurt 😭 “It is a choice to wake up and love someone everyday” 👏🏻 would definitely pay for the Ted talk lol

My 23 yo daughter played this for me and i cried so hard. Its reminded me of when i was with her father. Every year got worse and worse. I got sick and not in position to leave yet i still made sure everything was perfect for him with never even a Thank you... Ya. This one hits HARD

Green! I am a silent subscriber mostly, but I just love your Tay Sway reaction videos. Y'all are just so empathetic and compassionate, and it is a breath of fresh air. Appreciate y'all so much!

10:12 🟢 YES! Exactly! The performance of this song really helps to drive home the difference between where the inspiration for the song and the reality of the lyrics lives. Hearing someone say something vulnerable isn’t as poignant as seeing them say it in the moment it’s making them feel vulnerable. When she says “if it’s all in my head tell me now” you can see that she’s inviting him to scare away all the ghosts in her head so she can relax and understand him better. But he doesn’t, because her intuition is correct, he’s checked out and he is tolerating the love she’s showing him to avoid telling her he’s not in love with her anymore. She knows that’s what he’s feeling, she’s bracing herself to hear the truth but is also saturated in hope that he will tell her it’s just in her head and he is still in love with her. It’s all captured in the one expression bracing herself for his response. And what happens after is a realistic reaction to gaslighting. This song is about mental health abuse, more than it’s about the book Rebecca, despite that being the inspiration. I believe what she took from the book, has been applied to her own reality, it’s not a direct story about Rebecca as with “the last great American dynasty”

Green, bitches 😍just finished watching your WCS reaction! Then I saw this?! What an absolute treat!

Green. Thank you for doing it again!

💚 you'll love the new TTPD set she added to the tour. She was a theatre kid, and she's indulging that and we're so lucky to witness it!

Green. love how y’all are so understanding and really enjoy her music and songwriting from a masculine pov❤️

Green 🟩. She is very musical theater when she performs, that's what I think set's her live performances apart from the majority of other big artists. She has had theater elements in her tours since the beginning (I especially remember the fearless tour (2009) and the speak now tour (2011) as very musical theater) and the acting is just getting better!

GREEN - hey, sh*t happens. Still here loving the reactions. ❤ speaking of, y’all should react to a video of The “Errors” tour. 🥰

5:18 PERFECT EXPLANATION YES SPOT ON WITH THE SMUDGE ON THE GLASS AND EVERYTHING

Goosebumps on my legs😂😂

Poor Mike 😂 Also, green!

Tolerate It is lyrically one of her best songs. It’s beautiful but heart-wrenching

Green! Thank you guys for posting back-to-back Taylor. Also at the end what skipped is “I sit and watch you” so going back to the beginning of the song.

The lyric “ I wait by the door like I’m just a kid.” Makes me tear up all the time . Anyone else?!

this is a very powerful performance..

Green. I've been listening to your videos throughout the day at the office, I would definitely pay for the TED talk. You guys have pretty soothing voices, btw.

tay sway vids back to back, can't complain! and reacting to the right tolerate it video this time yay 🤣🤣 🫶🏻 you guys are the bests

Green. Yep. He's one of her dancers. She is an actor. It's amazing really.

Green! I watch all of your videos from start to finish! Your banter is funny and so relatable. As a former theatre director every time I see Taylor throw the props on the ground, I always cringe, thinking I hope someone is back there cleaning it up before the next number! Raphael Thomas (the man at the table) does a great job in this for sure! Also... I forgot to say this in the past videos that I have watched, but thank you for your service! My husband is in the military, so we appreciate everything you and your families do.

The thing I love about this song is that anyone can relate to this. Everyone has felt tolerated in a relationship at some point. I’ve seen edits of couples in movies, Anna and Elsa, I mean her writing skills are INSANE. She said Rebecca inspired her but she wrote it because she’s felt this in past relationships.

Green! You guys have become one of my favorites to watch and I don’t think Taylor would approve of people being unkind!😊❤😊 Thanks for the laughs!!! 😂

Green! React to The Last Great American Dynasty if you want less of a sad song- super interesting story and a video of Taylor from long ponds talking about writing it

Green. Y'all are awesome. I've gotten lost in the rabbit hole of reaction videos. Love the interaction between the three of you.

(Green) So I have been avoiding videos and spoilers from the eras tour for over a year, so I couldn't watch this video before. Last week Taylor finally came to sweden and I saw the concert without knowing the setlist or anything. It was amazing. And now I finally can watch the eras tour movie and also, this video 😄 loved this, you guys are awsome. So sad that people can be so mean when commenting. Take care! 💚

💚Remember the movie about the giant plant that ate people? That’s how I feel when you guys drop. Feeeed meee😂🎉💚 Also it kinda feels like in her head like oh I could do this but I won’t. The scene of her throwing everything off the table and really telling him how she feels when previously she said “you’re so much older and wiser…” drives home the feeling of being insecure in an age gap relationship thinking you can’t express yourself for fear of seeming childishness or dramatic. (Seems like it could be rated to that other 10 min song we know doesn’t it😉)💚

Green 🐍 Omg tolerate it is amazing

Thank God you’ve found the right video, didn’t finish the last video reaction. 😅

Green. I saw your first reaction, so happy to see you got this version!! Yay!!

You were misled, no shame due to you. Very happy you’re redoing with 5he “real” video, ‘cos it’s SOO good. XXX

Green! I always like to watch the intro so I know what people are going in with in their head already.

I'm watching this 14 hrs after you posted and 13minutes before the TTPD premiere. Ahhh!!!! I'm so happy yall found the right version. I was so sad that you got the wrong one 1st. ALSO, 💚 GREEN 💚

Green - long time subscriber, first time commenting. You guys are awesome and one of my favourite reactions was Tolerate it 1.0 watching you guys trying to figure out wtf was going on was priceless. And I never miss an intro

Green 💚 I love this song. I can relate to it so much. Her performance of it is very moving. Thank you guys for reacting to this version. I understood what happened last time and I'm sorry that some where mean in their comments. I appreciate you guys. Thanks!

It's almost impossible to tell, but the song is in 10/8, which is a highly unconventional signature. (You could also say 5/4, but Aaron had a reason for expressing it as 10/8). You guys really need to watch the entire Eras Tour movie. It made her a lot of green.😉

Green. I was sad that it was the wrong video last time, but I saw the intro and it was an honest mistake. I'm really happy to see a reupload though with the right one, cool thing to do when you didn't have to!

Throwing Mike under the bus 😂 Glad you got the right one. I love this performance. Green!

GREEN! Also, happy to see your channel growing! Can't wait to experience TTPD with y'all!

Green - I love this song soo much!!

Green! 💚 Yay! Two Tay Sway videos in one day! How excited are you guys to react to The Tortured Poet's Department release?

💚green heart here. a little late because during realese week it's chaos and I just saw this video rn, but guys I really enjoyed your other reaction! because you guys also trying analyzed the lyrics lol anyways greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷❤

Green. I missed the last one and I knew it wasn't accurate by starting this one but now I'm interested to go back and see what kind of crazy shit you watched 😂. She says "I sit and watch you" at the end. Don't let comments get to you, unfortunately you find those kinds of people in every fan base. You guys do great and I love your sense of humor. I also love that you don't hesitate to throw others under the bus too 😂.

GREEN- I love your intros, dont change them for the haters. Love you guys❤

Totally they are a green with envy. lol. watch the intros people! lol Simply love your takes on her videos.

Green was the color of the grass

💚 Yall are too kind for this! Again, don’t listen to the loud haters lol we were happy with the original video but THANK YOU for the SECOND reaction today. Maaaaaaybe because Taylor’s new album comes out at midnight?? *Subscribed after this one. A bit late but better late than never 🤷🏻‍♀️

🟩 keep being amazing guys

Thanks for doing this guys

Green. Nice to see some appreciation for a truly talented songwriter.

GREEN 💚 Thank you guys for redoing this song cause this is one of my top 5 songs from Taylor. 🫶🏼👏🏼

Green. Doing a great job. Keep it going. You are awesome men

Thank You for doing it again 💜💜💜💜 i loved

Green!! This was one of my favorite performances that I've ever seen of hers. It was so theatrical and understated. Sad and beautiful.

Green first. lol it’s funny I watched the whole video anyways it was so cute. The way you’ve handled this has had me cracking up and made you love it more. Hang in there.

Green. Great reaction. All 3 of you have such different and interesting insights into the lyrics.

Green! There are so many TS videos and it’s easy to make a mistake. Love the videos. Two in one day is amazing! Thanks!

GREEN ahhhhaahahh this is a very powerful performance.. and thankyou

The last line at the end of the performance (I'd say the video skipped like a second or so) is "I sit and watch you," the same line she says at the start. I believe it's supposed to imply that the main character in this song (which is portrayed by Taylor) hasn't ACTUALLY said all of these lyrics to the other person. The whole song (the out-loud complaints about their partner and threats to leave them because they know they deserve someone who actually loves them) all take place in the protagonist's head, almost like they're trying to gain the courage to actually do all of that. But in reality, it hasn't actually happened. At least not yet.

Green!! Love this version just as much as the album!!! So beautiful! I here whatever y'all say love your input and intros too!! 💚

💚 Green Glad you found the right one. The dancer’s performance is so powerful. Can you imagine having to look at Taylor with such disdain & almost disgust? It must be so hard. Thankfully, we know it’s a performance and we see them beautifully happy & fun throughout other performances, including Style. And two in one day…thank you.

I can't with you guys...dead 😂

Green........ was the color of the grass where I used to read at Centennial Park 🎶🎶🎶 also, sending love for Mike

I'm a huge fan of broadway and Taylor's tours have always had a theatrical element to them, but this Eras Tour is next level in the performances. I've seen the movie too many times already as if i hadn't been tuning in every show from a grainy livestream. She's incredible!!

Greeen!! 💚💚💚💚 Loved this and i appreciate you doing another reaction! I love your reactions so much! ❤️‍🩹 Also: really swifties aren’t nasty and we don’t support it!

I just love these videos! It’s so much fun to see how you guys react to these videos with no context. It’s so interesting to see what you pick up on. Thank you for keeping us entertained haha ❤

🫑💚also thank you for the reaction, ive been loving the taylor swift ones

Green!! For this one and the other one 😊

Greeeeeen 💚 Always watch the intro!!

Green!💚 Unexpected ~ but, really appreciate the re-do!🙌 You guys rock!👊

Thank you so much, it’s such a moving performance

Greeeeeeeeeeennnnn and then it goes into reputarionnn wildd

🚪🟢🟢 it gets me every time I watch this, knife in the 💔 heart

Green. I am here for this!

💚 i never thought you guys would do this again but so happy you did.

Green 💚💚 #DoBetterMike (KIDDING) Y’all are amazing and are really putting in the WORK for us. Thank you! I’m sorry on behalf of all the bozos who lashed out for no reason. ❤

I love that you really digest the lyrics 🥰🥰🥰

green is my favorite color ofc!

lol you guys are funny🍀🦖

✅ you guys are doing a great job - ignore the haters. If they want to see the original video so badly they can just go watch it instead of dragging you.

Green! Please ignore the people that want to hate. You guys literally don’t have to post anything or listen to anything people ask you too, you do it because the fans love it and they should appreciate that regardless. Glad you got to see the full Eras performance though! ☺️

Green💚 I love to hear you guys talk and discuss music with each other

Green! Loved your reaction!

Green, thank you so much for the extra effort you guys put in. This is my favorite song so to see you react to the actual lyrics is awesome😍🥳

🟢 this is my favourite performance from the concert. I love the way they used lighting to turn the massive stage into a small room.

GREEN 💚🍏🟩🟢🐸🐍 fellow Denverite here! Love your reactions, keep up the good work!
