[@maryannsullivan7724]

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.

[@TomF18]

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.)

[@ssgssgi]

@@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.

[@TomF18]

@@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.

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.

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 am 61 and this is the 2nd best rendition of the national anthem I have ever seen. The first was Whitney Houston's.

[@Ohyeahkoolaidgirl]

Who is here after Ingrid Andress 👇🏻

[@eshav.official]

This is pure talent - being able to sing the anthem beautifully and play guitar perfectly for such a big crowd at such a young age. I was never a swiftie but mad respect for this and other her entire career now

0:08 here to honor America, and its national treasure: Taylor Swift

[@lorymaster7264]

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)

[@latinadavis3691]

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!

[@EvelynMedrano-s3q]

​@@latinadavis3691exactly!! I'm so tired of people forcing her to sing like Gaga or Grande 😭

[@carlandreiatienza8511]

[@SanjayBelarmino]

I am a Filipino.... I just realized this.............. thx

[@eunicemendoza7069]

😮 thank you I search just now about balanggiga finally returned to our country, Philippines

[@peterossetti827]

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"

[@allyslayz]

Her voice has changed so much, taylor is just everything to my world.

[@Itsam-eu4tf]

Love this version😍💗 sweet

[@charlesallen325]

Finally, a song she sung that I could understand the words.

[@vanshmishra7119]

such an innocence in her voice ..........also she didnt scream it like screamtina and sounded pleasant at least!

[@mahya012]

Vansh Mishra i lost it at screamtina hahaha

[@raymondpasto]

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

[@swiftiee_official]

I'm not American, but this is one of the sweetest and most beautiful covers I have ever seen

[@johnpalmer5934]

Bro how am I getting this in 2024, ITS FROM 8 YERS AGO

[@korikremer6761]

Its from 16 yrs ago actually..

[@zoster_toaster]

math is mathing lol

[@OhGher187]

I had to come back 16 years later because I forgot how the anthem sounds like after hearing Ingrid Andress.

[@ShiningBrightlyEachDay]

A true voice of an angel ❤

[@FeliciaW.]

So respectful and beautiful.

[@seanmccloskey7780]

She is my favorite singer

[@mariadesuza5811]

I can feel her inner thing going on when she sings. I mean she is excited and nervous but she is amazing.

[@ohhhhmy3lly]

sweet Voice #YouNeedToCalmDown #Philippines

[@denismelvin222]

Who has seen Ms Taylor Swift in concert in 2024?

[@julia4696]

Here after Ingrid ?

[@JohnGoberni]

This is natural, God given talent, coupled with a charisma and poise to electrify audiences around the globe 🌍.

[@XaniaKorinec]

She's one of the few who actually uses 3/4 for the anthem, most other artists sing it in 4/4 arrangement

[@TimmyTickle]

Didn’t Francis Scott Key originally write it in 3/4?

[@XaniaKorinec]

@@TimmyTickle Probably but most artists sing it in 4/4

[@latinadavis3691]

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!

[@dylanedmonds6819]

National Anthem (Taylor’s Version) Taylor for president

[@Ambarthetravellingchef]

This young girl had no idea how many mean and evil people she would come across, but also she still didn't know how strong and amazing she is and how she would overcome all of it to become TS!

[@thomasbiore]

Watching at January 2024. Cant wait for Taylor's Version! 🫶🫶🫶
