Anyone who sings someone’s written music and lyrics would understand, that it should not end once one version has been released. Carol King also sang her song live before. I am impressed when a writer gives permission for their song to be performed. Dolly Parton gave Whitney Houston her permission. She could not give Col Parker any song-writing credit for “I Will Always Love You”, and he did not allow it. She would have so enjoyed hearing it, as would we all. Oh well. Just another reason for Elvis to be so unhappy with his longtime manager. Pricilla said he did sing it to her before they divorced. I think, now, with Dolly still alive, (to give permission) it would have been our pleasure to hear the song in the recent movie, “Pricilla”. Still, even the Beatles have permitted their original songs to be performed by others, and it is kind.

Just a reccomendation from someone whose been a fan of her for her entire career (despite not really listening to country since childhood): If you like this, the vibe from this is very "Midnights," if that's what you like. If you're interested in seeing the very best of her work as a songwriter, I highly suggest "Evermore" and "Folklore." "Epiphany" is the song that I hope, 100 years from now, she's remembered for. It's absolutely incredible, but *very* hard to listen to on a regular basis because it's about healthcare workers & the pandemic, and it is brutal. But *insanely* good.

@@wilcox728 Funny that you say this because I don't think her voice sounds like anyone else's voice in the business, so I could definitely pick her out of a line-up of people who think that the more complicated runs they do, the more loved they will be. I like songs that I can sing along with and not have to stop because, uh-oh, this or that artist is doing some run that goes on for two minutes or hitting a high note that could crack glass. Taylor isn't just the sum of her voice though, but writes and produces her own songs as well which is something that most of the artists out there don't even do. She writes thought-provoking songs that are art because she paints with words on the tapestry of her life and puts us all right there in the moment with her, while also writing songs that are totally relatable in our own lives, which is another reason that she is so beloved and has so many fans. But you would know this if you spent as much time doing the research on her artistry as you do leaving negative comments about her. Did someone blonde and tall hurt you? Here's a hug... 🤗

It’s interesting how a lot of folks expose their jealousy or insecurity or pettiness by denigrating someone who is obviously so much more successful and/or talented than they are. Even if you don’t agree with Taylor Swift’s politics (I don’t) or feel she has too much money (she earned every dollar), or is too pretty (well, she just is) she has worked very hard to make it look so easy. If you believe anyone could do it, there are lots of empty stadiums in the world just waiting for YOU to come and sell them out night after night. Go for it! Talor Swift is only the latest example of this envy, but before her there have been many. Michael Jackson, Prince, the Beatles, Elvis, and others too numerous to name have put up with this pettiness; it goes way back. “Mozart is OK I guess, but he’s no Beethoven”. She makes music that most people enjoy (maybe not you, but most). She doesn’t hurt a single soul but helps many. Her time will eventually pass and the next phenom will arise. While she is working to entertain you, just enjoy the show. Stop making yourself look so petty.

They didn't write the song. Carole King did. They lack talent bc they can't write songs.

I think she does a good job with the song. I first heard the Shirelles version back in the day. Then, of course, Carol King's recording of her own song. It's a classic and I never tire of it. Carol King is a phenomenal song writer and performer. A generational giant capturing melody, emotion, spirit and love in all her music.

Good to see younger ones appreciate this song. I fell in love with it in the late 1950’s when my Dad bought me an lp with it.

I guess I should have said 1960. Oops. Long time ago. 😬

This is the first time I have ever heard you sing and believe me when I tell you it was a pure pleasure.

I'd love to have it on my Spotify 😍 😍😍

Oh, this was a very good rendition, Taylor certainly made it her own! I love the sad, melancholic tone of the original song with Carole King voice matching it perfectly. This cover however perfectly matches Taylor's style and voice, it's almost as if it's one of hers!

@@betyerpwet It was released in 1960. An awful long time ago. But in MVHO, those four voices, so melodic. That you actually “feel” it. Give it a listen.

This is absolutely fantastic! WoW!!

Tonight, you're mine completely You give your love so sweetly Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow? … Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure? Can I believe the magic of your sighs? Will you still love me tomorrow? … Tonight with words unspoken You say that I'm the only one But will my heart be broken When the night (when the night) Meets the mor- (meets the morning sun) … I'd like to know that your love Is love I can be sure of So tell me now, and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow? … So tell me now, and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow?

I have a Cher. exercise. video and she is. wearing an. outfit just like this. They both. look. and. sing beautifully. LOOOOVE Carole King forever!!!

Great song and fantastic singer !

Never was a TS fan but this was so good. Love CK and Swift did her proud. Brava!

It’s a TRIBUTE to the song writer. The entire event is to honor Carol Kings legacy of songs and why she’s being inducted into the R n R Hall of Fame. Any other comments seem to lake a clear understanding of the context here.

Absolutely one of my favorite Carol King songs from her Tapestry album. Many memories.❤

I've got to give Taylor Swift props for working harder than any other artist. She has to work so hard to control her pitch in songs like this. When she first started performing she never could have pulled off this song, but her she is doing a great job and integrating a creative arrangement to bolster her performance. She is one artist that never rests. She keeps striving to be better and better. I admire that about her and I am glad she is rewarded with such a huge fan base and such commercial success.

I have the tapestry album still... And play it♥️

Carol had a hand in so many great songs. Taylor Swift is a fitting choice for this tribute.

At 77 I'm slowly becoming a fan.

Sensual love song presented by the most beautiful singer ...

Taylor really nails this Carole King Classic. One of the best covers of this song that I've ever heard.

I have been around long enough to have heard Carol's and the Shirelle's version of this song when they were first released. Over the years since then I have heard many covers of the song, To my ears, Taylor's version is one of the best. To each his own.

nah, one of the worsts ever period. Her voice is not bad but you can hear her gasp and take in deep breaths at times that just ruin it for me,.,.As if she is struggling to sing it and other artists can just breeze thru it naturally

Great song, loving "Taylor's version"!

Taylor... outstanding performance ! KC fan !

Great job Taylor , I love you . The Bee Gees did a fantastic job with this song

Can we just stop with the hate in this country …….. lmo this was beautiful and a tremendous tribute to one of the people she most admired in her career.. ❤

I love the way Taylor does this.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

I'm an older adult... I really like Taylor ....very popular every where, especially the KC area ! Amazing, writing a lot of her own songs and lyrics ! In school !

TS nailed this song. Some folks make too much about who writes a song or who did it first. Those facts can be interesting. Some people write songs Some arrange and some sing. Some of the greatest singers never wrote a note, that doesn't diminish the talent.

This is a great version, very different from the original! My favorite is still Minnie Driver, from the movie Beautiful.

Swift is so gorgeous that one sometimes forgets that she has a great voice.

She is a good singer but she’s no Christina Aguilera. I have a lot of respect for her standing her ground about ownership of her music, and she puts on a heck of concert.
