Our favourite silly goofy gal is back in her Drunk Taylor™ era, winning all the main categories and dancing to every performance?? We LOVE TO SEE IT!!!

As an American I completely agree it has no hold like it use to when we were younger its so cringey now unless I am seeing an artist I am interested in.

Haha that night was just a mess and Taylor just gave no fucks and I drank right alongside her. Iconic in every way!
Also I just need to say that I don't know if we have really come to terms with the fact that Taylor is winning awards for Best Director now...I mean this girl is gonna win a fucking Oscar one day..Like she is not just a singer/songwriter anymore, she is directing and producing videos and films at this point!! 1989 is a day out right now and this girl just will not/cannot stop...it really is just too much 😱
Edit: 😂 Bonny and the "Cowboy Like Me" realisation. Too true, too true

Hmmm I think perhaps you have missed the point and might need to relax no one said anything about hate. I don’t really like your comment and think saying hate is taking it a bit far tbh.

Taylor wrote mean about a man who was obsessed with her and spent time writing hate articles just because someone has constructive criticism about Olivia performance doesn't mean they're being hateful not everything is hate

I felt that too but it was also her first ever tour so I could understand her still finding her performance style. She also kept it pretty low budget, no choreography, no backup dancers, no props. Those things will come with time I think.

bonny saying “ready for it” “delicate” and “dress” in the span of two minutes and just incorporating them into sentences accidentally IS a reputation easter egg
Noah Sharon
2023-09-18 16:01:02 +0000 UTC
With olives performance I think everyone should remember that Taylor wrote a song mean about someone who didn’t like her performance at the Grammy’s when she was about the same age. Taylor didn’t always crush every performance. It took her time to get past nerves and external influence to embrace her vibe. I don’t like that anyone compares or even says she doesn’t have stage presence. She is still finding her feet in the industry that compares her to an idol. I love her cute vibe on stage and how she is trying to be fun and silly. She will be great and find her feet but she is still so new and I hope she keeps performing and getting better the same way Taylor did and uses any external noise to work on her craft.
Sally Evans
2023-09-17 22:51:10 +0000 UTC
I feel so bad for Olivia, I guess she will always be compared to others or expected to know how to have the same stage presence as someone who has done it for almost two decades. Maybe there was never any bad blood between her and Taylor but now I understand why she does not talk about Taylor anymore, and why she does not create any content regarding Taylor, I wouldn't either. So sad.

So weird I said the exact same thing about Olivia Rodrigo's performance to my sister! She just seemed nervous and yeah there was just something missing. I feel bad for judging it because she does a 10 times better job than I could ever do though!!

Award show viewership has been on the decline for a long time. Forgive me while I sound very old. Back when it was only 3 networks and 1 television per household when I was a small child in the 70's I know we only watched an award show if it was the only thing on. The Grammy's was the one we would watch unless my Mom deemed the music "too loud". Mainstream music for the most part was still fairly tame it's not like the Grammy's had Led Zepplin, Alice Cooper or KISS on. The Oscar's were a total snooze fest with hideous performances that were usually a "dance interpretation" of a movie plot. I'm not sure if I've ever watched a full show from start to finish.

I quit watching the award shows when they started making them political. Not everyone shares the same views, especially here in US, so it made them not fun anymore. The jokes weren’t funny. It was cringy to watch and they lost my interest. We watch tv and movies and listen to music to escape. Not have stuff shoved down our throats that we may or may not agree with. I only watch clips now of the people/artists I want to see. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything if I don’t watch the full shows. Watching all the audience clips of Taylor that people post on instagram has honestly been the best part. 😂

as an american, i feel like corny isn’t the right word, but award shows just kinda feel silly and cringe. but for some stars i feel like they lean into it. kinda like prom night. it’s corny and silly, but still a part of like “american culture” and i love when they celebrate all the artists, but i do think that award shows in the past were a source of a a lot of pressure for pop stars (at least for music awards) to create something good, and it’s hard to create good meaningful art under pressure. so i feel like now that everyone knows how cringe it is, theres somehow less pressure, like not who cares, but more so if you don’t end up winning, i feel like it’s less of a big deal now :))))

I happen to be a Kansas city Chiefs fan, an American football team Travis Kelce is part of! He’s a lot of fun, a big party guy - a true himbo I’d say! He mentioned on his podcast that he wanted to meet Taylor before her KC show but she wouldn’t see him (he took it all in good fun), so they might’ve just met up to say hi or something. I love both but I really don’t think they make any sense together 😂

One time I watched the VMAs while extremely high on an edible and I was so darked out by the entire spectacle. I was like wait what is this? And who am I? And why do I watch this? It's definitely not what it used to be

American here. No, the award shows feel ick now. I literally only watch when I know Taylor will be there to kick ass. And it’s painful but I can’t miss Her.
Brittany DeLara
2023-09-16 01:13:33 +0000 UTC
Yes, us in the US feel the same as you do about these award shows. I haven’t watched in ages I only watch if I know Taylor will be there. This one was so much fun to watch. I loved it.

I also think that jumpsuit outfit is my least favorite VMAs look mostly because I am mildly traumatized by it. This is what she wore to the 2015 VMAs and that was the year she presented the Vanguard Award to Kanye. And seeing her be so kind to him knowing that in a year, he completely betrayed her trust and stabbed her in the back makes me feel sick.

As someone who went to the Sour tour, I have to agree with you about Olivia's stage presence. While the concert was good, it wasn't that memorable IMO (and also very short) and she didn't strike me as the best performer. I felt like nothing super interesting was happening, just her singing the songs and running back and forth on the stage.
Petranka
2023-09-15 18:11:44 +0000 UTC
You know the VMAs are broken when a camera operator gets dedicated exclusively to Taylor - and she gets shown and shown, because so much of the time nothing else is going on. It’s criminal to have NSYNC come on and talk. Just talk. Thank you Taylor for enlivening the evening but c’mon.

Sarah

Cruel Summer was the 4th Midnights single basically. Obviously it's a Lover song but it served the purpose of keeping the momentum of Taylor in general going & very easily could've got to #1 if they'd pushed it a little harder.

2023-09-15 11:45:59 +0000 UTC
I am not american but swedish but i agree FULLY with you. It all feels cringe. But i think as you guys say, we live in a different time now. Before i think we ”bought” it. With social media i feel artist and celebrities are not that big of a deal anymore, We do not idolize being famous the same way. The line between a celeb and a ”random” person has stared to blur i believe. We are more all equals.

Re: awards shows, as an American, I have definitely noticed a shift in how awards shows are viewed, especially since the pandemic. I think many of us do not care about celebrities receiving accolades while the general population is struggling. Of course, if an artist I Iove is nominated, I'll look later on to see if they won, but I don't watch award shows anymore.

I never watch these award shows anymore. Most people I know don’t. Even as Americans. I literally only watch the VMAs because I know Taylor will show up. I still watch the Grammys but the smaller award shows are so corny and over the top. The edgier comics and hosts apparently will get slapped in the face for making less corny jokes it seems 💀

I also thought it was giving End Game MV (her hair especially reminded me of her hair when she is sitting on the chair in the video). So maybe for the VMAs, she wanted to tease Rep, so she tried to do hints towards the Rep MVs?
Aloha Record Sargent
2023-09-15 03:06:52 +0000 UTC
as someone whos from the US i have to agree that award shows now are so weird. i really only watch is taylor or someone else i stan is there LMFAO. when i was younger i used to scream at the tv when one direction would win out of excitement so i think thats why i still watch now? for the joy that i feel when someone i stan (mostly taylor, rightfully so) wins their award. to be fair, if taylor was attending any sort of event that i didnt care for at all i would still watch for some crumbs of content. didnt we all watch a football game for that silly little midnights trailer??
camryn
2023-09-15 02:28:00 +0000 UTC
Thank you for taking the time to react to the VMAs. I haven't watched them in years, but the dedicated TS camera made for some amazing footage. Her basketball shot choreography during Demi Lovato's performance and how she sang along to Shakira were my favorite moments topped only by her NSYNC reaction. Travis Kelce is one of the best American football players - his team won the Super Bowl last year. He got attention from Taylor's team because he tried to go backstage before one of her concerts at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. He plays for Kansas City and is worshipped by their fans, and just assumed that he would be allowed backstage to meet Taylor. He was quickly shut down by her team and got teased unmercifully about it by his brother during their podcast the next week.

I heard somebody say something about award shows which made a lot of sense - Back in the era of Britney and Christina etc, we only got glimpses at celebrities in music videos, stage performances and at award shows. In the 90s and early 2000s paparazzi culture wasn't as crazy (it really kicked off in the mid 2000s) and then with social media we have even more access to celebs but on their terms and in a way that feels more familiar than ever before and so as bonny said, awards shows feel manufactured and we're losing interest. Also, awards shows are really long and there's no point in watching just to see your favourite artist lose when you could just wait and check out the speeches on YouTube or TikTok later, that option also wasn't available back in the day
Liam Mcfarlane
2023-09-15 01:01:10 +0000 UTC
Those were two different performances - IDSB was during the Rep Era and I think it was one of very few live performances she did for Rep. Artist of the Decade was during Lover Era after her albums were sold and Scooter/Scott were trying to stop her using her old songs, eventually they gave up and so she started the performance with The Man in the white shirt with all of the album names on and then I think it was Love Story, IKYWT, Blank Space, Shake It Off and then lastly she did Lover at the piano with the album names on ☺️

As an American, the "magic" of the awards shows has defintely worn off. I feel like most people don't even watch them anymore. We all watch highlights. I used to plan my weekends around the Oscars, the Grammys, the VMAs...even Nick's People Choice Awards. They just aren't fun anymore, its all people just promoting their own agendas and its so ovbious. The preformances can be good, but you can get that all later if you want to.

The problem with Taylor Swift is that she forces other song writers to write better lyrics, compose better melodies, and create a deeper connection with their fans through the music they write. When they can't do this, their inability to write better songs become apparent. Instead of thinking outside the box to be more creative, they chose to spend their time and energy criticizing Taylor, who, has zero expectations of them.

The shift is definitely felt by Americans too😂 I feel like artists don’t feel validated by their award system anymore, they have the fans and social media and other ways that make their music and art feel validated so no one really cares about the awards they win and what critics have to say. Although, the VMAs being fan voted, I feel means more to someone like Taylor, who obviously so deeply cares what her fans think of her. But yes, the vibes of award shows are definitely not the same as they once were.

I agree with the award shows! I find it very awkward watching them these days, I typically just watch highlights the day afterwards. I cringe at every award show 😬

Oh my god, thank you for sharing such an amazing reaction, I watched the VMAs live and to watch you two fathom Taylor on my 2nd time watching makes everything so much better. She was just so funny and definitely the artist of the night, my eyes were always on her every chance I got. Absolutely stunning dress, such reputation vibes, her breaking her ring lol😂. Also, I just love the support, her getting up for literally EVERYONE, even telling people to stand and applaud at times, this just shows how amazing of a human being she is, like not many people really do that for people, she makes everything worth it.🥰
And I agree, when I watch award shows I only watch if Taylor is there, if she isn't then I'm not watching, I just wait to see her or see when her categories are coming up, the rest of the time I don't really care to watch, it's so longggg even with the amount of ads they put in and also with the inconsistency with the 'coming up next' and those artists appear an hour later in the show, just strange in my opinion, and I'd just like to say the only other dedicated fandom out there that is that dedicated towards their artists is ARMY (the fandom of BTS) which I'm also apart of, if you ever go and peek at BTS' wins you'll see they sweep award show wins and majorly in Korea where they're from. I think you saw that for song of the summer, the guy (Jungkook) from BTS won with 'Seven' which was against 'Karma', ARMY can get extreme when it comes to voting, especially when it's fan voted. At award shows and on red carpets, ARMY constantly screams and chants their name, just thought I'd let you know that if you wanted to know if there was any other fandom out there that was just as dedicated to their artists like Swifties also are to Taylor.✨
But, yes for her to win video of the year again, like, when she won it last year and then announced Midnights, I just bawled my eyes out. And again, thank youuuuu, I really loved this video and yes more people neeedddd to fathom Taylor, she is a true blessing and it's sad outsiders don't see that, they are soooo missing out.🧚🏻♀️ oh and what a queen to nearly sweep, truly deserved every award she received, Royalty deserves all the crowns👑

This American agrees with your take on award shows! They have definitely lost their sparkle over the last several years. Watching the Oscars and Grammys as a kid was always such a big occasion, but now it seems like hardly anyone pays attention. And the organizations giving the awards have definitely lost credibility because they’ve consistently failed to recognize performers of color.

cringe americans topic: I HAVE FELT THIS FOR SO LONG and i just went to New York and the commercials... ewww. and even when i was in school we once saw election campaigns... I find those americans so strange. like almost aliens. cause of their behavior. its straight up creepy for me. im Scandinavian and we do not have that kind of excitement that I find soooo fake and creepy. like almost matrix vibe. don't know how to describe. but I find politicians campaigns they've spent 100.000 of dollars on and shows, commercials really frightening. I hope our world will have less social media and picture perfect needs and become real. sorry this was long but I am very passionated abt this topic apparently

oh! side note - I meant to write something about this in a previous video but this just reminded me! you two have mentioned hopes of potential 1989 promo in October but yeah there's a writer's strike happening so there are no talk shows or SNL for her to go on for the time being.

Just on a note for Olivia, I absolutely agree - but seeing her on the SOUR tour, I do think she's in her element when she's in a more intimate setting! I think she'll grow into being more comfortable at award shows, especially after people destroyed her for all her performances during SOUR.

i agree that this performance wasn't anything too special from olivia, but both of the songs performed kind of follow the same set / visuals from their music videos (more so 'vampire' than 'get him back!'). just to explain the sparks during the vampire portion :)

There's a writer's strike happening so a lot of the bits and stuff they would do normally are not here tonight as a result. So they packed it full of performances. Taylor won everything, so most major artists didn't show up anyway. Did you guys get to watch the live POV/Backstage camera MTV streamed live on Youtube? They had a camera on Taylor all night long. Watching her watch the show was more entertaining than the show. (And yes, as an American, we cringe, also.) As for her stage presence even when she's not on stage... she is on stage. They had the camera stationed at her seat, to film constantly. And she is very very aware of that.
Travis Kelse is using her name for publicity. They just released a documentary on Netflix about him and his brother who plays for the Eagles. Tree shut the dating rumors down quickly.

The VMAs look you guys didn’t like is actually from the 1989 era in 2015 when she won best video for bad blood!

Only halfway through but TOTALLYYYY agree with everything you've said! re: Olivia & stage presence, as well as the award show culture & the bs of it all. Things like podcasts/YouTube/tiktok have really enabled us to see behind the curtain of it all, and 'celebrity' isn't as inherently interesting because there's so much more authentic content out there.. which makes curated events like these feel so fake & yeah, manufactured. So I think it's a global shift, including America, and if Taylor wasn't there in the audience entertaining us all, I think way less people would be watching! haha

I’m American and yes awards shows seem so pointless now. I remember growing up, though, the VMAs and just MTV in general was huge because it was pre-YouTube and pre-Social Media, so that is how you watched music videos!
Jenna Aguirre
2023-09-14 22:42:19 +0000 UTC
Loved your commentary on the cultural relevance of award shows. I think the tiktok era has shifted people to wanting more realistic content. People can sniff baloney miles away and award shows shticks just come off so weak and cringey now.
Cara M
2023-09-14 22:39:37 +0000 UTC
Honestly, wasn't a fan of Olivia's performance. I didn't like anything about it, and frankly, the dancers dressing up like the singer has been done before, and done better...

Definitely feel the shift here in America about award shows. The cringe factor is high and their ratings are all down. Hard to take. Agree the early 2000s was a better match for style.

For me, I think the awards shows are really awkward, not necessarily because of the enthusiasm or anything, but because of how much filler there is. They spread like 8 total award presentations and 8ish performances over 4+ hours and spend sooo much time on commercials, hyping future stuff, random chatting etc. Also, everyone nowadays realizes how random and arbitrary any award is. Still, I feel like they could cut it to 2 hours and it would be much more fun to watch! (Provided the performances are good and the winning artists are all attending ofc.)

The VMA's are fan voted so they tend mean more than the awards that aren't. We also watch for the performances.
