"i can't talk to you like this" is said by Brendan and thats from False God the pink phone we see during the cloud scene is the phone from Our Song video

Jade

The sky looks like a pastel stained glass ceiling when the parade is happening and Brendan jumps from the window. Nod to The Man with women having the proverbial glass ceiling??

Sofia

i can't hear itttt, during the conversation between taylor and brendon you mean?

Joe Weaver

If we get a Cruel Summer video I will not be able to say... JE SUIS CALME!!!!!

Park Aishah

I thought I was 1st, but then Joe's here already...

Joe Weaver

I commented first & then watched the video. 😂

Joe Weaver

This really is an amazing video. And the Wildest Dreams tangent was a fun time too. I'd never thought of that. Just give us a 15-minute spectacular special with Wildest Dreams & Cruel Summer live, Taylor! I'd be thrilled beyond with that. Emily, yeah its always 1989 for me. Doesn't mean I don't love them all but if you forced me to pick just one to listen to. It's 1989. Good to know you're with ME! Back to the video...I remember watching this right when it premiered. Which is slightly odd cause I didn't go Swiftie until last year. But it found me & I was interested enough (the Swiftieness was always in me it seems, it just took a long time for me to realize it). Anyway, I think this song is unfairly rated by the fans cause it was the lead single. It's kinda like Shake It Off was. It was a fun song to kick off the era and that's ok. (OK, everyone else can play now)

Hey! You guys talked on your live about that maybe Taylor would surprise release a re-recorded album, and maybe it would then be smart to breakdown speak now sometime soon? Because we’ll never know if she does something like that :) thank you for your awesome videos!!

Louisa Hunskjær

just when brendon throws the flowers away while they're on the roof, you can see big ben and palace of westminister in the background referencing london boy (and joe ofc) and they're actually also in the background when there is the big pink army of people haha, with tower bridge as well

Dswiftie

thank you so much for this video. I really needed this. Just the thought of this community not existing is too much to even think about. I love you guys so much. I remember watching your first video and I knew you guys were the real deal and gonna be here. i had watched so many other channels that had done reactions to Taylor. You guys were special. I'm so glad that it did happen. This is definitely one of her most colorful videos. I predicted if you will recall that the reason Taylor hasn't given us a re-record or new album was because of their engagement and them celebrating. I think there are wedding plans being made. I'm so happy for her! Thanks for everything you do. Emily I love 1989 too. Who doesn't.

Samskie

There are also 3 chics in a picture at the start - for The Chicks on soon you'll get better x

Samskie

Ah yes that's mentioned further in by you guys haha!!

Samskie

With the 60s style dancing and Beatles style crowd screaming at them , I've always thought it's a nod to the 60s often been referred to as a time of love - like summer of love etc

CK

Thank you for sharing! It's always so nice to hear your thoughts. A couple of Easter eggs you probably already know but just in case: While speaking French at the beginning Taylor says "I can't talk to you when you're like this" which is a false god line. The pink phone is the same phone from her 'Our Song' music video as well as being a nod to the rep phone. The room she is in with the snake shaped clouds also looks a lot like the queen of snakes throne room from 'Look what you made me do'. As she exits the cloud room there are also some shadows of things that aren't in the room with her which I think is an Archer reference. The umbrellas are a nod to both Singing in the Rain and Mary Poppins. When she is on the roof with the Unicorn you can see in the background the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) and St. Paul's Cathedral. They also come back in the transition from the Wizard of Oz emerald city palace to the rainbow bridge with the singing in the rain dance. But in that quick transition you can also see tower bridge with them. This could be a hint at 'London Boy' And then just a thought I've always had but couldn't say it is for sure her meaning. Reptiles when they are about to shed their skin get really pale. So I thought that perhaps that was why the snake looked so pale at the start of the video. She is 'shedding' her snake skin, so to speak.

MarkH

An amazing video! I think her videos are like her songs; she always does those extra things to keep you interested. There is just so much detail she throws in that some one else would not do. One thing I saw that you did not mention was the first words Brendan says "You are so dramatic!". I wondered if that could be a reference to the Lover line "Swear to be overdramatic and true". Though, really, the whole video is like the definition of overdramatic!

Charlotte Nixon

WHY did I only now notice the parallels between the french “I can’t talk to you when you’re like this” and false god “You can’t talk to me when I’m like this”?!

Niali Oliver

I would love to see your thoughts on Harry’s new MV!!! 🛏🧦💖

BratNDaHwz

Taylor is the QUEEN of making lemonade (folklore/evermore) out of lemons (🛴).

Justyne Redd

Also the angel that plays the piano rolls her eyes.. “devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes”

Cassandra

The 60s set is a direct reference to hairspray! It’s the same dance :)

Jackie

Okay but I’m obsessed with Emily’s Bleachella hair 😍

mieke

What fucks me up in retrospective is the End Game lyric "reputation precedes me“ because you know… reputation literally preceded ME! 🤯

Katie

Emily! Please dish on where you got your sweater!

M3L

Could that be an Easter egg that the Paul McCartney was one of the “friends” who was going to join her for Loverfest?? Didn’t he say in their Rolling Stone interview that he planned on inviting her to one of his cancelled concerts??

Samskie

Oh yes actually, I had not thought of that!

chatsandreacts

Donna you’re making me teary 🥹🥹 we love you and this community!!!

chatsandreacts

Charlotte SAMEEEEE what 😭😭😭 there is 100% many Easter eggs that have gone over our heads for so long

chatsandreacts

Yes! It’s from a local brand here called Zulu & Zephyr!

Chez

Every scene is a link to a musical where the core of it is about Love in loads of different forms (I think). The scene where they are on the roof with lover in the background is based off of Moulin Rouge! Where they sing the elephant live melody on the roof of the elephant (except obv they’ve made it into a unicorn 😂) and the Lover sign is the same as the one on the side of the building which says L’Amour which is Love in French! The 60s reference I think is a link to Hairspray (could be wrong tho). Then you’ve got Mary Poppins, with the flying with umbrellas. Signing in the rain at the end. And when they are skipping down a brick road (with all the people) wearing the emerald suits I think is a link to Wizard of Oz! Again I could be completely wrong and I have no clue what the first one is but that’s what I’ve always thought about why the sceneries are like that!

C

this is random but would you guys ever consider reacting to sabrina carpenter's new album 'emails I can't send'? I just listened for the first time and it's soooo offensive, her songwriting is really something on this record

Floran

I think another Easter egg is the final scene with the paint referencing Miss Americana&the Heartbreak Prince: “we paint the town blue”

mariana

I've always thought the sky in that scene with the unicorn and lover in the background had a special meaning. Looks like they are inside of a butterfly chrysalis (which matches the butterflies everywhere in the mv and the era) and so Lover is about to hatch and be released to the world 🥰

Alison

Always love reading your insights!

Cecilia Sparke

You know how people were puzzled by why Taylor chose this as her 1st song to release from Lover... do you think maybe it's a message to Scott Borchetta, that he'll never find someone else like Taylor for his record label?!? 'I promise that you'll never find another like me'! This was the first song she released since leaving Big Machine and the first song she released that she owned. I love thinking this is an 'up yours' message to Scott 🤭😄

Victoria

Did anyone else notice that when Calvin Harris tweeted nastily about Taylor revealing she co-write ‘This is what you came for’, that in one of the tweets he said ME in capitals?

Victoria

I think St Paul’s Cathedral is behind too?

Victoria

This is amazing! Shedding the snake skin is so clever by her but for you for spotting it too!

Joe Weaver

Thanks, Alison!! ❤️

Joe Weaver

That's a fun way to look at it but I'm pretty sure it's kind of a different version of "I'm a mess but I'm the mess that you wanted" to Joe from DWOHT just this in really bright, shiny colors.

Alice

Loved this! Can’t wait to see more lover music video breakdowns ❤️ I think there are lots of Easter eggs in Delicate too

emma cullen

Does nobody get the clear links to the Pride parade?? 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 like she literally says “like a rainbow with all of the colours” in it… it’s in screaming colour!!!

Hannah Bessette

Just totally fathomed that the snake on the color road at the begging could be a a call out to “Cracked her bones on the pavement she once decorated as a child with sidewalk chalk.”

chatsandreacts

omg I love this, that scene on the roof definitely gives moulin rouge energy 😍

chatsandreacts

Never thought of it like that Cecilia but I love it haha, she was right!

elli

omg, I was also supposed to see her in Norway. Don't think I'll ever get over the disappointment lol.

samara💞

can you guys react to sabrina carpenter new album?????? PLEASEEE

Hanna Kulla

you both look so offensive in this🥰the matching hair bye

Jenna Aguirre

I just know you both would love Gracie Abrams’ EP called Minor

Hannah S

I also think the vibe of the roof top scene is like It’s Nice to Have a Friend “light pink skies, up on the roof”. Not to mention Brendan Urie is her friend. Maybe not intentional but cute anyway!

Jaylennn

plz do a speak now breakdown 😭 😭 😭

Minni

I think the stairs in the ”clowdy room” are the same as in Look what you made me do ”tea scene”! But obviously in white. And ties in with the phone in the room etc!

Starbuck1234!

This video is so packed full of interesting bits. Yes to the links to Wizard of Oz, there is a brick road and a view of Emerald City in one view. There is a view of London in another. The link to Mary Poppins, the umbrellas and the rooftops. But, my fave is the Singing in the Rain link. Its always been Singing in the Rain. AND….. Joseph Kahn has even confirmed (which I always thought of) that the ending rain scene of Delicate was inspired by Singing in the Rain. It sure is, nothing says Singing in the Rain more than the ending ME! Scene and the ending Delicate scene. Its perfect. She is a genius.

Gee Vee

"you can't spell awesome without ME" is such NOT a TS lyric though. worst bridge ever. somewhat cringe. Am I the only one who thinks of those rainbow paddle pop ice creams at the end? haha.

Johanna M

This music video is much better than I remembered, I thought it was just silly and fun but then there are 10k easter eggs. 😄🦋

Sofie

Same! I hope she will come here again someday in the future

Brooke

also don't forget that at the beginning you can hear the record player and its playing you need to calm down but superrrr slowed down

Carly

I am watching this a few weeks after Midnights dropped. I wondering if she included the '60's themed concert because she knew that Midnights was next and it would be '60s themed? We know the Lover house theory is correct now. So concerning that she said she would drop Easter eggs 3 years in advance!

sofie sandrini

also "collided scope of memories" in I knew you were trouble MV (in her speech in the start)
