charlychops

Katie LaFave

I actually thought that white T-shirt looked good on you Bonny 🤣🤣

𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐈💖

Bonny rapping the 50 cent line from ruin the friendship multiple times after she put the blue hoodie on is SENDING MEE this video has immaculate vibes already

Sophie kelly

Girls there’s the Ryan Seacrest interview and the The Roula & Ryan Show interview left! In the latter she talks about Rep Tv!

charlychops

Also, not Bonny Cent 😭

Katie LaFave

i actually love the color of those sweatshirts that’s the best part of them i think

Gregory Patrick

There are two black tees, the one with her in rep pose (her hands on her face) and the one that’s three of her in the silver glittery bralette, are that thick boxy good quality tee you’re describing.. those were my merch pics (plus several more) and I love them!! Also hi! Love every single millisecond of content you create 😘❤️

sierra

taylor choking bonny is 😂

Katie LaFave

I actually really liked a lot of the merch! I bought the black crewneck that everyone got in their pr packages!

Tara Rose

I’m sold on that “I’m immortal now” T shirt. Def not the shiny bug white T tho 😂 “she’s choking me”

Katie LaFave

I will say though, it does seem like Taylor is always writing songs on tour like we know she wrote sad beautiful tragic on her ukulele on the speak now tour bus

Chelsea

Ok but that baby doll shirt looks so perfect on Emily?! Even with the orange.

✨Kailee✨

I called all the merch ugly but I’m EATING MY WORDS YALL bc that pink sweatshirt is so cute I’m buying now.

✨Kailee✨

UPDATE: NEVER FCKING MIND ITS SOLD OUT

Chiara

i had such a horrible day today, thank you for lighting up my mood ilyyy

Keri 🫶🏻

me thinking “surely they didn’t buy that blue one” and then it appeared 😭🤣

Ella

Oh my god I caaaaan’t with Bonny rapping eldest daughter and ruin the friendship 🤣 the person you became when wearing that hoody was deeply superior 😂 I got the yellow t shirt too and absolutely love it!! The baby dolls tee looks slay on you Emily, wish I’d got that one too now!

Dominic Cuomo

I mean 50 cent isn’t the only one who got a shout out New Heights 😂😂

Bella

Most of the merch is sooo tragic omg I can’t

Rhonda

Taylor has her own channel on Sirius Channel 13!

Emily

Yes I have the black with greenish teal design. It’s so thick and comfy!

Takara

There’s a clip from the Spotify popup where she talked about the medley and she said that she knew Max was coming to the show and she did the medley to try to entice him to working together again (paraphrasing) you should def look it up!

Dara Sofia

Completely unrelated to the video but you ladies are GLOWING each and every time. I only hope to be the same when I reach my 30s, I can’t wait!

Dara Sofia

These merch are so tragically awful it’s sooo funny 😭

jule ✌🏻

I fear I’ll be having fomo about missing that livestream for the rest of my life 🤣 thank you for the superior content as always bestiesssss

Danya Briones

like i know Bonny is tall.... but oh my god bonny is tall, now im terrified to ever meet them bcus what is a short thing like me gonna do, hug her knee?

Katie LaFave

happy 13th years of og red everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Kim

the break to sing the bridge of eldest daughter, valid

Kim

Also the blue hoodie is the cutest thing you guys got. Now I want one.

Katie LaFave

omg bonny you just unlocked something!!! yes i totally remember the never ending song!!!

Guy Whiteman

Crazy how Taylor keeps bringing up TLOAS being like a Christmas present she’s been withholding….maybe she’s hinting at the Christmas re-record? 🤡😂

Victoria

It's wild that some of this was approved lol

Victoria

I'm sure this is already on your radar but please react to the behind the scenes video from the Capital Breakfast interview!

Victoria

I think the Honey sweatshirts are cute but personally I feel like the merch team did not think that through...I don't think I would want to go around with something that says "you can call me honey if you want" 😭

Lady Lauren

😭starting this video with the Eldest Daughter bridge should come with a warning, makes me cry everytime! LOVE this song as much as any track 5 ever!!

Kristen

HAHA bonny 😭 the tortured poets department also fucked me up

Victoria

Noo why are the legs in the middle of her face pleasee

oPaulo

Conceptually i think midnights and red are her strongest. TTPD too. Midnights even after three years I keep fathoming it really is an album that is keeping us all up at nights figuring out things.

Brenda1989

Speak now the song makes perfect sense on speak now the album. Speaking up for yourself is one of the scariest bravest things you can do and doing that at wedding where it’s like the only time anyone actually says “speak now” like here’s ur chance speak and she’s using that metaphor to convey her self written album!!I do think a speak now/speak now fathoming needs to be had!!

Ava Demassio

you guys are absolutely correct, TTPD is actually the most brilliant world she's ever created... this coming from a Rep and Midnights stan!!! but TTPD is actually insane and it makes me sick thinking about the concept in the entirety of that album. CONCERNING. but Rep and Midnights are her best albums + concepts together in my opinion!

Jordyn

Yes, Seacrest was fine but her interview with Roula was one I would like to see them react to

Breezy Bumbles

Random thought that I don’t know where to say it …..the day that Taylor Swift met Jack Antonoff AND ALSO the day that she met Aaron Dessner should be Internationally celebrated holidays. They are holy days that need to be recognized by all. 🎉

Brenda1989

I think u should do the voice memos next!!!

Kevin Rodriguez

This album rollout makes me so curious about the creative process. Like if the music video replicated the cover for TLOAS so when did the album photoshoot happen? When did she decide on the album’s title? It’s very curious and offensive lol

Kb8248

Vacation during TTPD release was with Bradley Cooper, Gigi Haddad and Travis to Big Sur.

Lynn Fish

I'm thinking that vacation Taylor spoke about was with Gigi , Bradley Cooper and Travis to Carmel California. I may be getting the timing off a bit.

✨Bri✨

No im actually dead at the guitar picks being Andrea’s 13th reason 😂☠️. Help. Somehow that’s gonna become part of the actual lore for me and in 10 years I’ll be like telling people, I swear I heard that somewhere! With them all looking at me like I’m insane 😂

CRB

chickens (especially Bonny) you need to do Roula and Ryan show!! there is some tea about rep 👀

Kb8248

She wanted to call speak now enchanted and her label convinced her to call it speak now. The SN song is not great, but the theme is perfect since it was all self written songs.

Becca

Have you guys been watching Robert on Dancing with the Stars???

Amanda Cronin

Thank you Bonny for putting the song that never ends in my head for the foreseeable future 🙃😂

V. Babida

LOL EMILY “with love, I hate it” hahaha the merch haul is so chaotic and hilarious - I just love you ladies so much! Thank you for all the incredible content the last 2 weeks! Please rest up now!! You deserve a holiday!

Mia Gregorio

emily needs to fathom tloas (the song) is so good and it embodies the album message/theme so well

Paloma Bennett

I would love for you guys to react to the Ryan Seacrest interview.

Jade

I bought one and SO WORTH IT! It reminds me of the late 80’s fashion with all the colors and abstract shapes somehow. It’s cool as fuck in real life. It’s a fave piece- it feels like wearing real art!

Val Flores

OKAY I ACTUALLY JUST FATHOMED SOMETHING ABOUT OPALITE. The first verse is her history with the exes and stuff and her mom telling her its gonna be alright and stuff. Then the second verse sounds like shes talking to Travis about his exes and saying its all okay. And then bridge is where she tells Travis it'll be alright after the SuperBowl loss!!

Erica Whitaker

You could mix Ryan Seacrest interview with the voice memos.

Tess7

In the voice memo for The Life Of a Showgirl, we hear the moment Taylor decided it was the title of the album. I thought that was interesting. I’d love a video of you reacting to all the lyric changes in the voice memos 😊 I remember Speak Now was not the title of the album, until Scott told her to rethink the title lol

Veronica Key

This is random but I always thought Champagne Problems was a random song for Taylor to write even though she made it with Joe. But in Midnight Rain she says “he wanted a bride I was making my own name”. I have no idea who she’s referring to but I wonder if it’s the same person whoever it is. Sorry if other people have brought this up already. I’ve never heard someone bring this up.

Lu

Just wanted to say re: customs that when Taylor came to latam she did customs at the airport and we have pictures from Argentina Mexico and I think a video from Brazil where she’s signing some autograph? I’m almost positive. I think it’s like a special custom office for private plane people, not like the regular people one, but they still have to go through it

lucy

plot twist -- taylor was actually forced to go to space and that's why the first interview's quality was so bad and the cameras were off

Courtney

for album concepts, I love reputation, midnights and TTPD as well!

soph

I can't get over bonny's different tones of ruin the friendship based on what piece of clothing she's wearing (first the 50 cent one with the hoodie and then the softer one with the thank you for the lovely bouquet shirt) IM DYING

Christine Violet

Forgive me if Taylor answers this later on in the video… but do we have any insight into when she finished writing these songs? I feel like I’ve heard her say it was all done last summer, but if that’s the case I feel like Cancelled couldn’t be about Blake (all the drama started in December I think) and Father figure couldn’t be about her masters (unless she got them back for like a year before we found out this may)?!

Tsukiakari1203

I second this! Especially since wedding crashing is in such a public place and people are going to looking at her disgusted that she’s ruining this wedding. That takes a lot of nerve and bravery to even try to do it

Tsukiakari1203

I want you guys to do the Ryan Seacrest interview! Even if it’s just for completionism. I also haven’t heard it yet as I wanted to watch it with you guys

MIN-NA H

I would love for you guys to listen to the Ryan Seacrest interview.

Nicole

It would be iconic if Taylor started a record label. New spin on father figure! 🤎🥃

Kim

It literally reminded me of something out of the 80’s and that’s what I liked about it! So cool.

Sydney

I would die dead 💀 🤡

Tessa M

I got the black and green It’s Rapturous shirt. It just SCREAMS spooky season, I could see it as a emo millennial shirt people would wear back when I was in high school. I don’t hate it. Then I got the album shirt. Decent quality shirts so I lucked out, glad it wasn’t a thin material

Janie

I listened to that interview with the guy and the girl (the Sirius one I think?) and they asked Taylor about Rep TV but I didn’t hear it in this video 🧐

Tessa M

Yes I got the green and black It’s Rapturous shirt too! I felt that it fit in with the spooky season so I’ve been wearing it this month 🙌🏻

Hannah H

Thanks for all the videos with the album roll out. It’s appreciated especially with all the online hate.

Lu

When ttpd came out she was vacationing in some small town in California, with Travis, Gigi and Bradley, if I’m remembering correctly.

Melanie

you should 100% listen to the Roula and Ryan interview cause she mentioned something about an old album that you may be fucked up about hahah (it might be a separate one from ryan seacrest i think)

Katie LaFave

there’s another radio clip where she talks about the inspo behind midnight rain and it will be surprising to you both, but i feel so validated about it!! i think it’s from Ryan Seacrest so hopefully you guys do react to it!!!

Jessie Anderson

Good practice for meeting tall Taylor 😂

Jessie Anderson

Very entertaining video, as always! On the title track chat, I would like to point out that Taylor wanted to call Speak Now “Enchanted” but the label thought it would be too girly. Enchanted I believe perfectly describes that album and Taylor’s vision. I wonder how much that would have changed things for her.

Courtney McAlexander

WAITTT that white shirt has to be a kids size right?!? 😂😂

Melanie Whybrow

I was dying for that honey jumper, but I couldn't justify the price! 😩

Jenny

The only connection I had made to the 4th July was the fact that there’s usually fireworks and ‘you lit my sky up’.. you totally blew my mind with your connection to pledging allegiance!!! The smartest chickens 🐓

Katie LaFave

well we actually know that her and travis went on vacation with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid the weekend the album came out! they went to carmel-by-the-sea which is this gorgeous town in california

Katie LaFave

well Bonny technically reputation isn’t perfect yet because there’s still more songs to come!!!

Katie LaFave

see I disagree because I think the title track of speak now is where she got the concept from because of the phrase “speak now and forever hold your peace” is you speaking out about about something! in that song’s case and that phrase it’s at a wedding and then throughout the whole album, she speaking now about a lot of different things!

Katie LaFave

that’s so funny em, cuz i definitely think there are more upbeat songs on ttpd than the title track like guilty as in, down bad, my boy, & but daddy i love him

Rose Ellen

I got the blue hoodie and actually love it!! I’m a blue girlie so I couldn’t resist it!

Katie LaFave

also the title track of speak now is loosely inspired by a conversation she had with her friend which a lot of people think that friend is Hayley Williams

Michelle

oooh good point!

dahlia

cannot wait to watch you guys reacting to the acoustics

Takara

My partner asked me the other day why she hasn’t done this and honestly I don’t know why unless she just doesn’t want the responsibility?

Takara

Praying for all of us if she ever attempts a loverfest again - limited shows would be a complete bloodbath to get tix for unless she figures out a way to not do it through Ticketmaster

Karen Valentino

I’m beyond squeamish about buying any official merch because the fit and quality are so random. I only have merch from the show I’ve been to, Eras Tour, because I could touch it and try it on. I love the shirts you two opted to change into. I agree with whoever told you the sweatshirts are fugly, but it’s official merch! Hold your heads high!

Aloha Record Sargent

Blake was cancelled in Aug 2024! The December thing was the lawsuit that came after her cancellation (she is suing Baldoni for retaliation against her because of the smear campaign in Aug. 2024). For Father Figure, my interpretation is that it's about the whole re-recording process and how she outsmarted him with that idea (with all the Swifties on her side). Not about the Masters purchase. Even with all of that said, I don't think we know when she actually finished writing because she said she did "most" of the album in Summer 2024.

Haley

the theme and album concept of ttpd is so ILLEGAL!!!!!!!! how does her brain do this???? i can’t even begin to fathom.

Yuli

I’m dying over Taylor’s shiny bug hands being literally around Bonny’s neck choking her HELP

Christina

okay I would love to hear your thoughts on album concepts in another chatty video sometime !!

Yuli

I’ve had a really dark couple of weeks and the amount of videos that you’ve been uploading that i can fall back on when i need to be by myself but not in my head has been so comforting. I appreciate your existence and presence an overwhelming amount thank you for creating this space and reminding me to grab a tea and be present with you 🌸

superscarf

Really regretting that I didn’t get the honey crewneck. 😭

Carina

I was looking for that comment 🤝

sierra

love the concept convo!! love your thoughts & fathomings. i agree about ttpd but also think midnights is so superior as a concept too!

Molly

I think it’s time for the girls to phathom Tate 😭🥳

angel (plnkblue)

I think the whimsey and storytelling of Speak Now as a song makes it difficult for people to conceptualize how the inherent idea of "speaking up" and interrupting a wedding is sort of just the quintessential pop culture example of the theme that the album is conveying. It's not just a collection of songs that serve as "unset letters" of things she wished she'd said; it's also an album which is, at its narrative core, operating on the exact same mentality that Ruin The Friendship is. "I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now. My advice is to always ruin the friendship/answer the question, better that then regret it/ask it all your life." Much of what occurs in the Speak Now narrative happens because the narrator is making choices based on her hearts' desires and refusing to compromise based on what people around her expect or want her to do. She leaves a comfortable relationship in pursuit of something that, in her eyes, is more chaotic and passionate and fun. She pursues someone everyone thinks is bad news because she is so deeply sure of what she sees in them. She dares to forgive someone instead of caving in to bitterness and resentment, instead choosing to hold true to her sense of belief and good faith. And obviously a lot of this analysis is coming retroactively, as Ruin The Friendship didn't exist when Speak Now was written and released, but I think that that song really perfectly frames the cohesiveness of Speak Now as an album. (Not necessarily entirely related, but I do just love Speak Now (song) for how it it inherently rooted in the depiction of a wedding ceremony, which traditionally take place within churches, as depicted in the staging for the Speak Now tour. I love this because that church imagery comes back hard in Midnights and TTPD, which I personally view as sister albums to Speak Now (stained glass windows in my mind, I died on the altar waiting for the proof, Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best, etc). The church then becomes a framing device for three integral concepts: marriage, religion, and death/funerals, which are all utilized to explore the theme of trauma and cyclical behavior as depicted within Speak Now, Midnights, and TTPD. Even though Speak Now (song) is not directly part of this interconnected thematic narrative, it lays an integral visual foundation that goes on to be thematically excavated in some of the most essential entries in her discography. Truly, to me, Speak Now is simply the album that keeps on giving, and the album that reveals more and more of its true significance as time goes on.)

Enzo Reis

9:47 no the only song in TLOAS that wasn't planned at all and that she brought the idea/concept at fullest to Max and Shellback was Elizabeth Taylor. You both will see when you react to the acoustic versions and voice memos. The other songs was a chorus, a verse or an especific lyric that she had on her phone that she would bring and they would start to write the song around that small fragment.

justin henri

i agree with bonny on tortured poets being a very strong concept for the album as what it turned out to be; however i do think the title track only encompasses part of what the whole album was ( with just one line introducing the title and hence might be considered too arbitrary). i honestly feel the concept might work better without a title track on that album (meaning we could give that song another name?)

Lus

As a Swede im so prod to say that I was there for the Max Martin Medley and it was magical. I kneeeeew in my soul that it meant that they were working together again!!

Lindsay

‘Wait wait, it’s the bridge though’ is so real. Love you girls 😂

Heidi Muller

You NEED to make earrings from the guitar pics 🥰

Antoinette

I am proud to say I was around for the five holes in the fence and what a wild time 💗

Sammi

Yes! Ryan seacrest eventually I think but voice memos and acoustics next!

Sammi

Love the ttpd conversation here. It’s actually insane that we had to process 31 lyrically heavy Taylor songs at once. My favorite album. Will be processing for business decades.

Emelie

good point! but she could just have given us voice memos from later on in the process of writing the song :)

Emelie

Not to burst your bubble on "she knows and remembers everyone who interviewed her" but I'm pretty sure Tree looks it up beforehand and tells Taylor she has talked to the people before and when etc. but it's definitely a talent to make everoyne feel special and seen :)

Kathleen McGlynn

I’m sorry but this is the best things I’ve ever read, thank you for your analysis xx

Daniel K

It’s the Schengen area that doesn’t re-stamp on entry, not the EU. Here in Ireland, we’re EU, but not Schengen, so you’ll get stamped unless you’re travelling from the U.K. (common travel area. It’s a whole thing™ involving the Troubles, the Good Friday Agreement, and a lotta history).

Laura Hill

I'm currently in the UK and have been loving waking up, immediately going to make myself a cup of tea, and sitting down to a new video with you so regularly - truly a glimmer getting me through a rough time!! Thank you both so much 🧡💚

Rita Balode

Yes, I think so too. We all learned this from Devil Wears Prada☺️

Ana Belic

yes we want to seee the Ryan Secreast interview <3

Amber

i imagine scott has a purse bowl next to his front door thats just full of guitar picks being transferred from pant pocket to pant pocket on a daily basis

Ally

I would love to hear your reaction to the radio interview done by Roula (I believe is her name). The interview was very brief, maybe 15 mins, where Taylor gets a question about Reputation. I found very interesting her answer. It's on the KRBE podcast on Oct. 8.

Mayra

So Elvis Duran has been my morning show person for the last 35 years. He kept saying they were having so many technical issues and the call started 1.5 hours late. But I can’t believe how terrible the quality was 😔

Elaine :)

I do agree with the 23 minute mark comments about how Taylor is very intentional and does remember people and always does her best to make others feel seen. I also think after such a long and storied career, that she probably has support from Tree and other members of her team to help her review before certain interview situations when she last worked with people so that way she doesn’t ever misspeak or misremember someone on accident.

Breezy Bumbles

By the time the website stopped crashing for me, the “Honey” crewneck (jumper lol) only had 3XL and up. I’m usually a size medium but I decided to go crazy and get the 3XL! Can’t wait till it gets here so I can wear my new “dress”. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Lively_Ash

I just went to a SOMBR concert. I am 45. I took my daughter. We had the best time. He’s an amazing talented young man who writes and produces his music!!! Y’all definitely need to react to his album💛💛 also the day of my concert. He had received a letter from Taylor and a necklace of a four leaf clover and he talked about it at his show and online again.

Eve

loooved your chat about the best concept albums & I 100% agree that tortured poets is the best i think about it constantly & people don’t get it!!!! also just how taylor is so good at sticking to a theme & does it so much justice - my chaotic brain could never

Staci DaSilva

If anything, I think the LFOAS song is more connected to the theme of the album than most of the other songs. 😬😬 that’s the disconnect for me.

Jasna

Loveeee Eldest daughterrrr, such a groweeer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hiba

You guys also need to watch The Summer I turned pretty! It’s packed with Taylor’s music!!!

Leander

Scott Swift is like a dog dad just handing out lil guitar pick treats to all the puppies and we are all the puppies 🐶

Emmie

I bought the blue one as well. The style is so early 90s with the chopped pictures. And the shorts as well, but i didnt buy those. Still thinking about them though. So cool in my opinion 😅❤️

WeatherJoy

There is a voice memo on the title track and Emily is not wrong. I won’t say anymore!!

Emma

No girls you need to fathom the original prologue of Speak Now if you haven’t in a while. She LITERALLY talks about how the wedding moment when people say ”speak now or forever hold your peace” connects to the theme of the album. The song Speak Now and the context she uses that phrase in the song ties PERFECTLY into the theme and concept of the album. I mean your kinda saying it, it’s that moment ”speak now or forever hold your peace” but in real life for her. And in the song she chooses to speak up, like she’s doing with the album in real life!!!!! It’s so meta and the song is so metaphorical for what the album LITERALLY IS!! IF YOURE PLANNING ON REFATHOMING THE SPEAK NOW OG PROLOGUE SOON DONT READ BELOW CAUSE ITS MILD SPOILERS WITH MY THOUGHTS ON THE PROLOGUE AND HOW IT ALL TIES TOGETHER SO THEN RATHER HAVE YOUR OWN FATHOMINGS AND WE CAN DISCUSS UNDER THAT VIDEO BUT HERES MY THOUGHTS: she talks about each song being kind of a letter of the things she didn’t say earlier in the moment it happened but how she felt it’s now or never. Either she speaks about this now or forever hold her peace, like the moment in a wedding when someone would say ”speak now or forever hold your peace” and in that song she chooses to speak and that is what the concept of the whole album IS!! Her choosing to speak now and not forever holding her peace keeping quiet forever. She really talks about how she’s been thinking about that moment in weddings and how it’s metaphorically ties in to the album and how she kind of had that moment in life where she have felt like speak now or forever hold your peace and how she have stayed quiet earlier but this is her speaking. Idk this is just from memory now but I really think you should have a reread from the OG Speak Now prologue if you don’t think the song matches the concept. She talks about it a lot in the prologue, it definitely connects the moment in a wedding where they say ”speak now or forever hold your peace” with the theme of the album. No I’m feeling sooo passionately about this😂 and it’s a really good prologue would LOOOVEEE a refathoming of it from you guys and all the things you would come up with and connect!!☺️☺️🫶❤️ love u chickens🫶

Taylor

I would love to see yall watch the Ryan Secrest interview!

Clare

Vacation she went to Santa Barbara with Gigi and Bradley Cooper

Clare

In the voice memos, she talks about life of a showgirl the song and suggests that it might be the title of the album

WeatherJoy

Meaning how the name of the album came about!!

Marshall

CHICKENS! You NEED to react to ALL songwriting memos / bonus track versions ASAP!! Some of your questions might be answered;)

ton

I didn’t love the Seacrest interview other than how much I laughed at what appeared to be constantly begging for a wedding invite 🤣 Happy for a skip Memos are a must listen I think somewhere she comments on talking to Max about doing the album etc (but might be in the BTS can’t remember)

Caroline

did you guys see robert irwins ad during wicked night hahahahahaha

ton

lol… speak now OR forever hold your peace. The implication is this is the last moment or else you should never say it as the marriage is binding

Macarena

Ready to watch with my cup of tea and oreos 🤌🏻

superscarf

I’d say yes close us out with the Ryan Seacrest interview and then move on to the acoustic versions/voice memos. Pleeeeease. 😁🙏

Devanand M

I just watched your “a week in our life” vlog and guys You guys are so cuteee!!!

Meghan Raap

yeah I was really confused by that whole bit! like, what do you mean speak now the song doesn't match the concept of speak now the album??? I don't think you should wait, I think you should speak now... speak now, or forever hold your peace... idk, I need further explanation of why they think that because it makes no sense to me lol

Ali ❤️‍🔥

Bonny’s little smile when she said “I’ll take that personally” made me giggle lol

Joey

Tortured poets is the most unique and intresting, I would love another fathoming. It is that much to fathom and discuss.

Macarena

Love the last two interviews such good questions :) the little chatty chat is so comforting to listen to 🥰

DemiMarie🤍🖤

So curious to know if she recorded any Rep Vault tracks while she was making this album with them. Would have been the perfect time if she wanted them to produce any of them 🤔🤣

Brittany DeLara

I got that blue hoodie and I LOVE it. Feels so good and is a great color actually. Wore it out day one and got multiple compliments.

Renata

the merch looks so cute on you girlies!! i didn’t get anything this go round but might be regretting it now 😂 also you guys have mentioned honey as being the first song she wrote for the album but it was elizabeth taylor!! she talks about being in the car with travis and having to pull over to record something on her phone as soon as the idea came to her lol. honey is when she first felt the album was taking shape. can’t wait to see your reaction to the voice memos, so much fun stuff there!!

Laurie Letendre

Can't wait for the acoustic songs and voice memos, waiting to react with you superior chickens

nikki

This!!! I’ve been waiting for them to listen to this one since she says things about Rep.

Karolina

50 cent Bonny is frying me

Marietta Sophie

I get where Emily is coming from with the title track „Life of a showgirl“ and the album name, because I feel like the song deals with the showgirl aspect of it all, but she explicitly said that the album is her life behind the scenes of the show. I also get that in the song she touches on the topic of fame as a concept and an entire life as a famous person, but the album is so much more centered around her personal feelings during the Eras Tour.

Brandon N

somewhere taylor said that the max martin medley was a little way to tempt max into working together again

Joakim Holböll

Please! Do the Ryan Seacrest interview! The day gets so much better having a new video from you!👍🏻❤️‍🔥

Julia

I would like to see your Ryan Seacrest reaction and then definitely definitely the acoustic tracks! I did listen to snippets of that interview and I'm interested in your reaction to his questions...

Samantha

I don’t think there was anything that exciting/new in the Ryan Seacrest interview tbh. Would love to hear your voice note reactions though!

Noa

Im dying every time emily say speak NOW😂😂

Rhiannon W.

I had the luxury of going on a private jet once for free (I worked in a high end industry and a client needed me to travel) and it was so convenient. No baggage check, just park and walked on to the plane. It was an insane experience!

Bailey

I think speak now as a concept doesn’t match the song, I agree, but it kind of works for the album. That was her speaking now and writing every song and proving everyone wrong. She spoke now and stopped that narrative that she can’t write her songs. And just the courage she has! Life of a show girl I’m with Emily a little bit! I love the title song but as an album title I almost think it could have been better titled “honey” or something like that? I understand coming after the eras tour like this was the moment to have this title and talk about the life of a showgirl. But I would say all the songs has a totally different energy and conversation that the lie of a show girl. Like idk I had to pick one song that makes the least sense on this specific album I feel like it is life of a show girl? I feel insane sayin that because I love this album SO MUCH. But I think it took so many people out of this album when none of the songs were life of a show girl related besides that one. I know she told us this is about her life behind the curtain and her life while not on stage. But I think people still thought it would be related. Like more about fatigue or doing it with a broken heart in a newly explored version? And like even traveling and the places she was? Idk I’m not making sense but I wish maybe we had 1 or 2 more songs that felt more similar to the life of the show girl track!! Still love the album so much. My personal favorite concept album she has done is midnights (maybe outside of red because obviously).

Dorka

GIRLS, Taylor said the Max Martin medley was a way to impress him, and after the Swedish shows they got together to make the album.

Breezy Bumbles

I blame you for my purchase of those 2 cropped tees that you put on. Maybe you can convince my husband that it was completely necessary???!!! 🤣😂

Anna K

The close up “We’re Australian, Taylor. Do you remember? 😁” Hilarious 🤣

Gustav Lucas

I loved the little debate moment (at the end there, around the theme of the TLOAS title track vs of the album) !!!

Breezy Bumbles

I have been wondering if any of the songs on Tortured Poets were possibly meant for Showgirl? You know how Taylor always comes prepared when she goes into a writing session so she must have had a bunch of ideas before she even got together with Max and Shellback. Maybe ICDIWABH or Clara Bow? Maybe WAOLOM or The Alchemy? Because Showgirl was always planned to be her next album but then TTPD happened unexpectedly and she got sidetracked for awhile. I don’t know.

Breezy Bumbles

Why do you always say the exact same things as me 5 seconds after I type my comments????!!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME! We must have the same brain OR you have trained me well!

Breezy Bumbles

Scott Swift handing out guitar picks are like muscle memory for him! He doesn’t even know he’s doing it!

Lizzie Johnson

I'm sure I saw Max post something on his Insta story as well crediting that medley as the initiating of this album

Dorka

There is a big disconnect yes, because "you don't know the life of a showgirl" then she kind of tells us with the album BUT the love bubble etc make the "life of s showgirl" concept too happy. The poems needed to be songs. That is what actually is the life of a showgirl album!!

Mika B

Yes please react to the Ryan intreveww!!

Breezy Bumbles

Honey is in a similar track position as The Bolter which is perfect for the end of an album because you need a bop to look forward to.

Breezy Bumbles

You did it again. You said what I said 2 seconds later. Why do I even type? I just need to wait!

Breezy Bumbles

Not to bring up gossip or anything but what do you all think about Role Model’s SNL performance with Charli XCX with her wearing a Kansas City shirt? Just wondering if there’s any context that I’m missing or were they dissing Taylor?

Lizzie Johnson

I definitely agree with Bonnie about the Life of a Showgirl, and I think it's in its perfect placement right at the end of the album because it references all the hurdles that she's had to overcome in the showgirl life but how she couldn't be happier and is now doing the thing she loves despite the difficulty. For me, that's the concept of the album and this little gem of a song at the end summarises that <3

Mayra

Yes, I was thinking just this! He got a letter! And had Bonny and Emily energy about it!

Trish Veneziano

It is so refreshing that she can give as much detail as she wants about her real life, and she doesn’t have to negotiate that with her significant other. You can feel her relief.

Zoe

and if I said ruin the friendship and speak now are sister songs?

Marla Lee

Thank you for this ladies👍. You guys can do whatever you want!!! You both are a joy to watch and listen to!! Love your enthusiasm and humor 😆. Makes my day to watch you both ❤️❤️❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻

Courtney

EMILY this is off topic but I just got a signed HAIM cd!!!

Marisa

Of course I'd love to see you react to the Ryan seacrest interview, but I would also be happy for you if you got to enjoy one thing on your own without the pressure of filming. That being said, there is another radio interview with a lady who asks her about rep tv. Also, you are wondering where she went on vacation when ttpd was released? She was in Big Sur / Caramel-by-the-Sea with Bradley Cooper and Gigi.

Taylor Rudie

Emily’s hair looks soooooo gooood in this video tho

Ms. M

And "Right before you lit up my sky" e.g., double meaning with fireworks lighting up the sky on Independence Day.

Mercedes

There was actually a clip from the NY pop-up of Taylor (in the same director's chair as the showgirl film) where she explains that the Max Medley wasn't an Easter egg but her signaling to Max that she'd want to work together again! So it was definitely after the Sweden shows that they started working on the album but probably very soon after!

Dominic Cuomo

I’m just glad that someone actually asked about the Independence Day post

Mira Darling

I was at the Max Martin medley show in Stockholm N3, and I was FREAKING OUT, because I've just been loving the Max bop's since the 1990s really. It has never been cool exactly, and it felt so amazing for Taylor to validate it in a sense. And then, almost 18 months later to get the information that it was that medley that initiated The Life of A Showgirl??? The perfect album??? So healing for my inner child and teen as well. No one can take this away from me, ever. 🥹

Bellibel

Speak now was supposed to be called Enchanted but Taylor’s was convinced by SB to call it speak now.

Marshall

SiriusXM and Bru really was asking THE questions

Marshall

All this talk about album concepts, and yet people forget how truly great the concept of Lover as all different forms, angles and aspects of love is, even Lover the song fits into that description, matching the theme perfectly.

Marshall

As for Speak Now the song in comparison to the concept of the album as a whole personally I think it takes courage and bravery to make a statement standing up for yourself and what you believe as well as it does when fighting for love and risking everything. Both are incredibly vulnerable and powerful and show different sides of the same coin, but I get how that might feel unrelated and hard to grasp or commit to it.

Marshall

If you want to I could listen to you guys react to anything TS related so if you’d like then I’m sure we’d love to see your reactions to Ryan’s one

felicia

Babes i need to know your color season immediately. I just found out im a light spring and im coping. At least it is the same as tay tay

Megan C

I am thinking about the writing of the album and how prominently Max Martin and Shellback were included as producers and writers... I bet she started writing before the European leg but kind of can't say that, because of the way that (seemingly contractually or whatever deal they made) album lists the writing.

Katie K

I think with Speak Now I remember I’d been watching interviews and things before that album came out (OG round) and she’d talked about the concept of speaking now in different forms (a bit like how she did with Midnights) so I understood the concept before I heard the album and so it immediately clicked for me on first listen. I think that helped me rather than fathoming it retrospectively. Which is probably why it’s still in my top 5 fave albums of hers. Perhaps if she’d made the concept of the title track a bit more like It’s Time To Go - with various different concepts of ‘speaking now’ including at a wedding but other instances and then also some personal moments for her that would’ve helped people get it? 💜💜💜

Katie K

Yes to the Ryan Seacrest interview!

Anna Wiechhusen

Interesting. I was assuming it was the other way: stepping into showgirly themes with those two TTPD songs (because she was on tour while writing) and then getting inspired to follow that thread more. Which is kind of my little problem with TLOASG maybe cause I kind of expected songs on her with similar depth as Clara Bow / similar honesty about the behind the scenes emotions as ICDIWABH. Or in other words:what she wrote about in the vinyl poems in song form 🤣

Anna Wiechhusen

YEEEESSSSS that's exactly what I've been thinking!! The poems were exactly what I miss from the album, songs inspired by them would have given so much more depth and would have been so much more on theme

Jade

No but Red and Fearless are the best album titles. What do you mean you are putting out a sophomore album titled Fearless when that must be the most scary thing in the world especially as a teenage girl? And what do you mean you are putting out an album called Red, where you talk about all the different emotions you can feel in a relationship and referring to emotions as colors?? Superior

Colleen Pearce

bonny that hoodie color is giving on you!

kirstie benedict

thank you for doing all these extra SUPERIOR bonuses. you could get away with not doing much, but you love what you do and know so much about taylor. i’m 53, obsessed (sometimes unhealthy) and she’s touched my life and your enthusiasm has touched my life. for some reason, I knew you would get a note or a handwritten letter from her. I hope you one day get to meet her. I wish I had a betsy that was my age but for now I’ll hang with you. you both are beautiful people i can tell so easily and i’ve been hooked since your FREAKED THE F OUT of ATW10 first fathoms. love connecticut, usa

kirstie benedict

i wonder if she wears a cloak now while she writes songs with max/shelbach 😋

kirstie benedict

i love how Taylor is always so proud of what she puts out

kirstie benedict

i’m happy she’s not touring! enjoy your beautiful beautiful life that glistens and is innocent 😇 i forgot the lyrics… ferris wheels,🎡 😘 and timelapse. i haven’t sleep and can’t fathom the beautiful lyrics at the moment

kirstie benedict

sounds like he spoke FOR her. never trusted the man w the goatee

Victoria

speak now slander makes 8 year old me cry

Bison Matt

In terms of "title tracks" let's remember that her label wanted it to be titled 'Speak Now' but Taylor wanted it to be called 'Enchanted' and the label won that battle. I'm not sure if they thought that Enchanted would pigeon-hole her too much, but it would have been an enchanting title! And let's be real, Taylor ALWAYS knows best!

Elli

But she said in the spotify pop-up (on one of the screens) that the Max Martin Medley wasn‘t an easter egg for the fans but a „wink“ to Max to signal she was ready to collaborate with him!! So, I think they began working on the album after that show. I think swiftiesforeternity (olivia) posted it on Instagram back then 🫶🏼

Courtney

On the cursing topic i always think of baby Emily during TLGAD going "she just said bitch!"

Dori McDowell

We definitely made the right person famous! 🫶❤️‍🔥✨️✨️✨️✨️

Jenny MacRunnel

I feel the tracklist is perfect on this album. I love Honey at the end, actually, its just a nice little sweet song right before we get into the closer. Love! Its sooo hard to pick which concept album is the best. Sometimes I think Evermore is the best, because its incredible that she wrapped all of those songs up with one feeling. They are all sooo different, in story and also sonically. The concept is what ties it all together though. Of course Folklore is amazing, but I feel that concept is pretty easy to get to. Evermore is just next level for me. Of course, then there's TTPD....that album just gets better with every listen. I do think with time, its going to be like Evermore, and soon it will be a lot of peoples' favorites.

Christine

She said in New Heights podcast he was even giving them out when he was in the hospital! Lol, love her dad

Emmie

Wow. Interesting discussion about the album title and the concept for each album. Thank you for that. I fathomed some things about speak now!

Celina

Interesting discussion regarding album titles. I never really thought of her albums as concept albums. Her albums always have a general theme or vibe, but I never classified them as “concept albums.” For me, the closest thing to a concept album was Midnights with the “13 sleepless nights.”

✨ Miray ✨

My TTPD sweatshirt and sweatpants are SO thick compared to my TLOASG ones

Cassidy

Oh please share with us what your color palettes are! (Please 🧡)

Sarah

That video was hilarious thank you so much I had many good laughs

Sarah

I agree with Emily with the title track having a little disconnection with the album concept. Like it captures the hardworking/"all in or nothing" aspect of showgirl but not the "sweet bliss/love" of wishlist/honey ...

Juliana Martinez

there is a podcast interview you guys haven’t reacted to! it’s the best of roula and ryan show where taylor talks about new stuff!!! so good

Sarah

Concerning the album titles I feel like: - Reputation is the most iconic - TTPD (and even fearless) is the most "cleverly on point" - Midnights is so Taylor swift core - Folklore is the most ingenious - Red is the most encompassing

Amy Sawyer

Speak Now the song (although I like it sonically) is just such an immature vision.. i think this why it feels out of place on the album. Obviously Taylor was a baby at the time and can be forgiven for this but also--of COURSE there is nothing romantic about ruining someone's wedding so you can "speak your truth" which if it is actually true and true for the other partner, would be something you should have said way before it got to a wedding. And belittling the bride with her gown like a pastry etc is really disappointing. Listening to this song as an adult is not that fun lol

Chevonne

but speak now is all about courage and not regretting what you choose to say!! i think it fits and is really clever to use the metaphor of a wedding :')

Andree

I would like to see a reaction to Ryan secrest interview because I haven’t seen the interview at all

Johanna M

Can you tell us what your personal colour palettes are? So curious!

Aly

Unrelated to the title track discussion, but reacting to the part about Elizabeth Taylor…I’m currently halfway through Elizabeth Taylor: The Grit & Glamour of an Icon and seriously fathoming SO many parallels between them. It’s great for a swiftie book club!there’s a few parts that jump out as similar themes between her diary and some of the writing on TLOAS. For example, in one of Elizabeth’s diary entries she writes “when you are young and you fall off your cloud for the first time, you try to make yourself believe everything is still beautiful.” It reminded me immediately of the imagery in Eldest Daughter of falling off a trampoline, learning cautious discretion, but still managing to view life and life as something mostly beautiful and desireable and eventually finding that truth. So many of her entries remind me of Taylor’s outlook on life and love. But beyond that, as Taylor said, she’s just an incredible human. I always knew her for her iconic glamour, but never her true story until reading this!! I love that Taylor is excited that we’d be curious and interested in Elizabeth’s life almost as a window to understanding her more deeply. So fun reading this alongside this era!!!

Kaylee

i personally think speak now as the album title makes perfect sense! lots of the songs are her literally speaking her mind and not caring what people might think about it, much like the song mentioning it in a wedding concept. i feel like it couldn’t be named any other song title because none would capture it. mine? never grow up? long live? none make more sense! but great convo to think about

Kathryn Lujan

“they’re so witty, they’re so smart.” she’s literally talking about YOU GUYS

Danielle

It’s always just been a fantasy though, I don’t see it as any bride being disrespected, but that’s just my opinion of course.

Gabby V

bonny rapping eldest daughter has me dead😭😭

Izzzy Federgreen

I love love love the random side tangent about how iconic 50 cent is thank you Bonny! 😂 he’s such an icon I’m particularly obsessed with the fact that in 2018 someone he had beef with (ja rule) attempted to make a comeback in music and 50 cent bought up the first 4-5 rows of seats (200+ seats) to the opening night so that ja rule would have to preform in front of empty chairs 😂 and then he photoshopped himself into one of the empty seats 🤪 legend frfrfr

Kristin Ranae

My fav album is evermore. But... I think reputation is her best concept album. With the name and imagery in the snakes. 100% Also I love this albums concept with the imagery matching the Title so well.

Hayden Smith

Emily's face whenever we get an Austin mention 😂

Anna

This is my favorite class * continues taking notes *

Layla

I feel like ‘Speak Now’ has meaning outside of the individual song title. It is her only fully self written album to date and that’s her way of saying ‘hear me speak’ i have things to say, the whole album is her telling her own stories in her own words. I am Speaking NOW! Just a thought, that could be the concept 🙂

Andrew

This!! I’ve been waiting specifically for them to get to this interview! Hopefully they find out about it and get to it at some point!! 🤞🤞

Andrew

This is the one I’ve been patiently waiting for them to watch

domdodom

let's hope they watch since bonny it's a huge rep fan 🙂

isabel

i’m just getting around to this video but oh my GOODNESS that is exactly how i feel when singing and FEELING the eldest daughter bridge 😮‍💨😭🙂‍↕️😩🥹

Kels

Someone might have mentioned this already but she did have an Instagram clip when she released one of the acoustic versions of her in the studio and I swore she was singing The Life of a Showgirl and then said "I think that may be the title of the album right there' and she started giggling and getting excited and I think Max Martin and Shellback were in the room!

Zosia Dabrowski

Bonny is 100% an autumn and I think Emily is a summer!

Emzies

I feel similar to Emily about the concept of Showgirl and the song, but in reverse. I think the song very much encapsulates the theme Taylor spoke about and wants to convey; I just don’t think most of the other songs fit the narrative.
