Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Lyrics » Taylor Swift
[Intro: Taylor Swift]
(Once, I had an empire)
(Once, I had an empire)
(Once, I had an empire)
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
Once, I had an empire in a golden age
I was held up so high, I used to be great
They used to cheer when they saw my face
Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
[Chorus: Taylor Swift,
Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams
]
And I
feel like my castle’s crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And you don’t want to know me, I will just let you down
You don’t wanna know me now
[Verse 2: Hayley Williams,
Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams
]
Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me
Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far
I held that grudge ’til it tore me apart
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams,
Taylor Swift
]
Power went to my head and I couldn’t stop
Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
And here I sit alone behind
walls of regret
Falling down like promises that I never kept

About Taylor Swift’s Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (2023)
Swift wrote “Castles Crumbling” around 2010 for her third studio album,
Speak Now
. Since then, fans gained knowledge of the song, but no part of it was actually ever heard until it was released as a From The Vault track on
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)
on July 7th, 2023, featuring Taylor’s long-time friend,
Hayley Williams
.
In June 2023, a fan
gifted
Hayley with a bracelet themed after
Speak Now
, fact to which she said that was “coming at a very interesting time.” Her reaction brought fans to speculate about her appearence on the album, which was later confirmed when Swift
posted
its tracklist. While announcing it, Taylor mentioned that Hayley’s band,
Paramore
, was a huge influence to her around the time that she wrote
Speak Now
.
Although “Castles Crumbling” marks their first collaboration, Hayley had already been a
guest star
during Swift’s 2011
Speak Now Tour
, and had also made an appearence in the
music video
for her 2015 single,
“Bad Blood.”
Hayley is also
heavily rumoured
to have been the inspiration behind the song
“Speak Now.”
Lastly, two days before the song came out, Swift
revealed on Twitter
that
Paramore
would be an opening act for several of Taylor’s
The Eras Tour
dates in 2024.

FAQs About Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]
What did Taylor Swift say about “Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]”?
[Working with Taylor] was really special because we have known each other for a really long time in different stages of our lives. We connected in the beginning when Paramore was just sort of starting to break out and kind of become a popular band, and she had already been successful in country [music] but she was kind of nearing her crossover moment, and it was very exciting. I was also very thankful to know someone that was my age, that was in a similar position to me. And over the years, whether we’ve been in contact consistently or not, I’ve just always been really grateful to know I’m not alone in it. She has so many experiences that I can’t even fathom. There’s been so much added pressure that I know nothing about, and the scale of it is something that’s so much grander than Paramore has experienced even, but I think we’ve found such a good honest connection of just trying to be good stewards of the opportunity that we’ve both been given in music. Like, how do we actually use this in the best way that we can? How do we share these opportunities with the right people? How do we experience this and be fully present for it? And I really look up to her for that. But as far as “Castles Crumbling” goes, I heard the song and was super surprised by the storytelling in it, which is no surprise because it’s a Taylor Swift song, but it’s about an experience that we’ve both shared growing up in the public eye and I just feel very honoured to get to sing about that feeling. And yeah, I just really love it. I love it. I can’t believe I got to be a part of it.

Was Hayley Williams always supposed to feature on this track?
When Taylor asked me to feature on Speak Now TV, she originally suggested another song, and I was honest with her that though the song may have been closer to what a casual Paramore fan would expect me to feature on, I didn’t relate to that sound as much,“ Williams recalls. “She then, within minutes, sent me ‘Castles Crumbling,’ and not only did it feel more like a fit, I related to it lyrically on a deeper level … She respected my gut feelings and still pushed me to stay in it with her.
