Her performance of "Out Of The Woods" at the Grammy's was really incredible. Also, the day "Ours" doesn't make me gush is the day I've sold my soul to the devil
Some of my favorite performances on the 1989 tour were her re-done older tracks, this version of Love Story is really my everything.
Also, to follow up that post, I had never seen this til right now, a rehearsal video of the performance with some of her figuring things out ahead of the performance. Also is interesting to watch her sing when she isn't like, fully dedicated to a full performance. Kinda misses some words a bit, has a bit less UMPH etc
I don't think I've ever really been blown away by any of her performances cause she's too awkward and her stage mannerisms are super affected and odd but I love her concert music videos, like the one for Sparks Fly.
I feel like most people prefer Clean as her best closer but Long Live makes me so ridiculously happy. It's like an instant mood lifter.
Clean may be my least favorite track on 1989... and I'm fully aware of my minority position in that regard.
Those two are both very close to my heart. Could never choose between them. I also love that they used Boomwhackers on "Clean" because I've been talking about how underrated they are for years
Yeah, nope. I'd give the edge to "Long Live," which is saying a lot, because "Clean" is probably my favorite 1989 track.
That's the word I was looking for. Every time I listen to it I'm like brb, off to conquer the world now
I never know quite what to do with Speak Now. It's scattershot and inconsistent, but loaded with some of her best songs. The last three, in particular, are terrific.
I just imagine it's what it feels like to win album of the year "Last Kiss" is one that grows hugely in my esteem with time.
I thought I wasn't all that familiar with Speak Now, but recently went back to it and realized just how many huge hits were on that.
