I know..honestly her country days were better than now and its hard to understand why she never got the attentions she is getting these days back then..
This song reminds me of exactly what it's like to live with social anxiety when you feel like the entire world is judging you. I related to the song so much when it first came out.
I have social anxiety too I feel the same way as you do I hate feeling this way and I sometimes tell myself to ignore it but then I go in public I just want a hole to open in the floor and eat me alive because I feel like everybody it's looking at me just to judge
This song has a totally different meaning for me, it has kept me alive for 2 years. I love you Taylor! You have seriously kept me from killing myself. I hope someday you will understand how special you are!
I look up to you... taylor is really helping me through my depression and she doesnt even know i exist which is so amazing I still self harm myself atleast every day.. taylor is such an amazing distraction i love her. This song and tied together with a smile is really my songs i can relate to. Taylor is the reason i have a reason to get out of bed to dance. She has an effect on me that noyone has
Her control is amazing and those high notes. Not only that Taylor gives a different feeling to every songs she sings its as if u can feel her true emotions just by listening to the song. Not to mention the lyrics, all her songs are well written.
I LOVE this song, and that part is without a doubt my favorite part of Taylor Swift's performance! I just love hearing her vocals, especially throughout those 33 seconds in the original. It's a big part of why I came to search to see this live performance, and see how Taylor Swift controls her voice while she sings this part of the song :)
honestly same. I want my kids and practically a whole generations of my family to love Taylor bc if not I'm gonna rise from my grave and scare them every 1 AM 24/7
for those who say she only writes songs about her exes. In your face!!! This song is a great advice and it means even more knowing that she wrote it. I love Taylor and her music speaks whether its country or pop, She sends a great message
At the time this song was released I just assumed Taylor got inspired by The Hunger Games storyline, but now with everything we know about her anxiety and battle with living in the public eye this song hits so differently. She is so freaking talented and I LOVE HER!
Yeah , the lyrics sound like it was inspired completely by The Hunger Games perfectly befitting Katniss's perspective. I think they also are metaphorically fitting of how it may feel living in the limelight, being observed, judged, rated, everybody watches, waiting for your downfall, some are wishing for it, some are actively encouraging it, and some are blatantly, delightfully, attempting to bring it about. Keep your eyes opened, and be aware, that there are those who live to tear others down, usually behind their backs, and you won't see them coming if your guard is down.
This is so underrated. How is does this not have a thousand views!!!!!! Whoever says Taylor Swift can't sing after seeing this needs to get there ears checked cause this is gold
KITSCH JING Two things. 1. Who Cares is the name of the person that posted this comment. 2. If you don't care, then go on and stop responding to it. Get over it and don't get butthurt.
Stacy S people who don't like her are just jealous Jealous of her success. Like three of her 5 albums selling over 1.000.000 in a week. I think perry is one of her haters
Profound performance. Excellent. I have no idea how I missed it a few years ago, but I am exceptionally glad I found it tonight. The song, the words, the arrangement, is such perfection - an exact depiction of Katniss in the first Games (and subsequent others as well). Well done Taylor. You captured the essence of Katniss in song.
I wonder why hasn't more people seen this vid ??? One of the best vids ever IMO, yet few have seen it. The whole show is on VH1(not this song), but I never go there. Really wish the whole show was here.
When I heard Taylor was doing the soundtrack for the Hunger Games I was really excited because she is my favourite singer and that was my favourite book at the time but then i go into the movie and they only play ONE of her songs and it was the second song played in the end credits!!!
Her live of this is bone-chilling. I first heard this song from this performance and I cannot listen to the original recording because this live BLOWS IT out of the water.
I love all Tay's different styles of singing, this one, especially has such a unique sound, it's really impressive. All her songs and styles are though, just never really heard this song until a few weeks ago. It is really very under rated.
Its like she’s not only writing this song about Katniss, but also about herself. (Which makes the song so much better). Because she has said many times before, that she is in her 20s and that’s normally the time where people make mistakes and figure things out. But she’s not allowed to make mistakes because the media always watches her. So she’s like “I gotta keep my eyes open you know?”
I just want to tell everybody, if you have any hate speech about Taylor, I would delete your comment, please be nice :) Have a nice day
Thanks! I agree
I agree with this so much
THE BEST COMMENT I'VE EVER SEEN I'm so b happy
EXACTLY tell em
Lov ya😭😭
This song is so underrated..
lilyclaaark Indeed
Yes it is!!
And its one of my favorite song of hers
Needs more attention
Truuuu
It kind of reminds me of “Only the Young,” like just a little bit.
True!
this is def one of her strongest vocal performances, i love this so much.
Finally someone from this year, and I agree
100% slayed, people who think that taylor can't sing need to listen to this!
Roseline Natasya imagine her next album
@@taylorquinn365 well
this type of great performance gets lesser attention than those bad ones
So true!!!!!!
agree
I know..honestly her country days were better than now and its hard to understand why she never got the attentions she is getting these days back then..
+nostalgia i think because last time ... internet is a new thing? and social media is also a new thing?
+nostalgia She did get the attention as much back then. It just seems like now she's more talked about because internet.

I was waiting for this comment 👍 I relate so much
Amilya H True! 😔✊
Yeah, it's so emo . Some people judge us
@@adamariam6327 I have social anxiety too and I relate this so much
This song has a totally different meaning for me, it has kept me alive for 2 years. I love you Taylor! You have seriously kept me from killing myself. I hope someday you will understand how special you are!
good for you 💪👏👏👏😘
Love and light to you beautiful!
Emma Howie I'm so proud of you! Hope you get amazing things in life!
Same 😭😭
I look up to you... taylor is really helping me through my depression and she doesnt even know i exist which is so amazing
I still self harm myself atleast every day.. taylor is such an amazing distraction i love her. This song and tied together with a smile is really my songs i can relate to. Taylor is the reason i have a reason to get out of bed to dance. She has an effect on me that noyone has
she sings so naturally
Her control is amazing and those high notes. Not only that Taylor gives a different feeling to every songs she sings its as if u can feel her true emotions just by listening to the song. Not to mention the lyrics, all her songs are well written.
i think she's so vocally strong in this and safe and sound but she doesnt perform them as much bc they arent as popular but they are SO good.
2:38-3:11. wow. Her vocals are INCREDIBLE. This and all too well at the Grammys 2014 are my favorite performances of her 💗
I LOVE this song, and that part is without a doubt my favorite part of Taylor Swift's performance! I just love hearing her vocals, especially throughout those 33 seconds in the original. It's a big part of why I came to search to see this live performance, and see how Taylor Swift controls her voice while she sings this part of the song :)
I love red at cmas and I did something bad at AMA
i am soo gonna grow my future kids to love her and obsess over her like i have
Men I'm so afraid that my kids won't like her... How are YOU going to do that?????
+Μαργαρίτα Πανταζή listen to music of hers when your kid is a newborn.
honestly same. I want my kids and practically a whole generations of my family to love Taylor bc if not I'm gonna rise from my grave and scare them every 1 AM 24/7
I wish none of you have kids.
This comment deserves more than this :D
This is 100 times better than the studio version. Whenever I wanna listen to it I just go straight to this video 😂
same
Listen to taylor version then ❤
i disagree. she sings all the vocals on the studio version. no hate to her back up singers, but i prefer 100% swizzle ...
@@jtoffalmanglerLet's agree to disagree, because I think this is 10x better than the studio version 😊
The Taylor's version takes the cake just wonderful
to everyone who says she can't sing
camEEla cabeYo I think that's the prove that she can sing also another prove in making song don't blame me video.
@@kishuavalencia-j7843 exactly
Why am I only hearing this song now? That performance was honestly beautiful
Have you heard her Grammy performance of All Too Well. It is stunning and beautiful.
Are you a Ravenclaw?
for those who say she only writes songs about her exes. In your face!!! This song is a great advice and it means even more knowing that she wrote it. I love Taylor and her music speaks whether its country or pop, She sends a great message
Well I mean this song was for the Hunger Games soundtrack so it kinda can't be about break ups but I agree it does send a great message
Amen, preach it 💖 X
+sannia I can literally name so many songs that aren't about her exes
+Melanie Herald yeah, i can too I'm just saying this song can't really be a breakup song since it's on the Hunger Games soundtrack
like simu liu said, she has a song for every situation
At the time this song was released I just assumed Taylor got inspired by The Hunger Games storyline, but now with everything we know about her anxiety and battle with living in the public eye this song hits so differently. She is so freaking talented and I LOVE HER!

I love her tones the lower range the raspy voice ,the parts that give me goosebumps
This is one of my fav live video of taylor. She just sings so beautifully, she really has a incredible voice.
Wow,her vocal control is soo good
That old wooden guitar brought so much nostalgia... Taylor had donated it, proud of her that she's willing to do that
Her voice😍
+Prototype The JB Hunter (ӾⱠⱤ8) Np ^^
this is the best song of the musical trailer of the movie, ever
This is so underrated. How is does this not have a thousand views!!!!!! Whoever says Taylor Swift can't sing after seeing this needs to get there ears checked cause this is gold
This song is sooo underrated
3:19 The instruments explode at ya! Love this song and performance; wish she performed Eyes Open more often!
screw them haters. they're gonna keep saying she can't sing cause they know she can
Taylor just came from the song you wrote for Little Big Town. What an amazing song A Better Man is. You are still country deep down in your soul.
Yes I know that just showing appreciation to a great artist. But Thanks for pointing that out.
donna easty I hope she sees you comment. Don't let these people bring u down :)
Thank you.
NOW WHO SAYS SHE CANT SING AND HAS NO TALENT?
Only haters would (Kimye supporters)
+Elizabeth Clarke Exactly
Who Cares She is not using them. Her album last year was terrible in my opinion. I like her ealier stuff
KITSCH JING Two things. 1. Who Cares is the name of the person that posted this comment. 2. If you don't care, then go on and stop responding to it. Get over it and don't get butthurt.
KITSCH JING Im not telling you to do anything. If you wanna keep going, sure do your thing. Im out.
i miss her band
Me too
they're still.. here??
moni some of them left
They are back again for fearless re recording
@@casper8849 how do u know
the world doesn't deserve this performance.

You are wrong

One of her best live

the contrast from "keep score" to "keep your eyes open" is so magical, beyond words, let alone the bridge.
love their set up on stage.
She's one of the few singers who sound just as good live! :)
There are plenty of singers who sound just as good live
She sounds better
true and it sounds exactly the same even better
This bridge is just hauntingly beautiful, it still amazes me to this day
So, she can't sing? If you think that, please go and watch again this performance. Minute 3:06 just vocal goals😍
The reason she sounds so good is cuz she actually doesn't use on her CDs so basically what you hear is what you get
what do you mean she doesn't use her CD's?
lindastl
I think she means Taylor doesn't autotune, and she also keeps how she sings live about the same as on CD, which is awesome! :)
i'm pretty sure taylor uses autotune: she said so herself :> just sparingly though :P
Elodie Frost when did she say that?
Elodie Frost I literally have read all articles that she talked.. none of them mentioned that, where do you get that?
She's releasing Taylor's version of this!
i miss the agency. i hope taylor will have them again for the next album.
2:59-3:10 THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITES 🤩
she killed it
She has NEVER sounded so amazing live
+Aditi Debnath whatch 2014 all too well performance
+Darko Radovanovic this performance is a lot better than all too well
bubi yong Maybe idc i personally prefere this performance too
And that the fact that its a different song that what she used to sing, making it more difficult
maybe you're deaf.
Best live performance ever !
SHE'S SO TALENTED i love her so much
Just found this video today. This is one her best live performances I've ever watched! Perfect.
she sounds SOO GOOD. even better than the studio version!!!! THIS WAS AMAZING I LOVE HER SO MUCH
This might be my favorite live Taylor performance. She absolutely killed it
that guitar. ♥
This is the best performance that ive ever listen to
I love this country version, hopin' that she released Eyes Open (Country Version) (Taylor's Version) too 🥹🫶🏻🧣
her vocals woahhh
This is the best live version ever
The only live version of this song
SHE CAN SING...
She's my inspiration everytime I write poems & love stories
Chills running up and down my spine
This is my everyday anthem. It’s perfect with Taylor’s angelic voice. It makes me emotional crying every time I listen to it ♥️
flawless
I love this song. I wish this song would've played in Catching Fire!
THIS SONG IS SO GOOD 😭😭😭😭
always beautiful Taylor .. sending kisses from Manila! 😙❤
l just know this song last week And l'm swiftie for 3 years lol This song is my taste for sure
prove!!!!! her voice was magnifecent
She sounds so good here 😍😍
I love this song!!! The transition from chest to head voice in the bridge proves that Taylor can actually sing.
now we have taylors version🤧🤍
This song inspired me. Thanks a lot Taylor
Most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
I wonder why hasn't more people seen this vid ???
One of the best vids ever IMO, yet few have seen it.
The whole show is on VH1(not this song), but I never go there.
Really wish the whole show was here.
I just know this song last week
And I'm swiftie for 3 years lol
This song is my taste for sure
to me this is one of her best performances vocally honestly
who else agrees that this is one of her best live performances ever
Taylor....
Amazing.. I love this one more than studio version.
Absolutely LOVE this song! Probably my top 3 fave of hers!
l just know this song last week And l'm swiftie for 3 years lol This song my taste for sure
I'll say that this is really underated and overlooked too!!
I love that anything she puts out turns golden. Rock, country, R&B, or folk its all amazing. Love her.
This performance gives me life 💞
i will die if she re-records this
How ya holding up
When I heard Taylor was doing the soundtrack for the Hunger Games I was really excited because she is my favourite singer and that was my favourite book at the time but then i go into the movie and they only play ONE of her songs and it was the second song played in the end credits!!!
Best Song Ever
Love U Taylor
Taylor is magic
Her voice is soooo amazing! This performance is amazing!
I can't believe I have only just watched this for the first time... had tears in my eyes... absolutely magical!!
taylor really outdid herself for her hunger games songs
She just sang this live
Love you Taylor Swift ❤️❤️❤️
can i just say how good her vocals were and how pretty she looked from 0:00 to 3:57.
Taylor Swift Forever and Always.
Her live of this is bone-chilling. I first heard this song from this performance and I cannot listen to the original recording because this live BLOWS IT out of the water.
a Tay and the agency classic, great song writing too ;)
I love all Tay's different styles of singing, this one, especially has such a unique sound, it's really impressive. All her songs and styles are though, just never really heard this song until a few weeks ago. It is really very under rated.
this is my comfort performance. i love it so much.
Who’s listening to this masterpiece in 2022
Its like she’s not only writing this song about Katniss, but also about herself. (Which makes the song so much better). Because she has said many times before, that she is in her 20s and that’s normally the time where people make mistakes and figure things out. But she’s not allowed to make mistakes because the media always watches her. So she’s like “I gotta keep my eyes open you know?”
She's literally amazingly amazing!!!!!!!😍🤩👍
I have never cared about what haters think... To me Taylor swift is the best..... My idol
I come back to this performance every couple months. Makes me tear up every time. Wow.
her voice is so *beautiful*
