REACTION - Anti Hero Music Video !!! First Watch
Added 2022-11-04 06:21:53 +0000 UTC
ICONIC MUSIC VIDEO BY DR SWIFT DUH
You should really consider making this public...you two can really explain, describe, give insight like no OTHER! And I think MANY people misinterpret this video so they desperately need your fathomings!!!

Recent joiner here. Watching this again after the break up wioth reports Joe was put-off by her fame, makes Taylor and Problem's first interaction hit different.

coming back to type this and i don’t know if anyone has thought about it but when she says “at tea time everybody agrees” my mind immediately went that post Kendal Jenner posted with her caption “tea time” back in 2016 when everyone was canceling Taylor.

Building off the comments above, I think it’s really interesting that she is bleeding purple (Speak Now). It really seems like she’s trying to tell us again (in Would’ve could’ve should’ve, Great War, etc) that her deepest, most formative traumas originated in that era. And when someone takes a shot at her, that’s the inner wound that resurfaces! Freaking John Mayer, she’s haunted!!!

Yes, that's exactly how I understood it. A combination of those factors, but especially age - and an aging career as well, when there are so many young pop stars that emerge each year with fresh sounds. So natural that she's feeling old in her 30s and releasing her 10th album.
Sam
2022-11-27 23:31:15 +0000 UTC
I agree with this. People say she was “forced to” edit it because of the backlash. Taylor Swift is not “forced to” do anything. She hasn’t made a statement about why it was edited; it’s possible that she listened to the criticism and empathized with it.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the first ghost she sees in the frame is wearing something John Mayer would wear. The cowboy hat and gloves and he just waves. It's giving "and now that I'm grown I'm scared of ghosts" am I right?

What most Swifites need to understand Taylor is making the music she wants to make. She could churn out master pop tunes every minute of every day if she wanted to. She is an artist and artist explore. She doesnt need the money, she has had every award given and global popularity. There is a great interview with Sting about how he had to move beyond just tryng to craft pop masterpieces and do the kind of music and lyrics that made him want to keep creating. Paul, Sting, Joni, Bruce,Stevie etc all some of my favorites of favorites made albums I just didnt like. I have no doubt that will happen with Taylor. Then she will release the next album and all we go fuck yeah T, Emily and Bonnie I think I have made it to my Junior year at Taylor University. Thank you for the pvt tutorials,. lol. I hope you enjoy continued success at something you both do so very well.

Think it is an easter egg at the end with the three taylors and the next re-record being speak now which links ti the speak now guitar
Rachael Wright
2022-11-05 23:13:49 +0000 UTC
Several interesting pieces of info in this video: Her son marries a woman named Kim(ba) who is wearing Taylor's clothes at Taylor's funeral (which her son doesn't really mind - Kimba rummaging through Taylor's closet after she dies is a really disrespectful thing to do); Taylor's family portrait is with her pets instead of her children; the note explaining there is no special code is signed Taylor, not Mom - possibly indicating no maternal bond between her and her children. This is such a sad story sprinkled with purple glitter and a great beat. Genius!

Midnight Rain is my favorite song and I agree I came to the same conclusion of it being about Taylor Lautner as well. Some kind of Haunted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holly Avitia
2022-11-05 14:19:26 +0000 UTC
The scene where she is smashing the guitar could be referencing her re-recordings as she's smashing the old Speak Now guitar while playing on a new one!! And also an Easter Egg for Speak Now TV!!! we love you guys <3 you have changed our vernacular forever....

The Anti-Hero video just was an affirmation of everything we already knew and cherished about Taylor...Can't wait for Bejeweled reaction and the Era's Tour!

As a massive would’ve could’ve should’ve stan I big time feel like she’s referencing “now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts” with the this video, (especially cause the ghosts seem to be dressed as previous album eras!)

Loveeee all of your videos Bonny and Emily! I have two Easter eggs I didn’t see mentioned in the videos or the comments that I just had to share! 1) THE ARCHER! She gets hit with a bow and arrowwww! Love. 2) I’ve been equating the glitter “blood” to the glitter pee in The Man video. Isn’t it the same?! Love fathoming with this group.
Melanie Kluger
2022-11-05 04:32:09 +0000 UTC
Love this - that's exactly what I fathomed while watching the very end during this reaction! I also realized that "monster" Taylor got the wine she missed out on at the dinner party at the very end from the other versions of herself. Maybe a small nod to YOYOK ;)
Sam Williams
2022-11-05 03:00:16 +0000 UTC
I want to add (because this feels like a safe space to have this important conversation that I probably have thought too much about over the last three weeks) that I don't think the backlash is necessarily ALL related to Taylor speaking her truth and people not liking that, or saying that the experience she has had with disordered eating or body image isn't valid or relatable (I understand some people have argued that and that perspective majorly, majorly sucks). Instead, many people have argued for cutting the image of the scale because, as a society (in general but especially one that in recent years has often claimed to be striving towards eliminating anti-fat bias and weight stigma to allow fat people be treated as equals among their peers, period, but has fallen very, very short of that goal), we don't need more content that explicitly links the word fat with negativity and self-loathing because that relationship is already so deeply embedded in our culture. I really, really hope that the edit was made because of Taylor agreeing with that argument, and not wanting to further perpetuate the (unintentional!) negative impact -- and that she knows that criticism is meant to be constructive and come from a place of love.
Lots of love to everyone xx

Still mad she felt forced to edit this music video rather being able to properly express HER problems that she faces.

2022-11-05 02:47:34 +0000 UTC
That's true, I agree that it can be hard to remember what you wanted to say and many things need to be said in the moment. Fair enough! I can be the same way, especially during movies, and people have gotten mad at me when I kept pausing to talk 😂. Thanks for being open to the feedback, I love you guys!
Vanessa C
2022-11-05 02:35:59 +0000 UTC
And when I say "fat" I mean it took 10+ years of self-reflection and work to say "fat" without having to work to bend my mind to where it doesn't mean something bad (I should clarify, my mother had an eating disorder). I have been fat. I have been skinny. Society makes you feel very ashamed even if you're not "Fat", it puts a lot of pressure on especially women because it's also part of being Hollywood attractive/relevant to be young and skinny. What is "Fat" anyway? Who determines that the magic number for any one person to cross the line into "fat". It's all subjective.
Rosie
2022-11-05 02:29:56 +0000 UTC
It kills me that she cut the "Fat" scene from this. I've been 90 lbs and I've been 200 lbs now, and there were times I felt FAR FATTER at 90 lbs than I ever did once I loved myself and didn't care (gained weight after losing my gallbladder). I don't have an eating disorder but I think it's more than relatable especially if you do.
Rosie
2022-11-05 02:24:03 +0000 UTC
I also feel like this is what you can think to yourself when doing something
good -- Am I doing this or sharing this because I know other will people will see and think, "oh wow she's so selfless and altruistic!!" or am I doing it because it's something I truly care a lot about and would do it regardless of other people's feedback? Tying it back into this being the mistrust we can have in our own thoughts, actions, or decision making.

The problem Taylor is VERY HOT 🥵 my thoughts indeed hahaha
omg your thoughts on the “fat” drama are our thoughts exactlyyyy! it’s literally the points in the song playing out in real life. it’s so sad and unfortunate.
The Notting Hill reference is so interesting, I didn’t think of that but now I totally see it!!
The funeral scene really is genius, you are so right about all the names, and omg the daughter in law being KIMberly.. Tea

Personally loved that you fathomed the dress right before they pointed it out 🤣 I was like, “wow they really are like Taylor encyclopedias!” .. and also just from my perspective I love that you’re pausing and taking it slow <3. Much easier to spot things that may otherwise go unnoticed. Plus it makes for longer reactions which is what I come here for ☺️.

Thanks for the feedback Vanessa, we love to hear it! I think the pausing and fathoming as we go is what makes our reactions OURS, i thought people might enjoy the fact that we preempted the dress but I can also see your point! This is what come naturally to us and I think if we watched fully and then revisited we may forget things we wanted to discuss or express in the moment. There are so many ways to approach these things and maybe we can mix it up sometimes. We value your thoughts and opinions on this so keep them coming 🫶🏼

It felt like it was more than just pausing because they really had things to say though. Like they would pause the video just so they could analyze every single thing in a scene. Not hating the analysis, I love it, but enjoy the video first! Go back and analyze after! I don't see any downsides to doing it this way. On the other hand, the downside to pausing too much is not being able to enjoy the video the way Taylor intended. The scene she wrote is HILARIOUS and it got spoiled when they read the punchlines in the will first. Taylor didn't intend for the video to be watched like this
Vanessa C
2022-11-04 20:05:24 +0000 UTC
I feel like this whole video is really representing a nightmare/dream. The funny ghosts, the glitter, her being a giant, etc., it all looks to me like a weird nightmare that you wake up from and can't make total sense of how your brain came up with the ways it portrayed your insecurities. Love your content!! Can't wait to see the bejeweled reaction!

Gonna say it, I've fallen for the 3am tracks. I'm obsessed with the videos. Midnights is my life. This video is so self depreciating and aware. I love her personalities and the funeral scene. Bejeweled is a strong follow up with like a zillion Easter eggs and a cast like You Need To Calm Down/Bad Blood. Having struggle with eating disorders, personality and mental struggles, etc. Taylor really means so much for opening in this video which is like the director's cut of the song if that makes sense.
Hunter Kuehn
2022-11-04 18:39:59 +0000 UTC
I think that the scene with her as a giant trying to hang out also draws parallels to Alice in Wonderland (could be an Easter egg for wonderland song!). Because there’s a scene where Alice is a giant in a house and of course she eats cake to grow and drinks something to shrink! There was no change in size in the video but it still made me think of wonderland!

Love it! As far as fathoming after many listens my biggest changes from an initial listen are with Midnight Rain and Bejeweled. Y'all thought Midnight Rain was about Tom Hiddleston but I think it goes back to Fearless era instead. Just the fact that she uses "rain" in it and that was the theme of Fearless puts it there for me. I've seen others say they think it's about Taylor Lautner and gives them Back To December vibes. As for Bejeweled I think that is entirely about her relationship with Big Machine and her albums. The label didn't put her first she wasn't getting the attention she felt she wanted and you can bet someone told her that she would never top her previous success when she told them she was leaving. This is her saying you best believe I still have jewels, I can still make the whole music industry stop and listen when I put out an album. I think the music video drove a lot of this home especially the ending which I won't spoil for you here.

Was happy to spot the photo of Marjorie on her bathroom wall. One of my favorite details. :) I love that while her “problem” self is definitely a bad influence on her normal self, she shows that her normal self still often has a really good time hanging out with the problem self. Makes me think about some of the things about my own personality that I know are toxic traits, yet some part of me also really enjoys those things about myself, too. Also picked up the Alice in Wonderland references in the dinner party scene.

2022-11-04 15:38:57 +0000 UTC
I looove so much watching your videos, always make me think things differently!! Like the scene where she's a giant, I thought it was more like her obvs being a tall woman lol, but also her always being "loud, taking too much space" like as a woman in society, relating it to the "sexy baby" line, that she's expected to be this perfect pretty little girl, but she's not. She's a woman and she's loud and not afraid to be, even when people still shame her for it.
But yeah, it's interesting also relating it to her fame, I forgot that part of her explanation, and it kinda makes much more sense in that scene🙈🙈 like you said, she's always gonna be Taylor Swift™️, she can't just be Taylor

I think some of the Easter eggs in this video that I noticed are: the purple inside the egg, her blood and the vomit are all pointing to speak now being next. The greedy evil daughter in law’s name is Kimber 🤣. Also the scale part of the video used to show a shot of the scale saying “fat” but she cut it out because it got negative feedback, not sure if you guys saw that.

I also think this is why the music sounds like “Only The Young”, which was the height of people saying she was a performative activist

I think at the end, it really shows us how she is accepting the other insecurities/ versions of herself, by being friends or coming to terms with them in some way <3 It really shows that you might never get rid of them, but you can learn to better understand those parts of you and grow as a person <3🥹 Superior!

I always took the lyric “Did you hear my covert narcissism I might disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman” is in reference to people saying her political statements (particularly coming out in support of gay rights) was performative activism and a way to center herself in these movements. ie her concern for the well-being of others (ie altruism) is just about herself to get publicity (narcissism).

Loved hearing from you lovely ladies this morning! Great Friday surprise ❤️
Cannot wait for the breakdowns and other music videos for sure. I'd love a new ranking video, maybe a top 10-15 of songs in general to see if any of Midnights are now on your list??

Another great reaction. For me, as an OG Taylor fan from Tim McGraw. I love your discussions because a lot of things you talk about is the say I believe and only OG fans will fathom. Hope you have a discussion about the edited scene because as an OG I thought the whole thing was rediculous with Tiktok people complaining when they don't know anything about Taylor's past and intentions. Those Tiktoker's are lowest denominator group. She was not hurting anybody else, she was talking about herself and if they bothered to watch Miss Americana they would realize that but I don't think they would though.

Asking Bonny and Emily to pause for conversation less is like asking Taylor to write simpler lyrics. Never going to happen, and I don't want it to.
MarkH
2022-11-04 09:29:42 +0000 UTC
Yes, great point here. They seem determined to give Rihanna a number one.
MarkH
2022-11-04 09:27:08 +0000 UTC
Yes, I think so. We know this has been on her mind for a long time (Nothing New, and the Miss Americana "tolerate my success" scene), so it makes sense.
MarkH
2022-11-04 09:26:17 +0000 UTC
Exactly, I agree. Bonny and Em reacted to the "modified" video and fully understood the message of that scene, proving that the word "fat" on the scale wasn't necessary in first place.
I'm a fat woman and I use that word with pride, because there's nothing wrong with me, it's just a caractheristic such as been tall or short or thin or blonde or brunette, but for society it's still a negative word. Plus, eating disorders are so much more than being fat, (wether you are actually fat or not), equals bad. Controlling the weight is only the top of the iceberg.
I didn't find that scene using that word specially fatphobic, but being such a big and influent artist, Taylor needs to make a positive impact and linking the word "fat" to negativity has been proven not only to not have a positive outcome, but also wasn't necessary at all to understand what she's trying to communicate.

important to note that the koi fish guitar is the guitar she used to play dear john every night— destroying it could tie back to WCS and her trying to not let him haunt her anymore

This was great! I really enjoy how relaxed you are in this video. It led to a great conversation!
This music video is a masterpiece! So creative, so funny, and yet so painful. One thing I got from the look of her blood is that she is kind of saying she is a human glitter gel pen, because the blood looks like glitter gel pen ink to me--and of course it is giving the midnight sky as well.
Let me also say, hoping this is a safe space, that "the problem" Taylor is actually very hot! This might be a screwed-up male perspective, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.
I am actually kind of heartbroken that she removed the word "fat" from the scale. She expressed her truth and some people didn't like it, so she repressed herself and pulled back. It is like a horribly ironic real-life demonstration of the song itself.
The epic scene of the dinner is giving me "Notting Hill" vibes, from the scene where Julia Roberts goes to Hugh Grant's sister's birthday party. Not the same perspective or anything, but the vibes are sort of like that.
The funeral scene is fantastic and everything about it is so clever. "Growing Up Swift" is a perfect title for her son's book, and "Life Comes At You Swiftly" is in fact a great name for a podcast! Wonder if someone will use it? And Preston is the perfect name for the snooty older son and Chad is perfect for the ne'er do well younger one. Please don't actually name your sons that, Taylor!
And I love the giant "fame Taylor" (or maybe Tayzilla!) at the end.

So one of the Easter Eggs are the ghosts - they're each wearing something from Taylor's past, like the heart sunglasses or a cowboy hat.

I am the same age as Taylor and I instantly thought when she says monster on the hill I thought about my insecurities about my age. Not being in my 20s anymore. the hill is a common term for aging. Like when you hit 40 you’re over the hill. Taylor mentioned in her recent interview with Jimmy Fallon she’s a “geriatric pop star” and I feel like that could means she’s feeling older too so while monster on the hill and sexy babies can mean her fame, height, and other things I wonder if it meant age too?

That's good to know! Maybe it's just me. Although for me, I feel like thats what breakdown videos are for. Reactions have their place and I enjoy them for their "reactions." It was disappointing that they ended up spoiling the funny scene for themselves by pausing and analyzing too much. I think a great balance would be reacting first and then discussing in depth after.

funny how you talked about the influence of tiktok in charts now and no longer the radio, and then Billboard decided just recently to base the charts on radioplays, conveniently when rihanna’s lift me up is freefalling in all streaming platforms but has high number of radioplay. hmmm
Arne Cabigas
2022-11-04 07:52:58 +0000 UTC
Hmmm, I didn't notice any excessive pausing; I was enthralled the whole time. I've seen the music video a million times already, so I guess for reactions I'm really just looking for insights that I hadn't fathomed on my own. And that's what I felt I received here! That's my 2 cents anyway.

I'm a bit ambivalent about the "fat" clip being cut. While I agree with Julia and Nora about it exploring her insecurities, which should be celebrated, I also understand that some may have a problem with the word fat having a negative connotation. Like seeing "fat" on a scale and Taylor being disappointed by that word, suggests that it is bad to be fat. I think Taylor wanted to communicate that she has insecurities with how she sees her body, which can be distinguished from having a problem with larger bodies.

Normally I like hearing your guys commentary and thoughts, but I feel like this was paused way too much. It makes the reaction not as enjoyable to watch because its being paused for 3 minutes every 5 seconds. And by doing it this way, it's unfortunate that you guys spoiled all the punch lines of the funny scene for yourselves by pausing and reading the will first, looking up the dress, etc. Personally, I would prefer if the video were just watched all the way through and then scenes were revisited and discussed in depth after. I usually never skip through your guys videos, but I found myself doing that when the discussions mid-video were going on for awhile and I wanted to get back to the reaction. I still enjoy the content though so thanks for making it!! Just some feedback.
Vanessa C
2022-11-04 07:27:32 +0000 UTC
It's quite disappointing that the "fat" scale scene was edited out. It's her own experience and she wasn't trying to offend anyone. It is such a relatable scene that many people can relate to. If the internet calls her fat and pregnant when she was a normal and healthy body weight, how could she possibly not internalize that? It was a really vulnerable scene and I feel so bad that she got negative criticism and decided to take it down. Knowing her struggles that she shared in the Miss Americana documentary, it is heartbreaking.
