"I've never heard silence quite this LOUD" I really love how she sang that

Anyone here in 2024 ?

This song will truly never go out of style. She is literally a mastermind. The story, the allure, the chords, the uncertainty, the simplicity and aesthetic. It's brilliant.

this is truly like the most 2011 video of all time. the way it could be a montage scene from gossip girl, glee, or pretty little liars. plus, the hipster/nerd aesthetic came out swinging. it was a simpler time and this video is a piece of history.

"You held your pride like you should have held me" "I haven't heard silence this loud"... She is the artist of this era!

"But you held your pride like you should've held me" JUST WOW

Rewatching all Speak Now videos. Wow what a trip down memory lane, I forgot there was a MV for this song. I’ll never get over the fact this and the entirety of the album is self written. It blew my mind then and it blows my mind now. A living legend.

If you break this song down it’s SO much more powerful. Just reading the lyrics without the upbeat, catchy tune and really letting them sink in like poetry….i’m not gonna lie it stings a little. This is for the relationships that you thought would last forever, or at least would have a happy ending but now you see each other and just feel agony, knowing that you once knew everything about each other and were so close, and now you just bring up a cordial smile and act like nothing ever happened. One of the hardest things to do. This song’s peppy melody and music combined with the heart-pouring lyrics prove that Taylor has always been a musical mastermind with depth and SO much talent. This will always be one of my favorites💜

normal people: just apologize taylor swift: but you held your pride like you should’ve held me.

*THIS SONG IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED*

who’s here after the Taylor’s Version announcement!! cause I am!! gosh so excited for July 7!!

CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE NEW VERSION OF THIS UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE

Everyone's talking about how "I used to know my place was a spot next to you, but now I'm searching the room for an empty seat" is an echo to Lover's "At every table, I'll save you a seat", but no one is talking about the evolution of the sentence. In The Story of Us, Taylor is counting on the guy to find a seat, she's relying on him. Whereas in Lover, she is whole and she can find her seat alone, but chooses to have someone (Joe) next to her.

2:07 "I tell you I miss you but I dont know how I've never heard silence quite this loud" my fav part fr fr

2024 anyone?

"I've never heard silence quite this LOUD!" The way she says it is just chefs kiss💋

Taylor is, without doubt, one of the finest lyricists in the modern era. Her ability to tell a story with her lyrics is amazing - she is a lot like Dolly Parton in that regard.

Anyone insanely excited for this to be remade!?????? I cannot wait for her to scream “I’ve never heard silence quite this loud” again!

This era was absolutely magic, here after the Taylor's announcement for Speak Now the 7th July 💜

Seriously can’t wait for The Story of Us TV at midnight!!! 😭I am crying with nostalgic tears, but so full of excitement for Taylor’s Version. 💜💜💜

"you held your pride like you should've held me" it's 2019 and i still can't get over this masterpiece

*CAN'T WAIT HOW THIS SONG WILL BE PLAYED ON THE RE-RECORDED VERSION*

I love how the music is so upbeat and the lyrics is just heartbreak

Other Artists: We used to be together Taylor Swift: I used to know my place was the spot next to you, now I’m searching the room for an empty seat

Speak Now is one of her best albums. PERIODT

I'm proudly declaring that Taylor's career never flopped, she's been the queen for more than a decade i-

12 years ago I was a high school girl looping this song at home. 12 years gone by and now I'm 5 years into corporate, suddenly think of this song and couldn't help to put it on loop again. Surprisingly I still remember every lyrics and sing along. And Taylor is absolutely gorgeous in this MV!!😍🎶

I do not understand how swifties underrated THIS MASTERPIECE

Okay but if you don’t scream “next chapter” and “the end” every single time, what are you even doing with your life

*I’m sad that one of Taylor’s most amazing songs is underrated.*

“I’ve never heard silence quite this loud” such a great line

anyone here june 2024?

Speak Now was really THAT era. This song plus "Mean" and "Back to December" are easily her best lyrics, hands down. And she wrote them all by herself. Legendary

No one: Taylor casually having a breakdown in the library:

I've never resonated with a Taylor swift song like this one. This perfectly describes my current love life.

I swear this is the most underrated song of Taylor's whole career. It has great lyrics, an infectious melody and instrumentation, perfectly capturing how it feels to be alienated from someone you used to be close to. She even released it as a single (her very first solo single not to be sent to country radio, but to the pop format, even before I Knew You Were Trouble) but it failed, I don't know why.

Unpopular Opinion: This is one of the best Taylor Swift songs

The Story Of Us (Taylor’s Version) will change my life

the "next chapter" is so cute

The lyrics you are looking for: I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us How we met and the sparks flew instantly People would say, "they're the lucky ones" I used to know my place was a spot next to you Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat 'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on Oh, a simple complication Miscommunications lead to fall out So many things that I wish you knew So many walls up I can't break through Now I'm standing alone In a crowded room And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down and the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now next chapter How'd we end up this way? See me nervously pulling at my clothes And trying to look busy And you're doing your best to avoid me I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us How I was losing my mind when I saw you here But you held your pride like you should have held me Oh, I'm scared to see the ending Why are we pretending this is nothing? I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how I've never heard silence quite this loud Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down and the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now This is looking like a contest Of who can act like they care less But I liked it better when you were on my side The battle's in your hands now But I would lay my armor down If you'd say you'd rather love than fight So many things that you wish I knew But the story of us might be ending soon Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down and the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now, the end

This is probably the most realistic break up song for me. No dramatic toxicity, just sad awkwardness.

"I'll tell you I miss you but I don't know how, I've never heard silence quite this loud." Hits so hard after breaking up with my best friend

FINALLY WE'RE GETTING SPEAK NOW TAYLOR'S VERSION I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW VERSION OF THIS SONG 😭😭

Who's having a 2021 Taylor Swift Marathon right now

"this is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less" *ouch*

Ainda bem que já posso ouvir a versão dela. Não aguentava mais ter que pular essa no spotify!!!!! Uma obra de arte que morou no top 10 mtv

will forever and always love this song it is TIMELESS

the amazing thing about Taylor's songs is the accuracy of the lyrics, the way she describes perfectly some of these relationship phases from a female standpoint is mindblowing, her music just speaks to me on a whole different level

What a phenomenal writer! Those lyrics are literally poetic!

I keep coming back to this music video (even after speak now Taylor’s version comes out) this mv is just on another level! One of my fav music videos by tay

Love that the band members, most of whom are still playing with her to this day on the eras tour (Amos, Mike, David), are in this music video ❤️❤️

She's a lyrical genius

I remembered my 16 year old self singing along to this wholeheartedly even though i haven’t experienced being in a relationship yet. And almost 10 years later, I still haven’t been in a relationship but still singing this song to my heart’s content.

I love the energy of the drummer!

Taylor Swift creates music that resonates so deeply with her supporters; definitely got to appreciate an artist that is that courageous in expressing their vulnerability and authenticity.

"This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less" Why are we so anxious to conceal emotions..

Even after Blank Space, Bad Blood and even Wildest Dreams... This music video will ALWAYS be my favorite.

Taylor is seriously gifted at singing she deserves so much more support and respect 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

I miss this kind of chaos in 2000s heartbreak music videos !!!!!!😩

Can we just appreciate how beautiful Taylor looks in all of these scenes?

This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored. Edit: Mom, I'm famous!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT 12 YEARS WE'D HAVE A TAYLOR VERSION OF OF THIS 😭❤

This is one her most underrated songs it deserves so much more love

If you're reading this that means you're alive and all you need to do is breath. Everything is going to be okay, tomorrow is a new day, smile,laugh because you are amazing and beautiful and i bet you brighten someone's day! i hope you have an amazing day, i care

Fun Fact:Speak Now doesnt get much attention like cmon 18 year old Taylor wrote this by herself

can we all take a moment to appreciate the little details taylor puts into her work( the book pages are the lyrics to the song)

Forgot how much I loved that video. That was one of the first song she did that I thought OK this kid’s gonna be a star so well done.

My favourite line is "l have never heard silence quite this loud" because that says a lot.......

"Next chapter" & "the end" always stays iconic

THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!❤

Standing alone in a crowded room and we aren't speaking...its killing me....my current situation.

Please someone please tell me why I am binge watching all of Taylor’s old songs I am absolutely obsessed!! I love her videos!!!!

This is the best Taylor Swift song ever! I am still salty because she did not sing it at any of the 3 Era Tour Shows I attended (Vegas Night 2, LA Night 2, and LA Night 4). The day I hear this song live will be the day I hit my peak in life. This song got me through middle and high school. And almost 13 years later I still very much relate to this song. This is not just my favorite Taylor Swift song but I can say with confidence that it is my favorite song of all time!

How can it just have 145 million views !!!! I mean seriously.. it's a master piece !! It deserves much more !

T - The Story Of Us A - All Too Well Y - You Belong With Me L - Love Story O - Our Song R - Red S - Speak Now W - willow I - I Knew You Were Trouble F - Fearless T - Tim Mcgraw

1 decade of being a swiftie. Starting to become one when I was bullied on junior high. Her songs save my life. Now I'm a bachelor of engineering. How time flies and she is still a legend.

I wanna listen to this song on loop after loop and I will never get bored

Nunca conocí esta parte de Taylor Swift como compositora, osea unas palabras muy "básica" pero que le da ese toque tan realista. Amo esta canción. Es tan notorio el cambio con su Taylor Version

How i See Taylor's albums as places Debut - lake with mountain and flowers Fearless - countryside with farms Speak Now - cherry blossom forest Red - autumn 1989 - city with high buildings reputation - dark forest with fireflies Lover - flower forest folklore - woods

"This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less." Brilliant.

So nice to hear her perform this in Singapore LIVE tonight!!

she's the tortured poet department

"I've never heard silence quite this loud" 😍🔥

We all can literally listen to Taylor when we're sad, happy, angry, depressed, excited or nostalgic...I swear I can live alone with her music... She's the definition of Iconic...

Here in 2024? 👇🏻

Can’t express how much I LOVE this song

Never experienced a heartbreak or a boyfriend but I will scream this song from the top of my lungs with PASSION

To the person who is reading this... I probably don’t know you, but judging by your choice of music, we would be great friends.

her old songs still makes me happy

the dark academia aesthetic and the concept for this video in general ate

I love how the music is so upbeat and cheerful while the lyrics are heartbreaking

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us How we met and the sparks flew instantly People would say, "they're the lucky ones" I used to know my place was a spot next to you Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat 'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on Oh, a simple complication Miscommunications lead to fall out So many things that I wish you knew So many walls up I can't break through Now I'm standing alone In a crowded room And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down and the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now next chapter How'd we end up this way? See me nervously pulling at my clothes And trying to look busy And you're doing your best to avoid me I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us How I was losing my mind when I saw you here But you held your pride like you should have held me Oh, I'm scared to see the ending Why are we pretending this is nothing? I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how I've never heard silence quite this loud Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down and the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now This is looking like a contest Of who can act like they care less But I liked it better when you were on my side The battle's in your hands now But I would lay my armor down If you'd say you'd rather love than fight So many things that you wish I knew But the story of us might be ending soon Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down and the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now, the end

Solo unas horas hasta escuchar esta obra de arte siendo propiedad de Taylor 🥰💜

Taylor such a clear beautiful voice 😊

anyone just randomly binge-watching taylor's past music videos?????

This is highly underrated

This song is, well you could say underrated… but if you can relate to it, it’s truly a diamond in a pile of jewels each a song in their own glimmer and shine.

I wish i knew Taylor's music when i was teenager.

Anybody that likes Taylor Swift is my bestie automatically

As a guy, I could listen to her music everyday. Such a country vibe 😎
