OMG!! How had NOT seen this performance before now?! It's INCREDIBLE!! That little look & smirk to the camera at the end there . . . OH, MY GOSH!! 😅 I GENUINELY did NOT know that she performances this song on the #FearlessTour till NOW!! (Also, now I feel like I understand more what her mom meant when she said, "If I was a mother of a 10-year-old, I would cover her eyes at that move!" LOL 😂 'Cause that "little dip move" that Taylor did WAS quite s*xual for her to do back then!! 😅)
From NPR 2008: So it seems a little weird to ask if anybody's noticed that she can't sing. And by that, I don't mean that she's bland or immature or incapable of connecting with her material or totally devoid of any personality whatsoever. I mean that she can't carry a tune. Sunday's AMA performance of "White Horse" was practically a home run by her standards: her voice was weak, she appeared to be desperately trying to remember to hit all of her marks and there are some seriously rough patches towards the end, but for the most part, she managed to hang on to the song enough to sound like Vanessa Carlton on a bad day. No such luck at the last two CMAs. The broadcasts are less about handing out awards than about providing a national showcase for country music, and Swift rose to the challenge with live versions of "Love Story" (from two weeks ago, shown at the top of the post) and "Our Song" (from last year) that were awful in the earnest, self-unaware manner of someone about to be rejected from her American Idol audition by Paula Abdul because neither Simon nor Randy feels like being mean to her. She seems to be sweetly, genuinely untalented. Yet here Swift was, in giant rooms full of music industry types ostensibly there to celebrate excellence who enthusiastically applauded her every time. Whatever, Nashville.

He is sensible and so incredible And all my single friends are jealous He says everything I need to hear, and it's like I couldn't ask for anything better He opens up my door and I get into his car And he says, "You look beautiful tonight" And I feel perfectly fine But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name So in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you He respects my space And never makes me wait And he calls exactly when he says he will He's close to my mother Talks business with my father He's charming and endearing And I'm comfortable But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And It's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name You're so in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you He can't see the smile I'm faking And my heart's not breaking 'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all And you were wild and crazy Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated Got away by some mistake and now I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain It's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name I'm so in love that I acted insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you Whoa-whoa-oh-oh, oh And that's the way I loved you Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you
