Lauryn I know I am late to this, but please watch her live tours. She is so much better live. Journey to Fearless is a documentary/tour combined. Her Speak Now tour is fantastic. There are two versions. The original and EAS remastered it, but the remastered does not have her songs in the order she sang them originally. The 1989 tour is also so so good.

This live of Castles Crumbling will give you what you were missing from the album listen. Everything is better live, so many of Taylor's specifically are another level when done acoustically. But this one, we as fans have been waiting since the release for her to perform it and figured it would happen this leg of tour while Paramore was her opener.
It also shows a sweet insight to the closeness of their friendship which elevates the singer/songwriter relationship they have as well. 🫶🏼

Your reaction to the Story of Us is your official induction to the Swiftie Army. That's how we roll girl!! 🙌🏻🤪 Love it lol!!

I'm so tickled at how much you loved Story Of Us! hehe. It was such a jam for me in 2010, but clearly I need to give her some love again after 14 years.

Ahh! I had to come back on here because I watched this the day is uploaded and I remember you wishing Haley's vocals had more of a belt for their collab. (Same). WELL she just did Castle's Crumbling as a surprise song with Haley and we definitely got some higher notes in there. It was really beautiful, you'll have to check it out!!

also check out the videos of Long Live on the Eras tour. A great tribute to her fans and her band.

2024-06-20 03:52:22 +0000 UTC
Besides the deadly lyrics, my favorite part of Dear John is the way the guitar style perfectly mimics John Mayer's sound. PLEASE check out the video Taylor's live performance of this song in Sydney on her Speak Now tour.

the funny thing about dear john is it actually ISNT 100% a name callout. a "dear john letter" is letters wives sent to their husband's in the military breaking up with them.

2024-06-14 03:27:43 +0000 UTC
It has not been confirmed, but a lot of people speculate that "When Emma Falls in Love" was written about Emma Stone.
Also, in case you haven't realized or accepted it yet, I think you're officially a Swiftie. 😂

2024-06-14 03:05:56 +0000 UTC
Long Live, the Swiftie Anthem, and forever my favorite Speak Now song. This is the song most likely to make me cry when I see videos of her performing it live. 🫶🏼❤️
Amy Beavis
2024-06-14 02:56:21 +0000 UTC

I am an OG fan and I love all her albums and eras over the past 18 years. I love them in different ways, for different reasons. I have my songs I like and relate to more now at 40, but even being 6 years older than her, I still in felt like I was going through similar eras of my own as her albums came out, so there is nostalgia with all of them. Her music and lyrics have matured and evolved with every album. yes, the first few albums were more juvenile in themes, but she was a teenager and early 20's, so it tracks. I don't think her last several albums are "made for little girls" the way so many people like to say, usually because they haven't ever actually listened to her albums.
Amy Beavis
2024-06-14 00:45:14 +0000 UTC
omg YES i love your opinion on debut i absolutely LOVE this album and it NEEDS more respect

Lauryn
2024-06-10 23:27:31 +0000 UTC
Loved seeing how much you enjoyed this! what a great album. Our favorites songs from this one don't quite line up (and I gasped when you called "never grow up" cute--it's such a stab-to-the-heart crying song for me), but love that you found new faves
the vault songs across all are tricky for the timeline--they often have a more current production, but the core of the songs still usually sound like the original eras. these vault songs feel SO speak now to me in structure/theme/lyrics
(and I agree on debut--an excellent album! It will be big fun for debut to get more attention soon)
Trudy Becker
2024-06-10 23:08:29 +0000 UTC
ah love to see someone else with fearless as their #1 Taylor song! It's been my favorite since it came out and I don't think anything will surpass it at this point. Loved it too long.
Trudy Becker
2024-06-10 23:00:24 +0000 UTC
Also I think that’s why they’re vault tracks because she wrote them and knew they wouldn’t fit on the album so they didn’t make the cut. That’s what I always thought anyway , I could be wrong
Alexia 🫶🏻
2024-06-10 22:16:36 +0000 UTC
The live performance from her Speak Now Tour of Haunted is so theatrical , it’s so fucking cool. Honestly most of Speak Now tour is amazing. Especially her dear John performance

I was a Speak Now girlie for Back to December (and the other songs, but man BTD was amazing) for the longest time. Still love Speak Now, but I’m such a huge fan of her new stuff from Folklore to now as well.

Darsy Smith
2024-06-10 12:51:24 +0000 UTC
Yes! You can SO SO tell that she was prepping Debut TV while writing TTPD. I feel like Speak Now is getting the resurgence she deserves with all this, heh.

I’m on a walk when The Story of Us comes on. Smiling turns to giggling turns to full on stopped on the sidewalk cackling.
Several eye rolls and
“excuse me”s later from passers by and I start moving again. That was AMAZING. The end.

Amanda Moy
2024-06-10 10:19:14 +0000 UTC
I feel like watching the live version of Haunted will completely change how you see that song. That live performance is the best she’s ever done, in my opinion. Even including the Eras Tour (which is great all the way through but doesn’t have anything that made me leap out of my chair). (…context: I am disabled/use a cane. Leaping out of my chair is not something that happens often.)
If you want to know what to react to NEXT… Jeeze. I’m not even sure. I want to hear somebody appreciate baby Taylor, though. Nobody appreciates her country music these days. 😭
Morgan Bauman
2024-06-10 07:00:25 +0000 UTC
I'm glad you're listening to Taylors Versions, but I would LOVE to have you react to the OGs of some of these at some point... Maybe have people vote on a certain number for you to listen to

Joined patreon for this. And you are already SO right about Debut. Nobody appreciates Debut like they should. 😭 Imagine writing “The Outside” at 12 years old. I tried songwriting at that age, and I tell you what, I did NOT write anything like that.
Are you gonna listen to any of the unreleased debut songs she used to sing live?

Love her track 1’s. Her closers are amazing too. It’s good if you can listen knowing where the original album finished before deluxe tracks. I have separate playlists of track 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and closers. Long Live is the closer for SN, Begin Again (Red), Clean (1989) etc etc
Cara M
2024-06-09 22:39:26 +0000 UTC
In the original better revenge instead of “he was a moth to the flame she was holding the matches” it was “she’s better known for the things she does on the mattress”

2024-06-09 21:44:56 +0000 UTC
She has a follow up track to Dear John on Midnights called Would've Could've Should've. She was 32 when she wrote it...the same age Mayer was when he dated a nineTEEN year old.
It's pretty clear that he groomed her, took something of her, ghosted her, and then left her with PTSD that I think she only started dealing with in 2022 properly.
He does deserve jail time.

That's so funny to me that you think haunted sounds like a fighting song cuz to me it sounds like a spooky Halloween night (it's also my fav on the album just love the ghostly vibes)
Francesca White
2024-06-09 18:41:06 +0000 UTC
Got a little too faded last night and am just finishing the Speak Now reaction….. Let me just say 🤌👏🙇🏼♀️ I felt it when you got teary eyed that the album was almost over. It was the realization that, yeah- I can go listen to this album again, but I will never hear it for the first time again 🥹🥹 That’s why we’re all here!!! I absolutely LOVE watching people discover Taylor’s music! It’s the closest I will ever get to experiencing it for the first time again 🫶 Now, on to 1989🩵🩵🩵

I definitely agree! I enjoy the context however amongst her other album openers it just doesn’t live up for me. Lover has definitely grown on me a lot over the years and I’ve come to appreciate it much more but I agree it is ranked fairly low for me compared to the rest of her albums

2024-06-09 17:18:42 +0000 UTC

I forgot that you existed is a bit of a miss if you don’t think of it in context of her leaving behind Reputation Era and moving into Lover, forgetting that all those people that hurt her and fueled rep, existed. Lover has some of the best songs of her discography but overall as an album is ranked pretty low for me.
Mandi
2024-06-09 17:13:56 +0000 UTC

Long Live from the Eras Tour is 🤌🏼 I was disappointed that she’d added that to the set list after the show I saw her at.
I can’t wait to watch your reaction to that whole tour! It’s incredible. Also reputation tour and 1989 tour are good too.

2024-06-09 16:03:48 +0000 UTC
Ours is very clearly a love song but to me it’s a sad song because she wrote this song about her and John Mayer and it gives you insight how she felt during their relationship, and there’s lyrics that directly call back to lyrics in Dear John
“It seems like there’s always someone who disapproves, they’ll judge it like they know about me and you” (Ours)
“How I ignored when they said run as fast. As. You. Can” (Dear John)
“And I love the riddles that you speak” (Ours)
“And I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules everyday” (Dear John)
“Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight” (Dear John)

Maria Julya
2024-06-09 15:13:28 +0000 UTC
in the original version of better than revenge the lyrics was "she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress" instead of "he was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches" 😅😂
Maria Julya
2024-06-09 15:04:15 +0000 UTC
I was screaming this album at 16 when it came out and it is still my favourite. I think it is classic 2010 nostalgia for me! But honestly taylors album are all about your current mood!
You should really do the speak now tour! It shows the songs in original form too and i’m pretty sure haunted will rise up if you see that.
Also i can see you has a music video☺️
Btw lauryn your hair is god damn stunning all the time 💜

Speak now is one of my favorite albums, the rock aspect is so good. Giggling at you hating your cussing, I cuss a lot and don’t think about it as I do it bc it just comes out in excitement but if I ever listen to a recording of me cussing I facepalm so hard and think “fuck man, you really sound like some trailer trash bitch” 🙃 but we’re not trashy bitches, Lauryn, we’re passionate and colorful 🌈

This has reignited my love for Speak Now. I’ve been so consumed with her more recent work for the past year. I kinda forgot how much this album hits.
Lilly 🌷
2024-06-09 13:26:24 +0000 UTC
I was looking to see if someone mentioned this. Dear John is kind of unhinged with the name dropping and John Mayer-esque guitar. It’s a sad song but I can’t help but laugh a bit when I hear it because I love when Taylor does stuff like that.
Lilly 🌷
2024-06-09 13:24:19 +0000 UTC
In Mean? It’s banjo and mandolin! I’m not sure Taylor has any songs with ukulele but sometimes mandolin is mistaken for ukulele. I personally hate ukulele but love mandolin haha
Lilly 🌷
2024-06-09 13:16:04 +0000 UTC
If you ever go back to watch rep tour again, long live is the song on the piano she mashed up with New Years Day that you skipped at the time!
Sarah Petty

Tbh I like sitting through it at once. Doing red in 2 parts gave me fatigue and now I don’t listen to that album ever
Lauryn
2024-06-09 12:28:40 +0000 UTC
Great reaction to Speak now. I think with these longer Taylor albums, you should definitely try and break them up a bit instead of doing it all in 1 take. More for your sake over anything, it's a lot to digest, and sitting through the entire album is like... you're only really able to absorb half of it before you start getting tired. I think it would be much more enjoyable for you that way, but that's just my suggestion. Cant wait to see your future videos!
Gianni
2024-06-09 09:39:17 +0000 UTC
for a little context:
innocent is about kanye taking the microphone from taylor at the 2009 grammys, the “ha’s” you hear in the bridge of innocent were actually sampled for the bridge of look what you made me do which is also about kanye west
Masaya Jansen
2024-06-09 08:07:33 +0000 UTC
not me blowing up the comment section LMAO but funny that specifically the two songs you mentioned it reminding you of disney involve joe jonas (better than revenge & last kiss)
joe jonas broke up with her in a 27 second phone call, which is why the intro to last kiss is 27 seconds long

Debut is lowkey underrated, really. It gets left behind a lot in people's rating but it's right below the highest tier for me. It's less focused and polished than Fearless but the writing is still amazing, super honest and relatable.
Lidia Dias

For the vault tracks they were written during the era of the original album but often never produced so that is why they can sometimes sound different than the vibe of the original album. To me it seems Taylor finds it more important to get her ideal production on the vault tracks even if sonically they might sound different than the era they were originally written for.

You really must react to all the videos and the world tour concert video.

Yes! Mine is such a good opener! And such a perfect country-pop song. NEED you to react to it on the Eras Tour, the piano version is so so beautiful.

I think the vaults are the lyrics written on piano or guitar solo but I am guessing the production is all new based on what she wants it to sound like now

I love that you love this album😭 it’s one of my favs💗 You should also watch the I Can See You music video if you have the time!! She premiered it at the eras tour the night of Speak Now TV release (luckily the show I went to) and it stars some familiar faces :)

Loved your reaction to this album! Back to December will always make me emotional. And Haunted, Story of US, and Better than Revenge are cult obsessions-- rightfully so IMO. Haunted is a deep cut and a grower, I think.
Some back story you may or may not know:
Mine is apparently fictional. The lore states she was sitting by the water with Cory Monteith, they never dated but she imagined what a whole relationship with him would look like.
Back to December references the night Kanye stole the mike at the VMAs-- Taylor and Taylor were dating at the time and he was the one who presented her with that award. The lyric is "how you held me in your arms that September night the first time you ever saw me cry." Taylor Lautner said he always regrets not defending her in the moment.
Most of this album is about John Mayer, who was VERY butthurt about Dear John and wrote "Paper Doll" retaliation. And she references Dear John again later in her discography, in Midnights.
I think she left Taylor Lautner for another chance at John Mayer, who most of this album is about. (Back to December and the line in Haunted about a new guy making her smile but her wishing it was him.)
Better than Revenge is about Joe Jonas and Camila Belle. Joe Jonas wrote "Much Better" about the triangle. The original lyric that she changed for the rerecording was: 'She's not what you think, she's actress, she's better known for things she does on the mattress."
Innocent is about Kanye West and her "forgiving" him for the VMAs. (You'll have new Septembers)
Enchanted is about a guy from Owl City who she only met once and when he heard it and wrote a response song, she never responded LOL.
You have the themes and vibe of this album down pat. I'm so impressed and excited about how much you're enjoying this ride and doing your research.
And lowkey, Evermore girlies ARE Speak Now girlies. Welcome :)

I think ours just is a reminder fee that she was 19 and still a kid. Very innocent
Amy Versprille
2024-06-09 04:17:13 +0000 UTC
Dear John’s guitar is supposed to mimic the riffs John plays (idk how familiar you are with his work). And at the time it definitely was the most scathing song she had ever written….it just recently got surpassed by a song on TTPD 😂
Also when you do Midnights, Would’ve Could’ve Shoud’ve is the sequel to Dear John

Enchanted went super viral on TikTok / YT / Insta shorts maybe 1.5-2 years ago, it's likely how you know it. It went viral right before Speak Now TV came out, so the original version was the one that got the boost in streams (a hefty one, too).

Annnnnddddddd, I’m back after Dear John and we’ve blown the mic again 😂💀💀💀😂 If you don’t react to the entire Speak Now tour, which btw IS wonderful and shows how involved and artistic and performative she has always been from day 1, and I would LOVE to watch you react to- you should DEFINITELY watch Dear John from the Soeak Now tour. The pettiness just givessssssssss in her facial expressions while performing that song. It’s 🤌🤌🤌🤌

2024-06-09 03:03:01 +0000 UTC
Sorry I’m commenting so much I just keep thinking of things 😅 but better than revenge is the only song that Taylor has changed the lyrics to in the re-recording. The moth line used to be something a little misogynistic so she changed it .

2024-06-09 03:00:32 +0000 UTC
I've been a Speak Now fan since the beginning. If you're truly interested, I am a huge fan of the original Speak Now album, and while I love the re-recording, I think most of the original tracks sounded better (also, justice for If This Was a Movie, my favorite Speak Now track which she moved to Fearless TV !!!). I would recommend you check out the original version if only for this album (off camera ofc, not like you need to react to it). You're going to LOVE Fearless.

Laurasr618
2024-06-09 02:52:53 +0000 UTC
Fun Fact: In the bridge to Back to December, when she mentions "that September night, the first time you ever saw me cry," she was referring to the '09 VMA's
Another fun fact: Speak Now (the song, specifically) was inspired by a conversation she had with Hayley Williams about her (Hayley's) childhood sweetheart/ex band mate that was getting married to another girl. They both went to the wedding too lol🤸
Jamie Fargo
2024-06-09 02:50:54 +0000 UTC
Girl u were so right about never grow up !! Your theory was correct I think she just dedicated it to someone at a concert. But it’s also really funny that you said Joey King because she’s in The “I can see you” video and the “mean” video.

Paused reaction just to add I love her debut album. I am so excited to get the re-recorded TV version. Debut is so impressive when you remember that those songs were written by her from the ages 12-15.
KyraB
2024-06-09 02:22:16 +0000 UTC
So the track 5 thing started because fans noticed that every track 5 was like a super vulnerable/deep/hurt song. And Taylor realized this and started doing it intentionally beginning with Reputation. She had confirmed that track 5 is what she considers to be her most “vulnerable” track on the album.
