These Are the 13 Performances That Taylor Swift Fans Will Never, Ever, Ever Forget

It's no secret that Taylor Swift is a huge Tim McGraw fan, even naming one of her first songs after the country superstar. In this early performance, she showcased her storytelling skills with pretty, sweet vocals that convey the nostalgic message of the song. Years later, she performed the song with the idol himself and his equally revered wife, Faith Hill.

Nailing this classic hit, Taylor Swift started her performance in a low-key trench leather coat in the middle of a subway station then ended up in an energetic crowd at Radio City Music Hall.

The country pop singer delivered a haunting performance of "Back to December" here, and it's a rawer, more emotional take on the recorded version.

Performing live in New York City, Swift nailed "Red" with easy, confident vocals while wearing her signature red lip and liner look.

Taylor Swift went all out with the whimsical Alice in Wonderland theme and matched the grandeur of the stage design and choreography with a strong voice. Plus, we got a surprise cameo from Ed Sheeran!

What's a better time to sing a song called "Style" than at a fashion show? Taylor Swift rocked the heck out of her sexy lacy dress, sounded amazing, and looked like she was having a lot of fun.

Taylor Swift's Grammy Museum performances (including "Style" and "Blank Space") arguably showcased some of her greatest live vocals. In this subdued, gritty take on "Wildest Dreams," the pop star sung flawlessly to an intimate audience.

Taylor Swift has come a long way since her debut on SNL with her hilarious monologue song. Here, she shared a confident, stripped-down version of this sweet bop about her beau Joe Alwyn. Even without (that much) glitter or pizzazz, the performance was seasoned and heartfelt.

Shortly after the passing of his mother, Jimmy Fallon asked Taylor Swift to perform "New Year's Day" on his show. Her performance was sweet and emotive, and her lyrics were especially meaningful given the talk show host's story about his mother.

Soon after breaking her political silence, Taylor Swift opened up the 2018 AMAs with a fiery rendition of "I Did Something Bad." This performance was epic, showing off the darker and edgier personality of Reputation and capturing the Game of Thrones inspiration that the singer mentioned in recent interviews.

This doesn't quite summon the spirit of the holidays, but there's no doubt that this performance was awesome. Taylor Swift's energetic choreography game was on point, and she still managed to control her breath and voice.

No, Brendon Urie didn't fly from an umbrella like Mary Poppins here, but he and Taylor Swift brought flawless vocals to The Voice stage, with a ton of glitter to spare.

Taylor Swift threw it back to her Red days with this performance of "Holy Ground" on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in late 2019. She performed it alongside several tracks from her album Lover and a cover of Phil Collins's "Can't Stop Loving You."
