  • Who’s here after that horrible performance at the 2024 home run derby!!!
  • @saturn7404
    Her version of the national anthem sounds like when war is over and everything's finally in peace.
  • @Bianca-kl4tr
    Hearing Taylor sing is a cure after listening to Ingrid Andress.
  • @Haru-eq7zi
    come on, taylor isn't the kind of singer that is like Demi or Beyonce or whatever ya know. she is special in her own ways. stop the damn hate Update : yall I commented this 8 years ago when I was 14 and dumb. I don’t even listen to her anymore stop replying to my comment 😭
  • During this game, Taylor was 18 years old and had already made 2 country albums (writing all the songs). Thirteen years later and she has sold over 200 million records globally. She has done all of the above with an independent streak. It is no surprise she sang the National Anthem as she did, as she chose, and she will do again.
  • I thought this was a really sweet version of this song. Almost like a lullaby. I love Taylor. She’s talented, no matter what you may say. Her songs are fun, and she writes them all, herself. This was far better than the loud, obnoxious screeching we usually hear; from people over doing it, and trying too hard. This was believable and honest.
  • @sheldonwalton
    She did an excellently respectful job. Nothing to show off, just respect.
  • This is the sweetest and calmest rendition. I can picture this moment when we finally got over with Covid-19.
  • @user-lj2og9tu5p
    what's with the negative comments? every artist has their own style of singing. demi's version is high pitched as well as beyonce's and ariana's. taylor isnt a high note- kind at that time but she made an awesome rendition of the anthem. its angelic.
  • @Shivamkukreti7
    I'm Indian and that's the sweetest National anthem I’ve ever heard by any artists ❤️❤️
  • @insane1198
    Haha Everyone complaining about the hate comments but there are none lol
  • @Devika-wk9hu
    Everyone doesn't have to judge her. She has a different style of music. Anyways it doesn't matter anymore because the old Taylor is dead.
  • @Unknown-jf5sk
    the only one who can sing the national anthem with a guitar , she's unique
  • why r so many of these comments hate. I think she did absolutely incredible
  • @ryanbuhia3578
    why are people comparing Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato I'm a Swiftie but come on guys they are different from each other Taylor has her own way of singing which Demi don't and Demi has her own way which Taylor haven't PERIOD
  • @sbulla27
