I finally understand the appeal of Taylor. She makes you feel as if you’re in on the secret, a fantasy world of bedsheets hung up to form a backdrop for a theater production in a tree house, of friends lying on the grass giggling at the stars, where cool kids or nerdy kids don’t matter, and all that matters is that you’re laughing in the moment. The power of her worldcraft is amazing.

Totally get that, and agree that there's nothing degrading about the comment, and that her music can be enjoyed by anyone. But my point was that we shouldn't feel it necessary to ever qualify our opinions by stating our age, race, gender, etc. The fact that sometimes we do that, is revealing of an insecurity many of us have, that we're somehow different from others in some significant way because of that particular quality. It's like we're either hedging our bets or we're bragging about somehow being different. When someone comments on a great piece of guitar work, it's irrelevant if they are (insert qualifying characteristic here) or not. All that matters is their opinion. Now, if that person lets us know that he or she is a professional guitarist, and gives some insights unique to that perspective, then it makes sense to state that fact up front. But to comment on a singer or a song doesn't require an age qualifier or any other. It should be enough for us to say, "Hey, I like this singer or song, because the melody is awesome and the lyrics really reach me". @@hannahlong1688

I love the quiet simplicity of a tiny room performance. Ni bells and whistles. No fanfare. Just a person and her songs and her sincerity. I loved it. I loved her personality and genuineness and her total naturalness in her music.

That “my body my love” in death by a thousand cuts gives me goosebumps every time!!! What an incredible performance

FINALLY! Someone else who sees all these bot accounts pretending to be old people just discovering her "music" lol

Honest to God, I have never listened to Taylor Swift, ever. I am a 64 y/o aging man, product of the 1970s. Despite not being musically talented, in the least, I truly count on music to transcend and guide my every mood and have a deep love and respect for all currents of music. Until I tripped over this video, I had no idea just how talented Ms Swift actually is. She has a beautiful voice and in this format, " acoustical" , for lack of better words, is very becoming of her and has absolutely changed my perception of her. My lucky day, I guess

It’s hard to imagine that a singer who performs in stadium tours can be so humble and never forgets where she comes from. She’s down to earth, and her songs still sound good without all the pop instruments and effects. Along with Adele, they are one of the very few artists that can achieve that. Taylor should really make an acoustic album Edit: I’ve been a swiftie for so long I know that she had acoustic albums, I meant that she should make an acoustic album for her songs in her pop era (deluxe versions are not enough!

Tiny Desk fan for ages but missed this one back in 2019. Came here because my daughters are total Swifties and I sought out a TS performance that wasn't auto-tuned or pitch-corrected (and Tiny Desk shows are always the real deal.) I knew Taylor could sing, but I want my daughters to appreciate how expressive a performance can be when a singer's original nuance (even if it means going a little flat or sharp here and there) is preserved.

I am hearing about this Taylor Swift person on the news all the time so I came here to see what all the fuss is about. I’m a senior but I get it. The Tiny Desk is a good intro to her. I have watched some of the big production and found myself listening to , Calm Down on loop for a few times. Great, fun song. This young woman is the real deal. I guess I’m a senior Swifty now 😅

the foreshadowing of her talking about what she would do if she were to be happy and she would tell stories through songs and that’s literally what she did on folklore is WOW 🤩🤩

The real glow up here is Taylor going from singing “it was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well” to ‘it was rare, you were there, you remember it all too well”. She is truly happy and can’t remember her heartbreak anymore 🥺
