Taylor Swift - Forever & Always (Piano Version) (Taylor's Version) (Lyric Video)

her pausing after “here’s to silence” is “say my name and everything just STOPS” energy

This is a moment in history

Forever and always (regular version) : JUMPS ON BED, DANCES AND PLAYS INVISIBLE GUITAR
Forever and always (piano version) : sits quietly and listens while crying, looks around dramatically.

But like the fact that Sophie Turner is a fellow Swiftie is literally the the best kind of irony

therapy: expensive
Taylor's version of her iconic songs: free and much more effective ✔

This version is so much more haunting than the original

Can we all agree this was and is the superior version of Forever & Always

This version is more haunting cuz she doesn’t say “ baby what happened “ ,instead says “what happened “ (at 0:39 ) and that silence in place of the word feels empty

this album... feels like a hug to my 13 year old self. she was struggling with body image and self esteem, worried about her future, figuring out her likes and dislikes. looking back, i’m just super proud of how she turns out. she lived through her ups and downs. **pats back**

I hope while re-recording her songs, she's proud of her old self. Because we are. She did great.

How many albums do u want to release in a year?
Taylor : *YES*

I don't know about you but "forever & always (Taylor's version)" and "forever and always (Piano Version) (Taylor's Version) are 2 complete different songs for me.

Remembering my teenage self crying to this while eating a chocolate bar.

I am so happy she owns this

Trust me Joe Jonas is not waiting for his wife to play the whole album. He played the entire album himself.

The fact that Taylor used to write songs about a Joe.....
But now she writes songs with a Joe

I love how this piano version of the song has the same lyrics but the piano makes them more deep

This has honestly shifted something inside me, the way she fought for what was right, the way she believes in herself and the examples she sets for others. AND THEN DELIVERS HONEY Honestly she is my queen and I’m so proud

The moment you realize that the piano version of "forever and always" was the original version but BM had it "remixed" because "there were already too many sad songs on the record" and that the only reason they let her add it to the album in such a short notice was because they thought it would generate buzz since the song is about joe

The piano playing is much more elegant and emotive than it was on the original Fearless. She's really grown a lot.

This song can very easily be a part of Folklore and Evermore.

FELLOW SWIFTIES remember do NOT stream the original album anymore. We stream what she owns. Show your loyalty. This woman saved some of our lives. Let's save her masters

Joe Jonas sayin' "forever and always" To Taylor. Have the same energy when prince Charles said "whatever love means" To Diana

I would like to thank Taylor Swift for giving us two versions of this masterpiece so I can add it to my sad songs playlist and breakup bangers playlist.

Taylor, I have grown up with you. Thank you for inspiring so many young women around the world to embrace their selves and to live fearlessly. I love you:)

This piano version with her mature voice is giving me chills

Idk why but when she says "were you just kidding?" At the beginning it's so heartbreaking

When Taylor was a teenager she writes better than half of nowadays singers and songwriters that's insane!

Producer: How many version you want for forever and always
Taylor: yes

you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all. this is that line that always gets to me

ME IN 2009: CRYING ABOUT A LOVE STORY THAT I'LL NEVER HAVE
ME IN 2020: CRYING ABOUT A LOVE STORY THAT I'LL NEVER HAVE TOO

"You didn't mean it baby" hits my soul different in this acoustic version. 🥺😭

The record label: how sad do you want the album?
Taylor: Y E S

Sadly many swiftie doesn't know this masterpiece exists

*This version of F&A feels more magical after the magical essence of folklore & evermore* 🧙🏼‍♂️✨

This means we are possibly getting Clean- Piano Version from the reputation era.

There's something special about being able to sing along with the songs even though we're technically listening to them for the first time

*Back up, baby back up*
*Did you forget everything?*
IT HITS DIFFERENT 😭😭

I don't usually cry but Taylor's songs made me cry everytime I listen to her. Eventhough I didn't experience the pain she had when she wrote the song but the lyrics always gets me everytime.

the way she pronounces "everyTHINGGGG" "goINGGGG" and "alWAYSSSSSS" with much more energy and emotions comparing to the old version!!!!!

TAYLOR doesn't realize This, but She is making everyone's day better.

Taylor Swift isn't just a woman, she is the human form of excellence and talent. Every step she takes gives new meanings to life. Taylor Swift is the embodiment of perfection in its truest form.

This is like the soundtrack that plays at the end of a emotional movie

the emotion in her voice is unlike any other singer alive

I can’t believe people actually prefer the other version when THIS ONE EXISTS!!

i remember bopping to this song, pretending i’m breaking up w my non existent boyfriend. nothing changed 🤎

I realized that Taylor deleted some of the word “baby” from the lyrics. I would rather think it’s because Joe is not her baby anymore. Love that ❤️

These vocals hurt even more than the old piano version
Oh, Taylor you really know how to make me cry

Remembering listening to this after having a spine fusion surgery at 14 crying i told a nurse i like music and taylor swift, she actually got a cd of fearless and i cried a lot but music made me feel bettef thank you nurse thank you drs from shriners hospital at salt lake there is something worth listening out there love from a music fan a scoliosis survivor and a swiftie

I love how this is calmer than the older one. I never thought that the piano version of forever and always can get anymore beautiful but Taylor did it😭❤️

I am really happy that it all started with a "Joe" and it all will end with a "Joe" (IA)

The fact that I've play this for 13 times everyday is so scary. (and yes I counted)

seeing her ownership credits at the end makes me smile everytime

i’m so incredibly proud of her

2 months later and I'm still crying because of this piano version 😭😭😭

*Taylor Swift is the music industry.*

TAYLOR IN 2009=CRYING OVER A BREAK UP AND WRITING THIS SONG
TAYLOR 2021= LAUGHING COS SHE HAS SOMEONE WHO TREATS HER LIKE A QUEEN AND ALSO LITTLE GETTING EMOTIONAL COS MUSIC TAKES HER BACK

We will love Taylor Swift forever and always.

I love how she changed the way she sings "AT ALL" in the line "you feel so low, you can't feel nothing AT ALL."
I REALLY LOVED THAT SMALL CHANGE.

Could this song BE anymore sad? **Chandler Bing's voice**

Taylor’s manager: how many brackets you wanna put in the title?
Taylor : yes.

I _never_ like piano versions of songs but this one has always been one of my favorites on the entire album

Everyone I listen to, and like a little bit, I still always think in the back of my mind, "but you can't write like Taylor". Everyone is all hyped about Adele, and she has a great voice, but.... she can't write like Taylor. Or play piano. Or play guitar. Or make me feel everything she's feeling. And that's not a diss on Adele, it's a huge shout out to Taylor, and how lucky we are to have her in our lives. She is just SO gifted.

The piano version is just so much more powerful compared to the regular version

BEFORE: Young me with Keypad Nokia Phone and tries to download all Taylor swift songs using Opera Mini

A moment of silence for Joe Jonas as his wife plays this at full volume

People who got into Taylor Swift in folklore-evermore era how are you doing ? Do u hear now that she had it in her since day one !

This is the first version of this song I ever heard when I asked my geometry teacher what her favorite Taylor song was, now I am in love with it

Listening to this makes me so happy to still be alive. My teenage years were a struggle, but now I’m on the other side and listening to Taylors version of forever and always all over again.

The absolute, biggest joke is people coming within like, 5 mins of the release of the song and unliking it without even listening to it first😂 dude Taylor lives and feeds in your mind. She already won!!

My favorite song of FEARLESS

this version just breaks me😞 but her voice is so angelic

I was there when Taylor Swift said forever and always in 2008.

SHE SOUNDS SO CLEAR

Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
And we caught onto something
I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding?
'Cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened? Please tell me
'Cause one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always"
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"
Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure
So here's to everything coming down to nothing
Here's to silence, that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always"
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"
You didn't mean it baby, I don't think so
Oh back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
'Cause it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"
Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when we said, "Forever and always"
And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"
You didn't mean it baby,
You said, "Forever and always", yeah.

this version of the song feels different, I really like it

when she said "here’s to silence" I felt that.

HER VOCAL IMPROVEMENT THRU THE YEARS + TIMELESS SONG
😭😭😭
I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS!! THE FIRST SONG I STREAM FOR FEARLESS (TAYLOR'S VERSION) 💛💛

3:07 my teenage self quietly crying in her bedroom over a boy who didn't exist.

The other version makes me wanna listen to it when me and my friends are having a blast. This one reminds me of when I'm in the rain, alone, and enjoying. Not the lyrics, but the melody. The lyrics make me feel like my soul said bye bye and went on a vacation forever cuz its depressed.

THIS STILL HURTS LIKE THE FIRST TIME

*taylor rewriting history over and over again... the music industry everyone*

This piece sounds peaceful because she knows they both found their own happiness.

is it bad that i want to experience highschool heartbreak just to relate to taylor songs 😂

them: "what's the matter?"
me:
"It's just a legend back"

This is the most beautiful song and version i have ever heard

the pause after “here’s to silence” is a beautiful touch

This is the best song ever! It’s my all time favorite. She is always writing relatable songs! I burst into tears the first time I listened to it!

Piano version is supreme.

Fact: You are not reading the lyrics cause you want to feel how deep the meaning of this song Using your ears and your heart ❤️

Let's gather here all the people who agree this version of the song is even better and heartbreaking. I LOVE IT!!!
👇

After 12 long years, it's still my favorite

WHY AM I CRYING OVER A SONG I DON'T EVEN REMOTELY RELATE TO

This song hits differently now that I've already experienced breakup. My 11-year-old self didn't understand this song before. 🤣

What an amazing way to beautify a perfect piece

THE VOCALS. THE BREATHINESS OF HER VOICE. HOLY

ONE OF THE MORE UNDERRATED SONGS!!!!!!

Taylor is forever and always immortalized

she needs to do a full acoustic album

If you've ever been through something similar, Taylor's song writing and singing literally cuts to the bone
