Here is an AWESOME compilation of her power vocals kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9tdo7yYy7qspJc.htmlsi=bAkIK_U3ol5hj9jo

Of her EARLIER vocals

Make one you think showcases better! 😃

@@Hey_JamieReputation stadium tour

they are still performances

@@mariabetweentheseas Yeah but the worst ones, not how she sounded on average

Yea like maybe they should pick something some clips from her other tours

She also definitely makes choices based on how she's feeling vocally which is great since she's performing 3+ hours for 3 nights in a row most nights and that's the only way that is sustainable.

I think they started improving during 1989 era but were still not there but during rep they've been SO much better and now at the eras with a 3h show she's doing AMAZING

💚💚💚💚💚

Yeah for sure, they sounded more mature than her Eras before during the 1989. But her performance during Speak Now was amazing even without her mature voice😩

I think that her vocals have been slowly improving her entire career actually, but I specifically noticed a difference on her RECORDINGS between Speak Now and Red eras, as a non-fan at that time who heard only her singles! So it’s cool to hear the comparisons here starting with all these Red performances, which I felt was a time with really a huge leap in her vocal improvement to begin with. I think she’s worked with vocal coaches her whole career, but of course all vocal coaches are not created equal. And the point about health and stamina, especially with her ED, was an excellent point as well. I think the 3+ hour set for Eras is remarkable… she’s sung the majority of it live this whole tour leg and there’s only a few nights she’s seemed hoarse (the video clip for Trouble actually in this video she seems hoarse, could be from a night she was sick or coughing) or relied on her track for a few notes. She’s definitely made choices for what descants and notes and runs she does on Eras Tour to preserve her voice through the set, though, so I don’t think the choice of which notes she’s doing is as much of an indicator. For instance, she doesn’t sing the high “oooh” notes in the Cruel Summer chorus, she has the audience do it. But she clearly loves some of these big belt moments (always has since she was younger, and loves doing “the pose”), so she’s picked which ones for this tour she’s going to go all out for (Don’t Blame Me is probably the biggest and has been her most beloved belt moment by fans since it came out). It’s also interesting to me to compare awards show’s performances to her own concerts. I would actually be interested to compare some of these really bad televised performances with good fan video (not official video) of the tour that occurred FOR that album, same year or close to it. She has said she gets VERY nervous for awards performances or televised appearances, probably because she doesn’t feel like the audience is on her side or there to see her, compared to an audience full of fans at her own shows. She also is kind of overly sensitive/hard on herself when it comes to how the rest of the industry, critics, etc, see her and receive her music- very praise/recognition driven. There’s an awards show performance from 1989 era where she felt she did so poorly that she was back in her seat, crying afterwards and her friend Selena Gomez comforts her. And those performances are one-offs; you may or may not get brief soundchecks, but with no crowds, the dynamics change. It’s not crewed by your own people, it’s not your own mics and tech, and you and your band don’t get the amount of practice and multiple performances to get accustomed to the sound and hearing yourself. I don’t expect for every note to be perfect from any live performance, but I think performers will always sound best live on their OWN tour where they have more control over those factors and any kinks are worked out after the first couple stops (I also learned my lesson when subscribing to the Broadway tours at my local performing arts center: don’t subscribe to the first few nights, pick a night that will be later in the run!)

Yes, same with Blank Space

On the 1989 tour she did actually bring it up and I think it sounds way better but yeah she was definitely doing it on purpose

Came here to say this too

I thought this! She doesn't stay on that top note because that's not the song. Even in the studio version, she goes back down, that's just the melodic line. Other than those few performance where she went up another note (if you know the ones I'm talking about)

finally someone said it. i love her but the way she doesn't even know the studio ver is making me sadddd 😭

Not just a show, a 44+ song, 3.5 hour long show BACK TO BACK nights!

That sounds amazing. I’m finally gonna go next year!! I’m so excited

@@Hey_Jamie back to back to back 😭😭

I agree, and now I’m trying to go to two more concerts. So worth it.

@@Hey_Jamie and she’ll be doing it for basically two years maybe even longer just how does somebody do that every week? She’s a machine.

yes exactly, televised performances definitely made her super nervous, it kept getting better throught years, but singing at award shows and such was always really stressful for her which definitely affected her vocal perfomances

yeah the person who made the video picked the worst performances lol

@@jimmylu1352 yeah.....or the Grammys 2021 were really good...even tho idk, how exactly did they record that cuase of pandemic, so maybe the nervousness wasn't as big, but I think she already reacted to that anyway

@@adabadoskova2915 Or the BBC Live Lounge performances from New York in 2019. Those are great performances.

I totally agree with the televised stuff. Even back then, when her Performances were "weaker" Overall, as long as she felt comfortable and felt more in control she did quite well. Especially 1989 was very lack luster concerning her televised Gigs, but at her own shows she was incredible

I second this!!! The tiny desk concert is one of my favorite live Taylor performances, I love to watch it back! edit: typo

I don't think the tiny desk performances were quite good but the grammy museums were definitely better

The tiny desk performance wasn't that good...

@@Sam-rv6bt hence the growth I was talking about

@@meggzilla009 aren't the grammy museum performances before the tiny desk 💀

Her lower register is like chocolate now ❤

she's an Alto right?

I love that as an alto I finally had an album to sing along to!

And "hate" it because I can't really sing songs like champange problems😢

What date are you going to Wembley? I’m going 22/6/24

+

Ik acc

its still awful

@@jolly-ol-grump Her mid belts are pretty solid now. She´s supporting up to B4/C5 and even up to E5 she´s doing good and don´t carry that much tension. + her lower register is phenomenal for a soprano. You clearly have something with ears, know nothing about singing or just straight up saying nonsense because you´re hater.

⁠@@jolly-ol-grumpawful? But she’s a billionaire

@@nevaehowens2235 jeffrey epstein and Diddy are also rich af. Whats your point? Awful people and/or awful talent makes money. We also made JoJo Siwa, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Whoa Vicky, any tiktoker singer, Katy Perry, Bob Dylan, Yoko Ono, Adam Levine, etc.. rich for having little to no talent. Should we also rememeber Kanye is a billionaire (or was), all the Kardashians - rich with no talent (but at least they own it).

@@jolly-ol-grump who’s we cause I never made any of those people famous 😂. And what does talent have to do with being a billionaire.

How well you can sing IS NOT based on vocal range though

​@@NatashaRomanoffRosestechnique is tho. She'll just never be Whitney/Kelly/Mariah/Ariana level of vocal performance deal with it.

@@statsguy1446 You don't have to be one of the literal best vocal performers to ever live to be a good singer. Working hard over the years, she's gotten good. Saying what you just said is like saying no woman whose last name isn't Williams is a tennis player worth talking about or commending for her tennis talent.

​@@statsguy1446yet she has more number 1 albums than them and only behind the Beatles and Jay z.

​@statsguy1446 "I see you over there on the Internet comparing all the girls who are killing it" taylor said it herself yall just compare amazing women for the sake of it when they're all amazibg simply in different ways, for example taylor with her emocion, lyrics and lower notes/vocal range (A2-E5, 5 octaves which is insanely impressive), just because she doesn't reach the same high notes as other doesn't make her a bad singer, not all singers have to be sopranos

Seconded!

yesyes

Yess

Facts. Soooooo gooddddd

Oh my god, I just checked it out, that effing fantastic! A little to slow for my taste, I played it at 1.15 speed and that was fire!

Oh yeah,that was my thought too. This is a woman,comfortable with who she is,fully in her power. Love it

I’ve been a swiftie since 2008 and I couldn’t agree more with what you just said! It’s the storytelling, it’s the feelings, the performances, the evolution! 🙌🏻

and she's not scared to try and risk other genres, she's always new.

Same

I get chills whenever I see haunted from the speak now tour because her vocals were incredible as well as dear John

Pretty sure speak now in general is when she started getting vocal lessons

@@booabo yea you can hear the improvement in both studio version and live version

This! I was at the SN tour and Eras. SN was 👌🏻

@@booabo yes! She had been criticized for her vocals so got a coach and worked on her vocals a *lot* between Fearless and Speak Now.

Taylor's vocal range is (F#2) A2 - G5 - D6/E6 - (Bb6) Taylor's range is actually pretty big, she just doesn't show it that often. Her comfort range is like C3 - E5 - G5 and she rarely shows anything more but she can anytime if she wanted.

@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 I know that if she want she can, cause I was so impressed even as a fan about going from All of the girls reaching to a F#5 many times, and then go and sing Cardigan on her next album, it's crazy. I know that if she would want to hit a G5 live multiple times, she would. When she concentrate on singing and technique she nails it. That's why all of the girls, afterglow, cruel summer are among her best vocal performances.

If you get the Hal Leonard piano/guitar/vocal books (I have the first 4 of her albums), the notes are low. Like only in the chorus and maybe the bridge in those first few are the notes high as in maybe G or above on a piano, but a lot of the verses stay around middle C or below.

omg, everyone defending her going down on the note. So many artists vary things after singing the same songs over and over. Live performances aren't always going to be EXACTLY like a recorded version of a song.

@@slojinPA so many artists, but shes just not one of them.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@slojinPAthat note does go down in the song thou 😭

@@gabbyjohnston07 great. I wonder how everyone would react if she ever decided to mix it up, vary a note somewhere. You'd all probably short-circuit.

@@slojinPAbro is fuming over this 😭

Same. I thought that being in my mid to late 30s when she debuted was creepy. It was MIDNIGHTS that turned me to a fan (even though I was obsessed with SHAKE IT OFF when it was released! )

I totally get that! Honestly I find the fan videos showcase her better singing, even if it's lower quality recording

I KNOW IM SO ANNOYED LIKE ITS MEANT TO BE LIKE THAT LIKE DONT DISRESPECT TAYLOR finally someone who noticed this

@@Ur_daylight.13 She wasn’t disrespecting Taylor. She just didn’t know that’s how the song goes. But I still agree with her, it would sound a lot better if Taylor belted higher.

It’s not hate. It’s simply not the most efficient or most stable way to create the sound. It’s very different than hating on someone’s voice. To improve, we must first start somewhere.

There’s a difference between criticism and hate.

she lost some weight long before tour started, but it's still healthy. She's not too thin and if you see some closer pictures of her she actually grew some muscles. I think she lost some weight just cause of a lot of exercise while she was preparing for the tour, but since then her weight is consistent and still healthy. I don't think there is anything to worry about.

44 songs every show actually

She gets help 😂 I'm sure there's a background track that is helping her.

💕45 songs, not 32 and there will be more new shows too

@@Julesb2183okay and?

@@Petunia1738 That would mean she is not as superhuman as people want to believe her to be. Her vocals are strong because they're backing her if she falters, not due to her own talent or stamina.

I'm almost 40 as well and only fell in love with Taylor in the past couple of years. I love all of them, but Folklore and Evermore and my top 2.

You're so welcome!

Adele?

@@psyche.9262 her high note here was ON POINT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/baeVh7GE17uRZHk.html

@@psyche.9262Adele is performing and is on tour. she has an amazing voice but live performances were a bit rough sometimes.

I love this video, like those clear vocals are just sooooooooooooooo satisfying, like I want those 16 second on a loop

@@adabadoskova2915yess. If you want here’s the video where her vocal coach talks about her kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rc92oqyQv9DacaM.html ❤

@@Veditz287 OMG THANK YOU, I don't think I've seen that

@@Veditz287 he imitated her quite well, I must say, I can literally hear her in this

⁠@@adabadoskova2915es I genuinely think that the reason her early vocals weren’t as strong was because she came from a musical theatre background. When she was a kid she was in the sound of music and she was singing with vibrato etc. She also auditioned for les mis and beat out hundreds of auditioners then got down to the last two. So overall I feel that she’s capable of delivering PHENOMENAL vocals ❤
