*She chooses to sing this song in 2019 just to remind us that RED still deserves grammy*

CAN'T WAIT FOR HER TO RERECORD ALL OF HER ALBUMS!!!

This version sounds like it belongs on folklore

why am I only just witnessing this BLESSING

original holy ground: appreciation and celebration acoustic holy ground: longing and nostalgia

Taylor's back up singers really complements taylor's voice.

The way she says "and the story's got dust on every page," is absolutely beautiful

Still very upset this version didn’t get a studio recording “from the vault” on Red Taylor’s Version so i can play it on Spotify 😖

She just literally said red deserved a grammy!!!

This sounds like Holy Ground grew up, went to college, saw some shit then came back more beautiful than before like she glowing 😭❤️❤️❤️

I hope Taylor re-records holy ground in this style. It’s incredible

This is factual proof that the girl is such a strong song writer. Holy ground is so uptempo you dont realize how heart breaking the actual song is. I love this version of Holy ground i wish it was on streaming or maybe when she re records RED she will include this version too.

It’s crazy to hear this because the original is sooo fast

Imagine singing Last Kiss and Enchanted with this level of maturity. I would love to hear that.

Patiently waiting for Enchanted, Dear John and Last Kiss to devastate me.

Holy ground is such an underrated song. :(

can you imagine treacherous with this new maturity to her voice? i’m update: imagine a studio version of her covering babe, wOW

Taylor's vocals are doing better than they ever were

I was and am honestly surprised that this slower, more soulful and contemplative take on "Holy Ground" didn't make it onto Red TV.

I cant sleep just to think about how good the re-recording version is gonna be

People don't realize how this album gets personal with every listen....Red is devastatingly underrated period

*Remember folks, this is just a TEASER to how STUNNING the re-recording albums would be. Bye.*

I’ve found that a lot of her rep to lover era performances of her older songs have a prominent feeling that the emotions she put into the originals are long gone. But there’s something beautiful about this one. I can tell that she remembers exactly how she felt when she wrote the song, and I feel like the way she decided to communicate it is so beautifully honest. Also, props to the chorus singers. They sounded incredible.

Can't wait to hear her re-recording of her old albums. She just sounds amazing.

Sometimes I feel like red lipstick was designed for Taylor Swift.

I really want to hear "All Too Well", and "Treacherous" again with her current era. Oh so much nostalgia.

Imagine state of grace, treacherous, i almost do, sad beautiful tragic, and come back...be here with this voice? I'll probably play this album nonstop

I was reminiscing just the other day While having coffee all alone and Lord, it took me away Back to a first-glance feeling on New York Time Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme Took off faster than a green light "Go" Hey, you skip the conversation when you already know I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made And that was the first day And darling, it was good never looking down And right there where we stood was holy ground Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress We had this big wide city all to ourselves We blocked the noise with the sound of "I need you" And for the first time I had something to lose And I guess we fell apart in the usual way And the story's got dust on every page But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now And I see your face in every crowd 'Cause darling, it was good never looking down And right there where we stood was holy ground Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you It was good never looking down And right there where we stood was holy ground Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you

Some people are saying that she shouldn't rerecord everything - because it won't be the same - but that's the beautiful thing. Yes, her voice changed. It grew up. But it aged like a fine wine, and I can't wait to her some of her old songs with this new level of maturity.

RED's gonna take back that Grammy award after the rerecording.

3:43 is the best sound I’ve ever heard. Haunting, ethereal, beautiful. The backup singers deserve a bonus for this one

Her band, her background singers always seem proud of her.

Why it feels like its 2012 (RED era) all over again

IMAGINE HOW GOOD THE RE-RECORDING ARE GOING TO BE OMFG WOW

i’m so impressed with how much her singing has improved over the years

Just came here after seeing her perform this at the Eras Tour (piano surprise song, Tokyo N1). She sounded INCREDIBLE, I was absolutely blown away and immediately needed to find more acoustic versions of holy ground. I am begging/crying/praying that she will eventually bless us with some high quality recordings of more live Eras performances. Especially some of her acoustic/surprise song sets - those have had some of her best vocal performances to-date!!!

A taste of how amazing her re-recording will be!!! 😍💋💯

*I'm full sobbing because this is my all time favorite off of Red*

Ever since I started med school, everytime I study, on my 5 minutes breaks I always play this version of holy ground. It just makes me reset mentally and just chill. I’m about to finish my second year of med school and I still to this day play this almost daily. Can’t wait for speak now (Taylor’s Version) out July 7th.

"Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme" I love this line so much...

imagine thinking this album didn’t deserve a grammy

The buzz around her album and singles and her fame over all tends to overshadow the fact that she is genuinely so talented, especially when it’s raw like this.

First of all those back up singers deserve some credit; they sound great, their intonation and harmonies without dominating is legit so hard to do. Taylor sounds great too and this arrangement omg 😍

She is a great singer but when she just makes it simple, feeling the lyrics and the emotions without trying to hit a lot of high notes it's when we see her best performances

Taylor, thank you. We have been waiting for this version fo 7 years.

Taylor has this extraordinary ability where she can turn good album tracks into incredible ones just with the power of a stripped down live performance. The sign of a true artist.

This version is a masterpiece. I hope it's made available on streaming platforms.

"For the first time I had something to lose." never sounded so sad asf

Those back up singers are really trying to send me to heaven

I want her to do a rendition of all you had to do was stay like this.

The Live Lounge sound system / acoustics never fail to amaze.

She’s a goddess! I mean, this performance doesn’t have multiple dancers, lights, or pizzazz, it’s just her playing the piano and singing beautifully. Even the backing vocals went perfectly, and when she started singing with them, I got goosebumps. Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s the music industry.

How did RED not win a grammy !?!? Because this was one of her BEST masterpieces

Imagine Cornelia street in this piano my goodness together with dancing with our hands tied, pop songs that deserve to be played in accoustic!!!!!!!!!

the way she says ‘for the first time i had something to lose’ oh my god

who’s here after she sang this Tokyo night one

taylor swift is the only artist that makes me feel like im so blessed to be born during the same time as them

I want THIS version when she re-records her music. WOW :D

This song is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. All of Red as a matter of fact.

Holy Ground stan here and this is one of the best songs in Red even in the studio album. This performance just made it to the top of my faves in Red

A big middle finger in the air to anyone saying she can’t sing. I would buy this version 10 times

I’ve watched all 6 performances and all 6 are flawless. Her vocal control is really good. She hit all the notes, she approached the melody differently depends on the lyrics, and most importantly she put emotion into it. Yeah she may not be a powerhouse vocalist, but she’s a damn good singer. Her range is getting wider as well, try to sing all 6 songs she just performed, the low notes are low and the highs are actually quite high. And she keeps improving. She’s really really great. And I just love her tone, so soothing and beautiful.

Such an overwhelming performance. She never disappoints.

Lyrics : [Verse 1] I was reminiscing just the other day While having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme Took off faster than a green light, go Hey, you skip the conversation when you already know I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made And that was the first day [Chorus] And darling, it was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground [Verse 2] Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress We had this big wide city all to ourselves We blocked the noise with the sound of, "I need you" And for the first time, I had something to lose And I guess we fell apart in the usual way And the story's got dust on every page But sometimes, I wonder how you think about it now And I see your face in every crowd [Chorus] 'Cause darling, it was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground [Bridge] Tonight, I'm gonna dance For all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you Tonight, I'm gonna dance Like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you [Chorus] It was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground [Outro] Tonight, I'm gonna dance For all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you Tonight, I'm gonna dance Like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you

Excuse me? I did not sign up to cry but I just love crying so thank you for reviving my Red feelings. Where my RED Stans at?

10 Facts you probably didn’t know about Taylor Swift’s Holy Ground. 1. The song was written by Taylor, while the production was handled by Jeff Bhasker. 2. This lyrics begun in February 2012. 3.

I want this version of "Holy Ground". it is so heartbreaking and nostalgic.

I've never appreciated Holy Ground this much until now.

"Away ,away,away" These angellic vocals took me to heaven.

Watching this again for the billionth time and i gotta say that this version NEEDS to be in Red TV

The way she looks into the camera is amazing. It’s mesmerizing like she’s sitting right in front of you, and signing right to you

Aahh this version of Holy Ground is right up there with All Too Well acoustic version and Out of the Woods Grammy Museum performance.

When your own words fail, Taylor speaks.

Literally in awe of everything she does! The writing, the different layers, moods and tones of the songs leave a different feeling everytime you hear them. You get an extra different experience everytime you go back to listen to get as you grow up.

Holy Ground finally gets the attention it deserves!

Her “oh ay ohh oh” at 2:13 was so beautiful oh my gosh

underrated masterpiece

BBC Radio gave me the taylor swift's best ever live sessions. this and Phil Collins cover. Made for the generations to come. People would remember this lady for making art like these.

If Taylor did nothing OTHER than acoustic songs -- I would be HERE for ittttttt!

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON THE ALBUM PLEASE DO IT FOR ALL SONGS THEY SOUND SO GOOD I GOT CHILLS

This version takes my soul to another dimension, i just can't explain

this feels like a warm hug in fall

Recall me of the Red Era - One of her best eras

Red is the album that got me hooked on to TS. The songs still linger. Deserved a Grammy for sure. This version is testament to that.

Record this version for the re-recording pleaaaase. It has state of grace acoustic version energy and that song is MAGICAL and this one is too 😭

"Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through"

Taylor NEEDS to do an all-acoustic of all of her previous songs!

Taylor's background singers standing there like: "that's our girl!" edit: wow I got 600 likes hahaha

Lovely, soulful and vulnerable. Awesome performance.

Come back here after listening to FOLKLORE and this live sounds so great and better like she was preparing us to Folklore. Love you Taylor.
