j🪩

Maggie A

Sam Obrien

A Bonny and Em patreon surprise song reaction!? Oh we are SOOOOO back !!! 💖💖💖😘😘😘

christine

omfg perfect timing i’m about to eat my chipotle to this x

ton

51 minutes!!!!!

Yarn Kay

Eeee!! Tried to avoid spoilers cause I was waiting for this video to see what happened for N2!! Can’t waittt!!

Estelle

Manifesting that somehow the both of you get to see the show again to fathom TTPD live!!!! ✨

Emzies

Oh, thank goodness! Perfect timing as I’m just wrapping up your reaction to last night’s show. Thanks, girlies! 🤍

Julia

I'm a person who doesn't like to pay for anything extras but mannnn I was wrong. It's the best thing I did still catching up on older videos when I can!

Yarn Kay

THANK YOU BESTIES FOR THE VIDEO!! So happy we’re so back!!!

Julia

Perfect way to end my Friday night in Texas! I am delirious over her playing my boy that way! 💙💙💙

Blake D

Where are y’all watching these live streams tho?????

Cameron D’Ettore

MBOBHFT is top 5 on the standard version of TTPD and i’m SO ILL that we lost it so quickly 😭

matt

Emily bringing Bonny a cuppa 🫖🥹💕

Fernanda Loyola

Youtube and tiktok always have some up during the show!

Ben Houtz

Emily thinking Taylor was in a jumpsuit sent me 🤣💕

Jeebs

I'm pretty sure the moving platform system is the same technology used at Disney for the new trackless rides (Rise of the Resistance, Runaway Railway, etc)

Blake D

Omg that back visual is evolving and i am here for it

Maggie A

no same and i’m so excited to go back and watch everything i’ve missed

ton

I love how “the asylum” where they raised her reveals a weeping angel (whovians know)

angel (plnkblue)

To the question of whether or not any new outfit tops one of our favorites from the first half of the tour, I've literally had the username "plnkblue" across multiple platforms for like 6+ years now, so that pink and blue 1989 outfit is literally the best thing I've ever seen and I am obsessed with it fsdfsdfs

Sara Beth

The Down Bad light imprint on the stage from the spaceship being and infinity sign…

Brooke W.

Gotta love how they just stare at each other before “My Boy..” Trying to figure it out! Ha!

Julia

BONNIE AND EM if you see this look up The Cabinet of Dr Calagari 1920s silent horror film the visuals from who's afraid of little old me (the ones I the jail cell) and the crooked hallways behind fortnight are very much like this iconic silent horror film! She has definitely been studying up on iconic historic visuals!

Sarah Magana

I need their tea recipe… looks so good

Becky

Her marching is mimicking Matty’s performance. She does his salute as well.

Blake D

Thank you, you perfect angel

Jeebs

I also think the platform being a mirror is mostly to give the appearance she's floating.

Sam

The intermission into ICDIWABH is sooooo Clara Bow silent film coded!!!

Estelle

This is why I need to hear your thoughts to help me fathom things bc I thought having the platform as a mirror was simply just to help with the illusion of levitation 😂

Mckenzie Seims

The colors being red and yellow on the main screen for but daddy I love him???!! And then transitioning into into So High School, Travis nods???

ton

I love the TTPD story…. Falling in love, being attacked, breaking up, falling apart, pulling it together

Takara

I love that she’s really leaning into her similar to old tour looks with Fearless Speak Now and 1989 🥹🥹 it feels like she’s really following what she said about having rarely toured Europe and giving them a chance to relive those eras!

ton

I’m slightly sad that you’re not getting the close ups of her face during the surprise songs in the streams you’re watching… they’re impressive!

Rachel Bea

The orange and pink body suit for Lover and both of the new Folkmore dresses, especially yellow but also the deep pink are stunning - all my favorite colors!

Gillian

we lost visual of the show at 28 min

ton

Her face when she says he’s gonna miss me is so determined - be great if you get those visuals for the surprise song visuals

Jess

TikTok! An account called Tess Dear, she livestreams every show 🤍

ton

TPD is just the album that keeps giving… I’m so obsessed

Rebecca

She's been working on TTPD set list for 8-9 months! What a gag!

Kelly Prang

Did y'all see they all wore new capes for Willow? They were dark brown or maybe a dark Maroon, shorter than the usual green ones and Taylor's had beading on the front edges.

Emily

WAOLOM is the MOST ICONIC performance ever. Like My Tears Ricochet meets rep but on steroids 🧙🏻 I fear I’m going to levitate myself when I see it!

Jessie

I’m coining the hot pink dress the raspberry dress

Gina Bina

I was about to comment this. It looked almost dark purple to me.

Takara

Did you fathom the drums /marching band are also in the ME! music video!?

ton

YouTube often has better visuals I feel… that’s Taylor Swift hockey bro but there are a few options discussed in the general chat you can find

ton

They actually give it in one of the recen videos… maybe a TTPD preparation one?

Odet M 🩷🩷

Tik Tok just serach eras tour and name of current city and go to live option

Tess7

I absolutely agree that this is her best set ever. Who’s Afraid is the best performance she’s ever done. At least to me. I’m trying to get tickets for New Orleans or Indy…I have to see this live. I’ve watched so many videos of it lol I do not know how she had time to rehearse this while going to football games and being in the studio every city she was in lol. I love the Female Rage era! Great video ladies, thank you for losing sleep to fathom with us!🤍🖤

ton

And all the wristbands go to that as well… chiefs coding everywhere

Caroleigh Heaton

I watched your N1 reaction Thursday night (Friday AM, EDT) when I woke up in the middle of the night, and I loved it so much that then I dreamed you were both actually there... Taylor messaged you that she was so happy you came and COME TO THE STAGE . You got the 22 Hat and it was so beautiful and adorable and perfect!! You shared the Hat, in turn, and there were mega-screen closeups. I was legit crying in my own dream. 😍 Thank you for these reactions! TTPD set is transcendent and I am forever changed. 🤍

ton

8-9 weeks I thought she said which makes sense timewise

ton

The “marching band” actually appears to be her army. The generals coat is all scuffed up because they’ve been through war and they all die at the end

caitlin

yall should do like a favorite lyrics from each album video even if it's not necessarily from your favorite songs

Carly

Lowkey feel like she should've cut Delicate instead of Long Live. Speak Now needs more of a moment. I feel like Delicate is really only there for the 123 LGB moment.

Katie LaFave

it wasn't obvious that she would shorten TTPD songs because she doesn't shorten any of the midnights songs

Katie LaFave

has anyone else fathomed that she shortened cardigan and betty?!

Tess7

I think the moving platform works the same way the Star Wars ride works at Disney World. There are no wheels. A computer probably controls it. Very cool

Emzies

I wonder if Taylor is happy she doesn’t have to worry about getting her arms through the sleeves of her former Acoustic Set dresses. 😄

Katie LaFave

Jan is the guy that's apart of the fortnight performance. him and Kam are the ones that are apart of the transition into i can do it...

Goldbourne Mascal

Do you there will be any touring before she's 39yo⁉️

Mequet

Bitch I live in Tennessee and I had to pause this video because I started noticing colors in the sky and it was fucking auroras! There was something that happened with a corona mass ejection or some shit and I could see auroras in the American south this is crazy!!!! I wish I could show a picture holy shit. I just spent the last 25 minutes with my husband and one of my kids staring up at the sky.

Emily M

And the blue lights flashing in the black/white visuals of down bad also reference the 1975

Catarina Saldivar

You guys NEED to watch Hannah’s Michelle video on TikTok explaining TSMWEL set! It’s WILD I promise you! Her username is _hannahmichelle13

Sebastian

The Fortnight performance is set and corographied to put Post Malone replacing Jan (the dancer) when needed… It is going to happen!

Jentallygirl

This! 👏 Not only do I love Long Live, but I hate the 1 song era… kinda dinky.😜 And Speak Now is NOT dinky, lol… that said, TTPD is the most iconic set ever, omg!! 😻 I’m not actually mad about anything tho, just an opinion… I went in April 2023 and didn’t get LL then either, sooo… 🤷‍♀️😂🙇‍♀️😉🫶

Izzzy Federgreen

I wonder if yall have fathomed that the bed has the ttpd icon in the frame

Jentallygirl

She’s so productive, it’s an art… 😉

hauntedwillow27

i love ur eras reactions sm i missed this era

Laura Gallan

Her scream belt in Who’s Afraid has sooo much clarity and warmth but screechy at the same time. THIS TOUR!!! THIS ART!! THIS WOMAN!

Jentallygirl

Yes!! I think it’s to be able to coordinate with other colors now.

Katie LaFave

i just love seeing how happy she is after playing these surprise songs. like yesterday after performing loml one of the saddest songs on the album, she was smiling so big!! i'm so glad she's happy! so different to how she was feeling a year ago

Gordon Werner

Has anyone bought any of the merch with the new Eras Tour Logo yet?

kRiStAvAnG

The bridge to My Boy always reminds me of the bridge to Getaway Car. They would mesh so well together.

Jessie

She said she wrote MBOBHFT on piano so I LOVE THIS

Shona Marks

I saw a video where they compared the ttpd marching band looks to the Lover song ME dancers but in white instead of the pastel colours??? Love to hear peoples thoughts???

ton

That’s amazing. I saw them in Norway it’s amazing!

Julie T

There’s a video of Matty Healy doing the exact same march and solute move too in his shows

Jenny M

It would be Iconic if The Anthology had it's own set.

ton

PS I’m jealous of your curls Bonnie

kienan

When Bon was talking about everything in black and white being exclusive to TTPD except tolerate it... I realized that it makes so much sense for her to remove tolerate it (even though it was soooo iconic) because she's not just being tolerated anymore!!!!! travvy loves her! full throttle!!!

Kasey

I bought the black tshirt!

Jenna Bolmgren

As a Mpls N1 girlie who was surprised with Miami tickets a few weeks ago (TTPD release weekend, before we knew if we were getting the new set), I try not to be entitled to ANYTHING Taylor gives or doesn’t give us, but I am devastated to miss Long Live AGAIN. 😭

Austin Smith

BESTIES I’ll be at the London show on August 19th! I would die to see yall there! Manifesting tickets for you 🫶

Kasey

I have heard about this!!! I so wish you could upload pics too! I’m in Oklahoma and can’t see anything.

Sarah Magana

omg of course they would have a full tutorial on this😂 thank you!!

Alexis

I’ll also add that I really do see the Fortnight performance to be a spiritual successor to the Tolerate It performance. It’s like the story progressed.

Alexis

Omg. I’d love that!

Alexis

It’s iconic. Enjoy that video! 😂

Mequet

I just posted a picture in the chat here on patreon if you want to take a look! You can only upload one at a time and I don’t want to flood it with my pics so I only posted one. So cool!!!

Alexis

Welcome! The girlies really bless us with so much more content here than just the YouTube videos.

Alexis

Besties, you two NEED to get to a London show. We all have to manifest with you. 🤞🏽🫶🏽

Katie LaFave

at the end of the day the eras tour then and now caters equally towards casual and die hard fans. casual fans don't know folklore, evermore, or even midnights with the exception of antihero. they do know red, 1989, and rep

Zosia Dabrowski

I don't know if you guys have exactly fathomed that in WAOLOM the moving platform is a mirror the visuals around it to make it look see-through so it looks like she's LEVITATING DOWN YOUR STREET

Julie T

I feel like the storytelling/performance art is also mirroring the style of a 1975 show

EW

The green wicked witch colors in who's afraid of little old me match up great with the other wizard of oz references like the coward who claimed he was a lion. Love that.

Laura Gallan

I agree I love this set and I enjoy the format better now. I found it weird that folklore and evermore weren’t together prior. I am forever grateful though that I got to see the original because I love Long Live and Tis the damn season beyond comprehension!!!!!!!

Vanessa

Everytime I see the little old me part of the set the dancers just give me marching band haha which goes with smallest man I guess. But their synchronized backwards walking and moving is so marching band 😂🥁

Sam

How do I see this tour at the beginning in the US and at the end in the UK and miss long live twice? lmfao

Haley Haas

I love that she’s was wearing a blue dress while singing “is it over now” (blue dress on a boat) 💙🤩

Meghan Carty

She said months. I'm assuming it would take much more than 8-9 weeks to make all the costumes, the visuals, the props, the moving stage platform, etc.

Meghan Carty

One of the nights I saw the show in New Jersey, my seat was to the side of the stage, basically next to the screen, so we couldn't see anything that happened close to screen, which included Tolerate It and TLGAD (and anything with the cabin), and there were people with seats even further behind the screen than ours. I think it's great that the TTPD set utilizes the entire stage and is so dynamic so everyone can see it basically the whole time! I have a feeling that was intentional.

Amy Versprille

I think I heard they were filming so I believe she will release a new version of the Eras movie. I think the Tshirt that said this is not Taylor’s version- well the movie was called Taylor’s version. So I think there will be another variation of the movie that includes TTPD.

Carly

DINKY LMAOOO!! And neither not mad about the setlist just fun to think about the possible combinations!

Maegan Salazar

Im so glad you watched today! As i was watching the live i thought of you both and the visuals! It was such a good angle! Anyways love your takes!

hauntedwillow27

also the mirrors on the levitating platform are to make it look like u can see through it so it looks like she’s literally floating with no platform

Nathalia

The music playing while she is getting ready for I Can Do It With a Broken Heart is actually that song in that jazzy version

Grace

for real😭😭

Jasmine

I think the brighter outfits are showing she’s moved on, she’s happy! Let’s do thisssss!

Jennifer Lopez

Someone on twitter said that when they have the feathers and pick her up that’s it’s giving moulin rouge vibes

Julia Archibald

I am blown away at how much I’m loving this set. It’s so good!!

Christina

THANK YOU SCOTT, FOR THE LONDON TIX? thank you, (Father) Scott for the tickets. (Manifesting for you)

Hannah

I bought the beige hoodie!

Aloha Record Sargent

Yes! And there are also multiple references to Travis' touchdown celebration dances. Kam does one and then Taylor does one at the end.

JoyR

My take on initially separating folklore and evermore sets is because they allowed a “rest” or “breather” set in between the high energy sets. Plus if she had combined them in the beginning it would be so long with a slower sound. The shorter versions combined are now perfect!

The Renn Domino Experiment

Yes! I'm thinking it might be something simple like The European Tour. But Taylor thinks much more creativily than I do.

Marina Barron

Also the infinity during down bad!!!

Mary Cousins

The moving stage (Down Bad) makes the figure 8 of infinity. It signifies the concept of limitlessness or eternity, especially as used notationally in mathematics and metaphorically with respect to love. (Wiki)

Annika 📍Melb, AU

The fact that you just happen to have a wedding to go to in Europe seems like divine intervention. Tickets will happen for you for sure! 😍 Maybe Taylor Nation will reach out to you. There are rumours they flew Chris in.

Jay

Do you think now that she cut tolerate it she will do it in the acoustic set? I would love that version! Or any of the other cut songs!

nicole

The TTPD visuals/concept just still hasn’t quite clicked for me and I wish I could fathom it. I love the covers and the photoshoot, it’s so moody and intimate, but then I don’t know how that really works in with the rest of everything because that’s the only time we’ve seen that vibe. I also get the highway imagery from Fortnight and the mentions on the album, but I don’t really see that at all with BDILH or the original shoot. Then obviously the old Hollywood for Clara Bow in ICDIWABH, but how does that really work in with the cover and highway imagery. It’s just all not connecting for me right now and I SO badly want to get it. I hope some more visuals from a few more MV’s help it feel more cohesive for me.

marissa

Would’ve loved to have kept long live and add in castles crumbling with Hayley 😭 anything to make that set longer and see them on stage together 😔 Side note: loving the natural curly hair bonnie! ☺️

Kylee Newberry

The road imagery reminds me of the Texas highway reference in I can fix him.

Jillian Landers

Their breakdowns about the visuals are just brilliant and everybody in the comments here are so knowledgeable and kind! Grateful for this hilarious positive space because X/Twitter is just not my cup of tea these days but I still want allllll the details.

Kristi Noriega

Begging you girls to react to all the easter eggs in the so high school performance 🥹 there’s some videos on tiktok with the compilation. So many little details!

Gordon Werner

That’s the one I got … I hope we’ll get a white one at some point

Cla

manifesting bestieee

Sarah K Heeter

There is so much to fathom and I get that but CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE ORANGE DOOR? and she's wearing so much orange the past two days!! what DOES IT MEAN??

Hollie

It is definitely the superior set list. There are no bathroom break songs.🙈

Alexis

Omg. And with the intro added. That would be offensive.

Kaysen Houston

The mirror on the platform I’m pretty sure is so the floor can reflect on it, trying to make it an optical illusion of her floating!

Brittany Diamond

The mirror on the moving lift is an old theater trick--not only does it reflect the stage graphics without having to put screens all over it, but at the right angle it's meant to create the illusion that she's actually floating. In this case it's not meant to be perfect, just give an overall sense, but it's still unbelievably cool.

Lan

Omg I'm going to the 8.15 show in London! Hope to see you girlies there!!!

Juliette

I was there yesterday oh my god i was soooo happy !!! I knew ttpd was coming in and had been made aware of the new songs but didnt spoil myself the visuals and O M G !! i had seen the manuscript dress very quickly without wanting to but apart from that nothing and woo blown away. Surprise songs were so soooo goood omg, My boy was not one of my favs of the albums, i liked it but i had others song above it that i was praying for but actually so happy i got that one cause it was amazing on the piano oh lord new fav. SO sad its over ahhh how do you move on

Scott

I think maybe, since she was moved You Belong With Me to acoustic set during The Red Tour (which was cut from the set list after North American leg (except shows in London))

Rachel Gresser

Ahhh I’m in London in June! Would have loved to see you 🥰🥰🥰 (As a fan living far from anywhere you’ve been 🙃)

Ali ❤️‍🔥

Girls!! The audience doing backup vocals for My Boy “cause he loves me” made me actually cry in the middle of my american work day

Ali ❤️‍🔥

Girls!!! The crowd singing backing vocals on My Boy “cause he loves me” made me fully sob on the middle of work!

Beatrix P

The stained glass windows on the stage during But Daddy 🤯

Beatrix P

Also I saw someone say that the road during But Daddy leads to an orange colour over the mountains? More orange clowning

jasmine 🇸🇪🌷

my mind is blown after seeing clear visuals of the ttpd set!! omg!!!! it’s the best performance i’ve ever seen!! i do still mourn the loss of long live, i understand the cuts but i’m so jealous of everyone who got to see it especially since i missed it with just one week 😭

Ali ❤️‍🔥

I 10000% agree, it’s upsetting to say goodbye to the individual eras for folklore and evermore. BUT TTPD is sooo theatrical and I totally understand the choice Taylor had to make. I also understand what you both say about the songs for the fans, bc long live has a much larger impact for long time fans than other songs on the setlist like WANGBT. I think the visuals on TTPD are SUPERIOR!! So it’s all worth it! Thank you both for being such positive lights in this fandom. We love you!!!!!

Annika 📍Melb, AU

I was just thinking about how if Taylor wanted to cut Long Live that meant she couldn’t ADD Castles Crumbling even if she wanted to because the narrative would be Long Live was REPLACED. And I think the uproar for that would have been worse. So it’s a smart decision not to have it on the setlist while Paramore is opening!

Audrey

Answering Emily’s question to Bonny about any new outfits topping my og fave outfits and for me, yes! The Paris N1 speak now dress dethroned my favorite (og pink sparkly)!! The way the glitter like cascades down the dress and the fact that it looks strapless (but I don’t think it is)..GORGEOUS

Annika 📍Melb, AU

Can we talk about how the only thing stopping me from jumping on a plane from Melbourne to Europe to see this tour again is that there is no guarantee my ticket would be legitimate. 😂😭😍 Never mind that I don’t actually have a spare $5K+ in travel and ticket expenses (probably more I have no idea how much resale tickets and plane tickets are these days) - but I would have figured out the money. Unhinged behaviour. 😂😭

Andrew

Fun fact, I saw a video on instagram that showed that part of the choreography for So High School, are the dances Travis does on the field during games.

Lin Gill

I feel the same. I missed Long Live too. My show was in Florida before she added it to the setlist. I almost got tickets to the upcoming Miami show to see Long Live, but now I'm kind of glad I didn't get them yet, because I would have missed it again. I wish she would have cut Marjorie, because it's such a sad song. I know it's special to TS because of her grandmother, but Long Live is much more of a crowd favorite. It's iconic.

Lolotte

I was there at N2 in Paris ! So weird to see a reaction of you guys at something i witnessed live ! This was amazing, that was my first TS concert and i cried a lot ! The surprises songs was incredibles ! My Boy is my favorite song on TTPD so.... feels like dreaming 😭

Seán

If you come to London a meet up would be so nice for the UK besties !!!

emma

I completely agree, maybe cut I knew you were trouble and bring back long live. Long live is one of my favourite Taylor songs so gutted when I saw it was cut. BUT I’m soooooo excited to see ttpd…it’s the most iconic set ever

chatsandreacts

Yes! We bought the white crewneck and the grey jumper with the colourful logo on the front!

E ✨🩷

i think the box during the ttpd set is mirrored because it helps to disguise it a bit more so it really looks like she’s flying around :)

E ✨🩷

also Nikki King on tiktok fathomed that during down bad when she’s on the platform it creates and infinity symbol which reflects the easter egg from the man video with the album names on the wall and the infinity symbol being the order that the TV albums were released ♾️

Bailey

BONNIE’S HAIR IS SO CUTEEEE!!!!!

Renata

During Down bad performance, she is doing the infinity symbol on the stage, which relates to “theory” of the man on the wall…reputation is next. 🥰🥰🥰

Mary-Lou Boucherit

I was there with my sister and a friend and it was amazing ! We could avoid all the the spoilers so the surprise of the new set, the secret songs everything ! It was incredible :D

rosie

ahh I'm going to the london show on the 17th !!!! would be so cool if you guys were there 🥲

rosie

yes !!!!

Jasmin

The tilted stage does remind me of LWYMMD or am i reaching

Connie Forrest

I agree with you on folkmore - I kind of hope one day she’ll tour them in a smaller way, without any big performances, just in a more acoustic way…? Probably not but a girl can dream haha!

Malin Wallin

Can't beive I'm watching this in a week! As someone living in a country where Taylor has never toured before, I feel a bit devestated about long live, but getting to see the TTPD set might patch up that hole!

Jaana

I’m still manifesting you girls being able to attend one of the European shows. I have absolutely no idea how that would happen since I haven’t taken Travis’ manifesting course but I just wanna put it out in the universe.

Miss T

I feel like the showgirl/hollywood theme for I Can Do It With A Broken Heart should’ve been obvious to me when the feather fans and canes were in the preview fortnight video (I’m a cabaret/showgirl dancer). But it also fits in with Clara Bow being in Hollywood too which is cool.

Katie K

Manifesting you getting London tickets girls!! If I hear of anyone selling tickets I’ll point them in your direction. I’m going in both June and August and am SO excited!! My outfits are starting to come together and I’m making friendship bracelets 🤩✨🫶🏻✨

Bec P

the infinity symbol she draws during down bad!!!! this woman is just teasing us

Josie Bicknelle

I think the platform in WAOLOM is simply for visual effects reasons - the reflections help it make it look like she’s floating, this is a common trick used to try and make a platform almost ‘invisible’ when viewing it at different points in the stadium

matteo.spezzano

I’m going to the London shows in August!!! Please girls let us know if you get to go it would be so heart melting to meet you❤️❤️❤️❤️

esther ferguson

i was also there for the ILLEGAL getaway car/august/ootd mashup!!

Jordan Bush

Guys I think she got her color back. All the outfits are so bright. I think she remembered how bright the colors can be. It’s so beautiful to think about😭

Antonia Hayes

I’m going to the August 17 London show! Hope to see Emily and Bonny there! I’ve lived in the UK for the past eight years but I’m from Sydney and your videos make me feel less homesick ❤️🐨❤️

Caroline Pvt

I was there for Paris N2, still not recovered! I’ve stayed away from social networks during N1 to live the whol experience and it was unbelievable! French swifties have been fed with Tay!

Svea Klein

Also in the smallest man who ever lived at the back of the stage one dancer is waving the white flag even before she got shot the first time. And she is still going into the war

Laura Stimpfl

I just noticed tha, in the little jazz break they do when they change her, they're playing a jazz variation of I can do it with a broken heart! You can clearly hear the "I cry a lot but I am so productive" melody 😍

Lefty

I thought it was interesting she played Is It Over Now with My Boy, because I've always thought that the second half of the chorus sounds like the bridge in Is It Over Now. The production and the way she sings it feels kind of similar "'Cause I knew too much, there was danger in the heat of my touch He saw forever so he smashed it up" "At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight Only rumours 'bout my hips and thighs And my whispered sighs, oh lord"

elli

I 100% agree that this is the superior version of the tour. I just wish she kept Long Live. I'm struggling to understand why she removed it, like it's ONE song that means so much to so many fans. And keeping it in wouldn't prolong the show THAT much, like I doubt it would be longer than the longest show from last year. But I'm glad we have the movie version at least.

Cassidy

“🎶 tee hee, I have new songs to sing, I have new skirt to swing 🎶 “ 😅

Erica

bad blood could also be cut and i think no one would complain ahah, im personally bitter about tolerate it 🥲

Heidi

and you know what, she wore black ttpd shoes in the rehearsal youtube short sooo is there a black version? or were they just rehearsal shoes cause white ones get dirty easily? but if she has them she may as well use them right? 😏

helenakellly

have the two of you already read/talked about her conversation with paul mccartney? they talk about the selection of songs for tours and how choosing the songs that please the masses are at times more important than they ones they want to perform. it goes into a lot more detail but i thought it was pretty insightful. might be an interesting read!

paulina

I think people are going back to the ,The Man Wall‘ with the infinity sign

Dannele

I agree with your thoughts on Long Live! I’m still surprised that Speak Now doesn’t have at least one more song (for a total of 3 with LL), since that was such a pivotal album with her being the only songwriter. Like the “third” song could be a mashup of Ours/Mine??

Faustine L

I was there too! Just happy to see fellow Paris N2 swifties 😆 I also avoided socials after N1, it was incredible 🤍

Susan

London 15th of August. Cannot wait

Steven Hanley

Full agreement with Em and Bonny at 11:30 or so, But Daddy I love Him is I think the best song on the album, just amazing lyrics and sounds

💯

She makes an infinity symbol with downbad space ship??

Kirstine Eklund

As someone who is truly mourning Long Live, thank you for validating my small hurt feelings haha. I am seeing her in a week, and I can’t wait to see TPD, but like you guys say: losing the fan songs, especially Long Live, but also The Archer and Folklore/Evermore songs, hits a bit hard. But still SO excited

Leila

Oh thats so cool you do that✨ yes i hadn't considered it either but seems so obvious now! 👯‍♀️

Inês Melo

Thank you for standing for Long Live 💜

Mae Lonsdale

I have just fathomed that the lights in but daddy i love him are blue and red until the last chorus when they're red and YELLOW !!!! as in chiefs !!!!

chel

Seeing taylor for the first time june 23rd, soooo unbelievably excited !!!!!!

Clarissa

I'm seeing her on 15th August so if you get tickets for that night Hopefully will get to say hi! It's my first time seeing her live, so I am like a hyper puppy with anticipation. My outfit theme is Speak Now era, and I am gutted long live has been cut as its one of my top 20 songs of hers (i did that quiz you guys did a few weeks back) and I have a tattoo I'm planning to get based around it 🥲

Audrey Iocca

Justice for the North American cities who also never got to see Long Live until she added it after TV came out

Becca C

When you said “she says nothing during midnights” I fathomed that might have been because she really couldnt tell us any of it when the tour was being planned: like "hey guys, i wrote this one about being on the verge of leaving joe " wouldnt have worked 🙃

Lena Stein

Did you guys see that at "I can do it with a broken heart" Kam gets another bit with saying "One, two, three, four" but in French! I guess they'll switch it to the language whatever country they'll be in which is so exciting as a European swiftie!!!

Jasna

I'm manefasting Europe tickets as well ... so if someone is sellinggggg .🤗🤍🖤🤍🤍🖤❤️

forevermore

Yes I wanna see them discuss this too!

The Renn Domino Experiment

It makes sense that if Taylor was going to add a new era, now would be the time to make changes. Will she make more changes as the tour winds down? Only Taylor knows. She is a tricky one.

Becca C

Also my new favorite swiftie thing is people calling that moving platform a “roomba” 😂 and apparently she is magnetized to it ? She has a magnet in her dress

Jaimie C

i'm going in November and sooooooo excited to see the TTPD set...my tiny wish is that she brings back 'tis the damn season cuz it'll be winter here 🎄❄️, my fear is that she changes TTPD 😨, tho it'll be my first time ever seeing her so i'm down for whatever she does cuz it will be iconic 🤩

Sarah

I’m seeing Taylor in Liverpool. So excited! I have only seen her once before, for 1989! I am really disappointed about Long Live but the Tortured Poets set just looks amazing.

Izzzy Federgreen

Hoping Scott sees this and invites you to a tour date again

Karen Valentino

Loving your coverage of TTPD! Thank you so much! 😍

Marissa Killpack

You mentioned she got rid of long live and added but daddy I love him - I agree with this energy getting rid of long live and the archer two "I Stan with you moment songs" gone now shes basically calling us out but daddy I love him and I can do it with a broken heart. It's deeply concerning. All I think about is how upset she was with the fans while the Matty Healy stuff was going down and she had to keep singing long live and she probably felt it deep in her bones every single time. I hope the people who did that have learned.

Dori McDowell

Think Tolerate It was intentionally removed to indicate the Joever era ended, replaced with new Fortnight/Matty Healy'coded repping that once new love interest she's dealing with ending. Then que new early baby Travis coded era. No Joe in this TTPD set. He'll get surprise songs at best. LoL

Sandy Zhu

Anyone knows why the levitating platform drew an infinite ♾️ sign during Down Bad? Is it any special symbol to her like 13 ?

Joseph Laurite

I saw someone say that she is literally acting in a silent film before icdiwabh like clara bow!

Johanna M

The road visuals during the TTPD set, are they maybe referring to the lyric of "the road not taken, looks real good now" from 'tis the damn season? As in, the relationship with Matty that never really blossomed in 2014, and therefore questions were still not fully answered or roads not taken? Or is it a runway, alluding to flying off into space with a spacecraft as in Down Bad? Now that I have watched more of the video, I like Em's and Bonny's idea oof the dead end road!! Woah!

Ashley

The war imagery during smallest man! And her getting shot TWICE!!

Rsvee

I was there too, I got tickets super last minute! It was so amazing to experience the TTPD section for the first time ever!! Still not recovered, Taylor is so talented, I couldn't believe my ears and eyes. It was incredible. And the surprise songs were more than I could have ever wished for! I hope you both enjoyed the night as much as I did.

Ben

the raised seats and stained glass windows in but daddy i love him remind me of a court house and the dancers are judging her

Rsvee

I was at Paris N2 yesterday and it was amazing. The TTPD set is incredible live, it truly exceeds expectations and will make up for it I am sure!!

Rsvee

Same!! Yesterday was my first TS concert as well and My Boy is also my fav on TTPD and Is it over now and OOTW my fav on 1989... a dream come true!!! I cried a lot as well haha. Hope you had a wonderful night

Green Wolf Gaymer

TSMWEL: When she sings "They just ghosted you." The visuals how the silhouette of the man disappearing and her silhouettetries to hug him. He literally ghosts her.

Janelle Keller

Dear Em and Bon, please consider going to a show in Europe, I seriously need this for both of you!! You must see this with your own eyeballs 😁♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Caroline Pvt

Yes!!! I didn’t expect such surprise songs for N2, it was such an experience from start to end

Lauren.K

I’m looking for UK tickets for June/July/august too!! Fingers crossed for all of us🤞🤞💖

Jessica

That photo of the pink folklore dress is an edit, the actual new dress is more red

Ashley

The first leg of the tour was super folklore evermore heavy; it was her new albums then— she now has toured them for a year and Europe gets ttpd! I think it’s fair she had so many folkmore songs at first

Joe Weaver

Totally with you on Long Live. It should be there but all of the other cuts make sense to me. This is the "Eras" tour, all of her biggest hits are going to be performed. Not sure what to tell anybody that doesn't understand that. This is the first time a lot of people are seeing a lot of these songs live cause she's got so many new fans & she had not toured since reputation.

Kristen G

The road imagery is VERY much giving "on a six lane Texas highway" and Florida!!! vibes. I just took a road trip to Dallas, Texas, THE DAY TTPD dropped and gagged when she said the Texas highway lyric. Y'all are SOOO right, it's very Americana Road Trip/Traveling because we have stretches of NOTHING extremely reminiscent of the Fortnight road!! omg she is truly a genius. This was almost toooooo ICONICCCCCCCCC!! love you, besties!!!! can't wait for night 3!! #realtoughkid

Kristen G

I LOVE the stained glass windows...I feel like it's also a Female Rage Fuck You to John Mayer as well. In WCS "stained glass windows in my mind, i regret you all the time" annnnd her 22 shirt the next night was a fuck you to Jake with the IBYTAM lol! Maybe her 1989 costume changes were a fuck you to Harry? lmao! Either way, SUPERIOR!!!!!!!! love love love you both!

Ellen Blair

The fact the TTPD set is SO high production and probably required so much rehearsal time. Yet she manages to predict all the fan favorites ahead of time is wild!!

River

I just fathomed this when I watched today's video. It's very much aligned with the song, feeling like she was going to be down bad forever

River

So many great comments about details from the TTPD set. I wanted to add that in WAOLOM when the background zooms into her in the attic/jail type setting, to me it looks like she is a statue crumbling, like "even statues crumble if they're made to wait" from The Prophecy.

Laura

Totally!! Waiting for him to nail Swiss German 😜

lizzy

I'm still hoping for black and lace anc corset and victorian era iterations of the TTPD dress!!!

Nicole

The Roadvisuals (to me) is also giving "take me to florida" or "dopamine races through his brain on a 6-lane texas Highway", as well as the barren landscape almost a little bit of like....moon surface vibes in the surroundings

Grishaa

I was PRAYINGGG for you to notice that she’s drawing an infinity sign during down baddd!!! It’s a reference to the man wall because we clowned that the album names make an infinity sign and the karma thing is in the middle. I thought she wanted us to stop clowning for karma but looks like she doesn’t after all😭

Grishaa

I was there, to me it looked very pink. I wasn’t that close but on the screens it definitely looked pink

Elvira✨

I’m going to two shows in London in August, praying that you’ll get tickets and that maybe that there could be a meet up similar to what you’ve had before. That’d be so so much fun to!!

Jeejay

In WAOLOM the moving mirror platform is cut in an acute angle adjacent to the floor so it would reflect the effects on the floor and would make her look like she is levitating

The Tangerine

I love how every time the midnights set transition is happening emily always sing the lavender haze intro lol SOUNDS SO GOOD!

Victoria

I have tickets for Toronto in November. I am sooo upset about Long Live. As someone who has never seen Taylor live, I have always wanted to see Long Live. I love TTPD set, it's amazing, but losing Long Live and Tolerate It :(

Jodi L

The house represents “the mad woman in the attic” by Jane Austin 🫶

Julieta

I was thereeeee! Finally my turnnnn :)))

Jodi L

Girlies, you realize in The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived set is her mocking Matty & his performance with the nazi salute! 🫡 Also, the bit where they are dressing her? Matty has this in his set! But it also gives Clara Bow & what you girlies said about the broken doll! 🫶♥️

Jodi L

How do you girlies sing so beautifully??????

Kristen G

her platform is giving mirrorball…HELP!!!!!!!

Charlotte Irene

The part where they are dressing her on stage makes me think of how she would have felt last year, after the break-up(s), any time she was “off-stage”. So essentially, as she is doing an on-stage outfit change in Eras II Tour, she is showing us how she felt like a broken, lifeless doll anytime she wasn’t performing. As soon as she gets the microphone and is in the spotlight again, she is back in character “having the time of her life”. So clever!!

Jodi L

Yes!!!! I just rewatched after these girls pointed out she was shot twice! So essentially she was dying/broken & then what you said…. But! You need to see a side by side of Matty doing this on stage to a TEE! It’s insane! So she told a story but she also trolled him! She is agenius!

Jodi L

Do we think she is doing more red with Lover & Folklore as a shout out to Travis/Chiefs colors?

Jessica

Yeah I know, it was a bit hard to tell whether it’s pink or red. I’m just saying how that photo is actually an edit someone made

Charlotte Irene

Blue and red as in UK flag colors, and then red and yellow as she transitions to So High School 😍

Kayy

I love how during whos afraid of little old me when she sings “I was tame I was gentle til the circus life made me mean” the way that she’s holding on to the pole and dancing makes it look likes she’s a wild animal chained to that pole bc she’s too dangerous

Charlotte Irene

And now I truly need a streaming Down Bad/Fortnight mashup, because “I love you, it’s ruining my life. I touched you for only a fortnight.” set to Down Bad is playing in an infinite loop in my head.

Charlotte Irene

I did see that! Also the “touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto” hand movement… but that one must be coincidence, because I have no doubt about who So High School is about 😆

Caroline

I think she might have taken away Long Live because she is kind of angry about how some of her fans invaded her relationship with Matty? So, in place of long live is Daddy I Love Him?🥴Maybe???

Laura Dent

Yes and there are THREE of them. What does that meeaannn?? Potentially he ghosted 3 times? There was actually 3 very short relationships with Matty?

nicole

I think the conclusion I’ve come to is that the previous V1 of the tour is the more superior version as a whole, because it was so meticulously planned and it’s how it was intended to be. BUT the TTPD set (maybe other than Rep) is the most superior set. I just think as a whole now V2 feels very rushed and an amalgamation of how the concert was supposed to be. So in an ideal world, TTPD would have just been slotted in the concert with no other changes. That just isn’t realistic though, for Taylor or fans attending.

Emily Hopkins

Noooooo come to the June shows cos I would I would be such a happy egg to meet you both 😭😭❤️

Katie Regan

Maybe TTPD road is "the road not taken looks real good now"

e.

also the chairs and furniture that come down from the sky with the ttpd transition are soo reminiscent of the stage design of the 1975 show which is basically just a black and white room

Sara Brannon

Have you noticed how Kam counts in French during ICDIWABH? So fun!

Charlotte Nixon

WAIT WHY DID WE NEVER DISCUSS TAYLORS ROGUE POSTING OF SYDNEY N3 IIONxIWYW?!!!

Laura Blake

I’m deeply concerned about it being the historic Route 66 in the U.S. 🐍

Laura Blake

I think it’s reflecting the audience which is just…chef’s kiss

Laura Blake

Regarding the road, look up Route 66 in the U.S.

Kristen G

100% “i can show you every version of yourself tonight” good, bad, ugly. mean, loving, judgemental, etc.

Sleepymoo

The silhouette in the house at the back during Who’s Afraid… is very madwoman in the attic

Chloe

The road imagery makes me think of 2 things: route 66 highway to hell and the connotations around that, also “the road not taken”

Tara Ludwig

While I also love Long Live, and am sad it's cut, I feel that she probably cut it because back to back with Enchanted, they have similar energy, and it slows the pace of that section of the concert. I personally felt that a one song ERA was odd and was happy when she added it in. Plus, if she could do that, then why didn't Debut have at least one song. Why skip that entire ERA? Additional considerations for the cut of Long Live (to get back on topic) are that she can't really move more than her arms in that ballgown, and she pulls the band and backup singers to the stage for just Long Live, then send them back to their places is kinda weird. IDK, you were there in person, maybe it wasn't really.

Emily Lorence

I had a baby 9 months ago. Crazy she’s been planning TTPD for the set list for the same time my daughter’s been alive.

Tara Ludwig

Also question for all of us here, any theories why the reputation set continues to have the same costume? I feel like she's making a statement, but I can't figure out what it is. I mean if she just loves that bodysuit with the one cut out leg and arm, she could switch up colors. But look at Lover and Midnights bodysuits, while each era's costume is essentially the same, she has several variations on the theme, but not rep. It always the same. WHY???

Laura Blake

I saw a tiktok where the person connected this to the LWYMMD music video where she cuts off the left wing of the plane. The video intro in the concert shows two full legs, so…I imagine now that will be the change when she’s released TV and reclaimed her Rep.

seefany

Also love how the wrist bands in the crowds extend out from both sides during "But Daddy I Love Him"!!!

Brittany Diamond

I believe it's because the situation makes it impossible for her to change. The intro video has her in the body suit so she has to start with it (no other intro/transition has this problem), the design makes it impossible to do a quick change during the set, and there's nothing you could put over it that would make sense or look good. If she does change it for a rep tv announcement she'll have to change the intro video (which we now know she's willing to do).

angel (plnkblue)

I agree with the comment about the visual intro aspect, and also the fact that her dancers match her red Rep suit, but at the same time, I can also see that being a moot point, as we've seen her change up her stage projections for the dive when she's wearing different secret song dress colors, and we see all of her dancers change their ballet outfits to match whatever dress she wears during Enchanted. The only reason I could see the visuals being an issue is that because they appear before she does, they technically would spoil the outfit reveal. But her changing the video entirely is also very much a possibility, too. Ultimately, I think she knows just how demanding the fans are for Rep TV, and also the connotation and context in which the original album was released. I feel like she's treating the outfit like she treated the Rep-coded red herrings of the TTPD promotional rollout. She's going to be baiting and edging fans for a whiiiile until its time to actually announce Rep TV, because that means the excitement for when it finally does happen all the more intense. Especially because there's no way she *doesn't* know about the conversation and jokes fans have made in regards to Rep's singular tour outfit. No, she's just biding her time. And if we don't get a new outfit when she announces it? Then I think that's her leaning back into the "there will be no explanation, just Reputation" tease from the original release. There will be no premeditation, no outfit proclamation, just Reputation (Taylor's Version). And then afterwards, once we have the story and context, we get something new.

Jaimi Carter

The outfit in the intro is actually different than the one she wears. I’ve always wondered if she will wear the one in the intro video when she releases rep tv.

isabel

the fact that in down bad shes created the ALIEN CROP CIRCLES AS WELL on the stage like when they drop her back off in the field in her hometown!! so wild

Alexandru Stoica

Been there for Night 2! I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED! I WENT IN SPOILER FREE I DIED DEAD RIP ME! 🥺

Julia G

The visuals are from a black and white movie. Silent film The Cabinet of Dr Calagari. It was remade in 1989!!!!

Fahmeen

i don’t get this though. how are you gonna give an f you to the fans who are spending thousands of dollars to be at your shows. I doubt most of these people at the shows were the ones talking about the relationship. a little disrespectful 😭 and honestly most of the people talking about matty were POC swifties. Not Sarah’s and Hannah’s clutching their pearls. I doubt they’re the ones that cared lol

Fahmeen

yes! and there was a similar theme in the fortnight music video

Fahmeen

i don’t get this though. how are you gonna give an f you to the fans who are spending thousands of dollars to be at your shows.

Marissa Killpack

Idk a lot of my friends who are Swifties were heavily shitting on the relationship when it was happening not online just in person because I am a 1975 fan so we talked about it, I think you would be surprised on how many fans actually took part in it.

Madison McIntosh

Did you fathom how the marching band is a death march?

Madison McIntosh

And the white flags imagery. Great War coded

Ashleigh McNamee

I’m sorry the lover house just falls forward like it’s a 2D set prop or something? Like it was just a flimsy facade not a real house???

Antonia

I am going to two shows in Stockholm, and I am dying to see the TTOD set! However, I lost almost all of the songs I was most looking forward to: Long live, toletare it, the one 🥲

Tess7

The 22 shirt that says This is NOT Taylor’s Version was telling us the tour was changing - since she called that last version with all the songs added back in, Taylor’s Version of the eras tour movie 🍿 🙂

Tara Ludwig

So, how was it live? I hope you had great seats.

Antonia

The show was amazing 🤩🤩 We had really great seats both nights (seated) 🥳

Jenna Bolmgren

I’m rewatching this in 8/24 and am SO thankful that you stopped chatting so much during surprise songs 🙌

Ali ❤️‍🔥

Hi from August 12!!!!! Bonny Easter egging us with Showgirl ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Steph

Bonny mentioning showgirl and Emily mentioning the 3 song mash up that hinted at the showgirl release date 😭🤯
