jeeeeeeez juke, i was so looking forward to this one. speak now is a fan fav for so many different reasons, the speak now and red era were taylor growing up and fans love how relatable the turmoils of that period of time in your life are. i CANNOT wait for your red tv reaction, with the all too well 10 min version short film etc. the red TV era in 2022 was when i personally became a swiftie and it was simply such a wonderful wonderful era. you need to check out all the live performances etc. love your reactions sm juke, keep up the amazing hard work 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤🩷🩶🤎💙🤍

Alyssa

Yes yes yes yes yes

Cooler Fan

Yay, but please react to the OG Versions!

Speak Now the song was reportedly written when Taylor went as Hayley Williams plus one to Hayley’s ex Josh’s wedding. It was supposed to be like a funny thing between the two of them with him getting married!

Sara Duarte🇧🇷

"Innocent" is actually about the incident with Kanye at the VMAs. She says: "It's alright, just wait and see Your string of lights are still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent It's okay, life is a tough crowd 32 and still growing up now Who you are is not what you did You're still an innocent." Well... sometimes I wish she were less nice to everyone all the time. Years later, he stabbed her in the back again...

Sara Duarte🇧🇷

"Long Live" is for her band and the Swifties. I think it was written below the explanation of the lyric change in the document 🤣 I saw it when you mirrored the screen. But that's okay!! She'll probably explain it on the Speak Now World Tour, and it'll be just as special.

Baillie Williams

I hope you do the speak now tour! Love love love this album!!

Sara Duarte🇧🇷

Hey! Just a tip, I don't know how things are scheduled, but I think the ideal would be to watch the "I can see you" MV AFTER seeing the Speak Now World Tour. I think the video would make MUCH MORE SENSE (besides, since it's a song "from the vault" the video is from 2023, so I think it would also make sense chronologically too)

Jennrw13

So excited for Speak Now! I hope her Dear John performance from the Speak Now tour is on your list - it's my fav performance of that tour. The entire tour is great and worth taking the time to watch. :)

Laurasr618

OK, this is my first comment before I watch anything. I’m just doing it now before I forget…. You told me to remind you to watch the I can see you music video after you watch the tour and all the other music videos because there are some major references since it’s a Taylor’s version vault song.

Jenny

Thought we'd get the og speak now but this is still exciting

Liam Mcfarlane

The way she ends Last Kiss with "Just like our last..." because you don't get another one, the previous kiss was the last kiss but you didn't realise so now you're left waiting for a kiss that's never coming. In this essay I will....

Lauren

The way I'm screaming "Danny, look at your cheat sheet!!!" during long live 😂😂

Isabella Peterson

MY SOUL IS COMPLETE! Why? Yes because even if you forgot to save some songs the first song you remembered to save was MY SONG. Its my favorite since 2010 and that is Haunted. Something in me just healed when that was the first one that you saved haha. Thank you for this Juke. Don’t take on too much too soon if you feel all over the place but i honestly couldn’t tell from the reaction. You really took it all in. (Even if you forgot to read up on Long Live 😂) but that okay💜 And all other questions i see have already been answered. I do want to say that I agree on Electric Touch. Something was missing from the production when i first heard it but its grown on me a lot over the last 2 years actually. You’ll also get a surprise fall out boy and taylor performance in the next era 😉 This reaction brought so much joy to me today and i finished it one minute before midnight here so timing👌🏻 I just wanted to say too, while I don’t like john mayer as a person (no he’s never taken accountability, he’s actually the opposite of that) he is a fantastic musician. My opinion on people I don’t support is that if you have songs they’ve put out that means something to you, keep listening to that. But I don’t go out of my way to support new things. But old songs that matter to you, that you shouldn’t have to stop listening to. AND DANCING JUKE WAS UP IN THIS, YAY!

Liam Mcfarlane

Long Live came off the back of the Fearless Tour and winning AOTY at the Grammys so it's a love letter to the fans, to her band and tour crew, and to her collaborators on Fearless. Her debut album performed well but things really blew up for her when she released Love Story and You Belong With Me so she was riding a high at that point in time. "When they gave us our trophies and we held them up for our town" - Winning the Grammy and saying she was bringing it home to Nashville "Cynics were outraged, screaming 'This is absurd!' Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world" - Critics felt she wasn't worthy, she was too young, that her cowriters did all the work, that her producers were inexperienced, that it was music for teenage girls and not rEaL aRt "The crowds in stands went wild" "Tell them how the crowds went wild" - The rush of being on tour and seeing the response to the album

Isabella Peterson

Also you are too kind to do giveaways like this 🫶🏻

Jerico Rivera

Btw in Better Than Revenge, she changed a specific line in Taylor's Version because she thought it was very misogynistic back then that she regretted it now. She was petty but we still love it. 🤣 It's the line "He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches" which was "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress". 🤣

Diego Acevedo

Can’t believe you finally got to Speak Now one of my faves, I think is so impressive how she did this self-written masterpiece at just 19 💜💜💜

Sonny S.

Dudeeee, the amount of times you paused right BEFORE something epic was going to go down in the song, lmaooo. But it’s fine because you vibed with it the way I thought you would… Anyway, love Speak Now! So glad you’re in this era because it means you’re almost to my favorite album of hers, 1989 TV, so I’ll be biding my time until it’s officially time to watch that album reaction! Cheers!

Jerico Rivera

Ngl I was constantly shaking my head when you were confused about Long Live. It's for the fans!!! That's why it gets me so emotional everytime I listen to it, especially when she said "when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name" 🥺🥺🥺

Nicole Franklin

Thank you for a great video Juke!! I have been loving your deep dives since your ttpd reaction ~ speak now is a special album to me as it was the first taylor album I listed to fully as a teenager. Castles Crumbling I kinda see as the other side of Long Live, with similar imagery but just like the fall from grace in light of media scrutiny. You must work so hard on these authentic reactions & it’s lovely that you’ve created such a kind community to discover music :)

Tori

Been waiting for this one! Speak Now is one of my favorite albums so many songs get me so emotional and I just loved your reactions as always 💜

Jessica Martin

I KNEW IT. I knew you would truly get and appreciate Last Kiss. Dear John is amazing and I will never not give its flowers but Last Kiss is the heartbreak Anthem and you either feel it in your soul or you don’t. The Original version is so heartbreaking I hope you listen to it and react to the raw emotions that come from that vocal. Thanks! 🫶🏻

Brandon

Everybody be quiet! My favorite show is on! 💜

Amanda Thompson

“You gave me roses and I left them there to die” TAYLOOOOOOOR 😂😂 I laughed so hard at that and your face when better than revenge started. Lmao This is amazing!! Coming back tomorrow after work to watch the rest!!

Jacqueline Goon

Missed hearing one of my favs, I Can See You, from Speak Now TV. Last Kiss and Back to December are so beautiful and touch my heart in remembrance of my deceased husband. Long Live is a memorable tribute to Taylor, her band, the Starlights, and appreciation for her fans and their love and support through the rough times and celebrations over the years. The album cover is an amazing photo of Taylor. Thank you for the great reactions…goosies, rolling chair, sniffles, and all! 🌹 PS Please add the Red album and The Eras Tour Movie to your deep dive experience.

Baillie Williams

You need to listen to castles crumbling from eras tour with Hayley! It's soooo good!!

Tyler ✨

Juke, I really just gotta say how incredible of a human you are and how much respect I have for you. Your authenticity and your empathy and compassion for others shines through you. I remember when you first reacted to Taylor Swift and people were literally commenting the nastiest 💩, just because you were willing to even entertain listening to her music. But you didn’t let that sway you. Instead, you embraced her. I think that says a lot about you and a lot about your character. You lead by example and it’s so refreshing. P.S. I think this giveaway is the nicest thing I’ve ever seen a reactor do

Guilherme Fermino

geez, no other man can make me stay up till 1am with a 3 hours long video which I saw entirely and hoping for more lol

Chloe H

Last kiss has been my favorite Taylor song since it came out in 2010 and that still hasn’t changed 💜 super underrated and can’t wait to see your reaction to it!

mddbl

I feel like castle crumbling is what she felt at the 2009 VMAs when she thought everyone was booing her.

Kelsey

I cry everytime i hear long live especially since the eras tour 🥲 but i get why it would be confusing to pick that up from the first listen 😂 i also think that innocence is about Kanye. He was 32 when the incident occurred, this album came out after that happened, and she refrences September, "you'll have new September's", which is the month that award happened. She also references this in back to December about Taylor lautner "and how you held me in your arms that September night, the first time you ever saw me cry" because they were dating and he was on stage during the award! loved your reaction!!💜

broccolit0

When you listened to Speak Now and realized it was about pick-me Taylor fantasizing about stealing men I burst out laughing!! I LOVED this album when it came out in 2010 and I was an emotionally unstable teenager who was also thinking these things!

Btc21

Please watch her cover of "Drops of Jupiter" by Train during the Speak Now Tour. It was her best vocals in a cover.

Nicole Coyne

Enchanted was written about the lead singer of Owl City. He actually made a response song, it's very cringe but could be a funny to listen to.

Carolyn Beland

I'm excited for you to watch some of her speak now your performances

Carolyn Beland

It intentionally sounds like a john mayor song because she's petty and we love her for it

Kelsey Johnson

"Off the jump kinda sounds like a John Mayer song"....unfortunately I think that was the point 😬

Holly (Taylor Smith)

She purposely made it sound like a John Mayer song. I really love his music so it was hard to find out he objectifies and manipulates young women (other women have said that too like Jessica Simpson) but he has never taken accountability so it sucks. I also just love how we really grew up with her. We all used to have some sort of internalized misogyny where we felt like we were in competition w other women (better than revenge) then grew into shedding that and having empathy for other women (August). Her "enlightened state" as she calls it. Her discography really documents a woman's life under patriarchy, which is why we all relate. Thank you for this!! I love going back, it's so nostalgic for me 🫶🏻

Leonie Thieme

i’m so excited for you to listen to all the red stuff. the “antagonist” 🤣 of red is jake gyllenhaal. they dated briefly and tay was heartbroken. if you thought last kiss in the OG version is as sad of a breakup song as can be, just wait for all too well 10 min version. 🥲🥲 the tragic thing about it is, that after her horrendous experience with john mayer, she kind of ended up making a similar mistake in dating a much older guy with gyllenhaal, who was 9 years older than her. of course, you can’t compare a woman in her early twenties dating a 29 year old with a literal teenager being manipulated and mistreated by a 32 year old man. but it still is very hard to listen to her sing about how the age factor once again caused her much pain. just the hard things you have to work through as you grow up i guess ❤️‍🩹🥹

Holly (Taylor Smith)

You should react to the haunted/exile surprise song again lol

Alyssa Nicole

Integrity is SOOO important!!! I'm so glad you said that; I have so much respect for you! 🫶

Jeremiah Geans

Dude you are gonna enjoy the speak now deep dive

Jeremiah Geans

And to answer your question there’s not a dear John music video but you definitely gotta check out the live performance from the speak now world tour

Alyssa Nicole

Dude, everything you are saying in Dear John, especially about knowing your worth, is hitting me hard today! 24 and finally discovering my strength!

Alyssa Nicole

Sorry for all of the comments (it's a long video and I have a lot of thoughts lol) but your hair in this video is incredible! This is your look for sure!

Michelle A

This was truly epic, Danny! I love this album because there are so many good songs on it. I am dying with joy thinking of all the music videos/live performances from this era we have to look forward you reacting to. And the great news is that your remaining eras - Red, 1989, Reputation, & Lover - are all so damn good that you’re just going to keep falling in love with her over and over again. I’m an elementary school teacher and Long Live is always my class’s end-of-the-year song “Long Live all the magic we made.” 🫶🏻

Aloha Record Sargent

It's not a music video, but I think you should watch the lyric video of "Timeless" when you do the music video portion! Because it provides deeper meaning to the song and is just incredibly special and also reflects some of your comments on the song!

April Rosario

Long Live is about the swifties and her band :)

abi houston

Never grow up is such a special song to me as a single mum of two little boys. Sometimes the chaos of life just sweeps everything up and then I look back and realise how fast every little moment is going. Truly a case of don’t you ever grow up. I can’t listen without sobbing my heart out 😂 Amazing reaction as always Danny, and the way you talk about your niece is so heartwarming. If my boys grow up to have half of the emotional maturity that you possess then I will I feel so proud of the job I have done ❤️

Chloe H

you should have a cheat sheet of the meanings of the songs before you listen to them (I would be happy to make one for you) it broke my heart when you didn't realize that Long Live was about us (her fans)

thatciaraoverthere

The OG Last Kiss hurts so much because you have to listen to all of her shaky breathing 😭

Julsss

This album is one that’s close to my heart because it’s the one that turned me into a mega Swiftie. The fact that it’s a self-written album proves how great of a songwriter she is. I love you, Juke, for reacting to this album! Just hoping to be picked for the giveaways. 💜💜💜

Carolyn Beland

Emma falls in love is actually Emma Stone

Bruce Brown

2:10:06 ... ALL RISE! It's time for our anthem! **EDIT** Oh crap, he didn't get it!

Evgenia

I had to watch it in two parts, finally done. Now went through all comments and already see things explained and commented on. So I will just thank you again for giving me two very enjoyable evenings 🤍 you are such a ray of light, your commentary is so thoughtful and articulated. Looking forward to all other parts of this era, as well as shoutout to Isabella for compiling it - doing the lord’s work here🤍

Dylan

Speak now has always been my least favorite TS album - just has never felt cohesive to me in the way all the other albums do. But hearing your takes on the songs and the deep dive into the prologue really gave me a new appreciation for what SN is and what it means to Taylor. Thank you for this! I love it! Also juke in a white tee 🔥🔥🔥

Laurel Meng

Watched this in multiple parts and I loved your reaction! I often overlook Speak Now but it’s really one of my favorites. Always love how much you appreciate Taylor’s integrity. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! Super cool that you’re giving back to your supporters in this way.

Rowan Ali

Speak now is a masterpiece💜 she wrote the entire album by herself and she covered many topics that explore different kinds of pain and vulnerability.. it’s so fun and fierce

hydesbride (Ashley)

Your reactions are my favorite thing! Thank you for being such a great human and understanding the struggles women go through. You're awesome! And congrats on your subs! So deserved! I was super excited for you to hear Never Grow Up and Timeless, and you didn't disappoint. Timeless is special cause she alludes to her grandparents with the "crowded street in 1944, and you were off to fight in the war", because as we know from the song Epiphany, her grandpa fought in WWII. And then the story from the 1500s she talks about later always made me think Romeo & Juliet, which ties into Love Story. So beautiful how she connects things! 💜

False Dog

Danny, in "Speak Now" (the song) I think you missed the lyric where she says she was "lost in a daydream"

Larissa🌸🪩

This was a great reaction Danny, be gentle on yourself🫶🏻 Haunted & Enchanted were always my favs from this album! But then, I Can See You happened lol😍 Haunted is so intense and powerful to listen to, especially when you've been actually the one "left" in a relationship. Enchanted is just well.. Enchanting✨️ I Can See You is sooo pleasant to listen to and puts me in a stellar mood when I need to be pumped up for something lol 😂

monika

*Finally* had the time to watch this in one sitting! Thank you so so much for this reaction Danny, it was great as always! 💜 Speak Now is one of my favorite Taylor albums and I am so glad we entered this era with you 🥳 I can see other people already explained some things and answered some of your questions in the comments. About Enchanted: it was so so cute to me that you kept saying that her voice sounds enchanting in your first reactions, and all I kept thinking was "awww, he is enchanted to meet Taylor and I can't wait for him to hear the song!" 🥹 Also, as others have pointed out, Long Live kinda became the swiftie anthem and every time I hear it it brings back so many memories as it also was one of my surprise songs at the Eras tour, after she cut it from the setlist! 🥹 Can't wait for you to go through the music videos to hear her younger voice and *SO* excited for you to watch the Speak Now tour, her vocal performance got so much better in this era! Thank you again Danny, excited to continue this journey with you! 🫶🏻

RepTVgirly_showgirl

Danny Dance Breaks never fail to make me smile 😊 Thank you so much for choosing to share your joy and time with us 🫶🏻

RepTVgirly_showgirl

1:08:25 Is that girl you remember also aging like spoiled milk? That tends to happen to people like that 😂

RepTVgirly_showgirl

Whomever becomes your partner in life will be hitting the lottery when it comes to emotionally mature men. I managed to snag me one but I know how rare y'all are!!!

RepTVgirly_showgirl

My thoughts on the Better Than Revenge talk. If someone cheats, but the person they cheat with had no idea that they were in a relationship...then the blame solely lies on the cheater. However, if someone KNOWINGLY goes after a person in a relationship, then they can equally split the blame. Just my 2 cents 😜

RepTVgirly_showgirl

Teen Tay was extra petty 🤣 she threw shade left and right in songs and interviews during that time.

Melissakay503

I love speak now. It’s probably my favorite of all of them

Kat H

Danny, thank you for bringing me back to Speak Now! I forget how much I love this album. For context, my senior year of high school me and my best friends took our Senior trip to LA to see the Speak Now tour there. Long Live was our anthem and although I don't speak to any of those ladies anymore I hold them so closely to my heart - they were such kind souls and such a great influence on my life, and anytime I hear that song I fill with such happiness. I even got lucky enough to see her add it to the setlist in KC for the eras tour (the same night TK attended!). I know that one didn't resonate with you, but man, does that song speak to me. It's about her and her band as some others have stated, and when I listen to it I sense camaraderie and taking on the world together, feeling invincible. I also want to address your statement about dating and people getting the "ick" when someone is too available. If I can so humbly offer that if someone gets the ick by something you do so early on, that person isn't your person. While I did get the honor of meeting my husband at the young age of 20, I did make many mistakes in lust/love before that, and can tell you the main difference between him and others was that we could not get enough of being around each other, and we never had to act like anything other than who we were. Still 11 years later we don't get bored of each other :) I could feel the sadness in your voice when you spoke about dating, and hope you find your person soon!

Tina O'Toole

I love this album. Of course I say that about all her albums. 😊

Ilka van Schalkwyk

The amazing thing about Taylor is how brave she is in love. She's a hopeless romantic. She gets her heart trampled on constantly and writes about all her feelings for the whole world to know. People have used her and abused her and yet she still finds the courage every single time to fall into a relationship and give it her whole heart. Head first Fearless.

Grace Guthrie

Sparks Fly is my favorite song from this album because of a really fun memory I have with my sister from about right when the album came out. We were cleaning our basement. Sparks Fly came on and we just stopped cleaning and broke out in song, singing into our broom and mop 🎶🎵🎤🎆🎇

Toni Marie

To answer the question posed for the track Speak Now (and Better Than Revenge), we support Taylor’s rights AND wrongs 💅🏼 Last Kiss will always be one of my favorites from Taylor for so many reasons, but it has one of her absolute best, most subtle pen tricks that is a knife to the heart: You don’t even know when the last kiss of the song IS the last kiss, because she sure doesn’t end it with last kiss. It’s gutwrenching. (Also, team KCN2 so I had the privilege of watching her restart this (twice) in front of Travis, with my own eyes). I’ll never get over hearing how you talk about love, the love you witness in your life and the love you vow to find, it’s such a beautiful thing and I hope that never changes! (Also, stop being so hard on yourself, you keep saying things like ‘you’re going to do better or need to better’, but it’s clear, at least in the Swiftie-verse, you’re loved and a favorite because of your authentic reactions and commentary! I hope you’re not letting any negative feedback get in the way of your headspace! Keep doing what you’re doing, we love you!)

izzy 🪷

You saying you're becoming a misandrist is lowkey so real LMAO it's ok Juke we get you

Amber

Last kiss will always be my favorite speak now song. Specifically the OG version. Also better than revenge!!

Sarah Handberg

Speak now was my first Taylor album and will forever be my favourite Taylor album. I fear it is the closest thing we’ll ever get to a rock album from her. It’s such a great transition from country to pop for her, and it’s full of fan favourites. Last kiss has the most beautiful emotion in the original version, that you should definitely check out and listen for bc it will break your heart. I also just love better than revenge and haunted - haunted is definitely my favourite from the album.

Iliana

I love your videos so much. I love seeing new people slowly become swifties! It's like I'm reliving the albums through you. I also think a lot of people (who are newly becoming swifties) often can't figure out what "Long Live" is about because all they've heard or "known" is that everything she writes about is boys or men and love and heartbreak, so when they hear these different lyrics that are NOT about any of that, it confuses them. So yeah, Long Live is about herself, her band, and her fans. It is her most special song, to me, at least! :)

Dana Ries

My favorite thing about the song “speak now” is remembering when she cameoed on New Girl and ran away with the groom in the middle of Cici’s wedding 🤣. Always brings me back to that We support Taylor’s delusions. It’s okay. .

Dana Ries

I do not like when the videos t play via Vimeo. If I have to pause it for something, often it will have timed itself out when I come back, and I have to start from the beginning and try to find where I left off. Just now I paused to leave a comment and I have to start over again
