Vocal Coach Reacts to Taylor Swift - betty (live 2020) 

Had A LOT of trouble uploading this so be sure to watch it in case it gets removed! Sorry for all the jump cuts - sacrifices had to be made. Who wants me to react to Billie Eilish's new song next?? Instagram: ​instagram.com/tristan_paredes Twitter: @t TikTok: @t

Life is too short to hate Taylor Swift, the girl is the definition of raw talent

Lol she’s laughing cause she’s supposed to swear😂😂😂

"she even kind of laughing in that note" oh well, probably because the lyrics weren't... exactly that way

Taylor sings like she’s telling a story because that’s what she does. She writes her own stories... so it sounds real cuz it’s real to her. That’s why she stands out. It’s what made her famous.

People say she can't sing because she doesn't belt a lot and her voice isn't big and full, which is very popular. Most people think singing is just belting when it isn't. When you sing you convey emotion using texture and dynamics. But her tone is very pretty and smooth. She knows how to make you believe and feel what she is singing.

“why do people say taylor swift can’t sing. i cant understand that.” girl pls it’s the hate train of people who’ve never heard any song by her other than we are never getting back together or look what you made me do or other fandoms who think their idol is better.

Petition for Tristan to tell us his basement story.

React Cornelia Street live from paris her vocals are really good less breath, just perfect

Totally agree with Tristan on two main things he said in this video: 1. The best way to listen to Taylor Swift is her alone with a guitar. (I felt in love with her singing when I saw some videos here recorded in that way in the grammy museum. *chef kiss*) 2. The people who say she can't sing don't know what they're talking about,

Her guitar playing is underrated

The reason I like folklore so much is because it feels like Taylor is just singing to us in her living room. I legit cry listening to the full album for the first time

this reminds me of a teacher I had, that said: "female artists can never do a performance without showing their bodies, otherwise, no one would watch it". Now I just want to rub this video all over his face lmao

Taylor + guitar = the end of me

"This song just feels like nostalgia." That's this entire album for me. It's amazing. There's these stories I've never heard about people I don't know, and somehow the whole thing feels nostalgic.

hello the fact that you haven't reacted to Cornelia Street Live From Paris is a crime

Taylor's voice is exceptionally good at what it's supposed to be good at; emotional honesty, and an earnest down-to-earth warmth. Her voice kind of reminds me of IU's; both artists are very good at conveying the best of their emotional depth and using their vocal ability to show off their absolute lyrical/musical prowess. Perhaps to those who value belting and overtly powerful voices, their voices won't seem brilliant-but they contain a lightness that a lot of people can find peace, relatability and consolation in.

I will say this, technically speaking, she is not the strongest BUT she is improving AND she is overall one of the most versatile and interesting artists of our time. Not everyone needs to have the widest range to make the widest impact. Taylor deserves the credit she gets. The lady is phenomenal at her job. I'm not a massive fan of her music, but I admire the heck out of her as a businesswoman.

Taylor is literally an ICON🤩❤️. I grew up with her songs and she has a special place in my heart🤗❤️.

Taylor Swift is doing amazing vocally lately , and her song writing skills is at its finest , lyrics to these songs of the new album are just top tier

I think the things she's doing "sing-talking" are very country. EDIT: and you just said that, lol

Taylor is a songwriter, I don't need her to belt and sing loud just to impress me. What makes me fall in love with her is her ability to connect with her audience using her powerful and well-written lyrics. This ability of Taylor Swift sets her apart from other pop girls who belt. She produces her own hits, that's a raw talent. 🙌

Any T Swizzle fans agree that Tristan should discuss her ‘live from Paris’ version of Cornelia Street?

I love Taylor’s little smirk when she sings “to go straight to hell” because she so clearly knows that all her fans want her to sing “to go fuck myself.” the whole thing feels like an inside joke lmao I love her

taylor has SO much versatility, she’s done like every genera

Folklore is a masterpiece... people need to realize this album is going to live for generations, because it's that good! Taylor swift is the "Michael Jackson" of our times and yet some people are still not ready to have this conversation.

people say she can't sing because she's one of the most successful women of the decade, they obviously can't say she can't write so they say she can't sing. they're just jealous of the powerful woman that she is :)

I love you explaining that she’s not trying to show off her singing - she’s trying to show off her INCREDIBLE story telling. She wants you to focus on her lyricism and telling the story of James and Betty. So smart, so talented, so inviting.

I think the reason why people say she can't sing is because of this. Most music enthusiasts have a singer as their favorite because of the strong vocals and the ability to hit high notes effortlessly. There's nothing wrong with that. I gotta admit, Taylor doesn't have the strongest vocals. So, when people see someone like Taylor overshadowing other artists in the music industry who are more superior in terms of vocals, people feel that she's just way too overrated. So, it kinda sucks but mainly they're just in denial or showing their bias by being petty. But if you're one of those skeptics, I just wanna say, Taylor knows what her weaknesses are. But she worked on them over the years and now she's at the top of the game in every aspect. The results are there for all to see. Besides, her songwriting ability is far more superior than most artists out there. She puts her heart and soul in everything she does. No half-hearted attempts. Song lyrics, MVs, live performances, her efforts to make each album sound different, even the way she interacts with her fans etc, all of these combined with her conviction to improve, make her one of the greatest artists of all time, if not the best. Go Taylor! 😇😇 Edit: Playing it safe and sticking to what you're naturally good at should never be an option if you wanna make it big. Pushing yourself to outdo your own self is one of the biggest achievements you can have on top of your other accomplishments. Otherwise you've set yourself up for failure and soon enough you will be forgotten. For us, MUSIC IS A PART OF OUR LIVES. But for artists like Taylor, MUSIC IS THEIR LIFE. Let's give credits where credit is due. Period.

not sure why i can’t get into her, maybe just her style/genre. but i’ve always admired her vocal ability. ppl get confused with not liking someone’s music and believing they can’t sing. which are weird to get mixed up with as they’re totally different

Him talking about the basement is sending me 😭😂

Every Tristan's Taylor Swift video: "I don't know why people say Taylor Swift can't sing?!"

She’s adding a laugh to the line “tel me to go straight to hell” because she knows we want her to sing the real lyric which is “would you tell me to go fuck myself” ahahah Tristans innocence I love

Ima just say, about the open vowels etc. just listen to Speak Now specifically songs like Haunted, she goes for a lot of open vowels with high volume there, it is a pop punk kind of song

Tristan: I'm almost done you guys // Me: please talk about Taylor Swift forever I would listen

folklore album: * exists * Tristan: it’s *folksy*

Taylor has come a longgggg way in her vocal performances. Especially considering she began at 16, some of those early vocals were rough lol.

unpopular opinion: *Taylor Swift is underrated*

How can anyone in this would not love taylor swift, she's the best artist in the world and such a kind persom

The way she not only creates a story in this song but interweaves her songs and the little tonal and mood shifts, the language, the way they all pick up on each other... perfection

Lol I missed the livestream, glad this was posted

In this song, and on this album, her voice is an instrument. Scaled back, part of the composition. Plus her voice always had SUCH personality

React to Billie Eilish’s new song!!!!!

I get Tim Mcgraw / I'm only me when I'm with you vibes at the 'she said James get in'

I think the people who say Taylor can't sing have never listened to her performing 'All Too Well'. In my opinion, that song is her masterpiece. (Tristan, it would make me soo happy if you reacted to her singing 'All Too Well' at the Grammys)

can you believe one of my friends had the nerve to say that this performance didn’t deserve the attention it got?

I totally get what you’re saying. Also, I have never been a huge Taylor Swift fan, but this album is amazing! I love the style, I love the lyrics, I love the way she’s singing it’s just so good! Oh and I felt what you were talking about, in the basement, on a deep level LOL except instead of mushrooms it was heroin. I’m in recovery now though so I can laugh about it lol. I actually did some of my best song writing during those days. This was a great video 🖤💕

I'll comment cause its all engagement. So ill be be high on cheese. Thank u

I’m a lifelong Taylor Swift fan and I’m so happy you didn’t say “I’m so happy she is back to her old stuff” that comment makes me so angry because this album totally stands on its own. She is amazing and I love Folklore! Your video is so informative and nice!

the live performance of betty gives me the biggest fucking serotonin boost

I think she’s laughing on “straight to hell” because she knows what she wants to say 😂 I love grown ass woman Taylor ❤️ it’s been amazing to watch her journey from the start

People say she can’t sing because she dosent throw out as many crazy notes as like Demi or Ariana

More Taylor contents, please! Some vocals coach refuses to react to her because they think that she can't sing'', wich is so false

You should totally do Taylor’s “all too well” from the reputation tour film on Netflix... it’s amaaaaaazing

I hate people that compare Taylor to Ariana and Demi, two of the greatest vocalists of our generation. Taylor isn't a vocalist, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't sing well because SHE does, anyone saying otherwise is simply a hater.

Can you react to therefore I am by Billie Eilish 🙈🥺✨

Whether or not she’s everyone’s cup of tea vocally...Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the most proficient songwriters of the last 15 years. Her lyrics never fail to paint a picture & draw you in. So cinematic.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how good she is at playing the guitar and the piano as well. It's pretty impressive.

I’m not even a huge Taylor swift fan but I’ve been listening to this album nonstop since it came out. Betty is definitely one of my favorites

He just compared taylor to a college singer in a sweaty basement with tripping/passed out people laying around 😂😂 I love her and I’m here for it.

I think some people need to realize that singing isn’t just about belting high notes...

that basement story even if i didnt know why tristan was laughing i laughed so hard omgg 😂😂

I've always been able to listen to hours of Taylor Swift at a time because it almost feels like she's having a conversation with me. I love that. Other singers are SO amazing but I can't listen for more than a few songs

Your spot on with your analysis. She worked with new producers on this album who are both hugely talented musicians not from the pop or country world. Aaron Dressner from the National and Bon Iver. This album definitely sounds like they had her tweak some things towards their style but it still captures Taylor as well.

She wrote She sang She perform She playing guitar alone till the end Only she can do that.

This album has all the vibes of the indie open mics where I spent my teens/20s and it's everything. I can't wait to the re-recordings, especially if it's in this style, which she has so clearly mastered now. (I can't help but wonder if part of the folklore collab was to find producers etc for her re-recordings. If so, I am here for it)

Could you react to Louis Tomlinson? A lot of people say he can’t sing but personally I love his voice hahah

Dang you’re so well articulated about your opinions on things that make it very easy to understand what you’re saying. I completely agree with everything you said in this vid ☺️

Hey Tristan I know you already reacted to why don’t we but they’ve changed and grown a lot and I would love it if you could react to them again! They’re song Fallin’ is pretty recent, they’ve performed it a bunch even on Ellen. Also, they did a really cool cover of a song on their channel

Thank you! Yes! She can sing and does so beautifully. She doesn’t need to do vocal gymnastics to create a beautiful story.

I feel like this album Taylor sings a lot of the more harsh "e" sound. Like Tristan said Taylor masks it with more breathy sounds. I noticed because when I sing along i sound like a dying squirrel

Her voice is so charming 😊♥️

Her vowel changes really started to happen when she went to pop music. Id say her vocals really changed from Speak Now into Red, then again from 1989 to reputation. But I think after being at reptour, folklore sounds pretty spot on from her live voice.

this whole album feels nostalgic, im so for it! i've been listening to her for SO long, i just realized (thx to u tristan) that my voice has def been influenced by her style

Can you react to Why don’t We fallin’ or Cover of Aly and Aj’s potential breakup song?

Yes! How she uses her voice is so charming :3

can you please react to why don’t we’s cover of “potential breakup song” please? it would make my year. i’m sure you will love it and they do so much special with their voices and i think it would be a very educational video!! and very fun to watch 🤍 love you so much!!

I love the way she project her feelings singing. Just a few famous singers can do it.

It's my favorite album from Taylor and I think the one I have listened to the most.

i was never super into taylor but i think she’s so talented

She's just not a very flashy singer, for some reason people think that makes her bad.

People don’t say she can’t sing only haters say that she’s amazing with such a beautiful voice ❤️❤️

*REACT TO CORNELIA STREET ACOUSTIC LIVE FROM PARIS*

ahhh i love listening to your explanation and analyzing of the way they’re singing sm

she can sing, she can hit the notes. she's just a great storyteller so she sings like she's telling the story - constant high notes can distract from the message

7:46 the quick strumming and lower singing also gives me big fat enchanted vibes!!!!

"taylor swift's voice reminds me of sweaty basements"

that "straight to hell" killed me

it's really weird people keep on saying that she can't sing. when she has admitted that she's not known for her vocals in the industry but the storytelling and lyrics... and tbh, i would prefer Taylor over anybody anyday at any point of time. PERIOD

She’s perfection❤️❤️

Tristan please react to why don't we - fallin and their cover of potential brake up song🥺

This album reminds me so much of her earlier albums, and it gives me so much nostalgia

Can we get Tristan to react to the Potential Breakup Song cover done by WDW and he still hasnt reacted to Fallin either. tearzzz

This song is one of my favorites of this album 🥺🥰

I agree with you. She did this as a passion project and I'm digging it. I enjoyed this reaction. I too don't know why they say she can't song. She has earnt her place in many genres.

Thank you for this! I could have listened to you talk about Taylor's music all day. ;)

7:05 Shes laughing, because everybody is expecting her to sing the F* word, but she wont :DD Listen to the original and it will be clear

Please try and try again upload the Taylor Swift's folklore album reaction

WHY DONT WE JUST DID A GENIUS INTERVIEW PLEASE REACT TO THEM OR THEIR SONG
