Taylor Swift - Reaction - Exile ft. Bon Iver (Long Pond Session) 

There is a reason this song was nominated for a Grammy as best collab. Didn’t win but this song is probably one of the many reasons folklore won AOTY.

She wrote this song initially with her boyfriend! He wrote the piano melody and the first verse and was just playing it at their house and she heard him and was like “uhm hi hello can we work on this together?” I just think it’s so cool that two people who are in love could write such a heart wrenching breakup song together! Also, Justin (bon iver) helped build the bridge in his style! Very cool collaborative effort to make such a good song.

Taylor and Bon Iver (his real name is Justin Vernon) made another song together called 'evermore' from the album 'evermore'. it's not quite the same as exile but it grows on you.

The duo is the most phenomenal collaboration ever happened in history. Their voice with each other were just breathtaking

You don't hear Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) sing low all that much. He tends to live in the falsetto range. He's genius. Highly recommend his albums. Nice reaction.

This is one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. I can talk about it for hours but in conclusion, it's a masterpiece. This song got me to check out Taylor's music, I knew she was a great songwriter but after this I felt it with every single piece of my heart. Beautiful.

This song doesn't have a music video. Taylor released official lyrical videos for the whole album. You can give them a try. Both folklore and evermore are lyrical masterpieces 💜❤️

At 4:00 when you said, "STOP!" That was a dramatic moment when he started up again with her. Just f***ing amazing. Heartfelt Heartbreaking and genuinely an amazing duet. This particular rendition or version is definitely my favorite. Thank u

It feels so universal, that miscommunication that can ruin what should have been a good thing.

This song is beautiful and tragic at the same time. So unfair they didn't win the Grammy.

I'm still super upset this song didn't win a Grammy.

Soon as Bon Iver starts to sing his voice gives me goosebumps! Beautiful what a gift!

This Song is 🔥 It deserved a Grammy.

I know this is an old video, but this is my favorite reaction to this song 😭❤️ I cant stop watching

Don’t know if the creator will see this but I love your reactions. I’m a 60 year old guy who played in bad bars for 20 years and a 4 minute song can make me feel every emotion that the world contains. This celebration of music that you share here is artful and beautiful. There is nothing like music. It holds everything beautiful.

They harmonize so well together. Exile, Evermore and Renegade are masterpieces, they never disappoint when they collaborate, they need to do it again in the future tbh.

lmaoo when u say “woahah stoppp, did u hear his voice in the background” such a mood, love this song😂😂❤️

this is my favorite song from folkrore and evermore, Bon Iver voice is mesmerizing

This is the most beautiful song ❤

You're the first person I've seen comment on the call and response between them, I'm obsessed with it. It really sums up why the relationship doesn't work in just a couple of lines. The agony of it all still gives me chills over a year after first listening to it. This song should have won a grammy!

this proves that folklore is taylor's best album vocally

This song brought me in a different time in my life 😢❤so delicate …

One of my favorite duets of ALL TIME!

First time I heard his voice I was like WOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I love that Taylor’s partner Joe Alwyn (who is a UK actor) wrote the start of this just playing around during lockdown.

I love seeing someone moved the same way I was when I first heard this song! 10/10

One of the most beautiful songs ever!

this is a masterpiece

I hear this exact verbal dance “X is really hurting, and yeah Y’s hurting too but Y’s the one who made the decision to end it” around a lot of breakups. I just think people forget that a lot of times Y made that choice because they were suffering IN the relationship.

If you love this, you absolutely have to check out The Last Time Feat. Gary Lightbody (lead singer of Snow Patrol)! It gives the same vibes, same great harmonies, same back and forth. She's also done a second song with Bon Iver (Justin) called Evermore.

You have to take a look at Bon Iver’s other songs. He's incredible and very talented

Awww you reacted to Exile, it is a beautifully sad song sincerely hahaha, but without a doubt their voices complement each other and it sounds great, one of the best songs on the album

oh wow...witnessing someone witness Justin for the first time, moved me to tears. Music is magic & humans are still beautiful. Love this.

It’s especially impressive because they weren’t in the same room. She sent him her recording and her did his separately because it was during Covid.

I'd really hope they collaborate again bc their voices together are literal heaven

Bon Iver is a project/band for Justin Vernon, who is a friend of Aaron Dessner. He and Dessner have a joint project called Big Red Machine, which also released an album this year. Vernon did a duet on Evermore (title track), and sang harmony or played instrumentals on several other tracks. So far as I know, he and Taylor have never met in person, because of the pandemic (and her mother's being very high risk from chemo.).

I absolutely LOVE how he takes time to give us his point of view of the lyrics! And how he really appreciates the song. Keep doing what you're doing :)

and this is one of the best bridges I've ever heard

Omg my top 3 on folklore. It's so so good. MASTERPIECE.

When Taylor released Folklore, this was the first song I've loved. It's the best and Bon Iver's voice is so amazing, no one can sing like that!! and Taylor's voice became deep and sounded so so incredible.

This song is easily one of my favourites from Exile. Same with Evermore (from Evermore). He has such an incredible range and both songs…chills for days

We are all in love with exile, it's precious

I need to see them on the same stage singing this live like now.

you’ll love evermore ft bon iver too, there’s no video on it but there are offical lyric videos

My favourite song from the album 😍 This, Coney Island and the last time are masterpieces - her duets are amazing

Gorgeous Song. The Lyrics - The Story is Romantically Charged With Unforgettable Love For Each Other that’ll Never Let Go. Those brave piano chords are simple but immensely powerful. ♥️. I wish Swift had more songs like that. His baritone/bass vocals were dark, rich and beautiful-filled with many Raw Emotions creating one of the best duets I have ever heard in a very very long time. Blended perfectly together, yet two different styles and sound and Two octaves down from Swift for a bit. There’s harmony but then there’s this, it’s rare and it gave me goosebumps and hit my heart. Fabulous piece Work of Art

one of my all time favorites for sure

Reminder this lost to rain on me. Not trashing the song but we will never ever get something like exile ever again.

They couldn't do an official video because of Lockdown....This is the only live performance... This is one of the songs she wrote with Joe Alywn who gave the male point of view. Joe being an actor at a time when the industry had completely closed down...He also co-wrote Betty on Folklore.

I really love Tylor’s choice of words, “It took you five whole minutes” is kinda ironic, because it says WHOLE, as if it’s something a lot, while they’re actually just minutes, lol idk how to explain the beauty in that i hope u get it😵‍💫

Chills every time I hear it. Just the raw and real pain of a relationship that dies. Stunning song.

Bon Iver has made some of the best albums of past 20 years. And they are all very different in style and sound. Justin Vernon is truly an artist.

Grammy nominated song for a reason 😁🔥

I've said this many times before, but you totally are one of my favourite reactors, if not THE favourite. You seem to pick up the vibe & subtle nuances of every song you dive into, not just the obvious ones. I usually agree with everything you say - you know how to put my feelings into words. Once again, thank you. (I might even forgive you of not knowing who Bon Iver is.) About the song: I remeber when "Folklore" dropped, and I really did not get the hype. I know Taylor is super popular and gets praised all the time, and I like some of her work, but I think she is just slightly overrated as an artist. I love her persona, the career, the talent and everything, but for me she is a bit too superficial. This song though! When I listened Folklore the first time, this one stood right out. It is the song on that album hands down, and I couldn't stop listening to it. Bon Iver was the perfect artist for her to duet with; their voices complement eachother, and he sounds so honest in this. I believed every word they sang. Definitely one of my favourite tunes in 2020. Great song.

It took a while for Folklore to grow on me since I wasn't that familiar with Taylor's music, but damn this is SUCH a good album😫 You should definitely check Bon Iver's proyects

This is one of my absolute favorite songs ever . It’s stunning !

the long pond videos kinda have an attached like clip where they talk about the song, the meaning, writing or anything really related to the song, it's quite interesting

This and peace are my absolute favorites off folklore. this is a beautiful emotional song

They have other songs together check out Evermore (the song) and Renegade, he also does some backing vocals on some Evermore songs (Ivy)

Bon Iver! I recognize that name. "Skinny Love" is a song of his I really love. You can feel the emotions behind it.

Greatest female artist of all time

This song is out of this world, Taylor wrote it with her boyfriend Joe

What I love about this song is the contrast between their voices and the call and response about the signs given (or not given).

The most beautiful song about loss. I absolutely love Justin Vernon.. my favourite artist ever. Their voices are perfect together. And of course the wonderful Aaron Dessner on piano.. The album Folklore, Taylor worked with Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) through all of this album.

Justin is amazing. He usually sings falsetto which is just as amazing as his chest voice. I recommend checking out some of his work in Bon Iver. Some recommendations: “Hey, Ma”, “Holocene”, “Beth/Rest”, “Skinny Love” (his first hit), or this heart wrenching live cover of “I Can’t Make You Love Me”: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q3VjaCy5gck.html

I can just imagine Bon Iver as a country singer he would be incredible 👍

Please, please, PLEASE look more into Bon Iver's discography, you will not be disappointed. Skinny love is probably his most popular, but my favorites are Sh'Diah, Blood Bank, and 33GOD. There aren't enough reaction channels that cover him, he's absolutely amazing. Been my favorite artist for going on 8 years

One of the greatest reactions I've seen. You could actually feel him feeling this song...he couldn't even stop, and we didn't want him to stop it either! 🥹

I know bon iver from his song "skinny love" and I've been loving this song by taylor and him! Thanks for the reaction!

Coney Island is another beautiful TS duet, and the storyline is achingly sad as well

You just gained another subscriber! It frustrates me when reactors fail to react to brilliant lyrics/songwriting. 😉

Bon Iver is a musical genius. Would love to see you react to his albums

Skinny love is by Bon Iver, I feel like most people know that song. His work is beautiful.

I love your Taylor content ❤️ thank you for doing those!

Finally omg! Thank you I love you ❤️

omg i love your reaction you are giving this masterpiece sooo much earned respect i love it love it love it thanks for a great video man.

This song is beyond amazing! 💕 I am glad you enjoyed it.

I could listen to this song a million times. I fell in love with it and it easily became a top 5 (out of her discography). They are a perfect balance. Their voices are what I hope to hear when I cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge. Absolute perfection 🥰 💞

For the other content. In the edit try lowering the opacity of the video. You can also flip it or add text over the video

So glad you loved this song, it deserves all the love and appreciation.

Oh lord an 10 minute all to well short film reaction would make my world happy

I love this song so much! Thank you for sharing your reaction.

This is one of my favorite songs literally ever. I've always loved the contrast of gritty male vocals with beautiful, smooth female vocals (Nymphetamine by Cradle of Filth ft. Liv Kristine & Broken by Seether ft. Amy Lee were two of my favorite growing up), but this is both that contrast and one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. The give & take, the wisdom and experience necessary to write the story it tells, it's a masterpiece.

I've been listening to this song alot. As someone who's been through a situation like this makes me wanna cry. This song and their voices are perfect. It's a real masterpiece ❤️

i love this song!

Absolutely beautiful

I just started watching your reaction videos and this is probably my favorite so far! You looked so mind blown the whole time 😂 that's exactly how I was when I heard it for the first time!

Your reaction was my reaction. Love it sooo much!

I love watching him react so amazingly to a song and I know that the best part hasn’t even happened yet and he’s already freaking out!

This song is so beautiful

Excellent reaction! I love it!!!

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, thanks

Aaron dessner (the piano player) is also amazing big red machine is a side project he has with Justin

The recorded version on “folklore” is even better

Great reaction. Huge Bon Iver fan and this was a phenomenal collab

I love him and while I am not a huge Taylor fan this has been on repeat all year on my playlist.

This song is a masterpiece

Perfect fusion!

Dude i feel when you say you were unable to pause cause the song is just so good like that 😭

We all love his voice 🍷👁️👄👁️
