Jaycee

Thanks, guys!!

Kaitlyn

ALL TOO WELL 10 MIN

Jaycee

Out of the woods live 💕

Courtney Vincent

This is the oldest y’all have done… that was still sweet Taylor. Pre-reputation.

jessethecomet

I was crying laughing in the Tiktok live when y'all asked for an upbeat song and ppl chose Haunted 💀 def not upbeat lmao

erinslovely

Thank you Terry & Kaniyia!

Kalynn

I’ll have to find the link but there’s a video somewhere of her seeing the orchestra that’s going to play the song she wrote and she gets so excited 🥹

Shawn Blythe

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve pleeeease!!!

Bailee🪩💎🦍🦈

now that you’ve heard both songs, you should listen to haunted x exile mashup from the eras tour. i fell to my knees while watching it through a grainy live stream

Allie

Hiiiiiii

Kayleigh Hecht

Young Taylor hits different. In case you don’t know, Taylor wrote every song on Speak Now completely by herself, following releasing her album fearless being released and people being mean about her not writing her own songs (even tho 1) that’s common and 2) she actually did and does). So she wrote Speak Now entirely alone to prove a point. A lot of swifties will still say some of her best lyrics are on this album

jessethecomet

First Speak Now reaction!! (I think) My all time favorite Taylor album, I experienced it back in 2011 (7 years old) and it was just as magical experiencing it again last summer. Can't believe it's been a year since Speak Now came back home!!

Dia Grace

Haven't even watched yet but I'm soooooooo excited!!!!!!

Sarah Messana

The way I hit the like button before I even hit play! 😂

Jillian 🫶🏻

Nah y’all done made me think my phone froze at 8:30 😭🤣

Marina Richmond

We never getting back together 1989 world tour!

Tonya

I stopped everything for this and as usual it doesn't disappoint 💕

bre

Beautiful 🥰🥰

Adriana

I’ve never heard this! What!!? 😧

Meagan Mary

And this is why you need to watch the live version of who’s afraid of little old me - female rage

Audrey Jean

I can't wait for you guys to get to Dear John.

Sonny S.

Still pulling for a Wildest Dreams TV reaction… 🫶🏼

Rachel Griffin

Did I just join this Patreon entirely prompted by loving your TS reactions? Yes. Yes, I did. 😅 Have loved you on YouTube for years, though. Glad to finally join the community!

Iris Garcia

The silent pause was everything 🤣

Adriana

Please do All Too Well (10 min version) next!! 🩵🩵

Marianne

From one music nerd to another.. I could listen to y'all talk about music composition all 👏🏼 day 👏🏼.

Rochelle

To think how young she was when she wrote this. TAYLORRRRR 👏🏻👏🏻

-Swiftie4Life-

DAY THREE OF ASKING FOR YALL TO REACT TO SO HIGHSCHOOL ABOUT TRAVIS ITS UPBEAT BTW LOVE YALL

Jaden

THE LIVE VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER FROM THE ERAS TOUR. it’s like a completely different song with an entirely different tone. Pls add to your watch list🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌ily guys

Renny

Her greatest song & my surprise song

Courtney🔪🤜🏻

❤️❤️❤️ Out Of The Woods live 1989 World Tour❤️❤️❤️ also love seeing you trying her earlier things!!!

April Rutledge

Terry got the zoomies when the beat changed 🤣

Laura

I can appreciate this one because she wrote this album entirely on her own when she was 19 or 20….but it’s not for me. However…..PLEASE react to So Long London and The Black Dog. I’m BEGGING!! 🥹😊🥹😊

Krista W

My favorite! I love that yall don’t know any lore and have such raw reactions!

Corenne Anaya

I think y’all should find the CMT crossroads she did with Def Leopard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jaycee

Haunted gives me chills!!! Speak now album is top tier!

jessethecomet

Taylor ending the song with the same verse as the beginning is a common theme in almost all of her albums.

Meg

Yall haven’t heard rock taylor until you listen to We Are Never Getting Back Together from the 1989 tour

Renny

This song was originally written for the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack and once you listen to it from that perspective it makes a lot more sense!

Hannah Hansen

i love the dichotomy between knowing something is fragile and still not expecting it to break. she didn't expect the relationship to break because she was much more careful with them than he was.

Crystal Cole

Haunted I think basically means she got ghosted went from all in to nothing

Jaycee

watch her miss Americana documentary on Netflix to know more about Taylor and her music!! 💕💕

Casey Pontrelli

She’s haunted by the ghost of him, the memory of him is following her around and she can’t go back to how it was before!

Mary Spradling

Please do BLACK DOG….. I’m begging

Casey Pontrelli

Also this was like one of my first fave Taylor songs so I’m so so happy to hear you guys liked it!! It’s def a vibe and I always want more rock Taylor 🔥

Virginia

Please do You’re on Your Own Kid (the reason swifties make friendship bracelets), Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve (iconic song lyrically), and All Too Well 10 min version (one of her first poetic songs that is simply iconic)

Violet

This is SO wholesome. It brings me right back to being 16 in the car with the windows down screaming the lyrics with friends 💕

April Rutledge

She’s haunted by the memory of them. She can’t go back to what it was like before they met because she’s haunted now by their time together. When she says he will try to take away my pain she is saying she can’t move on because she’s haunted by this past relationship. No matter how she tries she can’t get past it because she’s haunted

Hailey

She came out with the original track in 2010 when she was 20 years old, and the rerecorded Taylor's version track came out in 2023 when she was 33 years old. If you guys liked Haunted, you would like The Story of Us and Better Then Revenge from this album too. Love you guys!!!

Kimberly

She’s haunted like he’s a ghost who is always there with her even though he left

Laura Marie

Out of the woods 1989 tour please 🙏🏻

Paige M.

I think you guys got it.. haunted to go back, haunted by the memory of you. I think you should do long live off this album as well as enchanted. Better than revenge is also good. May be controversial but I prefer the original better than revenge lyrics versus the Taylor’s version ones. OG swifties do you agree, or prefer the new updated line?

April Rutledge

Eyes Open is also very rock if you like the Rock Taylor vibe from the Hunger Games soundtrack

Kealy McLain

I love this song so much 😭

AnneMarie

Terry got the zoomies 😂

Heather M

You need to see this live from the Speak Now Tour!! Also if you want another Rock then the live of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together from 1989 Tour!!

AE

Bridgerton has used her music for all 3 seasons 🥰

Courtney Medlin

“Can’t go back I’m haunted” I interpret that to mean- This fragile line broke and we aren’t together. Now I can’t go back to who I was before it was us. I’m haunted by our relationship, so I can’t go back to living and loving like I did before I met you.

Bailee🪩💎🦍🦈

“can’t go back im haunted” is like she wants him back but, everything that happened in the relationship/breakup is so painful she can’t get it out of her mind, she can’t forgive or forget everything that happened and go back even though she wishes she could i also see it as like a self affirmation of like “remember how bad it was, don’t let yourself forget that and let him back in your life”

Allie

For me “can’t go back, I’m haunted” means that whatever happened changed her so deeply that she can’t go back to who she was before him. Listen to would’ve could’ve should’ve, it’ll make sense 😬

Pam Ayala

Speak Now is completely self-written, both music and lyrics, every single song. Taylor wrote most of the songs for this album during her Fearless tour when she was only 18 and 19. She was 20 years old when the album released. You should definitely watch a live performance from the Speak Now tour. It’s like a Vegas act.

Hailey

If you guys like rock taylor you should react to I knew you were trouble from the 1989 tour.

Nicole Donnelly

Thank you so much for this! It’s rare to find fellow black swifties who actually want to discuss her lyrics 🤣🥹

Melissa Cornelius

Y’all had me cracking up on this one!! I woke my daughter up laughing when Terry went running around the room! 😂🤣 LOVED IT!! 🫶🏼

Layla💓

I recommend the website ‘genius’ they break down the lyrics to the song explaining everything 💞

Jessica Martin

Omg……I just realized, y’all need to do Last Kiss. If you would’ve just kept going to the next song it would make sense at the end.

natalee:)

when yall livestream please save them to post (the uncut version!) on here!!!!

Kalynn

No such thing as thinking too hard about a Taylor lyric!! Ive always interpreted it as being haunted by the memories of this person and having those memories follow you around. Didn’t mean to quote Wildest Dreams there 😂 For real though I love all of y’all’s reaction videos, but it really warms my Swiftie heart to see her older music getting respect 💜

Tarryn Brackett

She’s haunted by the memories of their relationship.

Amanda

I love this song. If you had told me it was Paramore I would have believed it!

Meagan Richardson

I’d love to see a reaction to the entire Speak Now TV. Long Live, Last Kiss, Back to December…all of them lol

Jessica Martin

I would love for y’all to see her do “we are never getting back together” from 1989 tour. I can assure you that you have never heard her like that before.

Paige Loftus

i’m crying over the British accent part 😂😂🫶🏻

Kirsten Johnson

I think she means that her broken relationship haunts her and now she can’t go back to what she was before because she can’t stop thinking about it. 19 year old Taylor wasn’t quite at TTPD-level poetry, but she had already been through some shit even when Speak Now was being released.

Robin Peacock

I’ve never heard this song before so I’m about to go on this journey with you 🫶

Susannah

She's said before it's about someone who ghosted her. She's haunted by thoughts of him/the relationship/what happened... she's trying to move on with someone else but can't because it haunts her/she want's to go back to it but knows she shouldn't because he left her. The acoustic version is also ~hauntingly~ beautiful!! Please do death by a thousand cuts for the bridge alone!! Also some different vibes to mix in before you get to big hitters... Midnight Rain, Delicate, Mastermind, Marjorie, Wouldve/Couldve/Should've, Is it Over Now? Love you guys!!

Shelby Saldana

I love the difference in the energy of this song and her lyrics. It’s like she’s pleading and screaming as she watches him walk away. I think too it’s in present tense like Terry said. You’re watching the person you love distance themselves from you and you can’t do anything about it.

Paige Loftus

also the fact that this album was released in 2010…. like imagine writing a song like THIS at 19. NINETEEN!!!!!!! TAAAAYLORRR!! that’s what always blows my mind. and you already know 13 year old me was raging to this at the time. 😂💜

Carrie Mizrahi

Lover is an upbeat song! And I can’t watch her perform it live without crying anyway

amandalyntweets

i love that you did a “speak now” song… it’s cool to see you digging into her early stuff!!! i am eagerly awaiting… “…are you ready for it?”

Laura

I always thought of it as, Im Haunted I can't be the person I was before this. Like they made her jaded and took away that hopeless romantic she was before the relationship

Catherine

I loved Haunted!!!! Great job you two!!!!!!!!!

Angie Whitiken

Taylor takes care of her musicians-- many of them have been with her for her entire career, and when she re-recorded her Taylor's Versions of her back catalog, she invited back all of the original musicians so that they would still get the royalties

Laura

Bridgerton has a couple of Taylor Covers, if you want to listen to those songs!

Mary (onlyeverthus)

I love the Taylor's Version songs, but there's just something about the originals, especially of her older stuff like this. I think she's too far removed from these situations now to really capture the emotion she had on the original versions, especially the songs from Speak Now (this one, Last Kiss, Dear John). Like, I want y'all to listen to the original versions, but also support Taylor's Version. It's a rock and a hard place, man.

ImpossibleGalPerls

She's Haunted because she was GHOSTED. Geddit? This is my favorite Taylor song, it's for the emo kids. I'm so glad y'all liked it!

Megan 🌸

Just a fun fact --In the first song on the Speak Now album, "Sparks Fly" she sings the lyric "Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around" and then later on in the album she's "Haunted"

Tricia

Love the orchestra! I think there’s a video of her learning the cello and playing along with them for the song! Definitely early Taylor. But it has hints of what she can do with her voice and harmonies. Thanks for going back into the catalog!

Katharine

Dear John, Innocent, Electric Touch, Castles Crumbling, and Timeless from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) 😍

Tawni Creta

The performance of this on the Speak Now tour is amazing (as usual, shes almost always better live)!!! She was super young at the time (20-21??). A lot of this album is about John Mayer (you have no idea what you’re in for with that lore).

Tawni Creta

Her catalog is so massive that you will not remember the amount of times you say “this is something completely different than what I’ve heard from her before” 😅

Halie Scheidler

Please do 1989 world tour out of the woods performance!!!!

Amanda Williams

Haunted means like haunted by the relationship. Even moving on she’s still revisiting the old relationship. She refers to being haunted in several songs. Haunted is one of my all time favs. I love that you guys did this one. Is it over now next? 😂

Jen

Love the Speak Now album. I think Last Kiss and Back to December are the best ones on the album.

Alyssa Jade Carson

"You can't do that to black people" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Amy Versprille

You said she was younger - but you listened to the Taylor’s version so it is her adult voice on this version. You should also check out the speak now tour to see her do this one live.

Sydney

I knew y’all would like the chorus on this one!! Those note changes💯

Rachel

You gotta listen to better than revenge (Taylor’s version)

Lexi Calabrese

To me, it’s “I can’t go back I’m haunted”. She can’t go back to who she once was, she’s haunted by the what ifs and the relationship and the ghost of him.

Alyssa Jade Carson

I honestly want yall to start from the beginning. So you can appreciate the growth that is Taylor. A lot of us grew up with her since high school and have followed her on this journey and the growth is amazing. Starting from the beginning to get where we are now would honestly help a lot to understand the lyrics better as well.

CourtNicole

she’s nothing but a shell of who she used to be before the memories of this relationship haunted her. She can’t go back, she knows that but it also feels like she never left because she’s still haunted by it all.

Megan

Please post False God uncut! 🩷🎷🛐

CourtNicole

Another way I interpret it is that she’s in a relationship with someone and they’re fading away and becoming a ghost in that relationship so she’s haunted by who this person she loves is becoming by pulling away from her

Jacqueline Goon

Love your breakdowns to understand the lyrics and melodies. You’ve mentioned on several reactions you hear a British accent. Taylor resided in London for six years with her ex-boyfriend/fiance following the Kanye/Kim cancellation attempt and Borchetta/Braun music copyright dispute. Understandably, she also uses British expressions in some of her songs (Anti Hero “at tea time”; Alchemy “these blokes warm the benches”). I agree the Bridgerton string compositions are well worth your added listening pleasure. Still pleading for All Too Well 10-Minute Short Film, so you can also see Taylor’s numerous talents behind the movie lens. 🌸

Gissel Bueno

Now that you jumped to The speak now era, You can't skip Dear John.

Nathan

Wait did y’all do False God?!

Theresa Webb

Haunted as in the ghosts stuck and can’t leave like the relationship is stuck in her. (He won’t leave her)

Megan Christina

Speak Now is tied for my favorite album with Red, I can't wait to see you guys react to more SN and Red songs!

giana

so it goes and dancing with our hands tied next plsssss

Sydney

Add Wildest Dreams and Clean to your list!!

Sierra Mesko

you guys should listen to All too well (10 minute version)

Emaleah

Love the violin impression 🤣🤣

Allyson Lynch🦋🦋

the Speak Now is one of my favorite eras!!!! I hope you do more of it! Maybe Long Live, Enchanted, Better than revenge, timeless

K Clark

Okay so I don’t love this song; BUT, I love the chemistry you two have with each other so much that it is always fun to watch your reactions 💕 If you’re looking for some good beat switch-up’s, imgonnagetyouback has two of them and it’s amazing. And fresh out the slammer also has an awesome one. 🫶🏻

Susan Hines

Speak Now (the album) was completely self-written. She wrote it between the ages of 18-20. It’s a magical album 💜 I know you guys want to wait on All Too Well. But I really think you guys need to hear that one! It’s from her 4th album….so I mean, it’s not graduating. Folklore, Evermore and TTPD albums have the most poetic writing honestly 😉🫶🏼

T

death by a thousand cuts!!!!

Lucia Webb

This is about twilight! Her own experiences of course colored it, but this is an early example of her writing songs from the perspective of fictional characters

mimi

She means she’s haunted by that relationship… nothing will ever be as good as that cause it’s all she thinks about she’s haunted by it. Ooo also listen to right where you left me lol

mimi

And yall are so right! That’s why i hate when people say all her songs sound the same I’m like whaaaaat

Alan Guenley

All too well (10 minute version), Enchanted, Call it what you want, Death by a thousand cuts and New Romantics please!!!

Aly

Dear John followed by Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve soon? 🫶 also - you both have incredible vocals. Thank you for the videos!

Carolina

Don’t know why people hated on this song on the other chat. Yeah the lyrics are pretty straight forward but there is nothing wrong with that. Still a great song, specially for someone who used to be emo lol. It’s totally a different vibe for her and just shows her spectrum of talent and style.

Mel 🫶🏻

Love you guys! 🫶🏻 Death by a thousand cuts! Or Enchanted. Enchanted will kill you with the bridge

Nathalie Garrido

From speak now you should react to dear John and Enchanted

Nathalie Garrido

I heard this one was about numerous past relationships she had prior to when she first recorded Speak Now

Jules

Haunted by the memory of the relationship.

Mary Beth S.

Ok ok ok WHAT you mentioned False God, did I miss this one??? Or is it just not posted yet, because duuuude I’ve been wanting y’all to hear that one SO BAD!!

Bethany R

Please please watch the LIVE Dear John performance from the Speak Now tour. It is a VERY special earlier Taylor performance :-)

Starla 🫶🏻

The ironic thing about this song, is that you find yourself singing it out of the blue, even if you haven't heard it in a long time. Like you're. .. haunted.. . 🤯😉 You'll just be walking around one day.. "C'mon, c'mon don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out..." Lol

McKenzie Brown

You guys make me like certain songs even more than I originally did!!!

Caitlin Burke

Watch the live rock version of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together from the 1989 tour!

Jenna Falls

The pain haunts her to this day. So, she is refusing to go back to someone who has broken her heart.

Jadey

Please please please watch the mashup of haunted x exile! So beautiful! 😭😭🩷🩷🩷

Avery Doyle

I haven’t seen anyone mention her live version where she just goes ham on a giant cathedral bell. 😂 I might not have scrolled down enough but definitely look up Taylor’s live concert performance of this. It’s amazing and chaotic ♥️

Monique Rodgers

She meant she can’t go back to before she met him. Like it never happened. Their relationship haunts her. He haunts her. No matter how much she tries to move on. It ended abruptly and it haunts her why it didn’t work.

Martha Lambert

I think she's haunted because she can't move on and she also can't go back so she's stuck thinking about/feeling it and unable to do anything

nina bean

Appreciate you both! Your content is seriously unmatched! You both can sing, dance, you’re funny, AND easy on the eyes… What the frig guys?! Lolol

malb901

For the longest time, I couldn't get into Speak Now. TTPD finally made me go back through Taylor's discography, and I was so angry with myself for not giving Speak Now a chance when it first came out. I believe my teenage self would love Rock Taylor. Safe to say, Speak Now is now in my top 3 of Taylor's discography. I loooove petty, vengeful Taylor. She really didn't filter herself out on this album. You should listen to Dear John. It's such a good song, and a great sample of what you can expect from All Too Well (when a man hurts her, Taylor really doesn't hold herself back, and with Dear John, it was 1000000% deserved).

Corinne E Colgrove

A good reference to get the meaning of this song is the bridge, notice how it sounds like she is begging, “I just know you’re not gone, you can’t be gone no!! Come on come on don’t leave me like this! I thought I had you figured out! Something’s gone terribly wrong, No! Finish what you started!” She’s feeling haunted and abandoned by this relationship. You guys reference Hamilton sometimes, I think this is one of Taylor’s earliest theatrical songs. The live performance on the speak now tour is evidence to that as well

Virginia

I think “ haunted “ could also mean that she can’t move on or try to escape cause she will always feel haunted by him and their relationship. “ wont finish what we started “ its something thats started but never finished, and she is stuck in it (?)

Dusty Lorenz

beggingggg y'all to do last kiss

Merle Henkel

i am BEGGING please please do last kiss!!!!! PLEASEEEEE

Aurelie Salas

Loving the reactions! Please please react to The Moment I Knew 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

If you like rock Taylor and interesting musical choices, I would really recommend Wonderland from 1989. That song lives in my head and I don’t know why more people don’t talk about it.

Katrina

Petition for live eras tour version of hauntedxexile pleeeease

Kelly

Emo Taylor!! 🤣 love your guys content x ❤️

CheriMichele

I think it means her mind is the house that the memories of him are haunting. Their relationship died but the memories of it and of him are still torturing her; haunting her.

anyonebutsydney

i don’t think it was ever confirmed by taylor but ALLEGEDLY this song was originally written to be on the twilight new moon soundtrack which is why it goes so hard and heavy! it’s following the vibe of like. paramore, muse, etc. other artists who very notably contributed to the twilight soundtracks. and if you look at the lyrics it really does sound like it mirrors the plot of the beginning of new moon!! not sure if this is totally true but ive always thought it made a lot of sense

Cara M

Oohhh are we gonna get Dear John one day?

TheLittleCarrotThatCould

Please can we see your reaction to Enchanted (Taylor’s Version) and then the live 1989 tour Wildest Dreams x Enchanted mashup?? 🥺🩷

Cara M

This was one of my eras suprise songs! With exile 💜🩶

Noa

Most random song choice lol, but I like that you go into less typical options!

Sami Tarr

I think y’all are right that they are still in a situationship during this song, but he has gone cold. Also, Taylor’s early angsty rock vibes are perfection, this, should’ve said no. Imagine this music getting you through high school lol.

sama azzawi

Yall has all to well been requested

Erika Batchler

Dear John and then Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve PLEASE

Kate

It honestly just shows how versatile she is as an artist!

Isabella Peterson

As an original swemo (swiftie+emo teen) this is one of my all time favourites still. Love the music in this so much

Sarah Jernigan

https://youtu.be/AuuNzL9HP-A?si=OdLcw2rO6V0oDhn5 This is the Haunted/Exile mashup from Eras tour. The best part about this one is during Exile the crowd sings her parts and she is singing Bon Ivers but at one point the crowd does such a great job she stops singing her parts (and smiles so proudly) and lets the crowd continue on their own. The whole performance gives major chills. 🫶🏻

Tracey

How about Back to December, would’ve, could’ve, should’ve, forever and always, white horse.. just trying to think of different options but I am happy with anything 😂. You guys are great!

Carolyn Marks

Watching this made me realize how she’s singing about a person you just can’t figure out, and that’s represented in the music itself. The melody and where she goes is something you can’t figure out/predict. It doesn’t rhyme the same way her typical songs do, it’s rock and classical which you wouldn’t expect, you can’t anticipate where her range will be…the song is as unfigure-outable as the relationship. 🤯 this is one of the first times I’ve listened to Haunted and I’m not the whole way through their video so maybe they get to this point but I just got there lol

Stabigail

Kaniyia you are just too cute. I love your smile so much. I instantly smile back

Emily

This makes me want you guys to listen to Evanescence

Hannah

You should watch the speak now tour version of haunted from 2010 I think, it’s on YouTube. It’s insanely good live!

Reid Broom

The acoustic version of Haunted is so so good too. But this one of my favorites of all time. Anytime this comes on in the car I get so hype lol you can just hear the pain and despair…

Ashley Huff

Okay I'm sorry but at this point you're gonna have to just go through her entire discography and react to every song she has...you guys point out parts of the song I never noticed before and it's making me appreciate the songs so much more

Erin Hollar

Just think, she wrote this song when she was between the ages of 18-20, this album was released just before she turned 21.

Theresa ✨

Yassss Haunted deserves all the love 🙌🏼 you guys are the best People can be divided on haunted but it’s such a favorite of mine and really shows the versatility of her musicality imo Also Kaniyia’s face at 8:26 is priceless 😂

Theresa ✨

This was always my interpretation (but I could be wrong 😂) She can’t go back to the way she was before him because the “ghost” of him is always with her. She just can’t let him go.

Michael Nunez

Swifties Check-In: WHERE ARE THE DEAR JOHN & WCS STANS 🫶🏼 We need to get them to react to these songs back to back!

ReT

I love rock Taylor too. If you want more of that, one of my favourites is the rock version of We Are Never Getting Back Together that she did live on the 1989 tour - it's amazing!

Sandra Davidson

Since you’re Bridgerton fans you might want to do Enchanted next. Total Bridgerton vibes

Charlie 🪩🌷⭐️

You should react to the prophecy, dear john, would’ve could’ve should’ve, this is me trying, champagne problems, peter, the lakes, mirrorball etc…

Amanda Hunter

The OGs remember the giant bell on the speak now tour that she would “hit”

Coral

Rock Taylor is amazing. You should check out the 1989 tour performance of We are Never Ever Getting Back Together Rock Version

Lindarose Farias

Love listening to all these videos. As much as a love a soul crushing lyrical song, I feel like we need to introduce you to some fun ones. “Is it over now” and is such a fun bop. “Wildest dreams” or even “Slut!” Are all so good. Ooh I also think you two would like “Lavender Haze” or “Midnight Rain.”

Amy

Love Speak Now! It was the first album she wrote entirely alone bc critics used to say she couldn’t/didn’t write her own songs. You should do Dear John from this album 🩷

Annie Lapierre

If you want rock Taylor with vocals, do Dear Jonh. The only thing....if you listen to TV, I find she is less mad and has less emotions in her vocals.

Anna

IS IT OVER NOW? Omg you guys will LOVE IT!!

Sophie Green

Another day of asking for last kiss

emily

2011 speak now tour live version 🔛🔝 trust me! 🫶🏻

lena

would’ve could’ve should’ve !!

Krista Holtz

I always felt like this could be an Evanescence song. It's got that flavor.

Sandra Davidson

Since you’re on Speak Now- please do a reaction to Dear John followed by Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve. She wrote DJ when she was 19 about her relationship with a 32 year old (you can guess who.) Then she wrote WCS when she was 32 looking back at the relationship from her 32 year old perspective. So good!

lena

omg wait do you have an uncut version for false god? i was just thinking abt how i want you guys to hear it… then realized you did it on tiktok

Kaiti Mac

It’s country Taylor!!!

✨•Chelsea•✨

Still begging for Dear John & All to well (10 min) version

Marianne Stark

Have you watched Folklore long pond studio session movie

Pamela Hart

You can’t do that to black people 💀 killed me

pickle ash

Kaniyia was onto it with the "He will try to take away my pain & it just might make smile but the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead" She can't move on fully because she's always thinking of him & still attached to him - thus she's being haunted by the memory & thought of him/being with him!

Haley M

If you like rock Taylor, you'll love her live rock version of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together from the 1989 tour! I DIE every time I watch it!! Please watch!

Michelle A

After a stressful day of work and kids, watching the two of you for 20 minutes is exactly what I needed. I don't know why but you bring me so much joy!! This isn't one of my favorites of Taylor's (country rock Taylor wasn't so much my thing) but I appreciate it more after watching you guys! Thank you for sharing yourselves with us ❤️

Sheri

Speak Now will always be my favorite album

Becky (Bex)

I love this song, and Rock Taylor.

Cassandra Cashner

Love you guys so much! Kaniyia your edges are extra pretty today! These videos are part of my me time after my daughter goes to bed. Thanks so much! 💚

JoAnna Swensen

Love you guys! Keep the videos coming

Kaylee Harbin

She wasn’t younger! This was a re-record! This came out last year! Her voice is so much richer and mature now! Adds so much more to the re-records!

Zoe Brown

I feel like their reaction to the violin and strings part would mean they would really appreciate the cello in the moment i knew and now I REALLY wanna see that!! Love yall 💕

Carol May

When she played haunted X Exile as mash up… my heart exploded

Monica Miller Conner

You make me re-appreciate songs like it’s the first time I’m hearing them again!

🫶🏼 Laura B. 🫶🏼

As someone who is only a month younger than Taylor, I still appreciate hearing songs for the first time. Never heard this one before and love to get to experience it through your eyes. 🩷

Jo

We love rock Taylor, and we love your reactions! You guys should check out the live version of We Are Never Getting Back Together that she did on her 1989 tour (linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bVsg1Ik-GQ).

Elena

“Help, I’m still at the restaurant. Sitting in the corner I haunt” She can’t move on from the relationship that ended abruptly. She can’t go back to living her life the way it was before the relationship. Even if she’s seeing someone, he’s still on her mind.

Clare Loughran

The way I bang my head to this every time I listen, in the shower, in the car, walking on the sidewalk lol

Clare Loughran

She’s haunted by her ex because she can’t seem to get away from him. He’s haunting her like a ghost. Can’t breath cuz the relationships dead

Porterhouse04

Ok! We MUST get these two to an Eras show! STAT!! lol

Daniel Roberts

Speaking of Dress… You should do Dress from the rep tour 😁💃

Livjhxx

PLEASE DO ALL TOO WELL 10 MINUTE VERSION 🫶🏻❤️

Dani Philpot

She is haunted by the thought of him. She can’t let him go even after it ended and even though it was fragile she had hope it wouldn’t end so she never thought she would actually see it. She was only like 20 when she wrote that song. 😊🫶🏼

Lil Gigi

She wrote this album (speak now) when she was 19, and was inspired by Paramore and Fall Out Boy!

Lil Gigi

You neeeed to listen to Dear John off of this same album next! It’s about John Mayer and the guitar on the song sounds JUST like the way he plays guitar. Then listen to Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve after - it’s also about John, but written 13 years later (when she was the same age he was when they dated)

Anna James

yall need to listen to the way i loved you!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan Hephzibah

omg you guys should really do last kiss!! You would LOVE it

Kaylyn Arnold

please do better than revenge!!!!!

Sharon

Not sure if already said, but this song always reminds me of the Twilight New Moon book with Edward being gone. And it came out around the time of the popularity. And even paramore did a song for the soundtrack

Sharon

You guys would make a fortune off $1 livestreams!

Julie

Back in the 80's I think would be considered a "power ballad"

Emily Wolf

I always interpreted at “never thought I’d see if break” as she was taking care of the relationship and doing everything to to protect it and he left anyways

Robinettekelly

I’ve commented before, but I want you two to know I am learning so much with y’all! Thank you for such deep dives for us newer swifties!

Whitney

In case anyone didn’t say it… she wrote the entire Speak Now album by herself bc “people” were questioning her writing ability. Pretty epic. It’s a very special album even though it’s older in her discography 💜

Marian

Omg if you guys love rock taylor, you should watch we are never getting back together live from 1989 word tour!!! You guys would loooooove it!!!!

Rachel Spagnuolo

I once again request we are never getting back together specifically from 1989 world tour. Legit rock taylor and its such a vibe. love y'all

London_313

It’s actually been a Swiftie theory that she wrote “Haunted” about the Jacob, Bella, and Edward love triangle. “He will try to take away my pain / And he just might make me smile / But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead.” “You and I walk a fragile line” Edward could kill her at any moment. And “haunted” was how Bella could not forget him after he left and kept having visions of him even when she was falling for Jacob. The lyrics & edgy vibe have led fans to read “Haunted” as a Twilight-adjacent track. Some think it was even planned to appear on the New Moon soundtrack, or play during the film’s credits. Those theories are only galvanized, of course, by the report that Swift was a Twihard back in the day. It was also said that Taylor wanted a cameo in the film with her then boyfriend Taylor Lautner but was denied because they worried that the moment she walked into the movie no one would be able to process anything else.

Gabrielly Oliveira

the silence was LOUD after "the whole time i was wishing he was you instead" lol

Natalie

Better Than Revenge is a good rock Taylor vibe and Paper Rings!

Sofia

Story of us— great rock Taylor song

Sofia

Guitar solo, drum solo, everything

Sofia

ALSO time for you to break into fearless. The way I loved you… forever and always

Natalie Higginbotham

Long live is such a special song yall need to listen. And back to December it’s about Taylor lautner. And my favorite on the speak now album are mine and ours. ❤️

AuthorTvillingsjelene

Yes, it's like HIS ghost is still with her, haunting her future relationships (Like "he just might make me smile, but the whole time I'm wishing it was YOU instead". I'M NOT WRONG

becky loveday

For more Rock Taylor, see Better Than Revenge

L

By saying she’s haunted she means that even though the relationship is over she’s still experiencing the bad parts and in her mind she is still in that past relationship (he Will try to take away the pain and he just would make me smile with the whole time. I’m wishing he was you instead.) . But also she means that she has not expected this to happen (Never thought I’d live to see it break/ I thought I had you figure out).

L

I wish you would’ve acknowledged the not change in the last chorus😭 literally one of the best parts in this song

❤︎ kayla

The beginning you double check to see it’s Taylor lol catching up on the last weeks vids 😁♥️

Rach

There’s a theory, not proven, that it was written for Twilight: New Moon and reflects the love triangle from the movie.

LeighAnn Cerra

My fav from Speak Now. Love rock taylor 🤣

Hannah Davis

I think of haunted as I can never go back to who I was or to my old normal because I will be haunted by this relationship and by you

Beth

I’ve always connected this song to Dear John and would’ve, could’ve, should’ve… she sings about ghosts (who haunt), him being cold and shining over his empty town, passing his tests and realizing she never had him figured out, so I feel like they all 3 are related and about JM!

Esther Newman

you need to watch the live version of this from the Speak Now tour from when she was only 20!

Elizabeth Hughes

Omg guys this is seriously my favorite underrated song & album if you loved this I highly recommend the rest of speak now its the closest to rock she's gotten other than her 1989 tour! Not to mention she wrote all of speak now entirely by herself at like 18/19 it's the early reputation in my opinion even though it's still a country album technically. Also if you loved this please please please listen to imgonnagetyouback from TTPD if you loved the music in this you will LOVE that one!

Kilene

A moment of silence for whoever she was talking to when she wrote this. 🤣

Jode

I love the rock vibe of Speak Now and especially Haunted it's my favourite song from this album 💜💜

Jode

The orchestral rock vibe reminds me alot of Evanescence and I LOVE IT!!

Margaret Russell

This was the first taylor Album I brought when I was in my 20's

Jode

At the end of the song with the closing line "never thought I'd see it" Ita kind of like it's a mic 🎤 drop moment- that's how I imagined it anyone lol the orchestral rock vibe, it's an emotionally charged song and then to end with this line and a mic drop - 👌

Avery

just incase no one has explained it but haunted is about your partner falling out of love with you and you’re realizing it, and when they break up, she’s haunted by the relationship and him for the rest of her life

Kate MacLeod

I think the speak now world tour album is truly a masterpiece. I prefer the vocals on the album when she was younger (in this case) and I think it’s sonically fantastic.

Shelby

Rumor has it- emphasizing the word Rumor here, that this song was written for New Moon, because this was the same album as the timeframe for New Moon, released in 2009, and Speak Now the album released in 2010, and Taylor Swift was dating Lautner at the time. “He will try to take away my pain and he just might make me smile, but the whole time I’m wishing he was you instead” talking about Bella filling up her Edward time with Jacob time essentially. The song is called haunted, and In New Moon Bella is literally hallucinating Edward to the point of almost killing herself at least three times. “And it’s coming over you like it’s all a big mistake” -To Bella’s perspective, Edward leaves at the beginning of new moon because his blood-alcoholic vampire brother almost kills her. “Won’t finish what you started” you dragged me into this world, almost got me killed and now you won’t stay and commit to the bit.

Jode

I've recently read she was inspired to write Haunted after waking from a dream with a disturbing realisation that someone she was in love with was drifting away. She envisioned the music to reflect the intensity of the emotion the song is about. The lyrics also suggest it's occurring towards the end of the relationship, with her pleading her lover not to leave, but he eventually does and she's tormented by the aftermath & memory of the relationship

Steph

She is a master at really sad lyrics with upbeat music. Forever Winter (Red) is a good example of this just like I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.

Amie

She doesn't switch to past tense because she can't move on, she's Haunted in the present and can't see a future

Jordan Bauman

Her entire Speak Now album she is the sole writer for every song!! Clap for that incredible accolade at that age when she created this album. Incredible.

JillianK

One of my absolutely most favorite Taylor songs ever !

Leslie M

I heard the British too😆

Ashley Z

Speak Now was the first Taylor concert I went to

Kim Campbell

You need to see the Haunted x Exile mashup from the Eras tour. I think it was one of the Australia shows.

Kaylee Mahoney

Y’all need to do last kiss cause duuuuude

Toriannexoxo

I feel the same exact way every time an artist drops the music out! I feel it in my soullllll. 😂

Genevieve

Terry I love Demi lovato toooo please react 😂

DrEmily

She can’t go back to the way she used to be before him. He’ll always haunt her

DrEmily

The Speak Now tour performance will really “ring your bell” 🔔🔔🔔😉😉😉

Amanda

This is the album and song that took me from a TS fan to a Swiiiiiiffffftie 🤪💜 Also, the live version of this from the Speak Now Tour is even more amazing!!

Allison

I'm so so so so SO sorry, EVERYone, and the utmost respect to every TV song... But listening to this just makes me yearn for the original recording 😭 The in-the-moment sadness, anger, resentment will always be relegated to the original.

Lua

I love the Bridgerton references 😂

Chandra

It’s thank to this video that I knew this song for Vancouver night 1 ❤️
