Alyssa Malecha

These were my shows!!! I BURST into tears when she said she was performing Dear John 😭 I was not prepared and never thought she would sing that live again so I was very overwhelmed in the best way 💕

Madison McIntosh

I live in Minneapolis and couldn’t get tickets😭😭 I went to the stadium both nights though and could barely hear anything. The stadium has GIANT doors and if they would’ve opened them it would’ve been amazing. People set up a projector for live streams tho haha

Giselle Huanqui

Can you do a re fathom of the first time she did a mashup?? Argentina night 2 🤎 is it over now x ootw!!

Isabel Phillips

The tea tutorial at the beginning is everything lolol!

emma

Oh my god, I am not a tea drinker but this tea talk is iconic!! Also, NEVER microwave the water for a cuppa

ToadHemain

ahh this is my show im so excited, when she released Dear John as a song to buy I cried so hard at the idea that my show is on an offical recording

Tatum Lupa

YAY so close to the Cincinnati shows! I went night 2 which was the dreaded night y’all lost ivy. My first thought was y’all when it happened. Feel very lucky I got to experience that and I can’t wait to see y’all react to it fully for the first time 💜💜💜💜

Jennifer Rudolph

American here 🫶🏻 yes, I have microwaved water for tea. I also have a kettle, but microwave is faster 😁

ToadHemain

kettles are def more of a fun item that some people have ( at least where I live lol) I dont think id even know how to use it

CamilleC

Yes love the refathomings !! I've been thinking with TTPD on the way... Watch her make us re-re fathoms 🙈🤡 we will fathom this woman forever i fear

Lily Logan

Y’all work so hard, love your content 🩷🩷

StatMatt

We finally got the “tea” tea!

iLaney90

This tea rant is everything to me as an American Swiftie who has always loved tea but didn’t know electric kettles existed until I moved to South Asia for work 😭 I'm a teh Tarik or Masada chai girl now, though, but Harney & Sons earl grey is an excellent option for any American Swifties wondering. ALSO! DO NOT TOUCH the Celestial Blends brand, it's horrible 😅

Patty Minor

lol I’m 1:54 minutes in and a ashamed American. Cup of hot water in the microwave I. Attendance. I look forward to the tutorial.

Alberto

Besties this is probably gonna sound offensive to you (and watching your tea tutorial i understood I’ll be put in tea jail very soon) but I’m from Italy and I have NEVER EVER heard of anyone putting milk in their tea. To the point where I thought you guys were joking in the beginning. That is just not a thing here at allllll. However, I do trust you guys sooooo much that I am for sure gonna try that and let you know🤍🥹

Patty Minor

2:29 minutes in and cold water and a tea bag into the microwave is how I roll. Lol

Trinity

Cause I don't have a kettle I use my keriug to brew my water for my tea.

Keri 🫶🏻

I live in the southern US and we only drink iced sweet tea but I was LIVING for the tutorial!

Rachel Wood

Haha!! I’m English and adored your tea making section 😂🫶🏼❤️ my method is exactly the same except when I’m having honey (afternoon tea) I do add my honey after, might have to try it your way! I also squeeze the tea bag but because I use organic tea bags (brown colour) I’ve heard it’s fine…or maybe that logic just makes me feel better 😂

Alexis

I love yall taking the time to give a good tea tutorial. I’ve always been more a coffee drinker myself. Might be an American thing. Idk. 🙈

Patty Minor

4:12 minutes in and Lipton tea bag, cold water, microwave. Jeez I feel a shamed but I’m turning 62 on Wednesday and have to say I love my tea. Dare I tell you I put 12 bags of Lipton tea in a big glass jar with water in the window to make sun tea.

Kiana Barbieri

as an american, the tea fathoming was very necessary! thank you😂

Sara Wical

I was at Minneapolis night 2 and my friend predicted we would get Dear John because of the "thirteen days until Speak Now is returned to her mother" tiktok!!!!! we screamed and cheered!! also getting daylight on the piano, OFFENSIVE! best night of my life 💕 thank you for re-fathoming! ALSO! proud american who owns a kettle! lol

Waj

Simply had to make a tea after watching the tutorial. I’m from the UK and Tetley and Twinings are quintessentially British brands. So I’m a little hurt 😭 ☕️🫖

Mike Roach

Iconic choice in kettle. The Fellow Stag is a work of art. Love this random tea tutorial!

JeffreyC

this little "vlog tea" part of the video is EVERYTHING, I'm so down for more of that if possible

Sarah

This is going to be such a random comment, but I always love seeing how you two decorate your background walls! And for some reason, I was thinking if you were able to paint it a darker color (maybe a dark blue?), it would make the posters and that sign pop. I know painting isn't always an option, so this is mostly me being a backseat decorater. 😆 Anyway, love you two as always! Your tea tutorial was adorable and appreciated!!

Mercedes

as a tea lover in the US, I can confirm that an alarming number of people don't have kettles in their homes 😭😭

Brooke

Same 😂😂

Joan Chan

I’m an Earl Grey gal myself!

Sarah

Milk and sugar are pretty common additives to tea in England. I've not tried honey, though, so I'm excited to try it out next time! Tea with milk and honey sounds so decadent! ☕

ava

daylight is my fav ts song so this hurt me😭

Jules

Fathoming the lyric parallels with Betty and If this Was a Movie, except James did say sorry and at Betty’s front door/porch. Hmmm.

F1Swiftie

Ha about the tea 😄 I drink Twinings Earl Grey made in my Keurig and add Splenda for sweetener. I don’t like honey. I make about 18-20 oz at a time. Love a huge mug. I don’t like English Breakfast tea but I like Irish Breakfast tea. ☕️ Probably horrifying for the chickens 😉 I also do not like Tetley’s and Lipton is for making iced tea or sun tea.

Joe Weaver

The whole Dear John speech here was so interesting as we approached the release of Speak Now TV. Next two of these are fascinating. Cincinnati, the site of Aaron Dessner's murderous ivy appearance and then Kansas City & all that came with that. And then we'll be ready for TTPD! So exciting!

Mollie

I have been waiting for this tea chat for way too long because my tea is terrible, and I’m British haha x

Brittany Diamond

Oh HUGE second to the kettle versus microwave. I got a kettle last year and can't believe I ever microwaved tea like a silly heathen

Hannah

As a tea lover in the US - I don’t know anyone who DOESN’T have a kettle of some kind in their home… but I think everyone I know loves tea lol

Joe Weaver

We do need to refathom Argentina cause I still can't believe everything she did there. The IION x OOTW mashup and then she sings End Game with Travis there? It was really too much to take in.

Mahala Davaris

Thank you for the tea update! I’m gonna try! For me we have a coffeemaker so I use hot water from that but never have I put cold water into the microwave hahaha but no I don’t have a kettle haha! 😂

Brandon N

I have never owned a kettle

Giselle Huanqui

Oh yesssss!! I was there!! 🥹 karma is the guy on the chiefs and the run and kiss hard launch!! 🚀 omg cant get over everything that happened ir Argentina

Maria Hatch

Not me drinking Tetley every morning like an uncultured swine 🤭

Emily Schneider

I was at this show and can confirm we lost our ever-loving MINDS when Taylor said "so I think it's time to play Paper Rings." Sending love from Wisconsin! 🩷

Casey Kerrigan

One simply MUST be drinking YORKSHIRE TEA if they are in the UK! Or anywhere in the world if they can get it! As an Aussie in London I can confirm it is a SUPERIOR Black tea. Side brag- Florence Pugh agrees with me haha!!

Jessica

As an American, this video made me feel sooo validated! Your method is exactly how I was raised to make tea lolol

Sara Rose

I would like to issue a formal apology, I am the lazy American who microwaves their water. 😂 To be fair I don’t put the tea bag in the microwave! I heat water up in a measuring cup then pour it into my mug. I’ll definitely be investing in a kettle soon. 😅

Ysabel Boquiren

2 minutes into this video and i’m screaming OMG IVE BEEN DYING TO KNOW HOW YALL MAKE YOUR TEA I WAS JUST TOO EMBARRASSED TO ASK 😭😅

Marylovesowls

As an American who microwaves their water then puts in the tea bag, literally thank you!!! I have never heard a good reason of NOT to do it that way. But your explanation makes sense! I’m literally going to buy a kettle now! Also so thankful I do have that califa oat milk in my fridge - I use it for my coffee. It is the superior oat milk!!!

ACupOfSolace

LOVE the tea segment and definitely agree with you guys! Absolutely no microwave and add the milk only after giving it some time to brew

Ethan Nguyen

americans are lazy so yes microwaves tend to be go to’s🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Erica

I live in chicago and I have the exact same kettle as you! 🖤

Lynny Smith

Never thought my selection of tea would make me feel so connected 😂😂 Muldura all the way 🫶🏻 absolutely loved the tea chat, can we please have more tea making intros?

Jenny MacRunnel

So our family started using electric kettles for tea when I was in high school. My aunt and uncle and cousins lived in England for about 5 years, and they showed us the "proper way" to make tea. We've always had an electric kettle since. Its also great for making hot cocoa. I got my hubby used to it too. We also use it for our hot cereal or instant oatmeal. I have numerous kinds of tea (both tea bags and loose leaf teas), all kinds of different brands and flavors. I have this amazing peach green loose leaf tea I got at a specialty tea shop in Des Moines (not too far from where I live) I switch it up all the time! I have a French Press I use for my loose leaf teas (my mom actually bought it for me when she was in England ages ago and its still works great!) and I also use that for my ground flavored coffees I have (when I don't want to use my Keurig). I actually prefer coffee out of the French Press--there's no filters or anything added, so it tastes sooo fresh! I do it a lot on the weekends, when I'm not in a hurry. During the week, its usually Keurig for convenience. I never add milk to my tea (but I add tons of creamer to my coffee LOL), but I do add honey. I enjoyed your tea tutorial, it was fun! And I do know people who use the microwave for their tea (yikes!)

Natalie Lyddane

feeling so elite to find out that i make tea the proper way according to the head chickens

Gosia Buzzanca

I love you girlies!!! Perfect tea indeed. Also check out a song 'The Ick' by Panic Shack ;) (now back to the rest of the video)

Ethan Nguyen

i also love these vlog energiessssssss I MISS THE VLOGS SO MUCH DO MORE

Jenny M

I really miss your vlogs, you should do more vlogs in the future.

Takara

Tea 🖤 Idk if we will get more on TTPD about the beginning since as you’ve mentioned she wrote about it a lot. But maybe she wrote more that will come out on Rep TV 😶

ACupOfSolace

If im not wrong she said something about owning her music in the journey to fearless but I might be misremembering?

Karolina

In terms of mashing up dear John with another song - this song is written in 3/4 (three beats in a bar) so it would be awkward to mash it up with a 4/4 song like WCS. Interestingly, most of her songs are written in 4/4, there are only 5 ones written in 3/4: dear John, last kiss, lover, sad beautiful tragic and crazier, so my guess is she will mash up dear John with one of those. Love you 💜

Rebecca

You guys should make a video about all the repeated references Taylor makes i.e the rear view

Katryna Schuster

Bonny!! This reminds me of your old cooking videos. God I love watching those. I still watch the ones you have available for inspiration every once in awhile. I just had to share because it felt nostalgic. I do miss seeing you in the kitchen, God you make good food girl!! 🙏

V. Babida

The way I’m literally LIVING for the thorough tea talk in the beginning lol I just love you both so much, thank you for another superior refathoming! These videos are seriously the highlight of my week! 💖

Erica

She’s saying the ICY POOL will make her turn blue! He jumped in first and she followed. I’m with you- I followed you into the pool. And it was so icy cold that my skin turned blue! 🥶 I really don’t think it’s about being sad

Yasmin

Yells from across the ditch..yes to all of the tea making steps!! And of course there are going to be slight differences, but the fundamentals are spot on. I obvs don't speak on behalf of all kiwis, but I know my cuppa is in safe hands with aussies and brits, because involving a microwave is absolute blasphemy :D

Jennaly

I swear I read somewhere years ago that Joe's family has either a Christmas or New Years tradition where they jump into a cold pool or pond or something? I think it ties in with the painting the brother's wall blue, meaning she is referencing all the ways she is becoming part of his family and wants to marry him

Dara Sofia

Just started this video and the team tutorial absolutely made my day!!!!! I love it, everyone loves it, we all love it when you guys add random snippets lol

Maya L. Davis

I just so happened to be having my first cup of tea in MANY months when I started this video, so I ended up making it right alongside your tutorial! I learned so much!

Maya L. Davis

I used to microwave tea in college LOLZ but we're recovering & learning from our mistakes

Jenna Bolmgren

Yay! I was there N1 and while it was iconic as every Eras show is, I’m still sad I missed Dear John and Daylight.

Jackie Weiss

Yes! I fathomed this when Bonny read the full lyric and came here to say the same!!

Meghan

I loved your "tea"-torial dolls! I'm from New York and my great-grandmother who passed away when I was 4 lived with my grandparents and made sure all the kids in our family drank tea she would give us little spoonfuls as babies. She was born and raised in Canada and came to New York at 17. So that may have something to do with it. I have always known you boil the water, then steep the tea - I also love black tea. Our family's go-to brand is called Red Rose. I usually let it steep for about 5 minutes then add either sugar or honey and then milk. Tea drinking certainly isn't as culturally a staple as it is in the UK or Australia. However, the country is so vast it's hard to say that we as a collective all make it one way. I've never met anyone who makes their tea in the microwave, I only heard about that being mentioned over the last few years. I'm sure that some people will make it that way because they're in a hurry or were never taught how to make it. But I've only met people who know they should boil the water for their tea. I think Americans drinking tea is more common than people overseas think. It probably depends on what pocket of the country you're from or if you come from a family of tea drinkers like myself. This was a rather long-winded comment. But I love all the work you girls put into your videos for YouTube and the Patreon. You both have inspired me to make my next cup of tea with the tea bag and honey in the mug before the boiling water, I've always sweetened my tea once it's brewed. It has never occurred to me to sweeten it simultaneously. Thank you for that superior idea. Keep up the good work girls it's so appreciated!

Jami Marie

The tea tutorial was so cute 😭<3 tysm guys

MarkH

Love this unhinged style of video, where you have no idea what tangents you are going to go down! It is honestly one of the best things about your videos. Agree with you on Taylor and Travis; wait until it feels right And on Daylight, I wonder if "everyone looks worse in the light" could refer to the harsh neon light of her lyrics

Kenna Galloway

Soooo raise your hand if you were influenced to order Madura tea packets today? Because it is deeply ingrained in you that YOU DESERVE A CUP OF TEA ??

Tess7

Thank you for the tea tutorial! I’m such a coffee drinker, but you guys make those cups of tea look so good that I want to try it. Great video, enjoyed your chat about each song. I will say, Peace is not my favorite to listen to a lot of the time for the same reason. It does feel like Taylor thinks Joe is so above her. I do understand her level of fame can cause unique issues in a relationship as well, so I don’t hate the song- but I do skip it often, sorry.

Stephanie

I saw Ed Sheeran at Foxborough a few nights after her speech before Dear John and John Mayer was a surprise opener for Ed when his regular opener was injured. I feel like her speech was partially related to the fact that Ed was going to have John Mayer open for him in Boston.

Jennifer

I always interpreted “my love was as cruel as the cities i lived in” as in love (noun) as in her boyfriend. They always “looked worse in the light” as in when she realized who they really were/broke up

Tess7

I agree! Love her cooking vids and I was never vegan lol

Dara Sofia

I’m just fathoming that this is Minneapolis so that means we have Cincinnati next AND THEN we’ll be having Kansas City! Like what do you mean we’ll finally see the show where Travis saw her 😭 Also we have Cincinnati so we’ll see the infamous Ivy / Call It What You Want / I Miss You I’m Sorry combo 🥲

Giovanna Sicchio

I’m simply never skipping anything you guys do 😂 Loved the tea tutorial!!

Austin Smith

Yes! Spill the tea on making tea. I’m from the south in the US and I make sweet iced tea over here 🫶

Giovanna Sicchio

me in brazil microwaving the water thinking it would be the same as boiling 💀

Jenna Bolmgren

I know the 112 day theory isn’t really a thing anymore, but we fathomed that it was 112 days from when she played “If this was a movie” to The Eras Tour movie release 🤯

Renee

I really love the tea tutorial. As an American tea drinker, i had to rely on my English and Australian friends to set me straight on proper ways. No more microwaving water!

Katharine C

You guys have basically become my comfort show🥹 thank you for the amazing content as always🫶🏻

Renee

I order all my tea from T2 in Australia! Some of the best tea I’ve had.

Laurie Letendre

For me "I'm with you even if it makes me blue" and the way she sings this line in a higher pitch always gave me this image of her jumping in the cold pool and she's like exclaiming because it's cold, and it literally makes her skin blue because of the cold (like when you get hypothermia). But of course the double meaning is also there with the color blue being associated with sadness and anxiousness in so many of her songs.

oPaulo

I always love your videos when you guys are sipping on tea and eating biscuits, it makes it very cosy so I for one loved the starting 10 mins!

✨Bri✨

Not me always making tea with like 2 of your no no steps….microwaving water and putting Lipton tea in the mug afterwards 🫣 hahaha oopsie. Maybe that’s why I never drink tea lol

Jordan Bush

What if you put the water in a pot and not a kettle and boil it on the stove.

BelleB22

Have you guys tried the Lan Choo brand in Aus? So good!

Bree

About Peace, I have always thought that she was saying she didn’t feel like she was good enough for him in some of the lyrics. I have gotten that from other songs too. I didn’t really get the vibe that he made her feel less than though, I think it was just how she ended up feeling about him being high above the whole scene after several years. That was a positive about him at first, but then made her feel insecure about talking shit with her friends, like she’s wasting his honor.

Jeebs

I could be speaking regionally, but I would say most American's don't have tea kettles at ready. Coffee and espresso makers, sure...but not a tea set up.

Sofia DiNapoli

I am definitely one of the Americans who microwaves the water with the tea bag in🫣 Maybe that is why I don't really like tea lol. Need to invest in a kettle!

Jennifer Nolan

I am a huge tea girl so I appreciate this video opening, I have been wondering what tea you use! I am diabetic but I like sweet tea which is a conundrum! I find that liquid monkfruit drops for a sweetener tastes most similar to honey and doesn't have a weird aftertaste to it at all. For milk, I prefer some heavy cream (thickened cream is what it's called in Australia?). I ordered some Madura premium blend today, we'll see how it compares to my usual Taylors of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast. I am excited to try it! :)

Ashley Romine

‘My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in.’ ‘I’ll tell you the truth, but never goodbye." I think that she's touching on her having difficulty loving people, and that people she was with wasn't any better with it. She admits to her partner that she has done things she regrets and she wants “tell [him] the truth, but never goodbye.” I always took this song being about her wanting to heal from her past traumatic relationships. It's like Afterglow is all about how she was "ruining" things and daylight is about her trying to get past those things with feeling like she found true real love.

Liv

Not me watching with my microwaved tea LMAOOO

Mike

The effort you two have been putting into getting videos out lately is so appreciated! THANK UOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Jed

Would love to hear your thoughts on the WCS/Ivy mash-up implications, and how she turned "now I'm covered in you" into a line about trauma. Also the 'wolves' lines in Daylight give me Cowboy Like Me vibes, two rogues who put down their cloaks and came together.

superscarf

Team iced tea for life. 😆

Johanna

Word on the street is JM hired a bulldog of a lawyer (famous in the entertainment industry) before the re-release of Speak Now. This lawyer approached Swift's team and basically told them not to fan the flames of Dear John, aka if he got the Jake Gyllenhaal treatment, they would seek legal action. I remember hearing this talk after hearing that and thinking... she got the message loud and clear!

RuthGA

I can tell you from a Hispanic-American household we have always had a kettle but I have heard of white Americans using the microwave eww lol. Gosh there was so much in these performances, but Daylight is one of my favorite songs and I cried that night cause I really wanted it as my surprise song.

Mia Gregorio

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mia Gregorio

dear john and daylight on the same night is too much for a human too handle 😫🫶🏻

Mia Gregorio

if this was a movie is SOOO UNDERRATED, one of my favorites

noah

omg i had no idea people put milk in their tea…i’m having a tea fathoming. i’m american so i’m quite uncultured when it comes to tea

Rachael P

I've learned so much!

Katie LaFave

it's kind of crazy that lover is her most streamed album & gets a lot of streams daily when i feel like lover gets a lot of hate in the fandom

Katie LaFave

i was SOOOO OBSESSED with lover when it came out!!! still am obsessed obviously

Katie LaFave

fun fact: lover came out the day after my 16th birthday & my actual 16th birthday was the day she announced that she would be re-recording her albums on good morning america!!!

Dswiftie

Don't you think if John Mayer was changing that he would apologize to Taylor? I remember hearing Joe on some talk show talking about a xmas tradition with his family was jumping into a icy river in the middle of winter. Maybe that is what Taylor was referring to. I hope you guys are doing well. I'm getting really excited for ttpd. Thanks for the tea tips. Love you both.

Katie LaFave

also cruel summer is now taylor's most streamed song on spotify with almost 2 billion streams!!!

TScout

Just ordered Madura Premium Blend on Amazon in U.S. and will be getting some Califia Farms oat so I can make a PROPER cup of tea with my favorite Australians. ☕️💛 P.S. Don’t worry, I use a kettle!

TScout

😂

j🪩

emily the hair is sooo cute!!! 💝☺️

Lexa

I completely understand what you guys mean about John’s music and his growth. Born and Raised and Paradise Valley definitely have more themes addressing his own issues, but there is often a sense of defensiveness and lack of accountability along with it. I do wonder if Paper Doll had any influence from his relationship at that time (KP) and her opinion of Taylor, but of course none of his earlier actions are defendable.

maya zutra

Skip the first 10min??? Are you insane that’s the best part 😍 oh if only people had 5% of the passion you have for tea the world would heal

marissa

Thanks for the tea on the tea besties!! 🫶🏼 love me some quality tea over coffee and totally gonna try your techniques that’ll surely be superior! Also loved this refathoming 💖

Katie LaFave

to sort of answer bonny's question on how taylor feels about her longevity as an artist: taylor said this in her jimmy fallon interview for midnights "i'm 32. so, we're considered geriatric pop stars. they start putting us out to pasture at age 25. i'm just happy to be here."

Naomi

WHO IS CARRYING THAT EGG?? hahaha I love you guys

Clash Fan

As not only an American but originally from Texas. Hot tea was simply not something that was consumed unless you had a cold. We drank iced tea and if you are from the deep South it's called sweet tea with an extreme emphasis on the "sweet". It wasn't until I moved to Boston in the late 80's that I had proper black tea. I would say it's regional in the US still. I do not use the microwave, I do know people who do. I have an electric kettle now but used a stove top for years. My go to daily blend Is Yorkshire Gold, I will drink Barry's in a pinch. I used to drink the Fortnum and Mason "Royal Blend", which is a lovely English Breakfast tea, very smooth. I currently live in Colorado and I have to buy from an importer to get any of the teas I've mentioned. Most of the stuff here is herbal and it's not the same thing at all. On a national level you can usually find Twinning's English Breakfast. I swear the stuff they sale in America taste different than the English version and I think it's just OK.

Katie LaFave

still to this day taylor doesn't do a speech before the piano. she hasn't in almost a year

Ally ❤️

In terms of Scott & she talking about owner her masters: “15 years, 1500 tears, begging til my knees bled…” I think there were many conversations…

Katie LaFave

is it just me or are all of these surprise song videos behind their audio??

tbeckett

I wonder during the Argentina N2 refathoming if they will include the karma is the guy on the chiefs and the kiss video at the end.

Katie LaFave

i've heard a lot of british celebs say they use a microwave instead of a kettle lol

maja

i truly hope no one skipped those superior first ten minutes

Moni

ok so i've always been a tea hater because i've always felt like it tastes off to me BUT I WILL GIVE THIS RECIPE A GO because i'd love to drink a cupppppa with the girlies so i'll give you an update soon 🤣

Maria McElroy

You guys need to try Barry’s Gold tea from Coles international section ☕️🫖 a true Irish tea = top tier 💫

anntallogy

in Thailand and Cambodia you can get Madura. and it`s my personal fav tea w taste/price level, but i`m earl grey girlie^_^

Green Wolf Gaymer

As a Brit, I approve of this PSA on how to make tea. Yorkshire Tea is the brand to go to.

Noemi

Girls i really think you should plan and go to the very last show of the tour. it would be magical and I would love to live it through you!!

Madeline

Just prepared myself a cup of tea whilst watching, thank you for the tutorial, finally I was waiting for it hahahah 💕💕💕

Ava Jeffs

"im with you even if it makes me blue" makes me so many parallels to cruel summer: "Killing me slow...What doesn't kill me makes me want you more....It's blue, the feeling I've got" One of my other favorite lyrics from cruel summer that I think is so telling is "And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know." "And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know" and "I'm with you even if it makes me blue," both convey a sense of enduring pain and sacrifice in a relationship, while keeping the depth of that pain hidden from the partner. The first lyric suggests a willingness to suffer in silence, not revealing the extent of the emotional hurt ("bleed") to the partner. The second lyric expresses a commitment to staying in the relationship despite the sadness or emotional pain it causes ("makes me blue"). Both lines illustrate a theme of quiet endurance and the complexities of love, where one may choose to bear emotional burdens privately while maintaining a façade of steadfastness or normalcy in the relationship. Its almost as if she kept all the files of her turmoil locked away...at the tortured poets department...and now the files are being released.

Mie

As a fellow Tea Girlie I’m loving the tea tutorial 😂👌🏼 I was raised on tea by a mom who is a tea fanatic and always says “There’s nothing a good cup of tea can’t fix”. I’m from Denmark and the majority of danes dont drink tea, but Coffee. Getting a good cup of tea, when not at home or at my patents House is actually quite hard. And I agree with you that those brands are god awful 😅 I also often do honey in tea however we do not put milk in tea here. I only see kids doing that or people who isn’t really fond of tea 😂

Faustine L

Thank you so much for the tea tutorial ✨ I was extremely curious about this process and I can't wait to try it 🍵

angel (plnkblue)

I sort of fathom "my love was a cruel as the cities I lived in / everyone looked worse in the light" as a bit of a parallel to something like, "I used to switch out these kens, I'd just ghost, rip the bandaid off and skip town like an asshole outlaw," as in the lines are kind of alluding to a tendency to fall out of love quickly, or like you guys said, using some guys as "getaway cars" and genuinely not caring about them, actually becoming the person she pretends to be in songs like Blank Space, I Did Something Bad, and Ready For It. I think about how much she links the concept of a city to HER as a metaphor in Lover; False God and "I'm New York city," especially. I feel like it calls back to the 1989 era, how she embodied pop and NYC during that time, and how the stress of it all--especially the demands and commentary from the public, leading to her swearing off relationships entirely--contributed to her behavior. We can see this sort of reactionary behavior explored further in songs like The Great War, were past trauma in relationships affects her behavior in the current one. Additionally, I think the "worse in the light" line is interesting to think about when you consider how she links her passion and love of Joe throughout the Rep album to a lot of dark moments, or moments spent in the dark--dive bar on the east side, phone lights up my nightstand in the black, kiss you as the lights went out. These associations with darkness imply a potential connection between the good moments and that darkness or secrecy, and by extension, the idea that once they step into the light, things will not be the same. All the faults will be illuminated, everyone will see the truth of them; you can no longer hide yourself when you've been illuminated. However, as she explores throughout the whole of Lover, the potential downs are just as important and integral to a relationship as the ups. The core meaning of Daylight is about a shift in her perception of what "love" means, and though this love may have started in the dark, it was burning bright and golden, and was never going to remain hidden there.

Charlotte

Yorkshire girlie here - you need some Yorkshire tea!!!

Jessie

Girls, Twinnings IS gourmet and WINS! Are you saying your tea is BETTER than twinnings?? Only cos I need to try it if so…..

Jessie

Well we do come here for the tea 🤣🤣🤣

Cassady

Thank god u put the milk in after tea and not before I might of had to unsubscribe 😂. I wonder how many of us make a cuppa before watching your vids

Eirini

man this video was purely chaotic and it love it lol I think that "my love was as cruel as the cities I lived in" is extremely interesting... the cities are the past relationships in which she lived imo, so that's how she was trained to love: cruelly... and everyone looked worse in the light, because you could see their flaws, as opposed to the dark, when they could look magnetic or eccentric or alluring in some way...

Katie K

As a British girlie and tea lover I really appreciated the 10 minute tea Ted Talk 🤌🏼☕️ thank you so much

Katie K

And yes, I support the order of your tea ritual. I’m also in favour of a little honey in my tea and I like Yorkshire Tea and oat milk.

💯

Love tea. Love the fathoming. Keep doing this how you both love it and we will stay!!!

Starbuck1234!

Thanks for taking time to discuss Tea Talk. I’m from US so it really is very much needed. My grandmother drank tea the way you described, with honey, but no milk. My mother was a sweet tea drinker, which in the US is really a regional thing and it was not very popular where I live. Sweet tea is really a Southern US thing, but of course anyone can drink it. But it was sun-tea. A big glass jug filled with water and numerous tea bags sits in the hot summer sun for all after noon. Then, my mom would add like a cup of sugar. Mix. And then it’s served cold with ice. It was delicious. I don’t make sweet iced tea but even without the sun, she would just make sweet tea whenever we were running low, or I would when I was young. We always had it, but in the summer it was made by the sun. Other than that, my hot tea drinking is usually reserved with food (or it upsets my stomach) with honey usually when I’m sick. But straight iced tea (with or without sweetener) is very popular.

Wendy

Minneapolis my hometown! Congrats on your 200k subscribers on Youtube!

Sandy

Thank you for normalizing milk in tea! A must. Re: “my love was as cruel as the cities I lived in; everyone looks worse in the light” Reminds me of the theme in Archer. Due to her damaged roots and traumas in love, she built up an armor and was ready for things to go south, ready to run, ready to be betrayed or abandoned. And the more in love she was “the light,” the more those fears came to surface because she had something more valuable to lose. So she saw the worst intentions in people in the “light” or in love. As for peace I think it’s really a double meaning— and fame being the safe or more surface one, but more intimately, references that her insecurities and need for reassurance would never go away and she always would need an extra layer of effort or validation to be soothed.”— “I know my pain is such an imposition.” I think it’s so beautiful that the songs she chose this night were about trauma and then subsequently, healing. 💖

MaKensie Harrington

As an American, I am an avid user of my electric kettle. I can’t fathom microwaving water. 😂

Annika

The line about „even if it makes me blue“ was talked about in an interview (don’t know if it was Joe or Taylor) and it was told that Joes family had a tradition of ice bathing and it was so cold in the water that there skin literally turned blue because of it (like blue lips when you are too long in cold water). If I’ll find the interview I’ll put it in the comments! :)

lloyds

112 Days after Minneapolis N1, where she play if this was a MOVIE, THE ERAS TOUR FILM is released in cinema!

SarahM✨🌷

The tea tutorial had me cracking uppp🤣 and I’ve always wondered how you guys make your tea so this was just great lol

Laura M

On the tea subject, in Asia it’s also a really big thing just to have instant boiled water. Like a kettle that’s always got the water boiled. It’s a fucking game changer. Highly recommend.

Karolina

And also I just fathomed that I bet you think about me is written in 3/4 as well

Brittany Fitzgerald

I thought the same thing about Peace when I first heard it. I didn’t listen to it often, because it low key gave me icky feelings, and at that time I did think they were happy. But I think subconsciously I was like something is off here, and with hindsight now I think that is why I barely listened to it (even though it is a good song by itself).

Brittany Fitzgerald

I honestly wondered if JM’s team reached out to threaten a lawsuit or something for defamation or harassment. Hasn’t he tried to sue her in the past? I think I heard that he almost did when Speak Now came out or a while after (I think on 13 podcast maybe). Either way I understand why she said that, it can be so embarrassing when Swifties are in people’s comments for no reason. Like Taylor wouldn’t want that.

Candy

Enjoyed the tutorial, even though I'm not a tea drinker. It's nice to be prepared! Anywho....do you think Joe's brother Patrick will show up at one of her London shows? They seemed to be pretty close, and he probably knows his brother was a schmuck.

Berkay Türkyılmaz

I really enjoyed just the two of you chatting about different stuff like tea! I would really much like to see you guys shoot some vlog, chatting about different stuff! Of course we looove Taylor but we also like you guys. Can you shoot a day in the life of Emily and Bonnie? Your moving vlog and this little chat about tea made me realize that I need more YOU and only YOU! Love youuu x

Hanna Kulla

we love a tea tutorial🙈

Hillary Davison

I feel so validated that we make our tea the EXACT same way as a Canadian 😂

Ramon❀°。

truly never thought i'd be getting a whole RECIPE ?1 Theses ladies really are giving us patrons our moneys worth! my besties fr

Julie

I was lucky enough to be at night 2 with dear John & daylight. For daylight...it was widely known in the city that weekend that it was chosen because a fan in attendance petitioned online for daylight to be in acoustic set to honor brother that died. Daylight was an important song for this person. It was a stunning, magical experience to see it live!

Cinetati

I think the make me blue lyrics references when you go into really cold water and getting cold and using it as even if we get into a crazy situation I'll follow you :)

Laura

English girlie here. Honey in tea is the bad kind of illegal but ok. ❤️ I really enjoyed your enthusiasm for English tea. I think we need more content like this 😅

labyrinthpeaches

As a British girlie I definitely approve of the tea conversation :D I don't usually have anything sweet in mine, but otherwise I do what you both do, with the kettle (it confuses me too that some people don't have one!) pouring the water over the tea bag, and then adding the milk and then taking the tea bag out after a few minutes. Sometimes I add honey if I'm having a herbal tea, like a lemon tea or something, they go really nice together! And for brands I think the most popular ones we have here are Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips, and we have Twinings too.

Leila

Yes i agree! I love Bonnie and Emily, they bring so much joy!! ✨💖✨

Jen Mays

American tea girlie and share your horror of microwaving tea...that's just not ok. I like experimenting with flavored honeys and teas though, and I'm not a milk in tea person.

Raven

Em, Bon, I am American and yes I have microwaved water for tea before upgrading to a kettle. But I followed your instructions today for tea and it is superior. ✨😂

Nicole D

I agree too. More of this please!

Raegan Williams

I’m American and I’m just curious if they have Sweet Iced Tequila in Australia. When I did a foreign exchange program from US to Vancouver BC , I ordered sweet tea at a restaurant and they brought me a glass and a canned brisk tea and was absolutely horrified 😁😂 just curious

Gustav Lucas

this tea intro... I have NEVER laughed more in my life

Monique New

MATE. I am refathoming daylight massively. So always considered the cruel love to be Calvin… But mate. Is it Joe? And after your discussion “step into the day light and let it go, just let it go, LET IT GO” hit me so differently” She is telling herself to let go of the problematic warning signs at the beginning, that he ran with the wolves and refused to settle down causing her to storm out. But I’m thinking she never let it go, or rather, it couldn’t let her go. Thoughts?

karisa

LIVING FOR THE TEA TUTORIAL

karisa

IM SCREAMING NOT EMILY CALLING ME OUT FOR MICROWAVING MY WATER FOR TEA😳💀💀

lane ♡︎

The tea tutorial was necessary, tysm 🫶🏼

Brenda1989

I know u guys said it has to come natural to fathom Travis BUTTT his new interview with Entertainment tonight is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 he is saying all the things!!

Charlotte Irene

Never been a big tea with milk drinker, but yours looked enough like coffee that I would totally try it 😆

Kellie Mahoney

I’m American but, this is almost exactly how I make my tea. I like sugar in the raw instead of honey but it’s blasphemy to press the juices out of your teabag once it’s done brewing. It makes your tea more bitter if you do that. Also love to sub in an Earl Gray

Anon_987

Omg tea spillllllll

Kayla Knutson

Minneapolis N1 was my show 🥹 Loved refathoming it with you! Thanks also for the tea on the tea. :)

Daisy

i feel so sad looking at the photos from the bahamas 🥲 imagine being on an intimate trip with your partner and it’s broadcasted to the world without your consent… i know we want tnt content but definitely not like this!

Emily Lorence

American here. My husband bought a kettle because he loves tea and wanted to have it the true way instead of the American way which is unfortunately microwaving our water. Having a kettle is superior! We’ve really enjoyed it.

Alex Engstrom

The tea tutorial was 👌🏻 and I don't even drink tea. It felt like a cozy get to know you. Love it.

Lauren S.

In the states we don't usually put milk in tea.

Lauren S.

I think she said that she doesn't care about what happened to her at 19 to prevent John Meyer from being able to try and sue her again like he did when the original album came out.

Chats & Reacts

Definitely know that’s what she means on the surface but we thought there was another layer to it 💙

KelB

I feel so validated!! My tea routine is the exact same, is this not how we all make tea here in aus??? :D

Elvia Kristoffersen

If she doesn't want the drama, why is she talking about the feud between her and Kim/Kanye again( in the Person of the year article)? Sometimes I don't understand her. Rumor has it that "Dear John" is about Martin Johnson, a co Writer and a music producer..I love Speak Now. And your videos!

Elvia Kristoffersen

She is a business woman after all. I dont believe that she doesn't care, but I could be wrong.

Eliza

DEAR JOHN X BETTER MAN??? over your sad empty townnn …. sometimes in the middle of the night i can feel u againnnnnn

carxleigh

As an American (who has since grown into a proper tea drinker since moving out of my parents house and learning the true ways of tea) I can unfortunately confirm that not only did I grow up microwaving water for tea, I have also left the tea bag in the water while microwaving it (and yes, it was the Lipton brand..that's the only tea my parents would buy). An all around tea nightmare growing up

Darya 🤍

Omg you HAVE to take the tea bag out. Black or green tea shouldn’t be brewed for more than like 3 minutes or it gets bitter

alex

If this was a movie is such a good but unfortunately underrated song! Once upon a time it was in my top 5.. and it still holds such a special place in my heart.. the outro 🥺🥺 Some songs are really about the feeling and the music they evoke.. like I can’t even describe what this song does to me

alex

Also.. if this was a movie.. I would have married you with paper rings but like it’s not and you don’t want to commit like that This is the message I’m getting

Elísabet Ásta Magnúsdóttir

I love the tea time in the beginning of video’s I think I will take this lovely tea tutorial and try to make my own to sip with you while I watch the next video and have a little bestie tea time 😁

Katie K

I’m sure you already have this on your interview question list but just incase: I would LOVE to know what she had planned for Loverfest and Taylor “and friends”. Is the opening of the Eras Tour partly what she had planned for Loverfest? I’m beyond curious about it!!! 🩷🌸

Caitlin Bell

I’m British and I do approve of most of the tea making steps (honey is quite uncommon but I’d prefer that to sugar if I was using a sweetener) however squeezing the teabag can make it bitter so I skip this

Hannah

My dad is from New Mexico and I’m Aussie (so I’ve lived in the States etc) and we do not have the Sweet Tea you’re talking about so Aussies would’ve had no clue about that 😂 Sweet Iced Tea is quite overly sweet to us generally too!

Hannah

I have the same SUPERIOR kettle and I wanted to know if you’re choosing 100deg for black tea ☕️. Serious business here in Aus with tea making 😂 I share the same passion for it.

Evan Hearsey

Haven’t watched your tea making yet but as a Brit, I’m scared. I’ll come back and let you know how I feel (reminder: anyone can make tea however they want it’s not a big deal haha)

Evan Hearsey

You did it perfectly! I use milk and a teaspoon of sugar though! Obviously personal preference

Kristen

wasn’t John Mayer opening up for Ed Sheeran around this time? or for just one night? idk i remember them being connected at some point so i feel like the speech was a nod to not go hating on Ed for being connected to John at the time.

Sadie T

Haha enjoyed the tea making, from a Brit I would only have to say take the tea bag out before adding milk but I feel like this is a big debate over in the uk 😂😂

Tiggy

From a Brit, I am deeply proud of your tea choice and routine ☕️🫶

Christine Violet

There are actually so many songs that kind of imply that there was a sadness or depression of sorts to Joe or their relationship!!

Jennifer Nolan

I just received my Madura premium blend and enjoying my first cup now! You are right that is quite the lovely tea! Thank you for the recommendation ladies! 🫶

ava

it was the week after (6/30) that john mayer surprise opened for ed one night bc the usual opener got into a car acccident lol i was there that night 😭😭😭

Maddison Dinkins

I love how obsessed they are with tea lol. Like i’m from the southern US and now a single person i know even owns a kettle or drinks tea unless its sweet tea

Jessie

If Taylor has a daughter she should play Taylor Swift

Riley Deneau

I like to think she played paper rings that night because that was my wedding day ☺️

lizzy

as a british/canadian brought up in canada where people do not understand english breakfast and a good cuppa and how essential it is... the tea lesson was so appreciated. the number of times I've asked friends "how do you take your tea?" and they're like "however" and I'm like... no but how do *you* take your tea? northamericans think tea and it can mean green, iced, jasmine, black tea(nothing added), fruity david's tea infusions etc. when it's like... no TEA to your specific preference unless I ask if you want herbal tea.

Rachel

Paper rings kind of reminds me of the song she's so lovely by scouting for girls - I'm not sure why, maybe its the pacing of it

k80scorner

Not sure if anyone has said this because there’s a billion comments lol but the “I’m with you even if it makes me blue” makes me think of the lyrics before it a bit - like she’s jumping in with him even if she gets cold and turns blue from the icy outdoor pool which could be a metaphor for jumping into the relationship quickly maybe? Idk just thoughts 😂

Linds K

Skip the tea tutorial??? Never! I may have just bought myself some Madura tea and a package of Tim Tams on Amazon so I can pretend I’m Australian for a minute over here in Virginia 😝

K

Sweet tea in the summer 🎶

Juliana Martinez

yes its like if this was a movie i wouldve married you with paper rings

Brooke Penniman

so I've been thinking about her state of mind a lot with evermore because I read "Rebecca" which is what apparently inspired "tolerate it" and I did not see this relationship between the main characters in the same way that Taylor described in her interview. maybe some projection on her part? no matter what that song is one of her most heartbreaking in my opinion!

Deborah

The tea tutorial was the best thing to ever happen. I will never make tea the same again 😍😍😍

lucy lambert

I think you guys need to do a re-fathoming of folklore/evermore once TTPD comes out, I feel like a lot of the sad songs will finally feel like a part of her story and not fiction songs like she's said previously

Phoebe 🌷

Hahah I live for the tea chat. Love the passion. You guys deffo make it better than I've seen some Americans make it ( I'm still disturbed 🫠) , and I 100% agree with you on no fancy shit like earl grey. And deffo not twinings or Tetley 🤮, for me it's Yorkshire Tea or nothing. You make it right, tea, hot water then milk ( not sure about oat milk?? But hey if it works for you... 😁) and you deffo have to let the tea bag 'mash' ( as we say in Yorkshire or brew as you say) before you put in the milk rushing that part can make or break it, I squeeze the bag before taking it out but do believe it you let it mash long enough you don't have to squeeze it. ☕🫖 Also where are your headbands from? I love them ❤️

Cristina

I'm sorry for your loss

Kimi Dowling

Please do more unhinged behind the scenes. It's my favorite.

Courtney Brooks

Just coming back to comment: Nashville Girly here on her way to buy her first hot water kettle at 33 because she was highly influenced by the international community here! Love you all!

Kara Norton

oh my gosh! this mention of peace perfectly fits with the playlists she just released...its on the "bargaining" playlist

Nan

Thank you SO MUCH for the proper tea tutorial! I *just* ordered a box of the Madura tea from Amazon, so I will be having the perfect cup of tea on Sunday! :) While I do not use the microwave (disgraceful, even for this American!), I do suspect that I could use better quality tea - and I'm going to try honey and oat milk (I currently use oat milk in my coffee). I'm so excited for this cup of tea and can't thank you both enough! xo

Nicole D

Where can we see your camping vlog?

angelina

you guys have inspired me to make a cup of tea the aussie way, however I simply do not own a kettle and had to boil it in a pot (disgraceful, I know).. but I love your headbands pleeease tell me where you got them from!!

Jess D

Phew. I'm from America and have never microwaved tea 😂. Irish family. Barry's with milk.

Honey

As a Brit and a fellow tea enthusiast, I cannot express how happy the tea tutorial made me! Literally going to make what I’ve now titled the Chats & Reacts Tea ♥️😂 love you both!

Marina

I’m not a tea lover and you would just collapse if you saw how I make tea😂 (ejem microwave ejem 🤣) Now I’m curious to see whether I like it better when doing it your way (the right way I guess??😂) Thanks for enlightiening us 🫖

Carrie

Thank you for the tea tutorial!! American here who wouldn't dare microwave water for tea. Kettle all the way for tea or drip coffee! Do either of you drink coffee as well? ☕

Carrie

I had to buy some English breakfast tea and oat milk to try... It sounds so good! I'll be sipping some soon, all the way over here on the Oregon coast. 💗 (Originally from Minneapolis, actually!)

Stephanie Stevens

If anyone in America is putting the tea in a mug with water and microwaving it I will personally go to their house and set things straight 😂 😂 😂 that's just insanity, I have never heard of such a method

Sophie

As a brit, we absolutely squeeze the tea bag until there is nothing left to squeeze

Tepa

Omggg that’s my MN video for Daylight hehe 🩷 Love you both so much! c:

Gillian Vann

not a tea drinker, but I couldn't NOT watch, haha. so I made a cup of tea while watching, and seems like I'm doing it the same. although as a normal person (haha: a GenX) I drink normal milk, not seed-oil infused "milk", but my other top tip: use the frothed milk from the jug of milk you used to make coffee earlier. the milk is not cold, and the light froth is so nice to make tea more special.

Gillian Vann

also will change my tea brand for my airbnbs based on your recco, i'm not a huge tea drinker so just bought Twinings... I'll switch to madura!

Adélaïde K

Fine I’ll watch your cooking show 😂❤️ loving the Vlog vibe ! And as an herbal tea producer/farmer myself I’d say try to go to farmers market if you can and get the goods from small producers, try to get a product that has a good color and smell. But it’s mostly herbal teas tips 😊

Lauren

As a British person who knows how to make a tea anyway as it's in the DNA, I will say I truly enjoyed this segment and the love of a Breakfast Tea even in Aus. I will say, here it's all about the Yorkshire Tea - I'm totally with you when it comes to Tetleys and Twinings. Yorkshire tea is elite though. We also can't dunk in the same way as we don't have the string, but I love your process haha.

kayla ramoutar

kettle is a MUST. Maybe a heathen to you for this, but I don't use milk in my tea! Black tea (with sweetener of choice, of course) onlyyyyyy. (I'm Canadian!)

Abigail Roney

I think “I’m with you even if it makes me blue” is a more literal reference to the previous line: “In the winter in the icy outdoor pool, when you jumped in first I jumped in to… I’m with you even if it makes me blue”. Like… I love you so much that if you jump I jump even if its literally so cold that I’m going to turn blue… I do think it’s interesting to point out that so many of her love songs about Joe include lines about her following him… “when you jumped in first I jumped in to, can I go where you go, wherever you stray I follow” So even though the line might be referencing the freezing cold water, I do think it could also refer to the fact that she was willing to do anything to follow him even if it wasn’t good for her. Also, love the cute tea tutorial. :) Do you have any herbal teas you enjoy??

Cher

Thoroughly enjoyed the little John Mayer detour! More of this please!!

Laura Bolanos

Ummmm first off: 1. THANK YOU for the tea 😆 as an American I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate this lol 2. Paper Rings… I remember vividly how confused I felt about her Lover songs. Rep & Lover are so high in my list because im a hopeless romantic and attribute a lot of the gushy love songs to my husband… so I could never understand why there was such a heavy theme of “blue” in her Joe songs. But NOW it does make sense. They came together at a time where Taylor was the bluest she’d ever been… I personally think he’s a really sad boy… almost like that sadness brought them together. They were friends bonding over their depression perhaps and fell in love. She felt better, kept writing, got happy, and I think for a long time she felt she could pull him out of that (I can fix him, no really I can) but still, the blue stayed. I think when she mentions them writing sad songs, her feeling, staying, choosing blue it’s all with the underlaying theme of his depression. “I love you it’s ruining my life” literally tells us that too 😭 she loved him, would have died for him in secret aka chosen a life she hadn’t pictured - like away from audiences for example - if it meant she stayed with him, also want no other shade of blue but you - she had chosen him, and stuck it out, until MY GUESS he did something she couldn’t help but turn away from. That presents her albums so much differently now, and it does lead me to think that folklore and evermore are a lot more true than we originally thought as well.

Laura Bolanos

Sorry I know that was a whole ass essay 😭😂

karis

In DBATC she talks about “paper cuts from our paper thin plans” — the paper cuts are from the paper ring. The ring is paper because the plans are so flimsy and he won’t actually commit and that’s what’s cutting her in a thousand pieces.

Devan

Here I was thinking “I don’t drink tea I will skip ahead… “ 8 minutes later I’m like “hmmm maybe I should go buy some tea and a kettle…”

Liz

Yorkshire Tea really is a superior tea.

jasmine 🇸🇪🌷

besties i simply need you to start a podcast bc i loved your silly tea time and i could just listen to you yap about anythinggg!!!

Heather Wambach

It was such a slay to be there! Even more wild that I had only been listening to her for 6 months. I had never heard Dear John or Daylight until she played them at the Eras Tour and my life was never the same. :)

Julia toniato

do I like tea? No do I watched the whole tutorial? Of course

David

Well....here i am a month later with my first cup 🤣

Becca C

The microwaving water part is so funny 😆 I am American and have definitely done that many times (I don’t drink much tea) but I love herbal teas at night

Rachel Hall

YAAAY! As an avid tea drinker myself(and American) I've seriously been wondering how you ladies take your tea FOREVER lol, THANK YOU! 😅 💓

Wendy Davis

Thanks for the tea lesson. I probably don't like tea because I've been making it all wrong. Can't wait to try your way!

Alicia

Fun fact: When she announced Dear John, the decide meter reached 118. The rest of the concert hovered between 105-118.

Brooke Berger

hiiii coming for the tea tutorial after july 19 germany shows 🥰

Jonathan Riches

as a northen english four cups of tea a day girly you are SO so right and it’s making me respect you both on such a deeper level

Ebru

I’m also here after the Germany shows and I completely agree with the Lipton and Tetley comment. I will try Madura though as I spotted it at the supermarket and thought of you both. I have in the past tried Nerada Chai when Bonnie used to drink that. But Dilmah is my number one choice. We usually brew tea the Turkish way and the extra strength version of Dilmah is the best for that but I use a regular strength when making it in a cup. However, I usually add some whole cloves in there which I remove after the tea has seeped. But if anyone is going to drink Earl Grey, please please please only drink the Dilmah one. None of the others measure up. The Dilmah Earl Grey honestly tastes so different to to any other brand. My choice of milk is Bonsoy. Sooo good!

Ebru

Also, a kettle is used for so many things. It helps speed up making stews if you boil your water before hand. A kettle is a must!

Leigh

As an avid tea drinker from England all your tea opinions are absolutely correct! I did drink tetley for a while when I was younger but it went completely wrong about 10 years back. Now I gravitate to PG

Brooke Berger

i love using the kettle i can’t imagine warming up water in the microwave. whoever does commits a crime

Brooke Berger

i love your recommendations! i love drinking tea but i never want it so bad until i watch bonnie and emily drinking theirs every morning

Ebru

They drink it in such a way and with so much bliss, that they make you want some. It makes such a difference when you end up making a really good cuppa. Hope they get you into drinking tea 🤗

kaitlyn

i am aussie and absolutely do NOT microwave cold water for my tea, but i don't boil the water either (i used to). Instead, my house has an instant hot water tap. So it's a tap that literally only pours out boiling water. Like it's not luke warm, it is actually boiling, and it's the best thing in my house.

brenda 🌸

Thoroughly enjoyed ☕️

Kamis

not me sipping on Tetley watching this 💀😭🙏🏼

Foxy_Tatty

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I just learned that using silverware on honey is not great because it takes away all the good stuff! Thank you for the tea lesson! That was fun! Emily, you remind me so much of my Gemini roommate from back in the day. 🩷 it’s sweet feeling like I’m around my old friend

Ali ❤️‍🔥

I use your tea method every morning!! I use soy milk because oat bothers me. But for any fellow Americans, you can buy the Madura premium blend on Amazon 🤍

Breezy Bumbles

“Who is carrying the egg of the person who will play Taylor Swift in a biopic?” 🤣😂

Laura Mowle

I read that tea leaves scorch at higher temps. If you look at the package it tells you the temp. Scorching it does make it bitter. So you get a kettle that has temps or a thermometer.

Lizzie Johnson

As a British person, I think your tea process is spot on! I did frown a little when the honey got added but now that I've thought on it a bit more, I'm quite interested to go and try that...

Brittany R

American here who is passionate about tea. 🍵 top two favorite: jasmine green tea especially like a jasmine dragon phoenix pearl or lavendar earl grey. Loose leaf is best and yes I make my tea exactly like you guys but drink mine plain. Only use honey if my throat needs it but otherwise straight up! I had an argument w my husband that “making” tea in the microwave is appalling it’s just wrong it’s in accurate!

Jenny Fowler

I just stumbled upon your yea tutorial because I finished the secret song playlist and am moving on to the refathoming collection - and I cannot tell you how many times I have been tempted to ask you how you make your tea. But I never did because I felt stupid. So I am SO EXCITED!!! Currently making my cup and the diving into these. Love you ladies so much!

msjackyx

Besties I know I’m late to the party but I have a small question, what if I’m drinking chamomile tea?
