A lot of people still think of Taylor as a young girl singing Love Story or Shake it Off. It’s like she’s been frozen in the public image as a forever teenager. But she’s a grown woman in her 30’s making mature, intelligent music. You should check out her Midnights album,  particularly Lavender Haze and Anti-Hero. And from Folklore, the song Cardigan.

This performance is always my favorite reaction video. It never disappoints. It never got radio play. Unfortunately, most of her singles & hit songs turn people off to her music & make them not want to dig further. "Popcorn songs" as you call them. She calls them "glitter gel pen songs".  There are a lot of other live performances that are just magic - a lot have been suggested here. If you want to really dig in and find out who she is as an artist, I'd recommend staying away from her hit songs/singles. Would love to see you react to Cornelia Street & Death By a Thousand Cuts from the Lover in Paris concert. Just Taylor, her guitar, and a room full of adoring fans.

When she belts out after the choir, I get chills….every time! I love this performance!

One thing that I've enjoyed as I've become a new Swiftie is the way she isn't afraid to dip her toe into different genres.  She isn't afraid to try new things and take risks.  Someone who can go from writing songs like Don't Blame Me and Ready For It to writing songs like My Tears Ricochet and Peace is simply a genius.  I think she's the best poet of our time.  I'm just waiting for the rock album now.

I’d also suggest the 2014 Live Grammys performance of All Too Well.  Very different side of Taylor, but another performance that knocks it out of the park.

The older Tay gets, the better she gets. The re-records are so much better, arguably, than the originals, and seeing her live will always be better than anything on vinyl. Please react to ERAs.

It is on the Reputation album and it’s very good.  But, IMO, the live performance takes it to whole other level.

Taylor in her latest album LIFE Of A Showgirl, She has added to It, Clue's are still moving forward, we will see, It doesn't matter what it is I know I will love it ❤️

Keep the Taylor reactions coming, we love new fans! Taylor is a full rounded artist, she just has everything! Was lucky enough to see her live for the Eras tour, and she 100% nails this song and every song SOOO GOOD live! Would love to see your reaction of some of the Eras tour movie once released :)

My favorite part about being an actual swifty or a swifty in general at this point I suppose, is that what made Taylor such an amazing artist was her albums. the best songs on every single one of her albums, except maybe her first 1, we're not made into singles. so if you didn't listen to the album, You didn't even know these songs existed. And then you're just sitting over here in heaven. Listening to Taylor's albums and nobody else even knows.  
I don't know if I miss being the only person who knew about all too well. Or if I liked the fact that all too well has the recognition that it deserves. I have not decided on that.  that song was always my favorite Taylor Swift song. The lyrics hit me so deeply.

All that to say, all of Taylor's best songs were never singles.

except cruel summer. That song got it's day in the light like it should have!

There are a lot of different dynamics to Taylor & her music
She’s like multiple artists in one which is what makes her so amazing

They say she can’t sing, can’t dance, lipsyncs, and that all her songs are for little girls.  Those people haven’t listened to her since she was a teenager.  It’s all live vocals, live backup singers, live band, ace dancers, extreme production values.  And she always considers herself a songwriter who sings her songs.

Her album, "REPUTATION, " is a FU to her critics, Kanye West, Kim K. Katy Perry.. Anyone who came at her.
THE WHOLE ALBUM IS FIRE!!

I'm so glad you mentioned the dancers and Broadway connections. I didn't know that but it certainly makes sense.

Welcome to the Taylor fandom 😊 some recommendations:

- I did something bad from the rep tour
- exile (folklore) long pond studio sessions
- get away car

You would absolutely love we are never getting back together live from the 1989 tour and trouble live from the 1989 tour ! Her live performances are insane and these two have so much rock energy!

You know a song is good if while you listen, you make the stink face. 😅❤

Super great reaction,  Check out the "I Did Something Bad" live performance Awards show.  "Look What You Made Me Do" is a song mostly about spilling the tea on Kanye West and his now ex-wife Kim editing a recording that Kanye made when he called Taylor asking her how she felt about him mentioning her in his song "Famous"  at any rate when the song came out, Taylor spoke up immediately, the lyrics that she objected to were "I made that b!tch famous".  Kim posted the edited recording on social media and started calling her a liar and a snake.  Soon after Taylor received a lot of hate, Taylor disappeared for about a year.  From that drama came Reputation and the song Look What You Made Me Do.  About 3 years ago someone leaked the original call, Kanye had even filmed himself making that call and was grinning when he filmed it.  Kanye is Bipolar, but what he did to Taylor was pure meanness. "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

The thing to yell out on the Eras Tour right before that one elevated moment is "Take us to church Taylor!" Reputation is one my favorite albums (along with Folklore & Midnights). It is definitely worth listening to!

Also react to I Did Something Bad from her Reputation Tour Live!🔥🔥🔥
