SECRET SONG Reaction: Singapore (Night 2)
Added 2024-03-04 03:41:35 +0000 UTC
THIS WAS SUCH A SUPERIOR SURPRISE SONG NIGHT OMG???
In retrospect, it’s so funny how we deep dove into the meaning of The Black Dog to a ridiculous degree. In my opinion, it’s some of our best work. Only to find out that it was just a bar. However it could have layers upon layers of meaning. But I think it’s so amazing how Taylor is educating us about so many things even if it has nothing to do with what the songs actually mean, we are so much smarter about history, literature, poetry, art, films etc etc etc. Dr. Taylor Swift, Professor of Life is the best teacher that ever existed.

in retrospect there are such parallels between clean and the black dog!

The Black Dog’s line “Old habits die screaming” the compulsive habit of seeing where his location. To sing “I think I’m finally Clean” 10 months after Matty announcing that you’ll be releasing a song saying I was addicted to knowing where you are is Mastermind energy!!

Clean and Evermore are such perfect songs to play when introducing The Black Dog.

May be clowny, but the guitar song mashups started with 3 songs, 2 songs, 1 song, and then 2 songs since. I have a feeling the 2 guitar and 2 piano songs are similar to the peace signs/2s that have been popping up. My hunch is that after that is realized, there will be fewer mashups and we will get more full songs again. Maybe even peace and lss. (i hope!)

Re-watching the part oof the announcement for "The Black Dog" ver. and with the interpretation of this phrase just gave me another aha moment!
When I looked it up, the dictionary's definition was "used as a metaphor for 【melancholy】 or depression" and it linked me back to the line in "Lavender Haze" where she says "And you don't really read into my 【melancholia】."
There's probably not a direct link in this, but the words she chooses to put into a song just blows my mind and "forces" me to learn more new English words of expressing oneself all the time (also cause English is not my first language🤪)! Can't wait for this song, think it's going to ruin us🫠

I think she chooses the acoustic section songs 100% with swifties in mind.
Is it possible that she played Ivy BECAUSE you guys were there? Can’t remember if that was the VIP tent show or a different one.

Did you all get Ivy at the show when you were in the vip area with Scott or was Ivy a different night?

I'm just now watching this reaction so I HOPE you see this but,
BONNY, I know how much you loved Noah's Stick Season Album and he actually has a song called Howling ( if you haven't listened I HIGHLY recommend) but he actually uses this phrase in the second verse, saying “You're not alone, the world is small and I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
Love comes and goes but the big black dog, he trails along, am I the only one who knows him?”
this song was IMMEDIATELY what I thought of when Tay announced this variant. And with this knowledge I'm just assuming this song is going to cause me emotional damage. 😭😭

I would have wanted all of Long Story Short because she had never played it before. Some of the mashups are so good but mostly songs she had already played

Bonny’s prediction of Taylor going into ‘past me’ 😂 so accurate!!
Kirstie
2024-03-05 21:43:06 +0000 UTC
I do wonder if these songs are about Joe as we suspect then maybe the titles/phrasings are things she’s picked up from her time in the UK because I’m a Brit and I’ve heard the phrase the black dog as referring to depression quite a lot because it was something that Churchill famously talked about a lot? Just a though. Also side note but has anyone refathomed bigger than the whole sky in the context of a relationship breaking down because I never understood that song but that could make a lot of sense

I always felt like The song Evermore was written for her supportive fans, it seems to me that the mashup clean x evermore wants to tell us: you will hear sad music, you will read sad prose… but I am clean now and… you were there.

Lily Logan
2024-03-05 01:47:04 +0000 UTC
I agree Bonny songs like Peace and Long Story Short she purposely is leaving out the veryyyy personal Joe verses/lyrics. In Peace leaving out “your cascade ocean wave blues come” and that verse feels intentional. I totally understand it being to emotional for her to sing some lyrics now 💔🤍

It seems like she has a pattern for releasing new music during the tour (announced with X number of shows before break, release during break) so potentially we could get a reptv announcement in Europe and release during the aug/sept break before she is back for us/canada

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the fact that The Black Dog is also another name for the mythical creature, a hellhound, which originated in England??? The hellhound is known to be a frightful thing that appears to a person as a bad omen to signal impending death!! It’s a passive creature, but is vicious if provoked. It has dramatic entrances and exits , and while it’s so hard to spot as it only comes in the darkness of night, it is said that one can smell its odor as it gets closer, and that it leaves a path of scorched earth as it crosses your way. It’s also known to be a guard dog in some stories where it looked after great treasures. There’s conflict on whether it is an ally or your greatest enemy………..,, girls please discuss!!
For old habits die screaming, it reminded me of a quote that goes something like ‘everything I’ve ever let go of has my claw marks left on it’ 💀

You guys so deserve a Taylor interview!!!! Emily, I love your question about how she figures out words to use. Relatedly, it was just announced that Taylor is distantly related to Emily Dickinson....because with her writing ability, of course she fucking is!!! I feel like the world is made for this woman.
C
2024-03-04 20:38:08 +0000 UTC
I'm having a mental breakdown over the colour scheming here. Like Taylor's first Joe album, rep, being black and white, and now her likely final Joe album TTPD being white and black. There's sort of this yin yang symbolism going on. A closed circle moment. I'm scared.
Jason
2024-03-04 20:36:41 +0000 UTC
HAS ANYONE EVER NOTICED SOME OF THE TTPD IMAGES - YOU CAN SEE THE NAME JOE. THE 2ND ALBUM COVER, FROM FAR AWAY LOOK IT SPELLS JOE. HER HAIR IS THE E! HER HEAD IS THE O. AND THE PILLOW MAKES THE J POSSIBLY? I FEEL LIKE THIS IS ALSO SEEN ON BACK OF TTPD ALBUM COVER #1. HER HAIR IS THE J. HEAD THE O. FINGERS THE E!!!!!!! AM I CRAZY OR DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS!?

2024-03-04 16:51:32 +0000 UTC
I’d been missing seeing Ari and it cracked me up when I saw the black tail wagging away - and thought about how fitting (coincidental?) it is that Ari showed up in this particular video. Maybe dogs are prescient?! And then Mieke’s little prank. Perfect.
Karen Valentino
2024-03-04 16:49:35 +0000 UTC
It's interesting — I'm from the UK and I've noticed Taylor has been using a lot of UK terminology that I've realised maybe isn't as well known or widely used outside of the UK. "The black dog" is a very common term for depression here, and it is what I immediately thought of. Similarly, with the song title "fortnight", a lot of americans don't seem familiar with the term. Makes sense with her UK connection through Joe!

Winston Churchill an ex uk prime minister (iconic, led us thru ww1 like a boss) would refer to his bouts of depression as his black dog. Just another lil link there. I think it’s a great metaphor, like you have this dog at your heels, following you everywhere, but no one else sees it but you? Kind of this is me trying vibes too maybe.

Clowning for Rep doesn’t have to mean the album. I was thinking she would announce the Rep Tour new streaming location since it’s leaving Netflix! 🖤
Erica Trull
2024-03-04 15:21:33 +0000 UTC
The Black Dog has other symbolism too! It definitely could be depression, but it’s also the grim, or a death omen. Cerberus is a black dog who guards the Underworld in Hades.
Brittany Fitzgerald
2024-03-04 15:19:11 +0000 UTC
You guys, I’ve been fathoming- as suggested, the black dog may be a mental health reference. As Taylor said, she really needed to write this album, it was necessary for her and what she was going through- what if the not announcing the final variant on N1 was symbolising her hesitation on speaking out of how she felt, especially with the potential scrutiny from Joe, or symbolising the hesitancy of seeking help for her mental health but ultimately decided that its whats best and seeks the help, hence the announcement on N2. The black dog may be a really hard hitting song emotionally and this could have been another egg to suggest this???
Joanna
2024-03-04 15:09:54 +0000 UTC
The dog days ('the violence if the dog days' she sang evermore the night she releases black dog🫠) refer to the point when the star Sirius aka the dog star aka the brightest star in the sky is blocked in spring and then reappears in August😳. People used to thing this brought misery of the hottest time of the year - plants to wilt etc. That's why today dog days means period of inactivity or decline ...im down a rabbit hole if you can't tell 😂
Ella
2024-03-04 15:08:58 +0000 UTC
Part of my brain wonders if the mash-ups initially started as just something new for her to try creatively, and then when she fathomed the response she was getting to them, she then decided to encode these messages in them. So perhaps what is now intentional started as a happy accident?
Jennifer Mays

Taylor already answered your question in an interview at Apple Music during the Evermore era. She has a file of words that she finds interesting that she can put into songs or use to create concepts. Words she read somewhere, heard or looked for. I think we have a habit of putting Taylor on this untouchable level, since she is human too. And I think there's nothing wrong with her searching for some words on Google if she needed to, I do that as a writer. I think nowadays it's easier to find information, so why not search for a word or synonym on Google if you need it?
And also I just wanted to point out that Lover and Evermore are not completely cohesive albums. Some critics even pointed this out in their reviews. Evermore is not 100% cohesive because it is an extension of the Folklore sound. But you find several genres within the Evermore, that extend what Folklore limited itself. In Evermore we find folk (Champagne Problem), dream-pop (Gold Rush), country (Cowboy Like Me), alt pop (Long Story Short and Closure). And Lover has synth-pop (Cruel Summer), r&b/jazz (False God), pop/rock (Paper Rings), indie pop (It's Nice To Have a Friend). I find it fascinating that Taylor knows when an album needs to be cohesive and when it doesn't need to be. Fearless, 1989, Reputation, Folklore and Midnights are very cohesive albums in sound, because they don't deviate too much from the proposed genre, but albums like Speak Now, Red, Lover, Evermore don't focus on staying in one sound but rather create something broad and vast. I love that about Taylor's albums. When she wants to really experiment on an album she doesn't mind if it's not 100% coehsive.

long story short/the story of us to me felt like her going back and forth in how she felt about the breakup - when she sang "past me, i wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things....." then switches to "BUT i'm standing alone in a crowed room...." as if she's arguing with herself 👀

I don’t know why but I feel like TTPD might have a similar vibe/sound to Florence‘s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. Maybe it’s the feature, the aesthetic or the subject matter we know about. But I really think it also might have this rock(ish), orchestral and dramatic energy. I would btw DIE if you would ever react to Florence (and this album in particular) if you haven’t heard it already and share your opinion. It’s one of my favorite albums ever and sooo perfect.

2024-03-04 10:53:42 +0000 UTC
LSS / SOU mashup was so illegal but Clean/Evermore was to die for. The three song mashup…. It made sense for her to do it with GC/August/TOSOTD. Lyrically, they go together. We can find thematic relevance to every mashup if we want, but really it’s lyrically where they all are linked. GC/August/TOSOTD are lyrically linked by words. “TIL I switched to THE OTHER SIDE”, “rust on your DOOR, i never NEEDED anything more”, “all I NEED is on THE OTHER SIDE of the DOOR”. The songs themselves are not related but it’s the WORDS in each mashup that link the songs. “Long STORY short”, “STORY of us”. “Rain came pouring in when I was drowning”, “unmoored, Shipwrecked, waves being tossed”.

GIRLS!! 😜🩷🤗 PRETTY PLEASE, can you try pretending you’re reacting to the Surprise Songs LIVE again?? This rapid-fire fathoming AND PAUSING THE VIDEOS 800 TIMES 🤣 is giving me whiplash, lol… plus, many of us (me! 🙋♀️) DID actually watch it live, and we’re SOOO EXCITED FOR YOU TO HEAR THESE FREAKING AMAZING MASHUPS AHHHHH!! 😂😂😂 except that now I’m just kinda sad instead because it’s taking foreverrrrrrr for you to get there bc you keep pausing the videos, lol. 🤷♀️😆 Just kidding. Kinda. 😉 I think some regular ole post-song fathoming sounds positively riveting! Just what the doctor ordered… 🥳💃🫶

Just a note about the black dog and how you were fathoming whether she knows these phrases already or researches them. I know that the black dog is something used in therapy to help people understand feelings tied to depression, its possible that perhaps she finds out about these concepts when talking through things with a therapist? but obviously we dont know if this is something that she does. just a thought!

I have a fucked up theory. but i think after TTPD if we get a travis album it also might be a country album like her going back to her roots and the music that made her happy to write. like a full circle kinda moment. Idk i just think love songs about travis need to be country not pop.

I would love a fathoming video about the mashups (or some of the nost illegal ones) and exploring the new meanings that the song choices make. Maybe you'll do that on your refathomings eventually

the only reason I know the meaning of black dog is because arlo parks has a song titled that!!! in the song she sings "I'd take a jump off the fire escape, to make the black dog go away" then later "it's so cruel what your mind can do for no reason" about dealing with depression

The way I was crying in bed at 8:45 am this morning to the mashup of clean with evermore. That was too much! Have you guys heard the fan theory going around about how Joe didn't really write the songs with her and that putting him on as a songwriter was a cover up so people wouldn't realize the songs were about their relationship having issues? People have been saying there are signs in her and Jack's body language during Long Pond Studio Sessions pointing to this, so I went and re-watch it. When Taylor says Joe was singing the entire first verse of Exhile Jack's response seems very much like he is calling BS on it, and Taylor has sort of fumbles and has trouble making eye contact. Similar thing happens again later on when discussing the writing of Betty and when Taylor says James did some foolish things Jack chimes in "allegedly" which I found to be kind of an odd thing for him to say. And this ties back to fan theories that Joe may have cheated. It is also very interesting that the movie he is in called The Last Letter to Your Lover" has a lady by the name of Augustine who worked on the film. Perhaps a refathoming of the Long Pond Sessions is a video idea.

People thought she was announcing Rep because of the black heart Taylor Nation posted, but it turns out it was for a The Black Dog. I know that term because there’s a charity in Australia called that, but it focuses on male depression. I didn’t realise it applied to women as well. In hindsight, if she knew this album was going to be made, Folklore and Evermore colours could’ve been brown and dark green, Tortured Poets could’ve been grey, and the love album that’s sure to follow this, could’ve been white.

I think peace and long story short are probably too hard for to sing in full and the choice of the lyrics she did mash actually fit with the narrative of it not working out and what it feels like it means now.

Bonny, you were really locked in this morning! Everything you said was spot on; predicting "past me", recognizing the chords from evermore instantly, the clean and evermore symbolism, the tea at the end about how she's morphing the Joe love songs to make them match the current mood a bit more.
"The Black Dog" and the black cover are definitely hitting me harder than the other variants. It feels like it is about her more than about Joe.

My favorite black dog metaphor: "This metaphor can represent the gradual overtaking of enjoyable activities you once loved, the person you once recognized in the mirror, or the life you once lived. The metaphor represents how depression does not take breaks but may feel like a following shadow– a large, lumbering shadow as loyal as a canine."

I think she knows more of these niche phrases because she probably reads a lot and just got her phd in english, right (?)! I just read a book this past year that involved an albatross as a main character lol called piranesi by susanne clark. I was like... did she read that damn book ?! excited to see if theres any connection there in the album.

Not to discredit Taylor at all but I will say that half the time there are phrases or words that she uses that y’all don’t seem familiar with and I’m kinda surprised by. I’m from America, and also grew up middle class so I think there might just be that element of it’s more cultural normal to use that phrase? Idk do other Americans feel this way as well?

the issue with the mashups and not getting the full song... i feel like with some of these that she hasn't played in full she doesn't want to? like peace definitely feels like she didn't want to play the whole thing as I'm sure that's a very sensitive song for her still. with lss it's a bit less sad maybe but i still feel like it's hard for her to do the whole thing given it's a joe love song in so many ways i think mashing it with a break up song makes it easier??
Sabrina Thompson-Cook

both mashups were so offensive, but i'm sometimes most taken by the little bits of taylor's sense of humor and glimpses of her personality in the eras tour shows. night 2, my favorite was her throwing her guitar strap over her head to start playing the secret songs and saying, "as you can see, my hair has returned to its factory settings!" (thanks Esme on discord for reminding me what she said exactly). so self deprecating and adorable. thanks for the very insightful video and i'm glad ari chicken is finally getting the recognition she deserves from taylor!

Clean and Evermore are probably two of my favorite songs, so this mashup broke me. She did Clean the 1st time a week before the break up with Joe was announced. (April 1, Arlington, Announced April 7) The second time a week before the break up with Matty Healy was announced. (May 28th MetLife, Announced June 5) As probably the only person here that does not stan Tayvis, I'm lowkey hopeful. #SorryNotSorry

Katherine Adams
2024-03-04 05:13:29 +0000 UTC
She has always done it on this tour, the wristbands in the stadium change according to the era for each secret song. The fact that since she’s been doing mashups recently it takes a little bit of time for them to switch when she shifts songs makes me think she keeps her song selections for each night a complete surprise - even her crew maybe doesn’t know until she’s actually playing, and someone quickly has to shift the color they are set to once she starts playing a different song.
Leijette Riopel
2024-03-04 05:13:18 +0000 UTC

1.) I 100% support you in some day meeting and interviewing Taylor Swift. I am manifesting it for you!!
2.) It means so much to me how in-depth you go into to everything! It really helps me fathom and understand the genius behind Taylor Swift on a new level. Like I NEVER would have released the connection between the final varient and clean and evermore being album closers and about getting over something. HELP!
3.) The way the 2 of you play off of each other and build on each other's ideas and have unique perspectives is so wholesome and so refreshing and so magical to behold
4.) I often get very overwhelmed on social media with everyone's posts, theories, updates, etc. And it is actually so comforting to know I can just block out all that noise and just come here and TRUST that you will feed me with everything I need to know. You provide the best swiftie community I have ever been a part of!
5.) I am honestly just so grateful for you both. You bring me so much joy every single day. And I feel so seen and validated by you. Thank you for everything you do <3 <3 <3 you are both truly iconic, illegal, superior humans!!!

I do think that she is challenging herself creatively with the mashups, but I also think she is using them to change the narrative and tell a story before TTPD comes out. Curious what she will do at the shows after it comes out..

Currently loving the theory, that midnights and the 4 variants of (Tortured Poets) are the 5 stages of grief. Midnights being denial and the Black Dog is acceptance. All I can think of with the black dog is Sirius Black, since Taylor also mentioned Horcruxes during her Time Person of the year. Also Sirius the Dog Star, the brightest star in the sky. Acceptance = she is the brightest star or bejeweled again. Also, after the 5 stages of grief is revenge (reputation). Anyways, 🫶🏻🫶🏻!

i have a confession. long story short is actually one of my least favs on evermore. the lyrics are absolutely superior and i love the story and all the rep connections. it's production that i don't love. so when she did it on guitar it was sooo superior! i prefer it this way

Thoughts: I now think Taylor deliberately went live yesterday to mess with us because she was wearing the yellow dress and she’s seen our commentary on the yellow dress. Taylor Nations comments on the green dress make me think it even more.
Lyrics and words Taylor uses in her songs: I think it just comes down to your life experience. I personally read a lot and I think Taylor does as well so the words and phrases she uses in her songs reflect that. To her, they probably aren’t unusual.
Black Dog: my first thought went to depression because of The Black Dog institute which is a group that work in mental health here in Australia.
Her mashup combos are just getting better and better and I can’t wait to see what she does next! I was also dying to see your faces when she started playing long story short 😆😆😆😆😆

Go after it girlies! It’s something that could happen. She will be gearing up to promote Tortured Poets so get your request in :)

What if when TTPD comes out she stops doing secret songs all together and just does TTPD instead? 🫠

The black dog for depression is pretty common. See Weather Channel by Sheryl Crow

This is so crazy but also the movie “someone great” that was inspired by clean was released on 19th April 😭

Honestly Clean was never one of my favorites. But hearing it mixed with Evermore has really made me FATHOM Clean for the first time. 😅

I honestly feel like you two, of all Swifties, have the potential of someday interviewing Taylor…and what a deeply superior interview that will be. 🙌🏽

Yes I think it is a common Aussie/UK phrase! I hadn’t heard of it but my husband knew it straight away before we even looked anything up that it was a saying for depression.

I can’t get over the connection between LSS and TSOU. Not just the story stuff but “I would lay my armor down” and “when I dropped my sword” (I wish she had sang that part!) I need to think about all the war imagery in her songs.

I was so happy to hear timt full version in Melbourne but was sooo sad I didn’t get the full version of peace in Syd. But NYD is one of my Stan songs also so I really am not complaining I promise 😂

There's a charity in Australia called The Black Dog institute that advocates for better mental health. They're a really great organisation, so it's definitely a common phrase for depression. Great video!

Yeah I agree I wish we could hear the full versions of songs that had never been played before, but I love the mashups for the repeat songs!

THIS MIGHT BE MY BIGGEST LOSS OF THE SECRET SONG IN PIANO SECTION. IM THE BIGGEST EVERMORE SONG STAN AND MASHUP WITH CLEAN I-
And… the way she renditioned the piano melody from “I Think I am finally clean to the intro of evermore.” Singapore n2 fucking won

Long Story short is one of my favorite Taylor songs and while I'm happy it got its moment. I need the full song played as a surprise song 😭
Ben Kearney
2024-03-04 03:49:10 +0000 UTC
This might just be the best combo yet with Clean and Evermore. I do wish Long Story Short had her own moment though, just like I wish Peace did.
Also I wish she brought this insane guitar and piano mashup energy to Melbourne 😭 I know we’re lucky with the mashups we got but damn Sydney and now Singapore have been elite with the double combos.

The ONLY reason I can maybe explain Reputation coming out soon, is she would want TV out for when the Era's tour is available for streaming.

I've been trying to avoid spoilers all morning because I was out seeing Tim Minchin's concert last night but alas I was spoiled!
But oh my god how offensive to get the new track called The Black Dog, which is the symbol of depression. I wonder if it's referring to Joe or herself? You also are blown away by how niche the metaphor of the black dog is, but I can tell you that within mental health spheres and people with depression, it's a very well-known symbol. It makes me think even moreso that Joe suffered with depression, "when your ocean wave blues come"
