I am pretty sure Robin is Christopher Robin, you know another boy from England. I have fully absorbed the first half after a million replays. Now i am ready fully absorb this half. I already love it! Peter and Robin are so beautiful theses songs practically haunt me!

2024-09-13 03:42:30 +0000 UTCI Look In People's Windows is definitely a grower, and to me it feels part 2 of "Right Here Where You Left Me," in that she's still looking for him, and still not believing he's gone. LOVED your reactions, and loved how you got Peter! I was helping you, saying "come on, girl, it's there, come on," and just then it hit you! I was so excited! Love both sides but tend to play this one more, as I'm a ballad fanatic, and I'm in heaven with this.

2024-08-17 03:25:22 +0000 UTCHaha Caitlin pausing Peter to realize the song is about peter pan made my day! I reacted the same it was just so delightful to watch her get it.

2024-08-10 07:50:22 +0000 UTCWell that was a Ride! I felt so many things but the one recurring thought was, damn she says some beautiful things when she's sad!

2024-07-28 04:13:17 +0000 UTCMusically, How Did It End is basically Runaway by The National, which makes sense for obvious Aaronish reasons.

2024-06-21 19:13:05 +0000 UTCi have a sister named robin and she's always been big to me. so when i heard it and read it was about a child, i baaawled! never saw my sister as a kid since she's older, but this made me see her in a different light

2024-05-07 20:39:56 +0000 UTCRobin is about Aaron’s child. Also maybe Robin Williams. And of course, Christopher Robin (Tigger was a tiger that bounced on his tail like a trampoline).

2024-05-04 14:33:43 +0000 UTCCassandra is about the "call" between Kayne and Taylor from what I've read

2024-05-04 02:46:40 +0000 UTCPeter: the woman who turns out the light. Is that so you can’t see in the window? I look in people’s windows I love this whole album. All 31 songs.

2024-05-03 03:49:11 +0000 UTCyou know what i really want you to do again? do an updated ranking all of taylor's songs. ON YOUR WALL AGAIN. it's seriously one of my favorite video of yours!

2024-05-01 01:09:59 +0000 UTCThe intro though was also me with this album. After I listened to the first part, I had to sit with it for a minute before I even listened to the anthology tracks, and once I listened to them, I was absolutely getting folklore vibes on this set of tracks and I was all for it. Her vocals on this set of tracks though are SO pretty 😍 Also I agree with your thoughts on The Manuscript. This is why so many of us are fans of her. She wrote these songs about things that either were about real-life events she experienced or that fictional characters she created had experienced and we are able to apply to scenarios in our own lives. The ending lyric being "the story isn't mine anymore" is the absolute perfect way to end this entire album. She's shared her stories with us for years and we've been able to adopt them into our own lives. She literally has written the soundtrack to so many people's lives, saying the things we've probably all thought or wanted to say. Like this is why she's so good at what she does.

2024-04-29 22:08:56 +0000 UTCCould u do some more horrors? There’s so much more to react to
Jamie
2024-04-29 19:06:00 +0000 UTCRobin being about Aaron Dessner's son absolutely gutted me
Destiny Murtaugh
2024-04-29 18:22:43 +0000 UTCIn "the black good," she is the old habit! She is screaming, and that gasp at the end is her D-Y-I-N-G! She dies at the end of the song... It's also another reference to his multiple addictions. This woman is a genius.
Lady Q
2024-04-29 16:13:37 +0000 UTCEveryone is saying that the manuscript is essentially referring to the story of All Too Well. Which makes so much sense but also hits even harder which I did not think that was possible
Renee Parker
2024-04-29 03:04:22 +0000 UTCThe backing vocals on The Manuscript sound like cardigan I think.
Adam Riehl
2024-04-29 00:20:05 +0000 UTCMan.. one day you stumble upon a Paranormal Activity reaction from someone who enjoys found footage as much as you for once. The next day one of your fav FB players is dating THE pop star. The next-next day you've had that pop star's album on repeat for over a week and is now screaming "The Starting Line" references from Taylor Swift watching that horror reactor. Usually enjoyed Taylor when a song hit my ear growing up, but stoked to finally be fully on board. Better late than never I guess haha. This album is great from start to finish.

2024-04-28 23:10:20 +0000 UTCyou getting chocolate after listening to I Hate It Here is such a MOOD girl. You are definitely not the only one that that song hit. It hits me every time. This second half of the album is just insanely gone. One after another after another. As always, loving watching your reaction! 💜
Jackie
2024-04-28 22:47:48 +0000 UTCSo in “I Hate It Here” Taylor sings about retreating into her mind and creating stories, etc … is this the genesis of “Folklore” and “Evermore” ?
Gordon Werner
2024-04-28 22:47:42 +0000 UTCI do prefer this half of the album to the first. I love almost every single song on this second half, where the first half I really like them, but not to the level of The Anthology songs. Her writing and storytelling on this half was just perfect. 👏🏼💯
Renee
2024-04-28 21:26:57 +0000 UTCYour reaction to that ending is such a mood Caitlin. She left us on “this is what it was all for. And it’s no longer mine, it’s yours now.” She’s let the past go, and now they are stories we can relate to our lives and heal from if necessary. This is really her most personal album, and I love her being brave enough to share all this with and for us. 🤍
Renee
2024-04-28 21:24:54 +0000 UTCThe first time I saw Peter once the second half of the album dropped I immediately thought of Peter Pan and Wendy, and then second thought it and said no it’s gotta be about something else. But Taylor really gave us a whole Peter & Wendy song and it’s my 3rd favorite of the whole album. I immediately fell in love with it on first listen. Also really love I Look In People’s Windows which I did not see coming from the titles, but it’s one of my top favorites and I love it more and more each listen. So High School and imgonnagetyouback are my bops on this half of the album, along with The Bolter which has my favorite lyric “as she was leaving, it felt like breathing..”, and the The Manuscript I love so much, even with the heartbreaking lyrics. I love the ties back to All Too Well that it has. 🤍 And you were so right about I Hate It Here being for the readers. That’s my top favorite of this half of the album. As someone who retreats into fictional worlds as much as I do into music that song just gets me so well, and I love it to pieces.
Renee
2024-04-28 21:21:34 +0000 UTCThe Robin reference was so perfect cause I was actually playing Stardew while watching this 😂😂 Thanks for always taking us along on your Swiftie journey 🫶🏻

2024-04-28 20:58:57 +0000 UTCIs it petty of me to hope North posts tiktoks with this song?😅 cause we know how unhinged North is
Alexia
2024-04-28 20:29:02 +0000 UTCI love how shook we were over Andrea🤣
Alexia
2024-04-28 20:26:05 +0000 UTCOkok hear me out… I look in people’s window is from Peter Pan’s perspective and Peter being Wendy’s perspective in the movies Peter would watch Wendy tell her siblings stories of Peter and he would listen to her too looking in from the window on the outside looking in!
Eduardo Zamora
2024-04-28 20:16:38 +0000 UTCThe fact that The Manuscript is literally the story of All Too Well (10 min version) is so mind-blowing to me. How she describes the actual relationship that the original All Too Well was based on to what the fans turned that song into for her to the making of ATW10 and the short film—it’s all so beautiful and just shows the power of all her songs, albums, and songwriting 😭🤍

2024-04-28 20:12:14 +0000 UTCLetters TS and TK are highlighted in the High School lyric video on her youtube.
SnowyWinter
2024-04-28 20:06:11 +0000 UTCPeter Pan from Wendy’s perspective. 😍 Genius says that Aaron has a child named Robin.
Cheryl B.
2024-04-28 20:01:31 +0000 UTCI think The Manuscript is about Jake. it has so many references to All too well and its movie if you look closer at it. and generally, the manuscript can be seen as a metaphor of her whole discography and she closes all chapters as in previous albums and her relationships she had in those. she finally finds some closure and can move on without any ties (except Travis). also, Robin is said to be the son of Aaron Dessner :) just imagine when you grow up and you get to have a song written for you by Taylor. edit: what I just came across.. Peter is written in 3/4 time, as is a viennese waltz typically .. Lover is also written in 3/4 time 🫠

2024-04-28 19:39:36 +0000 UTCTaylor apparently wrote Robin about Aaron's son :)
Santana Xavier
2024-04-28 19:13:44 +0000 UTCThe Bolter is basically Aaron's Blank Space. The "when she was 6" refers to reputation and how the media viewed her before that and the car one evening in the chorus is a reference to getaway car :)
Santana Xavier
2024-04-28 19:05:04 +0000 UTCI played Wendy by Maisie then Peter this morning and that HURT 😭

2024-04-28 18:05:21 +0000 UTCGlad to see another Peter fan! Also as Maisie fan (thanks for introducing her to me), I'm loving we have a Wendy and a Peter song that are almost eerily similar
Robbie Corrie
2024-04-28 18:01:39 +0000 UTCThe pure shock I felt when read the title of Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus was like: "Wait why I MY name in there??? What have I done to deserve this?" AND THEN you had to use my name in the rhymey song too Caitlin!

Rania
2024-04-28 17:44:10 +0000 UTCIf you think about it “How Did It End”? Is a track 5 given the fact that it’s on its own album if that makes sense because it’s a double album.
Hunter Summerhays
2024-04-28 17:42:57 +0000 UTCYay happy Sunday! I was just about to go out but I am afraid I have to cancel those plans to watch this. So excited to see reaction to my favs, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus; How Did It End; and Peter! ❤️
Nick H
2024-04-28 17:42:56 +0000 UTCHere we go! I'm so excited! I listened to the Anthology only once so far (the moment it came out) and haven't gone back yet cause I needed and wanted time to enjoy the first half of the album. So I decided my second listen was going to be with you Caitlin when you uploaded this video, so here we go!

2024-04-28 17:40:47 +0000 UTC“The Prophecy” and Cassandra” are some of my favorites … and “The Manuscript” — what can I say that would do that song justice.

Starr Jauregui
2024-04-28 17:32:57 +0000 UTCI mean this with no hyperbole— I probably wouldn’t have been the fan I am today without seeing the impact it had on you! I understood and appreciate the writing when she showed me, but to see how someone random felt the lyrics really made me enjoy it even more
Chase Breedlove
2024-04-28 17:31:48 +0000 UTCFor real— she got me into taylor with FOLKLORE OF ALL ALBUMS. So, naturally.. I ran to find all the reaction videos. Yours came up first and gave me an entirely different perspective on that album and her music in general, now.. 6 months later I have 3 lyric tattoos and got to experience my first album release with YOU!! thank you so so so much for being you, Cait!
