LET'S WATCH: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (re-upload)

Track 5s are kind of like an inside joke with Taylor and her fans because in her early days she would put a song song or the saddest song of the album as track 5 and when fans pointed it out she talked about how it was unintentional but now it’s like a thing for every album

Seven should come with a warning, but a bittersweet one. It resonates for someone who survived child abuse. "House is haunted...your dad is always mad...come live with me, and we could be pirates, and you won't have to cry... or hide in the closet." It's heartbreaking but bittersweet because you survived, and there was someone there (childhood friend) who "can't recall your face" but still loves you. Beautiful!

Taylor: *opens her mouth* Troy: WOOOOW

Camila Barrientos

”And i was…entranced😐” she said in the most unenctranced way ever

fdill11

Oh no! Did you get it to play?

fdill11

This was so enjoyable to watch with you! And buddy, the mirrorball harmonies were absolutely delicious! Thanks for the fantastic content!

HollyO

This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve watched this video and it’s still the ultimate serenity experience ❤️ been a subscriber for over a year and would love something like your Mirrorball duet to open your streams

Kristen Norris

Her cats! Olivia is after Olivia Benson from SVU and she has Meredith after Meredith in Grey’s anatomy (who both make a cameo in the Bad Blood music video). And Benjamin is Benjamin Button - who also was on the cover of Time Magazine with her. ❤️

Kelly Heirigs

I've watched this so many times, but NEVER noticed the cameras! I feel insane lmao

I’m sure someone in these comments laid it all out somewhere in the comments but the reason for the anger behind her masters is because her manager had always talked trash about Scooter. Her manager told her he would let her have first chance to buy her own masters and then sold it to scooter behind her back. She heard about it from social media. My tears ricochet says it perfectly. He tossed out the good years and basically a family member for a cool $300mil. Shady shit.

My plants on a timer? Ok does anyone else think he grows weed 😂

Melissa Hawks

Have you done Eras Tour movie yet? Love all your side comments. I do really laugh out loud.

MarisolVG

Mirrorball (Troy and Taylor’s Version) went hard

Clara Hottinger

The Eras Tour film has the F word in there from Betty and champagne problems too

Ashley Castilleja

I’ve been binging you taytay’s content since I’ve joined your Patreon like 3 days ago and I think this is the last video 🥲

Margarida Gomes

I am extremely extremely late on this video but i just wanted to say how much i love watching other people discover Taylor's brilliance! 🥹 I wish the movie volume was louder 😢 luckily I have seen it before lol ❤️

LanaJulie33

This is the BEST reaction ever, I just love folklore so much, and you catching things here and there uuugghhhh amazing experience

carolina florez

I've seen the long pond studio sessions before, but rewatching it now years later makes me appreciate folklore all over again in a whole new way. That's my favorite part about Taylor and her music.. it's constantly evolving with us. Sometimes you wake up and put one of her songs on for the millionth time, but it just hits incredibly different that day.

Kaitlin Hays

I will never understand why Disney censored The Long Pond Sessions but not Deadpool. Make it make sense 🙄

Rose Wright

love love love you vibing as a fellow musician and nerding over guitar and bass. Made me so teary thinking people like you guys are who creates masterpieces!

Yunkai Li

Taylor Swift / Ryan Beatty collab of my dreams grows closer every day .... Justin Vernon pls help

binchiana

Epiphany just hits different in this. It goes from a song i really don’t care for, to reducing me to a puddle

Candace Tirado

Yes, she was more upset because they knew she wanted to buy her masters back and went behind her back to make this deal and never offered her the chance to match or outbid it, which is super shitty even in industry practice because if it really was about money Taylor would have paid the money but it was far more sketchy than that, she is well aware of how the industry works so people saying she's mad about the sale itself don't get it, there is more to it than that

Cassie R.

I think the hurt from Taylor about the masters comes from the fact that it was definitely purposeful and a power move. She would have paid any amount of money to own her masters but was never given the opportunity. It was all shady. She trusted Scott and he went behind her back to sell to Scooter so they could both make millions. They purposely slighted her to try to cash in for themselves. I would be really upset too if that were the case.

Emma

you stopping the video to comment on the velvet shirtdress is so me, I literally bought it in green immediately after I watched LPSS for the first time lmao

mads

Came here to say, in case no one has told you yet, her cats names are Olivia Benson (SVU character), Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy character), and Benjamin Button <3 .... and I personally have a cat named Samwell Tarley lol

Katy Quigley

Mirrorball is such a magical experience every time I see it. As is exile. What I'd give to see them perform that on stage. (I know they have, but like, I wanna be there. lol)

Jessica Tigner

Any...I repeat....ANY Taylor Swift content will be more than appreciated. I don't care if it's her eating and talking, I will definitely watch it 😁💜

Annie Lapierre

Exile was snubbed so hard for that grammy smh

Mia Maupin

"This is Me Trying" has gotten me through a lot of really hard times in my life. I have dealt with depression and anxiety my whole life and I grew up being told I was "ahead of the curve" in school and such, only to find the curve turned into a sphere and nothing ever felt like enough. It's one of my favorite songs ever written.

I'm new here! Hi! Highly recommend spending some more time with seven if your opinion hasn't changed. Those watching a childhood friend live in a traumatic household... I think your house is haunted... I think you should come live with me and we can just pretend that everything is ok! Thank you for your content. You're how I wish my boyfriend would react to TS, and I make him watch you. ♥

Liz Alykah

troy you notice everything because you are a virgo 😭😭😭😭

Olivia Lynch

I’m sorry that was a GUT PUNCH when you said “I’ve never heard of The National” did I misunderstand? Were you saying Taylor hadn’t heard of them?You can’t possibly be saying you have not heard of The National Yourself???

Kelly Semon

Troy your reactions make my day!!

Shannon Sandford

Just subscribed to your patreon while I finish my dissertation (its currently 1:30am haha). Have loved your videos and reactions for years, and appreciate your takes on music, in all it's forms. Thanks for being a musical friend on these late nights, Troy!

Mae

the fact that you can just happily jam to mirrorball instead of deadass crying is a mystery to me

Luisa Ramos

Oh no! For some reason I can't get this to play! Has anyone else had that problem? I'm so sad!

Literally Natalie

Her cats names are: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button

Ally ❤️

Paola

you had me crying and then lmaoing during this is me trying

cat kupper

hehehe with this subscription i swear to binge every one of your exclusive videos

Franziska Lai

This is really— late but I'm new, I actually grew up with the great great great something granddaughter of William Wordsworth! So that shocked me a bit when Taylor said hs name, as he's mainly a British known poet. NTM, I understand the want to live in the Lake District, it's a gorgeous place to visit now and then.

KazSpeaksFax

To piggyback off of littlemssunshine above in the comments, when her contract was up at Big Machine and she was shopping around record labels she could have signed to continue with Big Machine, a place where she was not fully supported (they really didn't want to let her go pop, she had to fight HARD to be able to release 1989) and slowly be allowed to buy back her previous work or sign with Republic Records with a deal that allows her to own her work and within her deal she was able to help other artists on her label i think with streaming compensation or something like that. So basically she could choose her past or future for her and other artists so she chose Republic and hoped that when Big Machine (Scott Borchetta) inevitably sold her masters, which she knew they would do, she thought she would AT LEAST be given the chance to bid on them. Then as we know, she found out with the rest of us that Scooter is the one who bought them. Also this reminds me of "mad woman" and I believe those lyrics allude to her three public enemies; Kanye, Scooter, and Scott.

Allison Carr

This is from last year so idk why I’m bothering to comment lol but I’m binge watching all of your videos since I just joined… but the whole Taylor studio thing is, I think, because she was signed at such a young age so she has almost always had a studio to record at but she does write a lot and work on some of the melodies, at home too. I think it’s a nice balance

Korinna Garcia

The problem with the masters is that she asked to buy her masters from Big Machine, and they refused to sell them to her unless she basically bought them back one at a time by recording a new album. I mean and also pay for it. She thought it was fucked that nobody else had to sign an album deal to buy her record masters so she refused. and then Scott sold to Scooter, who he knew bullied her through the Kanye thing. So that is where the betrayal is. It wasn’t that he sold them, it was who he sold them to Also he didn’t tell her directly. He told her that he sold the label, but he did not say it was to Scooter. She found that part out third party.

littlemssunshine

During lakes...I JUST realized she said "words worth" after talking about him being the inspiration. mind blown

kylee weaver

Troy, her cats are named after her favourite characters on screen Benjamin Button, Olivia Benson and another cat she didn’t show here named Meredith Grey!

Lauren Kaye Mallari

I'd rather you sing with Taylor tbh

Maher Bhavsar

Troy we need a cover of mirrorball right now

RR

LOL

Donna

Don't ever apologize for singing along to a song you love!!!! Also maybe you're experiencing confirmation bias with the weed thing .

Donna

Sorry did you say karlie? During man woman. Cause man… let me tell you

Gracie

the camera's really jerky during my tears ricochet because the cameraman was screaming and crying and throwing up

Sarah Kim

it feels like we're on facetime

Sarah Kim

Legit thought Sean Evans would be the BEST person to interview Taylor ever. #taylorforhotones

Cassie McCallum

At 10:40 i got goosebumps

David Kastner

You should absolutely watch the behind the scenes of Luke Hemming's WFTTWTAF. He goes into depth about the songs, similar to how Taylor does.

Megan

Not only do the cats have human names, but they're named after humans! Meredith (Grey's Anatomy), Olivia (Law and Order), and Benjamin (Benjamin Button).

Kloey Ramey

The moment in mirrorball where you're both singing and your hand and Taylor's hand movements match perfectly LOL

Elizabeth Gulino

also love grass🍃

madelyn sheets

also love the duets

madelyn sheets

taylor’s saddest songs of her albums have been track 5’s

madelyn sheets

You should totally do reputation stadium tour one day 😍🖤

Torie Gatti

You're a bit mixed up on the masters issue. First off Taylor wanted to buy her masters from Big Machine but they would not let her buy them unless she agreed to sign another 6 album contract and she'd earn one master per new album she made for them. She decided to let go of her past and focus on her future but she was really hurt by this cause it was her hard work. She had accepted that her work was gonna be taken from her as a result of her not signing another deal with then. But then Scott sold it to Scooter Braun who she had told him she had issues with. He also represented Justin Bieber and Kanye West both artists who had said and attacked Taylor personally.

Kayla Duran

Please do the reputation stadium tour!!

Lindsay Strodel

please please react to reputation :)

Sarah Nehme

Really loved this video, really cool listening with a bit more backstory to the songs too!
