MY SHOW IS ON

Sara Duarte🇧🇷

I think the Rock represents a partner who doesn't react, who seems not to exist, who is just there, who gives nothing in return. The cactus represents a sour, toxic relationship that hurts whenever the partner tries to get close.

Love this so much! So sorry about yesterday! I’m so embarrassed.😞

Laurel Meng

They actually hadn’t done the music video by the time they were on the Graham Norton show! Taylor said on her Instagram that Domhnall’s offhand comment about hoping to get into a music video inspired her. A week later she had emailed him a script and then she got everyone else involved!!

Tessa Hack

She posted on instagram that the idea for the video came to her on that graham Norton show when he said he wanted to be in a music video and she was able to get everyone from that appearance to be in the music video. There are also eras tour dancers and singers in it.

Liam Mcfarlane

Trying to watch a Taylor music video but I keep getting distracted by Danny’s arms, got a license for those guns sir? 👀😂 Also, Taylor posted on her Instagram that she got the idea for the video when Domhnall made the joke and then invited the rest of the people who were on the show to join the fun

Taylor

A lot of the other extras in the video are her backup dancers from the Eras Tour. She had them in the Fate of Ophelia music video too

Asta

Austin is in there! In the background of the party with the cactus and mistletoe.

Mayra

Garbage is still Garbage… omg i love her she doesn’t gaf the cactus and rock getting married is perfect 😂

Ana 🏹

Austin does appear, he’s is the background of the mistletoe scene

Domhall sprays the opalite on the cactus while Taylor sprays it on herself. The ad in the beginning says it turns “crappiness into happiness” so she thought *she* was the problem 🥺 it was easier for the man to see the issue bc the cactus was hurting him every second, but for the woman how could something that does nothing be the problem, so she chose to fix herself rather than the rock. Maybe also tying into Anti Hero and Taylor for real feeling like she is the problem.

I need a Nick Jonas Gut punch music video reaction please he just dropped the video today

Aastha Sharma

There is so many little metaphors and symbolisms tying to previous albums like Taylor tying the red string with the rock aka invisble string, the rock toy box saying my best friend and children's swings-> TTPD, saving a seat for the rock -> Lover. Every shot has so many layers to it. closing herself off to new human connections at the bar because she has a “rock” to take care of, even though it can’t be bothered with receiving her care, let alone reciprocating it. a female artist performing with her guitar, keeping her company through it all. But instantly being friends with the photographer when she is finally with the right person.

they actually didnt trick us ! when they were on the graham norton show is when taylor got the idea for the video!

Laurasr618

there is also a bunch of showgirl lyrics in the background!

Isabella Peterson

Laughed so hard during this video. And then the look on her face on graham norton, you can just see the moment when she got the idea. Her mind 🤯😅

Amanda Thompson

So cool at the end to see her IRL creating the ideas in her magical mind the instant he mentions being in one of her videos 🤯

Michelle A

I’ll write more later when I have more time, but for now: 1. Her spraying herself. 😭😭😭😭 2. They filmed this in December so she only got the idea while on the Graham Norton Show. I love how she had them ALL in it. 3. Her Eras dancers are in it, just like in the Ophelia video!!! When you learn about them, you’ll recognize them right away. 4. I love that you realized it was an 80’s aesthetic! I’ve seen so many people say 90’s and I’m like no that’s 80’s lol.

Jacqueline Goon

What a creative way to bring the song to life! Besides the final reveal that was so fun to see, I spotted three dancers from the Eras Tour. BTW, I still have my pet rock! 🙃

Caralea Laming

I don’t think they tricked us, I think when they talked about being in a music video I think that look she got was when she got an idea

Paige

Ok, I just noticed something- everyone else is spraying the objects, “the trash,” and turning them into “paradise” and happiness. However, Taylor doesn’t spray her object, she sprays herself. This could mean she views herself as the problem in the relationship. Even though it’s clear in the video, she is giving everything in the relationship while the rock literally gives nothing. The reason for needing the Nope-olite spray is because those who tried to change their partner- the trash object- didn’t get their happiness. Because you can’t change someone else. Taylor’s relationship works because she changed herself, while trash remains trash.

Abbie 🩵

You not noticing Lewis Capaldi both times and goin “what am I missing?” Was cracking me up 🤣 great reaction!!

Bryson

This is easily one of the best music videos she's EVER done. The 90s indie film aesthetic suits her so well! Also, Danny, at this point why do you even have that chair? I don't think you could stop yourself from getting up to dance the entire time if you tried! 💕🤣

Caroline

lol believe it or not austin is in this hahah

Alicia

The 2 main characters being told by outsiders to “please leave” their toxic partners. Her mind is incredible.

Sarah Savala

oh the 90s... I felt 5 years old again watching the MV for the first time xD (1990 baby)

Holly (Taylor Smith)

So this might be reaching but I wonder if the yellow wallpaper in her living room is a reference to "The Yellow Wallpaper". It's a short story where the woman was having postpartum mental health issues and being gaslit by her husband who just calls her hysterical and doesn't care at all and he locks her in her room she slowly goes insane from him holding her captive instead of getting her help. It overall was commenting on how our society treats women's mental health but also specifically about psychological abuse in relationships.

Carlos

Look at Danny wearing his blue shirt for the Opalite video.

Naomi

I love Brunette Taylor 😍😍😍

ray

brunette taylor saves lives

Carolyn Beland

This was filmed w couple months at. I really think she had the idea right in that very moment. You can almost literally see a lightbulb go off above her head.

Dylan

Danny - you can’t keep hitting me with those arms. You’re too hot. Also - loved how into the mv you got!! It’s so fun! And it was filmed after they were on the Graham Norton show together! So cute

Larissa🌸🪩

50% watching Tay, 50% watching Danny. Imma need to watch this multiple times 🤣🤣🤣 Also did anyone else notice the rock (symbolizing Joe) has lyrics from "Mad Woman" on it? "FuckU4Ever" and the cactus (symbolizing Kayla I'm guessing) is giving the double fingers lol. Her brain makes mine ache, shes too clever 🥰🤭

Stacey

Read Taylor's IG post. She got the idea while on the show for this video. Also, you did miss Austin Swift in the Christmas party scene.

broccolit0

Always right on time Danny!! <3

Talia Adams

Austin was in the background of the Christmas Party scene! It's also all the Eras Tour dancers/singers again but I know you haven't got to the Eras Tour yet

Ashley McHugh

Didn't even notice or understand stapler until the 2nd time tooooo funny lol

Dorothy Reames

Thanks Danny! As usual…great reaction! Awesome music video!🌸💕🩷💍🏈🧨🔥🧡

Jessica Rae

My favorite Easter egg: Taylor’s bed frame in the video is the same bed frame that the little girl in the poltergeist had. It’s a clever way to reference the “I thought my house was haunted, I used to live with ghosts” line. Also, they weren’t keeping the secret on the show, as she got the idea in that very moment!

Deebo

It’s called a COOTIE CATCHER!!

Keely Lambert

I would love a few days in her brain! She is an actual genius! Everything she touches turns to gold! I live for your reactions! Xx

Caroline

ive seen so many people hating on this video! i love it and always appreciate you in this fandom🫶🏻. its scary out here we need you lol

I read a post that said all the Taylor’s Versions are in the paper thingy that she’s controlling with her hands and doing it to the rock scene: - the four Taylor’s versions she released she is wearing; the two she hasn’t are elsewhere in the room - reputation is represented by the pens making a VI for her 6th album. I also think this is a hint we will get three of the 15 original tracks (remember “Full transparency: I haven’t even re-recorded a quarter of it”; a quarter of 15 is 3.75, so less than a quarter would be 3) and then vault tracks - I think Debut is on the shelf because it is done “I’ve already completely re-recorded my entire debut album”) - I don’t know if there is a clue to the order here—is Debut farther away because it will come later? Is the rep egg with pens and on blank paper because she’s still working on it? I think debut for her 20th is perfect, idk on timing beyond that

Danika

No!! She posted that she actually got the idea DURING the Graham Norton show right then and there! SO FUN! 😍😍

Danika

Also her spraying the opalite on herself because she thought SHE was the problem and needs fixed 😭🥹
