Taylor Swift Writes New National Anthem

On March 15th, 2025, the award-winning singer Taylor Swift met with President Donald Trump to discuss the new lyrics for the national anthem. Swift had previously voiced her concerns about the current anthem, stating that it was too hard to memorize and sounded outdated. She wished to make it more catchy and suited to modern times. She also disliked how the anthem was written entirely by men, with no women being able to voice their ideas for lyrics.

The new national anthem was written entirely by Swift. She took the previous melody, adding synthesizers and a lot of bass to the official recording. When the song was finished, it sounded similar to Welcome to New York, as the two tracks have similar ringing vocals and dramatic bass drops.

Along with the new lyrics came a new name for the anthem. It will no longer be titled Star Spangled Banner, but American Dream.

Once the final draft of American Dream was finished, Taylor Swift sent it to her friends Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez. She got positive feedback from the two other celebrities, who said the song would inspire future generations. It will also speak to each American’s dreams, making them feel more proud to be an American than ever before.

Swift is expected to release the re-recording of her 6th studio album Reputation some time in 2025. The final version of American Dream is set to air with Reputation (Taylor’s Version). So far, all Swift has released is a short video for American Dream. It features a clip of an American flag billowing in the wind, Kansas prairies in the distance. The video only contained the chorus, but it was nonetheless a little teaser of the song everyone in the country is looking forward to, regardless of whether they’re a Swiftie. The following are the lyrics of the chorus:

These things will change

Walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

All the mountains we moved

It’s a new soundtrack that’s gonna be forever

And never go down in flames

Have you ever hated a song playing on repeat in your head? With American Dream (Taylor’s Version), you will always have a great song stuck in your head instead of an annoyingly repetitive one. After all, it’s not just any song—it’s America’s; the anthem that will set forth a revolution of patriotism in music.
