listening to RED by TAYLOR SWIFT for the first time & hating Jake Gyllenhaal (PART 1) 

Hey y'all, firstly I'd like to apologize. I realize that the beginning of the video makes it seem like we're about to RED TV and as the songs start obviously this is the old version. I'm sorry that the beginning edit makes it look misleading. The reason I filmed the old version was because this week I was getting married and despite my personal life I still needed to upload in a timely manner for this HUGE release. I thought that since I've still never heard RED from back in 2012, that I could film in two parts. Part 1 being for the songs that were on the original (and now redone on TV) and the newly added ones from TV and The Vault. Since filming this video I have also filming a separate video listening to the ACTUALLY TV but it might be a while since that comes out. Having a life and trying to be a full time youtube is very stressful and seeing a ton of comments about how Im "supporting her stolen records" and in that way Pooper Braun is the last thing I need for my mental heath so please consider this message before leaving your comment. Thank you

"is this a fall album?" Sir, it is THE fall album.

troy: "ehhh i mean he had an obligation" troy, 30 minutes later: "YEAH YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE BITCH" I lived

Taylor said once that she made "We are never ever getting back together" the most obnoxiously pop song possible so that JG would have to hear the music he critizised her for doing everywhere. Queen move.

"The Last Time" is CRIMINALLY underrated. It so perfectly encapsulates how hard it is to let go of a relationship that was both incredible and not good for you. And the fact that it's a duet.. it can't be more perfect. Red reigns supreme!

someone pointed out to me that Taylor probably manifested 22 into being an iconic age because of how shitty her 21st birthday was and I have truly never been the same

i love how he transitioned from "oh i don't care about these exes" to literally giving jake the double middle finger during all too well

Even after hearing this version for years, it’s so weird hearing “you tell me ‘bout your past thinking your future was me” and not having “AND YOU WERE TOSSING ME THE CAR KEYS ‘FUCK THE PATRIARCHY’” follow up

You will be pleased to know that there is a theory that Maroon is Taylor looking back on her "Red" relationship and reflecting on how much darker it actually was now that she's older

10-minute All Too Well made me realize how kind Taylor was to Jake in releasing the original. It's brutal.

the 10 minute version is gonna absolutely take you out. it’s devastating.

Him dry heaving at "reminds you of innocence" had me legit laugh crying. I stan.

your reaction to Stay Stay Stay actually made my entire day, thank you for that. I haven't laughed so much in days.

Hey fellow swifties: why are we bullying troy when this is exactly how we experienced red? We listened to the stolen version first, too. And we wouldn't have been able to appreciate the perfection of taylor's version if we didn't. I know there are some of us in the fandom who can be quite aggressive, especially since we want to be alongside taylor in her fight to own her work, but troy literally just got married and still managed to put out good quality content for us. I hope we don't get too carried away in our emotions that we end up being jerks.

Every time anyone refers to ANY song on Red as it being “about Harry” it makes my blood boil because SHE DATED HARRY DURING THE RELEASE/AFTER RELEASING RED!! (Not your fault though king, it’s Genius’ fault here)

Him crying, sobbing, moving around a bunch is EXACTLY how I'd want someone to react to "the moment I knew"! lolol

Lmao the way this album turned someone who's like "maybe jake is just doing his job" to "fck gyllenhall"

I can’t wait to see the reaction to All Too Well 10 minute version, you will not be well

“Speak to me banjo man” I love how over the course of this album he slowly falls in love with a banjo and then realizes it might be a ukulele in sad beautiful tragic

your "interpretation" of "Stay Stay Stay" is hilarious. New head cannon. Thank you. Glad to see someone enjoy music and rocking to it :)

troy: i simply do not care who this is about, i couldnt care less, soz also troy, by the end of the album: painfully invested, checking every back story and planning to build a gyllenhaal piñata 😂

Troy: “I’ve heard this is a breakup album and I honestly don’t really care who it’s about.” Also Troy: *reads intensely about Haylor drama*

“You don’t feel pretty, you just feel used” that one hit hard… damn she’s a good lyricist

Troy at first: I mean him not going to the party is not that bad he had a work thing Also Troy: balling his eyes out listening to the moment I knew

“The last time” walked to “exile” can run!!! I get chills every time I hear Gary and Taylor sing together! Finally that song is getting recognition it deserves!

Knowing “All too well” and “the moment I knew” are the ones that got to him the most, I just know he’s going to be wrecked by *that* line in ATW 10 mins

YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO SPEAK NOW it’s my all time fav album from her and has similar vibes to the songs you like from red!! it’s a masterpiece

I literally had to laugh out loud when you heard the "they are all singing happy birthday to you" 😂😂 like the delay and everything and it sinking in is just wonderful 45:49

After re-listening to Red, I've noticed how many times she referenced that birthday party and how much it effected her. Man, Jake really did a number on her. I'm glad she's in a better place now with someone who will go to all her birthday parties. :)

YOU’VE GIVEN STAY STAY STAY A WHOLE NEW NARRATIVE FOR ME AND I ACTUALLY LIKE THE SONG NOW LMAOOO

on the eras tour, she sang "the lucky one" as a surprise song and introduced it as a song about "how terrible it is being famous" lolll so you're spot on with this analysis. trivia: 13 has been her lucky number through her whole life. the lucky one is track 13 and she says "lucky" 13 times!

Probably didn’t like it when she wore high heels because she is a 5’11 goddess and he couldn’t handle being a temporary short king

i didn't read the pinned comment until state of grace was almost over and i was like "damn she really does sound exactly the same on these re-records!!" but i'm glad you're experiencing the original for the first time now so you can compare it to the version she owns when you listen :)

y’all i’ve been a swiftie for 15 years and i STILL think people should hear the ORIGINAL SONGS FIRST… before taylor’s versions. because honestly? they ARE different. i firmly do not think people should stream the stolen versions but they should hear them just once before they listen to the new renditions.

"When you turn 22 this song WILL be on your Instagram story, you don't even have to be a taylor fan, it's part of life now"

This is a pop country album, I love how Taylor prepared us when she goes fully pop

I disagree with people who have said her re-recordings sound identical to the old ones! One of the best parts of her re-releasing her albums is new & better production and her vocals are MUCH stronger and more mature! The re-recordings stay mostly true to the originals but there are differences.

i always thought that 22 after all too well didn't make sense but after the all too well 10 min version, i just want to say i am sorry taylor. i'll never question you ever again.

The Moment I Knew is a heartbreaking masterpiece and is underrated

i love the way she put we are never getting back together after i almost do because she’s like “u we’re asking me if we could try again and i kinda want too but i know it’s bad for me” and then like “yea no. that’s not happening. no more thinking involved on that matter” i just love it

a little random fact: the reason jake didn't go to taylor's21st birthday party was because he decided to be a groupie and join Mumford and sons on tour and hang out with them. imagine hanging out with a bunch of dudes, not because they're your friends, but because you like their band instead of going to your girlfriend's birthday party like you promised her you would.... this man was a grown-ass 30-year-old at the time...

I love that you heard the original All Too Well before the ten minutes version!! It's so gorgeous on its own and feels like its own thing.

“Is this a fall album!?” No sir. It is THE fall album.

I laughed so fucking hard when you were singing Stay Stay Stay with the imaginary gun that I choked on a noodle. I will be suing, thank you.

Omg, the "stay stay stay" featuring "overly attached girlfriend" never occurred to me and I'm LIVING for it, lmao!!

This album broke me. I came to the party late, but found Red while going through my divorce😢😢😢. Taylor healed my soul, for real!

Not sure if someone has pointed this out already, but one of the most beautiful things about being a Taylor fan is all the easter eggs and call backs, one of my favorite being the imagery of the birthday party all throughout the album to then have her blowing out the candles in her music video of 'Lover' with her "lover", symbolizing that he'll be at every birthday party of hers and it was an awesome way to show the night and day difference between this relationship and the beautiful one she's in now

can you believe that taylor literally wrote "so casually cruel in the name of being honest"? i know it has been 9 years but still i don't actually believe it

THE FACT HE JUST PULLED OUT A GUN FOR STAY STAY STAY PLEASEE STTORP

Your reaction to all the sad songs slowly getting more and more emotional as the album progresses is exactly the correct reaction to this album. Kudos, Troy. Kudos

Y’all he literally is posting the reaction to her version this week. He had never experienced red so he did the old version to appreciate and understand the growth the new album. Also the man just got married I’m shocked we are getting content at all!! ❤️🧣 thanks Troy

Super disheartened to see this comments section was filled with negativity. Everyone should hear OG first in my opinion. While I exclusively stream TV now, I started off a swiftie with her debut album which means I listened to her OG recordings for YEARS. Everyone deserves to hear it. Just saying. With that being said, Thank you Troy for listening to her albums and giving us your reactions! You are not obligated to do so and I enjoy and appreciate it! And thank you for putting out a video so close to your wedding! Insane. Thank you 💜

Her and Joe Jonas dated for a few months and she wrote a few songs about him that were very… sad to say the least but holy ground was written after her came to one of her shows during speak now tour and looked back at it as a happier experience. Also the line from invisible string about sending her ex’s baby a present was about him and his wife’s baby!

NOT YOU APOLOGIZING WHEN YOUR WERE LITTERALLY GETTING MARRIED !!!! CONGRATS 🙏🏽 Don't worry about it, we totally understand why you reacted to the Original RED before, that's sooo fair, your reaction is priceless

Wait til you find out she freestyled all too well during a rehearsal for her previous tour right after the breakup because she was heartbroken and just needed to feel it through a song 🥲

I also had a terrible 21st birthday experience so I feel Taylor in 'the moment I knew' and this album is SO good!!! Rips my heart out every time. 😭❤

Hey Troy, I'm sorry people have been cruel in the comments. Sometimes Swifties are...a lot. Thanks for putting this video out at all!! Love watching your reactions. Can't wait for part 2! And congratulations on getting married!! That is definitely the priority!

Legendary song writing ability. Between this and Adele I’m gonna need life support soon

i had my first experience with this album when i was 13 and it has been my best friend through every heartbreak experience i’ve had ever since! i’m 22 now and watching other people listen to RED for the first time always brings me back to those memories, being 13 sitting on my bedroom floor with the album booklet trying to memorize every lyric and every other time these songs have been the shoulder i cried on… RED is a journey and i’m really glad you enjoyed it! sending love from brazil 🇧🇷❤️‍🩹

troy: he had an obligation, i get it troy, after taylor says there was one thing missing: *in tears* what

Ed wasn’t big in US UNTIL THE RED TOUR. He opened for her. There is where he took the chance and ran with it.

OMG YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

You can tell with these songs that quality time is her love language so it hurts extra hard when people don’t show up to things or leave her alone

you can really hear the differences between the stolen version of red and the music its so much better now im so proud of her her vocals have also improved so much its so nice to watch her grow

i just love how he changed from "common, it's his job" to dying while the moment i knew was playing... THAT'S THE FEELING!!!!!! can't wait to the taylor's version reactionnn

“…we’ll have a piñata with Gyllenhaal’s face on it!”. I’m dying 😂😂😂😂

the lucky one is such a masterpiece by ms swift, she starts the song off talking about a girl who has it all and she seems to envy the fact this girl has so much attention and always seems to just be loved by everyone. I love it when she says in the second verse "Now it's big black cars and Riviera views, and your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you" I love the comparison between this young girl who has it all but true love. She continues this idea again when she says "And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused, 'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used". When all in your life thing come from being beautiful and you see people treat you different, when taylor sings this, she represent the feeling that comes along with constantly being valued for your ever fleeting beauty. You no longer feel beautiful you feel like thats all your identity is and feel unwanted for who you are and used. The song then changes the point of view making taylor the new pretty artist that everyone is obsessed with and she begins to understand how hard it is to value who you are when you feel like anything anyones paying attention to are the shallow details of your life and mistakes you made. Later in the song swift says "'Cause now my name is up in lights, but I think you got it right" referencing how now she's famous but at what cost, she wonders how long her beauty will keep her relevant.

you showing love to my fave and most underrated taylor song, holy ground, made my week 🫶

Dude, we can’t forget! YOUR WEDDING!! Wishing you all of the best with your lovely wife so happy for you ❤️ you both looked sooo good

Fact : Troy is making everyone’s day so much better with his reaction

I am SO here for The Last Time appreciation. It's one of my all time favourites and I always feel it's under appreciated

I just want to say that you’re the only reaction channel where I re-watch your album reactions. Your sense of humor, honesty, and “production” ;) make it super entertaining. So I love rewatching because it’s just fun to go through it with you over and over. :)

My experience with Red: When the album came out me and my sister drove around listening to it at 10 PM while drinking milkshakes and I felt like punching someone and hugging someone and crying all at the same time. Great experience, highly recommend

"i mean he probably had prior commitments that's why he couldn't show up" The Moment I Knew plays : ~has a full breakdown~

Your reaction to All Too Well is literally still me every single time. ESPECIALLY THE 10 MINUTE VERSION.

I was having a devastating night: 2 am, extremely depressed and thinking dark thoughts, but this video and your reaction made me smile and laugh and even cry, in the good way. I survived another night. Thank you so much. 💓

39:57 that is LITERALLY her writing process though. for August she wrote the part of "remember when I pulled up and said get in the car" IN THE VOCAL BOOTH when she was recording a whole different part! jack antonoff said that working with taylor is crazy because she keeps adding good things out of nowhere when you think the song is already finished

seeing you bawling your eyes out to all to well and then jamming to 22 is such a mood she gave us all the emotions with this album.

watching your reactions to Taylors albums made me realise how numb I've become to her lyrics, man I WISH I could still get this emotional listening to her songs

I'm like 10 months late to this video but I was genuinely crying with laughter during Stay Stay Stay, I will never be able to listen to it without thinking about this video. This video was great, I know I'll end up rewatching it too.

‼️ATTENTION‼️ because know someone is bound to say something and idk if he mentions it In this video or not, but on his Instagram the other day. He stated that he did not listen to read Taylor’s version, because he wanted to get this video edited and filmed in time for him to go get married. He also mentioned that he does not want to discredit Taylor or anything, again he just wanted to be able to go have his wedding and have a great time and not have to worry about editing this video anymore. So please be kind, also not everyone is aware that Taylor is re-recording. So instead of attacking them for not using Taylor‘s version. Explain the situation to them.‼️

Bruh the hostage perspective during Stay Stay Stay had me wheezing I will NEVER hear it any other way now

About Girl at Home: I heard a theory that this could've been about Zac Efron. Taylor and Zac voiced an animated movie together (The Lorax), went on Ellen together around that time too. Apparently it's known that Zac turns off his phone during movie shift hours or something. Anyway, at that time he was supposed to have been in a relationship with an actress, I can't remember who. But they broke it off pretty soon after and it was speculated that the dating/relationship vibes were for PR. None of this is confirmed, obviously.

Your reaction to 'All too well' and 'The moment I knew' is everything a Swiftie could want 😂

Holy sh*t your reaction to the moment I knew was everything I never knew I needed. That song has been so critically under appreciated and you gave it the love and tears and screaming it deserves thank you for that

Is this a fall album? IS THIS A FALL ALBUM?!?! Taylor literally invented scarves.

Your editing is the most epic of any music reactor. We all see how much time you put into these and really appreciate it. Congrats on getting married! ❤️

the way i thought this won't get anymore feels till the end to me because of your reaction, you give us : 49:57 "put em in his place" 50:10 yes shoulders 50:33 "Illegal. Locked up" 51:22 yes, it is. and the growth to going in with pushing the Going to her Birthday party agenda😌✋🏼

i have 3 things to say abt red tv 1. it enhanced the album IN SO MANY WAYS that red is now my second fave taylor album which is a really big thing bc folklore and rep were my n.1 and n.2 and they were impossible to go down top 2 but red totally surpassed reputation by a mile with the taylor’s version, still not going to be my fave rn bc folklore will always be my fave but god this is so amazing, red was my n.4 fave bc its the album which i became a swiftie in 2013 so it has also a huge sentimental value 2. i loved everything except the “weeeee” on wanegbt but i think im gonna get used to it soon update: I already got used to it and don't mind it 3. it made me HATE jake even more than what i did before

To anyone bullying over the fact it's the old version of the album in this video: Let's not pretend like most swifties have stopped listening to the albums that have not yet been re-released. Good job if you did, but personally I could not have gone two years without All too well in my life. It's amazing Troy managed to put out a video in such an important week in his life, also that way he gets to know the differences between Red and Red TV. ALSO, the important thing to note is that, despite common belief, Taylor IS getting paid when people listen to the original versions. She has songwriting copyrights, which Scooter can never own. So yes, Scooter is getting money but so is Taylor. So Troy is not listening to Taylor's work without giving her credit and I think that's what's most important while we wait for him to experience the magnificence that is Red TV, and -I'm sure- then proceeds to never give the original album another listen in his life!

We stan a dude who can feel his feelings. Loved this reaction!

Congrats on your wedding!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this during such a stressful week! Your content is A+++

honestly, i'm very glad you decided to listen the original versions first. for me, listening to this album for the first time was literally a religious experience and i'm glad you got to experience this too :) i feel like listening to this one and then taylor's version lets you appreciate the re-recording more. awesome video and the best reactions as always. enjoy married life dude!!

So “I knew you were trouble” actually isn’t about Harry (I’m pretty sure no song on red is about him) because they were all written before they even started dating because they dated during the red era im pretty sure (another swiftie can fact check me lol) but “I knew you were trouble” is in fact about John Mayer probably :)

Love your commentary on the production of her songs and the individual producers themselves. I have listened to these songs hundreds of times and you are pointing out pieces of the production that I never noticed before. Taylor Swift is such a uniquely gifted song writer and storyteller that you get drawn into the backstory of each song. Watched your Midnights reaction then came here to see more. Thank you - loved it!

Sir the energy in this video is immaculate. I also recently got back into her music and I was so hyped for Red to come out, and your reactions are the f-ing BEST. Keep up the great work dude!

IM LIVING FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS VIDEO "i hope everybody except Jake Gyllenhaal has a great week" SDKFKWKIRJWIT

the EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER that he went through with all too well was the most relatable thing in this channel and that's saying something

I love Taylor but I tell you, this video is making me remember just how damn good it is and man, it is moving way up on my ranking. I’ve followed her since Love Story (and maybe Teardrops on my Guitar) but this was the first listening party I went to, 2nd album I bought, and it’s just so good

The way he was so focused on the production and not the lyrics in sad beautiful tragic killed me a little cause that’s the saddest song on red imo
