I love Jimmy eat world and taylor swift. Saw them at the tivoli last year, and when I met jim afterwards I said "what is taylor swift like? Sorry I have to ask, I'm a big fan of her as well" and he said "yeah man, she's just a girl, just a girl!" I then said how identify with Jimmy eat worlds music, and i identify with Taylor's as well. I play guitar, and I got one of jims guitar picks, from the support act, I walked up and said "I play guitar can I have a pick?" And the guy was like "yeah...Hang on I have something better for you as well" and he pulled out he's wallet and gave me jims guitar pick, it was a used "damage" album one, with "Jim Adkins" on the back with pen. My brother was jelous, so when we met jim I asked if he had a spare pick, and I got one for him as well. Jim was fantastic and stood outside with about 15 of us for the best part of half an hour. Zach came out too.
How nice of Jim Adkins to lend a little bit of his star power to a young up and coming performer. One day this Taylor girl might be able to even open for Jimmy Eat World one day
@@skepticalbadger at like 30 seconds in you can see he going from D to A to G and the chorus after that. The song is pretty simple to play. Also looks like she isn’t in drop D
@@Tom364 dude it's hard to tell for sure with the potato quality of the video, but she definitely never moved off the 2nd and 3rd fret the entire song and I don't see anything that looks like a chord change. She might be doing some embellishments
i love taylor. to know that she loves this song makes me love her even more. she is perfect. biggest pop star in the world, Grammy after Grammy. The taylor effect is real.
Remember when your mom told you to let your little brother play on the console so you hand him a joystick and unplug it? That's what jimmy eat word did to Taylor xD
This is 11yrs old? Why are the views so low, I’m not trying to complain but I love the band and Honestly Taylor does a good job backing him up with her smooth voice
to all the people saying she's not plugged in, she is. but the thing is her guitar is turned way the fuck down. and she's probably just watching Jim to see how it's played. probably a spur of the moment thing idk. but yeah, stop hating.
Actually, as a guitarist I can tell you, this song which is in D major can be accompanied and even embellished nicely by the other guitar playing the D chord in that position, then moving the index finger up a string to bar and play the E and A notes while keeping the D and F# notes fingered. Then for the G chord you’d simply lift the index finger off entirely while still fingering the D note, and more than likely muting the F#. That’d cover the entire song with very little visible hand movement at all.
I hope the YT does not start throwing TS stuff into my feed just for watching this! Long live Jimmy Eat World though! They were phenominal live last year, amazing as it seems [still in 2023.]
VeTePa You're very clever. Obviously people know the song. Its played in grocery stores nationwide for gods sake. She respected him with very kind words before she performed his song. Sorry, I'm not used to having to spell things out for people.
+Matt van den Ham Weeeeell... She "plays" D, A, G just not barree and though she does the A a bit lazy only with her pointing finger over several strings these are basically the chords providing the song. So, I don't know if this guitar is plugged in but it would match at least halfway.
Hey Swifties ! I've made recently a video, on youtube, where there's all the best high notes/long note and live vocals by Taylor, go watch this in my account! :)
+Max'l Power she wasn't actually playing, her left hand didn't even move once but you can hear the chord changes, makes no sense. She wasn't playing, she's been known to do this before.
Taylor: i know the country version...same chords, different swing Jim: just play the song and leave. just like sound check. band: everything is to a click track anyway. we're hired to play the song, not be rockstars. don't blow this with ego trippin, i'm getting better money on the road than i would being just another session guy in Nashville or LA. FOH: don't worry, i've got 3 guitars, a bass, drums, and keys over Taylor, i'll just give her enough in the monitor mix so she can ego trip. Courtney Love does it all the time. Taylor Swift fans: OMG TAY TAY IS SO AMAZING DID YOU HEAR THAT SOLO? JEW fans: i'm just here for Jim.
yeah sorry to burst your bubble, but she isn't playing the song right there. She is strumming a completely different rhythm and not hitting the stops with the band and Jim.
Oh lord people, get over yourselves. It was a fun show. Just leave it at that. If you leave a long response over Swift, you are probably a loser. The idea of performing is to have fun. She has videos with over 1 billion views. And tell me what you've done...?
Taylor is absolutely playing some rhythm guitar on the song.. she was playing the open chords.. there isn't a lot of hand movement there...any decent guitar player can see that. You are only talking about three chords on the chorus.. she has played harder parts acoustically live. Love, love, love Jimmy Eat World.. easily one of my favorite bands of all time.
Well this is a pairing I never thought I'd see.....
For some reason your comment made me laugh out. Still laughing 🤣🤣🤣
shit thought the same. I'm a Taylor Swift fan, just listened to The Middle on TH-cam and then I saw this, was like "?????"
It's odd, but it totally works.

taylor swift actually had an emo phase which is so interesting, i think she did an apple music ad to this song where she briefly mentions it!
The song has such a great message that it should cross to any genre.
I have such a new respect for Taylor Swift ! Who knew ! That was so cool!!
I love Jim Adkins
He's like Keanu Reeves. The man does not age.
ylizzy sharer
He’s also like Billie Joe Armstrong
.. it has to do do with him doin what he loves. doin the opposite makes you age the worst way ...
I was at this show and it was unreal!! I still have my ticket ❤❤

Just shows how great Jim is. And i liked this video in that sense
I'm here just for Jim

Who cares? NO ONEEEEEEEEEE
Ok we value what you feel
me too
OMG I
She's dueted with Jim , Bryan Adams, and Def Leppard. I have to give her credit, she respects the older artists and hits.
WHY AM I ONLY SEEING THIS NOW
How nice of Jim Adkins to lend a little bit of his star power to a young up and coming performer.

This comment is pathetic lol
Actually this was in a tour of Taylor, the Speak Now World Tour in 2011

Jimmy Eat World Meets Taylor Swift? Hell yeah!
This is awesome!
Taylor Swift's guitar skills are up there with Hendrix and page not gonna lie
charlie major stop
I'd say she's better. She's gotta be close to Yngwie and Rhoads, has to be...
to all the people saying she's not plugged in, she is. but the thing is her guitar is turned way the fuck down. and she's probably just watching Jim to see how it's played. probably a spur of the moment thing idk. but yeah, stop hating.
she is not playing it

The amount of mutual respect on that stage is crazy.

just found out the Taylor Swift likes JEW ... she just gained a lot of respect here!
uhh phrasing

She likes FOB too

Now she is like 30 times more popular.
But them always be better
I have no words.
I LOVE TAYLOR SO MUCH😍 SHE IS SO GOOD
Considering she wasnt even able to fake playing the guiter i wouldnt say she is so good. Maybe like pretty good at your local talent show.
@@adamkeddie4650 that's your opinion
Jim Adkins - Legend.
I Love
That's.. something... it's good ❤
She might not be playing, but at least shes giving him a TON of credit and spotlight. People are so hateful nowadays
lmao,,,,, the middle is already known enough,,,
You completely missed my point.
nah, i catched it but i wanted to talk about the other half you said lol
VeTePa You're very clever. Obviously people know the song. Its played in grocery stores nationwide for gods sake. She respected him with very kind words before she performed his song. Sorry, I'm not used to having to spell things out for people.
Don't worry, it's okay. I must admit I read your comment too fast and got triggered lmao
you can also notice that she keeps strumming during the stops and accented notes Jim and the band plays.
She's a really good guitarist, and she's proven that many times over. Notice that Jim rarely changes chords, too.
she couldn't even fake the chord changes?
+Matt van den Ham

Oh shit, now I can't see anything else.
Good stuff ❤
I feel like we’re not really hearing her guitar. 🎸
so cool
Awesome
Shes really good!.......at hhat she knows how to play the song
She doesn't, she's "faking" the chord shapes.
she isnt even playing
hahaha exactly!
Isnt there such a thing as cordless guitars? idk
Amelia Alexander
theres wireless receivers but u could see it if she had one which she doesnt
Alex G
im just going to take your word for it but just for clarification she can play the guitar, quite well :)
Yeah It's pretty clear she isn't actually playing since her left hand doesn't really move on top of there being no wireless receiver.
WOAH!
My favourite part of this video is how completely awkward Jim seems when Taylor Swift is talking to the crowd.
You guys are so mean now I can't dare to watch it cause if it is awkward then it is going to play in my mind forever
did taylor even plug her guitar? i mean...
and here emo country pop was born
@@bigskull7591 yup
Fun!
Whoa dude!
WTF!? She is connected with my three favorite men in music. Jim Adkins, John Rzeznik and Ryan Adams! ???
Well, never would've thought that Jim's wife created 135 accounts to dislike the vid
Wtf no sabía que existiera esto
taylor swifts tophat guitar
anyone else here from tay's apple music ad?
Mee
Me
Me 😂❤️
me :))

I want this to happen again!
good thing taylor swift's guitar wasn't plugged in...
+Nicholas Fisher yer nic and lucky she wasn't wearing knickers
+Nicholas Fisher If you would take a closer look you will see that they were using wireless systems.
hahaha
+Max'l Power she wasn't actually playing, her left hand didn't even move once but you can hear the chord changes, makes no sense. She wasn't playing, she's been known to do this before.
Watch again starting at the 0:30 mark. Her left hand is definitely swapping between chords.
Couldn’t have picked a worse person to play this song baring the message in mind fucking hell
Taylor was an outcast
Was it just me who found this duet way too unlikely?
Taylor: i know the country version...same chords, different swing
Jim: just play the song and leave. just like sound check.
band: everything is to a click track anyway. we're hired to play the song, not be rockstars. don't blow this with ego trippin, i'm getting better money on the road than i would being just another session guy in Nashville or LA.

Taylor Swift fans: OMG TAY TAY IS SO AMAZING DID YOU HEAR THAT SOLO?
JEW fans: i'm just here for Jim.
Wow your such a fucking loser. As a fellow JEW fan please stop.
Come on guys, it's a fucking show. She just wanted to rock out a bit since she doesn't get to on her own concerts
+Herman Manly This IS her concert. He's a guest.
I need Steve T do the ITWPI for taylor
Fortunately Taylor had her 'stunt' guitarist in-house and he covered.
Tay Tay playing with Jimmy Eat World... as Paris Hilton would say, "that's hawt."
well said taylor swift :)
makes sense than Jim now covers one of her songs
"Noooooo" -Eric Cartman.
I wanna play guitar like Taylor.....
It's funny how she keep doing the same chords during all song and her hand moves are not going with the song haha
the myspace era taylor swift lol
0:33 and 0:41 ... Taylor Swift is lip syncing?
👏 Jim Adkins
And this was when Taylor Swift was cool.
Uh, she still is??
Kickass haha I like
Not 1 Taylor Swift fan sang a proper lyric with them that day lol
I mean it's only 3 chords, how hard can it be Taylor.
This is why Taylor Swift is such a cutie pie
Zoomamania going on with the camera.
Is this pop or country Taylor.
Country.
wtf is she doing with the guitar??????
Miguel Sanchez what all pop assholes do, trying to be a rockstar
Pretend to play it
Man....Taylor's Les Paul is pretty sweet looking.
yeah sorry to burst your bubble, but she isn't playing the song right there. She is strumming a completely different rhythm and not hitting the stops with the band and Jim.

Look at Jim! He doesn't look at her at all!!!
What? Yes he did....
....Jimmy got a back up singer, don't know why
If you look closely, you see that Taylor isnt moving her left hand at all on her guitar...
If you look even closer you can see hand moving. It's just very subtle.
Taylor is absolutely playing some rhythm guitar on the song.. she was playing the open chords.. there isn't a lot of hand movement there...any decent guitar player can see that. You are only talking about three chords on the chorus.. she has played harder parts acoustically live.
