Taylor Swift released her third studio album, Speak Now , on October 25, 2010. [1] She wrote all 14 tracks on the standard album by herself and co-produced them with Nathan Chapman. [2] "Long Live" is the closing track of Speak Now's 14-track standard edition. [3] Musically, "Long Live" is a heartland rock song, [4] [5] featuring contemporary country elements, chiming rock guitars, loud cymbal beats, and girl-group-styled vocal harmonies. [6] [7] [8] Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone compared the song's guitars to those on "Hysteria" by Def Leppard, [6] while the musicologist James E. Perone compared the song's production to rock music from the 1980s, specifically the music of the Irish band U2. [9]

Swift dedicated "Long Live" to her bandmates and fans. [4] [10] The lyrics celebrate moments of triumph in the narrator's life, [11] featuring royalty (kings and queens) and high school imagery ("You traded your baseball cap for a crown / And they gave us our trophies / And we held them up for our town") to describe the accomplishments in life. [6] [12] The narrator describes herself as a queen who, with a king by her side, fights dragons to protect her kingdom. [8] [13] Swift also acknowledges that her triumph will fade some day, [1] and there are bittersweet and poignant moments ("If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name"). [12] Towards the end, Swift sings, "Will you take a moment / Promise me this / That you'll stand by me forever," which Billboard interpreted as her message to her fans. [14] Perone commented that the lyrical theme of overcoming odds to achieve victory, coupled with the "near anthem-like structure", resembles David Bowie's 1977 classic "Heroes". [9] Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone agreed with this interpretation, saying that "Long Live" throws back to "Heroes" by how "it portrays two lovers who have amicably parted ways but not without leaving an unforgettable mark on one another". [15]

In Vulture , Nate Jones commented that despite Swift's intention to dedicate the track to her bandmates and fans, the "adolescent self-mythologizing" lyrics are universal enough to be taken as a graduation song. [10] Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine commented that the track features fairy-tale imagery recalling Swift's 2008 album Fearless . [16] In an analysis for the New Statesman , Anna Leszkiewicz deemed the imagery of crowns, kings, and queens in "Long Live" a representation of Swift's optimism towards her life and career, and her earnestness with her fans. Leszkiewicz noted that in some of Swift's later songs, such as "Blank Space" (2014) and "Call It What You Want" (2017), the imagery became darker and represented the pitfalls of celebrity. [17] Some lyrics of the song are included in one of Swift's journal entries from June 2010, printed in the liner notes of her 2019 studio album Lover . [18]

Live performances

Swift's first live performance of "Long Live" was for an NBC Speak Now Thanksgiving Special, which broadcast on November 25, 2010. [19] The television special showcased the making of the album along with live performances on a rooftop in New York City. [20] She also included the song as part of the set list of the Speak Now World Tour, performing it as the last song before the encore. [21]

Swift performed "Long Live" on select dates of her later tour, including the Red Tour (Vancouver, June 2013), [22] and the 1989 World Tour (Melbourne, third night, December 2015). [23] On her Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), she performed a mashup of "Long Live" and "New Year's Day" on piano. [24] Following the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023), Swift added "Long Live" to the set list for the Eras Tour, from July 7, 2023 to March 9, 2024, as part of the Speak Now act; [25] [26] she also performed as part of a piano mashup with "You're on Your Own, Kid" (2022) during a Lisbon concert on May 25, 2024 and as part of a guitar mashup with "Change" (2008) during a London concert on August 19, 2024 [27]

Reception

After Speak Now was released, "Long Live" debuted and peaked at number 85 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [28] In a review of Speak Now for Rolling Stone, Sheffield stated that it is "a ridiculously over-the-top prom anthem". [6] He placed "Long Live" sixth on his list ranking all songs in Swift's discography, and called it "a song nobody else could have written, as she rides those power chords home". [5] In BBC Music, Matthew Horton noted the track as an example of Swift's maturing songwriting. [29] In a 2021 retrospective for Consequence , Natalia Barr picked "Long Live" as the best song from Speak Now; he lauded its anthemic production and lyrical sentiments and opined that the song "has only gotten better with time". [8] PopMatters editor Dave Heaton compared the song favorably to "Change" from Fearless; he found "Long Live" somewhat generic, but that the ambiguity of its subject matter strengthened the song's appeal as an anthem. [11] Spanos picked it among the 10 best deep cuts in Swift's discography and wrote: "Swift can make falling in love sound like every holiday is happening at once." [15]

On a less positive side, Keefe believed that the high-school imagery showcased Swift's lack of repertoire in her songwriting. [16] In her review for HitFix , Melinda Newman deemed "Long Live" too long and lyrically unsophisticated compared to the sharper lyricism of other tracks. [30] Mikael Wood from Spin selected the song as one of Speak Now's most forgettable, alongside "Sparks Fly". [31] NME 's Hannah Mylrea, in a 2020 ranking of Swift's catalog, regarded "Long Live" as a generic filler on Speak Now. [32]

"Long Live (Taylor's Version)" on YouTube

After signing a new contract with Republic Records, Swift began re-recording her first six studio albums in November 2020. [38] The decision came after the public 2019 dispute between Swift and talent manager Scooter Braun, who acquired Big Machine Records, including the masters of Swift's albums the label had released. [39] [40] By re-recording her catalog, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, including the copyright licensing of her songs, devaluing the Big Machine-owned masters. [41]

A re-recorded version of "Long Live", titled "Long Live (Taylor's Version)", was released on July 7, 2023, via Republic Records as part of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) , Swift's third re-recorded album.
