Aaron: sings
Me: no Aaron, the lyrics is: *Green was the color of the grass...*

[synecdokay]

do y’all ever just feel incredibly blessed when you get to hear an unfinished song or piece, like how experiencing this adds something to the final product, makes me love it all impossibly more somehow

[mileymbclimb]

When people ask for their dream taylor collab I just say Aaron dressner was the collab we never knew we needed. 👌🏼

[AnthonyAlexanderonYT]

sounds good, but Taylor really adds something with the melody. It fits more with the instrumental he played

[thereadingsylph]

This man is responsible for a lot of tears and happiness in my life because of his songs with taylor swift...

[aidentan]

Invisible string really suit this melody a lot there's a very happy and hopeful feeling every time I listen to this song it's so hard to explain how perfect the lyrics and this melody fit so well together

[mrslundy]

aaron gives the vibe of a serious cishet businessman musician but he's so cute inside when he specially starts to talk

[bradb]

Instrumentally, folklore is just a beautiful national album.
Not taking away from Taylor -- obviously she's the biggest part of the album. And this song didn't quite cut it without her lyrics, and invisible string is so good.

[Bandito.Swiftie]

This is absolutely mind-blowing. Obsessed! Also so neat to hear the comparison to 'invisible string'. Love it so much

[Yogeshchitgopekar]

Loved this. I have become big fan of Aaron. Excellent COmposition.

[bora.]

Wow taylor changed it to a whole new song 🧡

[tarokeefe]

Two of the three taylor swift songs i like are from you, have to admit she presents it perfectly

[tylertyler]

pretty funny that this turned into a love song considering the original lyrics haha

[TGMusique]

Wow, when did this IG live happened, after or before folklore's surprise drop?

Taylor's take on this brought Aaron's guitar backing to another magical level! Like it brought the ethereal-folk aspect a notch

[k_wallflower]

Does anyone know what guitar is this? it sounds really good omg

[ghandirubberneck]

Damon Albarn listen to this then listen to Invisible String, then apologise to Ms Swift for doubting her genius.

[MagicPants]

what kind of guitar is this? never heard anything like it. does it have some sort of mute on it to slightly mute the strings? really cool

[slothua]

Beautiful! Nice melody! Your voice comes out very low. Well done.

[NintendoChannel]

Was this before folklore was released?
