Bonny you live in this trousers ❤️❤️❤️ please tell us where is it from? 🙏🏻

Léa

Thank you guys for this SUPERIOR ranking 🫶🏻 Fingers crossed that the next video will be the reaction to Carolina 🤞🏻🧡

MarkH

Sweeter than Fiction actually has even fewer streams than A Perfectly Good Heart, with about 8 million, because it has no album home, so you have to really look for it. So It Goes has 85 million, which for a normal artist would be amazing, but it is the least streamed song on Rep.

MarkH

So in Wildest Dreams, does she say "my last request i-is" or "my last request, it is"? I have never been able to decide!

MarkH

Loved the analysis of Ivy. Two other things; the beautiful almost-rhyme with "grieving" and "living". and also, her singing! She really sings that pre-chorus epically well. She puts so much emotion and character in only two lines. This couplet is real poetry.

Maria Carmen

Em, thank you for fighting for The Story of us!!!! YES!!! Iconic video like always, halfway through and not coping with how offensive all these pre-choruses are 💗

MarkH

On Dancing With our Hands Tied, I just note that in fact Taylor was wrong; Joe could take it. For someone who is always the smartest person in the room, that's a big thing. She is not often wrong.

De Shayna

You guys need to watch the summer I turned pretty, the director and writer of the book is a major swiftie

Maria Carmen

ooh a reaction to how they integrated Taylor' songs would be so fun!!

Joe Weaver

Ooohhhh, The Story Of Us is one of my favorites! I really don't listen to Speak Now enough. Although I did last night before I fell asleep! Didn't make it all the way. I started fading during Last Kiss.

Joe Weaver

It's wild how much watching the reputation Tour enhanced so many of those songs. And the guitar-only version of DWOHT turned into a different song for me. Love it so much.

Joe Weaver

Yay for Bonny putting a B at the end! I need to know what voice to read these in. 😂

Lea

I am begging you PLEASE do a video ranking Taylors best metaphors!!!! I love you and this series of videos is absolutely offensive!!❤️

Lea

I LOVE the sound effects that you put in every time you announce a new song!!! Top tier editing bonny!!!

Joe Weaver

OK, OK, OOOOOK!!!! I love the little graphics & song snippet when you announce each song. Especially when each song is in the album's colors! That Taylor has album colors is, um, very Taylor. (Lea just said this above me!) These lists are great because you get to talk about songs from all eras at the same time! It's so much fun. Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! You are talking about Story Of Us as I'm typing. "I've never heard silence quite this loud" is one of my favorite TS lyrics! Ahh! Emily just said that as I typed it! Anyway! 😂😂 I just gasped as you announced Wonderland at #6. That song is so superior!!! Oh, You Belong With Me...so right on that. I knew that pre-chorus as a casual TS fan! Definitely one of the most famous. Alright, I can't believe I'm freaking out watching this video at 6 am. It's better than sleeping though. I'll pay for it later today but that's ok. It's worth it. ❤️

Louise Petersen

WONDERLAND IS SO SUPERIOR THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING IT!!! Also these videos are highly educational and I'm now really fathoming Right Where You Left Me and I actually don't have the emotional capacity to fully grasp the places the song is now sending me

Joe Weaver

This video is amazing so I'm back. LWYMMD...I'm pretty sure Taylor said I Did Something Bad was inspired by Game of Thrones. I won't say what part not to spoil but Arya & Sansa are involved. Oh wow, Fearless Vault appearance at #4. Ok, that's enough. I love this video so much!!!

Johanna M

Thanks for all the WORK you put into this videooo! At first I was like nah, pre-choruses? But when we entered the top ten I thought there are some really great one's you picked!

jana

yesss im so excited to watch this🧡🧡🧡

Jennifer Grant

I definitely think the list of names is an Arya Stark reference because when she met Maisie Williams at the Brit awards Maisie captained her Instagram pic with Taylor as "Look what you made me do" and Taylor captained her Instagram pic with "I got a list of names and yours in in..glittery gel pen with hearts drawn around it" so I just KNOW that Taylor had a discussion with Maisie telling her Arya's character inspired her lyrics in LWYMMD

Joe Weaver

This video could have been Top Pre-Choruses, also known as reputation is that bitch. 7 rep songs! Anyway, this was so much fun!

Rachel Boose

A random video idea that might be of interest is to breakdown the worst/most out of the box rumors over the years of Taylor, and sort of debunk them. When you were discussing Wonderland it made me think how people were speculating that was really about Diana Argon and her having a relationship. 👀 Not to further spread old rumors or bring up bad times for Blondie, but just a thought 😁😁 love you guys!

Emily

🧡🧡🧡

Brandon Yip

will you two react to Carolina?

Mille Kragerup

Now that we’ve been talking more about lover it would be soo cool if you guys could react to Cornelia street live from Paris it’s so amazing!! And the lover diaries of course!🥰

Julia

one of my favorite series so far!!

Alice

Please react to Carolina when it comes out at midnight!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Julia

AHHH pls react to carolina tn!!

Ethan Nguyen

PLEASE REACT TO CONAN GRAY'S NEW ALBUM "SUPERACHE" I KNOW THAT BONNY IS A FAN AND YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO REACT TO HIS DEBUT ALBUM "KID KROW TOO"

Ethan Nguyen

ALSO PUNISHER BY PHOEBE BRIDGERS IS SO GOOD AND TAYLOR HAS SAID THAT PHOEBE IS HER FAVORITE ARTIST

CK

YES! thank you for giving Superman the love it deserves! I so love her pre- choruses. I think you are right that some of them really make the song. Thank you for sharing this! Do you think you will react to Carolina when it drops tonight/tomorrow depending on your time zone?

Julia

I am shook by these iconic pre-choruses that I never fathomed before! Loving this series so much ❤️ I think a fun spin off could be ranking what you think are Taylor's best love songs, breakup songs, bops, best lyrics, production, metaphors etc. Love hearing you talk about different songs from all the albums in one video

izzie packer

THE SCREAM I LET OUT WHEN YOU SAID SUPERMAN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!! love it so so so much its so underrated. this list was superior, but I know places so should've been an honourable mention. the "WE RUN" has the same energy as superman "I LOVED U FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY" and I will die on that hill.

MarkH

Here's hoping Taylor starts occupying our time with new stuff, with Carolina tonight just the first thing, but if not, let me put in a vote for a best outros video, and a recommendation for Our Song.

Jenna Aguirre

My list was pretty similar to yours! My honorable mentions are: Getaway Car I Know Places Should’ve Said No False God All of these songs have other ICONIC parts besides the pre-chorus though, so I understand why they weren’t included!

Jenna Aguirre

Wait what was the “THAT BITCH” song you mentioned at the beginning that you said would be revealed at the end that could be a top song in every category?? My guesses were Getaway Car or All Too Well.

Jenna Aguirre

They said in another video that they would be reacting to the City of Lover concert! And I think they confirmed that they would ready lover diary entries too!

MarkH

What about Betty? The pre-chorus is repeated 3 times, with the third time significantly changed and the best of them The pre-chorus begins with "You've heard the rumors from Inez", and the last pre-chorus is the one that leaves you hanging "Yeah, I showed up at your party"---yes, and then what happened, what happened???

MarkH

And also a small plug for The Lucky One pre-choruses. "And now my name is up in lights...". Just two lines each time, but all 3 are different and they convey a lot of information.

julialovesaugust

love this vid!! PLEASE DO A CAROLINA REACTION I AM BEGGING

Regina Phalange

I agreed with so much of this except where was all too well?? She changes the pre chorus both times, it’s offensive and superior in every way! “I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to” EXCUSE ME WHATTTT

Vanessa

Loved the video! Never thought about pre-chorus but it was great!!! Also random question what Taylor Tattoo do y'all have? I though i remember you saying you both have one

MarkH

They used All Too Well in their best bridges video, so they are trying to spread the love around!

Ambika Rao

Never really thought to breakdown pre choruses before! Love this!! You guys are taking me even farther into my taylor obsession and I am very happy about it haha

Caitlyn Martin

I am obsessed with this series!!! So clever and enjoyable to watch!

MarkH

Two more things from me and then I promise I will stop. First, Style! I don't know if those are pre-choruses or not, but they are definitely fantastic! Especially the way she says "I've been there too a few times" and the laughs afterwards. Yet another example of Taylor putting so much emotion into the way she says or sings something. Style is one of the most iconic pop songs ever for a lot of reasons but this part is definitely one of them, And second, I am really fascinated to see how this goes over on Youtube. I haven't looked yet. To me, this video has so much added value, because, as you say, no one ever thinks about pre-choruses or even knows what one is. Honestly, I'm not sure I understand the difference between a. long verse and a verse and a pre-chorus. So, to me, this is one of your best videos ever (though there is stiff competition). But the flip side of that is that the concept of a pre-chorus might be offputting to people who don't want music to be this complicated.

D

emily always stands up for my fav songs, i love it!! i knew haunted would be her first honourable mention because it is superior!!

Starbuck1234!

How did I miss this for 18hrs!!!

lizzy

this is exactly how i felt finding this! came because of carolina because i wanted to be checking the patreon immediately until something happens!

Kelly McCord

y’all should do more stuff on HAIM! absolutely love them saw them twice recently 😩

Alice

Omg besties I hope you’re fathoming the new Carolina song right now because it is CHILLING how beautiful it is. Can’t wait to see your reactions!💕 there are two versions and I think you guys should react to both! Some of the notes are different in the longer version!

Emily 🌷🦋🌸🌿🌊

Would you ever consider doing a Conan Gray album reaction? He’s part of the Taylor universe!! ❤️

Matilde Nordhus

Love this!! The only one I miss is Renegade. "And if I would have known how many pieces you had crumbled into, I might have let them ley" - and then changing it to "sharp" at de end- it's just too much. Genius says the first one is part of verse 1, and the second is the bridge - but that just doesn't make sense to me.

Jade

I love hearing your take on songs. The Ivy pre chorus for example… I take ‘grieving for the living’ as she is grieving for the relationship she wants but can’t have because she is married. She is grieving the relationship she could have with her lover. X

Dswiftie

I want to tell you that I really enjoyed this video. I know you both put a lot of time and energy into your videos. But I can tell that you also put a lot of yourselves into your videos. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I think you are right about no one else doing videos like this. When you guys do a video about Taylor I feel like you are in your groove. I mean it is your area of expertise. You do it so well while also enjoying it. That and the fact that you are unique makes you both so awesome. I never thought about breaking her songs down by their pre-chorus. That was great. I love you both!

Tessa Shabram

Omg I have so much to say! I was so shocked that Wildest Dreams almost didn’t make the cut because that pre chorus is SUPERIOR, but then I heard the rest of the choices and I get it now, there’s just too many superior pre choruses!! Second, the second pre chorus in The Story of Us is THE BEST PRE CHORUS EVER and I BELT it every time it comes on. Third, I’ve never fathomed that these parts are pre choruses and a lot of these songs are my favorites, which is making me realize that I love a good pre chorus!!

Luli Diaz

Am I the only one seeing two different colored boobies on a vase? Hahahaha

Naomi Stern

Wow... this was so hard to fathom!! what an amazing service you have done for the fandom right here. I think I might have ranked ivy and wildest dreams higher, but honestly this was super well done. I was soooo stoked that story of us was on here, this song doesn't get enough attention <3

Val Flores

I need spotify lists for each of these categories

Val Flores

You should do one of these rankings for her life performances (or even one per tour if you want to separate them)

Anna

EMILY i am sooo happy you keep standing up for haunted, it is my favourite Taylor swift song and I can not explain why it is just a perfect song which just gives me the best feeling!!!

Devan

Ok, LOVING these!! Thank you so much for stellar content! Just throwing it out there though… what about ranking your favorite TS characters (Blank Space, August, etc.) I love to hear y’all’s opinions on all these things honestly 🤩

Joe Weaver

It's kind of hypnotic! I mean that in a good way. Then I read what the book/movie is about and it all made more sense. Very interesting she wrote it during the folklore/evermore sessions. I'm just constantly blown away by her versatility. Which is what this Pre Chorus video also highlighted. It's impossible to get tired of her because of it.

Heather Gunn

Can you please to do a livestream soon!? You're the only Swifties I interact with and I live for all of your videos. :) I hope you both are having a great day!

Clara

I always felt like she said "it is". Just my opinion!

Clara

They have to or I will CEASE TO EXIST

Joe Weaver

It's Bonny's birthday! Fun that Bonny & Emily have birthdays so close to each other! Welcome to being in the same age decade (30's) as me, Bonny! Oh and as Taylor too! 😂 🎂 And we're both Cancers. My birthday is a week from Sunday!

Joe Weaver

The Spotify lyrics say that "it is" is the correct answer!

Joe Weaver

I think I mashed your name into Leah Elm when I said what I said below this. Corrected!

Léa

Happiest of birthdays to you Bonny !! 🥳🎁 have fun with your friends

Courtney A

Loved this video! One of my favs that wasn’t mentioned is “Babe”! The pre-course changes, then she combines both for the bridge, because she knows it’s superior!

Alice

Are you guys still planning to breakdown the Fearless vault tracks?? I’ve been looking forward to it since you mentioned you may do it in the Joker and the Queen reaction video 😍💛💛

MarkH

Unfortunately, the Spotify lyrics app is not reliable. There are lots of examples; one of them is in tis the damn season, where Spotify says it is "It always leads to you in my hometown", but the much more reliable Genius (and my ears) says it is "It always leads to you and my hometown". A really terrible example is in Olivia's "jealousy, jealousy" where Spotify has it "I know that beauty is not my lack", when the correct lyrics are "I know their beauty's not my lack". Olivia should sue over that one, honestly, because it makes her look like she is boasting when she is not. Genius has Wildest Dreams as "my last request is".

Karen

Love this video, but off topic. I have heard that Bonnie has another YouTube channel and I would love to watch that, what’s it’s called? Also do the girls have instagram? I would love to follow them? 😊

Alison

QUESTION. Do you know MUNA? As long time Swifties, I know you appreciate: strong female songwriters, musicians, clever songwriting, smart word choices, songs that are interesting all the way through, lyric changes, iconic bridges, lyrics that pierce your soul but somehow are also empowering bops. I only began listening just last week, but I can't live without their music now! They are signed to Phoebe Bridgers's's record label, and have toured with HS.

MarkH

She is Bonny Rebecca on YouTube. That channel is very much a lifestyle channel, with some product endorsements. I think it was Bonny's main job before this Patreon, and probably still is. The intended audience is clearly younger women, so not me. But Bonny is still her usual awesomely brave and honest self. And Emily comes on to guest-star from time to time.

Madeline

Girls, that’s super random but which TEA are you drinking and HOW do you drink your tea? Every time you take a sip from your beautiful cups in the videos I want one too hahaha and I just have to know - amongst besties you know 😂🥰

Jule

I think it might be ivy? It was both in this and the bridge ranking video, if I remember correctly. And the chorus of ivy is also SUPERIOR.

Jill

I just discovered MUNA in the last few weeks too! Love them.

Catalina Borreani

no explanation needed King Of My Heart is in my top 5 favorite songs. it has already been featured by you girlies in the two categories :) bye

Suzanne Gabrentina

Already have a playlist on spotify! I will be listening to this list on repeat 🔁 💜 “Superior T.S. Pre-Choruses by Chats and Reacts”

Alison

Awesome! What are your favorite songs so far? I love Promise, Navy Blue, Solid, What I Want, Silk Chiffon.

Maria Carmen

Yes Catalina, same here!! Offensive top 5 💗

Maria Carmen

I guess the core message of this video is: Reputation is that pre-chorus bad bitch 🖤

Joe Weaver

Yep! I said that somewhere above when I was freaking out watching this last week in an early morning fog cause I woke up & saw a new video from Australia on my phone and decided to watch Bonny & Em instead of go back to bed. 😂

Joe Weaver

I discovered Bonny's YT when the algorithm gave me the video she did for when she went to the reputation Tour. It's a fun video. She had great seats.

Joe Weaver

I Know Places need a spot on one of these lists! And we should try to get a little Debut representation if we can! 🙂

Joe Weaver

I think the girls got surprised by Carolina. And Bonny had a birthday weekend planned & now it seems like she went to Melbourne from her IG stories so...announce these things sooner Taylor so our girls can plan their video making! 😂

Joe Weaver

Nope, I was wrong. They filmed it last week apparently & it just took time to process!

MarkH

So what Joe is saying in above is: Go to Youtube because Emily and Bonny's Carolina reaction is there!

emma cullen

Wonderland is so obviously about Dianna… it’s painful to me that people think it’s a out Harry 🥲 why does everything always have to be seen through a heteronormative lense. Are there any fellow Gaylors out there 🙋🏼‍♀️ For me, viewing her songs through a queer lense have helped to understand so much of what she is trying to convey. But I can imagine if you’re not queer yourself it is not something you’re going to necessarily be considering. Dianna literally had a tumblr account that I followed for YEARS called ‘Fell down the rabbit hole’ and Alice and wonderland quote tattoo’d on her

Joe Weaver

Yes, that's what I was saying without saying exactly that. 😂

Lauren Levitt

Would love you guys to react to Him by Harry Styles! If anyone doesn’t know it’s an unreleased Harry song that’s so about Taylor it hurts! Or maybe a ranking video of songs from other artists about Taylor 😆

Wynne

All Too Well will always be a hard-hitting one for me. The build. The Perspective. Just immaculate.

Wynne

Love that Lauren! I commented something similar...Would love to see that <3

tasneem

im so late but like ya'll should rank Taylor Swift album closers and openers
