Losing my TAYLOR SWIFT virginity with.. FOLKLORE *Reaction* 

buckle up! i've got her entire discography left lol

@@L4urynkingyou will not regret this rabbit hole given your reaction to this album. I started down the rabbit hole about 9 months ago and still have so much to hear for the first time but I have not regretted a minute. I have found that there are a lot of songs that hearing different versions from studio to live to acoustic to music video, are often all worthwhile because she often arranges the songs or portrays them or interprets them differently. Have fun on the journey.

Me too ❤❤❤

FACTS!!!

@@L4urynkingcan’t wait

Fr, 100% deserved for that level of lyricism and songwriting

Probably one of the most deserved wins ever really

This is why Midnights winning album oty just felt off…SZA’s S.O.S. was 2024’s Folklore imo ❤

True

i think it’s a smart strategy to pick the most media preferred song to be singles so it gets more popular than other ones. imo if she picked the best songs as the singles i’d cry because they’re going to be overplayed af

This comment is perfect, thank you!!! I'll be coming back to this for reference

Midnights is the best , folklore is boring as hell, we all hate Aaron dessner

Blasphemy- millions of people love Aaron Dressner

What about lover?

@@florana5961ummmmm speak for yourself

Yessss!!

You’ll find that many of her songs take a number of listens for it to gel, and songs that you originally didn’t like or understand, suddenly it all comes together and it’s like…I love it! Also, a clip for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YwPpI8mM94o.htmlsi=YulcIJi7cR6sSlDk

did i just see a swiftie conversion? omg ahaha how exciting u like this album 💘

mirrorgoat

It was my least favorite from the album to now being one of my favorites. Definitely a grower 🪞🪩✨

You were right about the drums, though. I would love to hear a version with those drums.

I agree. And Midjights is those with synths (the writing style is similar, it’s the production/presentation that’s different In so here for the mature, more in depth Taylor

I would say that the 3AM tracks from Midnights and The Anthology from TTPD are the closest to Folklore and Evermore 😊

FINALLY SOME TTPD APPRECIATION 😭😭😭

I totally disagree. I would say lover, TTPD, reputation, and evermore is on the same level, but folklore and 1989 are just that.

folkore is a masterpiece. TTPD is one of her worst albums. Same genre to a point, but incomparable.

Thank you for this little easter egg! I'll be looking forward to track 5 from now on!!

@@L4urynkingjust to add a little - Taylor was discovered at 15 by Scott Borchetta. He was an unknown manager, she singer. She made him. He was like her second dad. Then he wouldn’t let her buy her masters so she decided to leave him and go to UMG. Meanwhile, all the Kimyea shit about the award show the doctored recording, her cancellation all that stuff that happened to her in her twenties was pushed by Scooter Braun, another manager POS. He repped Bieber and many other artists and he had them all clown her and push the snake narrative and her cancellation. She hates Scooter and he is a gross piece of crap. Scott sold her masters to scooter Braun. Thats the betrayal. He was like her second father, by her side since she was 15 and he betrayed her. Thats My Tears Ricochet. UMG is letting her and all their artists own their masters now, or at least have the right of first refusal (the first right to buy)because of her. She figured out a loophole and has been able to re-record her masters and from then on owning them. Thats why you always see “Taylor’s version.” Its important to support her and listen to TS versions. So she has only 2 left to re-record. She put out Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, TTPD Anthology a double album, and a ton of her rerecordings since 2020. Went on Tour, broke records. Meanwhile, her six year relationship with a British actor unraveled and ended. She jumped right into another relationship with Matty Healy front man for the 1975. They had known each other for ten years but had bad timing. He always told her she was the one. When she went into it she was vulnerable and he love bombed her and then ghosted. Her fans hated Matty Healy. This pissed her off. Its a whole thing. Thats what TTPD is about. She has a very storied history that she shares with fans. Watching the Miss Americana docu on netflix helps understand her better.

@@izattyu6863 to expand on this, when she re-records she also releases songs from the Vault that fit the narrative of the rest of the album so even in between albums we get new songs lol she’s putting in WORK

First - thank you. Second -same. I gave my self car time to cry and scream. Been a Swiftie since 2006

Thank you for your service 🙏🏽❤

Same! I was like sure you’re not gonna deep dive into the lyrics….3,2,1.. 😂

We are in the ttpd era, let's stop incorrectly labeling folklore as fantasy and not about her life she never said that she said it was a blend of fiction and truth just like stories past word of mouth. The full details get lost in the shuffle but the essence of the story stays in tact

@@acetales148 I’m not saying ALL of the songs are fantasy, but she’s repeatedly talked about wanting to switch it up and produce something that wasn’t autobiographical. Obviously most of the emotions behind the songs come from experience, but why are you so obsessed with dna testing every song? What does ttpd have to do with anything?

@@monicaherrera2224yes. But now we know that she was covering up her own situation with JA and MH. She has coded the MH stuff with lower case and she was talking about the unraveling of her relationship with Joe, while it was still on-going. So. Its still pretty autobiographical. She said on stage cardigan is about MH. Puts a damper on the teenage trilogy.

@@izattyu6863when did she say that? I need a link to a clip or at least which tour date did she say that on or I won’t believe you 😂 she has never explicitly named someone in a song apart from JM and Stephen

@@joshuepico75can’t post links in RU-vid comments but if you search “Taylor swift Matty Healy this is for you I love you” you’ll see. They each dedicated songs to each other from previous albums. Not necessarily saying it’s about the other but dedicating it. But Taylor says in “guilty as sin?” ‘I keep these longings locked in lowercase inside a vault’ which points to a lot of folklevermore being about Matty

The tour is now 😂

I’ll second this. My fave is Long Pond version of My Tears Ricochet; stripped down to piano and vocals makes it heartbreaking.

Agree. "Folklore: Long Pond Studio Sessions" is amazing to watch. (see Disney+) she explains the motivation behind many of the songs. I was smiling as you described your feelings about mad woman because she said almost exactly the same thing. Also, the duet with Bon Iver is magical--even better than the studio version.

I try I try, thank you for commenting!

Thank you!! I am seeing evermore is the sister album to folklore, so I am excited

I always say that the songs Taylor releases compared to the album tracks are like two completely separate artists! Fortunately I love both 😊

Yes a hard rock heavy metal punk screamo ska alternative I want Metallica to do a song with her

its the secret (not so secret) swiftie dream lmao. ever since red and then the live 1989 tour performances AGH

THIS!!!!!!!!

You’re officially a swiftie. I think about a Taylor rock album bi weekly

Isn't speak now and a little bit of red rock?

As a nurse I sobbed to that song and I appreciated her so much more for writing it. Such a beautiful song

I was thinking of watching it! Not for a video but just for my personal enjoyment haha

@@L4urynkingit will definitely give you context for the story she weaved throughout the album. Her vocals sound amazing as well in the more stripped down version. I love Jack Antonoff but there’s just something about Aaron’s production that speaks to my soul. Taylor labeled him as her musical soulmate and I believe that is very accurate.

Yes, this was my experience, too.

Also for your own enjoyment or if you do a breakdown video of Folklore, check out the Long Pond Sessions! She gives background on these songs and performd them live and stripped down in the studio. It's incredible!!! ❤

Hahaha, I read the comment and somehow missed that Long Pond was also mentioned, thought it was the Eras Tour movie. (Also, worth watching)

One of my favorite songs on Folklore.

seven was in eras ?? i went in august & was watching lives consistently,, i don’t remember seven being there..??

@@bondubu It’s being read as poetry, and birds chirping / forest sounds in the background. It’s during the transition into folklore era.

I came here to say this haha. Holy hell angry version is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ll have a poll on my instagram this week! But I am excited for 1989, since I know many of those songs from radio play.

​@L4urynking I highly suggest Evermore but it was a grower album for me. It was my least favorite for a long time until the songs kept popping up at random on my shuffle play. Now it is one of my favorites!!

U r so wrong, folklore is her worst album, the best album of hers are 1989 , lover and midnights

​@@florana5961 babe no need to say she is wrong since every album of taylor is actually amazing. they just have different aproaches but lyrically [folklore) might be her best. And this is coming from a 1989/reputation/lover/midnights girlie

​@@florana5961🤨

Let's not lie pls

lmao lie about what???

​@@derlis_whatever7033 "Lie" is too strong an accusation for such a benign subject don't you think? I'm not saying that Taylor's eponymous album is on par with Folklore. I consider all her albums good for her age at the time of each album's release. Her eponymous album is amazing when you consider she wrote those songs as a novice songwriter between 13 and 15 years of age. It debuted when she was 16. Her talent and potential were obvious from the start. The album enjoyed a lot of commercial success; in the United States, it peaked at number five on the Billboard 200, topped the Top Country Albums Chart for twenty-four non-consecutive weeks, and was certified four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was good for who she was at the time.

ALL her albums are good. The rabbit hole is deep. Have fun.

The lie is probably that you can still go see her - tickets to tour are crazy hard to get😆 (and expensive!)

She has the Long Pond Studio session on Disney Plus which is a stripped down version of each song in lieu of a tour during the pandemic. It’s just her, Jack and Aaron in the studio with a feature of Justin Vernon.

Poll on my IG tomorrow, vote for evermore (I secretly want to do that next)

watching it today!

And if you want to see Taylor do rock, watch "We are never ever getting back together" 1989 tour. It's epic!

Folklore is her worst album, her best album is lover

@@florana5961 In your opinion of course. That's the joy of music. We can all have different likes and dislikes. No need to diss on my preference (seeing as how you replied to my comment. 🙄)

I would love to see a reaction also to All Too Well the Short Film. That song is epic as anything. the 10 minute version of course.

its still my least favorite rn, but I will re-listen with the next context, thank you!

This one will grow on you. Trust me. 😊

@@insatiatehope8842 Betty definitely grows on you.....I love it now! It wasn't my fav at first either.

Fun Fact: The names she uses for this Trilogy, Betty-Inez-James is the names of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds girls. They do have a 4th girl but no one knows her name. Ryan Reynolds joked that they are waiting for Taylor to tell them! 😂

omg I listened to the lakes after filming, I loved it! I'll include it in my ranking video. and I will be checking out the LPSS on Disney +

@@L4urynking They started Evermore the morning after recording LPSS. So it's really a smooth transition between both albums sonically.

U must be crazy, folklore is her worst album, the best one is midnights

@@florana5961 it's wonderful different albums, songs, lyrics, sounds speak to different people. Folkmore and TTPD anthology are by far my favorite TS albums, yet friends love Midnights and 1989 and Folklore is much lower on their lists

@@florana5961 There's a difference between "I have a different opinion" and "Your opinion is wrong".

one take???? its easily top 3 on the album for me

You never know that could be next

It will be 5 soon!

💯💯💯

specially the 2nd side of the album

I definitely concur! Imo, her songwriting is unmatched, more especially on TTPD. When she puts her pen to paper, she goes deep. ❤

Yes, her newest album is great...but it is heavy, and requires repeated listens. It both helps knowing her relationship history...but also confuses, because fans were expecting it to be about a specific ex but it's about multiple and non-romantic relationships.

I love her new album especially the 2am version but folklore/evermore is the best imo

​@@MSerrada1yes I definitely wouldn't recommend it to someone who just got into taylor it's too much to process and took me 3 days to finally get it

Hello, welcome!! im glad you found my page. also thank you for the insight on her albums. I grew up hearing og Taylor, she has come a long way from those earlier singles for sure.

I would say reputations leans more R&B than rock. For me Speak Now has more rock elements

Shut up, nobody likes folklore and evermore

wait- I don't see any northeast dates for the tour.. also TAYLOR DID A TINY DESK???

@@L4urynkingright now all thats left is Miami, NoLa and Annapolis. Then Canada. BUT. We already have clues that this next leg of Eras will add TTPD and many suspect that new dates in 2025 are coming. Fingers crossed. But this will be a mew eras tour, slightly different than the completed tour. She starts back up on 5/9 in Paris so we will know more as many stream the concerts live.

​@@L4urynking yep. TinyDesk concert by Taylor ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FvVnP8G6ITs.htmlsi=c3HZEl9NDGg_nXKf

I'm very open and excited to be let into this world

loving the pfp! I'm hoping y'all choose evermore next on the poll vote on my IG

@@L4urynkingWhat’s your insta?

@@L4urynkingnvm i found it

​There's another duet with bon iver on evermore ​@@L4urynking

She is getting more gravelly vocals in her voice as she gets older... I reckon we will get one sooner or later

Agreed

omg thank you, and welcome

debut is country, i remember when fearless came out people were saying it's not really country 😭

​@@cchase1282 I stand corrected! country pop it is

This is a perfect write-up and recommendation.

@@mydys717 aw thanks!
