Beautiful! I love this new generation of artists who don't have hang ups about admiring Swift's songs and listing her as an influence.

[@drewsellers820]

Sssighh YES!

[@carolgayfagerhaugh1969]

They don’t have hang ups because she has been an influence in their lives. Why would anybody be ashamed of her. . . . If they are they aren’t honest with themselves about their emotions ~ they can relate to her because she connects with honesty and emotion. Especially in an over masculine world, Taylor hits the nail on the head for emotionally connecting with her fans.

[@blegh3023]

Carol Gay Fagerhaugh “why would anyone be ashamed of her?” have you seen how many “fans” turned on her because they believed kanye?

[@carolgayfagerhaugh1969]

Kid D what did they ‘believe’ ? What ever my point is that she is nothing to be ashamed about !

[@blegh3023]

Carol Gay Fagerhaugh exactly my point as well! but others for some reason are ashamed of her just cuz wow its a trend!🙄

[@plumlots]

the buzzing string makes this so much more intimate and real

[@diananguyen9421]

fin rupright yes!!! Love it! It’s his sleeves!!!

[@emmajacque5196]

Diana Nguyen i think the buzzing sound is actually from how he plays the chords without a pick plus his finger placement too

[@AnnieLiuMusic]

@@diananguyen9421 the buzzing is because he isn't pressing down on the fretboard fully lol

[@luc3712]

@@AnnieLiuMusic I don't think it's his fingers on the fretboard tho, the way he strums the strings

[@AnnieLiuMusic]

@Gabrielle Poitras hm idk i usually strum with my thumb instead of a pick and it only buzzes if i don’t press on the frets hard enough, otherwise it’s fine

[@milliebruce6838]

Conan convinced me to listen to Taylor... now I’m obsessed with them both lmao

[@mariananobrega5862]

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say "Yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say "Yes"
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say "Yes"
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said "Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say 'Yes'"
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Because we were both young when I first saw you

[@abbieanderson4938]

this is like my childhood but the childhood itself grew up into an even better version of itself ?

[@justcompanynoww]

The way he says “SAY” is my entire life. Also I like that he didn’t change the lyrics like other males singers like they would change it to like “I was Romeo you were throwing pebbles” but Conan saying “I’ll be the Princess”

[@floLbw]

Absolutely!

[@roywirick9854]

love it when an artist “covers” another’s song but adds their own element to it. otherwise you would just want to hear the original. just recently discovered conan and i am the better for it.

I prefer strumming with my finger more so maybe he does too.

[@farhanarahman9375]

@@vivien4381 maybe you never played fingerstyle before

[@shar3859]

I internally screamed when he said "this is my favorite" because this is mine too. After reading R&J and processing its dark meaning about how the lovers were fated to die tragically in the first place, the fact that Taylor wrote it to give them a happy ending really hits different. I love the innocent tone. It's like Romeo and Juliet having their first meeting again in heaven and getting to experience a happy ending when they didn't get to the first time.

[@brechristine7262]

Cover: amazing
Conan: beautiful
Conan’s whole hand strumming: odd

[@lukivasive]

Bre Christine it tends to create a different sound, a more intimate sound almost and i suppose he prefers that

[@keiththecat1678]

He isn’t muting the low e on some of the chords which could be why

[@shahrukhsattar3620]

Its not out of tune. He didn't use his thumbs properly. Only thumbs strumming needs precision.

[@pratyushrudra5797]

No it's percectly in tune, he can't play "that" well, he sings better than like everyone in this world, but his guitar technique is awful if i say so bluntly

[@adeleswyles8413]

This song is from 2008, but I listen as often and with as much enthusiasm as if it had been released yesterday. The point is, Taylor's songs reach you emotionally in different ways, they mark you. This girl was born to make art!!

[@aaronhour]

Bruhhhhh I have literally had this song stuck in my head all week, and did a cover of it then whambam, this is posted. Literally, his mind 😳🥺

[@johnnylokals]

I weirdly like that he’s accustomed to playing his Gibson like a classical guitar, cause classical guitar uses nylon strings and you don’t usually strum them with a pick or nail side of your fingers c: and he’s used a classical guitar a lot before in the past.
