Her version of the national anthem sounds like when war is over and everything's finally in peace.
Wow your so right!!!❤❤❤
“Everything’s finally in peace” except for the victims. Stop romanticizing war.
True❤
@@jadeyunetdicaprio5754 I'm not trying to. It's just an idea that her calming and bright version of the song gave me. Stop being a snowflake and stop trying to take everything seriously
totally agree with this
She did an excellently respectful job. Nothing to show off, just respect.
the “Show Off” Narrative is tired and is often rooted in Jealousy, the Star Spangled Banner is an epic song that should convey emotion and evoke emotion from an audience, a simple rendition is fine but some of the BEST that have ever been done are by folks you’d consider “Show offs”
She's an idiot.
@@cobraconjure
Whatever
During this game, Taylor was 18 years old and had already made 2 country albums (writing all the songs). Thirteen years later and she has sold over 200 million records globally. She has done all of the above with an independent streak. It is no surprise she sang the National Anthem as she did, as she chose, and she will do again.
And 16 years later, by the end of the Eras tour, it is projected that she will have boosted the US economy by over 5 billion dollars. What an amazing powerhouse. (Of course, we should’ve foreseen that when she was only 14 years old, and convinced her parents to pack up and move 3 states away.)
@@TomF18 I'm from South Korea so I don't get why she should had to move other states. Is it because of tax? lol I also went to Eras tour in Houston,TX! It was so nice to see her.
@@ssgssgi For professionals who are just beginning, there are certain cities which are centers of the music industry. They offer more choices as far as record labels, producers, and venues for performing. Nashville has always been the largest hub for country music, which was Taylor’s first genre. It’s similar to the actors who are just starting out, and usually have to move to New York or Los Angeles.
She'll never sing the anthem again lol who are you kidding.
She was 19 idk what you talking bout
she’s so young in here 😭
She was 19
Ikr, she’s in her 30s now.
@@jescareno8332 18*
Unless this was after dec 13 which I seriously doubt she was 17
@@Ur_Fav_Preppy1989 She was born on December 13, 1989. So she would turn 19 on December 13, 2008. Therefore she had to have been 18 when she sang this.
She turns all of her weaknesses and gifts into strengths.
This is the sweetest and calmest rendition. I can picture this moment when we finally got over with Covid-19.
When America officially defeats COVID once and for all, they should play this over patriotic footage on TV
were still not "over it". I tested positive a few days ago.
It’ll never go away completely
It would have been 'the sweetest and calmest rendition' if she'd have played the proper guitar chords. She flat-out MISSED many of the quick transition chords, which made the song sound awkward. You actually thought it sounded 'sweet'? At times, the notes she sang and the notes she played CLASHED. I've always been a fan of hers, but this was NOT one of her best efforts.
You know she prepared like crazy and so young - what a responsibility!
Accompanying herself on the guitar, even.
No one knows how much pressure she's under right there. Of course, she nailed it!
I thought this was a really sweet version of this song. Almost like a lullaby. I love Taylor. She’s talented, no matter what you may say. Her songs are fun, and she writes them all, herself. This was far better than the loud, obnoxious screeching we usually hear; from people over doing it, and trying too hard. This was believable and honest.
Please define loud and obnoxious as belting can sound great when used correctly.
@@Clara-uw2lb I think she’s referring to any time Christina Aguilera’s done the anthem at a sporting event
!!!
I know what you mean. Taylor is free in herSelf. So, she carries the song with it's meaning...not making it all about the final note as a singer, but the heart of the song from the heart. Just her natural singing. Bless her.
@@TimmyTickle Taylor blows goats
come on, taylor isn't the kind of singer that is like Demi or Beyonce or whatever ya know.
she is special in her own ways.
stop the damn hate
Update : yall I commented this 8 years ago when I was 14 and dumb. I don’t even listen to her anymore stop replying to my comment 😭
Elaine Horan PREACH
What way?
Elaine Horan She can do what she wants and I agree
Demi Devonne singing good LOL
elainexoxo Yea she isn't like Bey coz she isn't a copycat
It's such a sweet national anthem 😇😘😍
Avishek Gurung better watch Whitney Houston version
I know right it's such a sweet national anthem
but its so hard to sing lol its range is 12 keys
I must say she made me love your anthem😍
we do be loving america
the only one who can sing the national anthem with a guitar
William Ludeña lmao. I'd like to see you singing the american anthem in front of thousands of people.
This is the NATIONAL ANTHEM not a fucking radio song. It's unnecessary for eveyone to play a guitar during a National Anthem. But Taylor did a very good job.
Ndidbkxv sisbsi sobej sobqis idbid yuck Taylor suck
She can't sing
@Darius Why? Firstly she did a great job.
Secondly, critics are the most useless people in the world. We can tell if a song is bad, like Fergie. But swift wasn't and theres no need all the hate.
the only one who can sing the national anthem with a guitar , she's unique
Add Chris Stapleton to that list 😊
@@MaxxSend Chris probably watched this performance and got ideas
@@MaxxSendand they collabed on i bet you think about me for red tv! love how they sound in the song
what's with the negative comments? every artist has their own style of singing. demi's version is high pitched as well as beyonce's and ariana's. taylor isnt a high note- kind at that time but she made an awesome rendition of the anthem. its angelic.
taylor swift and kpop it was a great, unique rendition. I really enjoy it
I agree! also, great profile pic haha
Because it is on youtube and this is where you can comment on the videos. No one is above criticism.
R W Taylor can’t sing these kind of songs with high notes
i knew it’s 4 years later but her name is Beyoncé not beyonce. Big B and é. that B means i’m bout that life
why r so many of these comments hate. I think she did absolutely incredible

I've always been a Swift fan, but this performance was NOT up to her standards. The biggest problem was her guitar accompaniment. She simply SKIPPED many of the small/quick chord-changes which made the song sound... awkward/not-whole at several moments. She's always had very high standards, and good sense, musically. So, I'm kind of surprised she would have given such an amaturish guitar performance.
I'm Indian and that's the sweetest National anthem I’ve ever heard by any artists ❤️❤️
I agree and hello fellow India
*Indian
@@imjustsuperiorrr she probably wanted hers to be peaceful like when the war is over, there's nothing wrong with that
@@paige3928 hey fellow swiftie
She won't sleep with you pal, awful rendition of the National Anthem
LEGEND.
This version is reflective and respectful.
It's exactly the version you'd feel when staring up at the victorious, magnificent, waving American flag after a hard fought battle in the morning dawn.
Absolutely perfect.
The only problem is that she flat-out SKIPPED many of the small/quick chord changes, which made the song sound awkward at times, and even amateurish. I'm actually shocked that someone of her talent and high standards would have allowed this. Well, I still love her as an artist...
Victorious magnificent flag of a colony
Haha
Everyone complaining about the hate comments but there are none lol
insane HAHAHHAAHHAHA
the dislike bar says different
You don't understand this post was 5 years ago. I'm sure when they did to post this they keep bashing to Taylor i guess.
They’ve been deleted by the channel owner genius
@@DestroyerWill I didn’t know MLB had the time to delete all the Taylor hate comments
I love the way that she don’t good at high notes as the divas , so she decided to make it softer with an acoustic version. She always have a smart decision.
well said
That's what they do went they can't really sing it like Whitney Houston 🤭🤭🤭
@@jenniferoviawethe way she sing is more peaceful that any high note vocal did. This is nation anthem about peace and victory, not the voice competition.
because she is incapable of actually singing.
@@amirulasyraf1409you're just saying that bc she's right.
No way you're saying T swift is better than Whitney MF Houston. 😂😂😂😂
I like Taylor myself but let's not tell lies.
I
Everyone doesn't have to judge her. She has a different style of music. Anyways it doesn't matter anymore because the old Taylor is dead.
cookies or coffee trueeeee
Lol
cookies or coffee ya she can’t come to the phone right now. (From Look What You Made Me Do)
cookies or coffee it's one of the worst version check it out
Wait what?!?!
Such a gentle version of it. Love you Taylor!!!
i’ve never seen this video before and i’m so glad i stumbled upon it, i love how softly she sings it and the guitar gives it a special touch.
It was peaceful, beautiful tone, it was soft like a lullaby. It sound like the ending in movies when the protagonist comes home.
Her guitar is so beautiful !!!🎸🎸
Actually, her guitar is what ruined the song/performance. She flat-out SKIPPED many of the small/quick chord-changes. You didn't even notice that?
Its awful.
@@danielhkhk7283 I wouldn't say it's "aweful", but she DID play such a simplified, amaturish guitar accompaniment... skipped all the key-changes that make the song sound 'whole' and 'complete'. I actually love and respect T.S., which is why I'm a bit shocked that she would do such a thing. Did she think it was 'stylistically unique'? Or does she simply lack the finger-talent to make those little chord-changes? It's hard for me to call anything she does "aweful", but compared to her STANDARDS, it's kind of aweful.
@@djbenje4019 The chord changes " ...by the dawns early lights..." are weird. Dont think this sounds good.
@@danielhkhk7283 Exactly. I don't understand why she would do that. She's always been so talented and sharp about these kinds of things. The only thing I can think of is that the Key she's singing in has very difficult chord-changes, and she just got 'lazy', or just isn't talented enough to play the guitar part properly, in that key.
Screw all you haters. Im not a Taylor Swift fan at all, but she killed it here. This anthem got me jacked for game 3. Such a sweet yet strong melody.
why are people comparing Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato I'm a Swiftie but come on guys they are different from each other Taylor has her own way of singing which Demi don't and Demi has her own way which Taylor haven't PERIOD
Ryan Buhia who cares Taylor is the most gorgeous and successful singer out there
Right Demi could actually sing
@@jenniferoviaweLMAOOO exactly
@@Chocolate21606not even close LMAOOOO. ✌🏽
Have you listened the new version of of the anthem sung by Demi in 2020? ?
Damn! Why am I crying? 😭 Can we get the 10 minute version next?
Best comment on CZcams goes to
yeah i am so proud of her!
Just press the rewind, it's how I saw your comment
Way better than Fergie
Fergie is a 1 out of ten Taylor would be a 2
lol
100%
you mean fergalicious
Anyone is better 😂
Just beautiful. Love her style of singing this iconic song. Taylor is just so talented!!!!
She did an amazing job ♥️ her version was so relaxing and serene and unique 😁
For all of you who condemn her for playing the guitar while singing, let me ask you this. Did Jimi Hendrix need a guitar to play the National Anthem, or should he have just walked on stage and sang it? He didn't have to, but he did anyway, because he wanted to, and he was a great guitar player. Taylor played the guitar because she wanted to.
68corvette08 don't ever compare that talentless plastic hack to one of the most incredible and influential rock musicians of all time.
@@buggabuggaboy Talentless? Where? You can dislike her music but calling her talentless is literally lying to yourself
Did you just compare Jimi Hendrix to Taylor Swift? There’s not even a comparison lol
@@ciaradiam0nd he literally didn't compare them lol. He just said that there is nothing wrong with playing guitar while signing the national anthem.
Now I’m imagining Hendrix walking up to the microphone without a guitar and singing a cappella
Would be interesting to hear her sing this now that her voice has matured.
i love Taylor swift. this is so beautiful.
Not a taylor swift fan. But i have to admit that she brings a totally different feeling to the anthem, which is not exactly bad. It's just different. And sometimes we need a bit variety and can perhaps understand the song in another way ;)
I
Young taylor even her voice sounds very young....love u TS....
She’s only 18 here, and sang it great. Now she’s 34 and had 16 more years of singing and maturing. She is the biggest star in the world. Bigger than any movie star or sports hero. Bigger than Elvis.
Not better than Elvis he could sing
@@cindynations4774 Taylor can sing better than Elvis.
@@razorback9926 maybe. Different styles. She still doesn’t have a full vocal range which is why she “talk sings” in many of her songs. I’ve heard singers in church with better voices.
@@pamelasmith6221 She has full vocal range, and sings from her diaphragm in many songs. In some she talks-sings, but when you write your own songs, you sing what the song requires.
SOMEONE LET HER SING NATIONAL ANTHEM RN HER BELTSS HAVE VIBRATO AND CONTROL NOW
No they dont
@@laurencipolla7340 they?
@@frankiegrandegivesmenightm7432 her belts and vibrato and non existent, you cant control something if you dont even exist

@@laurencipolla7340 bruh what is this grammar chile anyways miss swift went from shaky a4s to sustained e5s-g5s
These kind of rendition must be the one to get attention because its angelic and really beautiful everwytime you listen on it..You cant judge this by just listening if its high pitched but on way she sang it ...😘
I like this version so much.. very cute, honest and true to herself....❤️❤️❤️
What the heck I was not expecting the end! She’s really a great singer
This is one of the best versions of the national anthem ever. Taylor was 18 at the time. As well as Having over 300 award nomination and over 200 wins, including; 7 Grammys, 6th place on All time wins list for American Music Awards, Most Billboard Awards, most Writer/artist awards from the Nashville Songwriters Association. She Is the only artist in history with 3 million plus album sales weeks. Dozens of music hall of fame artists including, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Lionel Ritchie, Steven Tyler, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, etc. have praised her. So unless you have gotten this kind of recognition stop criticizing her.
I think this was the BEST cover of the national anthem I've ever heard!
totally agree
That's all of Taylor's achievement in her lifetime, not when she was 18.
This comment needs to be updated
I love her guitar playing she is so talented
I came here expecting to laugh but this was kinda sweet. I miss her "fearless" phase.
Golden era ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in love with The Star Spangled Banner (Taylor’s version) 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent job singing this very difficult song. I love her so much
These singers need to sing faster cause holding flags aint an easy task. Eminem should do it
Faris Othman 😂
Faris Othman
Faris Othman my favorite comment 😂😂💀
😂
Lol
humble beginnings 🥰 not her fan but she totally worked hard for what she has now. and to be fair, she never even claimed to be the best singer nor the best performer so people should stop comparing her to the other main pop girlies. she's successful 'cause she's relatable. she may not be my favorite but i totally respect the hardwork, talent, and dedication
all national anthems are soooo beautiful and powerful
This is my favorite version of the National Anthem. Actually, tied for first with the version by Terre Roche on the album "US an' Them"
Her singing has come a long way since this. You would never think this girl would take over the music industry some day but she most certainly has.
Aw I love this it’s exactly right for her style back then
Those who are criticizing her that was in 2008 JESUS she better now.
it's funny cuz I just watched Demi's version
same
Me too!
hahaahahah I did the same hahahaha
Hahaha me tooo
Same
Amazing ❤ She will forever be my favorite.
National Anthem Taylor’s Version. Her voice is just so soft. She’s amazing here
Look let me tell you something, I think that more singers should sing the National Anthem like Taylor! She sung it sssooo peacefully and she didnt do all of that annoying riffs and runs, I mean just PERFECT!
I'm a Swiftie and this was amazing
God Bless Taylor Swift! 🇺🇸❤
She’s so cute.. and loved that she brought her guitar and sang it in a country version
Who’s here after Lady Gaga’s performance for the Inauguration.
Bruh me
Me and after Ariana, Beyonce and Aretha Franklin
me
I know She’s not Beyoncé, she’s not Mariah Carey (one of my favourite singers) nor Lady Gaga (My favourite singer, I guess) but She has a voice different from the other artists’ ones.
It isn’t too powerful, it’s just so sweet and heartwarming, it’s more like a lullaby and don’t forget she writes gorgeous lyrics, she was just about 17 or something like this, she was also playing the guitar and she DIDN’t sing out of tune. So please, stop hating her because of nothing.
Hope you did understand what I meant to say even if some mistakes
(Don’t hate me, I’m Italian)
Thank yoooouuuu! I can't stand when people expect EVERYONE to sing like Beyonce or Whitney Houston cause NOT everyone sings like that smh, they all have their own unique voice!
@@latinadavis3691exactly!! I'm so tired of people forcing her to sing like Gaga or Grande 😭
I may be biased as a Taylor Swift stan but this was a thousand times more respectful than most renditions. Most go for spectacle and high notes when it should be about feeling pride and hitting the proper notes.
Emm no 😂
There, you already said it "biased"
Taylor was born on 12/13/89. This game was on 10/25/08. Now, 10/25/08 - 12/13/89 = 18 years, 10 months, 12 days. So her age here was 18, but only 7 weeks short of 19 (give or take a few hours). It is amazing how people cannot do basic arithmetic.
I miss this subtle, sweet, country Taylor Swift.
I can feel her inner thing going on when she sings. I mean she is excited and nervous but she is amazing.
She's one of the few who actually uses 3/4 for the anthem, most other artists sing it in 4/4 arrangement
Didn’t Francis Scott Key originally write it in 3/4?
When is she gonna sing the national anthem again? The 2018 Taylor Swift.
Never she was horrible
Taylor Swift did it her own way very bold but also very classy love ya Taylor 🥰
Nice, classic, pleasant National Anthem style.. nothing overdone.
0:08 here to honor America, and its national treasure: Taylor Swift
Her cute little voice here aw 😍
Her voice has come a long way she sang beautifully here but she still had a lot to learn. I can’t believe she sang at the Phillies World Series and I didn’t know much of her then.
the sweetest rendition❤❤❤
Love her voice❤❤❤
When Young Taylor Was Pure & Innocent & Patriotic ❤️🤍💙🇺🇲🤗🙏
It is now 3am, this version made me chills my spine when I listened it. seems cozy that I've ever heard!
1:21 thats balanggiga bell from the Philippines
such an innocence in her voice ..........also she didnt scream it like screamtina and sounded pleasant at least!
Vansh Mishra i lost it at screamtina hahaha
The only one who sang the anthem normally everyone else outdoes it
Taylor always does her best and that’s all that really counts. She’s America’s sweetheart through and through.
Dear haters: She was SIXTEEN when she did this. Not a lot of 16 yr olds would have the courage to get up there and try. Yeah it isn't the anthem as we're used to but I liked it. I think the much softer version is better. She did amazing.
Autumn Wilkins shush up micheal Jackson did it when he was frickin 8 Look it up
no one:

stop hating on her she can sing ✨
😂
Not right
She can sing
I love her version so peaceful and calm.....
I had no idea this existed and CZcams recommended it 😂
1. Not every singer is a vocalist
2. She was in her early stages when she was still learning singing wouldn’t it be awesome if we judged everyones singing ability in a time when they were learning and growing? Check out of the woods acoustic performance from rep tour
She sings so good
The song she sang when she was younger and then, she was so lit 🔥🔥🔥
she's not a bad singer, but she's not a strong vocalist
She's great you're just jealous she's better than you'll ever be
+eating raw faces is my least favorite thing to do. shush, i'm trying to be nice
Your right, her vocals do need work.
Right
I like to see you sing. Upload it to your channel. Better watch what you say.
National Anthem (Taylor’s Version) Taylor for president
National Anthem (Taylor’s Version)
I think she started singing that in the wrong note for her Voice. It was too low for where her Voice is the best at. She’s a dynamic Artist, Musician and Song Writer. Not to mention what a genuine Soul that she is.
Love you Taylor! 0:30
Her voice heals me
Love this version😍💗 sweet
Girl, it is the anthem, not a radio song. What is she doing with that guitar?
Playing it
Don't be rude
playing it, she can sing it with a guitar or anything she wants. Gaga sang it with a piano.
She's had this guitar since 2008 so you're a little late.
She was trying to pluck on her guitar to make up for the fact that she cannot sing at all.
Watching at January 2024. Cant wait for Taylor's Version! 🫶🫶🫶
Taylor Swift loves her Philly teams!!
A true voice of an angel ❤
She makes you believe in this country again.
Happy to say she's come a long way! This sounded like a high school talent show. I've heard better 😊
She is so wonderful and did a wonderful job.
