My band! open.spotify.com/artist/19ErqV3IIZFacXLQF0mqgs?si=pm1dKXTQT8Gc0EwBWgG07w Andromeda Live! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMigpcWc08iZf2g.html

PLEASE do a song-writing series on Folklore!! Thanks so much for these videos and your unique perspective on writers and performers.

Taylor is considered a good singer with a vocal range of A2 - E6 (3 octaves 6 notes, thats 42 notes in total! ). It was D3- G5 (2 octaves 3 notes) when she started, but she since matured and has trained extensively. However, her octave range is just part of her vocal skill. Her ability to speak passion, sorrow, joy, pain and more into her songs gives them an emotional depth and presence that comes across to the listener in sound and emotion. Your ears hear it, your heart feels it. Taylor is ranked at 102 in Rolling Stone's The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. She's right behind Gladys Knight and just ahead of Leonard Cohen and Aaron Neville and a slew of others you probably respect. Taylor ranks eighth on Greatest of All Time Artists-a Billboard list ranking music acts based on chart success-as the only 21st-century act in the top 15.

It's awesome for one great singer like yourself to recognize and give credit to another great singer.

Her vocals live are even better than on the album!!! Agree listen to False God next

I started really paying attention to Taylor Swift during the pandemic when I listened to "Folklore" all the way through without stopping. I guess at 73 years old you can call me a Latter Day Swifty, and I'm enjoying the ride! Songwriter, singer, performer, designer/producer of videos and films. I also learned recently that she started training for the Eras Tour by running on a treadmill and singing all 44 songs she performs during each concert. Talk about breath control! You can also see the improvement of her singing over the years from album to album.

"At some point, some of ya'll, gotta shut the f*** up" 🤷‍♀ Amen!!

This was also almost ten years ago. She’s even better now. Like wine, she just gets better with age.

There's a reason why she is a billionaire.....and those who are talking sh*t aren't

So she can sing, write, design great videos and sing 44 songs live without a break on tour. She is getting ready to play 6 soldout concerts in Singapore. She is amazing

Why was I falling in love with him the longer I watched the video??? While Wildest Dreams was playing!? Lord, help me. 😂❤️‍🔥😂

The sipping to make a point is so petty and I love it so much 😂

She’s a very underrated guitar and piano player as well. But yeah people just need to stfu and enjoy.

I've played piano since I was a kid, and have a decent singing voice, but my brain ceases to function anytime i try to do both at the same time, so any musician who can sing while playing an instrument, and do it this well, gets an A+ in my grade book.

The thing is, she absolutely has the ability to hit ridiculous high notes, belt, and do umpteen runs in a song if she wanted to. She's proven she can do that on countless occasions. She simply saves those elements for when they can really pack a punch in her storytelling. First and foremost, she is a songwriter and a storyteller, and that's why I respect her so much. Loved your reaction!!! Also, City of Sound's music is exactly my taste! I haven't heard a song I haven't liked. Are you going to be on Pandora anytime soon?

You: *drinks tea and raises eyebrows* Love it!

You should totally do a “Folklore” and “Evermore” full album reactions but separately!! Please and Thank You 🩶🤎

I really don't know why people hate her so muuuuch, is frustrating. She is like the full package, she can: sing, play a lot of instruments, writes like nobody (there are courses in Universities about her writing), produces and directs. When I don't like something or someone, I just pass. Why people have the need to hate her so much? it doesn't makes sense, it would exhaust me. Love the sipping while trashing the haters jajajaja just for that you're a Swifty

The coffee sip is the biggest FU to the haters! 😂😂 Please, please, please do a deep dive on Folklore!

The city of lover live performances showcase her great vocals too

You can 100% see how much work she put into her vocals. Imo, I noticed it most from red to 1989 tours.

I love this song also. I didn’t become a “fan” until this past summer. When I saw the music video, I was shocked. I was actually shocked by how many songs I loved and had zero clue she sang! She’s awesome!

she does other songs from this performance and each are gorgeous

I’m a Swiftie. Swifties don’t expect her to be Beyoncé. But she is one of the greatest songwriters, ever. And those songs came from her life and soul. Thank you for doing this. I did check out your music and it’s great. Folklore was my gateway drug to Taylor but if you like that listen to Evermore and check out the stripped down Pond Sessions. Also for something completely different check out Reputation and Midnights.

You can be successful without a record label! My musician friend charted on Billboard 4x (two songs charted twice!) last year and got serious radio play without a label. Tommy Marz. His song ‘15’ and ‘Never Look Back’. And his song ‘15’ has over a million streams on Spotify (I don’t have Spotify so I think I remember that stat correctly). So you CAN do it even in today’s horrible music industry. Nice guy too and I am proud to call him my friend. 😊

Cornelia street live from Paris is my favorite Taylor live performance, she sounds so goood there!

👍👍 Well said.👍👍 For the haters I always ask "have you EVER taken the time to actually listen to her music"? She's a brilliant writer that can paint a visual picture while putting her lyrics to her songs. She plays, acoustic, electric, 12 string guitar, banjo, ukulele & piano, She didn't win the National Poets Award at 13 for writing poorly and 14 Grammys because she can't sing. ❤ Stay safe

such a good performance and i always love hearing what you have to say, you add such a good commentary over these reactions!

You're a swifty now, we got you❤

New subscriber here, really enjoying your videos man! Your sipping and “ahhh” has me laughing, thanks for keeping it entertaining ;)

Of course I love my girl and people who say she can’t sing are cRaZy, but also ✨your hair is HAIRING✨

Might I recommend Death by a Thousand Cuts or Cornelia Street from her City of Lover show in Paris?

Dude...I can see you really appreciate Taylor's music, do yourself a favor...listen to her song False God, or her song Carolina ...figure out a way to get the Swifties to your site, they will appreciate you...by the way...you are right...f- them...wow...❤ your song

YOU NEED TO WRITE A COME BACK SONG... MALE VERSION.. OF WILDEST DREAMS BACK TO TS!!!! ❤

I love your reactions, you're real and your expressions are quite entertaining. I'm also voting for you to do Folklore (Long Pond Sessions) The songs on the album are amazing yes, but there is something incredible watching her preform them, her emotion shows through so strongly. On a side note, also I am enjoying your music, added to the library to explore more! Thank you!

I was wondering about you today & your Taylor videos! Nice to see you again!

Rumor has it that she trained for the Eras tour, by singing all 44 songs while running on a treadmill for the full 3.5 hours. She is a beast. If you watch any live performance from that tour, you will see her dance & sing & when the song is over, she is not huffing & puffing, at all.

Taylor doesn't do vocal gymnastics and hold notes for ridiculous amounts of time or belt -- I believe this is what makes her so accessible to people of all ages, especially young ones because everyone can sing along with ease. We try to sing along with singers who do a lot of runs and holding high notes -- but we don't sound as good doing it. A whole stadium singing a Taylor song with her sounds great.

I admit, I was kinda surprised this wasn’t the song you were gonna cover, cuz I know how much you love Wildest Dreams. But also, honestly and selfishly? If you wanna grow City of Sound a little uhm… non organically? Start consistently releasing Taylor Swift reaction videos (continuing the band appeal at the end). And be honest about what you wanna stay independent! Remember that most people don’t understand the predatory contracts from record labels; hell, most Swifties don’t understand, even after everything around the masters. Hell, for that matter, if you wanna bring your expertise to the table: start breaking down some of her bridges and explain WHY they work so well - I recently saw someone explain why Cruel Summer (hahahaa just got to her clear bell belting at the end and your deadass straight stare look at the camera) was designed as a summer hit, and why they could be so confident it would have been a hit (without the pandemic), and it was SO interesting. I’d love to see you sitting at the piano and picking out her bridges and why they’re interesting, powerful, the role they have in songs - we don’t have a lot of reactors going into that kind of depth, or explaining what makes the structure of songs work. (We have a sfx videographer explaining how they do the music videos, we have producers explaining…producer-y things…we have a Brit who cries at the drop of the hat at, well bless Luke, anything…we have vocal coaches explaining her voice’s strengths, weaknesses, and how she’s grown…we have metalheads and rap fans reacting, etc. But AFAIK, we don’t have anyone breaking down her music from a lead singer, writing the songs POV.) Also, off the Taylor topic: the speaking bit in Andromeda reminds me a lot of Jane Siberry’s speaking bit at the start of It Can’t Rain All the Time, from The Crow soundtrack. Yes, I’m old and I’d bet $10 that like Tori Amos, you don’t you don’t know singer or the song. 😝 Go listen to it; it’ll hit you in the feels. 😉

Love your videos and your music! If you like folklore, it’s worth checking out the long pond studio sessions, the arrangements really show off the album and her voice

If you do a series on Folklore, I will be present and seated! Thanks for this!

This just came up on my suggested (taylor always in my algo as a fan), and added to spotify - binging the rest of the taylor videos ❤

People need to realize that music is art and unique to that person. The way they sing, their lyrics and personal experiences. Taylor is unique in her own way and that is what makes her music beautiful.

I was all geared up to come to her defense 🤣 Your song is beautiful btw, I'm definitely looking you guys up. Like right now 😋

Theres a video on rep tour where there were some technical difficulties and taylor sings the song acapella. Its amazing

I love you for this.

The haters are notably silent in this comment section...lmfao

Love that you love this 🫶🏼

I looovveee this version. Style is my absolute fav. I need her to do a rock album.

I love that you called out your own fans 😂❤ And I agree, her singing is all about the emotion, it mooooves you.

Her voice is so distinct. No belts, no screaming, no whistles. Just Taylor.

Could be her most brilliant and beautiful live performances!

I love your fierce defense of her bc you KNOW the craft. She has worked hard on technique over the years, and it has only gotten better since this video. Your voice is amazing, too! So good!

❤ I really enjoyed this; there are just some people who have to kick the tall poppies down to make themselves feel better. It’s just sad and I am glad you call them out. Also your outro song was great.

Aloha from Hawaii. I support the singers out there doing what you do. Cheers. Glad you are well.

My favorite performance!!! Thank u!!!

I have no problem with people that don’t enjoy Taylor’s music (even if I don’t understand why). Not everyone has to like her but what bothers me is when people start using completely false facts to back up why they don’t like her. ‘She can’t sing’, ‘all her songs sounds the same’, ‘she only writes songs about breakups’ like that’s just not true and is easily disproven? Just say she’s not for you and move on, you don’t have to drag her and her fans down in the process.

Love your music at the end of your videos, do you have a place to watch with the lyrics to following along? Thanks for all your effort and sharing.

Loved this reaction but I want to talk about your song at the end. Wow it made me a little emotional. Made me think of my kids. Everything in the world seems so dire and I’m so scared of what the future looks like for them. “I see the hope for the future right here” as I have their faces in my mind’s eye-made me cry! Thanks for giving me a little bit of hope for the future this morning.

You make me smile! Best new sub I’ve done in forever!

Haters gonna hate. They are just miserable creatures... Great video as always. Nice song at the end. ❤

Great reaction. I love Taylor's voice!!

Eras Tour All Too Well. So good and she is amazing live.

I'm not a swiftie either but she's so damn talented. Seriously. I don't understand the hate, honestly.

I love the way you defend taylor. This is what the swifies have been saying for years. Somehow people love to hate or criticise taylor and that is why the swifies is so protective. And sometimes called crazy

loved the song at the end!!

You got to check out her Midnight album. It's soooo good

LOve your conviction on TS. I came to her as a late in life skeptic and have been totally blown away.

“I love it.. leave me alone”… 🤣😂😁😁🥺🥺.. me too handsomeness.. me too❣️

Taylor has definitely put in the work to be as good as she can. She also does everything people say they want and still gets hate. It's so weird. Here she is singing well, playing her own instruments, writing her own songs, etc. You'd think she'd at least get respect for that.

loved the song at the end, added it to my library🫶 also idk why but my brain is having a hard time processing that you're the one singing, like it sounds so different from your talking voice! would love to see a long pond studio sessions reaction or something of the sort :)

I'm from Philippines and we are known for having great singing voices, while I agree that the most of Filipinos do have that quality, I rarely listen to Filipino singers in general regardless if they're Beyonce level with singing. IMO, Being a good singer doesn't measure on how high you can belt, its about connecting to the listener. Taylor does that extremely well and she doesn't have to belt to do that. Granted she's not Adele or Beyonce, but she can sing very well and her voice is so unique. I think the haters should stop honestly its quite embarrassing for them really, seeing the same "reason" for hating her over and over is just exhausting. Like gurl shut up.

I found your channel because of your Taylor videos - please also listen to/include Evermore re Taylor’s songwriting, they’re sister albums - as a swiftie even I slept on Evermore a bit at first 😅 and Midnights!

I just bought the "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions" Vinyl for a shitload of money, because it's feckin' awesome. These acoustic versions of the Folklore songs are so great. Her voice really shines there and it makes the lyrical content of the songs even better. She is a hell of a songwriter in my opinion and I come from a rock/metal background. My heroes are normally guys like Lemmy, Ozzy, Maynard,....

The haters are never going to see the things you point out but at the same time, she’s gonna still continually climb and excel regardless 💞

Girl can also do some major belts (see reputation tour 'don't blame me" ❤

my favourite wildest dreams performance is from 1989 world tour you should check it out the vocals are killer

I know someone who worked as a food vendor at a stadium TS played at. After the first hour, they weren't really busy so the staff each took turns walking up to the stage and listening to Taylor. She was not per say a fan of Taylor's before but she said Taylor can really sing!!! She was impressed with her performance and said her voice and she put on a heck of a show, Now this friend has had the good forttune of seeing a lot of concerts as a stadium vendor and she said Taylor was by far one of the best she's seen.

This is also my favorite song of hers and I will defend it with my life

Taylor is an amazing songwriter who singing has matured as she has progressed over the years. The live vocals on The Eras Tour have been amazing! All while dancing, being emotionally vulnerable & interacting with the crowd. A smart business woman, director & a generous & kind human too! 😊

If you like folklore you should listen to evermore if you haven’t already it has a lot of similarities songwriting wise! Love your videos and your band btw! Keep up the good work!

I appreciate Your Truth about this awesome singer,😂 songwriter,performer, Loves Her Fans, and Finally got a Really Good MAN..GOD Bless

This is my favorite performance of wildest dreams that she has done ❤❤❤

THANK YOU! ‘Nough said ❤

Her vocals sounded stronger and more confident around this era indeed, but if you want to hear her vocal prowess while still putting on the emotions and with just her and her guitar, I highly suggest you watch her Cornelia Street Live From Paris performance as it still remains as one of her best acoustic performances to this date, though I think it is an underrated performance within the fandom 💓

If you do a series on folklore you have to do one on evermore as well. She’s folklores sister album, a little more pop to the production but still very underrated and the focus of the Album is the storytelling and lyrics.

She is such a good singer😍😍

1st: that title had me upset! I knew you’d totally come through for us. Thank you so much. 😂 2nd: I created a Spotify account just for City of Sound when you first released it and showed the behind the scenes footage. Love the song, you look and sound phenomenal. I’m so incredibly happy for your success! It’s only going to get better from here. You’ve certainly put in the blood, sweat, tears (and every last dollar) into making your dreams a reality. Well done!! 🥳🤗🫶🏼👏🏻 3rd: Taylor is a lyrical genius and has a range that she continues to expand and explore. I’m a huge fan of hers and really enjoy the videos that she produces, directs, writes and sings. Yep, she’s the real deal. There’s so many people on this platform that STILL say “that’s Taylor Swift?” While looking at her female form through wide open fingers barely covering their eyes. “I still picture her with long curly hair, cowgirl boots and a brown guitar, singing with a twang.” It’s like, sure, that’s when she was 15 years old! She’s 34 years old and a full grown woman. Amazing what 19 years of practice does for a determined person like Taylor. It almost seems they’re scared to look at this attractive woman without feeling as if they’re guilty of a sin. 🙄🙈 Ugh. It’s just frustrating because she has a fabulous voice and personality to match it. If only people would stop listening to others and just listen to her for themselves. ❤ Ok. Novel over. Have a fantastic day! 😂🎉

Oh you should listen to outta the woods on the piano this same night I love it so much!

Pleased you had a proper sized cup to allow for each exaggerated sigh. Her singing and performing these songs so many different ways is quite the treat as well. Loved the City of Sound song as well!

People saying she can’t sing are stuck in 2009.. if her tone is not their PREFERENCE that’s different but objectively she is on key and using breath support… she can sing and is good at it. Then add her story telling, emotion, and ability to play musical instruments on top of it BAM SUPERSTAR

This performance makes me cry. There are singers with more supposed "vocal ability" that wear me out in like five mins --Beyonce, Christina Aguilera. Taylor has a beautiful instrument, and she paint pictures -not only with her lyrics, but with her tone. She is a master at wielding her vocal palate to let you know exactly how she's feeling and bringing you into it. I wish more vocal coaches would use her vocal stylings as a teaching tool.

Loved that you reacted to this!! I feel like you would really enjoy Madison beers music - she writes all her own stuff and has extremely deep lyrics. Her live voice is also so amazing. I would recommend a live session of hers. But she has all sorts of genres, but her production, voice and lyricism is so amazing and underrated!!

I also love wildest dreams. This is in my top 10 and I'm familiar with Taylor's entire discography. It's so dreamy and I love the sampling of Taylor's heartbeat in it. Also you're definitely a swiftie. You don't have to hear her entire discography. If you respect her and like her music you're a swiftie. Welcome to the fandom. Also Taylor's vocals have gotten so much stronger over the years. Her work ethic is admirable. She's constantly trying to improve herself and her quality as a singer/songwriter and performer.

This has always been my favorite version of this song

I truly think that Taylor sounds her best when it’s just her and her guitar or piano

Takes a great singer to recognize a great singer 💙💚🧡

This is so good and it was like 10 years ago. and her vocals only continued to mature and improve. ❤❤❤❤❤

I think she is great… expresses herself from her heart… it is the expression not the technique that is attracting…

Wow, your music is awesome too!
