“hold on to the memories they will hold on to you” is one of my favorite lyrics she’s ever written. it helps me so much because i’m such a clingy and nostalgic person with everything and everyone and i always need that reminder

[alexasanchez]

"Please, don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere" has become my favorite lyric

[westmezzanine]

So I’ve gradually become a bigger fan of Taylor. Still haven’t listened to all of her albums. On the 29th, the other day, I knocked out Reputation. Well, almost. I saw the last song was called New Year’s Day. I said to myself, “I’m going to wait and play this song on midnight of New Year’s Day for the first time”. I’d never heard it before anywhere else. Right at midnight tonight, I clicked play on this song for the first time, about 25 minutes ago now. I loved it. For some reason I didn’t expect it, but a couple minutes later a fireworks show broke out. I started to get annoyed, then peeked out of my blind and saw that they were over my backyard. For about 10 minutes, they ended about 10 minutes ago, I just stopped, watched the fireworks, and repeated this song on YouTube. It felt so right. So simple. Just fireworks. In the sky. Just music, in my ears. So easy, so therapeutic. After such an awful year, for me, and I know for so many, the new year just starts with a great song and fireworks in my back yard. I feel for the people it woke up, because I’m sure it did, but it felt incredible. It feels like a memory that will conjure up randomly like 40 years from now. Of the teenage me resting his chin in his hands, like Taylor’s position there, listening to Taylor Swift’s new song and watching the fireworks. Everything felt okay. I sure as hell hope this is an omen for the rest of the year haha

Edit: Visiting this comment a year later because why not. Nothing will quite ever reach what I felt last year, but my midnight tradition was still the same; listening to New Year’s Day, that I now know by heart, and watching fireworks out my back window, relaxing. I’m in a lot better place now than I was when I wrote this comment, and I partially credit Taylor, and even slightly this song specifically, with that. Wish everyone a fantastic 2022!

This is my mom's favorite Taylor Swift song. This song is so personal to me to the point that I even dodge this on purpose whenever I listen to reputation. I remember my mom saying, "I can finally forgive her now for Shake It Off", when she first heard this.

That was in 2017.

Then she died in 2018.

There is a particular lyric from this song that made it so personal to me. "You squeezed my hand three times in the back of the taxi. I can tell that it's gonna be a long road. I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe. Or if you strike out and you're crawling home."

We weren't in a taxi. But she squeezed my hand multiple times in emergency room. I knew it's going to be a long battle because the pain of losing a mother hits different. I was there for her til her last moment, but I came home alone... figuratively crawling.

Since October 2018, unless it's New Year's Eve, I tend to try my best to ignore this song. But not today. Not on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. It may be painful because this song reminds me my mom. But that will never stop me from celebrating this song because my mom is attached to it.

Odd thing though, my mom never turned into a stranger whose laugh I could recognise anywhere. I tried to pay attention to everyone's laughter. My mom's laugh is so unique.

Thank you, Taylor Swift. I feel so cold inside and I know that I will never be the same. But I still have hope that things are going to be okay. I will always hold on to the memories.

Happy New Year, you.

[Swiftie]

Now he’s a stranger who’s laugh she could recognize anywhere 😢😢😢

[asha-not]

i randomly thought about this song so i came back to listen

still *P E R F E C T*

[webcomiclulu]

One of the most heartfelt beautiful songs ever

[giuliapaglialunga]

this song has the most relatable lyric when you really love someone, the fear of losing them because you have lost so many people and you're not ready to lose another one, taylor here is really beggining the person that she loves with whole herself: "please don't ever become a stranger, whose laugh i could recognize anywhere".
this woman is such a good singer and this song is so pure and fantastic-written.
the fact that for most of the people who had lose someone in same time she publicezed this song is so sad and full of overthinking, sometimes she makes me say: i am so grateful for my life.
man, hope i'll never stop listening to her

[cheesesticks]

It's become a tradition of me to listen to this song on New Year's day and I tear up a bit while listening to this song on New Year's day it just hits different.

This is my first new years without my father. He always let me play Taylor Swift's songs for him. He was a musician. Music is in our blood and bond. I miss you so much daddy😢

[eruditewitcheverdeen]

This song feels like the warm glow of a candle in a silent, dim room and you're sitting with your favorite person with blankets around both of your shoulders, and the two of you are relishing the calm after the party.

"you know the greatest loves of all times are over now"

[tryguysmemevideos]

i came back her after sour came out. it’s an inspiration to “1 step forward, 3 steps back” 🥺🥺🥺

[littlecarebear]

She knew she would write Evermore’ cause she said for Evermore

[impish_snake]

One of her most beautiful songs. So simple, but sweet.

[alexanderwee]

This is so amazing like a soft gentle goodbye song after the intense electrifying songs in this album

[fitrianurazizah]

What hurts the most? He's finally became a stranger.

[misstryinghardsunshine]

I dedicate this song to my best friends who never left even when the party's already over, stayed with me to clean up the bottles and all the mess left. I love you guys so much!!! 💝🥺

[avazena]

This song hits so different on New Year’s Day ❤️ wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2022 🎉

[kennethostrer]

I think besides Back To December, no other Tay song hits me harder. Honest to God work of art
