Hey besties!! Sorry for the delay on your next video, we've had a little reshuffle of our filming days which has pushed us behind this week. THANK YOU for being here 🫶

Today we are reacting to and chatting about Lorde's interview with Zane Lowe, which we wanted to watch as this album is sooooo deep and life changing that it was NECESSARY to hear it from her mouth what it all means. We hope you enjoy!

Heather

Was creeping and accidentally first

Ran

HEY GIRLSSS I sent you a little present on email and in the “for Em & Bon to persue” chat for your channel’s birthday last week if you wanna take a look🥳🙌💌

Nora

NEEED you to react to Lorde’s How Long Gone podcast interview where she admits Man of The Year and much of the album’s vibe was inspired by one of the hosts, Chris Black!!!!

Yuli

The heat packs remind me of early morning secret song reactions I’ll cry

Aubrey McMichael

divas nobody it forcing you to sit on the floor 😭 get some chairs 🫶🏼

chatsandreacts

nah bestie it will ruin the vibessss and we are here for the vibes at the expense of our legs 🤣

Emilie Ramos

Would you guys react to Noah Cyrus's new album ?

Josh G

Miss Ella Lorde is so cool I can't wait to fathom some more cheers queens xx

Megan

Yes please please do a breakdown of this album!! 😍 it would be so interesting

noah

please break down this album and solar power!!!

Aubrey McMichael

a breakdown of virgin and of i quit are deeply needed!!!!

sean

Emily on the verge of microbangs and it's honestly iconic

Kat

THANK YOU FOR THIS you two made me fathom lorde and I'm FOREVER grateful for it..this album AHHHH😍🥰

Shanna Jain

Yess we want the breakdown of this album pleaseee

Shanna Jain

Also I thought she talked about if she could see me now and broken glass in this interview. I can’t see it in this video.

Darya 🤍

Hi girls if you were living in the US you’d understand the attack on transgender people, spaces, and rights 🫶🏼

Katie LaFave

i have to say ladies with all the taylor decorations and then just having the virgin album cover poster is very random 😂 i know you did that cuz this is a virgin themed video it just looks funny amongst all the taylor stuff

Katie LaFave

i need to know what type of manicures you guys get!!!

Karen Valentino

Loved this reaction! And yes, I would love a deep dive, or more than one, as many and as often as feels right for you. Zane has a gift for meeting his interview subjects where they are, and I loved hearing your insights as the interview progressed. It’s interesting that this album to me doesn’t feel contextually linked to Solar Power at all. It feels like a giant leap.

Hannah Grace

Proud kiwi here watching 2 kiwis smashing it. Thank you for your Lorde content

Katie LaFave

idk i do think if a man is in his 20s and is a virgin that is really frowned upon! i also don't think the idea of a woman being "pure" before marriage is as expected in todays world

Hannah Grace

AND yes a breakdown! Cant wait to see her in Feb

maya zutra

Of course I have the same top 3 and same least fav on the album like Bonny

maya zutra

Thank you so much for caring about if she could see me now. I feel seen 🩵

Britney Fletcher

Yess so here for the Lorde content 🩵 Being from NZ myself, I feel sort of a vibe that a lot of people in NZ don’t like her/get her which I think is stemming from tall poppy syndrome - it’s so interesting to fathom the difference between how she’s received more positively overseas vs her home country

Emilia

Yes, please do a breakdown of the album! 🩵

Annika 📍Melb, AU

I know Emily wasn’t very enthusiastic about the back exercises, but I wish I had a Bonny that would make me do mine 🤣

Beth

I’d love an album breakdown! Not the biggest fan of Lorde’s music but love listening to you guys talk about music so passionately ☺️

Kirsty

I’d love a breakdown of Solar Power too. I’ve never really listened to that album but would love to hear your thoughts! 💛

Emilia

Loved your discussion and keen to hear more of your thoughts!!! To me, the mission statement on Virgin really is "I don't belong to anyone." Not to a partner, not to the public's perception/expectation, not even to her mother – she's sought the approval of these three for so long, and she's even reckoning with the fact that some of these ties are beyond her control ("There's broken blood in me"). But ultimately, she is her own person and deals with what it means to be herself without being sculpted (like the statue of David) through seeking that approval ("Hope you find another starlet, … as for me, I'm going back to the clay"). Before the release, Lorde shared the following on her IG and it really helped me understand why "Virgin" is the perfect title: "The word 'virgin,' some say, was derived from a Greek word that meant 'not attached to a man, a woman who was 'one-in-herself.' Goddesses like Ishtar (Assyrian-Babylonian), Diana (Roman), Astarte (Greek) and Isis (Egyptian) were called virgins not because they were inexperienced but because they were strong and independent. There is also evidence that the word 'virgin' derived from the combination of the Latin words 'vir-' (for man, as in 'virile') and 'gyne' (for woman, as in gynecology) - a man-woman or androgynous person."

Isabella

yesssss!! we need an album breakdown for such an offensiveee album!!

Eirini

I don’t think that’s why people say she’s pretentious… I’ve heard people say that she’s trying really hard to be cool and artistic, but it’s true that if you really listen you can clearly see it’s just her and it comes off as cool naturally because she’s always so ahead of her time Btw we would LOVE a breakdown

Sage

Would love a breakdown of virgin! 🥳💗

Michaela

Yes please do an album breakdown! A solar power breakdown too at some point would be incredible! 🙏🩵

Hannah

Honestly, it’s actually quite good for people to sit on floors/hard ground. It helps with mobility in hips etc. A lot of adults actually loose that possibility from sitting in chairs to much. But maybe hours on end every weeks is too much 🤷‍♀️😅

Hannah

I love the little chat about the musical experience and the futility in stan wars. Art is subjective and feeling strongly about different expressions of it can never be negated, it just is.

Lucie S

I watched this interview a few days after Virgin's release and it really helped me understand the album and where she was coming from !! Loved hearing your thoughts you always have super interesting discussions :) I would love an album breakdown <3

Persef

Please please please do a breakdown 🩵

Hanna 🫧

Please please more Lorde content. She is just too amazing. I would looove an album breakdown from you guys. 🧡

maya zutra

Chickens did you get tickets?? I’m going to see her in NZ 🍂 in her natural habitat 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Hannah

I think in the context of what Em is saying she is rather meaning ”no one cares for a man to STAY a virgin” whereas for women there is virtue in that still, even if not in the same way it has historically been there still is a huge difference in how it’s viewed when a woman is sexually active as opposed to when a man is. I don’t think Em means to say there isn’t any pressure on men relating to their sexuality, just that there is no virtue in them staying ”pure”.

Gustav Lucas

I keep writing down stuff she says and as an architect, I deeply appreciated her comment on Virgin’s production : “It was like a construction site, this weird little zone of scaffolding, (…) , we barely put the walls up. I kept saying ‘load bearing pillars only’ as it pertained to the production, no adornment, no nice finishing on the wall, only what we need.”

𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐈💖

Emily’s shorter bangs actually suit her so much wait besties u look so good!!🫶🏼

Carla

YES to a breakdown plssss

Moonlit Nomad

THANK YOU! Please more Lorde content! 🙏🏼🩵

Moonlit Nomad

But also every track is SUPERIOR

Hannah

Respectfully, why do you assume they don’t? 🤔 Because they didn’t want to directly assume she was referring to the US with ”this country” as a kiwi? Trans rights is a pressing issue in the US and many other countries around the world.

Fi🌸

Yes full breakdown please!! Lorde is such a poet like her mother interestingly! So some people will not get it and others will that’s just art. We all definitely get it!! It’s so raw and vulnerable such a good album. I love it all but my favs so far are, David, Clearblue, favourite daughter, shapeshifter and broken glass. That’s not in order just love them so much xx

SomDrum

So glad you watched the Zayn Lowe interview with us! These interviews are always so in depth and fascinating, I would honestly watch them for any artist (regardless of how I feel about their music). Thanks chickens!

Becca

Please break it down!!! Obsessed

Kathryn

Love this album! It's my first Lorde album and it's definitely not my usual music but I'm obsessed. Would love some track breakdowns!

RL

Would LOVE a break down of this when you girlies get the chance!!💙🩵🤍Of course I love any and all of the TS breakdowns, rankings and reactions, but I love seeing you guys fathom and analyze different artists so much!!

Alina Jade

Loved this vid! Yall were saaaaaaying some shit 🤯 PLEASE do a breakdown!

sophie

YES I WOULD LOOOOVE A BREAKDOWN

Mika B

V. Babida

100% YES to a Virgin breakdown!!!

Mika B

I suddenly noticed that Lorde's face is a bit of a combination of Bonnie and Emily

Caroline Gardner

YES PLEASE a breakdown!!!!!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

sydney

Omg so obsessed with this album and would love a breakdown!

Alicia L

Yes breakdown ! 🙌

Katie

Y'all, talk to me about Zane. I always watch his interviews, but I nevvvvvver understand what he's talking about. It's existential.

Alexia 🫶🏻

New lorde fan here and I have current affairs on REPEAT. But also GRWM is up there too.

Maggie

Yes to a breakdown!

Raegan Williams

Yes breakdown ❤️💜 I don’t even know if I fully understand what’s happening on this album, and also Lorde needs to voice the intro to a drama tv series, or a documentary. I find it soooo soothing

Takara

I always know when I watch a Zane interview that I’m about to have my mind blown. He just gets artists in a way that no other music “critic” does!!!

chel

just had to pause and comment yes!!!! to the breakdown (also completely irrelevant but i saw ur story about the new suki waterhouse album and i went and listened and im absolutely obsessed omg, superior vibes)

idadler

i would love a breakdown!

Sam

Definitelyyyyy need a breakdown of this album from you ladies! I was there at the Glastonbury album launch, a few rows from the front, and it was incredibly special.

Florence Lambert

I hope this interview shows people that there is no pretentiousness here ! Love her so much

max swain

both of you girls’ hair is DEVOURING

Bobhog

OMG PLEASE DO A BREAKDOWN!!!! Your melodrama breakdown is one of my favourite videos!!! <333333

Moonlit Nomad

Really enjoyed your conversation and breakdown on Lorde's gender experience through this album! <3

domdodom

hopefully one day guys do some red era here on patreon with performances and Interviews

Summer

Both your guys hairstyles are offensive!!!! 🤭🤗

Clanur

I would lolololove an album breakdown

Alexandra Bennett

1) loveeeeeee the Lorde content and would love a breakdown 2) Emily the short bangs is a vibe!!!!

Michaela

You both show such an intelligent understanding on things which I really love! Such intelligent, deep thinkers!!!

Ella

Would love a breakdown of this album!! I’m literally so obsessed with it, it’s so deeply moving ❤️

LindseyMarie

I love your Lorde conversations and fathomings, I would very much enjoy a breakdown of this album with more conversation about what this art means to you both and to culture at this moment.

Kelsi Ford

DO A BREAKDOWN PLEASE

Danya Briones

please do an album breakdown! love the lorde content btw

jaydaaa

loved this video so much omg. loved what both you and lorde had to sayyyyy. also for a content idea, can you compare folklore and folklore long pond and do something similar to the re-records videos. love you guys! 🥹🫶🏼

CC Loo

Always here for more Lorde content! This is random, and obviously not your usual thing, but have you all thought about doing a reaction to KPop Demon Hunters? I don't listen to KPop but my friend sort of insisted I watch it and really enjoyed it and think you all might too. If you really feeling different and in your rogue era. And it has become a kind of sensation . Even to get people into the channel, I've seen some other reactions on YouTube that have done really well.

chatsandreacts

omg we are JEALOUSSSS hope you had the best time Sam!!

chatsandreacts

WE DIDDDD!!! Omg we hope you have the best time in NZ 🫶

chatsandreacts

You just blew my MINDDDDD and I cant believe we didnt see that Lorde had shared that on instagram, it puts it all into perspective so perfectly. Thanks for sharing bestie!!

chatsandreacts

I think you're absolutely right, why are Aussies and Kiwis like this??? In some ways it feels like the rest of the world is becoming a bit more like that these days too, everyone is scared to be 'cringe' and people so quickly try to pull others down when they're doing something different. I love embracing Lorde like she's our own and celebrating that she's from this part of the world. I can't fathom that others dont feel the same!!

chatsandreacts

We cut some of it down based on our conversations and the fact that non-Taylor content is not something everyone wants to see, so we keep it simpler 🥰

domdodom

i was rewatching some old stuff and you guys mentioned about doing hahaha

Katie LaFave

yeah i agree!! ofc things aren't perfect and i doubt they ever will be, but i do think the way society treats women's sexuality is a lot better than it used to be!!

Sam

omg ladies you have made my day with this 🥺 I took some disposable camera pictures which are currently in development - trying to think how I can share them with everyone here!??

Hayden Brice

Hi! As an Australian, we have plenty of transphobia here, because our politicians utilise the speaking points of US and UK politicians. The attack on transfolk is a global issue. Not just a US one.

Chelsea Brown

I loved this interview so much. Thank you ladies for highlighting it and having such a thoughtful discussion. This album is so special and I really connect to it as someone who has struggled with an ED, external approval, and shame and nostalgia for the past at the same time. My therapist specializes in EDs and we’ve talked before about how gender fluidity can help people with ED history detach themselves from beauty standards and body image. It helps abstract what being a woman actually means and help you realize you’re just in a body without any societal ideals or pressure. I wonder if those things are connected for Lorde and it’d be interesting to explore that if y’all do consider an album breakdown! P.S. my favorite is If She Could See Me Now so glad we share that in our top three. 🫶 love y’all

Maya

thank you this video makes me want to listen to this album again! Think I overlistened at the start but now I'm so excited to go back!

Eden Longland

YES to the breakdown of this album

lumera

I would love a virgin breakdown but pls pls also a solar power breakdown 🙏

Heath Zappa

personally I would absolutely DIE at a virgin &/or solar power break down (your melodrama breakdown was everything to me you fathomed SO much)

ella

YES VIRGIN BREAKDOWN PLEASE!!!! and sidenote: Olivia Dean has been releasing new music!! I think you guys would loveeeee her vibe ✨ ive been having a moment with her pls fathom with me and react to her 2023 album messy + upcoming album!!! 💖

Seth & Brent

Yesssss Virgin breakdown would be greatly appreciated 🫶

Jaimie C

loved this reaction and hearing your thoughts on everything Lorde shared. YES please to an album breakdown!! 💕

Stefanie

Love Lorde, love Virgin, love your content about it 🩵

Freya 🫶🏻

i’m so happy you’re doing more lorde content! (as much as i love taylor i get drowned out sometimes) cant wait to watch with a cuppa ☕️

Selina

I would be so excited about a Virgin breakdown!!

Esther Newman

yes please to a virgin breakdown <3

Darya 🤍

More so that I don’t want to assume they DO 😉

Darya 🤍

Yep, kinda similar to my reply to Hannah! Perhaps they aren’t as present to the trans politics happening either in their own country or others, so just giving the benefit of the doubt

Elle

Emily - I love your bangs! I had to share!

Samantha

I so deeply needed this interview down to my core

Jessie Anderson

Love you girls! And would also love a breakdown of this album please and thank you!! xx

Eve

Album breakdown PLEASE !!! my brain relies completely on your opinions for it to fathom

Lacey Koenigsfeld

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience ❤️

Lu

Loved this! I also recommend the Triple J interview and the Jake Shane interview. Both offer different tones and a different focus (Triple J focuses a lot on the production choices and Jake Shane is more informal and Taylor is briefly mentioned!) I’d love a Virgin breakdown this is my fav album rn :)

Laila

Omg I was living in a safe bubble of delulu that the Virgin album breakdown was a given!!! Now I'm begging please Virgin breakdown please girls 🙏🥲

Ryan

Ok am I the only one who can’t stand Zane Lowe 🙈

Pixie

Album breakdown would be superior 🩵

Jacob

Will definitely be needing that album breakdown.

Mads

I have such mixed feelings about Zane Lowe😂 He's a great interviewer and it seems like artists will really open up to him which makes for great discussions, but he also can just be sooo abstract and existential that sometimes it feels like non sense lol

Lison

Was just thinking about how much I’d love a breakdown of this and a minute later you say you’ve been thinking of doing one!! It’s a bug yes from me!!

Anna

I would absolutely love a breakdown of the album too! <3

Jaime

Yes please do a breakdown!

alex

Current affairs is actually perfection!!

alex

A few Videos ago you talked about hold no grudge on solar power - would LOVE an updated top 5 and a breakdown because I have to confess it’s my least fathomed album of Lorde 🥹

Shanna

Loved this reaction and yesss to the breakdown 🙌 🩻!!!

Dominika

Yes, yes, yes - please, we NEED Solar Power breakdown!

Jane

I‘d loooooveeee a breakdown!!!!!!

Breezy Bumbles

I’m 47 and I am still waiting to feel like an adult. I know more things but I still feel like I’m 15.

Breezy Bumbles

These enlightened poetic women are seriously taking me on a wild journey of self-discovery and empowerment as a woman. We have been told our whole lives that feminine qualities are a weakness when in reality, women are superior beings and our emotional intelligence is the key to being a healthy, content person. Artists like Lorde and Taylor and Lana. Like Mariner’s Apartment Complex made me see the dynamic between my husband and I in a completely new light. I am not weak! I just let myself feel my feelings and I understand that that is the key to being able to overcome the dark times and help others through their own journeys. Sorry. Sometimes I go on tangents…but I have these iconic women who found me at this specific time in my life when I was ready and open to understand myself and the journey and value of being a woman.

Breezy Bumbles

I’m so sorry to keep commenting…but I’m so so grateful that you, Bonny & Em, have been vulnerable enough to show your genuine enthusiasm and passion for music. I have always been this way myself and I have never been able to find people who are the same as me. People who experience music in their mind, body and soul so deeply that it physically hurts sometimes. It’s been so wonderful to get to scream with you and talk about lyrics in depth and just feel all the feelings. I say this so much, it’s annoying but seriously, thank you!🙏🏻

Breezy Bumbles

I feel like Lorde is the kind of artist that people will actually fathom with time. She’s so iconic that we’ll be uncovering layers and layers meanings in her poetry as time passes. She’s ahead of her time and we all need to catch up!

Breezy Bumbles

Alright I’m deceased! Lorde is SAYING THINGS!!!! What do you mean all versions of yourself have to be healed for you to move forward? I had to pause this video for 20 minutes to have a mental breakdown. 🫠😳😭
