does REPUTATION by TAYLOR SWIFT live up to its reputation?!
Added 2023-02-24 12:58:05 +0000 UTC
50,000 likes (on the 3am tracks video) later, and here we are: reputation! After I received some much needed taylor lore explained to me by my friend Ally, I was...ready for it. I hope y'all enjoy the video, I chose not to do a stream for this because I kinda miss making youtube videos and not streams on the channel. youtube videos just feel more natural to me so I might do them for a while. That being said, we're still streaming every week on twitch.tv/hthaze for the year though. you guys are my first line viewers so if you spot anything that's off in the edit feel free to let me know. and for all you newbies, here's a fresh discord link
thanks yall and have a great day!

I think it would be a blast to go through a reaction series of each era’s music videos. I don’t really know if each mv is worth its own video (that’s at your discretion) but her videos are insanely produced and fun as hell.

Is /was there ever an uncut full version of this reaction?
Julia

No. Love Taylor, but she's a billionaire now and doesn't really need anyone's financial support. There's no reason to deprive yourself of the album proper.

“We’ll move to an island, he can be my jailer” to me always seemed more playful and role play type vibes. Like yall can’t catch me, but *he* can be my jailer! I think it’s a reference to her moving to England for a year after # snakegate with Joe, staying hidden from the public like she was jailed, but really she was falling in love and learning how to put up boundaries with Joe’s support.

Troy. I need need need you to watch the Rep Tour, YOU NEED to see the REP TOUR. it's on another level... (compared to 1989. and tbh, as crazy as it is, i think REP is better than the Eras movie but i've only seen that once, seen Rep 10x)..... ANYWAY WATCH IT IM BEGGING

Please listen to 1989 and react! You need to prep for all the vault tracks that will drop when she releases her re-record. If you loved Red 1989 will devastate you.

You're the one who was being an asshole to Troy about a song he didn't like but okay

Absolutely would love to see you react to the rep tour bc honestly it made me like all the songs so much more (both the ones I already liked and the ones that I wasn’t a fan of)
Virginia

Absolutely yess - the tour is what made me actually like some of them that I wasn’t a fan of when I first listened!

are you doing the reaction to the rep tour soon? You said at the end of the video to subscribe to your patreon for the rep tour and here i am lol

Yeah tell Sydney that. She bullied just because I had a different opinion. I guess they can have one but I can't. Typical Americans

If you are a swiftie, probably not if you use language like that. I am an OG from Tim McGraw and I can say anything calling out people like you who swear at people for expressing my opinion about reactors. You seem like an American who can't squash opinions without cursing.
Richard
2023-02-26 09:15:56 +0000 UTC
You shut up. I never sweared to you or him and I can make comments anytime I want. Stay out of it. It is none of your business Foul mouthed busy body.

dancing with our hands tied and dress are my favorite rep songs 😅

i've been a swiftie for over half my life - from age 11 to my current age of 24 - and i PROMISE you it's not that serious. you need to calm the fuck down. you should be fucking embarrassed writing comments like this as a whole ass adult.

God, you complain a lot. How can you NOT like Call it what you want and can't have nice things. It is a big comeback to idiot Kanye. Please don't make fun of Taylor either.
Richard
2023-02-26 06:02:33 +0000 UTC
"dancing with our hands tied" is my favorite song from rep, i'm so relieved that you liked it 😭

2023-02-26 05:46:24 +0000 UTC
I never appreciated it until I played it at the gym and it’s such a vibe for running or doing walking lunges

Oh ABSOLUTELY. And I'm sure someone will say my music taste is terrible as well. It's music, it's just an opinion. Brains and ears work different on everyone! No disrespect to swiftys, I just truly hate this song.

I love in 'So it Goes...' when she says: "You did a number on me, but honestly, baby, who's counting" and then whispers 1, 2, 3 before going back into the chorus.
'Call It What You Want' is probably one of my favourite songs of hers of all time. There's something so smoothing about it to me. It feels calm but powerful and confident; something I yearn to feel in my own life. It really moves me!

reputation is definitely one of those albums that grow on you. i didn't care for it much either on first listen but now it's literally my TOP taylor album. i appreciate your honesty that this was a mixed bag for you! thanks for the reaction troy :)
Kayla Field
2023-02-25 20:14:27 +0000 UTC
also this reminded me about how much songs from the end of reputation and lover are some of my favorite low key taylor songs. i think the albums are a lot similar than people think at first.

Watching these videos really help introduce me to aspects of these tracks that I had often overlooked. It's great to see what you pick up on during your first listens that I may have gotten used to by streaming these songs so many times. I understand you need to make the content that you feel best doing, but if you're worried about interest in these videos, I'll always watch, they're just a real fun time :)!

This whole album, at least for me, represents Taylors journey of belonging. You have all the ups and downs in the songs. Her reputation is in shambles and she is so afraid of being hurt over and over angain. So she wants to push people away (Renegade). New Year's Day and Call It What You Want always make me tear up because she finally leaves all of it behind.
Lydia
2023-02-25 16:56:23 +0000 UTC
New patreon here just so I could watch this! I'm so happy to see you love rep so much because it's an album that means SO much to me personally. I was SAd in college several months before this was released and had a lot of "friends" who turned their back on me (including recording me as I told them what happened to try to catch me in a lie! did not work) so I've always related to the theme of betrayal and loss of friends. Love this!
Elizabeth Roach
2023-02-25 16:34:25 +0000 UTC
Watch the look what you made me do music video. It helps the song a bit since Taylor loves her theatrics in music videos, but yeah it’s not her best piece of work but I can appreciate it and the meaning it holds for her.

2023-02-25 14:56:49 +0000 UTC
For the End Game 4th of July lyric: Ed met his wife at Taylor’s annual 4th of July party!!! So he’s throwing a reference to not only his “end game” but Taylor as well!

2023-02-25 14:28:19 +0000 UTC
thank you for thinking of me lol but making 15+ videos for one album is a bit much. plus that would split all the views up and at the end of the day I'd still be editing a ton. plus plus, then my channel would be flooded with Taylor content and i have so many more artists that i want to cover. and tbh i like editing, sometimes it can be overwhelming but that's why i have awesome editors to help me out :) the reason i edited this was so that it'd would be perfect but honestly, i promise im not THAT tired lol i still very much enjoy making videos
HAZE (Hamilton Troy Hayes)
2023-02-25 13:52:34 +0000 UTC
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
I love everything about the song, don’t care if the production is off, or if it is repetitive!
I understand why she made the song the way it is! And i love it!
Natalia Haemaf
2023-02-25 12:19:23 +0000 UTC
I agree so much , you summed up everything that was going on my mind watching Troy‘s reaction.
We swifties have a strong bond with this albums , cuz we now what went down and what led to this album being this chaotic and beautiful.
Natalia Haemaf
2023-02-25 12:14:39 +0000 UTC
Also i want to give my opinion about your Album reactions, in this video, i felt like you’re tolerating the songs and not appreciate each and every song on its own, and that you are just make it through, so i feel this reaction is a bit forced, i can understand how us followers forced u to 😅.
So i have a recommendation, why not do a reaction video for each song on albums and , upload it every other day, then make a review video for the whole album, so you would have time to sit with the album and appreciate the music on your own pace!
Also editing 10 min videos is easier than an 1 hour long vid.
I as your follower would not like to see suffer making long as albums reactions, we can tell that you’re not enjoying making reactions like that.
I really hope you figure out a way to enjoy it more .
Much love ♥️
Natalia Haemaf
2023-02-25 12:07:45 +0000 UTC
Hey, thanks for the much awaited Video!
I‘m a Rep hard core STAN!
This Album helped me go through a very bad time of my life, so i get every reference and understand every lyric , i love this album to the core , i don’t recommend ever comparing Taylor’s Albums to each other, cuz she makes sure that none of them are alike , so i see Rep just like that, as on its own a masterpiece.
I get the Sassy , revengeful Taylor and the delicate vulnerable Taylor.
Thanks for your efforts, i can feel how exhausting this can be.
Natalia Haemaf
2023-02-25 12:02:45 +0000 UTC
This is Why We Cant Have Nice Things is camp now to me & her parodying awards following the 2007 VMAs, when she performs ‘Innocent’ symbolically forgiving Kanye, contrasts his much flashier ‘Runaway’ performance at that show (toasting parallel) So in a way I kind of love it
For ‘Call it what you want’ on the other hand… there are parts I’m obsessed with & find beautiful but something just made me cringe deeply on first listen and I’ve never escaped that. So you’re not alone lol. Would say now I’m less averse to all the parts I hated, but still haven’t managed to get fully on board since 2017 [despite my best efforts for “same mistakes, every time; bridges burn, I never learn”]
McCall
2023-02-25 10:16:37 +0000 UTC
hi troy! big swiftie here, I really enjoyed this reaction! rep isn't my favorite of her albums, it definitely has some hits and misses and for the most part i agreed with you on which are which. just so you know, gorgeous isn't about tom hiddleston it's about joe lol BUT getaway car is about tom and i highly recommend reading into the meaning of the lyrics a bit more, it's all very metaphorical and the song will mean a lot more once it clicks.
This might be a long shot but i REALLY think you'd love speak now, it's got the lyrical and emotional depth of folklore/evermore but with more instrumentation and bigger production, it would be rly cool to see your reaction to the original album before taylor's version comes out and maybe a little comparison of the production changes, but i dont want to sound demanding haha its just my favorite album. either way loved your reaction here, you always manage to point out something in each song that i didnt notice even after listening 500 times! keep slaying :P

Thank you Troy , this was everything and more. I appreciate what you do. I haven't sat and listened to Rep in forever. And not since being in a relationship. This is a beautiful album with chaotic, farcical interludes (LWYMMD, Nice Things). It's not the best album. It is one of my favorites by her. Tbh, I'd be interested but nervous to see a 1989 reaction. It was my fave album up til Midnights. It was the first vinyl and CD I got by Taylor. That was my era. Freshman year of college. Taylor's a lot of nostalgia. It's hard to just latch onto certain works sometimes especially in first, live sittings. The lyrics, production, the lore, your own feelings...bro it's a commitment to get into a new Taylor album.
Hunter Kuehn
2023-02-25 04:50:30 +0000 UTC
I just joined Patreon so that I can watch your reaction. reputation is my absolute favorite pop album from Taylor and it hits hard! The fact that she went through all the shit show that was 2016 and came back with this album, made snakes as her brand and sold millions in the first week then went on harder with her stadium tour, which media called it a flop tour but ended up being the highest grossing tour in the US. She never had a flop era for real!
This album and the whole reputation era will forever have a special place in my heart because Taylor saved me from depression I was having that same year she released it. I had a blast watching your reaction! PS. I agree with your top 3 113% 💞 I hope you react to Speak Now next as soon as her version drops. Have a great day!

Listen, I'm not a Taylor fan but Troy convinced me that folklore was a good album. But good Christ was look what you made me do easily the worst song I've ever heard in my life. What a MESS lyrically, productionally, just God awful. I cannot believe people defend that song.

AHHH! First of all, thank you for this, Troy. I know we've been hounding you about it for forever. You got me SO HYPE during dress lmao I swear I got winded. I'm so excited for you to watch the Rep tour because it wasn't until I watched that that I even started liking this album so maybe it'll give you a different perspective on some of these songs.
Chontelle
2023-02-25 02:13:03 +0000 UTC
Watching the stadium tour turned me onto this album a lot, watching her perform it just adds a whole different vibe to the songs and you can understand the direction she wanted more. This isn’t her best album, I truly feel she’s just getting better and better every album but I do love listening to rep when I’m raging or need to clean my house lol
Cassie McCallum
2023-02-25 02:09:07 +0000 UTC
This album was ICONIC for 2017. This is why we can't have nice things was written like she was talking to a child, because Kanye is a child, and it is a BOP. The whole album is such a journey for me because in the beginning the songs are loud and angry and defensive. Then you get to delicate where you feel her opening up a little bit, then the end towards This is why we can't have nice things she realized she had gotten over this man and his drama, and the piano love song at the end.. literally chefs kiss. Amazing journey for her. Also there's behind the scenes footage of her making the songs with her producers. I feel like you would like watching that!
Brianna
2023-02-25 02:05:59 +0000 UTC
Loved the video Troy!! Every time you post it makes my day. I really recommend watching the reputation stadium tour. The choreography, the costumes, the effects, Taylor’s expressions, vocals,and the overall vibe and energy honestly takes the songs to a another level!

Just based off your opinions in this your going to thoroughly enjoy 1989. It’s not my personal favourite but it’s Taylor doing pop at her absolute best. It doesn’t feel as raw as a lot of Taylor albums but it’s pretty near perfect

The “yours is in red beerlined” and “I check it once and check it twice” is actually a Game of Thrones reference to Arya and her list. She has clarified that herself

I agree completely! After watching reputation stadium tour, a new life was breathed into this album for me - that paired with watching Miss Americana. I watched it all in one night and was like... whoa

2023-02-24 19:34:54 +0000 UTC
Troy, I absolutely loved this reaction. The short clips inserted when you were editing, the dancing, memes, effects, commentary, etc. made it! I can't wait for you to watch the reputation stadium tour on Netflix. I can truly say after watching that and Miss Americana, a new life was given to this album for me. It is now one of my favorites up there with folklore and 1989.
I feel the creation of this album was very therapeutic for her. Yes, the album has petty, sassy tracks as a response to events that happened, but it also has many tracks representing the good and love she found during this time and of her being able to let go of all that had happened. Her saying "I'm doing better than I ever was" in CIWYW is so true and how when she "looked around in a blood soaked gown" she was able to "[see] something they [couldn't] take away" - Joe, her family, her true friends, her fans, and her being able to take back what is hers through her rerecords. This is symbolic with her going from reputation to lover. "I wanna be defined by the things that I love".
Anyway (lol) can't wait to watch you watch the reputation stadium tour! I hope you love it!

i can say whole heartedly that i did not appreciate reputation until after watching the stadium tour. Gorgeous, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things, & Endgame were so bottom tier for me until seeing the performance and the energy and emotion.
plus that girl shakin what the good lord gave her in gorgeous is just too much to ignore

gorgeous, look what you made me do, and this is why we can’t have nice things are definitely CAMP and an acquired taste lol. Dancing with our hands tied is underrated and deserves way more love. Reputation has become one of my fav Taylor albums and I can’t for you to see the concert, I saw it live and it was phenomenal she knows how to put on a good show

i am kind of a lurker and don't comment much but i have to tell you that i love your reactions. i love hearing a producers perspective, plus i think you have really good takes and you pick up on so many things that i didn't even pick up on on my first listen and i love that you are putting in your takes after your next few listens and being transparent about when your opinions change. its just a really cool perspective on my favorite music, even when i don't agree. plus i literally weep laughing while watching your videos because you're hilarious so that's a plus lol. anyways that's just my take as a quiet viewer lol k love you bye

also i 100% agree w u abt reputation being a mixed bag, but for me it leans slightly more into the dislike category than it did for me. i just think it has some high highs w/ like 4 or 5 songs and everything else is mediocre to bad in my opinion.

Totally agree with most of your takes, I think as a whole album Rep is one of my least repeated, but the tracks I love from it are some of my most played Taylor tracks to this day (Getaway Car, Delicate, New Year’s Day). And even the iffy tracks usually have a bridge or pre chorus that i love to listen to

To be fair, he did just say it was early access on Patreon and not any extra content in the video itself. He’s also going to watch the entire Reputation Tour movie on Netflix, so I personally think it’s worth it. But to each their own!

Loved the reaction. I feel like your reactions are how mine were. Now Rep is one of my absolute favorite albums. It just slaps when you need it to. And you’ve got a nice chill song spread throughout. Also, seeing the album live for the Rep tour also gave this album the LIFE it needed! Imo, the best tour she has had so far (Midnights coming for Reps throat probs) — watch the Rep stadium tour, you will not be disappointed!!! Thanks again Troy! Great content per usual!

New Years Day is to her fans. She knew Reputation was Taylor on Ice and not her usual work. She was telling her fans she had a plan (bye bye BM) and not to give up on her. She loves hearing her fans sing at her shows and those are the voices she doesn’t want to lose. It’s a giant metaphor. Telling us Taylor isn’t really dead, she just had to do what she needed to do to get out of a bad situation (we had no idea of the masters situation at that time) and she’s telling us she’s not going anywhere. And in the meantime to let the memories hold onto us. But also Taylor, because she knew Rep was a swift departure from her normal style, but she wasn’t going anywhere 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

You have to watch the LWYMMD music video! I think most people disliked the song until that video, makes you hear the song in a whole different light. LEGIT one of the best music videos of all time!

i did drop what i was doing regrettably. i was expecting more on patreon but he is still chopping up the songs like he is editing for youtube. its only 5 bucks but this will be a one month thing. i am sure people like this format just not for me.
Mark Barnwell
2023-02-24 15:13:49 +0000 UTC
In I did smt bad, you skipped the entire bridge and end of second verse I believe, I think that was it. Also this was my favorite album reaction yet!
Jakey
2023-02-24 15:12:54 +0000 UTC
also yes with This is why we can’t have nice things being Camp! It’s probably my least favorite song on the album but I do love when she leans in to things purposefully cringy sometimes, like on Blank Space it works perfectly
Allison V
2023-02-24 15:10:40 +0000 UTC
definitely excited to see you do the tour, so many of the songs come to life better when performed live 🖤
Allison V
2023-02-24 15:08:03 +0000 UTC
I love reputation with every piece of my soul, so I will admit it hurts seeing you not love some of my favorite Taylor songs of all time (i did something bad, call it what you want, and king of my heart), however this album is very much a 2017 album, and I can see how a lot of the music can feel dated or weird listening back to it 5 years later. also, I think there was something special about listening to this album as soon as it came out with everything happening at the time, that can’t be replicated, even if you do understand all the lore surrounding the album.
BUT, I’m really glad you found songs you really enjoy from it! It isn’t everyone’s taste, but there are definitely some of Taylor’s best songs ever hidden in the album! I’m excited to watch you watch the tour (I think a lot of the songs will grow on you with a live performance), and… eventually watch you listen to fearless, speak now, and 1989! Thanks for all your work with reacting and editing these videos! This edit was really enjoyable and hilarious!
Laura Kimlinger
2023-02-24 14:55:13 +0000 UTC
Let me just say I loveeeeeeeee the second opinion you come in w while editing, the opinion of a song after the 2nd or 3rd playthrough is just as important as the first. I also really appreciate the real critiques that you give post 1st listen, cause some of the songs on that album were not it (hot take from the veteran swiftie ok) and that realization sometimes comes through after the fact. I loved the video and appreciate all of the work you put into your content.
PS I can't get over how 2017 this album is, it was definitely….a wild time for music to say the least
