23:03 I see the 2 roses as Dakota found out about his previous wife & how she really died, so left one for her as a sign of respect for her not being able to escape him and as a thank you for sending her warnings, but keeping the other for herself as a symbol of her own chance to keep living after getting away from him.

17:59 This scene in the car was shocking in how accurate & scary it is to be trapped in that situation
2026-10-04 09:10
Today is the 1 year anniversary of "Life Of A Showgirl". People are saying that "Pink Clouding" is an apology to Tom Hiddleston. "Getaway Car" is also about him. He has never spoken bad about her after their breakup. He admitted in a (2017) GQ interview that he was heartbroken about the breakup.

Love your channel.
Have a great day!?

Just know,,,the video to Patient Zero is a must!!! Did anyone notice she was wearing Taylor's clothes, they both had the same rings, everything!!! Love ya'll❤❤❤
2026-10-04 08:15
TLOAS was about relationships and so is The Encore. The lyrics tell you about those stories. They are relatable to many people.??

Because Taylor is already dead at the start of this video, the line MY LIPS ARE SEALED TIGHT RIGHT NOW —before burial, the lips are sewed shut.
BUT IF HE’S KILLING YOU, I SEE YOU (ICU) where you go if you’re seriously ill
2026-10-04 07:44
Alanna hit every single nail on the head with this one ????????????????
2026-10-04 07:42
Patient Zero....my favourite since first listen. MV just enhanced it. So incredibly beautiful.
2026-10-04 07:38
I learnt a little fun fact about patient zero.
SO, the music video was rumoured to be inspired by the novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. In that, a young woman married a wealthy older widow and she discovers that them and their house is haunted by his ex wife.
Well there’s a scene in the music video (and the book mentions) with a long table… almost like the long table in the Tolerate It performance on the eras tour.
WELL, apparently in an interview, Taylor said she first read Rebecca and was inspired to write tolerate it from the current wife’s POV after in the book, the wife is trying to get her husbands love and he just tolerates her.
So TECHINCALLY tolerate it and patient zero could be listened to as a duo.. almost like the whole folklore love triangle…

Wife and daughter mean the same person.
2026-10-04 07:36
This song fits right with Dakota Johnson’s new movie “VERITY “.
2026-10-04 07:36
Cleveland is like ???????????☺️????♀️
2026-10-04 07:19
My favorite reaction. Thank you A, for being so vulnerable during these reactions in sharing your history.
2026-10-04 07:14
So the theory is that the opening fiddle is the opening sound from her speak now to her. There was a song about Joe Jonas on this album. It’s very possible she’s talking about Sophie Turner.
2026-10-04 06:58
You guys really nailed this one, thank you for this reaction! ?
2026-10-04 06:44
Pink Clouding is about rebound - Taylor’s rebound was Tom Hiddleston who was treating her wonderfully but she was not ready to move forward so she left - it broke his heart and this is her saying that she is sorry (arrow in grey rock means that she didn’t want to hurt him so she pulled back )
2026-10-04 06:44
I love them all for different reasons just like Alana said. I agree with you both in your comments and thoughts. The MV for Patient Zero had me glued to it and raging with everyone at the car scene. I love the fun in Cleveland. The rap section in Pink Clouding has me in a total chokehold, it's taken up permanent residence in my brain haha. Lastly Babylon I love the storytelling. Taylor does it again!!
2026-10-04 06:40
Really enjoyed this.
Thanks you two.?
2026-10-04 06:33
"Pink clouding" (or pink cloud syndrome) is a recovery term for an early phase of high euphoria and optimism after quitting an addiction.
Grey rocking is a communication tactic used to deal with toxic, abusive, or manipulative people by acting as uninteresting and unresponsive as a plain grey rock.
Hope that helps, guys!

Pink Clouding is the state of euphoria after getting clean it is most the dangerous time as you are likely to relapse as you think you are fully healed. Taylor got out of a bad relationship and then straight into the next relationship without being healed. think Getaway Car part 2
2026-10-04 06:13
I think the second rose is for herself...
2026-10-04 06:13
Idk what the internet says. I love The Encore! Have it on repeat!
Thanks for the safe space you create <3

I had a casual boyfriend I knew for a couple years in Virginia, then we both ended up moving to California separately, but living three miles from each other. He invited me to a party at his house. The following weekend, his current girlfriend called me out of the blue...found my number somehow. It was weird, but we ended up friends, and we have no idea what happened to our ex.
2026-10-04 05:27
Her Patient Zero lyrics are so good! When the toxins take their hold, you rather die than let it go. But if you’re sick of him, I got you, I was Patient Zero! ❤ Her Video is a Masterpiece! Taylor & Dakota completely parallel each other. Taylor's lips are sealed tight, so she ghosts Dakota, smashing her drinks. [Love she used the Tolerate It, table from her ERAS tour in a scene. But, why?] Dakota drank wine at the party, while everyone else had champagne. Dakota stumbles & sees a hazy vision of Taylor, heart racing, she vomits. Which may have saved her life. In the car, he berates her while smiling, then says, "I thought you were different. Different from who?" Taylor laying on the car, is an amazing scene. ❤ HE puts drops in her drink, but it's for Taylor, in her past life. Shows us why Taylor was smashing those drinks. The News Headline, "Heiress Dead"... Final scene, Dakota places 1 Rose on Taylor's Tombstone, below there's a photo of Taylor & him. But, Dakota kept 1 rose? Why? ❤ On the Tombstone, "Beloved Wife & Daughter"... dated; 1986 - 2022... we know, in 2023, Taylor's life "began again" with Travis. [Actors; Dakota Johnson, Colin Farrell, Taylor, and cameos by Cara Delevingne and a few cameos from others. Some were Travis' friends.]
>Cleveland! Haters recognize themselves in the mirror Taylor holds up in this song... as a FU to Haters of... TnT, TLOAS, Happy Taylor songs... as they want her heartbreak songs like, TTPD, or soms previous album. Travis took Taylor to Cleveland Heights" saying, HE chose ME to love. Travis is her LOML & she's wearing White! Haters will hate that... something "they" can all agree on. Cleveland, added ! to many iconic signs, when this song was released!
> Pink Clouding, when I MET you (@The Met), I convinced myself and you, that I was fine, when I was NOT. We met at a cursed Time (Ye & Kim). I still wonder how to tell you sorry. What we had didn't mean nothing, just 'cause I could leave it... [in a Getaway Car].
>Babylon, they leave looking for something better, then look back with nostalgia through rose colored glasses, never living in the present, until it becomes the past, and they end up losing ... "Babylon".
2026-10-04 05:27
Im actually waiting for your reaction guys❤?
2026-10-04 05:24
I just saw a BTS of Colin and Dakota fighting at the table scene. She screams, "Brendan Fraser was Tarzan!" and Colin screams, "No, he was George of the Jungle!" Funniest BTS I've ever seen.
2026-10-04 05:21
Just like Travis putting her on blast on New Heights podcast that he didn't get to give her the Swifty friendship bracelet with his # on it.
2026-10-04 04:57
Omg I just had a thought! What if Babylon is about Joe Jonas. They’re friends. She’s also friend with his ex Sophie. We know Taylor is friends with her. What if Patient Zero is loosely based on her perspective during the dying of her marriage with Joe. Taylor dates him years before and she didn’t like the ending!
2026-10-04 04:57
That's a good idea what if Taylor made this song for the end to move forward with Debut., Today is the 1 year anniversary of showgirl ????????
2026-10-04 04:54
The more I listen to this song the more I like it, Now I'm loving it..
2026-10-04 04:51
Look up pink clouding and gray rocking. It makes it clearer.
2026-10-04 04:46
Not the daughter. Wife and daughter are the same person. Taylor was the ghost of his first wife. It’s a fantastic statement against narcissistic abuse. I would love a full movie ! Taylor should do a screenplay!
2026-10-04 04:38
He poisoned them both -that’s why Taylor’s ghost kept knocking her drink over.
2026-10-04 04:37
Watching clips of Taylor Directing, It's a beautiful thing to be so smart knowing what you want your thoughts to come to life ?
2026-10-04 04:36
That's what I love about your platform you two make it feel safe from all the haters, When I see haters, I leave the platform.
2026-10-04 04:34
I love Encore and everything that comes with it.❤❤
2026-10-04 04:32
Thank you Kyle for being so kind to put all that together for us.
2026-10-04 04:28
Hello Alana and Kyle thank you for letting us enjoy this masterpiece of a cinematic video.
2026-10-04 04:26
I just know these beautiful souls will never be haters ❤
2026-09-29 19:16
One thing I have to share, and I’ve commented this in other reactions, so whoever did this first let us tag you for credit. But it said “Imagine booking the night train for a reason and waking up with your headphones gone” ? and I can’t unhear the Eras Tour mashup that never happened bc that would be fire. But the Champagne Problems x Babylon winks are cute if they do connect. Love you both for your reactions always!
2026-10-04 20:24
I need to re-listen to Cleveland because I loved it the first time I heard it, but it kind of lost its charm for me after about the fifth listen. It’s still a good song, though.
2026-10-04 16:33
I am glad that I finally found people who don’t hate these new songs. If you don’t like them, that’s all right, but many have started to say that maybe all this time Joe wrote her songs, which blatantly discredits her work all because you don’t like this new song.
It’s so annoying that people so easily credit a man for a woman’s work. Plus, I think they’re good songs; maybe some are not as strong as her past songs, but they’re still not ‘trash’.
I really enjoyed Patient Zero, Babylon and Pink Clouding. I understand some don’t, but people really need to stop discrediting her past writing. Plus the mv is freaking fantastic!!! ?
2026-10-04 16:12
its so nice to see you guys..being a swiftie is hard when an album release bc the haters get on the bandwagon...its sick and cruel, but like i just have to listen on my own and determine the music and the encore to me is fucking REMARCABLE. and i love creators like you just giving pure, honest opinions without all the noise.
2026-10-04 13:04
Alana!!! Your take on Babylon is on point!!!! Loved the way you explained it! ❤❤
2026-10-04 12:45
Ive only found out yesterday that people hated these tracks. Good thing I was never poisoned by their toxicity cause I loved these the first time I heard them :D
2026-10-04 12:17
Ok… so is nobody going to mention that she released 4 tracks. Not 2… not 3… 4… and called it a “disc 2”… I have seen ZERO people asking what the hell the Track 5 will be for disc 2….
I know there are other things she’s working on inevitably, and other projects we’d love to see released… but why is nobody asking about a Track 5? lol because I have a feeling it might be the track 5 to end all track 5’s….
Always her “most vulnerable” or “most emotional”, or “most personal.” SO much has happened for her lately… we really think there won’t be the best track 5 coming in this Post Eras Era of this Showgirl?
92% of me is proud that her guests, event staff, paparazzi, security… nobody has shared wedding pictures/videos/details… not one legitimate one. I am SO happy for her. “We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do! Wow.” I’m happy for her…
The only thing we have gotten from EVERYBODY is that the wedding was “magical”. Go back. Watch all the video snippets of Trav, Jason, Kylie, Donna, Graham freaking Norton… everybody uses the word “Magical.”
I think… not that I am asking for… but just that I have a feeling… that Track 5, may be called “Magic” or “Magical” or “It was Magical”, and will have either a video or lyric video from their wedding… or at least that cameos a legitimate shot from the wedding.
Then I think she will go have a nap ?
2026-10-04 12:13
I think "song" in Babylon is a metaphor for just "life."
2026-10-04 11:12
That’s crazy how you said your friends made plans trying to get you to change your mind cause I had friends that did the exact same thing. My two best friends actually did not come to my wedding. My one best friend told me that if I couldn’t change the date so her boyfriend could come then she wasn’t coming. I already had the invitations out and then my other friend chose to go to Memorial Day party instead of my wedding well guess what? I’m the only one still married. My one friend is on husband number five and my other girlfriend she’s been divorced for years and never remarried.
2026-10-04 10:59
You guys are "new" Swifties, you would probably get such a kick out of watching a comparison of even her interviews, her public appearances before and after Travis. It's literally night and day. She was always beautiful, well-spoken and poised. But only after Travis got in her life did she truly become herself. Her exes used to tell her that she is not good at making jokes, the media constantly poured dirt over her for being awkward, and she was constantly hated on for her jerky dance moves. So you can tell that in her past interviews she is holding herself together with such a huge effort, she tries to look perfect, speak perfect, and joke very very carefully. And now she is visibly relaxed, she's having fun, she has embraced her real sense of humor (which is absolutely fantastic) and her glitter, and she is just shining so bright.
2026-10-04 10:36
So glad you guys finally reacted!! Alanna we see you & love you diva??
2026-10-04 10:34
Just want to say i love you guys so much you guys truly have something special
2026-10-04 10:33
My thought on the second rose is that it's either for herself and her dead relationship, or possibly we can take a hint from the song "No Body, No Crime" - she k**led him.
2026-10-04 10:26
By the way this MV is a teaser of Dakota movie "Verity"❤
2026-10-04 10:22
By the way this MV is a teaser of Dakota movie "Verity"❤
2026-10-04 10:22
When they are swimming next to each other the one side is darker than the other bc she's a ghost.
2026-10-04 10:18
People are actually hating on Taylor right now Bc of Encore all 4 songs, When I see haters I leave the platform, I don't want to be around it.
2026-10-04 10:15
The people watching Patient Zero are Patient Zero.
2026-10-04 10:15
I LOVE the music video!! But my favorite song of all of these is Babylon. And also, I think she knows exactly what she is doing with songs like "Cleveland!" - she is rage-baiting her haters and they are for sure taking the bait.
2026-10-04 10:14
Yes she is a ghost in this video ?
2026-10-04 10:13
Highly recommend you check out Knox Hill’s reaction video to the Encore songs (he also did one for the Patient Zero music video!), his breakdowns of her lyrics are always fantastic & helped me enjoy Pink Clouding & Babylon more than I did originally!
2026-10-04 09:35
❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?
2026-10-05 05:57
As soon as heard this song I thought of the exact story you’re referring to Alana! ? I was like Taylor and Alana writing songs together now??! ? What a dream that would be ey?
2026-10-05 00:47
Love the Encore! Taylor is funny AF for releasing Cleveland! as an encore to this overly-hated album, she knew every single button she was pushing by including “And I have an important announcement to make, I’ve found mine!” ???
2026-10-04 23:39
Hi you guys ?? CAN YOU REACT TO DOLLA FROM MY COUNTY ?? 'UGLY'! MV ? It’s a dark, creepy, psychological masterpiece that is totally different from regular girl group concepts. The vocals and the plot twist at the end will literally blow your mind! ??? Hope you guys enjoy this song!
