Hey besties!!!

Today we did something a little different and reacted to an interview with Rob Sheffield, a journalist and editor at Rolling Stone who has followed Taylor's career for years and has just released a book about her. A few of you asked us to react, so we did!

Rob's comments sparked a lot of good conversations about Taylor in this video, so we really hope you enjoy!

Have you guys fathomed that snow on the beach is the prequel to down bad? “Flying saucers from another planet” did it for me! It’s also track 4 👀 *learned this from swiftoligist’s podcast*

Jake

I was just thinking of you besties!!! So glad you’re always there for us with the best content.

Lauren

Yassssss!!!! I cannot wait to listen.

Cher

After the first few minutes of this I’m realizing I desperately need a besties sing along event with you all

Lauren Compasso-Yoder

It makes me really happy to see that we picked the same merch items! It feels good to be twinning with both the chickens 🐔

Ash

Please tell me you guys are updated on the billboard tea with their video about Taylor

Silvia

YEEEES

Keri 🫶🏻

I am eagerly awaiting/dreading the last weekend of eras but I wanted you to know watching with you girls and the c&r community the entire way has made the experience even more life changing! Love you two and bring on this weekend!!

broccolit0

omg love this intro yes merch haul plz!!

Mika B

Have you guys watched Wicked yet??

Dawnson D

Commenting this before watching: 1. Thank you for this video! 2. Can't wait to read the Eras Tour book with you guys! 3. Before the next re-recording comes out and whenever that is, I think it is important that we wrap up TTPD with a collective re-fathoming of certain songs (poems) from folklore, evermore and Midnights that you believe that she swirled the smallest man who ever lived in <3

Juliana Martinez

before the final eras tour shows i’d love if you guys watched and reacted to sabrina’s short and sweet tour!

Emily Tusing

Please give us a merch haul ahh!!

Momo

I've MISSED YOU chickens! I know I can always go back to previous vids and I usually do but- new chats content fuels meeee 😂

Momo

😂 Emily I ALWAYS say that the bar is plummeting to the center of the earth 💀

sophie

i needed that video desperately right now

MarkH

Just started watching, but I guess I would say that we all construct our own versions of everyone, not just Taylor. I have a version of my wife in my head, but it is not really her. Everyone here has their own version of Bonny, say, or Emily, and those versions are slightly different from each other. I think the difference with Taylor is that so many many people know about her, so she is a cultural touchstone, and also that she gives us so much more information to work with than a typical celeb. It is inevitable that each of us will choose a different subset of that info, so will construct a different model. As we know, some people just see Shake It Off and nothing else, and some people see a manipulative billionaire and nothing else. But she has given us so much to see that we can go very deep, yet without ever really and truly knowing her.

Katie

I mean it is a holiday weekend in the US, so I think that is why she skipped a weekend before the last shows. But also totally need to mentally prepare so I get it LOL

Rhonda

I’m not sure where people get that Billie wasn’t inspired by Taylor. Billie has said herself that she did…she mentioned being “that” 11 year old girl in school choir that Taylor eluded to…and then watching her and her brother singing Taylor’s songs at awards shows…they both seem like they were inspired to write, compose songs and sing. Thank you for this reaction! Love everything you two do!!!❤️

Katie

I agree with Bonny, I think that Taylor was already considering re-recording before Kelly Clarkson tweeted about her doing it. I think she just sends flowers because she is appreciative of Kelly showing her public support, and she probably also saw fans get excited about that idea and it help encourage her to actually go for it. Also I never thought twice about her re-recording or thought of it as a bad business move. I was excited from the get go to get her first few albums with her more mature voice. But I don't think I grasped how much time and money would go into it. I fully thought one day all six would just show up on Spotify

Michelle Merlau

I believe that after Kelly’s tweet, her own recording company and management team were furious with her. I think Taylor not bringing it up, was initially to keep the fire off of Kelly, maybe??

Katie

RE: Vancouver behind the stage seats - Vancouver can't do any of the fireworks or Bad Blood pirogyphics because of their laws so this is the only show that they are actually able to open the seats behind the stage for. I think they were just cheap because there is no view of the stage and she had to charge something. I don't think there is much more to it then that, but we will see!

chatsandreacts

We are! We considered reacting to their article about her being number 2, but we are so pissed off about the video we aren’t sure if we wanna do that now 😩

ton

Yeah I’m not surprised that she planned to be off over Thanksgiving from the beginning

ton

Pretty sure they said in another vid that it will be happening later (maybe even next year from memory when she’s in Aus)

Momo

Bonny your rant on the ego of a man was so needed for me truly lol

paulina ⭐️

im pretty sure with Taylor’s mastermind business marketing mind + emotional attachment she was thinking about ways of getting her art back the second she found out what these two dickheads maliciously did. I think taylor is grateful for her being bold enough to say something while others were silent. their ideas aligned. taylor seems genuine enough to admit if that would be an idea fully inspired by Kelly

Lively_Ash

I bought his book & it’s really good!

Samantha putnam

Y'all should do several videos with y'all reading a few chapters and then talk about what you think

Katie LaFave

loveee that you're going your hair out em!! big fan

Anjie Crow

I absolutely believe that Kellie Clarkson gave Taylor the idea for the vault tracks when she suggested putting new art on the re-recorded albums. Taylor knew there were a bunch of songs from those eras that were never released and decided to use those vault tracks as the new art Kellie suggested.

Katie LaFave

ok mashup at the beginning loveee

Katie LaFave

not bonny stealing em's job of giving the weather report 😂

ton

I think in the Time interview they talked about how she’s sees herself as the centre of the narrative so I definitely agree that she see the ‘autobiograph’ is her “character” at that time ie her Reputation bad bitch was a character, her Lover character, her 1989 model character etc… not fictional just not journalism as they said

BridgesNotBurned

LOVED the piece about Taylor not being bogged repeating the same successes but changing, and fans not knowing what they want. Reminds me of an iconic quote by Steve Jobs that defined how Apple became who Apple is, and you’re right, it takes a genius, like we all understand Taylor is! ❤️ “Get closer than ever to your customers. So close, in fact, that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves. “More than Apple listening to us, it’s us who listens to Apple.” – Steve Jobs

chatsandreacts

That’s true, we always forget thanksgiving exists 😅

Brenda1989

Didn’t she give Kelly Clarkson credit in her times person of the year interview???

MarkH

I think the idea of rerecording came to Taylor because Jojo had already done it, and Taylor had supported her at the time. Jojo's rerecorded albums came out in December 2018. She mentioned in an interview that Taylor had been supportive of her during her legal battle with her old label, so Taylor definitely knew about it. So I think that Rob is probably right, that Kelly Clarkson was supportive but that Taylor already had the idea.

Katie LaFave

well technically speak now is based on a conversation taylor had with a friend about their high school ex (a lot people think it's hayley williams) not taylor herself

Emma

Regarding the Kelly Clarkson tweet, here’s a quote from the 2023 time person of the year interview Taylor did: https://time.com/6342806/person-of-the-year-2023-taylor-swift/ - Around the same time, she started thinking about rerecording her old albums in an effort to wrest back control. “I’d run into Kelly Clarkson and she would go, ‘Just redo it,’” Swift says. “My dad kept saying it to me too.” - So I guess she was like partially an influence in her finally deciding to do it, confirmed by Taylor

Mex

"bloody bitch camera" - thank you, em, for providing me with a new insult to use when my camera is acting up

Tess7

Loved this video! I just got home from a Thanksgiving trip and this was perfect to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch 😊 On the Kelly Clarkson issue, I’d direct you back to the Time magazine article. Taylor talked about Kelly and Scott (her dad) convincing her the project was worth doing. I think Kelly also gave her the idea to add the vault tracks, she said “add something to make fans buy the new one”. The thing is, re-recording isn’t new. Other artists have done it. Taylor just took it to a new level of success, of course. Kelly fought her label for years for creative control (not to own her work) and finally could break away from them. Prince changed his name to a symbol during the fight with his label. I think he won that one lol. Artists have always had to fight to get the music they wanted to make out to the world. I think Taylor is the one that actually had the labels terrified of what she could do. Who’s afraid? You should be lol I love her. I love you two chickens as well 🫶💕

maya zutra

15 min in and I’m already fucked up by the concerning things you’re saying 🫨🫨😍😍

Savanah Vanzant

I desperately need to know what sizes you guys ordered the new merch in!! You both look GORGEOUS as always🫶🏼

emma 🌷

i got to see rob speak at my local bookstore and it was lovely! also your christmas decor is so cute

hauntedwillow27

OMG YESS hope u liked it bc it changed my life

Kath V.

Didn't she say that her dad suggested to re-record the albums? Which makes sense to me. And then Kelly Clarkson also mentioned it? I think she said that in the Time person of the year article.

Amanda P

you guys slandering Bad Blood but not Me! is truly hurtful haha 😂🩷

Casey Autey

This was the quote where Taylor referenced Kelly Clarkson in the time article ❤️ Around the same time, she started thinking about rerecording her old albums in an effort to wrest back control. “I’d run into Kelly Clarkson and she would go, ‘Just redo it,’” Swift says. “My dad kept saying it to me too. I’d look at them and go, ‘How can I possibly do that?’ Nobody wants to redo their homework if on the way to school, the wind blows your book report away.”

Katie LaFave

you guys should watch the swift effect on peacock! there are 2 episodes out so far

Emma

I know like no one could’ve predicted exactly how she was gonna do this even though she kinda told us how this was gonna go in mad woman.. I’m taking my time TAKING MY TIME Cause you took everything from me

Jade

Thank you for this upload! ❤️❤️❤️

Catarina Saldivar

I don’t think Kelly GAVE Taylor the idea to re-record, something in my mind tells me that Taylor must’ve had that thought the moment she was informed her masters were sold… maybe Kelly’s tweet came as a source of encouragement. I mean, we all know how Taylor likes to appreciate and give credit for other people’s ideas, so if I’d actually been Kelly’s idea, every time she would announce a new re recording, she would feel the NEED to mention Kelly to everyone, you know? (Sorry if I haven’t made myself clear, English is not my first language 🙈)

Alexina Derkaz

Video (series?) request!!! I would LOVE for you to breakdown ALL the music videos! For each album. For fans who were not fans at the time when older videos were released!

Heida

Guys, I Iove Taylor as much as you do but, regardless of Kelly's tweet, artists re-recording their catalogue to own and earn royalties from it isn't exactly a new concept. It had been done before by artists like Prince (who once said "If you don’t own your masters, your master owns you"), TLC, The Everly Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Def Leppard and JoJo to name a few. BUT, unlike SOME of them, she owns a part of the composition rights since she wrote/co-wrote all of her songs. Also, her influence is way bigger in this day and age, with streaming and social media in particular, than any of them at the time (Sidenote: JoJo is disturbingly underappreciated).

Katie LaFave

kelly clarkston actually confirmed that it was a rumor that taylor sends kelly flowers after every re-record! taylor just sent her flowers after fearless tv

Katie LaFave

taylor first announced the re-records on my 16th birthday! august 22nd, 2019 on good morning america

Ali ❤️‍🔥

The conversation about different lyrics hitting everyone differently is so important because I know for me personally one of the most striking lyrics I ever heard in a Taylor song is “you’re a flashback on a film reel on the one screen in my town” and it’s one that I don’t hear others talk about very often. Although I know that it hits soo many swifties in a deep way it’s so interesting to see not only what songs stick with people but what lyrics too!

Katie LaFave

i think taylor already had the idea and then kelly's tweet was almost the validation taylor needed. taylor also mentions this in her TIMES article

Scott

She mentioned Kelly Clarkson as one of the people who said she should do it, but Taylor would already have known about the option of re-recording before Kelly's tweet. Taylor's tour manager is the brother of Def Leppard's drummer. Taylor did a CMT Crossroads episode with the band early in her career. That band was one of the most well know examples of doing re-records prior to Taylor doing them. They released re-recordings of their hit songs around 2012 so after Taylor was already in the business and actively managing her own career.

Lefty

I found it particularly interesting what he said about each of us seeing her through a different lens, taking different observations or inferences. The thing I feel like I've been noticing and paying attention to in particular is Taylor's history of not being popular at school and how it affects her now. I read into the lyrics for The Outside on Genius and an annotation included a poem she wrote in 2017: "And no amount of friends at 25 Will fill the empty seats At the lunch tables of your past The teams that picked you last… But Darling, you keep trying" Every time she takes those long sweeping looks around a crowd, I notice it, and I feel like I can sense her drinking it in, like it feeds her soul. Have a look at her when she won the award for video of the year at the VMAs; when she gets up there and everyone starts chanting "Taylor, Taylor!" she has this long intense look around at everyone and the look in her eyes kind of gives me the vibe that she was flashing back to the 2009 VMAs when she thought everyone was booing her, and letting this moment heal her., "this is my reality now".

Katie LaFave

bad blood is soooo underrated! is it my fav on 1989? no, but it's also not my least fav! i just love the verses and the backing vocals in the last chorus

Katie LaFave

just when i think i'm over the election it gets brought up in this way and i want to cry again

Katie LaFave

as an american, i think taylor took this week off cuz of thanksgiving

Lu Miraelmar

Apparently there are rules in vancouver (or the stadium idk specifically) against pyrotechnics, so those seats are in the sections that would be closed because of the fireworks and bad blood fire. Obviously she could have not sold them so it's still a choice, but that's why it didn't happen sooner

Heida

Sending you love from Iceland ❤

Lu Miraelmar

I think the tickets said "video viewing only" in that case it would be video from a screen of the show + live music (so better than just listening tickets). For $15 that is awesome

kylinb

Just woke up from a 5 hour nap to this 🫶🏻

Marisa Landsverk

She needed the weekend off because it’s American Thanksgiving this week and she wanted to see her family.

Jade

I would love a review and discussion on this book. I read it and it is an incredibly done history of our girl.

Isabel Victoria

His voice/vibe kinda reminds me of Aaron in a way

Ali ❤️‍🔥

“She’s not Lana deal Rey” literally took the words out of my mouth 😂😂😭 so hard to be a Lana stan

Isabel Victoria

I do have to say in regards to Taylor not doing the same thing again even though fans may want it, I think she pulls it off because she actually does it so well and her style and sound and production and vibe all changes with each era. But then I think about bands who have tried to change up their style; Mumford & Sons comes to mind specifically, their first 2 albums had this amazing bluegrass/folk type of vibe that nobody else was really doing at the time but then they went a more rock direction and it just did not hit the same way. I really wonder what it is about Taylor that makes her get away with the drastic shifts so well. She really is just such a pro.

Jaden

Bonnie is her meteorologist era😭😭😭

Sara Brannon

Would you consider doing a book club video series with this book? Like put out a schedule of when you’re going to release videos discussing specific chapters and then we can either read along with you or just watch the videos if we don’t have time to read. Might be a fun post-tour series!

Katie

Ooh interesting! I have never thought of that lyric directly related to the re-records before. I always just interpreted it as she is not just going to move on or get over it.

Lisa

can't wait to read this book! Sidenote: do u guys ever think about ... how Taylors Mum said to a fan at secret sessions that towards the end of the SN tour, Taylor was heartbroken and was backstage writing, and she was bouncing lyrics with her band around ... that were early stages of the song and part of ATW10 ... and ... that ... it was recorded by someone. Holy Ground right there ... hopefully when we get the rerecord doco ... which we are all manifesting ... we will get to see this ... eeeee. Think about this all the damn time!

Bradi R

This is one of my favorite videos from you guys ever!! I loved this discussion and how you guys spoke about it. To me Taylor is just my artist, my pop star, and discussions like this make me realize THAT in ITSELF is an absolute marvel

Jenny MacRunnel

I notice this too...I always want to just give her a hug when I think about it. I always struggled with friends, and I'm not always great in social situations....so maybe that's why I notice it. I'm probably projecting myself onto her, even though I do think its a big part of her psyche.

Mary 🫶🏻🇨🇦

Oh yes merch talk with clothes and ornaments? Love it! You’re both so cute 😂 I’m excited you did this video, I asked for Rob’s book for Christmas!

Jenny MacRunnel

I'm definitely buying and reading this book! Another Taylor book to read...YES! I love when other Swifties write about her!

ton

I wonder if those behind the stage tickets are only for the last show. Part of me wonders if the last show doesn’t need things happening in that area cos there are no more shows so the need for access back there is different so they can do it for that show only. But yes it might be to do something although I don’t really want the focus on an announcement to over ride the actual tour itself. LAST SHOW is so important to CELEBRATE! I do wonder at Taylor Nation saying WATCH the BBMA which are on the 12 December for a possible announcement to drop for her birthday 🥳

Deborah

I would absolutely love to see all of your Taylor merch at some point!! And stories behind where you got them! Etc!

sy

this book is very very very wholesome

Emma

Yes and I don’t know if you meant this or not but I’d be so up for them actually reading the book in the video and discussing as they react to what they read. Rather than just discussing and having read it on their own to prepare. Idk I really appreciate including both the chat AND reacts part if possible to stuff rather than just chats. Unless it’s like a refathoming ofc, love those and then it’s mostly chats, but that usually requires us to have had the react part at some point previously, so yeah if it something that seems fun to them a chat & react to the book in videos would be fun where they read in the video and react and then chat along the way. BUT if this is not something they wanna do, just a video (or just included in some video) after you’ve read the book discussing everything you’ve marked and thought about while reading would be fun too ofc❤️❤️🫶

Shannon

I heard that they can’t have any fireworks or pyro so that leaves room in the back now!

Elias

Yesssss i would love a merch collection video!!

chatsandreacts

It really is wild!! Maybe its because her fans connect with her stories and her feelings more than they do any genre?

Zosia Dabrowski

Love the fb tag group "The bar for men is so low it's a tavern in Hades"

Lauren

Oh I loved this! He totally fathoms. The part about us constructing a 'Taylor' in our own personal way really spoke to me. I see myself in so many parts of Taylor, like debut/fearless era brings out my inner teen who just wants to dance in her room in her pj's. Speak now/Red are the emotional connection for me. And further albums bring out different version of myself even more. May have cried writing this 😅😭 I love us

Natalie

I was JUST thinking you guys should do a merch collection video!! 💖 Would love to see everything you’ve collected over the years. 🫶🏻

Zosia Dabrowski

Omg this speaks to my soul <3 This is another piece of myself that I really connect to in Taylor. "No wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I've been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless." As a formerly bullied undiagnosed AuDHD gifted child, I feel my social experience in childhood was similar to hers, down to how my Mum was my best friend and always there for me.

ton

Interesting, thanks

ton

Although it looks like the Jonas brothers did when they played there so could be false news

ton

Great idea… totally agree…

maya zutra

Yes for the merch hall video!!!🤗

ttpd-24

Missed y’all, um I need like a weekly podcast - actually noo we need to gatekeep you haha. But yes chats and reacts pop culture & Taylor Swift .. Can you think of going over evermore another fathom again after all that’s happened the past two years

Emily Hughes

Love this genre of video for you guys! I recently listened to Taffy Brodesser-Akner (iconic novelist and writer for NYT) on Sentimental Garbage podcast. Such a wholesome, intelligent and thoughtful discussion on what Taylor means to her as a writer. Definitely recommend if you (or anyone else) are looking for something else along these lines.

Nevara PUMPKIN Shaw

Omg you ladies need to start giving us surprise song mashups with the Eras tour ending! That one was perfect 😍

Kay Kay

Kelly talked about it in and interview once and someone asked if she gave taylor the idea and if i remember correctly she said like i threw it out there and im sure she was already on it but she does send me flowers every time she drops a TV album so maybe a little bit

Courtney D

“People often greatly underestimate me on how much I’ll inconvenience myself to prove a point…” this quote from the Tribeca Talks really summed up her determination about the rerecord process, so much extra work for her, but she seemed to always know it would be worth it

monika

Omg girls, I just bought this book yesterday and did not know this interview with Rob exists! Thank you so much for reacting to this, Rob is an absolutely iconic man! Can’t wait to read the book! Thank you chickenssss 💗🫶🏻

Annie

i'm pretty sure it was her dad's idea originally to re record, but now I cannot remember where I saw that...that it was her dads idea and then Kelly publicly suggested it and also made her consider it...if someone knows what I am talking about please lmk. lol Also tay has an interview on Elvis Duran where she kind of goes off about the recordings not being a business deal at all, but something that she feels very strongly about and that she wants all artists to own their work.

Anika W

feeling slightly insane bc i scored behind the stage tix for the final show in the TM drop and planned a whole international trip in two days LOLLL

Annie

could not imagine thinking bad blood is not a good song though (her worst??!). bad blood was bled so reputation could serve..

Micra

Girls I have a video idea for you that would deeply help me understand better 😂😂😂 I officially became a Swiftie with Folklore. That really spoke to me. I knew Reputation and 1989 just by the single she had on the radio at the time and while I enjoyed them I never loved them (now I do!). Previous albums were never played on Italian radios so I was not aware of them. I would like you to talk about Taylor'signle choises. They always sound off to me. Even with TTPD I really don't get why Fortnight was the leading single. Most people know her from what the radio plays and that is most of the time not in line with the whole album concept/melody/deepness... Thoughts? 😅 TIA

aubrey

I thoroughly enjoyed. I am so thrilled for the final weekend! I got the eras tour book!! And now it seems like there is another book that I will have to read! New romantics as a favorite is always so fascinating to me because it doesn't feel like a whole and true "taylor" song to me. But I alsooooo love it so much. It's almost like it was made in a vacuum of all of the versions of herself. Which I feel like ties into mirrorball which is interesting!! It feels like it could be an AI taylor swift song. But in the best way obviously.

megsterg

I loved the whole discussion on Taylor and her "characters"! It's so interesting to think about because as a fandom we focus so hard on the autobiographical nature of her music. But in her folkmore set speech when talking about her song writing, she's mentioned many times about "feeling a feeling for 4 seconds" and writing about it. So I think more often than maybe we think she has a feeling and fleshes out a whole story/song about that feeling without it actually affecting her or being as big of a deal as the song would lead you to believe to her real, personal life. Take Guilty as Sin? for instance. Does writing that song mean the events of the song played out? Not necessarily. She could have just thought like "damn, that man is sexy, I'd hit that" kind of thing lol. But then in a song dove into a story on someone in a relationship fantasizing about someone else. Sorry, that's my favorite TTPD song so that's the first example that popped into my head! But I think that's what Rob means by "characters" or at least that's how I take it.

aubrey

If we do not get a re recording documentary or eras tour documentary or BOTH !! ... I will RIOT !!!!! :)

Micra

I have almost finished the book and he does touch on this topic but would love your thoughts

Sarah Clark

Yes to the merch haul! 🫶🏻

Carol

Aniiikkaaaaa!!! How are you typing so casually!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Carol

I would 100% watch an entire video of Bonny and Em mashing up songs from the set list

Carol

This felt like an infinity mirror… your reactions to Rob are how we all react to you two superior chickens 🫶✨

Carol

Yes! 🙌🫶✨

Takara

I’ve heard a lot about Kelly inspiring the idea, but I think even if she planted the seed in Taylor’s mind I don’t think even Kelly could’ve predicted where it would end up as a whole project, and for that reason I don’t think Kelly would claim credit for the idea. I also suppose it wasn’t unheard of for an artist to re-record, just not on the level that Taylor has

Anika W

hahah i have been bursting into tears about it every few hours for days now but also like in shock

Carol

I chuckled at the girls not saying this too.. I know that they know of course. I interpret it more as good tour scheduling… she could have had more weekends in December or ended in Toronto… but she added the last weekend after thanksgiving and after what was hopefully a recharging time with loved ones.

Carol

I need a C&R channel that reacts to Bonny and Em videos 😂 Imagine a video about how the Eras tour experience was heightened for so many of us simply because of Bonny and Em and TessDear ✨✨✨

Tessa Taylor

Yess merch haul!! 😍 you guys have the best collection

Bobhog

When you said ”This woman will be crying”, I thought ”Bonny will be crying” and then ”Bonny’s already crying”. Thank you for your tears Bonny, they make me feel seen <33

Mart

I really needed this energy today🙏😄

Alison

Loved this (& a great start to my Sunday morning!). A future video idea:- a break down interview with a tour photographer (if one exists?). Love the images from this tour & would love to know more…

Caroline

Have you guys watched the Vox video about why Style is a perfect song? Highly recommend!

Julia

The way my jaw dropped to the floor when Madeline said this 🤯 it makes so much sense!!

Sarah Louise

I just want to say, thank you for the silly chicken nonsense at the start of your patreon videos, they really make me giggle, please never edit them out! 🫶

Lia

My father loves mirrorball SO he’s a superior man🥰

natis_georce13

im pretty sure in the person of the year interview she said her dad was telling her it is a good idea and kelly was also supportive of her by saying just do it.

Daniel K

Um… that merch is EPIC!

Mayra

Can someone fact check me, I was under the impression that Demi lovato put the fifth harmony group together on the show. Like Simon cowell did with one direction.

Alison

Love this idea. Always wanted to be part of a book club & would love the structure & fathoming together.

claudia jones

I’m pretty sure… I might be remembering wrong but Taylor mentioned Kelly Clarkson in her Time Person of the Year interview and her dad had mentioned it too, it seems like there was a few people that helped lead her to the re-records xx

majesticwestwick

Taylor also had a more gradual rise to fame, which probably helped her adjust to it better. (Compared to so many artists like 1 Direction who blew up overnight).

Natty Vee

On the topic of people just blindly not liking her and thinking all of her music sounds the same. At the start of the year, my brother and sister-in-law got married and I was one of her three bridesmaids. She constantly complained to me about how her MOH kept butting heads with her over different decisions and how complicated it was getting working together with the other two bridesmaids, but how much she appreciated that I was just happy to do whatever she wanted because it was her day. She knows how much I love Taylor and has always been very vocal of her dislike of her. Because I helped so much with the wedding planning and didn't argue at all with any of her decisions and even wore heels for nearly 5 hours straight when I didn't want to and shouldn't have (I have a back injury and my physio blatantly told me not to wear heels at all, she wanted me to at least wear them for the ceremony and photos but ended up wearing them 4+ hours longer than she promised to me), and I also always help out her and my brother with their dog when they need a pet sitter. So, come the day of the wedding and once the music and dancing started, I thought since I had been such a fucking trooper about the whole thing, surely she would be nice and let me pick one Taylor song (her opinion when I mentioned playing a Taylor song at the wedding leading up to it was all her songs sound like Shake It Off and she hates that song, so no). I went and asked her if I could request just one Taylor song for the whole night and that it wouldn't be Shake It Off (I was going to pick Enchanted), and she yelled at me for asking and said under no circumstances was I to request a Taylor song at all because she hates her. It really upset me and I had a bit of a cry about it in the bridal room with my cousins for a hot minute then just went back out and continued the night. I don't think she knows how much it upset me, and I won't tell her because I don't want to start an argument. The absolute dagger to the heart was about a month later, she heard Cruel Summer and Lavender Haze on the radio and told me she really liked those songs and omfg wow surprise, surprise, not all her music sounded like Shake It Off! I was sooooo fucking angry when she told me that, because she wouldn't believe me when I kept telling her that. I'm in the same boat as pretty much everyone else when they say they aren't fans of Taylor's music if they've actually listened to more than a couple of singles here and there, but I get so upset at people like my sister-in-law who just say they don't like her because that's what media tells them to think about her. I just wish people wouldn't be so quick to judge without putting any effort into actually exploring an artist before declaring they don't like them or their music. Sorry for the big ass comment, love you both and I am too scared to think of the final 3 shows coming in a week :')

Another perfect start to my Sunday. Iconic video💕💕💕

I love that you reacted to this interview, thank you! I just finished this book last night and adore it - finally, it feels so right that someone is taking Taylor, her art and her business decisions seriously in a piece of long form content (i.e I know Rob Sheffield has written wonderfully about her as a journalist, but I've been yearning for something meatier to sink my teeth into!). It's so cool to read from a different perspective in the industry too: from a journalist and industry insider from a different generation who has experienced other periods of music and cultural history. In that way, there are some parts that made me sit and think - like his discussion of Taylors Versions. As you mentioned, as a collective, we had a very different reaction to those in the music biz. I would never have considered how much of a 'career suicide' some industry people thought it was! In the same way, I did question a few parts of the book, but mostly minor things - like attributing lyrics to a muse I would never pair up ('State of Grace' lyrics for Harry??). Probably just a disconnect from fan dialogue about Taylor's songs, the easter eggs and theories. Anyway, I would loveee your thoughts on the book after you've read it - there's so much in there to discuss! I do feel like the end of the book was rather rushed, though this is probably because his publishers wanted to get it out just before the end of the Eras Tour, and because Taylor surprise dropped TTPD in the midst of him writing it. I really hope Rob follows up with a part two that dives deeper into her later albums - from folkmore and onwards. Especially as, since 2020, her career and artistry has just grown and evolved in such amazing ways. I also think it's significant considering how much Rob appreciates and respects Taylor following the whole Billboard debacle. What are your thoughts on that? I still can't believe it - it's disgusting. As someone who works in media, I know how many approvals stages content like that need. So, I can only make assumptions about the kind of people who work at Billboard and not only their opinions on Taylor but also on women in general. Finally - sorry for the long message! - what are your thoughts about Lana's new album?! And it not being Lasso? xx

Caroline

Aw I love the Christmas tree!!!!

Isabel Victoria

Yes! Honestly I do think that’s what it comes down to. The songwriting in general is what shines, in combination with Taylor being so authentic. It allows us to feel like we know her and creating that with her fans has taken the fandom to an unattainable level for most artists!

Aly

The statement about how he knew in 2011 that she was going to raise girls to do incredible things made me cry. Even beyond girls in music industry, I just feel that so deeply as a woman who grew up with her and is now on my own career path. I truly need to credit her confidence and work ethic as a major influence on my own and getting to be part of these re-records has beckoned me to reclaim my own past and girlhood of what brought me where I am today. Big sister Tay will always be so superior! Wow feeling some things 🥰 Ahh I can’t to read! Would love a post-reading reflection!

Kim

I cried so much during this video. Taylor has gotten me through so much since I became a Swiftie in 2006. I think my song would be Change.

Caroline

I’d love a merch vid ☺️

sofie sandrini

I wouldn't need a mercy haul, HOWever, I do be needing Blue Banister breakdown

Starbuck1234!

My interpretation of her re-recording decision was that she has been in the business a long time and is the smartest woman in the room. I think she knew about re-recordings and that she could do that prior to Kelly Clarkson making that tweet. However, Kelly’s tweet also suggested adding songs to it and just supporting her, maybe those two points actually made her decide to do it. Or give her the courage to do it. Remember the timing was a lot different than it is now. I’m not sure she had the courage to do it, but I do think it is not a business move but the owning her work is more important. That is why she is going to re-do ALL her work even if Scooter did not buy those. It’s ALL her songs that she wrote and are hers, she wants to own them all. So, I think she had the idea to do it but maybe Kelly’s tweet was so supportive and maybe gave her the courage to do it at that time by adding new music. The fact that she gets the flowers says that the tweet meant a lot to her. Hopefully we will find out just how significantly in the documentary.

sierra

it’s also thanksgiving weekend! 😂🦃 like it definitely works with the fact that there’s a break right before the last show but also everyone wants to be home for thanksgiving i’m sure she’s no different ❤️

Ellie

I mean I think the reason people keep constantly being surprised by Taylor Swift, that is non-fans, is because people constantly and continuously disrespect and underestimate her. She constantly comes up with new things and people constantly have something bad to say. And this furthers Emily's point there that the people who gave her the benefit of doubt when Folklore and Evermore came out are now back to being haters. Because it's "cool" to hate the popular thing, right? And she is at the top of her career, she is the most popular person on the planet at the moment but you are just "cool" for hating her because you're different from everyone else. It's this mentality of "Oh I must not be mainstream otherwise I'm boring". I don't know when people would fathom that that's just utter bull. Being a decent human being, having respect and appreciation (even if it's not your taste in music. This is completely valid, we don't claim or need everyone to love the exact same thing) for what is actually GOOD art makes you cool. I can't remember what film or book it was from but someone said "you are most powerful when others underestimate what you can do" and Taylor is an absolute living example of that. We see her constantly reinventing hersefl. Writing her own music to this day, based on her own life, constantly giving us more to love. And people still talk trash about her. But the thing they don't realise is that they are STILL TALKING ABOUT HER. And the thing is if something hasn't touched you in some way you don't have anything to say about it, so her art has done something to you. So why would you not open your mind and listen and explore? Because of the need to be "cool". I also massively agree that the Taylor effect is what the music industry is experiencing at the moment. We just went through a year where young female artists absolutely dominated not just the charts but also the conversations people have on their day to day. And all of these females were inspired by Taylor Swift but none of them (and that is not to say they don't have their own unique strengths) do it quite like Taylor. No one writes a song like Taylor Swift does. No one is as involved in the process and no one uses lyrics, melodies, production and eventually video/performance to tell a cohesive story. A lot of artists have brilliantly written song with an absolutely banging production, catchy melody and a great live performance and each of these factors individually is absolutely the best ot the best in quality but they don't tell a coherent story. Show me another song like Down Bad where the production SOUNDS like aliens descending down to earth, abducting a human and doing experiments. This is what the production is, this is what the lyrics are telling you, this is what the live performance is showing and it's coherent and very, very understandable. The reason Taylor achieves this is because she is first and foremost a storyteller, the greatest we have had and will have in our life time. She has the idea of what she wants a song to tell people and she makes sure absolutely each element tells this story. And no one else does that.

Ari

Yes, she mentioned her dad & Kelly being the ones who encouraged the re-recording in her Time interview. I think Kelly was the one that suggested adding the vault tracks as a fan incentive.

Téa Cook

i would love a merch haul!!!

Alison

I kinda hate that it's seen as "aggressive" and a "power move" for her to re-record her albums.. as a long time fan, I feel like it was obvious she would do that. It ended up being good for her career but there was no proof it would be when she decided to do it. If S**** or S****er thought her songs should belong to her, none of this would have happened. That's misogyny though - women wanting what is rightfully theirs and demanding equal space and men with fragile egos feeling threatened by it.

Veronika Wieser

Loved the reaction you guys did on this interview!🫶 What a superior man! Also would love to see a reaction on Sabrina's Christmas special on Netflix. Please, please, please!🙏🤩🎄

Rachel Gresser

Ahh I’m so happy to see you reacting to this and that you have the book!! I’m listening to it now as an audiobook and it’s SO GOOD!!! I hope you decide to react to it or at least to parts of it!

Stephanie Lynn

I would absolutely LOVE you guys to do a video showing every single piece of Taylor merch that you own 🫶🏻

libby

taylor confirmed it kelly’s idea in the times person of the year magazine!!

KC

Just finished the interview recap and promptly bought Rob’s book lol - died when Emily called out the bar for men being in hell 😂

Leigh

I'm not even 20 minutes in and already so much to discuss! The line about taylor creating character in her stories I personally interpreted in quite a mathematical way (bonny i know you love maths!) So my take is if taylor is experiencing an emotion at say 50% intensity and wants to write a song about it she then would feel like she has to up the intensity in the song to 75% because as listeners we have a certain amount of removal from the situation and music will not ilicit the same intensity of emotion purely because we are not experiencing the same things shes experiencing so if she wrote it exactly at her intensity (50) we might only experience it at a 25% for example - if she wants us to listen and feel the same way she does she has to up it to 75% for us to feel it at 50 - the original way she felt it I don't even know if that makes sense but thats they way i thought of it! Taylor has to change her character slightly in order for us to understand her because as fantastic as music is it can never replicate the real emotions and thoughts by a specific person not to the same intensity and also probably because she does remove some things she might be feeling because they might feel way too personal to share (even more personal than she gives us) and so she has to figure out a way to convey those without giving too much of herself at the same time - i.e. giving the difference between taylor the writer and the taylor in the song

Swiftie_triomixer

The way I interpreted the Kelly Clarkson “giving Taylor the idea to re-record” is that she tweeted something about adding vault songs to make the Taylor’s Versions stand out a bit more than “just” her mature vocals on the same songs…

Breezy Bumbles

It makes me so happy when you guys are silly chickens!!

Jaimie C

i agree, It just might have been the public support from Kelly meant the world to her and gave her the extra courage she needed, or idea on how to give everyone an incentive to listen and taylor thought up the vault tracks as the incentive. i think i remember an interview Kelly had on Jimmy Fallon about her being supportive of Taylor's re-records and Kelly had said that she absolutely felt strongly about Taylor owning her music because Taylor's music is like her diaries since she writes all her own songs. Kelly then even said that it wouldn't have mattered to herself personally as much because she (kelly) doesn't write her own music. just thought it was so nice to hear Kelly being so supportive of Taylor and also making it clear that Taylor writes her own songs, while also not being afraid to admit that she doesn't write her own songs. supportive queen :) I also hope we find out more in a doc.

Pamela Jahrmarkt

I bought 3 copies of this book and received already. One for myself as Xmas gift for myself, one for my niece and one for my bestie -all Swifties!

Jaimie C

makes sense to me! my brain understands your math :) i also wonder too if when taylor says she is writing more autobiographical again that people confuse it for 100% 'factual diary entries' like 100% of the song are things that actually happened? i interpret it to be 10-30% factual diary entry details (sometimes more), and like 75-100% autobiographical in her personal feelings. i think Down Bad is a perfect example of it - autobiographical in the feeling of being shown the world then being ghosted (and amps up that feeling like you said so we feel it), but it's a whole other world taylor created in that song where she sprinkles in maybe 10-20% of actual events, which is where i think Taylor's storytelling genius shines - like you say the difference between taylor the writer & the version of 'taylor' created in the song. i agree that Rob wasn't saying she doesn't write from personal experiences but just that she is so dedicated in created the best art she can, with the best storyline & best melodies, which does inherently then lean into creating a character of sorts, all while still holding the pen. i do also believe that taylor gives us a curated version of herself, one where we feel like we know her, she knows this and is a master at 'letting us in' but only as much as she wants to. ah i'm rambling now lol ok the end

Sivan Moshe

Regarding the Listening Only tickets for Vancouver - I think they're doing it only in Vancouver because that specific stadium doesn't allow pyrotechnics, so no fireworks

LindseyMarie

Only 4 minutes in and oh my gosh, I just love your happy, silly selves, you make my heart and my face smile SO MUCH 🤗🥰🫶🫶

vlada

Now we expect a mashup at the beginning of every video ahahahha

Breezy Bumbles

I forget if you guys talked about that Dave Grohl insulted Taylor at one of his shows? My soul died a little that day because I always loved him and he even jammed out with Taylor and a party. I never would have thought he would say anything like that about her.

Anni

i have no idea about how this would work but what if she opened up the seats behind the stage because she's going to go through THE DOOR ?

Rebecca

The bar for men bring in hell, 💯 correct! Thanks Emily! This was a great post, definitely buying this book! 🫶

Alexis Brusby

Wait did I miss something? Or did you say if you guys were gonna livestream or not?

Miriam

Rob is such a wholesome, iconic man. You can tell he knows what he's talking about and I love that. So refreshing!

Sam

THEEEEE American Idol Kelly Clarkson absolutely gave her the idea and she has thanked her for it!

Sam

And if it wasn’t her literal idea, I’m sure it was just very encouraging for Taylor to actually do it :)

Laura Stimpfl

They did talk about it, in a surprise songs reaction video I think. Bonny went OFF for a good while 😂

Ally ❤️

Others had taken back their name/music by re-recording (Reba McIntyre and Prince pulling the “Artist formerly known as” move)… Kelly suggested it because Reba (her MIL at the time) had done it… Taylor sends her flowers every time she releases a new re-record. Who knows whether Taylor had thought about that first or not?

Ally ❤️

I think The Beach Boys tried as well… But surely Taylor has done it the most successfully!

Ally ❤️

The flowers make me lean more toward Kelly likely making her think about it… Kelly said it in a reply to Taylor’s post about Scooter purchasing. So really ground zero at a time when Taylor was still reeling in shock.

Lively_Ash

I do not understand the hate of Bad Blood. It’s a great bop! It’s fun! It’s petty! There are so many other songs I would rank below Bad Blood!

Lex

He’s definitely a mirror ball sun, atw 10 moon, and New Romantics rising

Andrea

omg merch haul yes plz!! i love all your merch items girlss

Alexia 🫶🏻

I would LOVE a merch haul!!!! Also why did a think that tree was so much bigger til you reached back and started pulling ornaments off it 😂

Alexia 🫶🏻

I think I also need a list of men that pass the “wholesome man” test for ya’ll😂

Amy

I feel the same way! Obviously Bad Blood isn't one of her best but it certainly isn't the worst in my opinion. I personally think a song like A Perfectly Good Heart would have to fall lower than Bad Blood but that's just me lol

Heida

Kinda yes. Demi was one of the judges on X Factor at the time, as was Simon, Britney and LA Reid. I don't remember exactly who it was who came up with the idea to put them in a group or if it was a joint effort though. Btw, I like Simon (which may be controversial) and he does usually know what he's talking about, but Nicole Scherzinger is actually the one who came up with the idea to put 1D together. Simon just gets all the credit.

bodiielectriic

great video, i think she took this past weekend off because of Thanksgiving. I'm excited for next weekend tho.. we are surely getting something. Hoping for REP TV

Rachel B

We deeply need a book review when y’all finish Rob’s book so we can have a book club moment to discuss everything❤️

Lively_Ash

Exactly! You get it! 🫶🫶

emma 🌷

would love to know what you think your taylor star sign songs are! 🌟✨

Cristina

I think the idea of rerecording was pretty common in the fandom even before she announced it.. That's why the interviewer asked... So I think Taylor had that idea already either by herself or from the fans... Maybe Kelly's tweet was supporting or validating coming from another artist so Taylor sends flowers out of that cammaderie

Eirini

I’m not sure if anyone has already said this, but I think she did an interview where she talked about her father having that idea, and her initial reaction being “this sounds like doing your homework again, who wants to do that?” But then Kelly also said that, and she told her in person a bunch of times “just redo it” and she started thinking that maybe she would be able to do it and it would be fun etc… I can’t remember which interview it is, I have a cage feeling that it was a British show? Not sure at all

Gabi

I’m thinking about how whatever outfits she chooses to wear for the last show are gonna feel like the favorite

Laura R

I feel this man is the Aaron Dessner of music journalism. Wholesome, knowledgeable, and deeply iconic.

Laura R

I also seem to remember Kelly clarifying in some interview that Taylor sent her flowers just one time (maybe after the first re-recording); it was just the internet that somehow turned it into "Taylor sends Kelly flowers every time she releases a re-record." It made it seem to me that it wasn't so much that Kelly gave her the idea to re-record but that Taylor was really grateful for Kelly's outspoken support whether Taylor had fully decided to re-record at the time that Kelly tweeted or not.

Laura R

Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner, Scott Swift, Robb Sheffield, Sam Lansky (Time interviewer) -- probably top the list of wholesome men who have seriously given Taylor her flowers!

Laura R

This is so interesting because Gracie talked about intentionally dialing up the emotion she was feeling to its largest form when she was writing her most recent album!

Laura R

One more thought on the re-record of it all. I think even if you took all the business risk out of the equation, Taylor still would have re-recorded as a means of taking Scooter out of the equation. The man was using his power over her masters to keep her from performing old songs on awards show broadcasts; I know that power probably stopped when the time limit on her being allowed to re-record passed, but him owning her masters surely had other ramifications... like allowing people to use her music in movies and such. I suppose they could still ask to use the old ones, but the fact that the re-recordings exist makes it much more likely that people will come to Taylor asking for those permissions.

Emma Baumert

I wasn’t able to get my hands on the $15 tickets to the final nights of the tour and now those tickets are reselling for over $600. It’s super sad that they were just randomly open and not made sure they were getting into the hands of fans . So glad for everyone who is able to get tickets!!

Sara Garrity

Gals I would die for a merch hall video

Sydney

I wanna see all your merch!

Jenna

As for the $15 seats, I don't think it's weird at all! People already gather outside every stadium to sing and dance with other swifties so to be able to do it inside, it would just be like one big listening party! I also heard rumors she's maybe filming this last weekend and wants the stadium to look fuller... who knows

Mia Gregorio

i love this interview and everything he says.. can’t wait for more reactions of taylor things 👏🏻👏🏻

Madeline

Girls, so nice to see you again <3 Superior video!! I discovered a new artist which I think you might like to react to one day: BIRKSIE <3 (Noah Kahan vibes but more pop)

Christiana Somers

It’s also Thanksgiving weekend so it makes sense for her to take the time off to be with family.

Eirini

We really need the girls to see this 😅

Gabriela

Omg you girls saying one direction… I’d love anyyy one direction reaction or anything one direction ❤️❤️❤️🫶

Robyn Baillie

GUYS!! She gave credit to Kelly Clarkson & her Dad in the Time person of the year interview!!!!!!!! It says: Swift rallied her fans against the deal, but still felt powerless. “I was so knocked on my ass by the sale of my music, and to whom it was sold,” she says. “I was like, ‘Oh, they got me beat now. This is it. I don’t know what to do.’” Around the same time, she started thinking about rerecording her old albums in an effort to wrest back control. “I’d run into Kelly Clarkson and she would go, ‘Just redo it,’” Swift says. “My dad kept saying it to me too. I’d look at them and go, ‘How can I possibly do that?’ Nobody wants to redo their homework if on the way to school, the wind blows your book report away.” Since Swift wrote her own songs

Andrea Reader

Someone may have said this already, but the rolling stone interview with the car accidents was with a man named Brian Hiatt, so not this man lol

Brianna Suarez

his book is so so good!! i’m about half way through highly recommend everyone to read it he just gets it

lane ♡︎

I loved this video, I think we talk about so many things that Taylor is doing at the moment zoomed in but talking about her legacy and zooming out to really understand what’s happening before us is a great conversation to have, especially with new swifties who are also learning ☺️

Hannah

Have to read this book! This was such a fun and cosy watch guys 🫶

Hannah

Bonny absolutely calling the stupidity: you accuse her of not writing her own songs BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOOD. And still pretend that she has no talent.

WeatherJoy

I mean on needing this weekend off. It’s a huge holiday in States. Thanksgiving. But I also think it was good to take a weekend off regardless before last one.

Leah Rose

I'd also say for reputation that Taylor really did employ a different kind of character for the tour specifically. She uses that exact kind of description in the Rolling Stone interview from 2019. Here's the quote "In the Reputation secret sessions I kind of had to explain to my fans, “I know we’re doing a new thing here that I’d never done before.” I’d never played with characters before. For a lot of pop stars, that’s a really fun trick, where they’re like, “This is my alter ego.” I had never played with that before. It’s really fun. And it was just so fun to play with on tour — the darkness and the bombast and the bitterness and the love and the ups and the downs of an emotional-turmoil record." I think this gets at exactly what Rob is saying in that Taylor does play characters to get across a concept or an idea but the emotions always come from a very real place. She's done this for a while I feel, like mentioning Speak Now Taylor was a good early example that Bonny brought up. Taylor is always writing I think from a very real place, even folklore and evermore to me were her most relatable albums despite the narratives being the most fictional. She's an incredible story teller, she is an expert at taking her feelings and putting them into worlds she's constructed, whether it's the narrative or the production. Ugh. I love her lol.

Annie

the Times article...of course! thank you!

Leah Rose

I started applauding lol So true!!

Nele

4 minutes in and I can already tell the vibes in this video are IMMACULATE

Geneva

Wait gals, just need to correct you that Taylor has confirmed Kelly and Scott Swift had both given her the idea at the same time to re-record. She said it in an interview. It's also why Taylor sends Kelly flowers every time a re-recording comes out! Don't you remember that coming out?

Amanda Saul

It was Thanksgiving weekend I think that’s another reason she waited ;)

Mika B

Just wanted to ask, are you guys okay? In one of the previous videos you said you were going through a lot of things, so I'd love to know if you're okay. Ily!!💞💞

Nancy

Idk if you guys have seen the Kacey Musgraves Christmas special before but it's well worth a watch and react before Christmas, especially with the Sabrina one coming out soon too

meredith

I’m sure someone has already said this but it seems buried in the chat lol - I saw that they sold the behind the stage seats because Vancouver does not allow pyrotechnics so there’s no fireworks back there. Otherwise people may have been scorched lol

M

Yes to merch haul please 😍 including non-clothing items too!!

Ashley

My husband became a fan once he listened to folklore. His rankings have since develped and 1989 is his second fav. Folklore did a great job introducing new people to her catalog, and as long as ppl are open to giving new music a try, they will find all her albums have something for them!

I know IM definitely upset w how the election turned out….. we’ll see how the rest of life goes HA i did my part 🥲 great video!!! such amazing comments and chats yall had, really kept me intrigued in what else was going to be spoked about. love yallllll

Diana

Absolutely loved this interview and this guy!!! It reminded me of this podcast called ‘Switched on Pop’ of two guys who dissect Taylor’s songs and they’re always praising her for her melody and songwriting skills! You guys should definitely check it out and if possible react to their episode on the tortured poets department, where they referred to it as Taylor’s “literary era”. It was very interesting to hear this perspective and the references to literature and poems. Here’s the link if you guys want to listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/switched-on-pop/id934552872?i=1000653309438 Love you guys 🤍

Candice Plendl

I believe BC Place doesn’t allow pyrotechnics, so the back sections are not in the danger zone of fire, which is why they opened it up.

Hattie

You guys would die reacting to a Sabrina Carpenter concert. It’s so illegalll

Carol Tricarico

Will she go through the orange door for these fans who can't see the show?

Rebecca Ryan

You guys need to respond to Travis saying his favorite songs include DBATC from tiny desk and Cowboy like me (in addition to Blank Space, So High School and The Alchemy)!!

Riley Bidwell

“Hearing big Taylor Swift fans say the same thing over and over again that we all agree with is always a deeply fun time” is EXACTLY why we love you guys!!

Sanya Sharma

Also as a video idea for YouTube maybe a top 10 compilations of your fav surprise song reactions of both of you icons reacting to Taylor would be soooo superior!!! Like a video montage compilation 🩷

Laura M

Could we do a book club together with the book with y’all?

hailey

besties if you have time I would LOVE a final little chat before the last shows!! x

Annika

Omg yes I'd LOVE a video on all your TS merch! I've wanted this ever since Emily went on her little rant about how some merch shirts just fit so horribly cause they are both super long and cling to the hips. I deeply need you girls to tell me what to spend my money on and what to avoid haha

Scott Cleverly

Rob must have been out when they decided TTPD is 23rd best album. The music industry seems not to like Taylor's power and it seems like it is cool again to dismiss her greatness.

Ben Abram

U guys should do a video reacting to your Spotify wrapped!!

Carly

I thought of this too! That would be so lovely

Sara Silva

Please make a video of each chapter! I would love to hear your analysis of each chapter.

Emice

This is a great idea!!!

Leander

No because THIS MAN would make a perfect couch friend.

Erin Corey

I’m sure someone has commented this but I think it was in the Time Person of The Year interview Taylor did say Kelly Clarkson & Scott was telling her she should do it!

Micah

Please read this book to us

Heather

I just finished the audio book and I really enjoyed it. You two will love it

Ryan

Would love to see y’all react to Paris Paloma

Nele

Would love to see your Spotify wrapped :)

The listening only tickets were available because they can’t use the pyrotechnics in this venue with the closed roof. That space wasn’t there in other arenas.

eeek i'm picking up this book today :) v excited to give it a read. Love hearing an intelligent man who knows so much about music stand on business !!

E ✨🩷

On people only liking Folklore & Evermore bc it's not 'pop Taylor' and therefore 'better' (I agree you're not fun if you think this) - my main bullshit radar for a man (or person in general) is what they say about Taylor Swift. If a man says they don't like her but can't think why, to me it says they don't like feminine things, or things catered largely for women. Feminine things = bad. Taylor Swift = girly = bad. Watch any 2000s girly film and you'll start to notice the hyper-feminine character is always the villain, and we're told as the audience to root for the tomboy, laid back girl. I can't stand the misogynistic view that pop is for girls and things that girls like are stupid and boring, and not as 'esteemed' as other genres of music. Pop is POPULAR, it's POPULAR for a REASON 😂 rant over

Jaana

I think I may have to get this book. I already bought a coffee table book about Taylor’s songs, have the Taylor Swift styled book coming for Christmas and will be buying The Eras tour book but surely there’s no such thing as too many books?

Taylor isn’t the first artist to publicly re-record their music in defiance of a former record label. She also expressed frustration with big machine as early as Red and knew her catalogue was a bargaining chip in renegotiating with them. She 100% knew she was going to re-record. However, Kelly very loudly supported this idea, and I think the public started paying more attention to it because of her.

Are you guys considering to react to Sabrina's christmas special? 🎄✨

folklore and evermore ain’t imaginary characters 😉

unfortunately, all her radio songs do not even touch her songwriting genius. And I think people just pay attention to those songs.

ya bad blood is bad. prefer the version without Kendrick Lamar as well.

Annie

all of her singles show off her song writing. Pop music songwriting isn't solely on lyrical meaning/word play. writing pop melodies is hard, her ability to take common phrases like bad blood & shake it off & blank space etc... alone show off her songwriting skills in the pop music space. The way that everybody knows the chorus' of her big pop songs like 22, blank space, style etc even people that are not fans...I don't think she would have written rep if she didn't write bad blood first (she wrote I did something bad on the 1989 tour)...I agree that her singles are not her best songs on the album, but I also think there is not enough credit on her bigger singles within the fandom.

Noel Gallaghers daughter Anaïs loves Taylor!! And Noel himself is chill but in an interview he said he doesn’t understand that singers have producers instead of creating everything within the band

I would love a merch collection video!!!

They ranted about it either after a ss reaction or maybe one of their ttpd fathomings, I can't remember. But the girls and many of us were indeed very disappointed.

There are 72 men in his cabinet and staff picks and just 14 women. There are a variety of reasons I think he's a misogynist, they include the grabbing women comment and the fact that 26 women have publicly accused him of sexual assault. Also denying women healthcare freaks me out (I'm talking about abortion bans). He also attracts men who have some strange views about women including childless cat ladies.

Brian Hiatt is the journalist Taylor got into the car accident with but Rob did get to hear 1989 in Taylor’s apartment. Brian hosts the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast and always has Rob and Brittany Spanos on when Taylor is the main topic. You should react to those podcast episodes

I knew about the Kelly tweet but I always believed Taylor was already planning on it

Rachael

This interview and your fathomings are soooo offensive! So glad I stumbled across it. Thank you!
