Her voice is terrible! Flat!

She usually sounds horrible live, so I was impressed to see her on pitch for most of the song. When the rain stopped, she looked like she was freezing, and an expression on her face that seemed to say "Can y'all believe I just DID that?!"

Are you kidding Perez? What was the purpose of her drowning herself in water?? That was just ridiculous. She is just starting to get annoying now. Did you see her at the end…looking at everyone like "yeah, I know you all just LOVED my performance…I'm the best there is." She needs to be humble and she clearly doesn't know how to be that way.

Ummm.. says – reply to this

27

Does the chorus of her song remind anyone else of Breathe by Faith Hill?
Flangelina bogey says – reply to this

28

Damn, I missed it. I was too busy trimming my lady garden.
Common Sense says – reply to this

29

She absolutely cannot sing. The only reason the latter half of that performance "sounds" on-key, is because they had to cut off the mic and play a tape (lipsynch), as to not cause electrical shock from the water. Should have just let that happen. Would have made the performance more entertaining. And . . . She looks like a rabbit.
court says – reply to this

30

I hate the way whe stands and stomps her feet. She looks weird.
Kelli says – reply to this

31

WOAH! She did very well. I really liked how she changed up the song a bit. The water thing was awesome too.
I love ya Taylor!
Hayley says – reply to this

What the hell was so good about that? She has a rubbish voice. You appear to be losing your touch Perez!
lexi says – reply to this

Britney did it better in the Dream Within a Dream Tour.
TwinSusan says – reply to this

46

Wow! What a performance. When it first started out I couldn't figure out the hooded sweat jacket look. What an ending! She is great!
Record Guy says – reply to this

47

R U Serious? her performance was terrible! Look I work in the music business (formally of Capitol now at another big label) and I could honestly say it was the worst of the night. She was off key, her hoodie was a terrible prop, and the rain at the end was cheesey to the max. I was actually embarrased for her. Not to sure who manages her, but she needs help. Its a good thing is a 6 foot good looking blonde because if a chubby brunette gave that same performance, she would be villified in the media today!

are you deaf?!

Loved it!

her voice is terrible!
shomakhang says – reply to this

51

her voice grates on my nerves. not impressed. and it's overly-produced in typical american fashion. all excess, no talent.
Ldysunfyre says – reply to this

52

Are you kidding me? She was off-key very badly! Brought what? Tone deafness?
copy cat says – reply to this

53

Honestly, she sounded like she sang karaoke of a country Avril Lavigne song AND Britney did this all before. I don't think I want to see an 18 years old COUNTRY singer attempting to be Britney Spears.
Joan says – reply to this

54

ya i was def thinking she sounds like avril and that is not a compliment…bad.
matilda says – reply to this

55

The last time I saw rain on stage was for Tokio Hotel at the Mtv EMAs, that was good too
hmmmmmm says – reply to this

56

she's adorable…….
her singing is like screaming pain though
taylor rocks says – reply to this

57

Re: Common Sense – Have you ever heard of a battery powered mic? don't be such a cynical ass. when you were 18 you were def. not doing anything like this. you are obviously jealous of a little girl. how sad. She rocked it. from hearing her interviews she sounds like a very humble, sweet, and smart person for her age.
Marc says – reply to this

58

Impressive??
how she can sing half of the song out of tune or the Avril Lavigne complex?
Nigga please.. how much they paid for you to say shit like that?
LAS says – reply to this

59

That was AWFUL! This girl can't even sing.
Ca Girl says – reply to this

60

As Randy would say, she sounds pitchy to me. I like the costume change, though.
jen says – reply to this

61

She sounded horrible! What the hell are you talking about? She missed half of her notes!
ty says – reply to this

62

awful, totally lipped the entire last part of the song when she was under the water, yeah, that only part that was in tune, cos they had to auto tune her ass all the way through her album.
m.w.b. says – reply to this

63

Yikes…How embarrasing for her. She should have lip synched like all of the other no talented whores out there.
jenelle says – reply to this

64

how very kelly clarkson. Hopefully she sticks around longer and doesn't get fat.
www.sparkliesunshine.net says – reply to this

65

Horrible. She is like the country Avril.
AudibleHush says – reply to this

66

Hardcore!
i don't think she sounds as good live, but that' just my personal opinion.
Avril does ... says – reply to this

67

… country. Sorry, Perez, but she was just okay and her voice is weak. Also, what's up w/the rain at the end? Is that supposed to mean something?
already been done says – reply to this

68

britney did these stunts years ago
satisfaction performance with opps i did it again… the suit was ripped off to show that nude suit thing
and the rain
ya britney did a whole end to a concert with that except better
dream within a dream tour
taylors just a copy cat

Re: Common Sense – I completely agree. And the rabbit comment…hilarious!
Melanie says – reply to this

Perez. Darling. I thought we'd filled you in on this before. Taylor Swift is not so much a fan of the homosexual folk. Bad form….
pumkin77 says – reply to this

71

I love Taylor Swift, and she sounded amazing!! Anyone who is hating on her has nothing better to do, seriously
deathlike says – reply to this

72

country music died in '73. This is just more empty sounding pop bullshit.
Izzy says – reply to this

73

I'll give her credit for trying! The vocals were not great but by comparison to a few other "live" performances lately (um, Britney??) it was stellar. Give her a few years and I think her voice will mature into something really nice.
dd says – reply to this

74

She sounds terrible stupid song too.
ashaley says – reply to this

75

kelly c did the rain thing a few years ago, way better at mtv ma. this chick sounds horrible.
uggabugga says – reply to this

76

Rock on Taylor! This little chick has her head on straight and is a great role model for young girls. Her performance was awsome!
john charles says – reply to this

77

didn't britney already do the rain thing? and kelly clarkson? i was not very impressed with her voice at all. carrie underwood has a much better voice.
THE WORDS 2 THE SONG ARE GOOD! says – reply to this

78

SHANIA WOULD HAVE SONG THAT SONG WAY BETTER!
BRING SHANIA BACK!
__dani says – reply to this

79

HA! you have to be kidding. she is so weird, awkward, and ANNOYING.

and she looks like a friggin siamese cat.
Jou says – reply to this

80

That performance SUCKED!!!! I saw it last night and couldn't finish it …it was THAT bad. She was off key..she kept her legs spread apart in HER DRESS…WTF? CLOSE YOUR legs …it looked soooo bad. HORRIBLE performance.
Um, don't think so says – reply to this

81

That was utterly ridiculous. This little girl has one of the weakest/thinnest voices I have ever heard. I am sure she is a sweet girl, but "brought it"? I think N-O-T. Isn't this that same little girl who has that crappy song playing on the pop-radio stations too? I can't remember the name of it, but…wait….it almost came to me oh yeah, that song where she's singing about somebody named Drew or something? AWFUL! To me, the above performance looks like a little girl trying to be an adult entertainer and failing miserably. Back to the studio for this one, I can see why she chose country as her genre, it's the only one that will let her get away with such an awful voice. Just my opinion, but I don't think she's all that talented…and that's being kind.
MagicalMe says – reply to this

82

Whatever she is still a little bitch and now she is just a major copycat! Britney Spears did that rain thing in her Dream within a Dream tour and it was way hotter than anything wanna be Taylor did! Taylor didnt touch Britney's performance with a 10ft pole!
writergal says – reply to this

83

i love how many people say that they don't listen to country music yet millions of albums (cds, whatever) sell all the time and rascal flatts and brad paisley's concerts made like more than $100 mill combined last year.

keep denying, people. taylor swift is a darling and amazing.

huh says – reply to this

87

perez go look up britney's dream within a dream tour. hers was 100x better than this. and maybe taylor should have taken a tip from britney and lip synched it as well… she struggled through that entire performance
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova says – reply to this

Wet. Barely Legal. On her knees. Need I say more.
Jenn says – reply to this

92

how is it possible for her to sing into the mic in the rain…the water hitting the mic would have made a ridic loud noise. she probably lip synced - which makes it slightly less cool. a good performance, but not AMAZING!!!!
can it douchebags says – reply to this

93

to the haters.. whatevverrrrr ive met her in person and she's probably the sweetest girl ever and the trashy sluts who call themselves singers these days AINT GOT SHIT ON TAY SWIFT. she's legit.
Anything is better than Scarlett says – reply to this

shawna says – reply to this

Ashley says – reply to this

97

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!
