Nothing New (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) (Lyric Video)

“how long will it be cute, all this crying in my room when you can’t blame it on my youth and roll your eyes with affection” is brutal when you’re growing older while your depression grows with it.

"how can a person know everything at 18, but nothing at 22?" damn, this hit hard

"How long will it be cute... All this crying in my room Whеn you can't blame it on my youth And roll your eyes with affеction?" This really hits at 24, crying about the same things i cried about when i was 18, damn, when will it get better?

This song literally perfectly encapsulates how sometimes we feel like some shiny new toy for others but once people grow accustomed to us, the shininess wears off and they’re in search of someone more exciting, more better, it just perfectly explains this insecurity.

As much as it sucked for Taylor to lose her masters just like that, these re-recordings might be the best thing that happened to us. Reliving eras, getting new music, new details, even buying merch some of us didn’t have the chance to get before. Everytime she re-releases, I feel revived. I watch it begin again.

"How can a person know everything at 18 and nothing at 22?" so weird to now be old enough to experience everything she sings about in this album. It's even better now.

As someone who constantly fears aging despite still being a teen, Taylor helped form the words I didn't know how to say.

we need to talk more about "How long will it be cute all this crying in my room when you can't blame it on my youth and roll your eyes with affection?" it's so scarily accurate. i've been extremely oversensitive since birth and i cry at the tiniest of things and my parents always been there for me but now i'm almost 20 and i still cry over everything but now i see my parents being genuinely frustrated at me....i don't get that consolation anymore instead i'm told to stop being a weakling if i want to survive on my own and they are very correct. but the thing is....I'm not like this because i want to....

"How did I go from growing up to breaking down?" HITS ME LIKE A BULLET

Nothing new: “And will you still want me, when I’m nothing new” Call it what you want: “My baby's fly like a jet stream. High above the whole scene. Loves me like I'm brand new”

"How could a person know everything at eighteen, but nothing at twenty-two." This part hits extra hard, I wish I was my ambitious, motivated, and dream oriented eighteen self.

Taylor at 22: “Will you still want me? When I’m nothing new?” Taylor at 27: “My baby’s built like a daydream loves me like I’m brand new.” I’m so happy she found such a pure love, so sweet.💕 Update: This aged terribly…

Didn't know Mirrorball has a big sister who's been hiding in the Vault all this time. Both are true masterpieces from our Taylor and both have brought me to tears. Plus Phoebe's voice is just unbelievable. We're way too blessed with this collab now

When Pheobe said she almost cried recording her part SHE DIDN'T LIE ABOUT IT I mean hello? I'm sobbing!!!!!

I was 18 before going to college. I'm full of dreams and hope. It's like I really know what's ahead of me. Now that I'm 22 and already working, I'm llueless about my life. I'm feeling hopeless, anxious and sad. The part, "How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22" literally describes my life and this song defines my emotions right now.

Taylor will never become irrelevant. Even in 20 years people will still consider her an icon, I'm sure of it. In fact, I swear on my favorite puppet pattern that if nobody has written a musical about Taylor in 20 years, I will write one myself.

going to need 10-12 business days to process the beauty of this song

I'm glad she released this now. I don't think it would have meant as much to me at 19 as it does now at 29. I feel like I am at an age where I really understand this feeling. Because our culture so often says that women (particularly female entertainers) have a shelf life! That somehow you're useless after 25 and that there will always be some, newer, younger girl to replace you. Even outside the entertainment industry, my friends and I feel those same pressures. Our society basically says that life is over by 30, which is INSANE, and simply not true!!! I really believe that as long as we are alive, we have the opportunity to continue growing-up and learning, but I completely understand this feeling of insecurity in the uncertainty of getting older.

The fact that she wrote this all the way back in 2012 is so Brutal.

Phoebe Bridgers breaking the curse of singing backing vocals and actually singing lyrics?!?!
