Yes. That's as bad as revenge porn. I don't understand why some don't get how violating that was. Imagine someone makes a waxfigure or an AI of you and put you in what's basically a porno. Kanye is sick.
Well even Werner Herzog called it a piece of art. It can be viewed as a revenge piece OR just a bed of people who have history with Kanye. I mean Kanye was in bed with Trump and Amber and Caitlyn Jenner... explain that.
the most insane thing to me is that the whole thing started bc Kanye was upset that Taylor won a award voted by fans! it wasn’t even the main category of the night…
Exactly! & Beyoncé DID end up winning the award he claimed she deserved 😭 He interrupted a teenage girl for the fun of it. He wanted to humiliate her & thankfully, it backfired. Obama even called him a jackass lol
@@marigolden_mariposa Yes & she won for the category Kanye said she deserved! He interrupted Taylor for a completely different category 🙄 He put both Beyoncé and Taylor in an uncomfortable position. Beyoncé gave up her speech time & invited Taylor to give her speech instead.
@@prayingbanshee Kris won't make her cash cow look bad, but North West has been clowning her mother on social media for years. Mason Disick has also been ruthless about clowning the family on social media.
@@nix2747except a year later Kim and Kanye get divorced. If trouble was already started in their marriage, the phone call turned more people against Kanye then Kim because he was the one with the song.
i saw taylor twice this week and you guys will absolutely LOVE the rep part of the show. rep is truly such an iconic era and rep tv announcement ( whenever that may be ) will absolutely BREAK the internet
Petition for Blind Wave crew to react to the rest of the songs from each Era after they watch the Eras Tour Movie. (And they watch the movie after they come back from the concert.)
omg when you guys paused on random parts for easter eggs LMAO but when you paused on the gravestone i thought you’d say this, so fun fact taylor writes songs under a pen name nils sjoberg and it was on the tombstone! loved the reaction! :)
The song Delicate turned me from a regular fan, to a full blown Swiftie. The song, the video, the entire album is perfection IMO. Evermore and TTPD are my other favorites, but really there’s amazing stuff in each Era.
Reputation isn't only the reaction to the Kanye/Kim drama. She had been at the height of the 1989 Era (her first official pop album) where she was totally overexposed and the general public was tired of the media over saturation. She was already starting to get the inevitable media tear down about everything in her life...her boyfriends, her friends, her looks, the overplaying of her music everywhere, etc. So the online snake drama hit at the perfect moment. She self-exiled and spent time trying to heal, while unexpectedly falling in love in total secret with someone who she thought would be the end game relationship. (They were together over 6 years) She comes out swinging on this album with the angrier, darker vibe, but if you listen closer it's really a love story about those early, uncertain, delicate days. It's also her first truly adult album where she swears, and openly sings about drinking and sex for the first time. It's hard to describe the absolute shock at the time. And yes, Reputation was the best part of the Eras tour. Once that beat hit it was like the molecules in the room shifted. The crowd was HYPED!
Someone please tell the boys that Look What You Made Me Do was actually inspired by Arya and Sansa Stark. Taylor confirmed. "I got a list of names and yours is in red underline, I check it once, I check it twice"
its so funny bc that line makes me think of Mean Girls when Regina writes fugly with red marker and Santa bc hes checks the list twice lol thank you for letting me know she confirmed what it was, i didnt know!
Why does no one ever mention that he made a sex doll of her naked body and put it in bed with him in the music video? He was 39, she was 27. Kim was taking videos of it and laughing. It's disgusting. Like, it's so much worse than the way most people talk about it.
I know everyone’s been requesting it but I really hope you guys do the Eras Tour movie after you go to the show😭 REP set is so hype Eric needs to experience it too! They’re so right about the Ready For It… intro, life changing
Aww Reputation my favorite pop era of hers. My top fav songs are Getaway Car, I Did Something Bad, Don’t Blame Me, Call It What You Want. Also I really thought when Eric was talking about Batman that he was going to say this is some vigilante shit lol. Love the reaction and can’t wait for more. 🖤
Fun fact: Reputation was inspired by Arya Stark's kill list. Like "I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined", GoT was healing for her during her canceled era. Hmm... never knew how she felt about the series finale 🤔
My favorite era!! This video felt way too short even though it wasnt at all lol. I love that Taylor embraced the snake image, she is such a Slytherin so it fits perfectly. Also, Im with Eric, I always want to find all the easter eggs!!
Some of the easter eggs in the Look What You Made Me Do mysic video, just so you get an idea: Out Of The Woods blue dress Taylor is the Zombie Taylor, implying she died in rhe woods. Taylor drinking tea on her throne of snakes is a nod to a post one of the Kardashians made, drinking tea nad calling her a snake, making fun of the hate Taylor was getting. Taylor in the car with a cheetah is a reference to Katy Perry. Taylor in a cage singing about how they got into her house, pretended to be her friends and betrayed her is a nod to the drama with Big Machine Records and her albums. Taylor lifting the motorcycles is her literally carrying Big Machines. The I❤TS shirt was one Tom Hiddleston was seen wearing while with her at the time. They dated for a while. The one dollar bill is a reference to the lawsuit she won against a man who groped her. She sued him for one dollar. There's 'Et tu Brute?', you too, brute? Written on her snake throne, which is what Caesar supposedly said when betrayed by his friend. The bathtub is a reference to Kim K having robbers get into her house and steal her diamonds, if I'm not mistaken they threatened her at gunpoint. At the bathtub scene you can see dead taylor in one of the mirrors, as her reflection, clapping together with the song and starring at the main Taylor. The bridge Taylor standing on the mountain of previous Taylors is in front of a giant T, for her name, but also reminiscent of a cross. As if her name is what brought her to the top but also the cross she'll die on. Taylor robbing a vault is a nod to her going against spotify and how little they pay artists, but also hints at her discography locked away by Big Machine Records and how she'll try to buy it.
I love that you put “look what you made me do” at the end. That song gets clowned on but once you know the context, it frames it so well. two big context elements missed. one is the taylor swift is over party on twitter. Which was the top tending hashtag. And the switch up this almost rap style (there is rap on the album.) as part of the canceling of Taylor people called her pop sound stupid and immature, so she came out with a darker and rap sound.
Her lifting the motorcycles was symbolic of her being the biggest act for of her label (Big Machine) at the time. She was already starting to have issues with them.
In 'Look what you made me do' (they made her get hard & leave naive Taylor behind) it's about Kanye & Kim, plus the media. Her first line says I don't like your tilted stage, don't like the role you made me play, 'the fool' I don't like you. Kanye did a tour with a tilted stage & he made her look like a fool with the edited phone call. The line saying the 'you said the gun was mine' I think she was saying 'Kanye said she would approve his use of her name & instead Kanye pulled the trigger & released it, without her permission'. I love that Taylor did this one about him & 'thanK you aIMee' for Kim. (Notice the capital letters in the title. I can't wait for you guys to get to 'Vigilante shit' about Scooter Braun. LOL She sings 'Don't get sad, get even'. LOL Favorite line.
I think it’s in the BTS of the LWYMMD MV, but Taylor once said “walking around looking so ugly (in the zombie outfit) is very liberating, so my advice to people (to boost their confidence) would be to have their reputation destroyed then come back looking like a zombie version of themselves” 😂
Why do everyone always skip the part with the VMAs 2015 where Kanye begged, lured and tricked Taylor into presenting him his vanguard award, had her standing next to Kim with her arm around her and then trashed her and humiliated her on that stage. every single time I see a video about their history they always miss that important part in the story. The pictures from that night of Taylor relising what was happening are heartbreaking. She ran off crying and after that he sent her flowers and apologized again and she once again forgave him... And THEN the 2016 off it all jhappened.
Truly though, it has been an absolute delight to watch these videos, specifically Eric and Calvin's understanding, recognition and that newfound appreciation of Taylor and her mastery. WE NEED MORE!
Another fun tidbit! When Look What You Made Me Do came out, people immediately jumped on Taylor for "copying" Right Said Fred's "Too Sexy." Except she didn't copy, she sampled them, with permission and credit. The haters were so mad they thought they had her, but they learned lesson 1 of dealing with Taylor from Rep Era onward: Don't come for Taylor because her house is always in order.
Fun tidbit: Taylor invited a bunch of the journalists who trashed her the most to the Reputation tour. They sat there and heard the opening montage of the tour...which was their own voices parroting all these lies and nitpicky criticisms of her.
Honestly, this reaction is incomplete without the live version of I Did Something Bad. For me, that song has the most hard-hitting storytelling of Reputation.
