Taylor Swift Lyrics

Never compare this version and Taylor's Version because both of them did a good job. Both artists give life to this song.

@youredisgusting7520

Totally agree

@rhpaqo9711

Nah. this version is better.

@Mia444

Comparison is human nature. This version is better because JN is a better singer and actress than Taylor.

@Roseshavethorns

I feel like I like the vibe of Taylor’s a bit better, the disappointed way talks to this guy. Her version has the classic, Taylor swift break up song essence. But this one is obviously better vocally and emotionwise

@anayadegani626

I love how the songs have captured both perspectives. This is the perspective of the wife whos given her entire life to him while Taylor's version captures her view of how he probably does not love his wife and really thinks he loves her and they arent going to be cheating. Then she realises that its not true.

@kaydence1313

The original song isn't about a husband and wife, it's about Jake cheating on Taylor, but when she gave it to Sugarland they made it into their own which is cool that they made it their own

@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana

It is both from the wife's and the affair partner's POV.

The affair partner is mad because no one else was supposed to know about the affair.

@cruelruel6623

Oh boy, this music video is folklore itself.

@sausanrajulisman4501

may I know how can Taylor record it and made it into Red album T's version? No hate I love both singers but didn't she already gave this song to Sugarland even though she's the one that wrote the song? I'm curious like is it legally in the system okay? sorry if I sounded negative and sorry for my poor english :(

@kensalinas1550

@@sausanrajulisman4501 i don’t know too. maybe it is legal, since it was from the vault way before it was stolen from her, the person who sold out her song has the right of this version. That’s why she rerecord it.

@usamakhan3553

@@sausanrajulisman4501 There are two types of rights you can have over a song. Song writer credit amd owning the master of recording.
Of you have song writer rights you can re-record it if you want, but if it sounds exactly the same you have to give royalties to the person who owns the masters. Which is probably why Taylor's Version sounds different.

@therealmissbubbly

I like both versions of this song, but I think I'm always going to prefer this one more. The vocals here are angrier and more powerful and match the tone of the song better, and it sounds more complete with the harmonies on the chorus, and that last chorus with everyone singing on top of each other! It just sounds SOOOO good!!!! No hate on Taylor's version though.

@lothair10

I agree, Sugarland's version was angry like it just happened while Taylor's version was more of like reminiscing the past.

@Паша_Вамкон

I agree with u guys

@bryancasano1604

Sugarland's version sounds like anger because they're portraying the legal wife. Whilst on Taylor's version, she's portraying the mistress - that's why she sounded disappointed. Plus the, "what about your promises, promises?" part

@shashind.9591

I saw a lot of comments on taylor's video saying that is better, but I strongly disagree. This is so much more raw and the harmonies are just perfect

@jericsuson5250

This version sounds very angry
And Taylor's version sounds hurt

@augustboi

Damn, this song throws so much reference to folklore:
Sugarland is Betty. See 0:34 "High heels on cobble stones.."
Taylor is the August girl. See 3:45 "August slipped away.." the letters dated to August.

And this song also resonates with 'madwoman' from Sugarland's pov and 'illcit affairs' from Taylor's pov.

@dalrympleannbulatao2125

maybe the illicit affairs is from august perspective? but my half saying its a no.

@adityakankal

Where is the cardigan ....

@felicitysmoak3757

But instead of James, the guy is William

@mjjacob3214

High heels on cobbles stones is a reference to one of the characters in babe traveing with the other to Paris. August and the 1 as Mirrorball.

Folklore: love triangle from Red is one track 2, 8, 14 - all 6 apart - and 6 is mirrorball and she's still in love with 'the 1' and she's still hoping that 'the 1' sees her and she still wants to show 'the 1' that they are meant for each other

@snehanadar8

This song is from the Red era so I don't think this can be considered as Easter eggs for folklore

@walaamuneer12

This is the storyline as I understand it: Simply, he’s a married man that has a side chick who meets up with her every once in a while (you can tell from the way they were looking at each other in the front of the elevator & the way people looked at the sidechick (Taylor) when she got up to see him) Taylor, knows that he is married (from the way she looked at his wife when she left the room) but she still in a relationship with him anyway. On the other side, there’s a typical married house-wife, cooks dinner, buys groceries and brings a little cake to her husband office. She caught them (we didn’t know how many times she has, because she looked at the women in unsure way, but she knew it) The husband felt weird, and left his wife alone and go out with his sidechick, and spend the night with her, and also break up with her and the end (Taylor was crumbling up a piece of paper in the last scenes of her, it means that this man let her have some romantic feelings towards him) and the wife, while she is spending the night alone, reading his old love letters and looking at their pictures, realizing that she have to leave now, and left him alone.
The ending symbolizes every man who cheats: being terribly alone at the end.

After listening to the T.V. Of this song I feel like this “original” version (is it technically the original?), with the music video, beautifully encapsulates both sides of this story.

Also the video has a letter dating to 1965, 31 years before that, Bonnie and Clyde died, reverse 31 and you get 13. Also the ending of the video, Jennifer, the innocent wife ok whereas Taylor, the other woman is left completely broken, “Us traitors never win”. With all of this, I have a suspicion that Getaway Car will be the next MV from reputation.

Who's revisiting this version after hearing Taylor's Version?

@michaelcaling

Me. I was waiting for her version but I was kinda disappointed. :/ I prefer this version as it has more emotions and stronger vibe.

@mcnoneya

@@michaelcaling I do too. Idk why I prefer this one. But I do. I’m not really a country music fan( I didn’t truly discover Taylor until “I knew you were trouble” then 1989 album

@rachelblackstock4749

i mean, we have the right to come for taylor lol, she wrote the song. it was originally supposed to go on her RED album back in 2012, (i personally believe it was supposed to be a part 2 to her song “the last time” just because the lyrics correlate each other) but she ended up not using it. she called SL up like 6 years later once she heard about their idea concept for Bigger and they loved it so she only featured on it. so it’s technically her song, so yeah, her fans have a right to come for taylor, but they’ve literally done nothing but rave about SL and how they slayed this song. honestly, i think taylor made the best choice for it to go to them if she didn’t release it for herself. same with the song “better man” by little big town, she wrote that song some time in 2015 during her relationship and breakup with calvin harris, but it didn’t fit into her album conception for her album “reputation” so instead of scraping it, she called up little big town. taylor’s actually wrote a lot of songs and given them to other artists instead of scraping them and she chose the right people to give them to in my opinion
