Here’s To Hoping I Don’t Text My Ex After Listening to Midnights
WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:12.439 Hi, you're listening to My Reality Says podcast, brought to you by My 2 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:17.960 Therapist Says. We're here to discuss everything pop culture, influencers, blind gossip, 3 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:27.760 and of course reality TV. We put the T in reality. Hey, 4 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:33.159 besties. This week we are going to be reviewing Taylor Swift's Midnight's album. 5 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.960 We are big Swifties. We are so excited to get into it. 6 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.960 I mean, this album wasn't exactly what we thought it was gonna be. 7 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.000 What did you think? Gee? I mean, it's definitely not what I 8 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.880 was hoping for. But the more I listened to it, like the more 9 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.520 my opinion changes. It's really weird. Like it's I hated it the first 10 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.240 time I listened to it, and then like every time I listened to it. 11 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.120 Now I getting more into it and I'm getting more new favorites and like 12 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.519 I understand like the lyrical geniusness that is our girl, Taylor Swift. So 13 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:14.200 it's definitely um an evolving body of work, I think. Like I wasn't 14 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.719 like immediately, oh my god, I love this best album ever. I 15 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.480 agree. I was expecting more versatility throughout the album, Like when I first 16 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.439 listened to it, all the songs were kind of meshing together, and I 17 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.879 wanted something more poppy and like upbeat from Taylor because I was like thinking, 18 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.799 oh, it's Midnight's it's like night Out album, you know, but it's 19 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.519 more like Lonely Girl Midnight album. Yeah, exactly. Like, first of 20 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.799 all, it didn't sound as cohesive as her other albums. It just like 21 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.840 listens to us like a collection of like rejected songs from every other album basically, 22 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.920 right, It's like every song sounds like it belongs on a different Taylor 23 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.920 Swift album, which is kind of thing. There's lots of references to all 24 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.920 the other albums, all of her men of course, um it was not. 25 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.319 Yeah, it's nice to see like different references, but I wish this 26 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.439 album had its own identity in that sense. Yes, Um, I do 27 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.719 love the whole story behind the album. I guess like when you look into 28 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.120 a deeper and you like listen to her like explaining things, you understand why 29 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.120 it's the way it is. It kind of looks like reads like a you 30 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.639 know, like as an adult, you go back home and you find your 31 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.919 like middle school diary and you're like, oh my god, like what I 32 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.000 was going through Like in the retrospective, like it's interesting. So it's basically 33 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.560 like her doing that with all her other albums and relationships. And it was 34 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.159 nice to see like a more vulnerable side of Taylor, Like she really talks 35 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.280 a lot about her insecurities, UM, a lot of like hardships that she's 36 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.680 going through. Um, it's not just like a happy, go lucky album 37 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.360 that like some of the other ones that we've seen in the past. I 38 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.319 feel like Lover was more like super happy. Reputation was like an angry Elba. 39 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:15.479 I had a theme, are more vulnerable and more of an insecure I'm 40 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.800 more honest, I would say, exactly, Like she's giving us a glimpse 41 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.800 into a part of her that she usually kind of hides behind walls. Right, 42 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.919 She's like not trying to be cool, She's not trying to be anything. 43 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.800 She's like, this is who I am. I'm comfortable, I have 44 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.439 issues, I have insecurities, Like let's share them. Yeah. I love 45 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.479 that side of Taylor because we didn't really see that before. I agree, 46 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.840 it's like definitely like a more grown up but like really really really grown up, 47 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:50.680 darker not yeah, which I was hoping for the fun and poppy, 48 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.000 but I can see that that's not where she is in her journey. I 49 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.960 wanted like the big production like songs that I could go out too and everything 50 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.719 and get ready to But this album seems more like that album you have kind 51 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:14.960 of in the background while you're like doing work or like like cooking. Yeah, 52 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.399 you don't really need to focus on it so much, but it's just 53 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.519 like nice in the background. And it's kind of annoying to me though that 54 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.439 there isn't just like one big hit, Like I don't think there's one song 55 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.439 that stands out compared to all of the others. So I wish there was 56 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.439 like the big single you know that's going to be on every radio station. 57 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:42.519 I guess it's supposed to be um anti hero but and like that's the like 58 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.839 leading video, right, But um, I didn't. It didn't give me 59 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.319 that vibe at all when I listened to it before the video. Now the 60 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.240 more I listened to it, the more I'm like, oh my god, 61 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.720 it's so catchy. I can see how that's like, you know, radio 62 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.040 friendly, but I didn't think that's so good. I love the video, 63 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.040 loved it, loved it. She's such a it's like video director and in 64 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.920 it. I was obsessed. I can't wait to Taylor always delivers with the 65 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:16.319 Easter eggs. Honestly, I love exploring her albums and videos because it feels 66 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.399 like kind of like a mental exercise. It's not just like here it is 67 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.319 listen. I love that she makes us work for it and analyzing every single 68 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:32.160 lyric, which boys this about who is angry at everything? I know I 69 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.839 remember more about her relationships and excess than my own. Honestly, Yeah, 70 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.199 I could basically write Taylor Soss biography now exactly. I mean, people will 71 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.959 be able to tell by the way we like, analyze and broke down this 72 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.519 album. I'm excited to get into it. I think we should do like 73 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:57.480 song by song in order and obviously include like the three Am version. Yeah, 74 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:03.120 I love the three Am version. I actually more regular album. Yeah, 75 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.720 it was such a fun surprise. Okay, I guess I'm not going 76 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.480 to sleep now. I gotta stay up another couple of hours and listen to 77 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.040 the three Am Virgin Taylor. I didn't I fill asleep after the midnight that 78 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.000 was like we're done whatever, I'm sad, disappointed, and then like I 79 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:24.600 woke up to this pleasant surprise. I'm like what new songs, and I 80 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.879 loved them. I was in like full insomnia mode just listening to Taylor all 81 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.040 night. Okay, you start us off, because I think you like the 82 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.120 first song more than me, so you can go. I initially didn't like 83 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.560 it, but it's really growing on me. I think it's really catchy, 84 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.759 whimsical. It's just like a nice, pleasant song. I think, and 85 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.160 that that song is Lavender Hayes. We're going to start from the beginning of 86 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:59.000 the album and go all the way down. Gina doesn't love it. I 87 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.759 actually wrote in my notes, I'm reading right now not as catchy as usual 88 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:08.839 Taylor songs like so catchy. I feel like I'm hearing a different song from 89 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.079 everyone else because this song is taking over, like you know, social media, 90 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.279 and everyone's obsessed with it. It's like a gen Z fave, honestly, 91 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.519 and I don't I mean honestly, I don't get most viral songs, 92 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:27.199 so I'm just old. I just think, yeah, it's just like a 93 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.680 song that I love like I at first, I didn't like it, but 94 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.959 after a few plays, it was like right on my playlists. I love 95 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:40.000 it. I thought at first that this was a song about getting high because 96 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.759 lavender hate sounds like a strain of cannabis to me, and like, I 97 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.079 don't really smoke, but like it just sounds like it. But then I 98 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.759 looked into it and it's like a reference to like Madman, So I was 99 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:55.720 like, whoa, Yeah, it's about like Joe also too, I think, 100 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.439 and apparently like a lot of the like l g e t Q followers 101 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:07.240 of Taylor thought that it was about like Taylor and her sexuality because apparently there's 102 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:15.519 some lavenders like the color for lgbt Q relently or something. Yeah, well, 103 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.079 I don't know enough about it, but I have seen some of these 104 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:24.959 like tweets, and I've seen some disappointment from her friends. Yeah, I've 105 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:30.639 heard of it being referred to as like a gay anthem. So yeah, 106 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.639 what's a favorite lyric? Favorite lyric? Okay, so let me see in 107 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.240 my notes here, Um, I have the nine fifties. Ship they want 108 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.399 from me is if I'm going to be your bride. The only kind of 109 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.759 girl they see is a one night or a wife. Genius. I think 110 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.879 this lyric like really goes into the fact that everybody's kind of like pressuring her, 111 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.679 like asking her always like are you and Joe married. Are you married? 112 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.440 Are you married? And she's like, let me live, like I'm 113 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.639 I'm not a one night girl, but I'm not a wife yet, just 114 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.879 like there's more to life exactly, like it doesn't have to be this exact 115 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.600 timeline, like let me just be see. I love the lyrics, like 116 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.559 I think that's like genius of her songwriting, but I just can't get with 117 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.840 the melody and like the production of it. So we disagree on this one. 118 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.559 I agree to disagree exactly. From the first listen, my favorite was 119 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.600 Maroon because as you know, my favorite album is Read, which most people 120 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.399 say, but that's my second favorite. Red is my like O G favorite. 121 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.960 Really, I didn't know that it's like the best album I think all 122 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.279 time a time. I think it's for everybody, though I don't know. 123 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.639 I feel like it's only getting like the hype now after the all to Well 124 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.639 ten minutes version. But I was like the O G All to Well fan 125 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.879 like before the ten minute version, which I mean the ten minute version broke 126 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.360 me and I cried with time I listened to it. It's just amazing, 127 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.120 But Haroon, did it not give you strong red vibes? Okay? So 128 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.919 I'm actually gonna disagree with you again on this one. I was a little 129 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:24.879 disappointed. I thought like I didn't have like strong feelings toward it. I 130 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.600 feel like it was just like the like I feel like she should have gone 131 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.840 further into like the color symbolism and stuff. I wasn't really into the lyrics. 132 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.240 The song was just like for me, the lyrics are definitely like not 133 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.039 as like like in some other songs we'll discuss, Like every lyric was like 134 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.000 oh my god, yes, yes, yes for here, Like I had 135 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.320 to think about it. That was like Maroon, like a few lyrics are 136 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.679 like really clever and like then I had to think about the symbolism and like 137 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.600 you know, the fan theories the Easter eggs, and everyone is like it's 138 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.759 either about you know, Harry Styles or Jillen Hall or even Tom Hittleston, 139 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.960 which like, who do you think it's about? Um? I think it's 140 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.440 probably about Jake just because it's like a red reference, but I mean it 141 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.200 could be Harry too. It's almost like she's it's almost like she's confusing us 142 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.720 on purpose because it's like the perfect like mix of like Harry and Jake. 143 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.559 Like I don't really see Tom honestly, but like to me, it's like 144 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.919 yes, Jake, because obviously, like it sounds like red, and then 145 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.840 the color thing, you know, she goes from like loving you was red, 146 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.879 and then like whatever the song is like the crimson the after red effect, 147 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.120 like it's all sad whatever. But then like also the hairy part because 148 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.799 like you know, they were in a long distance relationship, and there's a 149 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.759 beautiful line the rust that grew between telephones the lipsite used to call home. 150 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.039 So like, clearly that's about a long distance relationship, right, And I 151 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.120 do you think that Harry kind of inspired her best songs for some reason? 152 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.120 That makes sense. I didn't even think about the long distance thing in that 153 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.360 line, did you see On like Reddit and Twitter they were like saying, 154 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.399 how like this could be also a nod to like a one direction song called 155 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.399 Olivia, which funny they have a song named Olivia. Like that's a whole 156 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:20.720 other thing. Oh my god, that together, Wow, it's like manifesting. 157 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.120 I don't know what it is. Maybe she made a reference to that 158 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:30.639 specifically because he's with her right now, it's true. And then like you 159 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.919 know, like she's talking about like the stain of red wine on a shirt 160 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.240 like the whole thing, and like I have seen references to that like really 161 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.200 making me feel like it is about Harry, but I feel like it's kind 162 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.360 of the mix of the two and she's just kind of working with us. 163 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.960 Yeah, I mean, who's to say that it has to be only about 164 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:52.120 one guy, right, I mean there are a few to pick from, 165 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.200 and like, if the reference fits, there is a roster exactly. I 166 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.759 respect that. I love that. Um my favorite lyrics and I know you 167 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.480 don't like the song, but my favorite lyric is and I wake with your 168 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.799 memory over me. That's a real fucking legacy. And I think the carnations 169 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.519 you had thought were roses. That's us. Like, that's so clever. 170 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.559 It's like when someone thinks, like, you know, a relationship is so 171 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.879 great, but then it's like a pile of sh it shading carnations. But 172 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.600 I get it. I Okay, maybe this song might grow on me. 173 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.799 Now that you pointed out some good lyrics. I will say that this was 174 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.080 my favorite and at first listen, but now after like the third fifth list 175 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.879 lesson Like literally I'm like I've been listening to it for the past two days. 176 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.200 I have more favorite songs like this is not my top top We'll get 177 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.559 to my favorite song later when it comes. What did you think about Anti 178 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.480 Hero? I'm obsessed with the video, and I think I like the song 179 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:01.279 more after watching the video. Yeah, like she directed it right, Yeah 180 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.440 it was. It was amazing. Um. I loved seeing like all of 181 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.000 her insecurities and her just being vulnerable and open um. There were so many 182 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.639 easter eggs in the video. There was you know what, I think that 183 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.879 speak Now Taylor version is coming soon because she was using her guitar with the 184 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.159 the from speak Now in the videos, So I feel like that's a hint 185 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.399 that that's coming soon, and I'm so excited because I love that album. 186 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.120 Also, honestly, there isn't an album I don't love besides Evermore that I 187 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.840 thought was terrible. There's not a single song I like on it. Yeah. 188 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.200 Same, And I'm not really that into folklore either. Um so, 189 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:48.279 I like an old T Swift fan is like those are my faves, but 190 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.399 I also like reputation like the COVID Taylor is not your jam. Yeah no, 191 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.799 no, no no, I I mean I prefer folklore too, Evermore 192 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.440 because like I think there's a couple of songs on it. The song with 193 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:05.200 Bonave I loved and Betty I loved because like it's like a story, it's 194 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.559 like old school Taylor. But I wish she would like stop with like this 195 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.759 indie folk music and just get back to poper country, like you know. 196 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.080 No, my favorite albums are the ones where it's like versatile, you know, 197 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.039 where she has like some folk songs, some country songs, some pop 198 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:26.600 songs like one like DMM almost going Out a song like I want a little 199 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.919 bit of everything, and because I know she can deliver so many, so 200 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:37.279 just give it to us all. Like I just imagine it's an E. 201 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.840 D M. Taylor album and I just like got chills. Oh my god. 202 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.039 So that's what I thought this was gonna be. I thought she was 203 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.519 gonna like pill a Drake and be once and do like a fun going out 204 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.360 album, because like that's what everybody's been doing this year. But she's always 205 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:58.799 surprising us. So Anti Hero was actually, um, I was like okay 206 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.039 on it when I first listen to it, but now it's like the one 207 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.399 that's stuck in my head and I keep wanting to listen to it over and 208 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.480 over again, like It's probably the only one I would add to my playlist. 209 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:14.559 It's very poppy, very catchy, very a very good melody, but 210 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.039 also like kind of sad like lyrically because it just feels like, you know, 211 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.879 you know that part where it's like, oh, my daughter in lop 212 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.159 like killed me or whatever, and like it just like in the whole video 213 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.120 about like her children fighting over the whill and her tricking them, like it 214 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.759 all sounds kind of sad like in like a fun pop way, like, 215 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.080 oh, I don't trust anyone. Everyone just takes advantage of me. It 216 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.279 comes from like a really dark like place of betrayal, I think. And 217 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.240 then there was like, you know, I think she touched a little bit 218 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.240 on her eating disorder in the in the video, and um, she kind 219 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.519 of had like the darker tailor like behind her, like sneaking up on her 220 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.480 in the mirror. Um, so you can see how like she's showing how 221 00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:00.279 a lot of her insecurities are eating at her no matter how hard. The 222 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.799 dark tailor is my favorite way to style Taylor. I think she looked gorgeous, 223 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.480 Like I'm obsessed with that look, the eyeliner, the hair, Like 224 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.400 I love that look on her like reminds me of the Blink Space Tailor. 225 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.079 Yeah, and like the Red Tailor with like the bangs and stuff like it's 226 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.400 like a mix of the two. Like, I love it. She looked 227 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.240 amazing. Can I just say, I'm so excited to meme that Like Taylor 228 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.079 in the mirror with like the dark Tailor behind her, that is just like 229 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:37.880 Meme Gold right there. It's the new Curbit Frog exactly. I'm so excited 230 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.440 for that. But um no, I think it's super super fun. It's 231 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.640 campy, it's like so catchy. And the lyrics, like every lyric, 232 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.839 I think I have to say my favorite lyric because this one is so good. 233 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.000 Um. I have this thing where I get older but never wiser when 234 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.319 my depression works the graveyard shift. All of the people I've ghosted stand there 235 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.920 in the room. One day, I'll watch as you're leaving because you got 236 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:08.839 tired of my scheming so deep right, Like I like it's like, by 237 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.160 the way, those lyrics are not even like in a row, like it's 238 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.559 like throughout the whole song. Like That's what I'm saying. Every lyric is 239 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.400 amazing because at all like a masterpiece, like so smart. How'd even come 240 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:25.359 up with stuff like that, like the whole song everything not to mention that 241 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:33.599 kiss. Now every person's like new Instagram caption is Hi, Hi, it's 242 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.480 me, I'm the problem. It's me. Like it's so perfect. She's 243 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:44.680 a new drake with the captions. You can just put that in any situation. 244 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.079 She's like the new meme queen. I have to say, though, 245 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.559 like I don't get the sexy baby lyrics, Like, okay, So I 246 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.720 think that one was about her because like if you see the video, she's 247 00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.480 like a giant coming into this room and everybody is like small. I think 248 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:06.440 that was like her insecurity about being super tall compared to everybody. So everybody's 249 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:11.119 like sexy babies, like little and small, and she's like yeah, and 250 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:18.240 she's the like tall giants and her insecurity. So that's what I thought that 251 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.240 was about. But it's a weird like line to be calling babies sexy, 252 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.559 like it's like I get it, but it's like hi, baby, Like 253 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.400 it's like you know, like maybe playing off on that like culture, that 254 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:37.279 aesthetic of like like a baby girl, but fantilizing women as like sexy like, 255 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.839 which is kind of weird, but you know, it's true. Yeah, 256 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.759 but I just thought the lyric was so weird and like jarring because like 257 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.440 it's so like not Taylor. So I was like, whoa did she just 258 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:52.319 say that? Ye? So a lot of people online like hate it for 259 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.279 that because it's so random, and a lot of people love it because it's 260 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.920 a random Yeah. I mean I liked it better like once I saw it 261 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.799 in the music video and saw the context of it. Definitely. But either 262 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:10.440 way, everyone's talking about it. Taylor is going to get everybody talking, 263 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.920 that's for sure. Everyone was talking and waiting for the Launa del Ray collab, 264 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.039 which literally, my god, so disappointed. I was waiting the whole 265 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:25.640 song being like Lana, where are you where? She's like somewhere in the 266 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.400 back, like whispering, like did she even make it to the studio? 267 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.559 She outside recording? Like what's happening here? I don't get the point of 268 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:38.400 the song. I don't understand why a Christmas Vibe song is on this album. 269 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.759 It just like gave me nothing, Like you can do so much with 270 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.400 a collab with Laana, but like she gave us nothing. I was really 271 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.920 disappointed. It was nothing in a song exactly Like I was just like okay, 272 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.480 like it sounds so Christmas and snowy. It's like a Hallmark movie of 273 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.960 Christmas movies, you know, and this is like the Hallmark like version of 274 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.640 that in a song, Like it's not really a holiday song, but it's 275 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.519 kind of trying to be. Yeah, not into it. I really I 276 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.240 wish like Lana had her own like verse and everything instead of being like a 277 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:18.880 backup singer and didn't. And the imagery and everything of this song just like 278 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.039 didn't make sense to me. So not about I mean, I know that 279 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.440 like everyone's talking about, like the one lyric that once again alludes to like 280 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.720 an eating disorder, like that I hosted parties and stuff my body like I'd 281 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.839 be staved by a perfect hiss, which is a beautiful, beautiful lyric obviously 282 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.920 talking about like wanting to be saved by perfect man being good enough finally, 283 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.599 But like, um, other than that, the song gave us nothing. 284 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:51.880 I mean, I did give us that one Janet Jackson lyric, the all 285 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:57.480 for You I'm all for you, like Janet I love that was that this 286 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.440 Oh my god, I'm wrong, sorry, that was the line I'm talking 287 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.240 about. The different song. The hosted Parties one was you're on your own 288 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:12.279 kid that I'm reading my notes and I totally miss I'm like, it doesn't 289 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:17.960 sound right. No, it was a Janet Jackson lyric and that's really all 290 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.519 it gave us, which that is my favorite Janet song. It came out. 291 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.039 I remember it like yesterday, I'm telling her my song. I love 292 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.960 that, Taylor, can you know throw those references out at other artists so 293 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:36.880 seamlessly amazing? I love her even though she did not honor Lana del Rey 294 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.720 in the way she deserves. She honored Janet but not Lana. I'm why 295 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.319 I don't get it. So so I jumped ahead, but you're on your 296 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:51.839 own kids. Loved I liked it. It wasn't my favorite, but I 297 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.799 like it, like it was cute, Like it was like, you know, 298 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:59.160 like so easy to listen to and like like melodically like she sounded vocally 299 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.359 amazing. It was just kind of like, oh, like it's like a 300 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.799 very pleasant song, is what it is? Right? Yeah? No, 301 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.119 I did really love her vocals in it. So what was your favorite lyric? 302 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.599 So this was the hosted parties and stuff my body like they saved it 303 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.400 by the perfect kiss song. So this was like basically about her eating disorder. 304 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.000 And I think also, like, you know, remember that good old 305 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.440 time when she was like the ringleader of the girl squad, like the supermodel 306 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.640 girl squads. So I think that like is a throwback to those times when 307 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.640 she was seen as like the gorgeous, like beautiful woman surrounded by other beautiful 308 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.599 women just like having the most carefree, beautiful life. Everyone wanted to be 309 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.920 them, you know, I did. That was like when she was considered 310 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.000 like taking over the world, almost Taylor, you know, and then she 311 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.359 exactly her whole breakdown everything, the whole cornie and stuff. So that was 312 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.400 like peak. This was when she was like on the very top before she 313 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.519 was taken down right. Yeah, So I and like, but she's singing 314 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.559 basically about like how fun that time was, but the whole time she was 315 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:08.839 waiting to be saved by a man, so like relatable, Yeah, be 316 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.759 relatable. Um. So, my favorite song is coming up or one of 317 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.519 my favorite songs, and Gina hates it, but I actually love like she 318 00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:26.480 brings us a lot of this like robotic um like auto tune floracing that I 319 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.400 am loving. I love it so much just because this album sounded so similar 320 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.279 throughout that. I like that this kind of like broke it up, give 321 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.640 us something a little bit different. Uh. The song was just like a 322 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.599 hit for me. Okay, well you're saying brought something different. Broken up, 323 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.000 I would say was jarring as hell. If you're like, who is 324 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.319 this monster speaking? Like I thought something was wrong with my like my Spotify. 325 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:52.960 I was like, oh my god, Like it's not like there's noise 326 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.519 in it, Like what's weird? It didn't sounds broken. Yeah, I 327 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.119 loved it. I saw what she was doing and I loved it. It's 328 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.319 so catchy, like I I want to like listen to that, just that 329 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:11.000 like beginning part and the like verse over and over and over again. What 330 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.359 was the verse again? Um? It was like he wanted comfortable. I 331 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:21.039 wanted that pain. Oh my god, I should not sing. He wanted 332 00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:23.920 the bride. I was making my own name, chasing the fame. It's 333 00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:30.319 like the feminist manifesto we all need. Yeah, I loved it. Now, 334 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.359 this song was amazing for me. We know who it was about because 335 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:40.640 it was like she was almost like apologetic in it. Yeah. I think 336 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:45.240 this one I heard was about Tom Hittleston. That makes sense. I also 337 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.480 heard Taylor Wautner because like, I guess I was the two guys whose hearts 338 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.240 she broke apparently. Yeah, and like they kind of stayed like stagnant after 339 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:59.079 that. I guess that makes sense kind of. Yeah, well, Taylor 340 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:06.039 Lautner actually made read someone named Taylor, so oh my god. Okay, 341 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:11.640 next song question, question mark. I like this one. It was like 342 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:18.599 fun, very like Poppy nine. Yeah. I love the vibes in this 343 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.519 one. I mean I didn't really think twice about it until I read some 344 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.119 theories where people are saying it's secretly about Carly Claus and their secret gay relationship. 345 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:30.720 Oh my god, no way, I didn't even realize that. Yeah, 346 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.680 I didn't either. But then like there were all these lyrics basically um, 347 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.839 like there's like a political lyric. It was like she was on your 348 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.200 mind, like some dickhead guy um that you saw that night, but you 349 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.960 were on something. It was one drink after another, fucking politics and gender 350 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.720 roles and you're not sure and I don't know, got swept away in the 351 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.559 gray and I may just like to have a conversation because you know how they 352 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.720 had that falling out. Yeah, oh my god, that makes so much 353 00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.279 sense. And then people were saying there was a part I think where she 354 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.359 was like I want you more than a best friend or something or something along 355 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.799 those lines. Now that I'm like thinking about it, I was like, 356 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.240 I was like, oh, maybe it's about a guy that she's friends with. 357 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.440 But now that you're saying, Taylor, this makes Carly, this makes 358 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.119 so much sense, right, Like this is giving like like to the Kaylor 359 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.279 like theory because like, yeah, even though it starts with like a boy 360 00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.440 and a girl, but like I feel like she just is not gonna like 361 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:29.000 openly say a girl and a girl. Maybe I don't know, interesting, 362 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.519 but I just think that, like there were so many rumors about their friendship 363 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:34.880 like kind of breaking apart because of like a couple of reasons. But one 364 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:40.599 of the theories was that Carly's marriage to Josh Kushner, who is Ivanka Trump's 365 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:44.839 brother in law. So a lot of like theories were like they stopp being 366 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.079 friends around that time, maybe because of political reasons and like you know, 367 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.559 Taylor being so vocally anti Trump. Yeah, And I feel like it's also 368 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.799 like if they did actually have a full on, some really kind of relationship, 369 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.400 I feel like it's kind of hard to be like go back to being 370 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:07.960 best friends with someone after that, especially dynamic like totally changes I think, 371 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.839 I mean obviously. But it's also like when car they got married, so 372 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.240 like I can see like if I was dating her, I feel betrayed. 373 00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.279 Yeah. Yeah, so that was like an interesting Easter egg, Like I 374 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.640 didn't I don't know how valid this is. I just thought it was very 375 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.240 interesting. Okay, next song. I also like this one and Gina hates 376 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.240 it. It's because it's Vigilante Ship and I love it because it gives me 377 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.519 reputation vibes so much. It's like dark, it's sexy. It's like a 378 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:42.680 song that I can totally see myself getting ready to everybody. Yeah, everybody 379 00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:48.559 was saying that it's about Scooter Brown, So I I love it. Why 380 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.839 why don't you like Gengy? Well, I don't like the name, Like 381 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.759 Vigilante Ship just sounds kind of like lazy honestly, and like kind of not 382 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:03.200 like almost beneath Taylor's alent for like naming things and like writing. Like. 383 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.920 I like the lyrics. I think they're super fun. I like the references 384 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.319 to like people that wronged there. I mean, this could be Scooter Brown 385 00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:14.480 and Yale and their divorce. This could be Kanye and Kim and their divorce, 386 00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.640 right, so, like, yeah, it could be both. It's 387 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:19.279 like one song, two birds. Let's like, you know, call out 388 00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.880 everyone. It's like all the men that wronged her are kind of getting their 389 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.359 karma according to the song. Right, So, like, I do get 390 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.400 the point of it. I love it. It's very reputation, but like, 391 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.759 I don't like them the way it sounds like. I just like it's 392 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:40.559 not like my favorite. I am so here for it. Like the lyrics, 393 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.039 let's discuss the lyrics because I feel like these need to be like set 394 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:48.640 out loud. Oh yeah, okay, So my favorite lyric is now she 395 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.480 gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride. Picture me thick 396 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.319 of Thieves with your ex wife, and she looks so pretty driving in your 397 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.359 bends. Lately she's been dressing for revenge. I like that's a Diana reference. 398 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:06.200 Oh my god, so good. Like, and you know, Kim 399 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:08.880 has been looking amazing. I actually don't follow Scooter Brown's wife, but I'm 400 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:14.400 sure she's been looking amazing too. Yeah, they're in their reputation era. 401 00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.400 Yeah, so like, oh my god, how funny would it be to 402 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:21.200 c. Taylor with kim Oh, my god, that would never happen. 403 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.400 I feel like, like no chance. No, she did make a reference 404 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.519 to her in the other song Karma, but we'll discuss it when together. 405 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:36.839 Yeah, okay, so we both agree on this song. Yes, this 406 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:42.039 one's super fun but Jeweled, we're both obsessed. It's just like fun upbeat. 407 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.799 Um. A lot of people think that it could be about Calvin Harris. 408 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:51.680 There's I feel like it kind of sounds like a Calvin Harris song with 409 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.240 like the like techno like videotronic. Yeah. Yeah, it does have like 410 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.799 that like video game like eighties background sound. It's almost like sound effect like 411 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.559 I mean it is called be Jeweled, which was my favorite game when I 412 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.160 was little. My god obsessed, So I like to have it on my 413 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:12.880 phone, right he would? I do love how like, you know, 414 00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.880 like nostalgic she is. I am too. I love that she's just like 415 00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.440 you know. UM named the song after this game and then had the video 416 00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:25.400 game sounds and the song. But the song is really just about a woman 417 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:29.519 being basically a jewel but being taken for granted and losing her shine. Right. 418 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.839 I love that lyric when she's like when I walk in the room, 419 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:38.119 I can still make the whole place shimmer like gorgeous lyric. She's not just 420 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.000 like some piece of arm candy. She's more than that. Yeah. And 421 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.319 then like you know, I like the like sassiness of which she's like, 422 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.440 you know, I have a man, but I'm over him. He doesn't 423 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.279 pay any attention to me. He takes me for granted. So she kind 424 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.799 of like it has like that still that revenge ee lyric in there too. 425 00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.480 Yeah, I love it, like the familiarity breeds contempt, so put me 426 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.680 in the base and when I want the penthouse of your heart like genius? 427 00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:06.160 How smart is that? How beautiful conic? And then when I meet the 428 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.759 band, they asked you have a man? I could still say I don't 429 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:15.759 remember, Like yeah, mic drop, I love that she's like where are 430 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:20.039 you now? Like I love that. That is such a like you know, 431 00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:24.319 empowering anthem, and it's like super fun and dancing. I love it. 432 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:30.519 One of the more fun songs on the album for sure. Next one 433 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.240 is actually one of my favorites. But I feel like no one else stands 434 00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:39.000 it. Yeah, like no one is talking about this song, which is 435 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.000 so weird to me. Because I think it's amazing. It's so fun. 436 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:51.839 Um tell us what song it is, Nicole Labyrinth, Like, yeah, 437 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.480 I'm talking about it's super cute. I yeah, I like it. I 438 00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.680 don't. I don't really have like negative feelings towards of but I don't have 439 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.519 super positive feelings towards it. I feel like it's one of those songs that 440 00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.160 I need to like listen to more and then I'll probably like get into it. 441 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.920 But it was another one of those mentioned to all the other songs for 442 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.519 me, like it didn't stand out for you. Yeah, so it stood 443 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.279 out for me, Like I was like, oh, that's a pleasant song, 444 00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.119 like it's so like fun and like cute, Like the lyrics are like 445 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:23.920 or like the even the Easter eggs or whatever, like it's nothing crazy, 446 00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:28.400 like it's just like about her being in love and you know, like Joe 447 00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.319 like being such a pleasant surprise and like not hurting her and like it's beautiful. 448 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:36.880 I love that. But um, I just like I love how like 449 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.319 fun it is. Like I don't know, it wasn't anything serious, but 450 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:43.359 it was super pleasant to me, And I like that one lyric that just 451 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.440 I really just made me feel all warm and fuzzy. It was like you 452 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:52.440 would break your back trying to make me break a smile beautiful. Oh that's 453 00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.319 cute. Yeah. See, I find I don't love all the songs that 454 00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:01.599 are about Joe and like like super love eve songs like coming for Me. 455 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:07.519 I like the like revenge angry, like fun songs. I can see that 456 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:13.840 you're in your villain era. I like Taylor when she's like a little edgy, 457 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:15.880 that's true. See, I missed the old Taylor when she was all 458 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:22.719 like you know, country Taylor. Yeah, and obviously like those were my 459 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.760 favorite love songs. They were like super like you know, when you really 460 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.480 love with someone and things are going actually well, there's no drama to talk 461 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:35.599 about. It's just good. She likes. That's where I'm at. Next 462 00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:44.000 song is another like Scooter Brown song, Uh Karma, did you like that? 463 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.800 So this is one of the other songs that immediately like went viral on 464 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.480 like social media with everyone being like, oh no, she didn't. That 465 00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.119 was amazing, Like she like really got back at everyone, and the lyrics 466 00:34:55.239 --> 00:35:00.159 like it's a so catchy. I liked it a lot. Yeah, it 467 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:06.159 was interesting because this is like kind of like fuck you in the sense that 468 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:08.960 She's like, yeah, I have good carbine. You don't. I'm happy 469 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:15.039 like living my best life exactly true. That's when she was like, I 470 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:20.719 keep my side at the street clean. Yeah, I loved it. So 471 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:24.039 they didn't say that, like you know, I mean they Internet is like 472 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:28.920 obviously stipulating that. It's like, um, it could be about Scooter Brown, 473 00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:34.599 Carly Claus or Scott Borchetta. There's like a lot of people that basically 474 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:38.440 wronged her that it could be help Tim Kanye. I mean, we could 475 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:43.719 go on for a while. She probably has like a little black book where 476 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.400 she's like, I got to write a song about this one, this one, 477 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.480 this one, well you know she does, that's what this whole album 478 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:54.400 is about. Literally, I respect that because I'm a petty queen too. 479 00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.599 We love to see it. I love it, and there's a lot of 480 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:02.519 theories about it. I think it's super fun, Like that whole chorus that 481 00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:06.840 everyone keeps like making Tick talks to you. I think because Karma's my boyfriend, 482 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.480 Karma's God Like, it's so fun, so catchy. I love that 483 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:16.679 next song, we have Sweet Nothing. You're not gonna like it, Okay, 484 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:23.239 the son I actually like it's like it is. It's like happy, 485 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:28.440 go lucky but not It's like mushy but like not too over the top. 486 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.280 I think it's another Joe Alwen song. Yeah, he wrote it with her 487 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:37.719 right, which is cute. I didn't realize that what's your favorite lyric? 488 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:43.440 Um? I loved the part where she said on the way home, I 489 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.559 wrote a poem and you said one of mind. This happens all the time, 490 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:50.440 Like I can see it happening. I can see her being like, 491 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:52.400 yep, I'm a genius. Like you know, she's that girl who's just 492 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:57.239 like scribbling down quick lyrics like as they come to her anywhere she is because 493 00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:01.400 she's a damn genius and people being like there she goes again being Taylor poetic. 494 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.960 Taylor strikes again, like you don't know what inspiration is gonna strike. 495 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:09.559 It's also just like super cute about like being loved for who she is and 496 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:13.960 Joe not needing anything from her, like you can tell it means a lot 497 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.639 to her, and you know that's cute. Here for it. Okay, 498 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:22.679 next song is my all time favorite one Mastermind. It's giving me blank space. 499 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:28.199 I love my God so fun. It's like one of the most poppy 500 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:32.039 songs I think on the album so good, just obsessed with it, like 501 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:37.719 it's about like scheming and like, you know, we love a schemer. 502 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:42.320 We sure, I do love it. That's one of the first, like 503 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.800 one of the songs that really jumped out for me at the first listen of 504 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:47.519 the album, and it's still there, you know. I just find it 505 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:51.519 so clever, so fun. I know she's being kind of like tongue in 506 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.920 cheek, but like I just it's kind of almost seems like a sequel to 507 00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:59.239 Blank Space about like, you know, girls being crazy and like, oh 508 00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:04.360 my god, manipulating. That's like the you know, the reputation she has, 509 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.239 but she's loved playing into it. I love it. I've been listening 510 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:15.360 to this one on repeat, like obsessed. What's your favorite lyric? You 511 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:19.719 see all the wisest woman had to do it this way because we were born 512 00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:22.920 to be the pawn in every Lover's game. I love that, like the 513 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:28.679 chess imagery and everything. It's so good. I love the like the connection 514 00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:32.639 the nod to Blank Space because like the Lover's Game, like that really just 515 00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:36.400 like brought it back to me. I was like, oh, it wasn't 516 00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:40.559 their chess imagery too in the video. Yeah, exactly, Like I want 517 00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:44.760 to think of the song I imagine the Blank Space video, like it's kind 518 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.920 of how she made that happen for us. I really wanted to do another 519 00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.320 video. I mean, like for this a lot. Apparently I wonder like 520 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.840 what songs they were for. I can't wait to see this, so excited. 521 00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:02.400 Okay next time. When moving into the three am parts, my favorite, 522 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:09.119 Yes, So I love the Great War. I like it too. 523 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:15.960 It's like very classic Taylor, like old school, all the metaphors, historical 524 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.280 metaphors. I love it, like you know, she's painting you a story. 525 00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:22.239 Like it's like her classic like love story of like you know, back 526 00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:25.920 in the day. It's kind of like giving me like fearless speaking of Taylor. 527 00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:31.559 Yeah, and like the Last Great American Dynasty kind of. Yeah, 528 00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:35.719 I love it. Like it's like cute, Like it's nothing that like super 529 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.679 memorable, but I wouldn't skip it, like it's cute. Yeah, I'm 530 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:44.239 I'm very into this one. Um. The next one is the one that 531 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.199 like really just like breaks my heart and it's just so cute to me, 532 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:51.760 Like I thought it was like super cute to listen to and then like I 533 00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.480 looked up at all the like you know, meaning behind the lyrics, and 534 00:39:54.559 --> 00:40:00.000 people are speculating and it just kind of made it sadder for me. Do 535 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:05.320 you know the story? Yeah, so I heard that this song is actually 536 00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:09.239 about miscarriage and infertility, which makes it so sad. I didn't realize either 537 00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:15.719 when I first heard it. And yeah, it's just very depressing this song, 538 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.519 Like I didn't realize it, but then now I can't hear it now. 539 00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.599 That's like it's been pointed out, you know. And lyrics are like 540 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:28.079 so deep and yeah, like which lyrics are the ones that really just like 541 00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:31.800 connected for you? Um? Okay, so there's this lyric I have in 542 00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:36.199 my notes. Um, I've got a lot to live without. I'm never 543 00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.639 going to meet what could have been, would have been, what should have 544 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:44.519 been? Um, which is like sounds that sounds so straightforward and obvious. 545 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:50.880 Yeah, exactly. I feel like you remember that song she wrote I think 546 00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:54.599 was the Folklore and one of the recent albums about her mom's cancer, Like 547 00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:59.800 it was like so beautiful. I love that song, but I can't listen 548 00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.599 to it a lot because it makes me cry. Yeah, I feel like 549 00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:07.920 that's exactly this is what I'm getting from this, moving on to like a 550 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:15.480 fun song, change in the mood a little bit. Um we're talking about 551 00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:20.320 Paris. We love this song. I love this song. As soon as 552 00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:22.639 I listened to the album, I was like, yeah, this one's a 553 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.760 hit. This was like the lowest favorite song too, right, like super 554 00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.519 super cute, super poppy, and it's just like again about her relationship with 555 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.320 Joe and how like you know, the length they go to keep it private 556 00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.199 and like safe. I guess yeah. I think it was a lot about 557 00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:42.400 like the beginning of the relationship too, and how like you know you're hiding 558 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.760 the relationship at the beginning and stuff. I saw a lot of that in 559 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.679 the lyrics too. I like like the nod to like you know, traveling 560 00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:53.000 with like you know you love and like having like that like privacy and hotel 561 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:59.360 room fun. Like it's just like giving that whole like romantic like Parisian vibe. 562 00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.760 I love it, and how like the city is like magical when you 563 00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.360 come with your love and like it's just really cute this song. What's your 564 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:13.000 favorite lyric? Well, it's like this whole sequence of like privacy sign on 565 00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:15.199 the door, which is obviously hotel rooms, beautiful, cute, romantic, 566 00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:19.440 and then it's like, on my page and on the whole world, romance 567 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:22.119 is not dead if you keep it just yours. So like she's showing why 568 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.360 she keeps it so private, after that, all the scrutiny of her love 569 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.840 life, and then she's like levitated above all the messes made, sit quiet 570 00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:34.119 by my side in the shade. And it's not the kind that's thrown. 571 00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.960 I mean the kind underwear tree has grown. How cute is that? Oh 572 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.320 my god, so cute. I'm obsessed, Like that's beautiful. That's just 573 00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.199 like showing how like, you know, she's so used to like shade being 574 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:49.760 thrown. I literally feel like I'm in Paris when I listened to this song. 575 00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:52.719 I know it makes me feel so romantic. I want to go on 576 00:42:52.760 --> 00:43:00.039 a date. I love it. The next one ever they like, but 577 00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:06.760 I can't figure out who it was about. Yeah, it's very catchy. 578 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.480 This one very catchy, and like it's kind of interesting because she's talking about 579 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.800 like, you know, kind of like betrayed. It almost sounds like, 580 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.440 I mean it's called high infidelity. Yeah we should say which song it? 581 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.039 Yeah, So like I was like, oh, a cheating song. Who's 582 00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:24.480 cheating? What's up? But it's just like kind of there's so many theories 583 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:29.360 about this. I think it's super catchy, super quick and fun. People 584 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.039 say it's about Calvin Harris because she keeps singing about April twenty nine, which 585 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.480 is when he released the song with Rihanna. Yes, I love that song, 586 00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.480 um, but that she co wrote and he didn't give her credit for 587 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.440 it or like, you know, I don't know she said she was mad 588 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:46.440 about the release or something. Well, she didn't say, but that was 589 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:50.719 the theory. Obviously she didn't say. Yeah. And I also get to 590 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:55.719 like electronic vibes maybe that she's alluding to Calvin in this song, Like what 591 00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:00.039 was the other one, um that I said about Calvin? Oh yeah yeah 592 00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.960 to be Jeweled? No yeah yeah yeah. So like yeah, I like 593 00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.519 it. I think it's super fun. Whoever it's about. Um, it's 594 00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:13.920 just like an interesting kind of like almost like she painted this whole um like 595 00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:21.079 a story of like a woman like cheating and taking back her whatever because it's 596 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:23.440 about like a guy calling you, like I don't know. The lyrics are 597 00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:28.639 like amazing to me. I like lising my train of thoughts in this one. 598 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:35.079 Okay. The next one is probably my most hated song on Okay, 599 00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:38.199 so I agree on that. Yes, high five to that, because this 600 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:42.880 is the fucking worst song ever. I don't know how the song was ever 601 00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.760 made. It actually sounds like what it is glitch. It sounds like she's 602 00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:51.199 just like banging things and like pressing buttons and she's like, yeah, this 603 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:53.159 will, this will be a song. It gives me a headache. I 604 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:59.159 literally have to skip it immediately. Yeah, no, this is not for 605 00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:00.719 me. I'm mean, I think it might be an ode to Joe. 606 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:06.000 I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm not into it. Whatever 607 00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:08.320 it is, I'm not listening to this like it's the one song I hate. 608 00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:13.039 I want to make a playlist of the album and just not include this 609 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:16.119 album, the song, or the song. I mean, yeah, yeah, 610 00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:19.639 it like came out of nowhere. I'm like, what is happening. 611 00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.079 It sounds like my computer was breaking down. I'm just like I don't know 612 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:25.239 this, no, this, I don't know what she was trying to do 613 00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:30.719 here. Um. Next song is another one that I love. It's the 614 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:36.079 cancel John Mayor's song would Have, could Have, should Have Somewhere John Mayor 615 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:39.880 is shaking. Oh my god. I was wondering because, okay, so 616 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:44.079 this three Am thing came out right, and I didn't know what came out 617 00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:46.400 like the first thing. After I woke up the next day and I was 618 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:51.440 scrolling through Instagram because like before I hit like Spotify, obviously I'm going to 619 00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:53.280 go on Instagram. So I keep seeing all these like, oh my god, 620 00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:57.000 Taylor Swift canceled John Mayor, taylors With canceled John Mayor, and I'm 621 00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.880 like, what is going on? What? I didn't hear anything on Midnight 622 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:07.000 about it? What did I miss? And then I see a whole other 623 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:10.719 set of songs and I'm like, oh my god, like I loved it 624 00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:16.400 so good. There's this song it's about like losing her virginity, being really 625 00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:21.400 young dating an older guy, and it's kind of like dark this song. 626 00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:27.280 There's a lot of like lyrics about like losing your childhood and almost like being 627 00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:31.320 groomed. So although it's like a really good song, there is a dark 628 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:36.800 part to it. What it's like. So I loved Dear John. It's 629 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:38.800 one of my favorite songs of hers. Yeah, and I feel like this 630 00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:43.440 is like a more darker adult version of that, as in like waking from 631 00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.519 like you know, a perspective of ten years later, like Wow, I 632 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:50.800 was silly. I did not realize how wrong this was, but you did 633 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.159 do this to me. And I love how she's like looking back on it 634 00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:59.039 now and she's like, I was obsessed with the pain back then, but 635 00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:04.079 now I regret it. I'm it's just like it was hard to listen to 636 00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:07.639 because like when in the time and the lyric that she goes, um, 637 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:09.840 I lay awake at night every day regretting you or something, and I'm like, 638 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:14.440 oh my god, are you still thinking about this? Like was it 639 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.239 like that horrible? Like what did he do? That's why they want to 640 00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:21.159 cancel? Yeah, like John Mayor, we need to have a talk. 641 00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:30.480 And then she followed up with the final song, which is also sounds like 642 00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:37.119 a reference to John. It's Dear Reader, And of course dear Drawn makes 643 00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:43.400 sense. You see the parallels. Yes, so that is kind of like 644 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:47.800 a a nod to John, but also it's kind of like a explanation to 645 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:52.400 her us her fans how she was feeling during this album and like why basically 646 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:55.119 like, do your reader if you're reading my diarye this is what I was 647 00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:59.719 thinking, and that's why I had to like write it. I thought it 648 00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:04.599 was cute and I really liked that song too, A good way to end 649 00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:08.199 it and like wrap everything up. I think it was like super super cute. 650 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:15.880 I'm very happy with um this album. Now, two days later, 651 00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:20.960 you were texting me and being like, what the hell is this? I 652 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:25.480 hate this. I was so disappointed, being because I liked it, I 653 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:30.280 think a little bit more than you did. You did, you actually saw 654 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:31.599 it, but what it was. You were like, Oh, it's like 655 00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:36.599 a darker, like more like you know, grown up, and I was 656 00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:42.079 like, where You're like, I'm throwing this out. I was like, 657 00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:46.000 I'm still traumatized and kind of personally victimized by evermore so. I never got 658 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:51.360 over how much I did not like that album, and you probably were like 659 00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:54.440 listening to it being like no, not at tailor again exactly. I was 660 00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:59.119 like, So, me and my boyfriend have this tradition that obviously I forced 661 00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:02.239 on him. We like listen to the midnight release of Taylor Swift albums every 662 00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:08.559 time she releases an album, and I call it bop or not. Oh 663 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:17.480 my god, amazing. He's definitely not, but he has opinions because like, 664 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.039 after years of listening to all her releases, he's like, oh my 665 00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:22.079 god, this one sucks too. It's like every More. I'm like, 666 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:28.039 yes, you're getting it. You've trained him so well. I really have, 667 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.039 because I was like, I mean, like, I was so excited 668 00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:31.000 I had every day. I'd be like, hey, guess what, like 669 00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:36.880 three day still Taylor, Taylor, I'm so excited, And I was like, 670 00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:40.960 oh my god, like one of her best albums, yet I still 671 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.519 like it, just you know, not my faith. I am going to 672 00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:49.039 take the fact that it's not her worst, but it's definitely not her best. 673 00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:52.800 Yeah. What would you rate it out of ten? Oh my god, 674 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:57.880 I don't know, like a six maybe? Yeah, I think I 675 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:01.679 would give it like a seven, like to be fair, like all of 676 00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:07.440 her albums besides Evermore on Folklore rate like nine or ten for me. Yeah, 677 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:14.880 like she does, like yeah exactly. Sement is pretty low for me 678 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:19.280 because I'm like such a SWIFTI Folklore is like five for me. Evermore is 679 00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:24.199 like zero. It's not on the scale. No, there's not that I 680 00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:29.159 love. Yeah. Yeah, and then this one was like like a six 681 00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:32.039 or seven, Like I listened to it like I don't hate. Maybe it'll 682 00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:36.480 go even a little bit higher once I continue to listen to it. I 683 00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:39.079 feel like that always happens to me with Taylor albums. Yeah, every time 684 00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:43.199 you listen to you like you hear something new. That's what I love song 685 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:49.519 writing.
