I watched the Rep tour movie last night! I never saw the show in person but I did see lots of clips on IG. This was a very good presentation of the show and I can only imagine how incredible it was to be there live. The energy in the room, especially during numbers like IDSB, Shake It Off, Don’t Blame Me, Love Story, etc. I really regret not going to a show (though my boyfriend said he would have been mad if we’d had to stand in the rain all night lol) so I will definitely try to catch her on her next tour.
My favorite part was the Long Live/NYD medley. Her speech beforehand thanking everyone who made the show possible, acknowledging the crew and people you don’t see. I work as a production assistant for tv and radio and I totally know how much it sucks to literally be putting in blood, sweat and tears into something and being the force behind a production even happening, having to stay behind after it’s over and clean everything up, and most of the time not even receiving acknowledgement for it. So it meant so much that Taylor actually thanked all those hard-working people behind the scenes that no one ever sees and then going in to play probably my all-time favorite song from her, I just started to cry. “I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind. The time we stood with our shaking hands and the crowds in stands went wild... hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you. I had the time of my life with you and I will hold on to you.” UGH JUST ALL THE FEELS 😭😭😭😭
Some critiques:
- Unfortunately Babe with Sugarland was cut out unless maybe it will be released on some sort of special extended edition? That would have been really cool to see. I imagine maybe it was filmed but perhaps will get released on some other medium, like her YouTube channel or special extended edition. Just so odd they cut it from the movie.
- I normally don’t like commentary during concert specials, I just like to see the concert uninterrupted, but I think it would have been cool to have some BTS footage showing how they came up with the ideas for the production and stuff. But I guess that would ruin the magic and the whole point of the Rep era was to let the music speak for itself.
- I also would have liked if they had more footage from other shows like with the special guests and the other surprise songs she played. Maybe that stuff will be included in the tour music video (like Fearless, Sparks Fly, Red, and New Romantics)
- I prefer when the song titles are included on the screen. I know all the songs but it makes it feel more complete to me.
Overall I really enjoyed it so much and this is a great treat for fans who didn’t get to see the show. I also like having an official tour movie for all her tours (too bad Red’s was never released)

I remember when you (and I) wondered if the show would be any good considering the dance moves and earlier performances we saw. I had already bought tickets but still wondered. Of course it turned out to be epic. What was great about it was Taylor herself. I realized I had kinda been conditioned as to what to expect from watching so many vids on YouTube, etc. I was surprised to see the stuff that usually never gets released. The ad libs, jokes, banter and small talk. She’s not always on script. Even this Netflix show edited out most of it. Occasionally she’ll come out of “character” and you can glimpse the real girl. One thing is for sure, she has a real talent for getting 50-60 thousand people to hang on her every word. We were all eating out of her hands like little puppies. LOL.

I did love how they kept the tissue moment in there though lol
I think something Taylor has always been great at, and many critics have noted this, is that she can make thousands of people feel like she’s singing just to them. It’s something she’s always done well, like making each person there feel special and making even the person all the way in the back of the stadium feel like they’re in the front row. That’s a big part of why she is so successful IMO. And yeah her speeches always grab people’s attention.

I don’t follow Taylor closely but do enjoy her music, but I completely believe in her as a person more than any other celeb. Even Avril who I’ve been a big fan of and followed closely for 15+ years, Taylor seems more genuine to me, and this is without knowing a huge amount about her. She just seems a normal girl not hugely changed by the celebrity life around her and it’s so likeable.

The speech before Dancing With Our Hands tied is amazing and so true.. She could experiment with her music, cuz fans were and still are into her lyrics. Her way of writing is still the same, of course a little more mature when she started, now she puts more sexaul lyrics, but she is still the Taylor who writes about her life, feelings.

DWOHT is so beautiful acoustic. Like she said, even when you strip the song down, the lyrics are still so vulnerable and poetic. “I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us” <—— such a great lyric and really shows how scared she was.

I get the feeling #7 could be stripped down. It would be great to see her in smaller venues and with just her old band. Not sure she would do that though.
