Taylor Swift - "Teardrops on my Guitar"

1:42. I came. Then again and again as it kept playing.



I'm starting to be slightly devastated that I can't go see her live again at the end of this year (next year?). This performance is honestly so lovely. This is possibly the best live performance she has ever done. She sounds so good when she actually sings country and not that We Are Never Ever crap.

I feel she is more comfortable and confident with the country (yeah, I alliterated) and that's when she experiments and goes for notes she wouldn't with her newer songs. I hate it when she goes for "big notes" in songs like I Knew You Were Trouble because it sounds so artificial and unnatural, like it's thrown in there because there needs to be one big note in every song. But when she sings country and goes for the notes, it adds actual emotion and feeling and meaning to the song.

Further evidence:



I'm such a turd. Sometimes I listen to her sing live and I'm literally in tears. I'll be sitting in front of my computer, listening, with my chin resting in my hand and having tears roll down my cheeks.

These new acoustic performances are so hauntingly beautiful. Her voice is so full of emotion and purity. It's fucking outstanding.
