Taylor Swift - Meant To Live with Jon Foreman (Switchfoot)

[ineedlemonade]

taylor swift is so out of place in this lol

[SohmaSama]

This is awesome! Switchfoot is my most favorite band and it's cool to know Taylor is a fellow fan :)

[westportproductions]

you guys are so ignorant. first of all, theyre one of her favorites. she obviously knows the lyrics. the off tune singer is from the audience. and taylor is just as talented as him, and twice as famous. they are both great, but give her credit! this gave jon publicity if anything else! it wasnt him that sold out countless arenas and stadiums in 7 months. she obviously has respect for him, so have some respect for her, ignorant foreman fans!

[thewolflord94]

Contrary to singing "out of tune," she's singing a harmony with Jon. I bet Jon was psyched to do this.  He's probably one of the most chill musicians out there.

[Squier4God]

Is Taylor a Christian?

[bizybee1994]

Only clicked like bcuz Jon foreman is singin. Still hate Taylor swift

[kcarterp1992]

I like how Taylor Swift makes Jon Foreman sound so much better by singing out of tune the entire time and and then screwing up the lyrics...It's okay. They're in two separate leagues of musicianship anyway.

[mychemxhelena]

A syllable is what people are really freaking out about? -.-

She went to say 'why' and then quickly smashed 'mice' into it and got 'whice'

That's it. It's not like she sang the complete wrong line. My god.

I'm a Switchfoot fan and Tswift fan, there's nothing wrong with that, and I don't know why people think it is /: She has an amazing music taste.

[jonnysan0002]

I'm just going to attribute that little lyrical slip up to Miss Swift being absolutely thunderstruck by Foreman's presence.

[kanpiglet]

@jonnysan0002 What lyrical slip up?

[partizan1616]

I'm watching this because of Jon Foreman!

[tristynjbw]

Taylor swift never belonged in rock and roll, especially to come and butcher his song. It was nice of him to pop in though.

[thegreenebean98]

Really was a great rock and roll moment. They need to record this song together.

[kcarterp1992]

@thegreenebean98 No, cause then they'd have to auto-tune Taylor Swift's voice the entire time and it'd sound like a robot singing with Jon Foreman.

[Paramore188]

"Dreaming about providences and wondering wh-ice and men get second tries..." Smooth one, Taylor. :)

[3AMofficial]

Well, Jon Foreman is awesome as usual :) He's been an influence to my music ever since. Mind checking out my channel? Just click it and listen to the first few seconds of the song I wrote. Would mean a lot to me :)

[MoniklovsSF]

YOU GUYS.... I LOVE THE FACT THAT ALMOST ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WATCHED THIS VIDEO IS A SWITCHFOOT FAN!!!!

[kcarterp1992]

@MoniklovsSF Me too, me too. Notice how Taylor Swift sings out of tune, but Jon Foreman owns the show? He pretty much walked in and took the stage floor right out from under her :)

[MoniklovsSF]

@likethunder09 i know!!!!... its cool that she likes switchfoot but at least learn the lyrics!!!

[likethunder09]

taylor swift just murdered one of my favorite songs...

[derfanddarf1]

You can kind of see Jon Foreman go like 'Wait...those aren't the lyrics'

[derfanddarf1]

That's his Vice Verses Guitar!!!



[eiredance92]

Jon is amazing!

[TheSecretnessify]

Jon Foreman is my hero.

=D

[dabigblob0]

how was she singing the wrong lyrics?

[bunnyman330]

I love this! Watch Taylor hug a man in a bunny costume on my channel, it's hilarious!

[radngnarlysk8]

JON FOREMAN!

[Mascara27197]

1m33s say WHAT?

[qgriffiths]

it sounded like gibberish .... oh taylor.

[ComfortablyPlump13]

I never thought I'd live to see the day that Switchfoot (my fav band) collaborated with Taylor Swift (my favorite singer).

[1JesusFreakz]

I like how Jon hasa the better voice haha

[kcarterp1992]

@1JesusFreakz Because Jon is the real musician...

[Saminatorger]

Ah, he's got his Vice Verses guitar :)

[PrettyTiaF]

Jon Foreman is sexy B>

[sql47]

she must have memorized thousands of songs.

she must like it pretty bad.

[thisisourhousex]

Well tell me you've never messed up a lyric singing it live before... and I'm not thoroughly convinced she got it wrong. She has this little accent thing some times while she sings.

*shrugs* either way, as Taylor Swift being my favorite singer and Switchfoot being my favorite band, I loved it. ♥

[korgathina]

She knows the words, the quality isn't her fault its device used to record the video, when she sings with guests she only sings specifically planned lines. Bottom line is she is a fantastic performer and one of the most loved singers of her generation, haters are just going to hate whether they are right or not.

[LizzieDizzy]

Well this just proves how much I'm right about her musicianship. Which is none.

[Darcy4562]

SWITCHFOOT! <3

[KUiscaliente]

proving her non-countryness once again.

[mooooooooooooonlight]

Swiftfoot... Amazing!

[welovethebeach9]

I'm hoping and praying that she'll have a guest for my concert(I'm going on November 17th)! But even if she doesn't have a guest, it'll still be absolutely awesome!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D ♥ Luv u Taylor ♥

[HigensK]

Her moves might be awkward looking because she is really tall, dancers are shorter. She's not a dancer, but a singer.

[kcarterp1992]

@HigensK "singer" yeah, right. Singing into an auto-tuned microphone, perhaps.

[HigensK]

@kcarterp1992 Well she may not be a singer in your opinion but it's what she loves doing.She's not the greatest but she has a great attitude when she opens her mouth to sing or to speak. Jon Foreman is amazing. I have been a bigger fan of him for years and always will be. Also, Whether you liked her singing or not Jon Foreman obviously didn't mind singing with her and must have some sort of respect for her. Just as you should. It's not easy getting up in front and singing of the whole world.

[5665brightlight]

She didnt know the lyrics.... and ami the only one that finds her movements a little awkward...?

Fyi, not a hater. I actually enjoy some of her songs and i think she is a sweet girl.

[lglpguitar247]

Oh my goodness...She sang the verse like she'd heard that song maybeee 1 time before this show!!! Haha!

[Interestingenough4]

Ok, so how does she get all these major musicians to make a cameo performance at her shows? Apparently she (and/or her staff) contact them?

[Interestingenough4]

You can't go wrong with Switchfoot.  Jon's legit :)

Glad to see a Christian musician finally getting the spotlight with T-Swizzle.

[theduetsmusic]

@Interestingenough4 You do realize NeedToBreathe (Christian Band) has been touring with them for this entire tour? She's definitely giving some Christian props....

[Interestingenough4]

@theduetsmusic Oh yeah, I forgot that Needtobreathe is often considered a Christian band. It'd be really cool to see her perform with Matt Thiessen of Relient K or Adam Young of Owl City.

[RosieUnknown]

@theduetsmusic I love it too! My friend's favorite band is NTB and mine is TS, we wanted to see this tour so bad! But they never came to NM.

[drummerboyfromspace]

Who would have thought that The Foot + T-Swizzy would be a match made in heaven? Fabulousity!!!

[extremeliyo]

Is her band really playing the background music??? I mean, they probably only got a few hours or at most a couple days to learn, rehearse, and perfect it to be THAT good..... i bet they're fake playing to a background track.

[TaySwiftVidz]

@extremeliyo These artists usually stop by to rehearse earlier in the day. Sometimes they get no rehearsals like with Usher, they had no rehearsals and is kind of why they just improvised who was singing what lines when they got up there lol it was a bit of a mess wih some silent parts but it was good nonetheless.

[kcarterp1992]

@extremeliyo Well, if they're professional musicians it probably wasn't hard for them to learn it. As much as I love Switchfoot, Meant to Live is definitely not one of the most difficult songs Foreman has written.

[westportproductions]

@extremeliyo taylors band is incredible, they are all, along with taylor, so talented. ive seen them, they know how to play, but the chords to this arent that complicated either

[angelofphoenix1983]

I was there!!! This was so amazing!!

[cmfan26]

Taylor swift & switchfoot together, who'd of thought? pretty cool though if you ask me

[ghizgrrl]

Jon Foreman's birthday is 10/22 which was the day after this happened. it was a good birthday present for him. I went to the show she said they had that night and it was amazing!! love switchfoot!

[KimandKhem]

Jon Foreman?! With Taylor Swift?!?!

[silamf]

Taylor isn't making this song better than the original by singing some parts of it.. /:

but still i respect her good taste in music :D

Jon's awesome!

[dmusiclove]

Jesskadang: I don't necessarily like Taylor Swift's music, but I appreciate you posting this for the Jon fans to see. Thanks!

[WorldWar2ismylastnam]

Booya! Switchfoot rocks!

[amynicole331]

SERIOULSY?!?!?! MY TWO FAVORITE ARTISTS EVA!!!! MY BRAIN'S EXPLODING OMGOMGOMG

[immrmessy]

Yay for Shaky-Cam

[elementosekreto]

Definitivamente la voz de Taylor no sirve para el rock. Jon simplemente SUBLIME.

[TheTJFish]

Wow, this is great. Too bad she didn't know the lyrics lol.

[westportproductions]

@TheTJFish actually, when she sings with other people, she gives them their time and sings parts of it. she never missed the lyrics. shes an amazing artist

[ReenaKersey]

JON FOREMAN<3 

[nena328]

I met Jon foreman wen I saw him in concert last month in NYC!! sorry Taylor but you shouldn't sing this it's not your thing

[TheNatedog24]

she's sorta cool but sorta butchers the song. but happy bday JON!!!

[dashabon]

This girl SPOILED everything. I strongly dislike it.

[srhechmbrs]

where does she mess up the lyrics?

[mrshyder1119]

@srhechmbrs the second verse. She was suppose to sing "Dreaming about Providence

And whether mice or men have second tries." But she sings something completely different.



[helloitsemi]

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!

[mrpops2ko]

Anybody else happen to notice she was singing the wrong lyrics?

[lea8295]

If only taylor swift could sing on key when she's live and if only she knew the words really.

[Nvergiveup11]

@lea8295 Amen! and oh my gosh, she only had 2 or 3 lines to learn! I'll tell you one thing. Jon would never have done that to her. He would have known the words or not sang along.

[kcarterp1992]

@lea8295 If only I could click thumbs up on your comment more than once. But those two key differences are what separate the league of musicianship Jon is in versus Taylor. He actually sings in tune.

[twilightmanic100]

umm it sounds like she sang the wrong lyrics

[carlosrocker52]

Dude, when she did that little headbang, my respect for her rocketed

[quazarthemad]

-_- one of her favorite bands? and she messed up the lyrics? wow...

[Nvergiveup11]

This was a great plan but how can you invite a band to come be part of your show, plan to sing along with them and then not know the words to the song? Taylor, get your act together. That was rude & just plain wrong on so many levels. I enjoy Taylor's songs but this made her look bad, in my eyes. Switchfoot is a class act & deserved a little more respect than that... jezzz! Taylor, you still need to learn the words & then sit down & think about what they mean..... I'm just sayin' ....

[manhattansky66]

OMG! Those are my two all time favorite singers. I've seen them both in concert multiple times but I wish I could've seen them together! This is amazing. :D

[theorthianguy]

Okay... Switchfoot does have other songs than this one... and BETTER songs too...

[pelonproductions]

OVER THE TOP, AMAZING!!!

Glad to know a good Christian band like Switchfoot is well seen on the map... Just hope they don't go secular and forget their purpose... :D

[ripkenfan86]

Please someone tell me she's not saying, "Wondering why Samantha sucked me dry." That's how I heard it the first time and so I played it three more times and consulted two other videos. It still sounds like that to me. I've lost what little respect I once had for Taylor, and this is coming from a former fan who once met her personally.

[SelinaLovesMusic]

@ripkenfan86 it sounds exactly like that to me as well..:D

[ripkenfan86]

@SelinaLovesMusic Thank goodness it's not just me! I just thought there was something wrong with my ears.

[TheBamSauce]

Jon Foreman was meant to live for so much more than this....why would he perform someone that can't sing?

[MisterPenguinMusic]

I wish the audience would shut up, I can't hear a thing.

[TARDIS45910]

I like both singers, but i have to admit, this sounds kinda weird....

[CPJvmaster]

yes switchfoot FTW.

[j2a0k1e1]

This. Is. So. Wrong.

[COLIKAGE]

More like "Jon Foreman - Meant To Live with Taylor Swift" :DD

[thegreenebean98]

Why haven't they recorded this yet? So dang amazing.

[Punisher26SK8]

ok my dreams came true; i wasnt expecting my fav band with one of the best singers and most beatiful girls.

[HopelessRomantic110]

Omg. This made my day. <3

[fazzification]

wtf. she messed up thew lyrics :/

[theface520]

this is soooo awesome! i love switchfoot and taylor.

WE WERE MEANT TO LIVE FOR SO MUCH MORE!

[acousticman2011]

This is why Switchfoot is one of my favorite bands of all time. Love Mr. Jon Foreman

[CompletelyDeluded]

SWIFTFOOT

[hpis2cool]

OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!!! =D

[gibsondude07]

This is so epic!!!

[compton182]

amazing! so epic!

[VMRVid]

His voice sounds different and what is taylor singing

[marsz17]

@VMRVid just the second voice to the song ;)

[tswiftdreamer]

This performance once again, shows that Taylor's EXTENSIVE knowledge of all different kinds of music. Superb!

[xXForgottenFallXx]

@tswiftdreamer Um, as much as I like Switchfoot, I'd hardly classify an alternative rock band with some post-grunge elements as "extensive music knowledge"

[trickboarder247]

@xXForgottenFallXx yes, especially considering she didn't know the lyrics lol.. I guess she had reached the extent of her "extensive music knowledge"

[classybelieber]

omg i started freaking out when he came out!! HER CONCERT WAS AMAZING<333

[moreiraisabela]

I LOVE this song!

[swatwhatbutgawd]

is this real life? fucking awesome!

[TacticalToast15]

i betcha Jon's ear exploded when she got the words wrong haha, but this is awesome

[clarabell02]

"wondering why snenande second tries" haha oh taylor...

[ncfrost89]

You were further back than us lol that's cool we were there at the same concert

[eaunan]

pure awesomenessivity!!

[NHLFan464646]

You dont get to see that every day

[collin14524]

omg so this is f'ing epic

[thefallout25]

haha she got the words wrong....

[fsceliteproductions]

when during the concert did she perform this?

[jesskadang]

@fsceliteproductions i think it was maybe the third or fourth song she did

[MrChumba1k]

@fsceliteproductions Very early. She's still in her first dress. :-)

[fsceliteproductions]

@MrChumba1k yeah thats what i was thinking, she usually doesn't have guests that early in the show lol

[totesme14]

@fsceliteproductions Switchfoot had a concert that night, so he had to appear early.

[inescerso]

OMGG JON FOREMAN!! I LOVE YOUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAYY!!!
