somehow even more mentally ill than my reaction to the first part of the album lmfaoo!! Thanks everyone sooo much for watching liking and commenting on all the things in this massive DELUGGEEE we've dumped upon you all. It's been a lot of work (and for me a lot of crying) but fuck it, it was just SO MUCH FUN!!! This was our first full LP release since launching the patreon and I think it went amazing, even with the sheer amount to intake and digest.

If you'll excuse me I'm gonna go take a night off now LMFAO!! Love you all and love this community!!!!!

chappell roan

write the double album sharp enough to kill a lizard

Zara Hennessy

I’m so scared to watch because then it will be over

Abby

spare album reaction , queen?

Alex M

This is like the mona lisa to me

The Black Dog

Not to sound like broken record but Zach please do Witness retrospective you promised once you have time. You are the only one you could do real justice on how Katy, one of the biggest Pop Stars is not relevant anymore. btw I love your reactions a lot! Madie and you are real🔥🔥🔥

madfem

unrelated but thanks lizard for putting me on to Flyana boss 🔝

Francesca White

One of my faaaavs on this was Peter but Zach didn't really like it so I'm so excited to see if you do! (or if I'm just the weird one coz I don't see a lot of talk about this track 💀)

Ciara

Can't wait to watch 💕

Nick

CHLOE OR SAM OR SOPHIA OR MARCUS STANS GET UPPPPP!!!!

Alaina

I wish I could describe the CACKLE that came out of my mouth at the end of your first reaction video when you said “I’m gonna go edit this and then I can finally be done.” Clearly we can’t let our guards down for even a second around here. Loved part 1, can’t wait to watch this one🤍

shannymac

Chester is yowling like “it’s okay mom, don’t cry” 😹😹😹

Alex M

Realest Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus reaction ever actually...

Forty2times

An albatross used to be good luck until a sailor killed it. Then it turned into an omen of bad luck. His ship mates made him wear it like a necklace, a stain, to always remind him of how he ruined their luck forever.

Jackie Lehman 💅🏼

Y'all are so full-time job right now. 🤣 thank you so much!!!! Xoxoxo

Lisaboo

Thank you Madeline and Zach for SO much content.

Lisa Hurley

Chester is also fuming after hearing Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus

Vanessa Vieites

So high school reminds of an early 2000s romcom

Meghan Corban

I knew when I was listening to the second album .. “this is going to break the lizard…” and it broke me too. How did it end is everything to me I still can’t listen to it yet without crying

Chas

I hope Aaron knows how to fight cos this has such evermore vibes that I’m about to move to the woods and become a vampire witch ghost and never return 👱🏻‍♀️

Victoria weisheit

who is adrienne maloof in this world took me OUT 😭 love watching your reactions!!

Michelle Smith

The lizard says so much by saying nothing at all! Your reaction videos have made this release so special! Thank you for your service 🫶

laura zonta

Thank you for the reaction, I need to know what did you get it from the Manuscript bacause i definitely didn't get the Dylan O'Brien thing

Raphaëlle

Yesssssss. Like this is the kind of song that could be the soundtrack to a Lindsay Lohan movie or featured on an episode of The OC or One Tree Hill

Ally ❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💔🥹

Katrina Kauffman

i’m just a girl who lives in delusion but to me Peter is Hayloring so hard

Rachel

There's an interview with Travis from Nov last year that talks about him and Taylor dueting Teenage Dirtbag. I think so high school could be a callback to that! The sounds of those songs are so similar

Joan Chan

Thank you for all your hard work and sharing the reactions and the analysis!! You and Zach are an essential part of how I became a Taylor Swift fan this past year and this album release content has been so appreciated ❤️

treesap

Enjoy your time off 🥰🫶 thank you for all this delicious content!!!

Ally ❤️

I love your heart Madeline. Thank you for sharing so transparently with us. 💔

Burtasaurusrex11

Thank you Madeline! Completing my weekend! I just finished doing a marathon listening of The Lizard Review. Now, another treat from you!

Burtasaurusrex11

Kris Jenner works hard, but Zack and Madeline work harder.

Burtasaurusrex11

I love The Black Dog. I'm glad that's the delux version I got.

Sandra

chester is a real one for crying along with you 😭

Hugh Gatchell

Madeline’s reactions make me feel seen lol

Hattie

Chester crying in the background killlled me 😂 Loved this reaction!! Thank you Snakes for all your hard work, you guys are my fave thing about being a Swifty 🫶🏻

Burtasaurusrex11

Oh Madeline. Seeing you cry is making me cry again 😭 I'm glad I'm not the only one some of these hit hard.

Lindsay

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus stans rise up

LH

This album is really giving us the whole picture. From being a super bright child who had a million dreams and a vivid inner life to a very public adult for whom many of her dreams came true. But the dream of lifelong partnership just can’t. She still does her thing but it’s at that cost. And maybe she would always have this issue no matter her profession

Katy Kendrick

Peter is also one of my favorites! It's soothing and catchy at the same time.

Paulrissa

The only thing that isn’t them is the age 25, but I do wonder if some of these songs are her muses mixing together to just create brilliant music.

Arly Hernandez

Madeline you killed me when you held up Van Gogh and said “do you think he gave up” 😭😭😭😭

macy

chester 💀💀💀

Krista Dabel

Girrrrlll…. The Peter Pan reference. The last reference was in cardigan… which, is that not the song she played right after she mouthed “this is about you, you know who you are, I love you” like a PSYCHOPATH!? Everything must be reexamined! 😫

Allison

The second I saw the name Peter my brain lost it.. went straight to Peter Pan… Cardigan, tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy, “this song is about you, you know who you are, I love you”…..thinking of it as Taylor is singing as Wendy to Matty who is Peter.. deranged.

G

Same! I thought about Jake but why Dylan instead? The actors were hitting their marks - when she revisited the love affair directing atwtmvtv..?

Lucia Navarro

I had a mental breakdown watching this omfg

Michaela Wagner

Our albatross reactions being exactly the same… I’m nodding

sienna🕊

i am OBSESSED with i look in people’s windows , loved to hear u also wished it was longer , saw some people calling it a flop…….. well they are tasteless

sienna🕊

not everyone is looking in people’s windows quite like we do

Renata Faustina

I had the same shock about Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus. It's a career highlight for me. One of her most vulnerable paintings of a decade-long flame that intertwines severe issues one is too young to learn those can't be solved by "loving someone enough". She really has a strong pen game when it comes to melancholic wondering.

Courtney Erat

me making connections between i hate it here and your analysis of saturn on TLR ✍️

Haden Williams

madelineeee, we love you. i’m obsessed with these reactions

Tia

Joe Alwyn is someone who she met at 25. I think she says this in Dancing with our hands tied that he was that age when they met. Plus cardigan has a line about Peter losing Wendy. So I’m a bit confused at whether this is about Joe or Matty since cardigan is allegedly about Matty.

Tia

I agree and am quite baffled we didn’t get much about Joe Alwyn. I have no idea how Matty relationship ended up being such a powerful muse for her more than her 6 year relationship. Also Matty was the one she’s more upset she didn’t marry? That’s so confusing. And what songs on midnight actually allude to her dealing with the aftermath of a breakup? It’s all so bizzare

V

What if Florida!!! Is the narrator of no body no crime escaping. Your cheating husband disappeared well no one asks any questions here etc. and your town being the place you get arrested. And they allude to the hometown being in Texas, and no body no crime is a country song. Plus both songs were inspired by true crime docs

Clara

Matty used to refer to himself as Peter Pan a lot in the past like in 2014-2016. Also “lost boys” refers to one of his songs from his old band drive like i do

Nicole Edwards

The “you think he gave up” and then the pause and look - haha I went from crying with you to laughing so hard 😂🙈

Sultan

chester screaming bloody murder while you're about to throw yourself off a bridge😭😭😭😭

Ari

Loved this! Thank you for putting in the WORK! I know it was a lot.

Lizzy

That was the hardest I think I've laughed all year

Olivia Donovan

HAHAHAH it’s not for me it’s for Robin. I am DEAD that song has everyone so perplexed

Makayla Raines

"Who knows how to ball? Not him"💀😂

Swiftologist

Well they didn't call midnights 3am TS11 so who cares

Megan

Every time Chester howls I lose it

Monika

I have not been able to stop laughing for 10 minutes because you are going through a mental breakdown and all I am hearing is meeeeeooooow!

Lain Pierce

THIS IS NOT THE ALBUM I WANTED! but it may be the album i needed *cries in DV recovery*

Monika

Madeline doing it with a broken heart...I need a deep dissection by you on chloe or sam etc

dancingaroundit

Madeline I felt your reaction to Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus because girl SAME

Pat

Not you initially thinking Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus would flop and promptly losing your mind once you heard it 🤍 love this for you

Pat

Madeline: *holds up van gogh* do you think he gave up? Van gogh: Madeline:

Little Kevin

Some of us are not Peter Pan girlies and that’s okay!!

Lia Russo

I loveeeee this so much. Your raw reactions are just too good, made me laugh and cry! Also, you look so pretty, I love all the pink 💗

Kayla Bennett

excited for a lyrical deep dive of chloe or sam or sophia or marcus

AmyJN

I had the same thought! It’s a song that gets better if not taken too seriously 🙂

Roxy

Madeline: I can tell it's a flop from miles awa- 30 seconds later: MY TEARS ARE RIVULETS

jaana

i love the idea of the standard edition being her writing about these tortured poets as muses, and the anthology being /her/ as a tortured poet and what comes from that creatively, or what these situations have helped her learn about herself! just thought that was a really astute observation and first reading of how these two albums interact with each other, especially since the second half feels more slow paced, introspective and even more metaphorical at times. in general, loved your reactions!!! its always interesting to hear your thoughts and the crying is just too real. me as hell

Stav

I agree! To me, the anthology is about her and it's my favorite part of the album. I love it so much. I've taken all weekend to process the album; listening to each song once or twice, and at my own pace. It was a very saturated album, but, I get it. I finally get the purpose of this album, I get the point, I get the vision, I get the new era, I get that this was the ultimate fuck you and moving on set up to all her pretentious art boy exes, I get that this was cycle breaking BY fully musing her own mess aka she's the ultimate muse. I get why this was her favorite album to make now - it was tay-volutionary.

Gabrielle Halley

how did it end? to so highschool is such a wild transition

Tia

I’ve seen a lot of people say this album has be re altering their brains and my god I get them. I have random ass lyrics playing in my head and ruminating newfound meanings that didn’t register in the first listen. I think this album is one of those that will age gloriously. I mean this happens with all her albums but this one defo will appeal to the ones who disliked first try over time.

Tia

“The greatest of luxuries is your secrets” from dear reader is starting to make sense now

Rachel

I think getting with Matty helped delay the loss of leaving Joe so when both ended she felt all the pain

Catherine Coleman

Just say I loved you, the way that you were 😭😭 *MEOOWWW*

Linde Deckers

Just sitting here crying my eyes out to Madeline’s reaction to Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus because that was me 100% when I first listened to it. What a devastating, achingly but quietly beautiful song… I just can’t move on from it

gabs

I completely loved both of your reactions to TTPD! You hiding the camera it’s CINEMA to me and I find it very interesting and amusing watching you get emotionally touched by Taylor’s art, just as Chester does. I can’t wait to hear all the song interpretations you have in store for us 🫶🏻 PS: the eye makeup and the winged eyeliner were SLAYING. The TikTok tutorials paid off 💅🏻💓

Cathy Stephens

I’ve decided that Peter is an allegory for HS. Yes, I’m a delusional girl.

Autumn

Me crying with you 😢🤝🏻

Laine Wagner

I have been a lady in wait waiting for this review!!! please don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a comment on the length of time it took you to post, i’m incredibly impressed by the short period of time you and zack have taken to record! the first time i heard the album I shouted to the heavens “I didn’t know i was signing up for folklorian Hamilton!!!” the album is incredibly lyrically dense. BUT i was excited because i had this weird sense you would LOVE the second half. it’s so evermore!

Laine Wagner

also my significant other keeps singing “fuck it if i can’t play sims” during guilty as sin and i felt as though you would enjoy that lmaooooo

Lyndsey

Madeline, your reaction to this album makes me feel less insane for my reaction on my first listen! Girl, feel those feelings!!

Ann thea

Is it weird that I had this thought that imagine if Van gogh knew that his plush doll would be a part of something like this in the future. Lol i love the emotional support Van gogh plush

Jessie

Van Gogh says you may want to find another guiding light 😂❤️. He is a most excellent tortured poet companion, though. Like Virgil through Dante’s hell. But—what I really came here to say is, thank you 🫶. I appreciated your reactions to both parts of this album so incredibly much!! It helps me feel seen, lol! I’ve been avoiding a lot of the immediate noise around this release, because it seems like much of TTPD is going over people’s heads. Not everyone out there has the attention span for pinnacle quill pen songs. Her writing is phenomenal across the scope of this, and it’s going to take real time to process and understand it. Thank you so much for your honesty, and your insights!!

V

Been listening to the 1975 for the first time in my life much to my regret. Yeah… yeah there’s like a thousand direct lyrical parallels to TTPD. Unbelievable. Now I’m certain cardigan and other songs are about Matty

V

I’ll gladly play along with but daddy I love him and play a Lana-esque Tulsa Jesus freak standing in a white tunic in a golden wheat field lighting candles praying to the good lord for our local girl Taylor hoping she 🕯️ never 🕯️ comes 🕯️into 🕯️contact 🕯️with 🕯️another 🕯️Matthew 🕯️ Healy 🕯️ step it up Travis!🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️I’ll be the villain of this story absolutely

S.

I’m so distracted by how perfect your pink eyeshadow look is!!!! An absolute slay

Chloe

Ngl the anthology slapped for me harder than the standard 🥴 lyrically the standard was awesome but all that dessner production in anthology with the deep sadness in her words combined made 🤌🏻✨

Nycki Heisler

Yes! Also, you know she had never heard of a time share and then someone told her about theirs and she became obsessed with the concept.

Mad Esme at the Plaza Athénée

I just love how Madeline (if she's not weeping in devastation) is just bopping head empty, then declares "I've got it!" but never actually shares what she got, cuz she's moooving on! "Who knows how to ball? Not him!" All the Travis references in SHS just went flying over her head. Chaotic hilarity as always, we love you Lizard!

Susannah Wallace

Guys help! I’m trying to think of the episode where Zack and Madeline talk about other swiftie YouTubers! Does anyone know what it’s called?

Kalyn

I also decided this is the case

Alexa Blackman

TTPD ERAS TOUR OUTFITS ANYONE??? Going in Paris!!

Kalyn

Maybe she's using Peter Pan as a metaphor for Joe or Matty. 🤨

Diana

I live for Madeline’s reactions

Luke Alexander

Progression of not wanting to listen to Chloe Sam or Sophia or Marcus and then you pull your eyes to it was quite something to witness

Ally ❤️

I fucking love Madeline. She’s a real one. This reaction is so amazing. Van GOUGHHHHHHH!!!

Ally ❤️

Madeline. We ALL look in people’s windows… we just try to look away before anyone notices.

Maria Juko

when you look at the camera....straight into my soul! but also comedic genius in other moments!

Maria

I live the Chester cameos so much

Sarah Hollars

Well, cried like a baby watching you go through all of the emotions of this album. Felt like I was right there with you. Love this video, it’s like getting to listen to the album with a very intelligent/clever friend who only adds to the experience. Thanks for making these videos.

Erin S

Chester is a Swiftie... has to sing along. "Narcotics in all my songs"? Or is it catnip?

Erin S

Probably both. She kind of suggests that both are little boys who don't want to grow up and be a man who can handle being with her and make a commitment.

Erin S

I've never listened to the 1975, but once I've listened to TTPD until my ears bleed, I plan to give them a listen.

Erin S

This is a winning reply. 😹

Erin S

On repeat listenings, I think there is more Joe here than initially seems. There are several songs where I feel like she's singing to both of them at the same time.

Tom

Your reactions are unmatched. Soooo funny and charismatic

Isabel Hansen

Not only are u n Zach Taylor swift historians but you both are so goddamn funny and entertaining. I could listen to you talk abt anything madeline, you’re so witty and charismatic.

speedyceviche

This album is so so special, its been fun sharing our first impressions with you guys

h

"Did she just learn the word 'precocious'"? 😂😂😂 I loved this reaction so much as always. You're a real one Madeline ❤️ I also cried my eyes out to Chloe or Sam

Deanna Hall

the pivot from what you thought sophia or sam was going to be to the regret of "why did I click play??" while bawling was actually iconic <3 also I feel like chester could be an esa because he started yelling anytime that you were upset. sweet kitty

Lexi

Madeline you seem to be the only other girly who understands that HIS HOLOGRAM STUMBLED INTO HER APARTMENT !!

Jessa Jayne

I thought the same about sweet kitty boy mom stop this mom you’re controlling the music mom

Natalie Navarro

Holding the booklet for the lyrics is an OG swiftie thing ifykyk

Michelle

Joe got both track 5’s in my opinion. I agree she said everything she needed to about him on midnights!

Michelle

Peter to me is Matty 💔

Jessica

Aw Madeline, the song CSSM broke me too! Such a beautiful song

Jon Weber

These two reaction videos are the first videos I have seen by you. I enjoyed them very much. I have seen you and Zach in videos on the main channel but I had never seen one of your videos. I was touched by your honest reactions and sharing to the songs. Thank you for that. I think Taylor's Swift's writing has never been better when it comes to her lyrics. I think she's even better on the TTPD double album than Folkore! I am so thrilled by TTPD! I love these albums! My two favorite tracks on TTPD are But Daddy I love Him and Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? By the way you have a beautiful cat :) Black cats are so beautiful and the superstitions about them are so ridiculous!

Kerri S

Going through 3 eras with Virgil, Dante, and Van Gogh. Appropriate!

Kerri S

Makes sense

Kerri S

Well. Van Gogh is a most excellent companion and not an era.

Starbuck1234!

Loooooove your reaction. It’s so interesting that I interpreted the manuscript to be something completely different. I don’t believe that it’s about her looking back at her short film. I think it’s a metaphor. It starts with John Mayer trying to pick her up, then Jake then she dated boys her own age, but they were immature, and then now. The professor said to write what you know, and so she has her entire career written about her life. The score is her life. The actors are not Dylan O’Brien and Sadie sink. The actors are her reliving all these experiences in her mind then the entire theme of the album is everything in Her mind. She’s reliving everything in her mind every relationship every emotion, and the actors are meeting their marks every time because it’s the same. The professor, interestingly is Stevie Nicks. In the introductory poem, doesn’t Stevie Nicks say this exact thing write what you know? Something to that affect. And then the end of all of this her entire catalog makes up the manuscript and every now and then she goes through it in her mind trying to make sense of her life. It’s a wonderful Way to end the album.

lottie

“Van Gogh, look away…” 😂

Ally ❤️

I love Chester doing the wellness check during COSOSOM. Good boy 🐈

Missy_P

Does anyone else come back to this video at least once a month just to watch the COSOSOM reaction, or am I just a crazy person?? Haha

Joe

I do - but I am also a crazy person

Missy_P

Hah! It's nice knowing I'm not alone at least :)

Jack

Doing that deathly scroll to get down here is worth it every time😂

Beau Maddox

Literally yes because it’s clickinnnnggg for me

rit

getting my eardrums blown out at "VAN GOGHHHH" is so worth it

Abby

Precisely what I’m doing right now lol

Ally ❤️

Yesssss!!! When I heard Matty was releasing his little ditty “God Has Entered My Body” allegedly about Taylor, all I could think of was Madeline saying, “I’ve had ENOUGH of this FUCKING GUY!!!!!” Many, many such cases Queen. We all have had quite enough of that fucking guy! 😒

Ally ❤️

Okay…. That makes ABSOLUTE sense!

Ally ❤️

Exactly!!! What do you want us to do with that information???

Ally ❤️

Your name is in the song Birch featuring Taylor with the National & Justin Vernon’s project Big Red Machine.

Grayson

Seeing the initial reaction to the title compared to the actual song of Chloe or Sam was quite enjoyable

jessie🐍

Literally what I’m doing rn

Saanal

Literally an insane asylum here babe, we need to unionize.

Saanal

"Do you think he gave up" while holding up a doll of Van Gogh had me DEAD. How did I not catch that before lmaoo.

Anna/MC

“It’s fucking Peter fucking Pan” !!!!!!!!!!!

Ally ❤️

When I need a pick me up, this is my go to. Thank you, Madeline.

Ana Del

2025 and yet I am here

Emjabar

Unfortunately the Chloe or Sam crash out has me absolutely dying laughing, I totally get it

Sarah

omggg hi! me too!

Ally ❤️

I’m calling for the first vote!!!

Lia Russo

Coming back to this just to feel something

Nicola

Stop making me cry Madeline!

Ally ❤️

Also the engagement surprise video! Peak Madeline!!!

Stroop(wafel)

Help, I'm still at this restaurant

Chas

Watching the Chloe Sam et al reaction compared to Madeline’s TLOAS reaction is making me feel a lot of things.

Lauren

I’m a new Patreon member so I had to come see the Chloe or Sam crash out that has been referenced in other episodes and it did not disappoint! 😂 also when you said “touch me while your bros play grand theft auto…in the same room?” absolutely sent me lmao

Chas

Welcome!

Nora Lvovsky

Attn: Library of Congress– this is an American artifact of cultural and historical significance. "VAN GOGHHH!" Chester's background vocals. Madeline's sincerity and brilliance. AHH! I re-joined just to watch this again.

Runa

Picking up Van Gogh and saying "Do you think HE gave up?" then realizing right away was Diabolical and I can't stop laughing. I'm so blessed I get to witness that. Thanks Madeline <3

Sarah Risley

"Please, Thank You Aimee with KIM in it, be ridiculous, because I need a chuckle" so glad you got exactly what you needed Madeline 😄

divatron

madeline it has been three days since i've joined the patreon and i have watched this twice. THANK YOU for your humanity!!

joe_ll_ig

Madeline im still here

divatron

11:22 is the sweet spot ;)

divatron

A legend was born

Christina Ingham

Honestly…I fell so hard for Madeline at this moment. What an absolute legend

Sulacycle

I never watched this at the time. Madeline! You made me cry and you're a genius.

Sarah

showgirl could never

TayLiviaAddisonAudreyNatalie

You reading COSOSOM lyrics sobbing while Chester is meowing in the background is KILLING me 😭😭😭

Ro2207

Just here making my monthly pilgrimage to the holy site of the COSOSOM reaction 🧎‍♀️

Theerathawach Kammong

I come back to this video every month or so just for the Chloe et al reaction because you are so correct the song is psychotic

JD IHateItHere

Everything about this should be in the Smithsonian. The Louvre. I’m back for a fifth watch after your ranking of TTPD in March 2026 because the COSOSOM moment is a fault line in the Tayverse that should be an annual pilgrimage.

Katie Williams

I know you’ve had enough of this fucking guy, but I will never get enough of this video.

Roxyy

Happy two years to the funniest video ever

Rapswift

“i would give anything to press play againnnnnn” “ why did i presss playyyyy , whyyyyy” oh my madeline 🥹❤️❤️❤️ Chloe or sam or sofia or marcus and i just watched it happen 🫂

jessie🐍

i come back to this way too often...

Aaron

The hate it here reaction is so valid

Xhayton

Coming back to this for the original Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus reaction. VAN GOGHHHHHH

Jill

Thank god we have this reaction to chloe or sam

adam martin

Still thinking about Madelines reaction to COSOSOM

Debapack

Me too! My brain is getting fried over how she had the lyrics. They didn't come out until that fall... I think I am losing my mind.

Ro2207

Here on my monthly COSOSOM pilgrimage 🧎‍♀️

MK

Madeline already with tears in her eyes as the video opens- same girl!

M-RIDD

Back for my much needed dose of this BEAUTIFUL reaction video. 😍

Joey

I can’t believe I never saw this

Joey
