Top Ten Taylor Swift Performances
Love or hate Taylor Swift, she does have pretty awesome performances. Her performances are less about her voice and more about the story of the song. She has constume changes, stage diving and plenty of fun things to bring her songs to life. I have to admit, even if her voice is weak-she is a great entertainer. Her top ten performances are below.
10. Picture to burn (Country Music Television Awards)
Taylor’s performance includes fire. She adapts the lyrics and adds vocal rifts. It’s a pretty good performance. Plus, the hair flipping is enough to make you laugh.
9. Forever and Always (Country Music Awards)
This song is about Taylor’s relationship with Joe Jonas and she is pretty angry. The lyrics flash behind her in red and she even takes her anger out on an innocent chair.
8. Ours (Country Music Awards)
Simple but sweet. In this performance, Taylor sings her song while sitting on a couch. Her voice is strong and it is a great performance. This one isn’t about show, it is simply about the song.
7. Change (American Country Music Awards)
Who doesn’t like a performance when you sing in the air? The song has a pretty uplifting message so Taylor is literally lifted up when singing it. She even runs through the crowd to get to the stage.
6. Mean (Grammys)
Taylor goes bluegrass in her ‘Mean’ performance at the Grammys. She even cutely adapts the lyrics. It’s adorable.
5. You Belong With Me (Video Music Awards)
In this performance, she’s having fun, singing and riding on a subway. Then she runs to the middle of the street and sings on top of a Taxi. She even has a costume change. If that wasn’t impressive enough, ten minutes before, Taylor had her mike stolen as she was accepting the award for her first VMA. I would be sobbing in my dressing room. Instead, she was rocking in NYC.
4. 22 (Billboard Music Awards)
This is just a fun performance. There is dancing ontop of tables. There are robots. There are unicorns and fireworks. It is just fantastic and magical. It made me feel 22.
3. I Knew You Were Trouble (BRIT Awards)
I guess Taylor is a fan of costume changes because there are many of those performances on this list. Trouble includes a cool white to black costume change. It seems to show how the relationship that she was in changed her.
2. Should’ve Said No (American Country Music Awards)
Swift ends the song in the rain and she has a costume change. While her voice wasn’t exactly perfect, she did sing in the rain and that is pretty cool.
1. Love Story (Country Music Award)
This is the song that really helped Taylor Swift shine. She won a VMA for it and performed it at the CMAs. In this performance, She changes costume in the middle of the dances. Sure, Romeo and Juliet didn’t get the happiest ending but Taylor’s performance is pretty fun.
So, what’s your favorite Taylor performance or are you completely anti-Taylor?
