And I was sitting there, thinking about it after I\u2019d just seen him and I was just like, 'You know what, that was good.' It was, it was good, having that in my life, and I wrote the song and I immediately heard Jeff Bhasker\u2019s production. I hadn\u2019t ever worked with Jeff, but he has done some amazing work. I love what he\u2019s done on Fun\u2019s record, and I love his diversity. He\u2019s just so talented, and so I called him and I said, 'I wrote this song. I really want you to work on it with me.'

The song\u2019s tempo feels his. The drums are pure bombast. They are insistent enough to act as punctuation for the lyrics, which practically tumble out of Swift and fit into one another strangely, like how early Springsteen rhymed as if by accident of memory. Most of all, Springsteen and Swift share a sensibility: that a story can be reduced purely to its rising action. There\u2019s no climax; it\u2019s a tense framework of expectations and barely contained ecstasy. It\u2019s like the seconds right before you run into the middle of traffic. It lasts three and a half minutes.\u201d <em>Pitchfork<\/em> wrote, \u201cThe drums bloom beneath the skin of \u2018Holy Ground,\u2019 a song where Swift discovers a brief connection so glowing and true that she skips over the end of the relationship because it\u2019s not important.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51b19e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"51b19e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Commercial Performance<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcd71a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dcd71a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUpon the release of <em>RED (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, \u201cHoly Ground (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d debuted at No. 76 on the <em>Billboard Hot 100<\/em> chart, the week ending November 26, 2021.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8b6bc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b8b6bc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Taylor's Version<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c14f0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c14f0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor re-recorded \u201cHoly Ground (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d for her second re-recorded album, <em>RED (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, which was released on November 12, 2021, through <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/republic-records\/\">Republic Records<\/a>.

And one of my favorite things about re-releasing the <i>RED<\/i> album is that all the original producers pretty much wanted to return to this project. So working with Jeff Bhasker was one of the highlights of my experience making <i>RED<\/i>, and he wanted to redo his songs on the album, and that was so exciting! The song is about looking back on an old relationship and kind of playing the highlight reel of really beautiful, poignant moments that you shared, and I think this song is just still one of my favorites.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Taylor

Ground RED (2012) | RED (Taylor\u2019s Version) [2021] \u201cHoly Ground\u201d is track eleven on Taylor\u2019s fourth studio album, RED (2012). It talks about moving on from a failed relationship and maturing from it. The title is a reference to a \u201csafe\u201d place, kind of like a truce. The re-recording of the song, \u201cHoly Ground (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d, was released on November 12, 2021, on RED (Taylor\u2019s Version). Table of Contents Background The song was written by Taylor alone. It is one of two songs of hers that Jeff Bhasker has produced (the other one being \u201cThe Lucky One\u201c). When she started writing the track, she knew she wanted Bhasker to produce it. She contacted him and he agreed to work with her. As a result, \u201cHoly Ground\u201d sounds different from any of Taylor\u2019s previous work. She explained the song\u2019s meaning in an interview. \u00abThe song \u2018Holy Ground\u2019 was a song that I wrote about the feeling I got after years had gone by and I finally appreciated a past relationship for what it was, rather than being bitter about what it didn\u2019t end up being. And I was sitting there, thinking about it after I\u2019d just seen him and I was just like, \u2018You know what, that was good.\u2019 It was, it was good, having that in my life, and I wrote the song and I immediately heard Jeff Bhasker\u2019s production. I hadn\u2019t ever worked with Jeff, but he has done some amazing work. I love what he\u2019s done on Fun\u2019s record, and I love his diversity. He\u2019s just so talented, and so I called him and I said, \u2018I wrote this song. I really want you to work on it with me.\u2019 And I played it for him and he was like, \u2018Let\u2019s go! This is great!\u2019 And he did such an amazing job on it.\u00bb Taylor Swift Lyrical Theme In \u201cHoly Ground,\u201d Taylor is looking back at a whirl wind relationship from her past. She realizes that just because said relationship didn\u2019t work out, doesn\u2019t mean she can\u2019t remember it fondly, or that it was wasted time. The memories are still safe and sacred. The song\u2019s hidden message is \u201cWhen you came to the show in SD\u201d which leads to assumption that \u201cHoly Ground\u201d was written about Joe Jonas, who was spotted at Taylor\u2019s San Diego show during the \u201cSpeak Now World Tour\u201d in 2011. Live Performances Taylor has performed \u201cHoly Ground\u201d close to 100 times over the years. She first sang the song live during \u201cThe RED Tour\u201d (2013-2014), where the song served as the second track on the setlist and featured an elaborate drum section. Later on, Taylor performed \u201cHoly Ground\u201d acoustically on \u201cThe 1989 World Tour,\u201d as a surprise song in Dublin on June 30, 2015. In 2016, she added the song to the setlist of her first \u201cGreatest Hits\u201d concert: to everyone\u2019s surprise she sang it at the Formula 1 US Grand Prix on October 22, 2016. In 2018, Taylor chose \u201cHoly Ground\u201d as the surprise song for her \u201creputation Stadium Tour\u201d show in Seattle on May 20. It was also the first surprise song on \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024) in East Rutherford on May 27, 2023, and the second surprise song in Tokyo on February 7, 2024. On July 6, 2024, she played a mashup of \u201cHoly Ground\u201d with \u201cSweeter Than Fiction\u201d (2013) in Amsterdam. In Indianapolis on November 1, 2024, she paired it with \u201cThe Albatross\u201d (2024) on acoustic guitar. Notably, Taylor transformed the originally up-beat \u201cHoly Ground\u201d into an emotional piano ballad at the BBC Radio1 Live Lounge on August 29, 2019, during her gig in promotion of her seventh studio album, Lover (2019). Critical Reception \u201cHoly Ground\u201d was generally well-received, with some critics highlighting it as a standout track on RED. Writing for The Atlantic, Brad Nelson praised the song, writing, \u201c\u2018Holy Ground\u2019 isn\u2019t Springsteen in subject. It\u2019s Springsteen in style. The song\u2019s tempo feels his. The drums are pure bombast. They are insistent enough to act as punctuation for the lyrics, which practically tumble out of Swift and fit into one another strangely, like how early Springsteen rhymed as if by accident of memory. Most of all, Springsteen and Swift share a sensibility: that a story can be reduced purely to its rising action. There\u2019s no climax; it\u2019s a tense framework of expectations and barely contained ecstasy. It\u2019s like the seconds right before you run into the middle of traffic. It lasts three and a half minutes.\u201d Pitchfork wrote, \u201cThe drums bloom beneath the skin of \u2018Holy Ground,\u2019 a song where Swift discovers a brief connection so glowing and true that she skips over the end of the relationship because it\u2019s not important.\u201d Commercial Performance Upon the release of RED (Taylor\u2019s Version), \u201cHoly Ground (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d debuted at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the week ending November 26, 2021. Taylor\u2019s Version Taylor re-recorded \u201cHoly Ground (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d for her second re-recorded album, RED (Taylor\u2019s Version), which was released on November 12, 2021, through Republic Records. She told Amazon Music: \u00abThe song \u2018Holy Ground\u2019 is one of my absolute favorite songs, not only on RED, but of any song that I have been a part of. And one of my favorite things about re-releasing the RED album is that all the original producers pretty much wanted to return to this project. So working with Jeff Bhasker was one of the highlights of my experience making RED, and he wanted to redo his songs on the album, and that was so exciting! The song is about looking back on an old relationship and kind of playing the highlight reel of really beautiful, poignant moments that you shared, and I think this song is just still one of my favorites.\u00bb Taylor Swift Lyrics [Verse 1]I was reminiscing just the other dayWhile having coffee all aloneAnd Lord it took me awayBack to a first glance feeling on New York timeBack when you fit in my poems like a perfect<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":327,"parent":4312,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"unboxed","site-sidebar-style":"unboxed","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2045","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Holy Ground | Taylor Swift Switzerland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u201cHoly Ground\u201d is a song on Taylor Swift&#039;s fourth album, RED (2012).
