Taylor Swift 'Long Live' Finally Added To 'The Eras' Tour Setlist As 'Speak Now' Debuts #1

For those who have been with Taylor Swift since the mid to late 2000s, you would probably know what "Long Live" meant and why it is one of her most underrated songs on "Speak Now."

Now that the album has finally been re-recorded and debuted again at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart like its original version, Taylor Swift seemed to have finally added the song to her official setlist at "The Eras" Tour.

In the now-viral videos, Swift can be seen faking out as she briefly walked away from the audience after singing "Enchanted." As she looked back, she put her guitar on and spoke directly to the packed Empower Field, thanking the fans for the support they have shown for the release of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" in the past week.

Swift just re-released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)," the third re-recorded version of her album, following "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Fearless (Taylor's Version)."

The song first debuted at her Kansas shows the other week, aside from her weekly surprise songs. On Denver's 2-day show, Swift performed "Picture To Burn" from the debut album and "Timeless" from "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" a from the vault song. On her second day, she performed "Starlight" from "Red" and "Back To December" from "Speak Now."

Taylor Swift 'Long Live' Lyrics Meaning

According to Genius, Taylor Swift has always referred the "Long Live" lyrics as a "love letter" to her fans.

"This song is about my band, and my producer, and all the people who have helped us build this brick by brick," she previously wrote on her blog, as quoted by Genius.

"The fans, the people who I feel that we are all in this together, this song talks about the triumphant moments that we've had in the last two years," she added. "'Long Live' is about how I feel reflecting on it. This song for me is like looking at a photo album of all the award shows, and all the stadium shows, and all the hands in the air in the crowd. It's sort of the first love song that I've written to my team."
