Taylor Swift - Red Taylor's Version |Reaction| 

Ajay putting a mark on a song is more important than metacritic.

THE WAY THIS RERECORDED ALBUM BROKE THE MOST STREAMED ALBUM IN A DAY BY A FEMALE ARTIST AND THE TAYLOR BEING THE MOST STREAMED FEMALE ARTIST IN A DAY SPEAK ABOUT HOW POWERFUL RED IS

actually, the Grammys doesn't matter anymore. any song Ajay says "holdonletmeputgoddamnmarktoit" is a winner

Fun Fact: When the label took “Better Man” off the original album, Taylor sold it to a band named “Little Big Town” and they released the song, and they made a video for it! It turned out to be their biggest song of their career and went #1 on the Country Charts!!

taylor: “i’ll get older but your lovers stay my age” ajayll: 👁👄👁

I swear all too well speeds up time cuz the 5 minute version feels like it’s 2 minutes and the 10 minute version feels like it’s only like 4 minutes. ALL TOO WELL IS SO POWERFUL

In “ forever winter” she is not singing about a boyfriend, she’s singing about a friend of her that died.

Most people: did the breakup hurt you too? Taylor Swift: did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

The fact that this woman wears bandanas of the colours of every album she reacts is insane *love that* Edit: Thank you so much for the likes 🥺

Shoutout to Phoebe for being the first (English speaking) female artist to actually duet with Taylor instead of simply providing background vocals ❤️

Taylor gave "Babe" to Sugarland and "Better Man" to Little Big Town back when they didn't fit on this album. I'd love to hear what you think of their versions as well.

Fun fact: Ed Sheeran once said in an interview that Run was his preferred song over Everything Has Changed and now having heard you can see why. I love EHC but Run is pure magic!

"give it up for her pen" HEYYYYY AMEN !!! Lyricist of our generation !

Who's gonna tell her girl at home (taylor's version) is completely different and basically a vault track???

message in a bottle was actually the first song she did with max martin and shellback, which were the producers on 1989! so that's why it has such a pop vibe

The amount of times Ajayll has said "SONGWRITERRRR" here tho

In the song “nothing new” taylor wonders if we would still like her when she’s old and almost a decade later she has started a cultural phenomenon of artists re-recording their albums and owning their work, she is at her peak and I love that for her👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Red Taylor's Version was even more magical that before. How does this woman do this I swear-

The magic in "All Too Well" in the 10 minute version is in the outro. It's like a sad romance and it ties it all together.

00:29 - better man 03:50 - nothing new (feat. phoebe bridgers) 06:18 - babe 08:22 - message in a bottle 10:36 - i bet you think about me (feat. chris stapleton) 13:30 - forever winter 16:31 - run (feat. ed sheeran) 18:07 - the very first night 19:50 - all too well (10 minute version)

Ajay confirming that Taylor Swift is indeed the music industry is my favourite thing in the world

the fact that she loves Taylor Swift completely now and praise her songwriting, her vocals and everything more - is clearing my skin and soul 🥺

I love Taylor’s version more than the stolen one. the vault tracks are all beautiful and it’s really hard to choose my most fav song, maybe the remarkable All too well 10MV

She said in an interview that a lot of these songs in the vault just never had a place on the albums that she was releasing. They didn't quite fit on RED and she thought she'd save them for the next album. Well the next album came around and they didn't quite fit there either. Basically these are good songs that just didn't fit the original theme and another reason is probably because it would have made the album too long according to her record label she was with at the time. Honestly, she probably could have had an entire album after RED and before 1989 and it would have been totally different but about the same kinds of topics.

Better Man is literally the best song from the vault. Little big town's version is great too, but Taylor's hits different. You can really feel the lyrics and emotion when she sings.

"This was supposed to be on a country album?" Red was a transitional album for Taylor. Whereas her first three albums were completely country, and the next few albums following Red were completely pop, Red was both country AND pop. It had songs like WANEGBT, IKYWT, and 22 on it, which are as pop as it gets.

"you laughed at my dreams -- " ajayll: 👁👄👁 ajayll: where are you now... and where is she now? ajayll: exactly GOT ME CACKLING DAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNN

23:33 glad I'm not the only one who love that outro. it sounded more beautiful to me after that melancholic final shot of Jake in the short film. it's beautifully put together.

Omg 1989 re-recording is going to have so many bops, and reputation is going to be even more iconic

Taylor’s pen game is OUT OF THIS WORLD. she is my role model and the reason i write songs.

the release week experience is incomplete without your reaction to midnights

I love how her bandanna always matches... *Ajay always understands the assignment*

the 10 minute version of ‘All Too Well’ is the most beautifully written song that I’ve ever heard in my entire life

Taylor: “Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it.” Ajay: 🎀👁👄👁🎀

Can we all agrees that Taylor is just not a song writer, she’s also a story writer

She is the only one who can express our feelings

It's incredible how Ajayll became a HUGE part of the Internet culture

all too well 10 min version was the quickest ten minutes and 13 seconds of my life. i think this is my favorite song of all time. so magical, so much emotion and imagery in this song. well worth the damn wait.

Every time I listen to “All Too Well 10 minutes version” I feel like I just want to lay in bed and cry. What a masterpiece. Just beautiful! I’m obsessed with the entire album.

The mix of genre and sound was reflective of being young and going through heartbreak and confusion and all the emotions you feel through all that. Happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. She called the album “a patchwork quilt of emotions”….each song can stand on its own so sonically the album is a little all over the place but on purpose!

Taylor wanted Red to be her first pop album, but her label pushed her to stay somewhat country! That's why the vault songs are more poppy, and the regular tracks are more pop sounding too! This was her original vision for the feel of the album.

Babe was actually a hugely popular country release when she gave it to Sugarland!

I like how you try to add "What about your promises, promises, promises" in every chance the rhythm can!!!!

forever winter means so much more because it is about her close friend. i love how it's so sad but comforting. rest in peace, beautiful soul

When 1989 and Reputation vault tracks will be released I'm sure I'll go nuts 😂

the outro to the new “All too well” version really is spectacular

- 0:30 Better Man (From The Vault) - 3:50 Nothing New (Feat. Phoebe Bridgers) (From The Vault) - 6:20 Babe (From The Vault) - 8:20 Message In a Bottle (From The Vault) - 10:35 I Bet You Think About Me (Feat. Chris Stapleton) (From The Vault) - 13:30 Forever Winter (From The Vault) - 16:30 Run (Feat. Ed Sheeran) (From The Vault) - 18:05 The Very First Night (From The Vault) - 19:50 All Too Well (Ten Minute Version) (From The Vault)

Personally the vault tracks took me by surprise. There wasn't one that I didn't like except the very first night, but its grown on me after listening to the album over over since the release!

no one: Ajay every second while listening to all too well: SONGWRITER

Timestamp

Red is the album back then when i first got into Taylor Swift, and I’ve been a fan ever since, the nostalgia this has on me, the All too Well 10 Min version is legit the best song of the year

I can understand why she didn’t react to Ronan, considering that it’s such a sad song and the backstory makes the song more devastating

NATURE IS HEALING AJAY PLEASE NEVER LEAVE US AGAIN🥺🥲

22:08 Taylor says " who's shine reflects on you " Ajay: "who tryna flex.. damn "

It’s kinda funny that you pointed out Message In A Bottle was on a country album, because I Knew You Were Trouble, 22, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (arguably the songs that brought Taylor into the pop spotlight) are on this album. It’s country pop.

I think it's funny how a lot of people aren't getting that the keychain said "f*ck the patriarchy" and it's not her saying "f*ck the patriarchy" I'm driving 😂

0:30 better man 3:48 nothing new ft phoebe bridgers 6:18 babe 8:22 message in a bottle 10:37 i bet you think about me ft chris stapleton 13:32 forever winter 16:31 run ft ed sheeran 18:07 the very first night 19:50 all too well ten minute version absolutely adored ur reaction to all of them HAHAHA

All of yall demanding her to come back!! I really hope she's doing good and having a blast on her brake of social media... But girl if you feel like coming back... you know we anxious for your midnights album reactioonn!! 😂 Lots of love for u ajayii you're truly miss!!

the amount of times I replayed her Message In A Bottle reaction was unhealthy pls

She is literally gonna lose it when she hears All Too Well 10 min version omg

Actually, Forever Winter is about her late best friend, Jeff Lang, who passed away due to drug overdose in 2010, shortly after the release of Speak Now. She talked about him while accepting a BMI Award back in 2010, after attending his funeral just the day before. She played him her songs first, and apparently they were very close since high school years.

I could NOT be more excited to watch this video. I've been looking forward to it for the last few days. Thanks for making these. They truly brighten up my day

Red was always meant to be Pop Taylor said, but in the earlier days it was labeled as Country for marketing reasons likely. So she made Red Pop with her version.

can we talk about how Message In A Bottle would've been a really good 1989 single...

“You kept me like a secret and I kept you like an oath” best line of this damn album I won’t hear otherwise! So glad you appreciated it

We miss you queen!!

i miss you 🥺 please do midnights, the world needs you

Now make an hour 13 minute long review of the entire album

“Forever Winter” is [supposedly] about her friend who sadly passed away from an overdose

10:25 AJay, Taylor re-recorded this album and Fearless and the rest of the albums released before Lover (Self-titled album to Reputation) because she doesn't own the masters of them because her old label sold them to someone and that's why she is remaking them along with song's that she wrote for this album that didn't make the cut in the original (stolen) version, like the original 10 min All Too Well, I Bet you think about me, and the rest that are labeled as "From the Vault", also the tracks Better Man and Babe was given to other artist, so now she is making her versions for this album, also, she added songs that she recorded during the recording of the album like the song "Ronan" because she wanted to own that song because is a very special one because is about the story of a kid who died of cancer, and the mother of the kid, who co-wrote the song, wanted the song be re-recorded to have control of the story of her child. Also, the songs from the vault are now getting released and rerecorded because Taylor was planning to add them on the next album but she never done that because she was doing other songs instead, so she decided to re-record them to this remakes if the albums.

I appreciate your videos so much and not to mention your genuine reaction. My fav ones, at this very right moment, are nothing new and the very first night. Love you Ajayll

Queen of reactions ily

Red was criticised of being "uncohesive" but it was a great way for taylor to test the waters before fully transitioning into pop. We love our smart queen. -Message in a bottle was one of the first track Taylor, Max Martin and Shellback worked on. Thats why it has pop feels to it. -Run is actually the song Taylor and Ed wrote first when they met for the first time. -Forever winter is allegedly about a friend of Taylor whom she lost due to drug overdose. Also imo The very first night feels like Enchanted's cousin. Overall i loved your reaction😊❤ please react to the short film too!!

you’re honestly and easily one of the best reactors on youtube

I am just really happy that you're bopping with Message In a Bottle. Love you AJ!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

23:21 petition for ajayll to provide backing vocals on taylor's next album

I love Nothing New because it sounds like a more brutally honest The Lucky One. In The Lucky One she's singing about the same thing but in an almost saccharine supportive way. Like hey, you're the lucky one now. Congrats, I'm gonna go grow some roses now. Which is lovely and all, but rings somewhat false. Nothing New touches on the feelings that the older, "no longer lucky" one has after that shiny new ingenue comes on to the scene. I think it something many women have felt as they get older, and the fact that Taylor was able to encapsulate that feeling at such a young age is so mesmerizing.

I'm rewatching this MASTERPIECE!!! Waiting for midnights reaction!

I started loving country because of her, and her mixing pop and rock to country is my favorite 😍 (her new albums wasn't my thing starting from 1989 to evermore, though i loved 1989 and Lover the most 😍) and now back to RED ERA!!! LOVE THE SONGS FROM THE VAULT CAUSE IT TAKES ME BACK FROM THE TIME OF HER COUNTRY ERA 😍😍😍

Taylor: *opens mouth* Ajay: SONGWRITER!!

Taylor, don't listen to Ajay, if you wanna make 1989 and Reputation 3 hours long, we are here for it!!

forever winter is believed to be about an old school friend of hers named jeff who had mental health struggles. she said she used to show him all her songs before anyone else. he committed suicide a few days after she released fearless. we believe this is the song she sang at his funeral. such a heartbreaking song. i can only imagine how hard it hit if she sang this on acoustic guitar at his funeral. rip jeff

Your reactions are pure! Love it

nothing new is potentially the most beautiful song is taylor’s discography😭 so glad you put a mark to it

it feels like a crime if you don't acknowledge taylor's lyricism, she has so much pride in her words and i get this euphoria every time i listen to them.

Ajayy, your reactions videos give us life!

Fav channel to see best reaction for Taylor's album😻

Forever Winter is about a friend of hers that died from drug overdose, it's super emotional for her. That's why she said she didn't know he was breaking apart

Nothing new made me cry when i first listened to it. The folklore/evermore production by aaron desner and how well taylor and phoebe go together was just a perfect mix, and it made this song my favorite vault track immediately

I enjoy so much your reactions❤️

I really love your reactions every time!!!!!

"She's so mature during her RED days" I SCREAMED💀💀💀💀💀

I can’t believe this is her first time hearing Phoebe Bridger’s heavenly vocals

I'm so happy you did this!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AJAYYYYYYY ❤️

I trust Ajay's review of albums and music more than any critic

PLEASE let this be the gateway for Ajay to listen to Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers

Literally the best hype friend yesssss amazing reaction

God, I was waiting for your reaction to Taylor's new album. lol Gold, love you so much!!!

Her eyeballs rotate faster than that giant doll in Squid Games when she's intrigued! Love her for that! ❤❤❤
