THE TORTURED POET'S DEPARTMENT by Taylor Swift - First Listen

My darlings 🤍, hope you're all doing well. In this video, I'm listening to the standard version of TTPD, and I will be posting the edited version on youtube later today, so please don't post this video or full song on any other platforms. THE ANTHOLOGY has been recorded and will be posted on Patreon tomorrow. Thank you so much for being here and for your support.

THE TORTURED POET'S DEPARTMENT by Taylor Swift - First Listen

Comments

This album is a grower for sure! I wrote down all my first listen opinions on the songs and revisited months later and was shocked how much my opinion changed on them

Alexia

yesss

Omg YES

I can do it with a broken heart is basically her telling she is doing her Easter with a broken heart she was hurting but didn’t let it show she focused on the shows she was putting on

Mark Fisher

Ajay, it's been a couple of months and I wonder what is your opinion on your favorites So Long, London and loml now? Did they withstand the test of time? I would love it if you did a Patreon exclusive revisit of TTPD + the Anthology!

Berk Bilal

GIRLL TTPD IS A GREAT SONG HOW COULD U SAY THAT😭 I think u should give it a few more listens. Great video btw, I'm new on pattern and I'm loving this experience <333

Dauntless Manifesto by Cupcakke

niharikaa khokhar

So Long London is The song on the album for me, and already one of my all time favorites of hers. Feel similar to you, how it was the first song where she really FELT what she was saying. Lyrics, production, structure, vocal delivery are all so perfect. Deserved to be on a better album ☕️ Loving your latest reactions and hope you’re having a great week AJay 💕

You said “what happened to them?” During so long London and I immediately started singing “how did it end?” 😂❤️

Sarah

Yeah…we were a little off on what this album was gonna be about 😂

Sarah

what time stamp does she say she's the songwriter of this generation

Nicholas James

the Florence diss!!!!! noooo

Silkina

Lmao 😂 She went from “Stop telling her to date” to “Taylor, sometimes parents see things we don’t. If everybody is saying it, you should pay attention…” and back to “mind your business!” in less than a minute 🤣 I love how honest she is. When I watch her reactions, I feel like I’m listening to it with a friend and we’re making comments, lol. She’s the best 😊

Katilyn

Also, this is YOUR video. If you want to listen to a song two times back to back then do it. I did it with both “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” and “Down Bad.” If people don’t like it, they can fast forward through it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I get what you’re saying about how the cursing can kind of lower the quality of songwriting, especially Taylor’s, but for some reason I love it in “Down Bad.” You should listen to the clean version because it actually takes on a different meaning. She changes the lyrics to “What if I can’t have him?” and “What if I can’t have us?” I found that interesting.

Katilyn

There is no such thing as a “wrong opinion”.

Julian Lopez

I’m screaming at her saying “and he fucked your summer”

Ivan Ramirez

I completely agree with you about “Fortnight” sounding sonically like it should be further down the tracklist. It sounds nice, but I could see “The Tortured Poets Department” more as the intro. However, I think Taylor made “Fortnight” the intro as a false sense of what we expected the album to sound like and then she just tossed us into this crazy, but amazing mix of songs. Lol.

Katilyn

it’s about Matt Healy. We didn’t know. We thought it was gonna be about Joe, but it’s not. SORRY AJay WE DIDN’T KNOW 😂😂🫣🫣🩶🩶🩶

Yeah! Definitely you got to listen it more times, I think this album were made for us fans so that is why most of the people can't understand. My favorite so far are: So Long, London, Down Bad, MBOBHFT, Fortnight, WAOLOM, LOML, ICDIWABH, TSMWEL AND CLARA BOW. But I like so much all of the 16 songs, thsi is the best album ever made in 20m years.

Lợi Trần Mãnh

I prefer The Anthology to the first half! Cant wait for you’re reaction

Tucker

Can’t wait for part 222222 THE ANTHOLOGY reaction!!!

Heavy Lau

Definitely! I would say though that evermore captures a mix of red/fearless, midnights a mix of 1989/speak now and ttpd a mix of debut/reputation. So the album that comes before a set of rerecordings is guided/inspired by them.

Pete

Ahhhh when is part two coming? I’m actually really excited as if you liked folklore you will like part 2

Hi ajay, I loved this reaction, the but daddy I love him line had me shook also. If you can, could you please react to The Hardest Part by Noah Cyrus 🫶🏻🩷

dylan

Is this you implying reputation is bad??? Where is the taste 😭 (only kidding I know everyone has different music preferences)

Camryn

Not us giving you false information when you asked for context bc Taylor pulled one over on all of us 💀💀

Emily

When you said who’s afraid sounds like younger taylor: you’re exactly right! as listeners we have to keep in mind that she’s revisiting all of her old albums right now, and she is def re-recording reputation currently (or already finished) so she’s deriving a lot of emotion from those times. Same as with midnights kinda revisiting some of speak now/RED on WCS and YOYOK.

Zac Ruffolo

Her relationship with Matty was anything but short. They have been on and off for a decade!

Camryn

My first listen I truly didn’t get it. It typically takes me a second listen to get into ANY song.

Camryn

I took this line literally. She has a whole song about matty being a rebound.

Camryn

Totally. Upon first listen, I wasn’t just slightly disappointed, I actually felt kind of numb to the whole album. Nothing particularly stood out to me and nothing emotionally resonated in a particularly deep way. …After a couple of revisits, I now can feel some of these songs *in my bones*. It’s definitely one of her absolute best and the definition of a grower.

Daniel S.

It’s a *great* album, but as long as Evermore exists, it can never be her best. 😉

Daniel S.

It’s definitely a grower. Even as a long term fan, I was under whelmed at first listen.

Pc_ Cathy

This album didn’t really land for me, unfortunately. I’ve listened to it a handful of times and still, the emotions don’t click for me. As someone who is a huge folklore and evermore enjoyer, something about this album just made me feel like I was listening to some unedited diary entries over some synth pop beats. A few of the songs grew on me, like guilty as sin and some of the anthology tracks. But I don’t find myself wanting to play any of the album in my spare time. Maybe I expected more from an album called what this is called, but some of lyrics seem a little juvenile and vapid. Especially for a songwriter of her caliber. Or maybe I’m just being over critical. I can be self aware enough to know that my opinion of her has been a bit clouded since her tryst with the racist guy (the rebound most of the album is about) but I’d also like to think I know how to be objective. But something about her being mad at everyone for being against the relationship with a VERY problematic person rubs me in all the wrong ways. Anyway, now I’m just rambling. But I hope you have a better time with the anthology! I did. And thank you for taking the time to make these reviews. I’ve only now recently joined the Patreon but I’ve always been a fan of your stuff on YouTube. Thank you again, I know it takes time to do all of this! :)

Michaela

Miracle move-on drug was Matty btw, the drug being a rebound

Zac Ruffolo

I also think that you should read the poem she wrote that sums up the themes of the album: 'At this hearing I stand before my fellow members of the Tortured Poets Department With a summary of my findings A debrief, a detailed rewinding For the purpose of warning For the sake of reminding As you might all unfortunately recall I had been struck with a case of a restricted humanity Which explains my plea here today of temporary insanity You see, the pendulum swings Oh, the chaos it brings Leads the caged beast to do the most curious things Lovers spend years denying what’s ill fated Resentment rotting away galaxies we created Stars placed and glued meticulously by hand next to the ceiling fan Tried wishing on comets Tried dimming the shine Tried to orbit his planet Some stars never align And in one conversation, I tore down the whole sky Spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues Then a crash from the skylight Bursting through Something old, someone hallowed, who told me he could be brand new And so I was out of the oven And into the microwave Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave How gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower Swinging a sword he could barely lift But loneliness struck at that fateful hour Low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips He never even scratched the surface of me None of them did “In summation, it was not a love affair!” I screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk It was a mutual manic phase It was self harm It was house and then cardiac arrest A smirk creeps onto this poet’s face Because it’s the worst men that I write best And so I enter into evidence My tarnished coat of arms My muses, acquired like bruises My talismans and charms The tick, tick, tick of love bombs My veins of pitch black ink All’s fair in love and poetry Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department'

Sofia Moose

Ajay. You should be aware that social media trolls falsely claimed that you refused to post this reaction because the album was so bad and that you didn’t like any song & you didn’t want to upset the Swifties. Of course this is nonsense, but thought you should know what is happening. Lots of people then jumped on it and reposted it, PopBase reposed it, people were talking about it in another discord how you couldn’t pick one song. So it’s now viral. So you should know internet trolls have wrongfully included you to try to take down Taylor.

Starbuck1234!

Thanks for making me appreciate some of the songs. Honestly, i listened 3 times this album, but i'm completely lost with its length, it tires me literally. Can't wait to appreciate more of the songs on the Part II. But giirl, still way too long, even though i really like albums lasting like an hour or something, but after 25 songs, i'm like "no more energy". stop it please :)

Yohan Jannuzzi

I have been doing the same 😭❤️ I’m so sure she will love her!!!

David Miguel Cunha Pereira

Plssss. I’ve been commenting Kelela’s album Raven for like a year. 😭 This is the first time I’ve seen someone else comment her. 😪

Ajay on the first song: This is the only time I'm gonna start over from the beginning. Ajay on the two next songs: let's start again hahahaha. Love it

Agueda Rodríguez-Volta Corrochano

After a few listens this is fr becoming one of my fave albums. It’s suchhh a Crazy grower 😭

Ash Jamil

There are plenty of songs from other artists that I didn’t like on first listen but ending up hearing again and liked it the more I listened. First impressions aren’t everything, people change, perspectives change. Imagine never giving anything a second chance, wow.

Kammy

This album really does grow on you. Waiting for your revisit some time, Ajay!

Pierre

Please listen to Kelela 🤗❤️

David Miguel Cunha Pereira

It’s ok if you don’t like her, of course, but your comment makes me believe that you don’t understand it. And that’s ok,

Starbuck1234!

well... she was dating a racist.

Adnan Azmi

chorus*

veronica1313

basically it’s about her fans that were dragging her everywhere for dating matty healy and it’s a f u for these people who did, the last choirs is about her current relationship but everything before is about back then, some people even made a petition for her to drop his ass

veronica1313

she has a chance with so high school

Francis B

No bc I had the same reaction to so long London everyone says it’s not a good track 5 but they need to relisten

Megan

I genuinely love how you said you weren’t going to restart any more songs after the first one and proceeded to restart the very next song 🤣 same

Kaitlyn

Everyone assumed it was about Joe and commented before the album was released. We hadn't heard it yet and knew nothing about it so that's why they said that.

teegan

We were all bamboozeled by the album not really being about the long relationship 😩

Cecelia Slade

Your reaction to so long london already iconic

Giovanni

After the Anthology it would be amazing you do a reaction to the eras tour film please

Arturo Days

HAHAHAH you got it right! ❤️ The Alchemy is about her current football boo thang Travis Kelcey 🤣🤣 And alot of the angrier songs such as: Smallest Man who ever alived, and I can fix him (no really I can) are about Matt healy, the lead singer of 1975, and Taylor's short lived intense fling. While the super sad heartbroken ones such as Loml and So Long London are about her long term boo Joe 😭 Can't wait for part 2!!

Ali Roman

This album is not just a grower but it’s also something to analyze and study, it’s hard to process… IM SO EXCITED FOR THE ANTHOLOGY REACTION

Arturo Days

The title track grew on me so much you should listen to it a lot more

Evan Papier

I’m surprised you didn’t like guilty as sin 😭 that song is about her m*sturbating to that man while she’s still in a relationship with London boy, like it’s a horny af song HAHAHAHHAH. ITS SO DIRTY!!!! I was hoping you’d like the freakiness of it

Jacky Chen

i’m sorry but for the people telling her to “listen to more than once to get it” is something else.. idk to me it means that you’re forcing yourself to like the song you’re not clicked with 🙂‍↕️

Pisang

My first reaction was similar. This album grows so much after each listen.

This album is a grower. You'll need to give it time to digest and soak in what she's trying to say. This is the best album she ever released, she needed to make this album.

Sobrenombre

It took me three listens straight through to really appreciate this album. Each time, I heard new things and grew to love some songs I had originally been lukewarm about. The first two songs have really grown on me. My favorite song seems to be whichever I’m hearing at the time. They are all different, but they are funny, sad, angry. Love it

Oh your face when you realise the happiest songs are also devastating 😢

Lesetoiles

We already know he’s trash; there’s no need for me to acknowledge a man I never cared about. The guilty are primarily at fault but there still exists the concept of guilty by association. She fully deserves criticism for doing so.

Derek

In Down Bad, she curses a lot because as she said she’s so heartbroken that “everything comes out teenage petulance.” Petulance = bad tempered or childish, so the cussing is actually a well thought-out part of the song IMO.

K V

Please react to the eras tour film!!!!!!!

Brandi Molini

Oh Ajay they did you dirty!! This album has many layers several layers at least. They did not tell you, and at bare minimum. Most of the breakup songs are about her very short romance with Matty Healy. Front man of the 1979 which is important and relevant given the sonic elements of this record. Also, one of the Swifties did a deep dive on this particular song Fortnite and discovered a lot of parallels with Sylvia Plath and her relationship, which makes a lot of the lyrics make more sense. I think you would really enjoy the music video for this because it helps make sense of the song lyrically.

Lesetoiles

your added vocals in the alchemy... HEAVEN

I believe in one of the earlier replies, she said she's planning to react to it after these ttpd reactions within the next two weeks.

PJ Araña

TS punked us!! She gave us Joe references before the album dropped and then used them for songs about Matty Healy which is more of a dis to Joe and there is only maybe 3 songs about Joe.

JoAnn Burrage

Eren Yılmaz

Nothing to do with the music but Ajay you look amazing! Your skin is glowing!!!!

Nephil

I love this! I had that feeling as well when I listened to folklore the first time but gradually, I fell in love with it! Taylor really knows what she's doing.

Jerico Rivera

I hear you, despite that I love this album personally. This is even better than Midnights, in my opinion but like they said, to each their own. But I agree that she should take a break because I'm genuinely concerned about her health lol. But kidding aside, I also agree that she needs to collaborate with the other producers as well. As much as I love her new sound, I kinda miss her creating bangers. But whatever she does, I'm still here for it. I hope you'd still give a chance on TTPD. This album may not be for everyone but if we give it a proper time to listen, guaranteed that it will grow on us. I initially didn't like folklore but I loved it eventually. Like she says, it's like she puts narcotics on her songs that's why we still sing along. But that's just me. 😄

Jerico Rivera

This is by far the worst album Taylor released since reputation. There are some shining moments here and there but other albums are better imo.

Luigi Kawakami da Cruz

I’ve been waiting for this reaction with bated breath 😭 I always feel like I never fully know how I feel about something until you react to it!

Drew Taylor

The album has only two producers: Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner Jack is with her since 1989, and he has been responsible for A LOT of her good pop works, especially reputation, that you liked so much. But his producing can get tiring sometimes. He is the main producer of the first part of the album and Aaron is of the second one, and let me tell you, you will notice an overwhelming difference between them. Aaron came during folklore/evermore era and brought the best of Taylor, lyrically and producing speaking. She has found her place with him. As I could notice you really liked Aaron’s productions on this first part, so you will probably love the second part. He is amazing, and him and Taylor are magical together, we are so happy to have him on her side. 🤍

Heloisa

I hope she will. If a lot of people would request, she'll notice it someday. This might sound selfish, but I don't care if it's going to be extra expensive when she'll do it. She's still worth watching anyway. And I am absolutely sure that she'll enjoy it! 🤍

Jerico Rivera

I have been waiting for this reaction especially since you're one of the most huge music reactors I've ever known! Thank you so much, Ajay for loving this album! Honestly, I was scared about your reaction to this since this has gotten so much not good reviews despite the chart-topping records it got. This even divides between the OG Swifties and the ones who just started to love her during The Eras Tour (which btw I hope you'd watch even though this channel is mainly for music reactions but... anything's possible so I hope that someday you'd consider it). They've been expecting some songs here that sound like "Cruel Summer", or "Blank Space", or "Wildest Dreams", like the mainstream-type of songs. But knowing Taylor, she always wants to break out from her comfort zone. Personally, on my initial listen, I immediately loved it as a whole. It's even a lot better than Midnights for me! And of course, the more I listen to it, the more I'm loving it deeply because there's actually so much to admire despite the critiques saying that the production doesn't do much, maybe because of the impression that she worked with the same producer, Jack Antonoff, who's mainly the producer of Midnights and her other past albums basically since 1989. What I love about this album is her new style of writing which she chose to be more bold and fierce, like not holding anything back about what she says. She was MAD AT EVERYONE for questioning her decisions about dating Matty Healy from the band "The 1975" (though he's awesome as an artist), especially us FANS and I gotta say, WE DESERVE IT. 😂 Like the other people who already listened to this album, it's not going to be appreciated on the initial listen which is why it's so understandable that you only loved the 50% of it as of now. But if you listen to it more and more, especially when you love to deep dive, it's going to be absolutely amazing. A revisit someday, perhaps? Though I understand if you wouldn't since 31 songs is not a joke LOL. My favorites off this album so far are Down Bad, But Daddy I Love Him, Guilty As Sin, Who's Afraid of Little Old Me, loml, and I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. I would still listen to this album without any skips because I love the other songs, though I have top-tiers. Hence, the ones mentioned. I'm so excited for The Anthology reaction and with that... I'm going to put my favorites there as well. As always, thank you for feeding us, Queen! WE LOVE YOU!!! 🤍🤍🤍 PS, I hope it's really possible for you to react to The Eras Tour (particularly the Taylor's Version on Disney+). 🙏

Jerico Rivera

girl made 31 songs about a lot of different subjects and ur talking about her being uninspired damn

Heloisa

I know a lot of people said this already but given how much you loved So Long London you NEED to listen to You’re Losing Me as well they are like an act 1 and act 2 they compliment each other so well!

Ebonyeora

this song has one of her best lyrics and construction… it took me one week but now it is driving me insane what she did there

Heloisa

It was a year and a half gap. Midnights came out in October 2022. That’s 18 months so exactly 1.5 years. So it’s not that long considering some artist wait 3+ years before releasing albums. But I think even 2 years would be a good break.

Stevrev59

Ajay this is album is mainly about her ex boyfriend Matty Healy from the band The 1975, they dated last year and have a long history together of over 10 years

Marisa

I think maybe the re-recordings give us the feeling that she’s been doing too much lately but midnights was out in 2022, so she had a 2 year “break” between two new albums

Heloisa

Anyway, I love these two albums! Thank you for the reaction video!

ShannonCalzini

And the lyrics are not always literal. She expresses emotions, thoughts, ideas, using literacy devices! Like figures of speech.

ShannonCalzini

yall did ajay wrong lol this isn't a breakup album, if anything it's a rebound album

Kero

Miracle move on drug= rebound? Or just new love perhaps, right after the previous one had ended. ?

ShannonCalzini

Yess two videos in two day😍

Sultan

As a massive fan for Taylor, I've listened to the album so many times, and it just doesn't click for me. It's definitely my least favorite album from her. There's a few strong tracks on here, but the rest I find boring, bland and forgettable. That being said, I'm a fan of The Anthology tracks. The Black Dog is easily the best track on the album entire, and a career highlight for me.

Collin Vinish

I can di it with a broken hearts feels very sad if you know she is touring and she literally refers to it (the crowd was chanting more) like everyone thought she was happy while she was just doing her job to give us great shows but actually wanted to cry all time

Matteo Cantarella

3:04

PolarSwirlTV

I do not think so 😭

Michaela

Guilty As Sin literally is about her fantasizing and touching herself

Mark

Subscribed to this channel just for the reaction. Hi Aj, love you!!

Rodrigo Jr Ricafort

Jesus everyone is so negative in these comments!

Robert Owens

So I re-listened to the 1st half before listening to the Anthology, and honestly the 2nd listen was better than the first. Actually this is all Ive listened to all week and I love it even more. The Anthology is probably my favorite part of the album though. Can't wait to hear that!

Catherine Flinchum

It’s the fact that you don’t even know what you are talking about. She was with Matty from 2015-2017 the. Rekindled after Joe

Robert Owens

That’s not true. Her relationship with Marty lasted for a year or two Wayyy before Joe. Then they rekindled the flame after Joe

Robert Owens

GUTS! SPILLED

Alexander

Omg u should listen to the songs on genius if you're already. They have all the lyrics and annotations that give us the meaning of them!!!

Alden Sen

I hate it here is superior song

Starbuck1234!

Lyrically this is a superior album but I”d probably vote for CC before I think ES.

Starbuck1234!

Please react to CHAPPELL ROAN's debut album The Rise and Fall of the Midwest Princess, pleaseeee 🥺🥺

Vrent Edgar John Cordova

The eras tour reaction too please it’s on Disney+🫶

Ksenia

Please keep in mind she is a billionaire but so are other musicians who have jets and who use it more than she does. he said some controversial things and it went viral, yes, they were disgusting. No one wanted her with him, that’s true. But no one really cared about his comments because he is performative and does say shock / awe things consistently throughout his career, but it wasn’t until he dated her that anyone really cared. They should attack him instead of attacking a woman for the crimes committed by a man.

Starbuck1234!

Would you consider reacting to the eras tour? :)

Ju

Interesting. I find it unlike any of her previous albums. Closest thing would be Red, but it has Reputation running through it with a bit of evermore and midnights.

Starbuck1234!

so basically joe (her ex) wasn’t even the main character of this album, most of the songs of the first part of the album are about matty (fortnight, ttpd, down bad, but daddy i love him, fresh out the slammer, i can fix him) BUT the most emotional ones are about joe, obviously and basically what she is trying to say the whole time is that matty is nothing but a maniac episode she has sometimes lol (it will never work but they really like each other)

Heloisa

I love your reaction to But Daddy I Love Him! ❤️ she WAS pissed off, the story telling was so good!

Pam Paras

I hear you, I really like what Aaron did on part 2. I also think she may be done with real big pop music like those from Max Martin. Also, all her career she was told who to collaborate with until finally 1989 she chose Jack and Max but she was always reallly alone. Now, she has Jack and Aaron and these are her best friends, she is making music with people she loves and who love her. She trusts them. I don’t know, I guess I think she has found this musical family and I think that’s really important to her. Not sure I would love for her to go back to heavy Max Martin pop music. I love the production on this album. Keep in mind, if it wasn’t the sound she wanted, then it wouldn’t be so. She decides, and this is the sound she wants.

Starbuck1234!

Can you react to funk generation by Anitta next?

Adriel Silveira

Ajay the album is also about matty healy, the 1975 main singer, who she spent some time with after her break up with joe, and so with this album we found out that taylor and matty had a thing since 2014 and even if they dated other people, they always ended up getting back together. Apparently Taylor really wants to get married, and Matty kept giving her some sort of false hope about it, so thats why she talks about it a lot on this album… but they ended up finishing again bc he ghosted her

Heloisa

Daddy I Love him and Whose Afraid of Little Old Me? …. Pretty sure those are directed at the crazy fans and soap box critics.

Cait

i love this album! the only one i didn’t like was who’s afraid of little old me

Xander Mason

Ajay, please react to twenty one pilots again huhu

Genesis

can you react to hiss by megan thee stallion and big foot by nicki minaj please? they’re both diss tracks (megan’s is toward a bunch of people with a bar towards nicki and nicki’s is towards megan)

Santino

It's like Taylor Swift is inviting us on an epic literary adventure with her double album. Sure, there's been some fatigue around the format, but she's not just churning out tracks – she's crafting a saga. Each song feels like a chapter in a gripping novel, revealing layers of emotion and experience that demand a week-long immersion to fully appreciate. It's not just music; it's a journey through the corridors of her soul, and we're lucky to be along for the ride.

James dean

I just think she’s a little overexposed right now and it’s showing that people are starting to push back against her because of it. I would also like to see her try out some new collaborators or just different ones again like Max Martin.

Stevrev59

we said a lot of things about what we thought this album was going to be. taylor said “nope watch this”

Taylor F

After Midnights, this album isn’t what I wanted it to be. I was VERY underwhelmed at first, but some of the songs are growing on me. I still also think 31 songs is way too many and she should probably take a decent break from the limelight and making music for at least a good 2 years or more. Just my opinion.

Stevrev59

Ajay please react to fortnight music video❤️

Ksenia

Girl same, SO LONG LONDON and LOML + ICDWABH are the best because they are about J.

Basia Garbowska

This album for me is a grower, on my first listen I loved Fortnight, who's afraid of little old me, loml and down bad and got obsessed with so long London and guilty as sin. Now, I'm obsessed with the whole album, TTPD is the only song that I don't really vibe with

Sofia Moose

This is one of those albums where on first listen you're very meh about it. It took me a whole weekend and then even the week to really get into the album. Some songs still aren't to my tastes, but I've got a lot more songs I enjoy as opposed to first listen. I think when you initially hear it, it's like an evermore. Personally, I feel evermore is better than folklore, but it took me a bit to get into the album. This is a grower. It's prob in my top 5 of Taylor albums.

Mia

I can’t wait for part 2!!!!

Alexander

I spoke too soon, you got the story perfectly 😜

Travis Buhler

Fortnight is basically from the perspective is if she got married to someone else and became neighbors with her ex and she didn't end up as happy as she thought. Her husband was cheating, and her ex's life seems perfect with his wife watering flowers and her being jealous (wanting to kill her).

Travis Buhler

She hit the nail right on the head, the production isn’t strong enough to carry the lyrics and the vocals aren’t strong enough to carry the production so it leaves you with a great reading experience but a terrible listening one. It’s so funny how London and LOML made an impression on me too way before realizing they were Aaron songs those are so good, everything else is flatlining.

Jose Penaloza

it's an overlong narcissistic mess . Sounds like rejected B tracks .... only released because she knew BETTER female VOCALISTS will blow her away . Over to you Ms Grande !

mike boswell

100%

Jose Penaloza

The second part is way better, im sure you'll love it more

vhagar

Uninspired?? You’re having a laugh

Connor Davies

Why are you watching a 2hr reaction video to an album and artist you obviously dislike? A lot of people genuinely love this album stop trying to make everyone miserable. Go listen to something you enjoy instead 🙂🙂🙂

Jess

So happy to get your reaction AJ!!! for future reference for personal listens or a revisit down the line (not gonna use names) but for context its actually about so many things how toxic the industry is and how much pain it's caused her over her career in different ways. but its also partly about going from a 6 year dying relationship that was suffocating her despite trying to love him he just never got her or appreciated her and someone from her past comes back (they never gave it a full chance previously) he was promising her so much that she wanted in life and thought this is it but he was a POS and ghosted her after 2 weeks (fortnight) And it wrecked her deeply because because both relationships ended so close together and the 2nd half of the album is her finding a lot more perspective and healing as well as processing more but with a little hindsight. This album is a masterpiece but it can take a min to really hit ❤️

Emily Hopkins

Usually I’m all for grower albums but at 2hr runtime it is just not feasible

Andy Khoi

To be honest on my initial listen this wasn't my favorite album of hers. But it took me only three times to realize this is my second favorite album (after Evermore). This album is definately a grower. I bet that you will like The Anthology :)

Vidak Radenovic

Take a listen to the clean version of Down Bad! I think it has an even deeper effect lyrically!

Braden Tyler

Also not the irony of this comment being that stevie nicks loves Taylor dearly and Florence is on the album 💀 like yall favs love her sooooo awks 🤭

Emily Hopkins

Its literally been 2 years since she released midnights but you pop off with your wrong opinion 💀 like if you don't get it just say that lol or say nothing 🤷 her rerecords aren't new albums?! what do you want her to do have like 5 years between new albums just so you can still be weird about not liking her music even then 💀

Emily Hopkins

I highly recommend reading the prologue to this album for some extra insight into her frame of mind. It gives a little more perspective.

nikki

💙💙💙💙💙

Kevin Leon

Most anticipated review! 🤍

rajeev nuni

Thanks ajay

Luma Rocha

loml is literally one of the best songs she has EVER created! An absolute masterpiece!

thejumpr

Has Ajay found out that Taylor’s talking about dating a known racist man on But Daddy I Love Him? lol

Fábio Pazitto

So Long London, loml are the ones about her 6.5 year relationship. The rest are about the “bad boy” Matty Healy she had a brief relationship after the long relationship.

Alberto Ovalle Jr

I truly hope you can do a revisit to this album! After my first listen, I was somewhat unimpressed and had the thought that all the songs “sounded the same.” Fast-forward to now and this has become one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) Taylor albums. As a Swiftie, I personally think I was overwhelmed with the album at first, especially with it being a double album. All that to say, I believe this is some of Taylor’s best work and I can’t wait to hear if the album grows on you!

Mason Barnett

outstanding reaction. this album is a grower. I spend a weekend with it and it is a fave. Maybe there was some context you missed. Let me break it down for you: She met and kinda had a brief fling at 24-ish with Matty Healy, but they were kids, he was an addict, and not the right time, but always wondered about each other. He wrote songs about her. Her relationship with Joe of 6 years was breaking down and started writing Midnights in late 2021 with Jack Antonoff, who was also producing Matty’s next record. So as she was figuring out what to do with her relationship with Joe who wasn’t ready to get married, Matty was feeding her some lines about marriage, kids, how she was the love of his life, and she reformed him, and why are you with that guy, you deserve a brave man, a real man who loves you. He fed her those lines for 18 mos before she was finally was able to end things with Joe (she did her time) she ran to this rekindled flame. And once he had her, he didn’t want her anymore and ghosted her immediately. that’s why she is so mad. She’s over her relationship with Joe, but it was the one she ran to who was feeding her line after line for 18 mos while in the studio until she left Joe. She feels used and from someone she had known for a decade. And, he’s very controversial and says offensive things, so the public hated them together, hated everything and was vocal about it and threatened to boycott her, it was really bad. Anyway, once he had her, he was no longer interested and left her alone and ghosted her. THAT is probably the context you needed going into the album. We all thought it would be mostly about Joe, but there is very little and mostly it is about Matty. So she is angry. She said its the worst men that she writes the best. Also, we don’t really know what happened with either men, but there are strong hints that they both cheated. The next album is different. Themes are different, sonically different, topics are different.

Starbuck1234!

They told you it was about Joe, but most of the time in this part of the album she was about her rebound after him, Aj. He is the shitty guy she is talking about most of the time when she sings about love bombing or ghost....

Beatriz Cardozo

"we all know..." Who's we? 😂

Nim Langcoy

I can do it with a broken heart it's about being on tour when she broke up with J** so she had to kept going with the shows with a broken heart, I think that's why has a happy melody.

Beatriz Cardozo

I feel like Ajay is really gonna love ‘Peter’ on the second half

Noah

Hi Ajay. Thank you so much for your sharing. Love it so much! I think that this album will grow as we listen a few more times. It sounds “calmer and more religious ” than the previous albums cuz one of the main themes of this album is about tortured moments. Torture drives people crazy and psycho as Taylor has illustrated through lyrics and melodies. The unforgettable moments are haunting as the melodies lingering in our minds. There are only 2 (the alchemy & Clara Bow) that expresses positive emotions. Even ICDIWABH is melodically catchy, the lyrics are very depressed. So I believe as we listen more, the album will prove its worth.

Heavy Lau

don’t disrespect florence and fleetwood mac by comparing those masterpieces to this.

rafael a

I remember how you gave Folklore another chance and then loved it and whether recorded or in your personal time I would HIGHLY recommend you give this another shot!

Will McNally

This album is a grower

Bryson Keel

AJ, can't wait for you to fully listen more and more, coz this album FUCKING GROWS as time goes by. This is not an easy album to digest, not a bubblegum pop album with catchy tune or what. This is an album that fully immersed in her world and enjoy the emotions up and downs. I am sure you will love it eventually, this really grows on me when i listened for the fifth and sixth time, and now can't stop. XDD

Alex Fung

I think our girl commented here that she will do it in two weeks. That she is awere of eras tour and she will react to it soon. Or maybe I'm too drunk right now and I'm seeing things.

Justyna

I think you will like “Down Bad” clean version better 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Bryson Keel

One of my top albums ever made up their with Rumours, Songs from the Big Chair and HbHbHb. I suggest you give it time or admit that it wasn't for you because I personally trust the globally celebrated artists ability to make music than yours.

Will McNally

Taylor is a poet.

Maks

it was just a rebound Aj...... but the fans got crazy lol

Beatriz Cardozo

Gurl i wanna know if the Eras Tour is coming soon or next still? Loved the reaction

Fabian Brenes

Guilty as Sin is just that girl once you get it!

max minaj

You should do the eras tour film reaction

Danny

judging sth once to have a conclusion understand you so much as a person. no worries. you are not a nice person anyway. =]

Alex Fung

The part where it slows down at 2:28 in Fresh Out The Slammer matches the part in Dear Reader at exactly 2:28 as well. The lyrics are very in sync.

Jo

😂😂😂😂 good one!

Enzo Reis

She said in another comment she plans on doing so sometime in the next two weeks

Artsy Adeel

Love love love this review and was waiting for it. You never disappoint! Would love for you to do a second one after you've listened to the album a few times. Looking forward to part two tomorrow. Thank you AJay

Yamillet Rivas

omg ily ajay thanks for this reaction!!!

arturo

So @Ajay Fortnight: was apparent a vibe check TTPD: was introduction to situation My boy only breaks his fav toys: Her lovers always treating her like the shinny new toy Barbie that they discard and break once bored Down bad: metaphor about feeling abducted by an alien/lover that left her here alone and naked and if she told ppl about this situation nobody would believe her. So long London: you were SPOT ON But daddy I love him: telling fans to stay in their lane Fresh out the slammer: feeling in prison with London boy and feeling free once again Florida!!: distraction and escape of problems Guilty as sin?: doing the nasty alone by yourself while in a relationship thinking about someone else Who’s afraid of little old me: idk I think she talks about the circus (the music industry screwing her up) I can fix him: Marty Healy) the Ratty boy was a mess girl so self explanatory Loml: spot on babes I can do it with a broken heart: the Eras Tour Smallest man: I tbh want to know what‘s it really about too The alchemy: idk maybe Travvy Clara bow: fame (spot on) Love you!!!!

JJ

this album is so uninspired. taylor desperately needs to step back for a few years before releasing another album, give it some time, sit on the music, let it come to her organicaly, cause this album feels and sounds shallow and forced.

rafael a

On my first listen, my favorites were Down Bad, loml, and But Daddy I Love Him. After more listens (it was midnight and I was tired), I still love those songs but So Long, London really stands out to me. I had to hear it multiple times to hear everything and now it makes me cry every time. I really like My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, and Guilty as Sin (grew on me a lot - it's so smooth!), and I Can Do it With a Broken Heart, The Alchemy, and Clara Bow. I like Fortnight and TTPD but I keep forgetting about them, so that's not great. I enjoy them in the moment but don't look for them. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived makes me cry. It's not my favorite song, but I definitely like it.

Regina Newport

Girly listen privately to guilty as sin! That is an instant bop like wow it’s good

JJ

This album is definitely a grower! I started out really only likeinf about half like you said and now I've had the album on REPEAT! P.S. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is a MASTERPIECE...mark my words...Mr. Matty Healy you better watch your back sir👀💅

Halen Cox

This is taylor’s worst album to date. you don’t have to pretend you liked it. we can tell you didn’t but we all know how switfies can get when anyone says anything slightly negative about taylor, so it’s unserstandable why you faked that you enjoyed this. it’s trash tho let’s be real.

rafael a

We love you ❤️

Matheus

Ajay I truly think you will love this album, it’s definitely one you have to sit and listen to. Knowing what you’ve liked in the past, this might be one you love!! Don’t give up on it 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Riles

my first listen - nothing really stood out to me except 3-4 songs. took me at least 3 listens to get into it. now im obsessed with it!

Caris Saw

I loved this album so much and it has gotten better with every listen, the second part of the album is my favorite I can’t wait for your reaction 🤍 also Ajay it would be so cool if you do a reaction to all the music videos Taylor has put out since the folklore era ❤️

Jp

OMG can't wait!♥️

Spurthi Hiremath

Girl I LOVE your reaction to LOML!It’s such an emotional song literally had the same reaction. The production sounds heartwarming but the lyrics were heartbreaking. It’s one of those songs I’d listen to when I need a cry.

BluJeans

Your reaction to Who's Afraid of Little Old Me was the exact same as mine. I totally get what you mean by it sounds younger and like she's in rep era. I saw a couple things that gave me a different perspective and helped me see it fit more in the album: 1. Taylor said she wrote it one day at the piano when she feeling bitter about what the industry does to its artists. 2. I watched a reaction where the reactors said the song actually sounds like she's telling the people/media in the industry who continue to belittle her, hate her, etc. that she knows that their hate is their mask for how much they actually fear her. Because when she sees things she doesn't like, she changes them (rerecordings). She was raised in the industry and by the media and by all these people, so she knows what they're really doing behind the scenes and that fucking scares them - as it should. It's not just a "you underestimate me but you really should be scared of me" song, which I think would fit more on reputation. It's actually a "you created this and now you are acting innocent in your own doing? you caged me and you're going to call me crazy? come on now - be real. the reason you caged me was BECAUSE you were scared of me from the beginning - that's why you took out all my teeth, that's why you trained me, that's why you did everything in your power to make sure I had NONE - because you've been scared of little old me since I was a 15 year old girl. and even after all your hate and all your bullshit and all your criticism and constant need to keep me caged, I continue to bite back so you are still scared of me now." I love this song because even though I can't relate to the music industry piece, I still feel like this totally captures what it is like to grow up as a girl.

Jo

thank you don't listen to haters queen

Justin Fecteau

so glad ur fav is so long london

miguel sanchez

I disagree. Florida!!! doesn’t need Taylor 🤷🏻‍♂️ Album was boring and similar to her previous work

Osvaldo

@ rit I was just making a comment, not a formal critique, so there was no need for me to do so.

Derek

Okay chill a little. No need to be cursing; we can chat like adults. She asked me why I was a former swiftie not just musically but in general, so I answered it. I believe it’s important to take into account what kind of person she is when it comes to a lot of her music because of how personal she makes and markets it. If I’m not connecting with her that way nor musically, mathematically I’m set up hot to like it. Regardless of how relative her carbon footprint is to other celebrities (who I would also hold to a high standard if I did actually like their work), she still is doing irreparable damage in a year that doesn’t even compare to what a single average American like me could ever do in my lifetime. Being a billionaire, to anyone with a basic understanding of sociology and a basic understanding of human compassion, is NOT and will never be ethical. She hoards a lot of her wealth and is only a self-proclaimed activist whenever it benefits her (never when it comes to actual pressing matters). I know enough about her dating life, so much so that unlike you I broke through my bias as a former stan and realized how childish she has been since she’s been frozen at the teenaged age she became famous. Dating someone with well-known problematic history just because she wants to feel like the rebellious girl for once is indeed childish. When she was 23, she dated a high school student just because he was a Kennedy (also who she met when he was a MINOR).

Derek

Lol typical “music critics” behaviors this past week

Hải Bùi

I listened to it once and it’s bad. Taylor fans are a cult. It’s a bad album

Justin

There are so many metaphors in this album. With the first song, fortnight to me. I interpret this song as one of her fears about the future, that she will have a cheating husband and an unhappy life forced to pretend that it’s fine while her now ex man has a lovely wife and a happy life. Although she pretends to be fine with it, the love she has for that man is “ruining her life”. This album is very dramatic, fatalistic, and deep for interpretation. My first few listens I truly had no clue what the hell was going on, now after a week, it’s simply immaculate for me.

Davis Le

"this album was just everything i haven’t liked about her music recently" proceeds to list no critiques of the album

rit

You’ve posted this comment like 6 times and no matter how many times I’ve read it I still don’t know what you’re saying lol

Stevrev59

Please react to “Crash” by Charli XCX!

Nathan Cagle

Okay but I had to take a minute with the album as well to be fair I did listen to it at midnight sooo but I loved Down Bad from the moment I heard it, I was not vibing with the song tortured poets department at first but I do love her lower register on this album however

Alex

I just made a suggestion of a video, I didn't say in my comments that needs to be today or tomorrow. Or forced her to watch the movie if she doesn't want. Stop being annoying Luca.

Enzo Reis

You don't understand how much I love this album. My first reaction was almost like yours, but I looveeed Who's Afraid of Little Old Me on my first listen. She's is coming after industry and HER OWN fans. She can trash us and we still love her. And I understand her completly because some of her fans think that they are her friends. I think that Taylor made this album not about her long term relationship because she still can't understand the heartbreak. She is not allowing herself to feel that much. That's why we get So Long London, and lfml. That man inspired reputation, lover, folklore evermore and midnights. And she gave him couple of songs on standard album. The most heartbreaking ones. She thought that singing about situationship is better. You have to really fucked up TS if she doesn't want to sing about you that much. But I think this album is mostly about her. I'm happy that you are not so familiar with her private life. That girl is in the business for 18 years now. And believe me when I tell you she is the most loved and hated one. And it's really thin line between this two emotions. Everything she does and everythin she doesn't do is commented by media, fans and haters. I'm glad she still seems normal. Album is def a grower. I didn't like gulity as sin for 6 days. I skiped it. But today I fall in love with this song. Can't wait for second half.

Justyna

Okay why do you include these claims into a commentary about her MUSIC alone?? She was not even in the top 30 celebrities with the highest carbon footprint and the fact that she becomes a billionaire is well-deserved for her hard work. And you don’t even understand her that much to judge her dating life. Please leave those bullshit about her personal life out of a music commentary because that is so biased

Hải Bùi

please take a breath and be glad she posted a new video

Luca Mirkovic

5$ well spent🤭🩶

Davis Le

i feel you sooo much on this „First Listen“ i really don’t liked it at my first listen but it grows so hard on me. its so unreal what i feel for this album after a few listens. love you xoxo 💋

Luca Mirkovic

well so you dislike taylor it’s ok, but you cant just say the album is bad even you dont want to spent time listening it

宇 田

I just feel like I’m slowly becoming not her target audience both musically and dispositionally. She seems to be accomplishing a lot, but there’s a complex history of her lack of ethical standards ranging from her abuse of private jets to becoming a billionaire and hoarding the wealth to dating a well-documented racist and being frustrated that people weren’t having it.

Derek

I’m looking forward to tomorrow tbh I think that the second half is wayyyyyu better

Sabrina

I can do it with a broken heart is about her tour! Can you do a Eras tour movie reaction here? I would love to see it!! Also I agree with your take on Taylor cursing on Down Bad, I like the song but I know that Taylor has the ability to put it in more interesting words. Guilty as sin? is such a grower:)

Kyrie

and please let it marinate before you revisit unlike the nicki album 😭

Derek

I do, and I plan on watching and posting it within the next two weeks 💕

no one

Aww why "former obsessed swiftie"? and what is the disconnect you feel from her recent music?

no one

also it’s low key unreasonable for people to expect a 31 track album to just “grow” on you. unless you’re willing to make that effort, it’s basically just musical stockholm syndrome.

Derek

it’s okay if you don’t like it. of course albums take time for some people to grow but stans need to also realize that some music is simply not for everyone. as a former obsessed swiftie, this album was just everything i haven’t liked about her music recently.

Derek

Please react to chappel roans debut album The rise and fall of a midwest princess 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Oscar Velasquez

I think a lot of people needed a few more listens, so it is completely understandable to feel that way at the end. Fresh Out The Slammer grew on me x1000000. Now I have the entire album on repeat. I am excited for you to listen again. I know there are lots of people commenting who each song is about, but I really recommend going in to each song trying not to focus on the "who" inspired it but more so about the feelings described in the song and how you interpret it. A LOT of people have different opinions about who each song is about (and I don't think there is a 100% right answer for either besides maybe a couple select ones - the ones about her current relationship that is :) you 10000% got that right). Some songs could arguably be about multiple people because some people did similar things in different ways. To me, this album is really telling the story of the transition from a relationship where you felt trapped, alone, and like you were constantly questioning whether the other person even really wanted to be with you at all to the rebound chaotic delulu relationship where the polar opposite of your previous partner love bombs you with all the things you were missing from the previous relationship to finally being alone and feeling that pain and realizing you are going to be okay...leading to you letting go of all that heartbreak and opening the door to the person who authentically loves you and appreciates you in all the ways you have been needing (with a couple songs commenting on the problems in the industry and media thrown in as well). Love you, and love your reactions always. Thank you for this <3

Jo

I’ll pass. I’m not interested enough in Taylor for her audible album to entertain me

Justin

Do you think Ajay know about the Eras tour?😁

Spurthi Hiremath

when i first listen to the album, it was not my favourtie album of taylors, after afew listens the album has grown on me xx

carlxoxo

Loved this reaction. I had to subscribe to see this early 😆 but for sure everyone agrees it gets better with more listens. It’s actually an incredible album now we’ve had it a week

Jamal

You are definitely!! going to love the second half

deya R19

this album is a grower album and many people including critics agree!! the first listen is a bit confusing but once you digest it it’s one of her best albums! i felt the same way for folklore and evermore, i think if you do a re-listen or just take some time on your own you’ll get what i mean!

David

Thanks for listening Ajay! Always love your reactions and your takes when an artist drops an album. It's definitely a lot to digest! We expected most of the songs to be about Joe, who Taylor had a 6-year-long relationship with, but many of them are also about her situationship with Matty Healy from the 1975, who many people protested against as he's arguably, trash. This situationship occured shortly after her breakup with Joe, it seems like it was a rebound relationship. Songs like "Down Bad", "But Daddy I Love Him", "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived", "Guilty as Sin?" and "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) are just a couple songs fans believe are about Matty Healy whilst songs like "So Long, London", "loml" and "How Did it End?" to name a few, are believed to be about Joe Alwyn. There are also a couple songs about her current relationship with Travis Kelce. However, Taylor doesn't ever really say or at least confirm who her songs are about, so some of this is fan speculation. Both men are from England which makes analysing the songs a bit tricky too.

not london bridge 😭

santi zéleny

I fear nobody really expected the album to actually cover quite a broad range of topics. She does not refer only to her long-term ex-partner but also a situationship she had with another Brit (🐀), and Travis (her current partner). But besides the relationships, she mostly talks about her more abstract relationship with her career, the industry, and fame. This is one of the most unserious and serious albums she has put out. So it takes extra effort to actually see through the veil. She’s being sarcastic and very hyperbolic in some songs. A lot of scenarios she paints are figuratively parallel to her own life and experiences. Some of us expected a lot of super depressing songs (and there are a few in the first half of the album). But, honestly, heartbreak is not linear and neither are emotions. She just had to let it all out. In fact, she left us with a brief description about the album on release day basically saying how she wrote all of these tracks to process her own grief. But now that she’s done she’s left them all to us. She doesn’t want us to apply them to her life, but to take them as our own.

William C.

i was really disappointed when i first listened to the album, but it really grew on me. don't give up on it hahaha

gustavo

Believe me when I say we were shocked most of this album is about Matty Healy… lol

Kaylie

Not Ajay fully jamming out to Guilty As Sin? and then saying she doesn’t like it lol

Jillian Stamatelos

First time being on Patreon for your reaction! As I'm watching the Fortnight reaction I wanted to say, don't get too bogged down in trying to assign each song to a specific person. I've been a Swiftie since 2010 when Speak Now came out, and I really think over the past 5 years Taylor has been experimenting with her diaristic songwriting style. In this album she takes the metaphor-heavy songwriting of Folklore and Evermore and applies it to her life situation while sprinkling in some details. I really think she's trying to find a balance of how much she shares in her music, and when you listen to "But Daddy I Love Him" and the song "How Did It End?" on the Anthology, you can understand why. She's tired of her art being treated like a public autopsy and fans and the media acting like her honest vulnerability in her songwriting gives them the right to act in the way they have been and make the art about her exes rather than about her feelings and emotions that she is exorcising on the page. Fortnight as an opener makes sense when you realize that she is introducing the concept of the album metaphorically. The overarching theme of the album is Taylor ending a 6-year relationship that had been slowly dying for quite some time, and then jumping into a rebound with an old flame who she had always wondered about (and in some ways built up to be a better fit for her than he was) in the back of her mind. That rebound then love-bombed her and crushed her at a time when she was already vulnerable, leaving her reeling and consequently, processing her emotions over the end of the 6-year relationship AND being used by someone who had lied to her about being in it for the long haul and willing to give her the things her 6-year relationship had refused to. Also, she's experiencing all of this while being under intense scrutiny from the public eye while on one of the biggest tours she's ever done. I think with this album more than any other it's important to listen to what she is saying and not worry about who inspired what because I think she has pulled from both experiences for a lot of the album.

iLaney90

Ajay always seems to love Taylor's track 5's. As she should. 🥰

Nobody's gonna love you like me.

after a few listens this album really connects. Anothology is a hit after the first listen tho

jazmin

It is very understandable that on your first listen, stand outs are the song about Joe (long time beau) most of the songs, to everyone’s surprise were about her rebound, short-term situationship with someone, people were upset about. lol. some songs are definitely growers. it took 2-3 relistens. I hope you’ll like the second part better, since the songs were more vulnerable and emotional vocally. 🤍

Andi Pratama

deya R19

This album is bad

Justin

If you listen to Down Bad clean version it tells you different whole perspective 🍀

Andi Pratama

After seeing her reaction to So long,London I know she’s going to love some songs from the Anthology

Jair Garcia

my first initial listen I was overwhelmed by the production and lyrics that I didn't know what to concentrate on first! But after listening to the album multiple times and understanding the lyrics, I have to say that this is her best album in my opinion. for both albums this is the most she has been very raw and meaningful in her music for us as fans in a very long time. I feel like this whole album is one of her most unique ones yet! if you think about the lyrics and the tone in her voice at times its very dark and sinister at the same time gut wrenching makes sense now why "tortured" is part of the album title because these thoughts are very deep and hard to keep inside. this album is like reading a series of books and this is like her 11th book and you kinda have to really know what happened from the last book to understand what is going on in her life and the lyrics she is expressing! I'm so glad that this is a double album because the story continues onto the 2nd half and the 2nd half of the double album is very beautiful, raw and truthful! Ajay I'm glad you decided to do 2 separate listening ,because this first half once you understand the heartache, the trust being taken away and the loneliness she goes through can be heavy on a person. I hope you love her 2nd half when we watch your reaction tomorrow, if not that is completely understandable!

bri barragan

so excited to see her react to i hate it here 😭😭😭

cey

It is a grower! I only liked a few songs on my initial listen the more I listen to the album the more I love it (:

Ivan Gagro

Can’t wait to watch, did she give a mark to many songs?

Shaun

She's actually poking fun at the "tortured poet" stereotype, and there is actually a lot of humor in the album.

LanaJulie33

Lmao right?? They've been going on and off for a decade!! I'm pretty sure there were breaks (at least 1 or 2) with Joe where she and matty would connect.

React to fortnight music video please!! It’s a grower ajayyy

Ksenia

AT THAT TIME, YOU'RE NOT READY FOR THE ANTHOLOGY

axzanz

It’s a lot to digest on first listen but a week later and it’s all I can think about. But I’m also in the middle of a divorce after 9 years so I think much of this album resonates deeply within me. The black dog is my favorite, then I can do it with a broken heart, loml.

SB

The album lived up to its title in a sense that lyrically it’s so raw and honest but melodically and production wise it didn’t feel as “tortured” as I expected compared to like Midnights where you can feel the songs have that midnight vibe. I was expecting some really peircing songs and gut-wrenching melodies to feel the “torture” but honestly the songs started to sound flat and drawn out halfway through the album. Loml is my absolute favorite I think it’s the most befitting song for this album.

BluJeans

Honestly when i first listened to it i had the same feeling towards the album as you did, but after the second listen everything changed, and everytime i listen to it it keeps getting better and better. It's a grower for sure and rn everyday i wake up with a new favourite

Hussain Ali

Whole album is definitely a grower!

please ajay share your honest opinion… don’t be scared from the swifties

arishandbag

I as a super fan was just a little puzzled after the first listen, but here I am 6 days later absolutely in love with every song. Love your honest reaction. I can’t wait to see you react to part 2. My fav on that one is the Black Dog. That girl called out his favorite coffee shop and ruined it for him forever. Petty queen! Love it.

Bev Rousch

Hey, just wanted to mention that the album is not just about her 6-year relationship. It's also about another relationship she had with a boy this summer, one that was really short (they had "flirtation thingz" back in 2014-2015, but that's another story). Some songs are also about the media, herself etc. Way more topics that just that relationship. Anyways, hope this helped u a lil ajayyy 🤍

sweet swiftie

This album is definitely a grower type album. It went from one of my least favorites on initial listen to one of my favorite albums from her ever.

熊熊 熊熊

U made me cry with u!!!

Bingo

It’s definitely a grower and needs more that one listen, with me each day after the release I had a new song that clicked and was a new favorite. It may not be like this for everyone and it’s okaaay. 🫶🏽 plus some did like the anthology more so there was something for everybody

Jair Garcia

"I'm kind of with the crowd here" during but daddy I love him is SO REAL LMAO

Julianne Livni

I see fortnight as an analogy for two people who had a brief romance that felt like it would be forever in that moment but they separate and ended up in relationships with other people. They’d see each other here and there over the years and have small talk and then life brought them back into the same neighborhood (or in this case… recording studio/friend group) but they’re still in their relationships so they’re just good neighbors (good friends). She’s jealous of his partner, who is a good person (watering flowers I think means pouring into others, being responsible) but because she’s jealous she wants to “kill her” and her partner is cheating (but likely more just emotionally distant or giving others attention but not her) and so she’s unhappy with him.

Cory Harbour

I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART IS ABOUT THE ERAS TOUR. SHE'S HAPPY ON THE TOUR BUT DEEP INSIDE

i think it’s interesting the ones that touched u the most (so long london, loml) are the ones that happen to be about joe. u can tell she’s more hurt by that breakup

Deyra Flores

girl we were we didnt mean to lie this album completely shocked us. its mostly about her fling with on and off friend matty healy (gross i know) but has a handful of songs about joe. we didnt expect so much to be about ratty healy

Taylor Swift

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart is about her during the tour

Luis Eduardo

this album is definitely a grower! the lyricism is so heavy that we can’t quite understand and take it all in one listen so i don’t blame anyone that didn’t vibe with it at the beginning. the second part is personally my favorite cause the lyrics are just PHENOMENAL and i think you’ll like it more! with that being said, i hope we have a revisit later this year to see if the first part got you. love you ajay, i was waiting for this reaction since i heard it for the first time ❤️

This is my second favorite Taylor Album behind folklore. At first listen I LOVED it. I cried from the second song to the last. I know this isn’t for everyone, but it is for me 💕

Emily

I'm sorry to tell you Ajayii but Florida!!! it wouldn't exist if it weren't for Florence Whelch. The instrumental in the chorus with the epic drums is a classic Florence thing. Besides, Taylor doesn't have that strong prominent vocals to emanate the emotion in "FLORIDA!!!" that's why she needed Florence in the song. Taylor vocals are soft and contrast so well with the strong voice of Florence.

Enzo Reis

For reference majority of the album is about her 2 month fling with Matty Healy. (It was a situationship for years)

Roger Fleming

Please react to Chappel Roan's Debut album called the rise and fall of a midwest princess ❤️❤️

“Guilty As Sin” is such a grower, I have very little doubt that you’re gonna come to love it in time. ❤️

Daniel S.

I would say this album really needs to be sit with and digested. At first listen it’s all over the place but you piece the stories together and everything becomes incredibly addictive!

Tyler L.

idk if you’ll see my comment but basically what happened was everyone thought this album would be abt joe alwyn her long term ex but then a lot of it ended up being about matty healy, a brief relationship she had publicly that was very controversial due to who he is as a person. they had known each other for a loooong time and she pined for him for a while (it seems like) idk if this is true but i feel like she promised joe not to sing about their break up or something which would explain the lack of songs abt him imo but that’s an assumption

Deyra Flores

ajay on theraphist mode 😭 sitting and all lmaoo

this album is part fact/part fiction it’s like she blended that folklore fantasy with her actual life

ALSO if you don’t like the cursing as much, the clean versions of some of the tracks are p good (I.e down bad)

Cee

Yes dear, I understand that. I'm saying that in 2014/15 they were just friends because at that time Taylor was not romantically involved with him. This is what I wanted to tell you, because in 2014/15 it wouldn't be good for Taylor's image to have a relationship with someone like Matty Healy, as he has a strong history with drugs so much so that he chose drugs above her and that wouldn't do any good. for the "good girl" image she was selling in 2014/15. But that didn't stop them from being friends and admiring each other's work. But, of course there was that "unspoken" interest between them. And it wasn't until years later that they moved from friendship to dating (which is fully illustrated in TTPD as we know). I was talking about 2014/15, I know their line in the TTPD very well.

She very clearly basically paints the picture in this album that she 100% was already with Matty while her and Joe were still together and was emotionally cheating just like he was physically cheating.

Jacob Breese

Amy and Brennan

some are about his long 6 year relationship with joe alwyn but some especially the first song is about the 1975 singer matty healey since their relationship lasted 14 days hence a “fortnight”

Jax

So long London slaps at x1.25, that’s all

D

I know that they have a long history, but this album it's focused itself on their summer thing. And it's the only information that Ajay needs. Because from 2013 until they started to date they were only friends. Taylor didn't give him a chance until she broke up with Joe.

Enzo Reis

whos the one that told her that this album is only about joe? 🫠

Pedro Henrique Lobato

The fact yall believe she’s only been romantically involved or caught up with Matty for a singular summer is so laughable and shows me none of yall were swifties in 2014-2015 lmfaooooo

Jacob Breese

Girl just so you know, some of these songs are about her brief rebound with Matty Healy after her 6 year relationship! We were all surprised too 😹 we didn’t lie we were all just genuinely shocked too 😩💀

David

I love the “this is the last time I restart a song, I promise” but proceeds to repeat more songs and I love it haha

Clau

If you genuinely believe Matty has only been associated with or apart of her romantic life for a singular summer…. Boy do I have news for you

Jacob Breese

Why do I agree with AJay on everyone of these 😭 urgh I love you so much Queen 🤍 speak your truth 🗣️

Nikki M

Taylor is a writer not a poet and i feel like that what’s wrong with this album… she’s trying to be smth she isn’t but anyway if you wanna read actual tortured poets go read some Palestinian poems or listen to phoebe bridgers !!!!

Meja

This album wasn't mainly about her 6 years relationship but also her summer-fling-rebound with Matty Healy the vocalist of The 1975 band.
