Taylor Swift - The Story Of Us 

"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.

*THIS SONG IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED*

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.

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

Speak Now is one of her best albums. PERIODT

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💜

2024 anyone?

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

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.

CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE NEW VERSION OF THIS UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE

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

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

Who's having a 2021 Taylor Swift Marathon right now

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.

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

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

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 ❤

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

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

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. 💜💜💜

I do not understand how swifties underrated THIS MASTERPIECE

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

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

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

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!!😍🎶

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

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

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

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

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

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

the "next chapter" is so cute

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

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

She's a lyrical genius

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

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

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

Here in 2024? 👇🏻

will forever and always love this song it is TIMELESS

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

What a phenomenal writer! Those lyrics are literally poetic!

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

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

This is highly underrated

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

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

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

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

she's the tortured poet department

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

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

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

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

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

Her old hair is goals

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.

Who's counting down Speak Now(Taylor's Version) by listening to her old songs??

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

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

"I 've never heard silence quite this loud"

I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS IVE BEEN LISTENING IT LIKE 20 TIMES EVERYDAYY

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

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

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

i love how she says “twist of fate”

Anybody that likes Taylor Swift is my bestie automatically

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

THIS VIDEO SCREAMS "2011" I love itttt

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

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.

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

"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]?"

the taylor's version of this will make me go feral

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

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

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

Really enjoyed this playlist! Thanks for taking the time.

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

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 one her most underrated songs it deserves so much more love

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

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

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

BEFORE SPEAK NOW TV COMES OUT LATER, LET ME FEEL AND EXPERIENCE THE NOSTALGIA OF SPEAK NOW :)) I AM HAPPY THAT MS. SWIFT WILL OWN THIS MASTERPIECE AGAIN

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 ❤️❤️

OMG SHE IS SOO PRETTY IN THIS

I miss this Taylor Swift. I miss the country.

finally taylor's version is comingggg

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

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.
