Taylor Swift Country Performance

It’s been a long, winding and genre-spanning road for Taylor Swift to finally go country again. For the first time in seven years, the singer performed on the Academy of Country Music Awards stage Wednesday night, singing the twangy-in-the-best-way track “Betty” off her surprise quarantine album “folklore.” She did her own hair, makeup and styling for the performance, per People. “Betty” is a peak Taylor Swift song, written from the perspective of a high school boy as part of a trio of songs on “folklore” about a teenage love triangle.
