SURPRISE! While we wait for Taylor to put this OFFENSIVE song on streaming we thought we would give it to you guys in the meantime!! The remixes of YOYOK and Sweet Nothing will be included when this goes on youtube. Enjoy!! 🫶🏼

HITS DIFFERENT REACTION - ft Couch Friends

Comments

I've been having a real moment with Hits Different and I came back to watch this for the first time. I love the reactions SO much. So appropriate for this superior song.

Mike Roach

Refathoming this might be about Matty? Lol

Elaine :)

“I find the artifacts, cried over a hat Cursed the space that I needed I trace the evidence, make it make some sense Why the wound is still bleedin'” thinking about tortured poets again 🤔

Can

stan the couch friends!1!

Georgi Varavko

Back for a register after YLM…

Can

“is that your key in the door? is it okay? is it you? or have they come to take me away?” ……. as in have they come to take her away to start the tour!!!!! it all makes so much more sense to me now. my brain is exploding

Emma H

i’m here again after watching your “you’re losing me” reaction and YALL … the summer and sun/sand line IS DEFINITELY A REFERENCE TO CRUEL SUMMER LIKE😭😭😭 i’m so so so unwell

Emma H

waiting patiently for the re-fathoming on the new version

Adriane Fernandes

I totally agree, Natalie! I actually came here to say what’s really hitting different is relistening to this song after the break up news. It kinda feels like a breakup song and how it hits different this time cause it’s Joe. Am I spiralling?

Luli Diaz

Yes, now that the rumors seem to be true I hear these lyrics differently. Like maybe it was already happening when she wrote this or at least heading that way. Kind of changes how I listen to Midnights now.

BrooklynSwifty

Or maybe now that she's looking back from this new situation she sees how easy those were in comparison to this one

Petra

You are so right

Petra

this song hits different now

Natalie Lyddane

I am new to Patreon and watching all the videos i couldn't watch back then and i really neeeeed Hits Different on Spotify it's not even funny anymore it's one of my favorites but i am an international swiftie so i can't get the target version unfortunately.

Sina

That makes sense looking at it from her career perspective 👍

BrooklynSwifty

when shes talking about that in labyrinth she means bouncing back like in her career and in life in general after all the hate and stuff, but when she says it in this songs songs referencing just her old partners and how she could easily move on to them

Amyisaswiftie13

In HITS DIFFERENT, Taylor sings “movin’ on was always easy for me to do.” In LABYRINTH, she sings “you know how much I hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back,” implying that moving on is NOT easy for her to do. Just wondering what to make of this. Any ideas?

BrooklynSwifty

Watching this for the 5th or 6th time at least... never gets old.

Literally Natalie

Taylor, Jack, Aaron= The Magnificent Trilogy ❤️

Celina Sharp

This song gonna top all charts, our queen is probs waiting for the illegal Midnights album to shine, then just when everyone thinks it's over, boom. Also the vibes as discussed are very early 2000s, maybe she'll release it around the same time she announces an album re-release from that time!

matty67106

i fng love this song. its taylor at her pop best. i may have to go just buy the target version.

Mark Barnwell

I love how this is the first time I heard this song! I can’t wait to listen to it on repeat when they put it on Spotify!

✨Kailee✨

It's 100% a cruel summer sister about Joe for me!!

Anna Wiechhusen

NOOOO THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON MIDNIGHTS CJJSUAJD I just listened to it cs i was waiting for it to be on streaming HOW DARE SHE KEEP THIS FROM US

Catalina Borreani

was jamming and freaking out alongside you on this one :D

Rinika Angelon

well, ok, but I was 20 in the 90s. funny how it's "so millenial" cos they were teens (if that). the 90s is when I became an adult, went clubbing and started having loves and loss and life. so hellloooo, us GenX existed.

Gee Vee

I've heard this song on YT a few times. loved it immediately

Gee Vee

I am so happy seeing this review, I don’t know why it isn’t on streaming services. I love this song

Adam Moore

Missed the coach comments so much !

EricLeCuriste

YOYOK 😂

Mal

i love you both so much - no one in my life is as big a swiftie as me so it’s so nice to feel that freak out for new music with ya’ll!!!

V Babida

Hits Different is also giving such 90s, Third Eye Blind, vibes, it was truly for the millennials :)

Alison

Lots of pics from her and Tom on the coast when she visited his parents

thesaltysorbet

The guitar reminds me of Only Want to be With You by Hootie and the Blowfish!

thesaltysorbet

no way. my top 2!!!!

madison martin

i cant wait to hear this Song in Spotify, in Germany er can't listen to it😭

Eva S

ahhh i completely agree, we are getting so much more context from this album for all other songs, it's actually so offensive.

Chats & Reacts

definitely, but I think maybe more than just one fight, like a general rough patch and her triggers coming up through the relationship x

Chats & Reacts

HAHAhahah I think she might be a YOYOK or sweet nothing girle

Chats & Reacts

soooo so superior AH

Chats & Reacts

wow Joe thank you thats a lot of a compliment! haha

Chats & Reacts

absolutely ugh perfection

Chats & Reacts

Aw the sweetest 🥹 thank you so much for being Ashton and making these videos possible! Look forward to seeing you on discord 🫶🏼

Chats & Reacts

layers and layers and layers, Soooooo fun

Chats & Reacts

Brae* yaaaayyy love them

Chats & Reacts

immediately needs to be on streaming I am DYING !

Chats & Reacts

hehe yay so happy you liked it 🫶🏼

Chats & Reacts

I first listened to this song a couple of weeks ago. haven't listened to it since… haha i’m obsessed now again! Love u girls, from chile! 🇨🇱

Sebastian

My car has a CD player I am going to go buy this right now! I need to hear this song again!!

Daniela Cabezas

Watching your reactions and talking through it gives me a new perspective of this song! I wasn't sure how I felt about it on my first few listens!!

Melissa Dovidio

Wow, I really fathomed this song with you!! This is why I love watching you both so much 😀

November Flush (Sam)

I love that “frightful adam” has been a reoccurring phrase

Ryan Thompson

Yay! Thank you! I couldn't justify buying a CD player to then buy this CD, as I am currently saving every morsel of money I have to try to afford tour tickets. I've been dying waiting for her to put it on streaming!

Laura R

Yay I love couch friends!!! Love the two of you but I missed their midnight reactions too!

Corinne Urban

Thanks for feeding us, I've had trouble getting into it cause not being on YouTube it's inconvenient to listen to on CD, that said, you always make me respect Taylor's penmanship. And her Universe is superior to Marvel. Your patchwork is astonishing. Love you guys and I can't wait for your bridge reaction, but I had to comment this lolz

Hunter Kuehn

to quote Emily that was a jack RANTanoff bridge

tasneem

also the “i am ILL”

Juliana Martinez

ever since i saw y’all’s comment on taylor’s tik tok saying you thought this song was the AUGUST of midnights, i’ve been WAITINGGGG for this video!!!!

Emma H

I hope it will be the tour closer. couse it will hit different this time being together in a stadium screaming ALL eras together

Katharina

In High Infidelity she says “lock broken, SLUR SPOKEN” kinda reminds me of the lyric in Hits Different

Jenny Murcia

Over here in Canada listening to it from someone’s TikTok until she drops it 😂

Raven Patzner

What if the sand and sun hurt her cause this is during the CRUEL SUMMER?!?! Edit: you guys connected it! It’s gotta be that…

Hannah Rothausen

You guys... I haven't heard this song yet, so this is going to be EPIC! Hold my hand!!!!

Elis Llinares

This song also links back to Joe in Glitch when she says "I was supposed to sweat you out" because she could do it with the others ones but not with him (that's why it hits different :O) AND the line "cat and mouse for a month, or 2 or 3" in Paper Rings that never clicked for me BUT NOT IT DOESS

Andrea

Skip town like an asshole outlaw…COWBOY LIKE ME

blake

I know right she looks like a cute chic artist!!

Zosia Dabrowski

I’m so excited for when she tours in the US… it’ll be summertime and perfect timing for this to be my favorite summer song and maybe she’ll put it on Spotify by then!!!

Miriam Hart

I wonder if she didn’t include in on the proper album because she thought “hits different” is too on the nose or current of a phrase… I could see if some of the criticisms of lover was that it was at times too cheesy and maybe she didn’t think hits different matched the energy of midnights… just speculation and I like lover but I could see how the reaction to lover might have influenced that decision

Miriam Hart

This is the only midnights song with the iconic belt into the last chorus. Pure magic!!

Shannon Gilhooly

This was such a great way to start my day!! I love this song so much and am DEVASTATED that it’s not on the album and won’t be a single! The sand hurts my feelings? So good. It really reminds me of all those 2000s movies - like it could have been in the credits of any Amanda Byrnes or Hilary Duff movie. Also - deeply unrelated but if you guys ever release merch, I’d absolutely wear a tank that said Iconic & offensive & illegal & superior

Nicole Hunt

Love to the couch friends!

David B

Thanks for feeding us so well with Midnights reactions. You girls are the best of the best!

Cecilia Sparke

It's such a good song!! Love the connection you made between Cruel Summer and and the sun/sand lyrics, I'm pretty sure it's about Joe too. Some lines from Delicate also tie into what she's saying here about jealousy / Joe with other girls: 'Do the girls back home touch you like I do / Stay here honey I don't wanna share'.

Cecilia Sparke

omg your excitement is so contagious; this made my morning! and AMAZING bridge so many melodies!!

Monica Gaura

I cannot tell you how offensive it is to wake up and know there's a new Chats & Reacts episode! I love being a patron of you lovely ladies!!! I LOVE how ATW10 gave more context to the other songs on the album, and I feel like every single on midnights gives more context and deeper feels for many of her past songs. They hit differently now! Brilliant woman.

Rissy (Taylor's Version)

When you guys found out this was Taylor, Jack and Aron...I Scream with youuuuuuuu! Soooo Offensive! Amazing reaction...this really hits different

joana

Why is nobody talking about the lyric from All Too Well 10 Minute Version "we were always skipping town"?! I immediately thought about it when I heard "skip town like an asshole outlaw"! And it makes me think that this song is about Jake...

Daria Gołaś

WELCOME BACK COUCH GIRLS WE MISSED YALL

Samawi A

ICONIC SUPERIOR REACTION

Samawi A

I love this song so much and I LOVE that jack and aaron have both worked on this.. you can hear the influences from both of them. The guitar and whole production is absolutely offensive and your reaction to finding this out was the best thing ever. This reaction truly hits different.. I loved this song when I first heard it but you guys have made me fathom the lyrics in a completely new way! There are so many references to Joe songs that I did not pick up on but tie in so well with their story

Julia

the fact that one of the couch friends connected antithetical to contrarian ("contrarian shit") - illegal

Nin

When you can’t sleep at 3am, feeding foster kittens, and then you find a new Em & Bonny video….made my day!

Layla4124

What's the opposite of an allergic reaction because Emily is having that

Nin

Hits Different is just deeply illegal, I still can't cope

Nin

I never thought of this song being about Joe but it makes so much sense - this is why I love your reactions so much!!! Easily my top pick from the whole album. Illegal.

Rose Ellen

two seconds in and Em is already dead

Nin

fuck yesss Couch Friends are back, we missed you!!

Nin

This reaction really hits different 🙏

Derek Paris Frantz

This was so much fun! Thank you for giving this to us early! I was thinking while watching this "oh my God, this is Taylor Swift, the ultimate sincere awkward anti-cool girl, suddenly becoming incredibly cool". Because this song is just cool! It is like Naomi said above, it is giving Sheryl Crow vibes at the peak of her coolness. If you listen superficially without really grasping the lyrics, it is easy to imagine this as a top radio hit you scream along to as you drive along in the summer with the windows rolled down. Some movie is definitely going to want this for a soundtrack! It feels to me like it is easy to miss the lyrics because the music is so overwhelming, but of course they are just as great, and I love the discussion where you are trying to figure it out (not to mention the iconic moment when you looked to see who worked on it--that is a top tier Chats and Reacts bit). I completely agree with you that this is about Joe. And the bridge! It is going to take a while for me to fully get that. I really really hope this song gets some serious attention and does not become a forgotten masterpiece.

MarkH

This is New Romantics all over again, how dare she not put a superior song on the main album! Jail for this illegality!

Liam Mcfarlane

How can a British girlie get her hands on this song legitimately?? It’s too offensive to not listen to but I don’t want to listen to fake streaming versions!

Zoe

just my favourite people reacting to my favourite song 🫶🏻💕✨

mieke

This made my Friday morning! Thank you! Also, i see you've taken a page out of Taylor's book with the "surprise" caption 😏🫶

Laila Duffy

The moment you both realized that its the three of them in this song, soooooo GOOD!! And LOVE the return of the couch friends!! I thought Ducky wasn't there until I used headphones and can finally hear her! LOVE you guys!!

ParkJeon Ai

They pinned the link to discord in here somewhere bestie...

ParkJeon Ai

Does this song remind anyone else of Soak Up the Sun by Sheryl crow? I dunno it’s just giving a similar vibe to me. Offensive!!!

Naomi Stern

Couch friends add even more offensive commentary! Loved this reaction!

Juicy Dragon

I adore this song. It’s just so GOOD.

Brandi Brock

"Hits Different" has some Don Henley "Heart of The Matter" or Bryan Adams melody similarities which I'm living for! These remixes are just a mirrorball of moods...all for those Willow Elvira moments 👑👏🔥

Derick Mitchell Matthews

24 minutes on one song, that's why we are on Patreon!!! (Love the return of the couch friends)

Courtney D

“Rip the band-aid off and skip town like an asshole outlaw” immediately gives me Cowboy Like Me vibes.

Lindsay

The melody reminds me of Hootie and the Blowfish's 'I Only Want To Be With You.'

Toni Elia

The “other girls in love” line reminds me of “do the girls back home touch you like I do”. I love that she is showing all of the different sides of a grown, balanced and committed relationship. There are invisible string and archer and sweet nothing AND hits different moments. UGH I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Clara

Definitely theorizing that this is a Joe song! What if Hits Different, Afterglow, and The Great War are all about the same fight / breakup (and then they got back together of course)

Marissa Royer

10/10 appreciate you drip feeding us this content 😘

Amanda Mittelman

that song is sooo offensive. It was great having the couch friends. I love you all so much!

Dswiftie

threw me off at first that you guys had to look the other direction for the couch friends

Aubrey McMichael

this is super random, but what would you guys suspect would be Aris favorite midnights track lol

madison martin

Um can we talk about Emily’s illegal shirt!? It’s so cute!!!

Lauren Levitt

The take me away line leading into the chorus is what I live for.

Bryan 🇲🇽🇺🇸

I think the asshole outlaw lyric could tie into cowboy like me. Cowboys are sometimes considered outlaws. 🤭🤭

Emma K

This is absolutely incredible thank you for making my night!!

Hannah Rose

how do I join

tasneem

This was the Target only single? It's so good! It sounds like a pop/country crossover hit. Well...sadly the political climate in the States is such that it's unlikely Taylor will ever hit a Country chart again.

Clash Fan

Taylor gives us new remixes every day, Bonny & Emily give us new videos. Love ya Taylor but I'll take Bon & Em's videos over the remixes. 😂

Joe Weaver

Hi Ashton...we're happy to have you on the Discord whenever you are ready to join us. It's so much fun, especially when something happens & you get to freak out about it with a few hundred others at the same time!

Joe Weaver

You're videos just make me so happy!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Patricia Hatzfeld

i think this song sheds light on what “the great war” is about too. i love how she ties things together so nicely!

Abbey Baldwin

someone actually put it on Spotify as a podcast episode but its the full song its like hits different Thomas Jefferson presidency or something like that

tasneem

Hi Emily and Bonny :) Are you guys going to try and make it to a US show and if so which one 🥰 Or are you waiting for international dates?

Moonlit Nomad

i just wanna say thank you bonnie and emily for making this content for us and creating this community of the internet. i havent had a chance to talk on the discord yet but i appreciate you two for what yall do! I don't have swiftie friends of my own and i get so excited when i get the email that yall have uploaded to patreon. i was just cheering to my kitten, "we have a new chats and reacts video dude!!" - love, a millennial swiftie from texas

Ashton M

There is so much to say about this song!! I'm still trying to fathom everything she's said, it's fascinatinggg.

Mareena Francis

Loving all of this content so much besties! This song is soooo superior and I wish it was on Spotify!

Lizzie Lou

Yay! So excited for this and so happy for couch friends 😻

Jenna Aguirre

Couch friends: Kara, Ducky, & Bre!

Ally ❤️

this song is actually SO superior and i am shook that weeks later it’s still not on streaming services 😭 who gave her the RIGHT “rip the band-aid off and skip town like an asshole outlaw” EXCUSE ME

Shannon Reeves

Yes!!!

Ally ❤️

THIS IS THE MOST ILLEGAL THING YOU HAVE DONE FOR US!!!! I’m soooOOoo happy rn!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

kienan

OMG FINALLY! Queenssss

Jennifer
