Taylor is such an underestimated vocalist. The last 2 years her vocal technique has improved even more and that is why she can sing for multiple 3 hour shows every week and not lose her voice. Her vocal technique is excellent now, and she does have a huge register but she doesn´t use it so much partly because of storytelling and style reasons. Another reason why she is my favourite singer (apart from songwriter) is her vocal cadance and her vocal inflections, that is why I never get tired of hearing her sing, because she makes it interesting vocally too, not just lyrically.
You hit on something that gets missed so often, and it makes me feel crazy that it's not acknowledged. She literally does two new performances EVERY SHOW. Every 3+ hour show!!! That is literally insane. No one has ever done that. I doubt anyone else ever will. The tour has been going on so long now, people take it for granted. I forgive the public for not getting how intense that is for the performer. But other performers know. We need to give her ALL the flowers. It's a feat!
And the mashups!! Changing the key to the songs to match them on the mashups and remembering the lyrics of 2-3 songs and when are they coming in, which part is she gonna sing. Like its so impressive
I know! She’s singing songs from years ago, and she never forgets the lyrics. And watch her at award shows when someone else is singing…..she knows their lyrics, too! Crazy!
YES! all artists have the little screens with their lyrics bc like cmon it’s so many songs but she just has them all memorized. I really do think she has photographic memory bc the amount of fans she recognizes on the street/ her concerts it’s insane!!!
I think the difference with Taylor is she sees herself as a songwriter first that sings the songs she's written. She wants you to KNOW what she is saying, and the I think the main goal of her singing (which she does extremely well) is to impart the emotion of the words. You can hear how she was feeling when she wrote the song in the way she sings it. Whereas artists like Ariana are singers first and they want you to hear what they are singing, the words are secondary. The words, the meaning, and the emotion behind them will always be the most important for Taylor.
we all know she is not bey /ariana/ kelly but what makes Taylor is her putting her life in song ,her story building, her writing her relatability among fans. and thats why i admire and love other singer's work, nut i am fan of taylor. HER music is not just vocals or just writing, it has a whole arc
I’ve come to realise all kinds of voices are valid. I love flawless Karen Carpenter and also Taylor’s breathy vocals and the way her voice cracks. All welcome xix
I was watching live on a grainy live stream and I bawled my eyes out 😂 Taylor's different, it's her lyrics, her storyteller, the emotion in her voice and her angelic vocals, she really is the whole package
Ariana is a very impressive vocalist but she makes me feel nothing. Taylor is out there singing in an enormous stadium, with the same ole basic piano that she does for every song, and it’s so raw and real. Tears every time.
She writes her songs like this on piano or guitar before all the production. She’s said that she likes to be able to perform her songs acoustically like she wrote them. She also might have a photographic memory for music based on an interview I saw once where someone said she didn’t even write her song down that they wrote together and then released it 10 years later as a vault track.
Her ability to Mashup songs during the acoustic set amazes me. It has to be time-consuming to pick which songs and how to mash them together just perfectly. And to do so night after night. ❤
She said that the only thing she does between shows is thinking whet she's going to play for surprise songs so yeah she kinda rehearsal ( I WAS THERE 😭😭) SHE DID FLORIDA LIVE IT WAS CRAAAAAZY
Her singing this song the last night of her London tour is so sad and beautiful at the same time. I’m getting choked up listening to her. Yes her voice is unique and heartbreaking and lovely all together. Great reaction!! 🔥
the way you described taylor’s vocals is absolutely perfect, and i never thought of it that way! i actually think that’s a huge reason why she’s always been my favorite artist and why she’s always had my favorite vocals out of anyone despite them not being as high or “impressive” like ariana or chappell. the way she pronounces words, enunciates them, and adds emotion is unmatched! reminds me of in Miss Americana when her and Brandon are recording ME! and she’s trying to voice coach him on how to sing “me” so that you’re like sighing out and he just couldn’t get it and even in the song if you listen to his part he doesn’t do it like she does in the doc lol i always thought that was so funny
It’s crazy when you think, not only does she do something different every night. She does TWO acoustic options, often with mashups, her mind and work ethic is off the charts.
@@mk21718my favorite song of hers and that performance of it is everything. I have like 3 different videos of it saved to my phone so I can listen to it whenever I want
to answer your question at 5:10, it's a combination of both. she is constantly rehearsing and practicing. she has mentioned at points before that between shows she spends a lot of time coming up with the surprise song mashups and stuff and perfecting them. but she also just kind of has them on hand acoustically because she writes every single song acoustically before they work on production. no matter what it ends up sounding like at the end, it was always originally composed with either just a guitar or just a piano, so a lot of these surprise song performances are similar to the 'first draft' of the song
Taylor's eras tour starts again December 18th. You should watch it live stream like I do, You will not be disappointed, Taylor does a awesome job, Her performance is like no other.❤❤❤❤
Playing this song live for the first time in a higher key is also commendable. She does it a lot for the mash ups, which makes sense as it makes it easier to blend songs. But here, here it was just because. And the result is even more haunting than the original.
Taylor said on tour that she sits at home at night after doing the night's work, She said she sits and thinks about what her fans would like to hear from her the next night for the mashup.
at around 5:15 you talk about her varying the songs each night. This is something she's done on every tour; but in the early ones she did covers (every type of music: rap, gospel, rock, country, whatever she decided she was in the mood for. ) Playing them stripped down with just a guitar or piano, she can simplify the arrangement and concentrate on the singing. And, she could count on her fans to sing along. She seems quick to pick up the chords she needs; if she needs any help figuring out a song, her band has outstanding musicians. Paul Sidoti (lead guitar) has been with her since she was 17; he's some 18 years older . Taylor was always the youngest person around, by several years. That might even still be true -- I don't know know who all is in it anymore. She was aware of the flaws in her voice and when she was a teen, she nearly always had a male harmonizing; Nathan Chapman in studio, Paul Sidoti on the road. It gave a deeper tone, and made her sound less like a tween or a David Seville character (The Chipmunks animations). She could sing where she was most comfortable. there are some sites on youtube devoted to those cover songs and guests at the different shows. One is Taylor Swift Tour Extras, if I remember it right; fan videos of specific songs.
I'm not sure if you have done many of the lyric videos to the new album. However this song and "LOML" "Peter", "The prophecy" so many more would blow your mind
So true about Ariana. It's the same way people talk about mumble rappers.... I call her a mumble singer 😂. I don't know what she's singing about half the time.
I agree that Ariana is vocally better than Taylor, I like some of her songs, but I can't listen to only her songs like I do with Taylor. I think the way Taylor adds little things like Dom said is the trick to me.
oh, she definitely rehearses for it. like she probably rehearses different songs with a different intensity, if it's a song she used to play a lot in more recent past then she probably runs it once or twice and she's good, but especially if it's either a really old song that she hasn't played many times or a new song, especially from evermore, Midnights or TTPD, she would rehearse it more thoroughly imho
she's a perfectionist, I bet she rehearses and each song has a meaning. She sang Suburban Legends in Rio de Janeiro's suburbs, Mary's Song in Amsterdan was funnily clever too
I watched this live stream and I have never cried over this song but I did then. It is unbelievably heartbreaking with just the piano. I love these acoustic sections and surprise songs. This was night 7 but it really felt like the last night. Most of her songs start out on guitar or piano when she's writing them so it's not hard to translate them.
She once said she writes every song acoustically on the piano or guitar, so she already knows how to perform them that way, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she rehearsed them alone in her room wherever she’s staying the night before.
Just saw this! there is this video that is Taylor Swift Being a Composer, Melody Writer and Producer for 45 Minutes Straight by redwoodheart. It's a need to react!!
Sir I'm about to blow your mind because I went through your Taylor playlist and what I'm not seeing that you should absolutely check out is "dress" live from the reputation tour! Why oh why have you not done that???!
I am curious about how she's protecting her voice during this tour? 3+ hours every night, 3 or more nights a week for weeks on end. With just the occasional week or two off. How has she not ruined her voice? I know she may not have the "best" singing voice, when compared to other singers like Adele, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, etc. - but I really love her voice and find it perfectly suited for her music. Her voice has so much character and is so suited to her storytelling style of music.
I read that she basically doesn’t speak during the show blocks unless it’s absolutely necessary. So she texts and writes things down rather than even speaking. Travis said it made getting to know each other a bit challenging. Ha.
She's not the most powerful. But she is good. Especially now. But sometimes all the fancy runs etc just take away from the SONG itself. I mean who knows what makes a star but it's like to me a dose of 1 thing you do AMAZINGLY well and then 5 other things you're pretty damn good at. For Taylor I think she's amazing at writing songs that make you FEEL it. I think she's pretty damn good at: singing, playing instruments, marketing/business acumen, showmanship/performance/stage presence, and being attractive. I think she's not great at dancing at all but because she has all the first six it makes the lack of coordination cute.
That's what I have been saying for a long time. You don't have to be a big vocalist like Ariana to be great. There are different types of great vocalists. Taylor is just as great.

Then why are you here??

Anytime Taylor is on the piano is a win!!
Agreed 100000%

This song has a chokehold on me, especially when it's just Taylor and a piano. Good lord.
Same for me. It's my favorite track out of all 31 on TTPD/ Anthology. So devastatingly beautiful; so poignant.
@@WolfieTM It's in my top 3 on the album and one of my all-time favorites.
Her poetry and lyrics are untouchable.
The Ultimate Storyteller ✨
Her vocabulary is off the charts. Yes you are right 👍.
What impresses me a lot is how she remembers all the words to her many , msny songsmespe cially the older ones! I am impressed.
And the mashups!! Changing the key to the songs to match them on the mashups and remembering the lyrics of 2-3 songs and when are they coming in, which part is she gonna sing. Like its so impressive
Same... 😩✨ I can barely remember a line or a too 😅
I know! She’s singing songs from years ago, and she never forgets the lyrics. And watch her at award shows when someone else is singing…..she knows their lyrics, too! Crazy!

And that's enough she's herself doesn't need to be the other people you mentioned...
She doesn’t need to be
She’s more talented than them in many other ways
Also, Ariana just whistles, there’s nothing special about her
I’ve come to realise all kinds of voices are valid. I love flawless Karen Carpenter and also Taylor’s breathy vocals and the way her voice cracks. All welcome xix
I was watching live on a grainy live stream and I bawled my eyes out 😂 Taylor's different, it's her lyrics, her storyteller, the emotion in her voice and her angelic vocals, she really is the whole package
Ariana is a very impressive vocalist but she makes me feel nothing. Taylor is out there singing in an enormous stadium, with the same ole basic piano that she does for every song, and it’s so raw and real. Tears every time.
Miss Swift has a genuine love of words and language, she is a poet.
She knows how to play guitar, Fiddle, piano 🎹 and so on , Just Brilliant.
All of Taylor's songs start out on the paino or guiter at home. They get finished at the studio.
She writes her songs like this on piano or guitar before all the production. She’s said that she likes to be able to perform her songs acoustically like she wrote them. She also might have a photographic memory for music based on an interview I saw once where someone said she didn’t even write her song down that they wrote together and then released it 10 years later as a vault track.

I was there too(1st row, front standing left at the point of the diamond). We were spoiled that magic evening.
Her singing this song the last night of her London tour is so sad and beautiful at the same time. I’m getting choked up listening to her. Yes her voice is unique and heartbreaking and lovely all together. Great reaction!! 🔥
She is the best vocalist at expressing emotion with her voice. Nobody does it better.
I totally agree with you about Taylor's annunciation! And her breath control is astronomical.
the way you described taylor’s vocals is absolutely perfect, and i never thought of it that way! i actually think that’s a huge reason why she’s always been my favorite artist and why she’s always had my favorite vocals out of anyone despite them not being as high or “impressive” like ariana or chappell. the way she pronounces words, enunciates them, and adds emotion is unmatched! reminds me of in Miss Americana when her and Brandon are recording ME! and she’s trying to voice coach him on how to sing “me” so that you’re like sighing out and he just couldn’t get it and even in the song if you listen to his part he doesn’t do it like she does in the doc lol i always thought that was so funny

This is already my 4th most played song of the year, it’s soooo fucking good!
You should also listen to HOW DID IT END and EVERMORE from the eras tour… just immaculate ❤
Agreed! Look up Evermore from July 2023, the first time she did it as a surprise song. The bridge is so beautiful it hurts.
@@mk21718my favorite song of hers and that performance of it is everything. I have like 3 different videos of it saved to my phone so I can listen to it whenever I want
He did How Did It End - it should be on his Taylor playlist!
@@mk21718 my favorite too
Agree!! Definitely How Did It End from the tour…it was impeccable ❤
Her breath control is to be applauded, I can't get it at all.
She has improved so much as she has matured, she has her own lane for sure and there is a lot of types of vocalists so I appreciate the difference

I could just watch Taylor on the piano for a full concert
First here 👏
Have you done Haunted live from the speak now tour (I know you did the studio version)?! You definitely need to do that one!!
I agree, that is a really good one.
please do evermore piano version from your it’s unbelievable!!!

Man what is with you and Swift, what happened to Morissette
Come to the Twitch streams and request her!
That's a lot electronic voice adjustment.
That's what I have been saying for a long time. You don't have to be a big vocalist like Ariana to be great. There are different types of great vocalists. Taylor is just as great.
@ivycowboy SEE WHAT I MEAN?! 😭
HAHA yes, point taken!
I really wanted her to end it with “I found someone” 🥹
