This song calls out that very person who can't stay committed to a relationship. Taylor also got the high pitched ‘Stay’ from a dream! love that she's inspired from that

The fact that this video has the least number of views amongst 1989 TV Lyric videos shows that its STILL the most criminally underrated song from the album😭i just love this so much

love how she kept the "STAY!" in the chorus slightly sharp like the original, that part's always been so satisfying

I've always felt like people have slept on All You Had to Do Was Stay and How You Get the Girl because of the other gems on this album and Taylor's Version of both songs reinforces my belief. She just never ceases to amaze

All You Had to Do Was Stay had me tearing up. Taylor isn't afraid to be vulnerable and transparent with her own emotions, and that's what makes her incredible in her own right as a musical artist.

I feel like this is an underrated Taylor song, this one is fabulous. And to have it remade with Taylor's Version, so glad to have this in my life again. Thank you for all the re-recordings Taylor, you are the best!

Crazy to think she's been in the game 15+ years and stronger now then ever, all her success is more then well deserved

It has to be one of my favorites so far, her mature voice made the song even better, the lyric video is amazing, we could literally the the universe in her eyes, loving the aesthetic, they really put everything that I love together

This was the first song in the original 1989 album that stole my heart completely. It’s so cathartic to be able to enjoy Taylor’s Version right here, right now.

The last 13 min waiting for this album to be released was the longest in my life!!!

The visuals got me sparkling with nostalgia. Her eyes are just as beautiful, and her eye zoom was just very satisfying. I wish there was a music video which had a very similar scene with Taylor, but it zooms into her pupil and shows a galaxy, then shows like her past, her success, etc.

Use me as "Taylor is a legend" button.

This song meant so much to me after i was ghosted and traumatized by a guy i thought i would spend the rest of my life with after nearly 2 years of knowing him and i just. This song was so special.

Who is here in 2024? I left a message, so that everyone who reads this message knows that I wish them the best. I wish you much success, health, love and happiness!

the fact that she didn't blink a the beging was crazy great job Taylor Swift!!

Taylor is incredible. Be thankful that she performs for this planet. Truly the most incredible talent you will ever see. I worked as her stage manager on recent tour. Phenomenal. You go Taylor!

This album made me feel like i was waiting over a decade for this TV✨️😢 lots of love Taylor

This lyric video... it's something from another world. The blue in her eyes is just beautiful 🩵

All You Had to Do Was Stay has been one of my all time favorite TS songs since this album was released. Happy to see everyone appreciating this awesome updated (and better version) song in the comments 🎶

I love how Taylor it's not afraid of sharing her feelings to the world. Even though this song hasn't got many views, it's a masterpiece. And the eye zoom was so smooth. She's so beautiful💖💖

she hit that stay note perfectly!

Reliving 1989 all over again!!!

this is officially the song with the MOST saddest lyrics but the most upbeat music 😭

Taylor Swift's voice is from heaven, the voice of an angel, the voice of hope, the voice of everything. I'm loving the songs (Taylor' s Version )

Can’t believe I was in elementary school when 1989 was released & now I’m graduating from high school listening to this again ❤

SHE NEVER DISAPPOINTS 💙😭

This is one of my favourites from 1989 it’s so crisp and clear on TV! Does anyone else recognise the eyes from the 1989 tour visuals!

Such an underrated song. Its such a beautiful teary-eyed type of song

Taylor never fails to make us feel something ❤❤❤

This song was always something in my heart

I am so proud of Taylor. This song has always been one of my favorites on this album and this rerecord sounds even better!😍💙

Man, she makes the best songs even better, trust me.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD CRY WITH 1989 BUT THE EXCITEMENT MADE ME CRY

In this video we can see her eyes opening and closing, just like how Taylor got her inspiration for this song: she was woken up by a dream of her wanting to tell her ex to leave, but all that came outta her mouth was the high pitched "stay" we heard in the song.

THE LYRIC VIDEO IS BEAUTIFUL!! EVERY ALBUM THEY GET BETTER AND THIS SONG IS FINALLY GETTING THE LOVE IT DESERVES

SEND THIS ALBUM TO THE TOP OF THE BILLBOARD CHARTS!

Why do I feel that this song had the best glow up after the re-release? ❤❤

One of the most underrated songs EVER.

This woman is a GREAT singer and songwriter. IDGAF what nobody says otherwise.

❤Every time I hear the incredibly great part where the choir sings : STAY ❗️ I get goosebumps.

Will this song ever get the Justice it deserves?! Is now the time. Come on people!!!! 💙 but imagine these lyrics on a piano ballad 😭😭😭😭

Loving the vibe of these lyric videos being customized to the individual songs. ❤

Vastly underrated and one of my favorites from 1989, Taylor explains feelings we've all experienced so well ...💘

Incredible, eloquent, really just gorgeous. Yet somehow still severely underrated?? c'mon this song is AMAZING

People like you always want back the love they gave away And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed The more I think about it now, the less I know All I know is that you drove us off the road Stay Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? Hey, now you say you want it back Now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was stay Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made People like you always want back the love they pushed aside But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? Hey, now you say you want it back Now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay, stay, stay, stay, stay) Let me remind you This was what you wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) You ended it You were all I wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) But not like this Not like this Not like this Oh, all you had to do was- Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? Hey, now you say you want it back Now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy All you had to do was (stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? Hey, now you say you want it back Now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy (all you had to do was stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) oh All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) ooh All you had to do was (stay)

Beautiful, bright, stylish, multi talented famously connected , These are some of her Awesome social status labels, beyond a million of Taylor's music label ✨

This whole album has been serving

seeing this live at the 1989 tour completely changed my relationship with this song. such a gem, i will always cherish it

This song deserves more!! Its a masterpiece... just as awesome as Taylor ❤

let's see how many legend and fans are still listening to this masterpiece

Her eyes tell us a lot. Love this song. It is so underrated.

Anyone else listening in order 😍 I’m listening on Spotify and simultaneously playing the lyric videos 😂

One of my all-time favorite Taylor swift songs!

THIS is how you solidify 1989 as one of the best pop albums 💙

I'm so grateful I was born around the same time as Taylor Swift

Taylor’s lyric vids are amazing. The most quality of a vid since Harry Potter.

All you had to do was stay was the song that won my loyalty towards Taylor, She deserves everything!

Taylor is truly a mastermind, she used the 1989 world tour visuals of the song to the lyrics video…that’s why we love her

The difference between the original and this is touching. And the visuals in the lyric video are definitely great too. At least this version's going to stay (and hopefully slay, not remaining in the shadow of 1989 (Taylor's Version)'s hit songs).

¿Alguien puede explicarme estos Lirycs videos? Osea son una maldita maravilla. Se que mencionar el cambio en la voz de Taylor es una obviedad. Pese a eso, siento que está es la canción que mas suena a su versión original por el momento. Está era una de mis canciones favoritas del álbum así que estoy súper contenta de tener esta versión. La versión original no pudo quedarse con nosotros pero está definitivamente lo hará ❤❤❤❤

The way she conveyed her emotion is incredible! And that beat is out of the world!!

I literally never heard this song before but while revisiting this album with the TV I'm just blown away. How did I miss this back in the day? It's amazing! 😍

Taylor you have such an amazing voice

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS SLAYY

By far my favorite of this album and one of Taylor’s most underrated songs

Taylor will always be a legend

Dancing to this song in my room right now. Thankyou Taylor.

All you had to do was Stay is such an underrated masterpiece and track 5 like she deserve her flowers🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Such a beautiful underrated song ,hope it gets more recognition, I really love it and I’m really happy it’s ours again ❤

I recently listened to this song closely that too during Eras Tour. Love how meaningful and relatable it is. This shows the depth of Taylor as a songwriter its not just a song but has layers and layers of emotions and facts. In reality we often find such people and wants to convey the same. On a personal note its my favourite song after i understand it more.💙💙💙💙

Always one of my favorites! ❤

The eye opening in the chorus beat drop is so beautiful ❤❤❤

I lost my best friend during the COVID Pandemic. This song means so much to me personally and emotionally. I love this version too

More than beautiful performance. Very nice song 😍❤

THIS SOUNDS LIKE DREAMING ALIVE, SO CUTE, THIS WILL BE FOREVER AND EVER ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS OF 1989 💙💙💙

Taylor has taught me that I can be a strong girl and at the same time show vulnerability. Thank you Taylor for being who you are and shareing your stories and experiences with all of us

1:00 to 1:16 tay's eye looks like the eye in the thumbnail of the "...Ready For It?" mv!!

Always know the lyrics to this song. Best song off this album besides New Romantics!!!!

Thank you, Taylor! This song has been my back pocket since the first day I Afer heard it. No disappointment here great version. Your voice amazing again thank you.

this song is so underrated and damn sad, hopefully tv gives it the recognition it deserves ♥♥♥

Still one of my faves! 💜

I'm so happy I waited till 12:00 am for this release. I love the new vault track songs and I just can't with all these awesome songs!!!

This is my favorite from the album- superb job! I love it ❤

This 1989 re-recorded album is amazing, plus the vault tracks...❤️, TAYLOR SWIFT...

This song and the lyrics always will hit me for life

I'll never understand why this song is so under-appreciated 🤷🏼‍♀️ Its always been a bop and would make a great single 🙌

All you had to do was slay, and you really did Taylor!

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. I never knew anyone this talented. I never knew anyone who could utilise their talent so intelligently... Taylor Swift is not just a singer. She is an artist truthfully. An art personified.

the 1989 world tour visuals omgg

how does the album sound so much more POP its wonderful

This deserve to be a SINGLE!!! PLEASE TAYLOR😢

One of the most underrated songs in her discography ❤

This one of my favourite songs from 1989 and now hearing that she owns it makes it so much better. I love you soooo much Taylor you are so talented in what you are doing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I didn't expect to be in a staring contest with Taylor listening to All You Had to Do Was Stay, but here we are now

I LOVE HIGH PITCHED STAY SHE SLAYED THIS SONG SO MUCH

i love this song so much, it’s one of my favorites

This sounds so similiar than the previous version
