WHaT is her beef with The Way I Loved You?

imogen

Your cardigans!!!

Austin Smith

I’m so glad I got a cardigan 🤍

Jade

Yay!!!!!! I missed you! 😃 you two are the next best thing to the Queen of Female Rage herself

Takara

Fellow TWILY fan also 🥲🥲🥲

maya zutra

Last time she did hey Stephen was that show when matty came on stage with boygenius 🧍‍♂️

Matthew H

I was just at the show and died when she played Maroon 🙈 that was my favorite secret song

kienan

SUCH a valid question. We the people need and deserve The Way I Loved You. I’m also so sorry to speculate but it’s very curious that she sang Hey Stephen (Matty’s fav TS song) right after TTPD and then sang Maroon (will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon) 😵‍💫

kienan

Also… the cardigans! Ahhhhhh 🤩😍🤍

Andrew

Some things that have popped up lately, Smallest man performance is mocking Matty, ICDIWABH has a bunch of moves from other parts of the show, and SoHigh School has a bunch of Travis’ on field moves

Amy

Even though these aren’t TTPD songs they still have a Matty theme as Hey Stephen is his favorite song of Taylor’s and I don’t really need to explain maroon at this point 😂 but yeah what is her problem with the way I love you?? It’s my FAVE on fearless!!

Emzies

I’m posting this before I watch the video, so you may have addressed this already but… Taylor performs dance moves from throughout the Eras Tour while singing a song about performing the Eras Tour.

Liv

Guyssss the Hey Stephen laugh has me rolling 🤣🤣

JC S

What will I do after this tour?! This is so fun. Love you girls. I was blindsided early last year by a friendship break up after 18 years of being besties. “Hanging” in with you girlies, Taylor, and the other Swifties here has been such a comfort. Seriously dread the Tour ending.

Joe Weaver

Exactly! When she said it was a Fearless song. Ok this is the time for TWILY! Nope, she's got a vendetta against it.

Clash Fan

My theory on her not playing TWILY is the lyrics. Maybe that isn't a message she wants to be sending to anyone right now or she isn't vibing with the sentiment. I can't think of any other reason than she just doesn't want to.

Jodi L

I still am so confused about who Maroon is about & I hate that I care so much. I wish I could just enjoy the song!!

Meg A.

The way I loved you is superior

TY

What if Mary’s song is reserved for debut tv announcement night!!!!!

Sara Rose

NO BUT I absolutely thought.... okay this is it... this is the night we finally get The Way I Loved You!!! Why does she hate that song?? 😂

Ash

I’m shocked she didn’t sing another TTPD surprise song, I low key would’ve been bummed

ton

LOL I thought she said 8/9 weeks but yes the months is incredible… I think the lighting, logistic and sound engineers would have had to know details of the songs! The dancers definitely have to be trusted but I think the time they learnt the choreography would be just in the last 2 months… space to finish have a mini break and then learn it

Sophie

I wonder if she thinks TWILY is problematic or something? Obviously it's very relatable for a lot of people, especially teenagers, but I wonder if she doesn't want to promote that kind of toxic relationship? Honestly though, she's probably just saving it :)

Takara

I’m so curious where they rehearse also! Do they set up the stage somewhere? Especially to practice the Who’s Afraid platform moving? Gosh I hope she makes a documentary about this tour!

Ally ❤️

Laura….😭😭😭😭😭

Marissa

I feel like not enough people are talking about the maroon and ttpd connections! We go from "so scarlet it was maroon" to "will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon" in chloe or sam or sophia or marcus. She also reuses the rust metaphor in smallest man who ever lived, "I just want to know if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal." 👀

Jessi Lynn

Those boxes are incredible!

Morgan Thomas

Love the birthday song singing when opening the present

Sam

I don't think she'll release another rerecord this year. The pattern seems to be one year/two rerecords (Fearless + Red), one year/new album (Midnights), one year/two rerecords (Speak now + 1989), one year/new album (TTPD)

Persef

Honestly I prefer no mashups but PLEASE she needs to sing long story short peace epiphany again in full

ton

Laura what a GIFT!!!

jordan alexis

Here are the songs she hasn't played: Mary's Song, A perfectly good heart, TWILY, change, superstar, we were happy, that's when, don't you, bye bye baby, girl at home, Ronan, forever winter, run, I did something bad, its nice to have a friend, London boy, hoax, happiness, closure, glitch, + all of TTPD except setlist, loml, and my boy!

Ali ❤️‍🔥

I am SHOCKED that she didn’t do a ttpd song today! But she said it best, she can do whatever she wants! 🫶🏻😂

ton

Yes I love this!!!

Odet M 🩷🩷

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 Long Live girls I Love u ♥️♥️♥️

Helen Dunham

That is the most beautiful gift. So happy for you both

Morgan Thomas

Thanks for expressing how we all feel!

ton

I think Hey Stephen was so she could do the phrase “would they write a song for you” with a little smug grin … feels TK coded 🤣

Joe Weaver

I thought maybe there was a code in the description with the way WHaT is spelled. 😂 Taylor has warped my brain

Jodi L

I don’t think so. She was writing with Matty during Midnights & they went public after it was released & still working together. I think it was about Joe. I think she marooned Joe….

Jalen O’Grady

Here are my predictions for some combos: - I Hate It Here (G), happiness (P) - Begin Again (G), The Tortured Poets Department (P) - The Bolter (G), You’re Losing Me (P) - Mary’s Song / Timeless (G), Peter (Piano) - The Lucky One (G), Clara Bow (P) - I Look in People’s Windows / DBATC (G), hoax (P) - We Were Happy (G), Chloe and her bitches (P) - Wonderland (G), Robin / Never Grow Up (P)

Anna K

That was the sweetest thing ever! 🥹 So incredibly thoughtful! 💕

Christine

Those boxes are so special!! Amazing

Joe Weaver

I hope everybody can fathom the incredible detail on those boxes. They are amazing.

ton

The Karma at the end…. Takes all my friends to the summit! …. Thank you Covid😀

Gordon Werner

Was her outfit for “I can do it…” different for N3?

Lily Blanche

Crying on a sunday morning watching secret song reaction was not on my bingo card 😭😭 love the boxes so much 🩷🩵🫶🏼🫶🏼

Jenny Carey

Oh my godddddd, the boxes were the most incredible gift, I’m sobbing 🫶🥹

ton

I know it’s in the set list but midnight rain “I peered through a window” makes me think of “I look in peoples windows” now

Jalen O’Grady

In a perfect world I would die for a midnight rain / my tears ricochet

Lauren Thomas

Those boxes are so special, I can’t believe it!!

OutsideIsOurSong

Girlies - what is your morning tea of choice?!?

Julia

It's crazy to think Travis saw the eras tour, wanted to give her his number, and they fell in love, have a song or two written about him and now it's being performed at the same tour he saw her at at the beginning. It's a whirlwind! The so Highschool bleacher choreography being modeled after her reactions at football games, and his touchdown dances and swag surfing... It's sooo cute! It's too much. He better protect her heart always! She's loving him so out loud ♥️

Clash Fan

The boxes are amazing and unbelievably thoughtful. Thank you Laura, for expressing what a lot of us feel with your amazing talent.

Shannon

I’ve fathomed this! Also in the ‘in summation’ she says “then a crash from the skylight, bursting through, someone old, someone hollowed, who told me he could be brand new” — “you were standing hollow eyed in the hallway”

Sebastian

Where is Laura??? WE LOVE YOU GIRL! We love you C&R! 🤍✨

ton

Thanks I didn’t think she’d done SYGB but maybe you left it off deliberately because, like Ronan, she’s less likely to do live except for a special reason

cowboylikeme

Wow. Those handcrafted memorabilia eras tour boxes were absolutely beautiful! 🥹 Brought a tear to my eye just hearing the story of how/why they were made and that quote she shared in the letter was so beautiful! Laura, I felt compelled to say that your dad would be so proud of what you created and shared with Bonny & Emily. And thank you to you both for sharing such an intimate moment — I love that this is the sort of community Taylor has helped form — another reminder that there’s just so much love all around the world! ❤️

Emzies

Marissa, you are spot on. It’s insane to think of Maroon as a Matt song, but those are pretty strong ties.

PbPlaysInside

I'm so happy for you guys! Laura you are a LEGEND!!! Your gift is so heartfelt and beautiful! We couldn't have chosen better people to support and give our energy to. <3

Emzies

But I think Taylor said she wrote it about something from years before.

Jodi L

I don’t think she’s ever said that…but she doesn’t always give away who/what her songs are TRULY about.

Can

Not me out here crying watching this gift and letter be opened and read……. 😅 Being a Cancer is silly 🤪

Emzies

Justice for The Way I Loved You!

Teri M

LAURA!!! Those boxes are so thoughtful and beautiful!

ton

Ruh!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

jordan alexis

Yes! totally forgot about it because I intentionally left it off my playlist

Gordon Werner

Someone said on social media (instagram?) that the performance of “Smallest Man” is her battle for independence from The UK and I don’t know if that’s true but it’s definitely an interesting take

Bev Rousch

Welp! The boxes and letters made me cry like a baby. The sweetest.

Erica

That was such a beautiful gift!! I cried 🥹😭 thank you for everything you do! Laura was so right about it all!! 🫶🏻

ton

Iconic… and saves time …. I would include 123lgb … with the finger count for the first 1234

ton

Yep silver sparkle

Emzies

There’s no way the mashups over. She did a mashup last night for Paris N2, and Buenos Aires got the first mashup out of nowhere back in November…. I just think Taylor’s gonna do whatever she feels like and the rest of us just have to deal with it. There is no predicting this woman! I don’t know how to fathom her. I’m really quite mystified.

heather

aww those boxes were so sweet!! this community is so special❤️

krissy

Omg the end! 🥹 I need one of those mugs too!!

Georgina

Tonight’s outfit was giving watermelon 😂

Jeebs

I think it's a combination of this leg of the tour getting the new performances AND you said she really hasn't toured Europe that much. Could be an opportunity to play full length songs she's never done there before.

Emily Schneider

Not me sobbing while Emily reads Laura’s letter. What a beautiful reminder of your sparkling summer of Eras shows. 🫶🩷

wen ❤︎

Laura … I don’t know you, but I love you!! 🤍 You’ve literally wrapped up everything I feel for bonny and emily in those beautiful boxes and heartfelt letters. As a fellow senior swiftie, chats & reacts was also my gateway into the swiftiedom, and they bring so much joy and youthful exuberance into my life on a daily basis. So, SO grateful to be a part of this incredible community! Sending all of you so much love, aloha, and air hugs from maui, hawaii!! 🫶🏼

Debra

Those boxes are just the most thoughtful gift. Laura articulated how we all feel watching you two. I appreciate your videos so much, always a bright spot in my day. 💕

Sydney

She did loml as a surprise song first night in Paris on the piano 😁

Emzies

That’s so offensive.

Aloha Record Sargent

I'm not a Cancer, I'm a cold-hearted Virgo, but I'm still crying over the boxes and Laura's letter. Beautiful.

Katie LaFave

ya she hasn't played TWILY, change, superstar, and 4/6 of the vault tracks from fearless!!!

Kristin

Written recently, but about something from awhile back. She said before one of the performances of Maroon, maybe NJ, that it was about a time many years ago or long ago in NY. She’s said Midnights’ songs were all new but reflecting on things that kept her up various midnights of her life.

Emzies

Yes! Thank you for posting the link. I mentioned it before in the comments but I’m not on Twitter to share the video. What a completely chaotic and brilliant woman Taylor is!

Katie LaFave

yes she cuts the 2nd verse of cardigan and the other song she made shorter is betty where she also cuts the 2nd verse

Jenny M

Those are iconic boxs and well deserved , you girls are always here for us, thank you so much for this community.

Jessica

Yes, her also singing Hey Stephen. That is Matty Healy’s fav Taylor Swift song and she sang it to him before on tour, mentioning that someone had requested it

Jeebs

omg that gift and letter! 😭

✨Bri✨

Wow I was crying right along with you Bonny!! It’s so true that you guys have created such a beautiful community here and you guys deserve all of the love and all of the wonderful things that come your way!

Brandon Neikam (ibrandon3g)

Those boxes are so sweet! I 100% understand where Laura is coming from. As a newer fan of Taylor (Midnights) you both have become my guiding light. The minute I hear something new I can’t wait to see what Bonny & Emily think!

Joe Weaver

That was also what some people thought was the reason for the April 19th release date. April 19, 1775 was when the first shots were taken in the Revolutionary War.

Cara M

Em: We don’t give enough credit to Taylor Bonny: I think we do. DYING 😂😂

sNiles

ok so that gift is INCREDIBLE and touched me so much, but mostly because I am a 52 year old Swiftie who "fucking loves you both" too!!! I want to be friends with Laura!!!

Alexis

Omg. I was not expecting to get emotional with this video….and then you revealed you had a package to open. 😭 Oh my goodness. That is one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever seen. Laura (or Mex) you are an ICON. Your words were so beautiful and really perfectly summed up what Chats and Reacts has meant for all of us. Thank you on behalf of all us. THANK YOU. 🙏🏽🫶🏽😭I

Emzies

Laura, you have ruined me in such a beautiful way. What an extraordinary heart you have!

Cara M

Sydney N4 was illegal. I was there with you somewhere on the floor, I looked so hard for you both, even though I knew you didn’t have tix. BUT YOU DID!

Cara M

not chloe and her bitches 😂

Daniela

What a beautiful gift. Thank you Laura!

Daniela

Also Bonny I love your curls!

Kristin

I think it’s possible she may want to put a nice bow on the Eras Tour by owning all of her works, so I could see her dropping them this year. There’s a couple interesting dates in November, November 1 (111 or III in the TTPD logo) or November 22 (1122, but maybe doubles is just a TTPD thing), both Fridays. Then debut, maybe on her birthday, 12/13. That’s close, but this woman charts all her songs anyway so 😂 -Chairman of The Compulsive Clowns Department

anntallogy

ooooooh Taylor had performed hey stephen on may 14, 2023 and she dedicated this song to Matty not strictly with the words but anyway. And so him had posted this song on his social once in their 1989 period and once on the stories around begging of 2024 (wish I could remember the date 😬). No you can’t inconvenience me that Marron is a Matty song 🫣

Mary Cousins

I was blown away when I heard that there’s 2 separate crew with 90 trucks fully of gear. While she’s playing one city for the 3-4 days the other crew are driving to the next venue to set up.

Amy Versprille

That was so touching! What an amazing keepsake

Jessica

Laura, you are so sweet! That was such a special gift 😊🎁

Julesf75

Did you catch that she paired those songs together I think to officially signify Maroon is about Matty. He had stated that Hey Stephen was his favorite song and she played it in Philadelphia when he was there last year!

Momo

AIME is Covid 💀😂😂

anntallogy

my guess is that when she did mush apps she tried to give us energy of TTPD before we got TTPD. It is like it could be even a full video on patreon which mashup ties to which song or mood on TTPD. I mean that mush ups are so Tortured - long story short x story of us, dbatc x babe, falce godx slut, Maroon (1 verse like the re-live that felling again) and then Forever & Always (like this time it was not even a chance to live through the end) et al. IDK I guess Taylor gives us a lot of material nooow

Cara M

Laura! Those boxes are incredible, so so thoughtful. I feel so connected to this community as an elder swiftie who doesn’t have many peeps to chats about Taylor with. These boxes are such a symbol of that connection. Stunning 🩷

Jentallygirl

Wow, what amazing words from Laura! 🫶 (I totally agree, lol…) 🥰 And the story of those boxes is insanely special too… so sweet to have something that meaningful and beautiful to house your prized Taylor mementos, and your friendship memories too! 🩷🩷 Thank you for sharing them with us… just lovely!! ✨🥳

David S 🎃

Laura put so much love into those boxes, I’ve been in on the secret for a while getting progress pics and updates as we chat back and forth. Laura is an amazing carpenter with such a big heart and if you’re reading this, that part about being a novice is bullshit!! 😁😁 Thanks for giving the girls something to show how we all feel about them 🫶x13

Sadie

“The way I loved you” sounds good, but it sends a TERRIBLE message. Love like that is NOT healthy, definitely not something to strive for. I hope she NEVER connects with that song ever again😬

Gi Gouvea

Omggg 😍😭😍😭😍😭

Sarah

As much as I'd rather it not be, I think there's a strong possibility Maroon is about Matty and her not working out back in 2014. She did say before one of the Maroon performances that it was about something that happened "a long time ago." Combined with the "scarlet maroon" lyric from Chloe et al, I would imagine both songs are inspired by the same muse.

Abby Thaine

I’ve thought about that too! It’s in my top 3 on Fearless. Hope she plays it eventually 🤞

Abby Thaine

Yes! She said that at my show. She said, “this song is about something that happened many years ago in New York”. I think it must be Matty. Especially with the Chole etc lyric connection.

Tess7

What a beautiful, heartfelt gift and letter from Laura. The boxes were so beautiful. I feel the same way about Bon and Em! I know we all do in this wonderful community. Bon and Em bring this older Swiftie so much wild joy! My friend for life lives too far away to see often, but we talk and see each other all we can. You two chickens make my days. It makes me smile when I see you drinking from the mugs 🥰 I have purchased some TEA so I can try making it like you guys do, I’m a coffee girlie- but I will try it lol love you girlies and this community of besties! 💗

ren

The ttpd cardigan🥺🤍

Sarah

I'm going to just hope she doesn't ever sing TWILY while she's with Travis. Can you imagine? It would send such a message that, yeah, Travis is technically a great guy, but she actually wishes she was still in that "cyclone" with Matty. 🫣

Jodi L

I know she said that and the 3am tracks give that….but I don’t think she was transparent about the theme of the album because she was in the midst of deciding whether she was going to stay with Joe. Now I dooooo remember that speech! Interesting 🤔

Izzzy Federgreen

i kinda hope you guys put the ttpd set into a reaction again, i want to see if there's more to fathom i feel like i have not done enough fathoming

Jodi L

I am glad she spares us the details of who her songs are about. 😂 I’d rather not think of Matty having that type of hold on her…but I am being a judgmental creep! lol 😂

Tess7

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day here in the US, so I’m expecting The Best Day for one of the surprise songs. I hope Andrea made the trip, but even if she didn’t, I bet Taylor sings it. 🙂

jenny

Ya'll seriously bring a smile to my face every time. I can tell y'all have the kindest souls. It feels like i'm on facetime lol. Those boxes are so cool, bonny is so real for crying!!

Tess7

The someone old, hallowed and new is like the wedding vow lyrics in Lover 😳 she is a genius lol

Tess7

I’m sorry about your friendship. This is a wonderful place to hang out 💕

Raven Patzner 🇨🇦🫶🏻

Have you noticed she stopped painting her nails all of the era colours now that there is 11? Really the end of an era 🥲

Jami Marie

Those boxes are beautiful!

sydney

such beautiful words from Laura and a wonderful gift. She perfectly articulated how much we all love you and feel so seen by you. Your excitement and insight are truly everything and like mean too much to me

Alana Ashley

I just know the day she does The Prophecy I’m not gonna make it and all the outfit changes are so cool, I love that we know Rep will change if she releases it before your is over, I just love the new set regardless of what I would change personally she’s just a genius truly - edit the fact that I’m sobbing 😭 over these boxes, she put it into words so well and the love is so genuine !! Chats and Reacts forever

Sam

😂😂😂 at Emily’s face when Taylor sang “shit always ends” like that!!

Gillian

Oh Laura, those boxes are extraordinary. You made me tear up too!! Love you all.

Miss T

We need a 13 episode documentary-series about it all! I also think with the rehearsal process, they may have started learning the choreography before the 2 month break and then during the 2 month break they may have pieced it all together and practiced the new running order to get that in their bodies with new quick changes, transitions between eras, etc. Pro dancers can generally pick up choreography really quickly and learn a normal length show (1.5 hours or so) in a few weeks. They’re so good at their jobs!

Shawn carni

I was thinking the same thing when I watched this!!

yuki 🤍

I CRIED when you guys read out that letter. I love this community!

Renee

OMG those boxes are awesome You guys mean so much you have no idea I have complex PTSD so I have no friends You guys make me feel less alone 💜

Mex

they made me cry as much as my boxes made them cry

Megan W

MVS (Most Valuable Swiftie) Laura!!!

Mex

i had a feeling i was speaking for all of us, so i tried really hard to get the words right!

Mex

and in perfect form, i'm the 13th like! thanks for your encouragement and friendship, Joe!

Mex

my nephew graduated from college today, and i spent the whole day away from home, then my phone died on the 2 hour drive back, so i got no notifications!!! i couldn't wait to get back so i could watch the unboxing! i love you all for all of the kind things you have said and for you all making up this amazing community!

Mex

my dad would be grinning from ear to ear. thank you for saying that.

Mex

so true! they are the best!! thank you!

Mex

it's a lot sometimes, isn't it?

phoebe lam

she cuts out the second verses for cardigan and betty for the folkmore set! it’s shortened

Mex

thank you for saying all of that. you are so kind. i've been a taylor fan for so long. always knew her music but never purchased it until 1989. that cd never left my car player. i'm surprised it wasn't worn out. chats and reacts came into my life in my attempt not to pay for netflix and now i just pay a monthly fee to bon and em instead!! and it's worth every last penny!

WeatherJoy

Ya’ll, she played “Hey Stephen” as the lights shone Travis’s colors. Hey MH fuck off. Apparently he had stated that was his favorite. And then she played Maroon and sang the fuck out of “Shit always ends”. MH did leave a fucking legacy and she’s serving it up with TTPD like a queen. thanK you aIMee vibes.

Mex

omg you guys are so sweet!

Gia

You have all of us 🫶

Mex

i have made such beautiful friends here. you are welcome to dm me if you are on discord. there are a lot of "senior" swifties here!

Mex

thank you for being so kind! i'm so overwhelmed with so many people saying that i expressed how they feel about bon and em. they are superior humans and so are you for these thoughtful words!

WeatherJoy

I’m a choreographer and I guarantee you Mandy Moore had the music she was choreographing for well ahead of time and the dancers likely started in with it during the two month break.

Gia

Handmade gifts like that beat any store bought present! The story behind them too. I had to watch twice as tjhe first time I couldn’t see properly through my emotional Pisces tears 🤣♥️ amazing job Laura xxx

Sarah

Yes!! I hate that Bonny missed it!

Mex

and just when i stop crying...dammit, david!! payback, i guess. you played a bigger role than you let on (if you know, you know), and your heart appears to be just as big. thanks for your friendship and constant encouragement over the long process of getting these designed and made!

Mex

same, annika, same

Mex

I watched it twice so far, because the first time, i couldn't even wrap my brain around seeing them in a chats and reacts video...omg!! i cried both times and probably will cry anytime i watch it. thank you, georgia!

WeatherJoy

As a choreographer/producer I can weigh in.. when she says we started planning this 8 or 9 months ago it’s along the lines of planning that there would be a TTPD set. The first thing that had to be in production would be Who’s afraid due to the moving stage part. But planning means they made sure there was a 2 month break to rehearse it. She hired and scheduled all the people needed for choreo, costumes, began coming up with ideas for style and visuals but the actual entirety of the set list would come together much closer to when she turned the album in. Things get added later all the time in a production development ESPECIALLY transitions so Down Bad and So High School I would consider transitions those were likely decided later. But Daddy, Fortnight, Smallest Man and I can Do it likely led the way and everything was developed around those.

WeatherJoy

I’m crying with Laura’s letter. Those boxes are beautiful.

Roe

i think the mash ups are an easter egg for the double album cause of the 2s

Kasey

I’m not terribly surprised that she isn’t doing mashups because of TTPD being new and focusing on that new set. She’s commented how the surprise songs take time to practice and she does put planning and effort into them. She probably needs to just focus on 2 surprise songs while she’s focused on all the newness. Our girl needs to draw some boundaries somewhere 😂

Eevaliisa H.

I'll be seeing her in Sweden on the first night! ✨❤️✨ My first time seeing her, I'm so exited

chatsandreacts

Georgia is right, you have all of us 🫶🏻 we LOVE YOU Renee, thank you for being here! 💗

Susan

I love these beautiful handmade wooden boxes. Wow Mex/Laura how amazing, kind and thoughtful this is😍 I am watching from Denmark and these days the first thing I am doing every morning is checking for C&R reactions🫶 Love this community and B&E and you all and all the kindness and love in this channel🤍

Kasey

Just now finishing the video… omg the memorabilia boxes are SO SWEET. Laura you are a superior human! The quote about creating something for someone to take with them throughout their life made me tear up. What a beautiful letter! Emily and Bonnie you are so deserving! I’m so glad you opened the package on camera.

chatsandreacts

True 😂😂😂😂 it’s a toxic ass song but it sounds so good 😭

Ellen Blair

As a US girly who works remotely with tons of people from other countries, I noticed she even specifically switched the date/month order for you guys. (Yes we do it backwards here - no idea why? 😆) So much detail! What beautiful boxes. 😊

Renee

THANK YOU!!! 😊 I LOVE this community you've built SOOOO MUCH 🥰

Renee

Thank you You have no idea how much that means to me This community is the BEST 🫶

Rafael Splinter

Laura!!! Do you by any chance have any social media (Instagram, YouTube, whatever) accounts that we could follow? I (and I'm sure so many others here) would absolutey LOVE to see what you have created (and are creating) with your majestic talent. And even support you if there's any chance to purchase said creations! Let us know, please.

Shona Marks

Laura... the keepsake boxes are absolutely beautiful 😍

Liz

The boxes were the most offensive gifts! How incredibly beautiful. The secret songs were definitely all about ‘The Matt Man’. Basically confirming ‘Maroon’ was definitely about him. Long time YT viewer who has loved the joy and care you both have put into your videos since the beginning! Needed some more E + B, and even more fathoming after this release. So much to go back and re-fathom now! Lead the way girlies!

Emmie Kruger

Laura! Those boxes are so gorgeous and special! And your letter made me cry! You said how I'm sure a lot of us feel about the girls and this community. Thank you!

Mex

thank you for noticing! i did intentionally quiz the australian mods about how they would personally write the date and they helped me choose the format. i didn't want it to be weird each time they saw the dates. the shows happened in australia (minus santa clara), so they needed aussie date format

Jaana

Next week she’ll be in Sweden and so will I! 😭♥️

alyssa🫶

I have a Spotify playlist of songs never played on the eras tour if you girls are interested!

angel (plnkblue)

lately i've had a mild clowny theory that she hasn't played the way i loved you cause it hit too hard, esp given everything we now know thanks to tortured poets. a song about wanting to leave a safe, comfortable relationship in search of the passionate, chaotic, wild excitement of an older fling? yeah i can get why maybe that song was too difficult to touch back in 2023/pre ttpd. but maybe soon....

Kiki

I would be interested

Beatrix P

Omg those memory boxes are so beautiful and special!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nora Melone

I think the dancers knew the songs earlier because they also posted choreographies on instagram to So Long London and Fortnight 🥰

Mie

Such a beautiful gift from Laura 😍 I feel the same about you Emily and Bonny. I suffer from bad anxiety and the two of you, your videos and this community bring me so much joy and calm. You have helped me through so many difficult times. I’m going to N1 in Stockholm and is so anxious about going. Have been waiting to see Taylor for 15 years and hope that my anxiety won’t get the best of me and that I’ll get to enjoy the experience.

Beatrix P

Crying my eyes out at that letter 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰

Annabel

What a beautiful gift! And as beautiful words. Kindness really does make the world go round. X

Giulia

She’s saving the way I loved you for me 😌

angel (plnkblue)

omg those boxes are beautiful and that letter is so touching 🥺 mex absolutely speaks for all of us in how grateful we are to you two for giving us this incredible space to celebrate and gush about all things taylor and beyond. long live chats and reacts 💜

Nora Melone

I was not prepared for the ending 😭😭😭 I love this community so much ❤️❤️❤️

Giulia

I personally think she’s not doing mashups because she’s never come here for tour and she wants to give Europe full songs.

Mex

I sent them and I still wasn't prepared 😭

Omg the boxes are so beautiful, that’s what you two girls deserve🥺 I’m looking forward to travel someday to Australia and then I’ll do whatever it takes to get to meet you somewhere and give you a present too🥰 Btw!!!! Madrid shows are on the 29 and 30 of May, and I’m going to the 29th show I CAN’T BELIEVE IT IT’S SOOO CLOSE

Mex

I'm sorry. I know that's such a hard thing to handle

Megan Zegveldt

I cannot with that letter, I’m absolutely sobbing! I wasn’t ready for that emotional trauma, I only woke up 30 minutes go 😭😭😭

AshZ

I actually can’t comprehend this tour ever ending, it will be like the end of the world 😭💔

maya zutra

All I do is cry here 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

AshZ

I’m actually sobbing at the end of this video, what a special community 💜

Kate

the boxes are beautiful and such a thoughtful gift. So glad you captured that on camera for the community

Luli Diaz

Does someone have an updated checklist for the surprise songs with ttpd?

Kasey

a maroon/chloe et al mashup would’ve been superior!! it was maroon… like it never happened, could it be enough… ?!!! help i would die

Bea Andersen

I’m seeing her for the first time next week in Sweden!! I’m soooo excited!!😭😭😭

Gustav Lucas

WHY did I start analyzing the capital letters in YOUR caption…

Marina

Madrid’s shows are the 29th and 30th of May 🥰 (I think we are the only country having the shows in the middle of the week 🤦🏻‍♀️)

jessy ♡

i love you both so much, thank you for these amazing videos you always give us <3 🫶🏻

bluemoon1989

I think she’s saving Mary’s song for debut tv, I did something bad for rep tv, and the way I loved you for something completely unhinged we will never see coming (like a ts12 love album… just like she was going to announce TPD and play dear reader)

Katie K

She’s trained us good!

Faustine L

The boxes are absolutely gorgeous! Laura, you're so talented! At craft and words indeed. 🥰

Evelien 🇳🇱

Wow the boxes are such a precious gift!! You are so deserving of all the love, girls. I love watching your videos. Seeing my own experience reflected in your reactions, emotions and analyses is so comforting. Makes me feel less alone in being a swiftie 🫶

chel

Omg the boxes 😭😭😭😭😭

wen ❤︎

Aaaahhhhhh!! Screaming, crying, and throwing up over here!!! Mex, you beautiful human … you just got me my first like from other beautiful humans, bonny and emily!!! (I have to speak about them as if they’re not actually reading this because they’re like taylor-level icons to me, and I truly fear that I’d become a modern idiot if ever faced with the opportunity to interact with them directly. In my mind, I’d like to think I’d be as cool as you and be able to express myself with an, “I fucking love you!!!” One can dream.) Anyhoo, apologies for shortening the span of your swiftieness. Just rewatched the vid and caught the part of you finding them in pursuit of an alternative to watching miss americana on netflix. I became a fan of taylor when I first heard safe and sound, then became a bigger fan when I heard that she worked with ryan tedder on 1989. (loved onerepublic since their myspace days). Funny you should mention that was on repeat in your car because the cd player in my truck finally died, and my 1989 tv is stuck in there. I kinda like the idea of it living there forever, though. Anyhoo part two … although I was already a fan, I wasn’t deserving of being called a swiftie yet because I hadn’t even begun to fathom the brilliance of taylor’s lyricism and discography. All the lore, the easter eggs, the depth, the humor, it’s just too superior. I only felt deserving of that title’s honor after educating myself by watching bonny and emily masterfully decode her albums. So illegal. They’re straight-up geniuses. Anyhoo part three … just wanted to write what became a novel to express my extreme joy and gratitude for your existence and kind heart. Your eloquent words and woodworking talent resulted in the most beautiful gifts for bon and em, which resulted in my genuine tears over your love and appreciation for them, because I love and appreciate them too, which resulted in me connecting with one of the coolest people I’ve never met, which resulted in said person actually replying to me, and to top it off, a like from chats & reacts?? I mean, it’s almost too much to fathom. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I fucking love you!! 🫶🏼 P.S. You’re such an amazing writer! Rewatched them reading your letter three times already, and I teared up EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. P.P.S. I’m a 92%er and chieftie in training, so I think your connection to travis with your shared home state of ohio is beyond cool.

Maria

I very much think its about Matty. And she sang it together with Hey Stephen which is Mattys favourite. So I think that kind of confirms it🙈

Dorka

Oh my god that box looks AMAZING!!! You are so lucky 🥰❤️ Laura did an amazing job.

Maria

Shes singing and preforming about singing and preforming in the same tour. Its really meta😀 Something Matty likes haha

Rick V

Ahhhhhh. Hey Stephen is still this OG Swiftie’s all time favorite. Thank you Taylor.

Amelie

Speak Now era is just: "Hi look at my beautiful dress! Ok thats enough im gone" 😅

Rick V

She just did one yesterday

Giulia

Thats the way she’s always performed the song it doesn’t count

Julie K

Switzerland too, will be a Tuesday and Wednesday for us 🙃

Elísabet Ásta Magnúsdóttir

Such a beautiful gift! Like your community is a beautiful gift to all of us 🥰 thank you for that gift!

cowboylikeme

Hi Laura, I wasn’t sure if this message would reach you but I’m so glad it did! 🥹 Really and truly, thank you so much for sharing your incredible craft and for being so kind in sharing some of your story. I can’t really explain it but seeing this act of love/appreciation on your behalf just gave me a lot of hope & happiness — nothing more comforting than just knowing there’s so much good out in the world! And I can’t imagine there’s anything a parent would be more proud of, than that. ❤️ So I hope you’re basking in pride because of these gorgeous boxes you MADE (still can’t believe it!)! Take care, Laura! Please keep your wonderful personality and keep sharing your love/work with the world! <3

Marina

So random🤦🏻‍♀️

Dianne Janssen

She hasn’t done twily yet, cause she is waiting to play it for me when I’m at the show 😇🤡

Maddie

Sick in bed watching you guys always makes me feel better. Emily has me laughing with “please hold your horses” 😂

Stella

I’m going to the third night in Stockholm and I’m SO SO SO excited!! I can’t believe she’s gonna play in my hometown??? That just feels unreal

Ana Noronha

I love this community so much 🥹🤏🏻

paulina

The letter made me cry because Laura is soooo right

Nele

these days i'm waking up with your uploads and have my morning coffee watching it THE BESTTTTTT ☕️ also omg that at the end there was soooooo beautiful and touching omg the boxes are something else wow !!! 🥺🫶

Dannele

I love That’s the Way I Loved You!! Your question is my question! Lol

Elvira✨

I’m Swedish but can’t go to the shows next weekend because of uni exams. I have tickets to see her in London instead which I’m super thankful for. but I still have such fomo that she’ll be in Sweden and I’m not there 😂

Dannele

And I love your memory boxes!!!

Katie

Laura! These boxes! That letter! So wholesome and absolutely lovely! 🥰 not to switch up from the immaculate vibes of the video but I fathomed something I feel compelled to share. Isn’t Hey Stephen Matty’s favorite song? She played it for him “by request” last May (maybe Philadelphia?) during the whirlwind. I only remember because I was paying very close attention to SS selections leading up to my 5/20 rain snow when she gave the rogue speech then played Question…? Help! I fear she’s still sending us messages with these pairings! 👀 Hey Stephen and Maroon! 🚨

Reema TH

Me too 😭😭

iw

I genuinely think that’s one of the reasons she hasn’t. People read into every single surprise song she does. She’d have to give an intro speech beforehand lol

Katie

Tea !!!

Clare Stewart

Awww this was so sweet 🥰🥰 made me tear up 🥹🥹 you girls have created the nicest community I feel so proud to be apart of it ❤️

Amy Haylock

Yeah she probably did have some thoughts in Tokyo but also she did say if she didn’t get a Grammy she was gonna announce TTPD in Tokyo so that would have been something special for them too maybe? It’s so true what you guys saying about each area having something special 🩷

blake

Genius

Fanny Bureau

Why is no one talking about the mashups being a hint to the TTPD DOUBLE ALBUM! Started after the announcement and ended when the album came out

Cinetati

Watching this before getting ready for my final show in Paris and crying because Laura is so talented and sweet!! I love being here so much!! <3

Mex

made my world for them to videotape this unboxing of boxes!!

alexis

same girlie!!!

alexis

ahh! same! it's been a long time coming

Sarah✨️

oh my gosh the boxes!! I'm crying. Thank you Laura ~ from all chats and reacts stans.

Jeebs

Calling it now, if Travis is there today, I BETTER she plays Begin Again for the last night in Paris 🤞🏻

Zosia Dabrowski

Laura you are AMAZING what care and love you put into those gifts, not to mention the talent in making them and inscribing all the beautiful artwork and fonts so precisely! You're a gem

Brenda1989

I think she won’t do mash up bc I think SHE needs time to recover from the killer set that is the tortured poets! I think she literally give everything the whole concert and then even more for that set so I think secret songs are her time to recover and mellow just a bit before heading to midnights

Mex

thank you for the kind words. please send me a dm if you want to know a little more about my future plans.

Lilly

I was sitting there saying “the way I loved you, the way I loved you, the way I loved you”

Caitlin Vee

Wow! Those boxes and the letter, Laura! Thank you for saying this for us all. 💜 Long Live, C&R 💜

Lilly

I’ve been waiting for it and hope for it every night

Lilly

I think mash ups will return here soon

Abby

Crying and snotting while drinking my coffee 😂😭

Saarz23

not me crying over these beautiful boxes! how special

Katie

Chloe et al 😂😂😂😂

Katie

Slay!!! 🫶

J R

Emily with the dinosaur sound effect and the side eye at Taylor’s excellent Maroon vocals😆We love a silly goofy mood

Mex

you are a beautiful and awesome human!! thank you so much for all of this. i weirdly love that your truck ate your 1989 tv cd. i remember the first time bon and em liked one of my comments here. i probably still have a screenshot of it! so i fully fathom your excitement. it's our tiny version of the girls freaking out that taylor watches their videos and knows who they are

✨Kailee✨

Those boxes are absolutely stunning! What a thoughtful gift!

Karen Valentino

Wow, the beautiful boxes! And the beautiful words. Well done, Laura!

Amanda

Listening, I was thinking too that maybe she plays songs based on requests from people there (like her dancers, friends, fam, Trav, etc.)

Carlee Unger

My period emotions were not prepared for the last ten minutes of this video 😭♥️

Bethany

that calendar gave speak now more rights than taylor has on this tour 😭

Cecilia Sparke

Apparently Hey Stephen is Matty's favourite Taylor song. And Maroon could well be about Matty given the maroon reference in Chloe et al. It feels like she's coming for him, especially with all the references to his performances in her choreography of The Smallest Man.

monica m

Laura!!! That was so so touching and such a beautifully written letter. I'm so glad I got to see it! So much talent in this lovely community?! Love you em&bonnie and love to all of us chats&reacts chickens! <3

Alex Engstrom

LONG LIVE CHATS & REACTS!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Megan C

I think the mashups are on pause until ttpd has its time. There's so much new stuff happening right now!!

Mequet

Not me crying along with you at the beautiful boxes from Laura! Laura we stan!! That was such a beautiful and heartfelt gesture! Bonny and Emily y’all deserve it!! You both bring so much warmth and happiness and “wild joy” to so many people.

Mequet

Laura what you made was incredible and so heartfelt and special. And I think you captured what makes so many of us fans of Bonny and Emily in your letter. I loved seeing how happy and touched they were by your hard work and the love you put into the boxes you made for them.

Mequet

Also Bonny wiping her tears on her tortured poets cardigan sleeve is so relatable. The number of tears I have wiped with my 1989 cardigan (a Christmas gift from my best friend) sleeve cannot be counted!

Megan C

Laura! Those were the sweetest and most thoughtful gifts I've ever seen! 🥰🥰🥰

Mex

yes!!!!

Sara Brannon

“Our Aimee is Covid” ☠️😂

Esther Newman

omg laura, you got me tearing up too over your beautiful gifts and letter 🥹 I think we all echo your words - long live chats and reacts and this swiftie community 💖💖💖 (ps I think mashups may come back later in the tour, as you say - to give us time to catch our breaths after all the changes and to get more accustomed to the new album/set. I wonder whether she'll do a london boy/so long london mashup when she performs here?) x

erin

THE BOXES?? so incredibly thoughtful and beautiful!!

Fatima Chehade

Is it possible for her to play so high school during the surprise songs? Like I mean it’s too short on the set!

Caleb

the boxes are sooooo cool!!! so kind and thoughtful of Laura!

Suzanne

I agree! I think the “marching band” in The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is actually an army!

Mads

Can I just say the fact that yall look this way at 6 AM is seriously amazing 😂

Minnie Marie

I doubt she will. It's a difficult song to sing live. There's a lot of words and not many breaks to take a breath

Danielle

As if those memory boxes weren’t beautiful enough, the sentiment and words sent along with them were amazing. Great job Laura ❤️

Danielle

Mex you are so sweet! What a beautiful gift you’ve given our girls ❤️

Alexis

Honey, we had another thing coming. 💀

Jeebs

I WAS RIGHT LOL

Brent

are you guys missing May 30 on your calendar?

Jade

I am so hungry for the Night 4 reaction from Em & Bon. I’ve seen the videos of livestreams and I’m absolutely sick with happiness.

lucy lambert

Interesting that she played 'Hey Stephen' which is known to be matty's favourite taylor song alongside Maroon which could also now be linked to matty with the further info that Chloe or sam has given us... "And you have some kids with an internet starlet Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon Like it never happened? Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?" Idk just a thought, anyways. Also had a cry watching you open those boxes, so wholesome

Jade

This community is truly the best and our favorite chickens deserve ALL of the love. ❤️

Jenny MacRunnel

Laura, those boxes are AMAZING, what a fantastic and special gift!

Maria Lopes

guys I'm brazilian and I'm going to Madrid night 1 totally alone, I'm scared but so SO excited! love u guys

Mex

i'm going to indianapolis night 1 alone, and i'm excited, too. i've talked to and read about people who went by themselves and every one of them said they had a great time. madrid is a beautiful city and swifties are so welcoming. I hope you have the best time a couple of weeks from now!

Mex

combine taylor swift with bonny and emily and it's always going to turn into something amazing, right?!

Kim Levy

I’m sure the whole crew had to sign an NDA

Alex Engstrom

Yes Mex!!!! I cried. So sweet!!!!!

Yaya

she could care less about that rat

lucy lambert

Woah there tiger, never said she cared about him, just thought it was an interesting pairing of songs!

Jenny MacRunnel

THis was really moving, thank you for sharing

Chaya lindsay

She hasn’t played that’s the way I loved you bc she knows once you hear that song it’s plastered in your head for 6 months straight and that would impede her ability to sing any other song. Lol

Meg A.

Crying 😭 The boxes are so beautiful and special.

Tess7

If I can snag Indy tickets we need to meet up and say hi! :)

Em

Totally agree with Maroon for sure 👀

Hannah H

The boxes 🥹

Lan

The boxes and the letters are sooo beautiful! Laura, thank you so much for summarizing and presenting our feelings in such beautiful words!

Freyastendal

Im going the first show in sweden and 25th in lisbon. Im sooooo excited!

kika

hey stephen is top 10 my fav songs and i was so close😭 i lost it… hoping she plays another fearless one soon🤭

kika

go off queen indeed!!! us portuguese girlies are SO grateful she is doing two shows here. she was coming here for a festival in 2020 💔💔 so i like to think she’s giving us two shows (we’re an extremely small country) bc we missed out on that performance

alden

LAURA YOU'RE AN ANGEL 😭🫶 no one could've expressed and articulated it better as well! You said everything we feel for these two chickens and so much more ❤️❤️

jasmine 🇸🇪🌷

i’m so excited to have these videos again 🥹💗 love you girlies to the moon and back!! I’m actually going to STOCKHOLM N1 AAAAH IT DOES NOT FEEL REAL RIGHT NOW IM SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED 🥰😭😭 the first time she comes to sweden ever i got tickets for the first night HELP if any of you have any tips or things to keep in mind pls inform me i feel overwhelmed 🫶🏼

jasmine 🇸🇪🌷

aah laura that was so insanely beautiful i’m crying 😭 💗💗

Emma

Laura please, I am crying 😭

Emma

Omg Laura this just keeps getting more beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Emma

Ahhhh I’m the 25th in Lisbon too!

Emma

Vc vai amar! E todos nós vamos estar contigo 😂. We are all in it together!

Freyastendal

Arrrhhh omg! Im sooo excited! What section are you?

Emily Hopkins

God this was everything 😭😭😭 those boxes ARE STUNNING 🔥🔥🔥 Love you both SO FUCKING MUCH ❤️

Soraia Ferreira

Laura that was so beautiful and genuine, I was crying because that’s exactly how I feel about our girls 🥹🥰

Erin S

8-9 months ago would have been the start of storyboarding and staging and costuming and props and visuals and all those mechanics. Choreo would have come much later and the dancers wouldn’t have had to learn new routines until the break… they learn that stuff fast.

Natalie Sagova

Ahoy! I need your help, last summer I tried to get tickets for the eras tour, but before I could buy, they were sold out too. I'm from Prague and I need somewhere in Europe. I'm so scared to buy it from some resellers though? Do you have any tips on where it's safe? Or does anyone sell tickets please. I am so desperate! Love you guys <3

Lena

When she plays Hey Stephen I immediately think of that Stephen Colbert interview. So sus. She played both on a night 3 almost a year apart

Kristen G

omg!! Laura's letter to you guys has me cryyyiiinnggg!! That was so, so special and wonderfully put! I absolutely want to echo those words back to both of you. Thank you, thank you for literally getting me and my little twin boys through the pandemic. I became a single Mom 2 months before folklore dropped and I found you little chickens reacting haha!! THANK YOU, TAYLOR!!!! Oliver, Quinn and I love watching you, my "chats and reacts girls" as they would say. We too have all absorbed and use your SUPERIOR and immaculate vocabulary word. They are 9 now, you both have LITERALLY been a part of their lives since they had *just* turned 5. We fucking love you both so much! Thank you for being the besties I wish I had!!!

Mex

you are too kind!🥰 we get disillusioned by so many dark things in this world, but being here in this community is a bright light shining on the good that still exists. the vibe of this space is a direct reflection of the beautiful souls of bon and em. biggest hugs to you!

Kotryna Jackytė

No haha Madrid shows are on 29th and 30th! I’m going to both!

Dina

shes saving the way i loved you for stockholm N1!

Laura Bolanos

From a Laura to THE Lovely Laura: thank you for echoing exactly how these chickens make us feel 😭 I loved your letter and boxes so much!! GIRLS! I noticed she played Hey Stephen last year for Mother’s Day (in the US) weekend in Philadelphia and now a year later she plays it again? If I’m not mistaken the first time she played it she mentioned it was one of her friend’s favorite fearless songs! Then she proceeded to play Maroon— gives me the feeling she wanted to confirm this was about Matty (because the first time she played it in Met Life she mentioned it was about something that happened to her years ago 😮) and now the image of him holding a red wine bottle on stage during his concerts + THAT LINE from Chloe et al lines up with this all too much 😅

abbeyeli92

I’m crying now to! We fucking love you both! X

Shannon Miller

Crying so hard. Laura!!! A true angel.

Jordi

i was there for this show 🥹 was gutted we didn’t get a TTPD song but was grateful to hear Maroon live as it’s one of my favourites 🥰

Mex

i love this!! thank you, and let's just normalize "I fucking love you" as the standard ending for messages to Bonny and Emily!!

Brittany DeLara

I am so sorry, and I am not ungrateful, but I was at the Mother’s Day show last year, and knew we would get The Best Day. Which was great because I knew my mom wanted that song really badly and I wanted that for her for Mother’s Day. But the only surprise song I really wanted was Maroon. It’s just her best song ever, what can you do? However, she played Hey Stephen. We got TWO Fearless songs. Soooo, to watch her play Hey Stephen and then Maroon felt like a sick joke. Only surprise song set I’ve ever been truly upset about. Haha

Mex

yes please. I would love to meet you!

Carla

I would love to hear Bonny and Emily's thoughts on some of their favorite songs possibly being about Matty. Maroon, ivy, cardigan, august, etc. How does that sit with them and also how did that rearrange the Taylor universe for them! It's interesting that Taylor said these were fictional stories, but now that we know more about her relationship with Joe, they fit so perfectly with her real life.

Shannon Truax

The ending of this video had me crying. What a special and meaningful gift from Laura. I feel so lucky to be part of this community; it brings me joy and I love each video. I even call my students “silly chickens” thanks to Bonny and Emily!

Catalina Borreani

didn’t expect to bawl my eyes out tonight but i’m guessing that’s the vibe lol laura was so so sweet either way her words and those boxes were the perfect gift! thank you laura for making our girls feel our love🩷☺️

Mex

I did my best to try to express what it feels like to be a part of this community they have created. we are all here because we love them. thank you for such kind words!

seefany

As you girls have mentioned "hoax" again, I've written this down in my journal the beginning of this year after listening to "hoax" and having it grown on me over time. My journal says⬇️ 【THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT "hoax" missing from Surprise Songs – Now that I've listened to it more, the lyrics are somehow giving a much sadder tone to it, thinking back, "hoax" being the last song on the album. It might've meant something or gave out some early signs about the latter breakup with Joe.】 Also, after watching AJay's folkore revisit reaction video, I feel like I'm not the only one having this thoughts/feelings towards this song. She pointed out how dark and hurt the lyrics speak out and maybe there had been more signs of their relationship being in an unwell state than we could've imagined.

Catalina Borreani

oh you’re the legend! so happy you’re receiving all our love🫶🏼 you are an icon!🩷

Carla

The surprise package at the end was soooooo sweet! I almost cried too!! Wow Laura, that’s so special and you definitely put it so beautifully what this community means to you, me and all of us here! Thank you!!! <3

wen ❤︎

Aww shucks, me beautiful and awesome? You’re too kind! 🥰 You already know that I think your middle name might as well be beautiful-awesome-human, so right back atcha!! And I totally agree with you about bon and em acknowledging our existence being our version of them freaking out over taylor acknowledging theirs. I just love being a swiftie and a chatsandreactsie!! 🫶🏼

Cristina

I think it's nice she removed all rules for the surprise songs... honestly would be better if she keeps replaying the fan favourites that most people would die to get on their night even if it's been played before... nobody would be disappointed to get them + many European fans may have never seen her before so why waste the moment with a less popular song just because of a rule she made up

Annika 📍Melb, AU

Omg they are beautiful! You did such an amazing job! The story behind them is so special! 😍

isabel

the boxes are just so beautiful and so sweet wow that made me cry. i love you girls so much, have really heightened my feelings and views of taylor. love yall 💕🫶🏼

Isabelle

Didn’t expect that I would cry into my peanut butter toast this morning while watching a little surprise song reaction but here we are 😭 the boxes and letters are absolutely amazing!

Vee

Omg the boxes 😭 stop I cried so hard. 🥲🥲🥲

Stevie

The boxes 🗃️ are beautiful. The background story is heartwarming. The Swift universe is a safe haven in crazy times. Love it. And I do want mugs like yours 🤩

Tricia

The boxes??? Omg. So incredibly beautiful and kind and so deserving 🥰🥹

Foxy_Tatty

Okay I was not prepared to cry so much. Laura, you’re amazing! As someone who loves to craft, I understand how much fun it is to create something for someone you love. It’s such a fun experience.

Mex

thank you, it was so fun to think of ways to put the whole experience onto a box for each of them. and getting to meet them in london in august and tell them i love them was such a full circle moment from box and letter to real hugs. what do you craft? woodworking and photography for me with some fabric design and sewing thrown in

Foxy_Tatty

Hi Mex! Good to hear from you! I am just a hyper little crafter. I don’t have one specific thing that I do, but when I have time , I like to dabble in crocheting, sewing, playing with the cricut. During Covid I tried painting, drawing, and I even made a quilt out of old tshirts! I am a court stenographer during the day, so I made a fellow court stenographer Swiftie some gifts. I crocheted her a mini scarf keychain 🧣 and I printed a vinyl sticker of a steno machine, and put the words “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me…you should be” on the screen. Happy crafting, Sweet Mex!

Mex

wow all of that sounds lovely. I was a teacher by profession and sports photographer to supplement my income. the creative side of life is where I always want to be. thanks for the reply!

Momo

Mex and chickens, I'm watching these SS reactions and I'm in tears again. The boxes and the letters just UGH. So much love 😭

JC

I definitely think she did Hey Stephen and Maroon as an F you to Matty Healey. Hey Stephen was MH’s fave/requested song, and Maroon is about him!
