Taylor Swift [2] brought "Betty" to the ACM Awards on Sept. 16, where she performed the track from her Folklore album [3] for the very first time. After the singer showed up to the Grand Ole Opry [4] in her head-to-toe Stella McCartney outfit [5], she took the main stage with guitar in hand to strum out the hit song — a moment that feels especially nostalgic, like her early country days.
This appearance marks Swift's big return to the ACMs after a seven-year hiatus. She last attended the show in 2013 for a performance of "Highway Don't Care" with Tim McGraw [6] and Keith Urban [7]. Swift must know we missed her! Her song choice is especially sweet, since the lyrics are a nod to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds's daughters [8]: James, Inez, and Betty. We love a subtle friendship moment. Watch the video below to see Swift's highly anticipated ACM performance.
