FORMER TAYLOR SKEPTIC REACTS TO THE ANTHOLOGY - TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT ALBUM REACTION! | PART TWO

That line in the ThanK you aIMee chorus, "All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something" is such a classy way to tell someone they've wasted their life being a miserable person and trying to drag others down with them, and that even in that they failed. XD

I can't wait until she listens to Reputation.

I can't wait until you listen to Reputation, and you've gotta watch the videos for that album too! They're amazing!

Still waiting for more Taylor reactions from u I keep watching these over and over lol

When she says she miss the smoke it could be the smokey bar.🤔🤷

She likes the “levitating” feeling of “The Albatross”, SHES GOING TO LOVE EVERMORE!❤

Cassandra is from Greek mythology. She fell in love with Apollo who gave her the gift of prophecy. She refused. It angered him so he and his father, the king, cursed Cassandra so even if she told her prophecies they wouldn't believe her. She tried to warn their town, Troy, that itd fall during the trojian war. She later died at the hand of Apollos father.

Loved your break down of this album.

I think Kim bullied Taylor, like bad.

Cassandra is a Greek mythology character

Man you are so spot on. Peter=Matty. Cardigan. Peter losing Wendy. He’s been part of her story for a long time.

"Cassandra", greek mythological Cassandra was a seer cursed to see the future but never to be believed, she witnessed the future fall of Troy. Taylor is Cassandra, cursed to see the bad men/people around her but never believed?

"Peter", from Winnie the Pooh ("way to go tiger" is Robin rooting on Tigger), a just "ruler" of the forest. ALSO her producers sons name is Robin :)

"The Manuscript", the song is looking back at her time with Jake "the actors hitting their marks" is her directing the music video for All Too Well 10 Min Version MV. What you say about ut being for the fans I believe is correct, and when she says its a last gift from her trip to our shores, I think is referring to touring and how ATW used to make her cry all the time, and then the fans cheered her on and sung through the song with her and turned it into something else. Now, ATW10MV is a gift to the fans. She dug up the 10 min version for us, and gave it special treatment as a thank-you.

Robin: I think this song is about keeping your innocence. Something Taylor has talked about in several songs and how she feels her innocence was lost way to early. To me this is kind of a love song to her younger fans.

Albatross is a weight or burden

you clocking the 1830s importance yes!! That was the decade in which the English Romanticism ended and the start of American Romanticism

That explanation of So High School is interesting, especially when you add the line about her hearing voices, like it might be external voices who are doubting the relationship, or an internal voice of her personal anti-hero.

Rep is bc of Kim I think ❤

Girl, it's not literal Windows 😂 it's social media

I just love your reactions and breakdowns! Thank you for taking your time and not rushing your way through these albums. Love your channel you are killing it!!! I love the whole double album, but I think I'm leaning towards the anthology as my favorite. I am an Evermore stan so that could be why ❤

Mad Woman=Cassandra

She gets to be So High School within a very grown relationship. Literally football games with her friends, and running on the field when he won. It’s got feel so young and grown. I love it.

I feel like the 1830’s without racists and married off for the highest bidder refers to even if she got to chose there just isn’t an answer for here/Earth, so 1830 fashion but not what then 1830s actually was.

I am a middle aged white woman so I am coming at it from a poetic angle but can see how it would take someone aback.

Ohhhh 1830, Clara Bow was the it girl then!!

The Kim Kardashian of it all. You should dive into that for sure! She’s pretty literal in that song. Taylor moved and was out of the public eye for like 6 years over it. She came back with Reputation which was very bad ass and brought a whole new audience to her.

the other girl is KATY PERRY. Please react to her discography too!! Thank you.

As a parent, I immediately got Robin. It’s about all the ways we try to protect our kids and encourage them to be themselves. I was snuggling my mini-Swiftie when I heard it the first time and wept like a baby.

Thank you so much for your honest review- I think that you should look at some of her mashups that she has been performing. I hate it here x the lakes is a perfect fusion of songs

PLEASE LISTEN TO SPEAK NOW

You most definitely need the Kanye/Kim lore before you go into Reputation 👏🏻

Robin was writen for a little kid. It did seem a bit random including it in TPD considering the other songs. LoL

I got it cause I have a blood thirsty toddler roaring around my house. lol

“Sitting in a tree D-Y-I-N-G” is a nod to the children’s rhyme “sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G”

For the marry kiss or kill me lyric I think what she means by kill is like death do us part. That’s what I got by it or like you’re like I’m dying by how good youre treating me.

Youre SO smart! This is my first video of yours and I loved!!!! Liked and subscribed ❤

Fiona apple also had a "get you back" song that did the double meaning back in 2005 and i recommend that album and her works prior to that). That song was called "get him back" on " extraordinary machine".

Robin is actually about Aaron’s( one of her producers) child(robin).

I think the "poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy" is T.S. Eliot, whose day job was a bank clerk, and who often took a whole year to write a poem.

Best laid plans in hoax, best laid plans in the black dog... 😭

OMGGGG, I LOVEEEEE these reactions! I think it would be fun if u reacted to All To Well (10 minute version) or All to well the short film❤❤

An albatross is a very large white seabird. 2. countable noun [usu with supp] If you describe something or someone as an albatross around your neck, you mean that they cause you great problems from which you cannot escape, or they prevent you from doing what you want to do. [disapproval]

That is referring to herself and her past relationships and how she’s moving to a new relationship (Travis) and him being warned bc of her reputation.

In regards to Cassandra, in the illiad there was a character named Cassandra who was cursed to speak prophecies that no one would ever believe and she tried to warn everyone about what was gonna happen but she was called crazy and I believe she was killed for speaking the truth

It truly is amazing how you are able to break these songs down and decipher the meanings on first listen through as a newer fan of Taylor Swift. I've been a fan of Taylor since her debut album, and even sometimes I struggle to get these songs sometimes. I love watching your reactions! 💖💖

Ur one of my fave reactors here

Cassandra is about the Kardashians. It's a joke that if you support them then you are on "Kris's payroll." Also, the Kardashians and Kanye are very Christian. In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan priestess fated to utter true prophecies but never to be believed. "So they killed Cassandra first bc she feared the worst and tried to tell the town" = Kim releasing the edited tape and nearly taking down Taylor's career. "So they filled my cell with snakes" = Kim and the snake day emoji. "Do you believe me now" = release of the full tape and Kanye's downward spiral, not only publicly but with the Kardashians

i know im late to the party but Robin is actually about Aarons child, which is called Robin. :)

I think the “kill” in marry kiss or kill lie is a death to us part call back.

I was eating Cheetos while watching this and I couldn't hear anything over my loud chewing lol😂

Not me thinking all the child-like references in “Robin” were symbolism for how the man was behaving childishly, but the song is about an ACTUAL child😂😂 I’m so glad you guys seem to be enjoying this video so far!!❤️❤️
