“Did she write this?” Sebs. The answer will always be yes. She writes every single song. She had a contract with Sony Publishing when she was 15 writing songs for Sony artists. She is a songwriter. She doesn’t do songs she doesn’t write. She has co-writers sometimes, but usually it’s just one of her producers whose there with her to bounce ideas off of.
Yep, the only song in her discography that wasn't written by her is Untouchable. Other 200+ songs out and dozens of others unreleased are written by her
@@malikabrown2357 Yeah, I know hse rewrote some parts, but I thought that they were some major parts, but when I actually listened to her version and was reading the original lyrics at the same time it wasn't that much different honestly.
The only reason you wouldn’t like her personality is because what you’ve been led to believe by her enemies or the media. In a previous video you said you didn’t like the fact that she doesn’t take accountability. She most definitely does. I’m really curious as to what you were alluding to with that comment.
You don’t like her personality? Stop listening to her haters and the media, they make stuff up and exaggerate She’s one of the most humble celebrities you”ll ever meet/know
Want to gently join the mob and remind you that you've been mislead to think she has a crappy personality. She's a very funny, very kind person, who also sticks up for herself (basically the theme of "I Did Something Bad"! like she was called all these names, there was this enormous hate campaign, simply because she didn't tolerate abuse and people don't like it when women defend themselves 🤷♀️ I would recommend watching the Long Pond Sessions performance of This is Me Trying, complete with her commentary that happens before the song. It shows a lot about her compassion and inner workings. Taylor isn't perfect by any means, but she has a good heart.
She writes all of her music but brings in others to help with word phrasing and things that she wouldn't have thought of. I've seen quite a few interviews from her collaborators that say they feel they aren't needed because she does everything. One Republic's Singer Ryan Tedder (known for songwriting) has said that it was the 1st and only artist where he has finished and asked why he was there and getting credit. He said he has never seen someone who came into one of these and contributed what she does. Liz Rose was a co-writer on a lot of earlier music. She talks about writing with her for the first time at about the age of 14 (TS) she said she questioned why she was there as well. She says as a song writer, artists will give ideas but the writers are the pen. With Taylor, its not writing the lyrics for her with Taylors ideas but just writing as fast as she can while Taylor talks and then just organizes it to fit a good song structure. Then you have Speak Now which is 100% her because people still want to discredit her abilities as a song writer. Now she has her hand in EVERY ASPECT of her music. Even down to writing scripts and directing her MVs. She is a beast and her pen game is no joke. I think Taylor has a great personality. I think that people can be very jealous and I've seen it time and time again with some artists. That no matter what you do or how good you are, people will shit on you. People want to say her music is for teenage girls but go to her concert, there and females and males from all ages. I'm 37 and have been to 2 of her concerts and was supposed to go to a 3rd but the pandemic hit and it was cancelled. People want to say her music is all about breaking up with boys, false. She has 2 albums alone that are fictional folklore and 1 album (lover) mostly about love but not her breaking up with boys. 1 album about her poor reputation and finding love again after she was dragged through the mud by people for the fun of it. That is 4 albums with the same boyfriend out of 10. Her last album was themed as midnights which were songs written about anything that has kept her up thinking at midnight. So that is a mixture of different songs thoughout her career. If you go through her catalog of her first 5 albums, it's definitely there but if you were to actually listen to the whole albums and not just singles, there is way more substance then some teenage girl talking about all he exes 😂. I'm actually quite curious about what it is about her personality that you don't like or is it what haters and media portray her to be and you just follow that because you don't really know? As human being, we say things like don't judge a book by it's cover and we hate when people make preconceived judgments but why is it okay to do that to her? Is she not human? Is it okay because she has so much money that we no longer value her feelings as a human being? None of us truly know her but I think if everyone actually got to know her just a little, through the lens of swifties, I think you would have a much different opinion. Not trying to shit all over you but just have a conversation because I just don't get it! Anyways, I hope you continue doing these reactions, she really is the best.
Thanks! Months ago, I tried to find a video I'd seen 1 or 2 weeks earlier that showed someone saying that working with Taylor Swift was the one time so far in his career that he felt like he didn't deserve a writing credit. I'll have to look for a Ryan Tedder clip to see if this is the one I'm trying to find.
Everyone piping up annoyed about the comment he doesn't like her personality, chill. He admitted he doesn't know her personality, but one of the reasons you all get your backs up is how the media beat her up and smeared her. That's what most people heard about her for YEARS. It's completely reasonable that's all he knew. Focus on the fact that, despite those preconceived notions, he's discovering that she's a great artist, organically. Let it cook, folks.
How about the All Too Well basically has a short film, or Moment I Knew, its a bit of a story and i feel like a bit of gut punch when you realize why she was so upset he didnt show up or even tell her he couldnt make it.
Listen to your wife. Lol the 3 girl band "Haim" are friends of hers. They were in her Be jeweled video as the step sisters. You really have to listen to Goodbye Earl. Lol
You saying you don't like her personality is like me saying I don't like your personality after watching a few videos. Glad you go on to say you don't really know her personality because that's obviously the truth
Y'all should check out the video and song the highway don't care by Tim McGraw featuring Taylor Swift, and Keith Urban on guitar, and the video has a message say if you notice
"Turn of phrase" is any expression. Another word for it is idiom. They vary from language to language and sometimes mean something totally unrelated to the actual words. A plot twist is the narrative device you seem to refer to.? might be another way to say that, too.
taylor swift is one of the most GENUINE artists in the industry. if you don't like her personality, you're just believing all the shit the media has written about her. she is literally nicer & more personable than most artists today.
I get you Sebs. Liked her earlier stuff but I’m not a big fan now. But I’ve never been a huge Garth fan either. Love his music but I’m just not into a lot of hype.
Watching footage of her from her miss americana or long pond studio session vids, or from interviews, will probably change your opinion on her personality.
enjoying your reactions! not gonna lie when someone tells me they don't like Taylor's personality I instantly think "no, you don't like the personality the media gave her" Taylor's persona was brutally destroyed by the media. She's actually a very humble, funny, kind, generous, and somewhat self deprecating individual. She does admit when she's wrong but she does it in a satirical way. She's also extremely aware of what the media and general public think of her and she plays off of their criticism to create her work. She has written every single song in her discography; sometimes she uses co-writers, but most of those co-writers have given statements which confirm that she does the bulk of the writing and they end up being more like editors.
THIS. I recommended the "blank space" grammy museum performance because I feel like it's a good intro to realising she actually has a good sense of humour and just... seeing her true personality through her hyperawareness of the way the media paints her. I have a feeling he'll appreciate it plus the acoustic version's vibe.
Prejudiced like this towards taylor is what made me believe she was the most character assassinated celebrity.. Like girlie wouldn't have this much fans 17 years into her career if she's a terrible person.. we like her because of her music but we stayed because of her character.....
May i ask why you don't like her personality? I think her personality is great. She is so relatable and awkward. She is never a diva. She is great with her fans. One of the best with her fans.
I think he said in a previous video something about not liking how she doesn't take accountability in relationships and always blames the guy in her songs..
@@melatrude4269 well that is not true. She has a lot of songs that she didn't do that. For example, just recently she rerecorded Back to December. That is just one.
@@melatrude4269 Then I guess no song writer owns up to their faults because many sing those kind of songs. Not just Taylor. But she actually does take accountability and also blames the guy if he messed up.
@@Ricky48888I love Taylor but back to December is really the only one that she takes fault maybe besides I’m the problem it’s me in anti hero. As fans we gotta stop acting like people are perfect just because we love them. People have faults and it’s not always gonna sit well with everyone and that’s okay
He has preconceived notions about who T Swift is based on his media consumption over the years. Have him watch/react to Miss Americana so he has a better understanding of who she is. The fans will watch his reaction. They won’t care if it’s an hour long video, they’ll watch the entire thing. It will make his future T Swift reactions better if he has an understanding of her and her career and all the crap she’s had to overcome.
Taylor writes all her music - one her album Speak Now there were NO co-writers. her lyrics and ability to tell a story are one (just one) of her strongest accomplishments! I think you would like Exile (a duet) or Soon You’ll Get Better (about her mom’s cancer battle). Great reaction - again!
I'm telling you, you need to watch the making of a song series! It'll give you a look on her personality and how she crafts some of her songs. Or even watch compilation videos of taylor being herself or in interviews. Also, your wife is right. Goodbye Earl is the shit
Watching these videos can be so painful. This guy’s got a lot of unlearning and self-reflection to do. I’ve seen a lot of male reviewers express surprise by how much they love and respect her music when they give it a listen, but none of them were this… openly misogynistic about it. I hope that lady doesn’t feel like she has to downplay her music interests around him. She clearly loves the music. I’ve been there before. Edit: watch her long pond studios!!!
I am BEGGINING you - rollingstone magazine listed the song All Too Well as one of the greatest songs of ALL TIME! And that was BEFORE the full ten min version came out I am beggin you to react to the lyric video of the 10 min version!
It's also waaaay too soon for him to listen to that to enjoy it. He needs to get through Reputation, Vigilante Sh-t, and the long pond sessions first, at the very least.
Haim sisters are an indie-rock band. They are real sisters; they opened for part of one of Taylor's earlier tours, and have gone on vacations with her. They are _not_ country, and posted their astonishment at being on the country charts. Sisters are Este, Danielle, and Alana. Haim is their last name; it also means "Life" in Hebrew. They are currently opening for Taylor on the CA part of her Eras Tour, and did this song live a couple nights ago. Edit: Danielle is the sister who said "She was with me, dude" They sing the background vocals on the album.
im not a T Swift fan but i like some of her music and i respect her talent. You should/need to hear and see one of her live videos with good audio with no auto tunning. There is little to no difference between her produced and live performances. Thats hard to find a singer like that in todays world.
I’d bet money you’d instantly recognize the Calvin Harris/Rihanna song This is What You Came For if you played it. It was everywhere. It was massive back in 2016 and was played after the final match of the World Cup. Babe and Better Man were both big hits on Country radio and both are worth a listen. Better Man won Song of the Year at the Country Music Awards and a Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
I love how much you love your wife. Also, I really like how she kept peeking at you because as a swiftie she obviously wants you to like the music so much. Y'all are just the cutest. Also, Taylors the best, I hope you keep finding more. Folklore and Evermore are just masterpieces.
People who say they don´t like Taylor don´t know anything about her, And people who fell for the media brainwash. She is one of the pure, funny and most humble people on the planet and her vibration is very high, so if you don´t like her energy that says a lot about your own low vibration and bad energy honestly, and that is why her light is too bright for you to handle. So if that is the case you should work on yourself and learn to love yourself.
Taylor’s forte are mainly her songwriting and story telling. They have their own story and narrative. Across Taylor’s discography (>200 songs), she has accomplished more than 30% credited for the percentage of songs written solely by her, the highest percentage of the mainstream artists of her generation followed by Ed Sheeran (15.2%) and Adele (14.5%), in fact Taylor Swift is the most successful songwriter of her generation according to Billboard and other music experts both critically and commercially. The motive and theme of her songs are majority about the complexity of the relationship, about her lover, her ex, her parents, her family, her friends, her band, her fans, her haters and even her cats. Her one of latest projects that is album sisters called “folklore” and “evermore” took inspiration from fictional character with little snippet of her story life and talked about Mental Health, Child abuse, World War 2, PTSD, Pandemic, Infidelity, The Last Great American Dynasty (Her House) and so on. Taylor’s music touch people in a way that vocal runs, dancing skills, colorful wigs, fancy dress don’t capture. Taylor’s music can be played when you are happy, in love, heart broken, divorce, angry, sad, abandoned, child abuse, in a toxic relationship, panic attack, anxiety, addicted, moving on, indifferent, want to dance, want to cry, want to laugh, want to make love, etc. Thank your for the reaction, please react to Exile by Taylor Swift ft Bon Iver
I think when you say you don't like her personality, you base that of others opinions. So maybe you should find your own opinion after learning more about her
We need to understand that with every person who doesn't really know Taylor, prolly won't know who she is and what she's have done. If he says, he doesn't like her personality, it ends there. I am a Taylor Swift fan and I very well know how many times Taylor suffered from the Haters, false accusations, sexual assault, and etc. Too many to list down honestly. But, please, give chance to others who wants to know who Taylor Swift is. Let them see Her, from their own perspective.
I just think you're missing out on the fact the writes ALL of her songs because you checked if she wrote it. She may have cowriters sometimes but she is always the one who does the story, the concept and words of ALL of her songs ever since she was little. Just wanted to let you know.
I wonder if we could crowdfund a reaction video to her Miss Americana documentary… I would definitely be interested in seeing what you think of that. Also, your reaction to this and to “Never Grow Up” makes me want to see your reaction to “seven”… But I can’t tell if that would strike a chord with you the way it did with me. I think it’s an underrated song. If you do watch, I think it would be fun to see your reaction to the interview that accompanies the long pond studio sessions version… But that’s me, haha.
I'm enjoying your reactions to T-Swift. Some info, Taylor's friends with the Haim sisters and one of them is called Este. There's amazing songs across both the Evermore and Folklore albums, but you should listen to Exile (with Bon Iver) next. One of the best songs ever! There's so many things I think you'll like that'll help you "get her". The live rock version of 'We are never getting back together' from the 1989 tour (anything from the reputation tour!) The live electric guitar version of Wildest dreams for the grammys session (Well, all of that session really!) And the long pond session. She talks about all the tracks as well as performs them (you also see a lot of her writing process in the Miss Americana doc). Good luck with this rabbit hole 🐇😉😁
If you haven't already, you need to do... Vigilante Shit. One of my favorite songs. I was watching a reaction to it when her album first came out and people were saying they thought it was about Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta and now when I listen to it, I can hear that.
y’all i paused this video because i can’t go on until i say this: GIRL UR GORGEOUS ARE U KIDDING ME?! not even just trying to gas you up, i was literally thinking just a minute before you said that, “jeez, she’s so naturally beautiful”
Ngl pretty annoyed that or says he’s going into it with an open mind, gonna leave his biases at the door then says he doesn’t like her personality and then also states that he doesn’t know her personality…like wtf. This is painful
YOU HAVE TO WATCH ONE OF THOSE "TAYLOR BEING HERSELF FOR....MINUTES STRAIGHT/TAYLOR SWIFT FUNNY MOMENTS" or something like that's one of the best ways to get to know her personality
@@Violet316 that's true, but that's only one side of her, I feel like in those videos there's so much more... even tho it depends which one you choose, I feel like some are better than others, but I think that in those videos you can see not only the goofy side of her, but also the witty side, how she's not afraid to joke about herself or the things that media write about her, how she deals with mistakes on stage (we all know the "wait this is in the wrong key, sorry, one second" moment and others) etc.... but ofc idk if he's open to do reaction on a video like that, if not, Delicate is the best option... pr even I Bet You Think About Me, there are few moments like that, not many, but there are some....
you should watch her documentary miss americana if you truly want to know how she is and what she thinks and everything she went through specially with the media and how people were made to hate her for no reason
Taylor writes ALL her songs (her third studio album called Speak Now is written solely by her and there was only two producers involved in creating the album as well Taylor and Nathan Chapman) and she’s usually only in the studio with one or two other people. Even other songwriters have said that they feel they barely contribute anything. I think it was Ryan Tedder who helped co-write and coproduce a couple songs also said that if Taylor knew how to use all the production equipment she wouldn’t even need a producer because Taylor knows what kind of sounds she wants she just doesn’t know how to use the equipment. Also I can definitely tell that your perception of her personality is 100% influenced by the media and all the haters
I like her older stuff and I like this song. I didn’t know this song before I saw it on your channel. I guess I should look back into her songs because I thought she was only doing pop stuff now and I’m not a fan of most of the newer songs but this video lets me know I should take another look at her new songs.
It's kinda sad and pathetic that someone is doing videos of her music when they don't like her because they think it's more valuable to believe tabloids and media and how they portray her personality instead of discovering who she actually is through her work
You need to listen to My Tears ricochet, Champagne problems, This Is me Trying, Mad Women. Actually just listen to the Folklore and Evermore albums. She’s amazing.
@taylorswift is the best story teller ever ... OMG a crime story in 4 minutes... She is not good 💯 she is damn good.... Love you Taylor 💞💞 Swiftie from India 🫶🥰🎉🎉
Last video I happened to watch -- Ali "He's becoming a Swiftie!" Sebs "Well, no no no no, I wouldn't go that far." Oh, Sebs honey. I really hate to break it to you . . . (Also the "Did she write this?" question is pointless. She is literally listed as a writer on literally every single song she has literally ever written. She IS her songs.)
she definitely takes accountability in many songs, just listen to “back to december” her taking responsibility for why and how a relationship ended and how she knows it’s her fault and that she wishes she could go back and change it. the song is essentially an apology/love letter to the person she was with
This song reminds me of Carrie Underwood's Choctaw County Affair. You seemed impressed by Carrie's performance of How Great Thou Art. Well, Choctaw County Affair is something VERY different and I think you'd really enjoy it. Be sure to check out her LIVE performance at the CMA Fest to see just how talented Carrie really is. I think she'll surprise you. Keep up the good work, you guys. I love your reactions and particularly love it when the two of you are on together. Such a beautiful couple.
I think you judge her based on what the media has put out about her without even knowing her. First of all it’s not your place to judge anyone because no one is perfect not even you. But to judge someone on some notion that you actually know her and what she’s about when you never cared to listen to her before is ridiculous. But I’ve noticed that when people just want to hate on someone especially someone as talented caring genuine and seriously dorky funny like Taylor they just focus on what media and haters focus on and it’s so lame when all they start with is she only writes about her exes completely reducing her great storytelling and amazing writing skills to just that. It’s sad but also laughable because it shows that they have nothing else to say and you seem to be the same thing 🙄
Taylor gave her truck drivers hauling her Eras tour stuff $100,000 Bonuses plus hand written notes. She gave 55 million in bonuses total including everyone who has worked the tour. She just gave 100k to the person killed in the KC shooting. She donated large sums to food banks at every city she went to in the U.S. Every hurricane or tragedy she is quick to give back. She will study some swiftie social media and take them personalized gifts. She is a great person. If you don’t like her personality it says more about you than her.
You should watch her Miss Americana documentary. I think it would be really interesting for you to watch regarding her character etc. Love these video's btw.
