So many people were so confused about the lyrics! 😂 Youve never pretended you were fine when you were actually really sad or depressed?? I'm so depressed (maybe if there was a ' but' here it would help) I act like it's my birthday everyday. She's a huge musician who has to play shows for thousands of people every night no matter how shitty she feels. Lights camera bitch smile. Fake it till you make it. I can do it with a broken heart. She's miserable but still putting on her best performance.
The guy talking in the background is like the stage manager because she’s talking about being on stage in the Eras Tour
This song is such a masterpiece. I can't understand those who complain about the rhythm. That's the whole point! How she presented to the world and kept going 'business as usual' when feeling like dying on the inside. It's such a clever song.
Thabks for another video. I like that you talk about the production as i focus on lyrics myself and its nice to hear insight onbthe production. It teaches me to appreciate the mysic in a different way.
I think the lyric "i act like its my birthday everyday" is her pretending shes happy just to put a brave face on and fake happeness day to day (at her eras tour).
I think this poppy production is neant to be over the top happy on purpose. Because thats what the song is about, pretending and faking happeness to cover up a broken heart. The ivertop oroduction is so happy it sounds fake happy, if that makes sence.
Thanks again fir the content. Suoer interesting and educational!
She had to ACT like it was her birthday, because she was on tour already when the breakup happened. She still had to make it good for the fans; the show had to go on. Stagecraft, right?
She’s always a singer songwriter no matter what type of music it is
3:00 I love that you’re commenting on production more because you’re pointing out stuff I would have never thought about before so I appreciate it because it lets me appreciate Taylor’s music even more 🤌🏻
If you take it literal .. she was so depressed but jumping and acting like it was her birthday when she was performing.
I love your reactions. You should check out her lyric video because it has footage of her Eras tour. As others have said, this is about her performing with a broken heart.
Great review, been gone a bit but I’m back Thanks Jacob!
I took the line about her birthday as a reference to “All Too Well” and how she was so depressed on her 21st birthday because her boyfriend never bothered to show up. That’s why “22!” was such an upbeat song because she was redoing her birthday memories from the awful time of the prior year. It was a huge and happy party/video/vibe.
You gotta be into the Taylor swift “lore” to fully appreciate this song I think. I think it’s one of the best on the album because it captures such a specific feeling of attending the eras tour but giving us her perspective of faking it through because of the heartbreak she was experiencing over the summer. The song is perfection.
I think the birthday lyric is a reference to "Its my birthday and ill cry if i want to" by leslie gore.
It’s weird people don’t get acting it’s her birthday is to keep from falling into a pit of despair by using a day that supposed to be happy and exciting to make you get up and function – the whole fake it til you make it vibe
People always taking shit about her songs sounding the same .like how????.. the lakes and this do not sound the same worse yet so long london and this does not sound the same
as a life long swiftie, this song hurts so much. like she was suffering so much when we were all so excited. it hurts me
I don't know too many Swifties that are also Nine Inch Nails fans, but this song reminds me of "Everything" and "Less Than". Highly suggest everyone listen to those tracks.
I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday, everyday = Fake it till you Make it!
“I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day” like a massive overcorrection to give the illusion she’s fine
As you age you dont want your birthday to come because its depressing lol
It's a track 13, which are usually personable to Taylor directly. The fact that it follows loml correlates to breaking up from a 6yr relationship and immediately going on tour and performing. I love how this song makes me want to cry and dance simultaneously. 💔📸😁
I love your focus on music! I feel like we need this side of the discussion. There is a lot focus on lyrics but the production of these songs are 100% worthy of analysis.
this song is about performing at the eras tour after her and joe broke up
I’ve been really enjoying your reactions and I like that you focus on the production more. I feel so many people focus too much on Taylor the person and miss out on the actual art she makes. Because she’s so good at her craft. That’s why it frustrates me when people criticize her music then admit they have never listened to it because they read too much into what the media says about her.
This is about her being broken hearted during the Eras tour. Lots of little eggs in the song. Like she’s sad like it’s her bday is referencing her 21st birthday mentioned in All Too Well and other songs.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it but Taylor likes to follow up her most heart wrenching songs with bops. You can see this on some of her albums. For example on Midnights “Bigger than the whole sky” is followed up by “Paris.
I think the depressed birthday line has a couple of layers.
1. Hiding a depressive state by being outwardly over the top happy and excitable (think Robin Williams)
2. She mentions alcohol, drinking too much many many times throughout the album so possibly covering up her depression by acting like its her birthday drinking, partying every night
Sometimes when you’re so deep in depression, after many times, and working your ass off, you are faking it but also kinda delirious too 😅. Been there😂.
This song is like her inner monologue when she's performing on tour while also dealing with emotional turmoil lol. She's performing through the pain!
21st birthday depression when “he” was a no show
Love your reactions to ttpd! Sayville, NY here, pretty cool coming across your channel through TS of a fellow LI’er!
