This Taylor Swift Song Hit WAY Too Close to Home | A Hazed Swiftie Date Night | You Are In Love
Tonight… it’s something a little more personal 💜
Welcome to A Hazy Date Night With The Hayes where it’s just us, real life, real love, and a song that meant more than we expected.
In this episode, we’re reacting to You Are In Love (Taylor’s Version) from 1989 (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift… but this one turns into so much more than just a reaction. This was one of the most requested songs when we asked you what we should listen to for our date night, and now we understand why.
We start off the episode just catching up… life, kids, what we’ve been up to - just being real with you guys. And then we invite you into something a little different: ✨ An at-home date night… that you get to be part of
As we dive into this song, we talk about:
💜 What it means to really be in love
💜 The little moments that define a relationship (like 1am croissant runs 🥐)
💜 The poetic simplicity of Taylor’s writing and how she builds emotion through storytelling
💜 Why this song feels so personal to our own relationship
This episode also turns into a full-on Swiftie conversation:
👀 Is Rick actually a Swiftie… or not?!
📊 Updated rankings (and how his opinions have changed)
🎶 Taylor’s vocal range, songwriting style, and artistic choices
And somewhere along the way… we end up sharing pieces of our story.
By the time we hit the second verse and the bridge, this reaction becomes something else entirely: a reflection on love, timing, and those quiet, defining moments that only exist between two people who truly care for one another.
Rick even goes on a heartfelt rant about how powerful it is that Taylor could capture this kind of mature love so early in her life and career… and honestly, it’s one of our favorite moments we’ve had on the channel.
⚠️ NEXT EPISODE NOTE:
At the end of this video, we tease our next Taylor reaction... a long-requested song from one of our amazing supporters, Ashley Elliott. We also include a trigger warning, as the next song (“Ronan”) is deeply emotional and may be difficult for some viewers to listen to with us.

Absolutely I feel you Corinna! I still have the flowers my would be husband left me on the stove when he was house sitting for me while I was on vacation with my best friend 20 years ago. The first night him and I "hung out wrapping gifts", he told me I was dangerous and I never fully understood until our wedding 15 years later when he said in his vows "see, i told you all those years ago you were dangerous because I was fresh out of a 4 year relationship, and yet I seen a whole lifetime together with you in those beautiful blue eyes, and I knew you were my forever person." It also took us only 90 days to say "he loved cake, and I loved pie"....so Taylor is right, when you know, you know.
This lyric video gives me Little Mermaid vibes so hard lol Y’all put up the friendship bracelets!!! So I remember Katie saying she had some country music she wanted to share & I have a song to add to that list! Miranda Lambert Acting Up
Carina your hair & makeup is on point as always! 💁🏻♀️ Rick nice button up with the backwards cap👍🏻 I feel like such a weirdo telling y’all that you’re a cool couple like who am I lol Carina #girlhood yes keeping keepsakes is normal! I think anyway you can memorialize the special/little moments is wonderful & honestly when your memories start slipping when you get older they will be sparks to help you remember your life! 🫶🏻
As always thank you including us on this journey. I was watching a different wife/husband TSwift reaction & the dude spent the whole time like “I’m bobbing my head crap, this is ACTUALLY beautiful, idk why but something wants to stop me from liking her, im trying not to like her” i think you get the picture 🤨 so seriously THANK YOU to Rick (&Robert) for giving Taylor & her music a fair chance! 👏🏻
Thanks for the shout out! 🫶🏻 I heard you mention my name at the end of the episode and I’m currently hazed so how fitting. 😂 Timeless is such a good one! Thanks for letting all of us third wheel on your date. 💜
You two are so cute! Her live performance of this song on the 1989 tour and acoustic set of the Eras tour are both fantastic!
You guys are so cute. 🫶🏼 Also, emo Taylor covers are the best!
I've got your back girl! I've got a keepsake box with special items from my life, including my prom corsage. I've also got a few pressed flowers from special moments. It's a thing. My mom and many other women in my family have the same.
So you're getting a lot of the jokes we used to have on the popsicle sticks as kids or on the back of Laffy Taffy under the flap? Sympathies. In regards to the one, I can't wait for The Eras Tour Reaction and him seeing it live like that.
Here is Taylor and Mary J Blige on the 1989 world tour singing Doubt. https://youtu.be/GZ0474w66uw?si=j_l2WZefi-bWaJ7_
Here is Taylor cover Eminem 8 mile with Uncle Craker song mashed up. https://youtu.be/xLWpyRAaybU?si=aExzD3CHlaj1wyqh

Here is a cover of cruel summer by Teddy swims. Really good one. https://youtu.be/m6XwKBMsZk0?si=wVJRGLgRctpXuNPa
You should do more of these date night videos. It was great. Also I love Kelly and Taylor from the beginning. Kelly did a cover of clean and delicate too.
Love this watching from Oz 🥰 Teddy Swims does a couple of her songs and Taylor covering Phil Collins is beautiful.
The 1989 World Tour performance of this song was so good... hell, the whole Tour was good!
This!!! My favorite live performance... the whole stadium... from 1989 for sure...
Great job guys really enjoyed just the two of you doing this reaction.
