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

"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.

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

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.

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.

2024 anyone?

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.

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

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💜

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. Now I have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Chess Piece” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕

Speak Now is one of her best albums. PERIODT

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

CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE NEW VERSION OF THIS UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Here in 2024? 👇🏻

2023 and still listening to this masterpiece

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

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

who came up here after the intro and outro of fortnight?

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

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

It’s 2023 this song is not getting old I never get tired to play even for how many years or decade will passed such a great masterpiece ❤

11 years gone, but this still hits home

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

Who's having a 2021 Taylor Swift Marathon right now

It's 2023 who's watching this masterpiece right now

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. 💜💜💜

*THIS SONG IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED*

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

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

For me personally, everything peaked in this song/video. Favorite era, favorite album, favorite video style and last but not least Taylor just looks amazing.

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

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

the "next chapter" is so cute

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

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

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.

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

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

She's a lyrical genius

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

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!!😍🎶

"but you held your pride like you should have held me"

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

Anybody that likes Taylor Swift is my bestie automatically

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

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

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

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

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

Here after that monstrosity of a re-recording loved the mature vocals on the rest of the album but not this one this one will always be my baby

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

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

My favorite line ever written in a song. "I've never heard silence quite this loud!"

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

This is highly underrated

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 do not understand how swifties underrated THIS MASTERPIECE

this is the student who became the chairman of the tortured poets department back in her college days btw if you even care

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

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

2024 feels "the story of us "

ugh i wish TV captured the essence of what made this song great, and thats the instrumentation of this song.

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

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

"Wow, this song takes me back to a time when everything was so complicated, just like in the 'story of us.' Taylor's ability to capture those emotions in her music is simply incredible. This song is a masterpiece, and I can't get enough of it. Who else is still listening in [current year]?"

September 07, 2023 watching! You with me? One of her best songs. She looked so freaking beautiful here

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

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

Who's still listening to this underrated masterpiece in 2023? Don't worry youre not the only one waiting for speak now TV

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

Her old hair is goals

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

2023 and who's still here guys?

Anyone here 2024?

"I 've never heard silence quite this loud"

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

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Chess Piece” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️😊

she's the tortured poet department

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

What a phenomenal writer! Those lyrics are literally poetic!

THIS VIDEO SCREAMS "2011" I love itttt

12 years later, If you're still watching this you're a legend.

Dear stranger whoever is reading this: may your mother live over 100 years more

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

That guys face when he walked by the couple kissing-

Anyone else having a Taylor Marathon?!

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

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.

THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!❤

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

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