Taylor Swift LIVE performance @ Times Square New Year's Eve 2009

[mitzi32996]

Kinda hard to sing when you're shivering. try it. I think she did amazing considering

[mitzi32996]

I think she's freakin brave and amazingly awesome. Go listen to her sing now, she's amazing live.

[OxMarissa5x3]

i think every single person who says she cant sing needs to shut the fuck up x out of youtube & go find a hobby other than hating on flawless individuals

[mitchm81495]

She starts out good then it gets worse because of the cold. She isn't as affected by it in the beginning, but you can still hear it a little.

[tswifty1407]

I remember I had heard about Taylor Swift but had never heard any of her songs, or even heard her sing! But then I watched this show and I remember having my eyes fixed on the television. After that, I looked up her songs on the internet, bought her CD's and even went to her concert a few months ago. She has made a big impact on my life because it's like her songs are the pages from my diary. I am so thankful I tuned in that day to watch this performance. Love you Taylor! :)

[cheerchick1224]

You guys say Taylor can't sing but sells out her tours in minutes.

[mitzi32996]

@cheerchick1224 not minutes, MINUTE. 1 MINUTE she sold out Madison Square Garden. :D

[pandabearlover13]

Singing in a cold environment is one of the hardest things to do. Everyone sounds a little bad when they sing in cold weather, cause your vocal chords get very stiff and cold which makes it hard for sound to come out. She did amazing for singing in like 5 degree weather.

[hannahfan2712]

Taylor Swift is an amazing person and musician I love you Tay forever <3

[tswiftnation13]

I think Taylor did amazing here... you guys can hate all you want but first I would like you to get up and sing in the freezing cold with millions watching you.

[YouAreMyBestDream]

I was in New York then (not actually in Times Square) but it was LITERALLY 5 degrees. Of COURSE she's gonna sound bad! Anyone would sound bad in 5 degree weather wearing a mini dress!

[DulceMayra555]

stop hating, u try singing out in the fuckn freezing cold live and then try to talk shit huh.

[ana280696]

she's not that good live, but, in these days, who are? And I'm a fan but I'm not stupid to say "OOOOH! HER VOICE IS HOLY!" (not desrespecting who really thinks that way).

[loklok73]

@ana280696 lol.amen. im a fan too but im not a tone-deaf or blindly defend my hero when she sometimes sucks live. but i apreciate her for being real,not lip synching while others(aguilera,spears,bieber) cant handle being criticized for singing bad live, so they lip sinc.( bad english, i know. sorry. but u get the point XD)

[sunkissedgolden333]

my dad and uncle works on the stage every year durring this New Years show..just incase something on the stage breaks or something ..there their. So I am obsessed with Taylor..so I got to meet her After she preformed:) I was crying soo much:) haha I am so lucky to be able to go every year

[waitingontheworld1]

@sunkissedgolden333

**they're there.

[sweetspice08]

I shook her hand on her way to the stage to perform that night!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xitzxgabbyx96x]

isnt she like super freezing when she takes her jacket off? thats so stupid, lol.

[SwiftFan111]

The best boyfriend Taylor ever had in my opinion was Taylor Lautner :)

[smoshlover01]

i wonder who this song was directed to :P

[17jonaslover17]

So let me get this strait she and the Jonas brothers proformed at the same night ? But how could they proformed at the same night and they brokup ?

[nickjonasislove1992]

@clevelandrockscity Yes most of them were but Forever and Always was writter about Joe... that's the song I'm talking about. :)

[peoplepersonization]

gosh it seems cold

[deflepphartme]

You gotta love Al's giant furry coat!

[Numba1Gama]

@deflepphartme Very interesting seeing him with a giant furry coat and then right in front of him Taylor with a sleeveless dress lol

[Catarinaddl]

sHE IS GREEEAT..i LOVE HER

[cheerleaderdude123]

Shut The FUCK Up! Taylor Swift Is Awesome .. Your Just Shity Little Losers With No Life! Have You Taylor Swift haters Been Under A Damn Rock! Thumbs Up If You Think Taylor Swift Is AHMAZING:D

[nickjonasislove1992]

@Wako098 THANK YOU!! ik seriously until you win 4! Grammy's and hundreds of other awards NO ONE can comment on taylor "sucking" people are so dumb sometimes i mean come on! no one is perfect and half of the singers out there WISH they could be taylor. and thanks for the nice reply...

[Wako098]

Picture to Burn isn't the song about the breakup. Forever & Always is. She even said it on an appearance on the Eleen Show!

[PAIGEdw]

Answer this question yeah, if Taylor Swift can't sing then why has she won 62 awards, including 4 Grammys? Why did she sell out a 20 000 ticket show in a matter of minutes?

Taylor is amazing live or recorded! She is absolutely phenomenal.

So get your facts right before you complain about Taylor, seeing as she's achieved A LOT more than you, ha.

I love you Taylorrrr<3

[kittyperry89]

@PAIGEdw in all fairness she sells so much because children run this economy. little kids and parents buy her tickets to her shows. not belittling her... thats just her audience. girls in middle school, elementary school, and those few older ones. she writes songs about fairy tales and princesses, of course little girls are gonna eat that shit up. but she def has accomplished more than me. i'm not saying she hasn't

[EmmaCharmed]

@kittyperry89 FYI, i effing love taylor, n im not in middle or elementary school ... in fact im a security guard, and i LOVE to listen to her music. she has good music, more importantly, she a has a nice to beat to 99% of her songs, wich is what makes us (the fans) love the music. not the fact she sings bout love storys and fairytales. its a good tune, and it got good lyric *shurgs, but thats just me sayin*

[kittyperry89]

@EmmaCharmed if you noticed i put "and those few older ones"

[Numba1Gama]

@kittyperry89 Actually most of her songs are not about fairy tales or princesses, in fact the only ones I can think of are "Love Story" and "Today was a Fairytale" and all of her songs are written by herself, so a lot of the stuff she sings about it how she felt about how something that happened. She's country and a female singer, she's going to have songs about boys, but they aren't all about boys either, theres some like "Change" which are completely unrelated to boys. Just clearin up myths.

[mitzi32996]

@PAIGEdw ha! 62 awards? one year ago, maybe. now, in 2012, the number's 102 out of 188 noms. VERY IMPRESSIVE. <3

[elizabeth1234567bus]

i like her shes my role model i look up to her shes great nobody can sing live that well but shes already

[vampcrazy8]

it was very cold that night so that probably made it hard to sing

[cchhrrkkllee]

i like this song

[zthars]

ha=)))

[verilux83]

Someone said that Taylor Swift is almost as good as Michael Jackson. Lol. Not ever going to happen.

[34sourpatch]

@verilux83 justin bieber is bttr than taylor well for me bcuz im a bieber fan but taylor will never be close to the king of pop

[kittyperry89]

@34sourpatch justin beiber is no king of pop.

[KoreanPopBoA]

Taylor!!! I wish i were there!!!

[taylorswift9226]

It isn't easy singing in the cold

[royupperhill7]

FAIL!!

[mitman617]

ahhh my ears they burn. Shes terrible live..... not a shred of talent

[angelhearts908]

Do you know how hard it is to go on stage and sing in extremely cold weather infront of crowds. I dont but its probably not the easiest thing int he world. wo you haters sing?? probably not. What are you even doing here listening to her music if you hate how she sounds? This girl had a dream and it came true for a reason. Because she CAN sing. So all you haters just leave her alone if you hate her music so much

[karana808]

i dont know if you guys have ever tried singing in really cold conditions? its harder than it looks

[lornanorman]

My favorite sayings of Taylor Haters is "She is horrible live, I never listen to her music!!" Well maybe if you acctually listen to her music you will see she is not as off key as you say. So shut up and quit judging 1 performance. There are so many things that factor into a stage performaance, that if one thing is messed up (besides the voice as I know I will get) then even the best singer sounds bad. So sut up and listen.

[ChihuahuaRules123]

I love it!!!! :)

[Manchestergirl101]

Taylor Swift can't sing. I don't know how she became famous. If she sounds like this live, I wonder what editing they have to do on her voice in the studio. I like Taylor Swift but I don't like her voice. She needs work. :)

[TheJonaSwift1389]

you really hear this live????''

is AWESOME.....

taylor is not beyonce ok

i don't know why people want that she sing lIKE beyonce...her voice is AWESOME SHE IS AMAZING

and yeah she have nerves...

in this she needs to work....

listen the end plzz..she have hight notes,,all the time is just that is live..and is not of CD......

[cschwartzy720]

I think she sounds pretty good, some rough spots but thats her, get over it.

[bella50008]

ANY person in that audience could have gotten up there & sang & 75% would have sounded way, way better, and the remaining 25% COULD NOT POSSIBLY have sounded any worse. She is NOT a singer, she is a studio manufactured barbie doll with a sweet disposition with the BEST darn marketing team known to modern civilization. It's not her fault, she is a tremendous product and the obvious lack of talent is a non-issue. The record label is GENIUS!! This proves that ANYBODY can be a star. ANYBODY.

[urbanr0cker]

She can't sing. Period. Are you people so blind by loyalty that you honestly can't hear how off she sounds?

[CPSEmiliSkoolCaptain]

lets hear u sing dickhead

[urbanr0cker]

LOL oh wow, name calling? And dickhead at that? Well aren't you just a tough fucking keyboard warrior. She can't sing, get over it.

[sinyu76]

if u think thats bad...i dunno wut u consider good...i bet me taking a shit is music to u

[urbanr0cker]

She can't sing. Period. Are you people so blind by loyalty that you honestly can't hear how off she sounds?

[AMoneY380]

shes amazingg (:

give her some slack.. shes 20 years old

out there singing in front of all those ppl..

in the freezing cold,

id like to see any of u try that !

i love you taylor <33

[yourfaceisyummy]

so what if she's 20 years old? ppl younger than her can sing better.

and hey, if you're a singer, you've got to be professional and put up with things like the weather

[AMoneY380]

you have points,

but hey i like her (:

and she must be doin something right considering how successful she is !

[IsaxMx]

Why is she number one ?

[TheQueenGia]

I think it was really cold cause she doesn't sound too good,but she's still a great artist.

[sinuheishere]

it's a very fantastic taylor swift's resume jajaja

[YoDudeBabe77]

oh I wish I could've been there then, I went this year though, or, I guess, last year... :)

[MoonInHerEyesx]

The video quality is absolutely HORRID, bu she sounds amazing.

[drdoodle2006]

A couple of rough spots, but over all I thought it was pretty great performance. Esp considering how cold it was.

[nikirock1]

love this

[Kirstiocity]

She may sound good on cds and stuff but thats because its fixed up, she doesnt sound that great live

[Loony1393]

you also have to keep it in mind that its about 15 degrees out there, and that can MOST DEFINITELY affect your voice.

[sabbe93]

was miley cyrus there too ????? =O

[lynea11]

in 2007/2008 but not 2008/2009 no. so for this one she wasn't. it was JB Demi and Taylor.

[neobattle2]

Happy New Year everyone^^

Greetings from Canada :]

[ruty143sh]

Don't get me wrong I love Taylor but she needs to work on singing live

[tanzia101]

no she doesnt i agree with lindastl

[ZibboLove]

She has a great voice, but maybe she's nervous or something. I think singing live just isn't for her. I still love her to death and she is energetic in her performances.

[nickjonasislove1992]

EVERYONE STOP!!!! Taylor Swift has one of the most beautiful voices ever!!! She is great live or in the studio! And stop hating on the Jonas Brothers! They aren't just another boy band and so what if Jaylor isn't together anymore! A great song came out of the BREAKUP

[Wako098]

@nickjonasislove1992 AMEN

[clevelandrockscity]

@nickjonasislove1992 this song was made before taylor dated joe jonas

[sarita0235]

I think she sounds incredible amazing, she was so energetic and cute!!!

[AnnistynLiddle]

-_- You guys are fagots just like the awesome Jonas Brothers!!!! (The Awesome part was sarcastic. [:) Taylor is great live, so shut up!

[headstronggirl4ever]

NICEE :D

[PortfolioTen]

i heard from some friends that she sucked live. looks like they were right. horrible. when artists are bad live that means they dont deserve any recognition.

[lindastl]

well, she may not be able to sing in live, but atleast she has a good voice(not live). I don't think you can even sing in Live so, don't JUDGE!!!

[PortfolioTen]

oh my god. not being able to sing live MEANS SHE DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD VOICE. and for the record i can sing. i will personally drive to your house and sing for you.

[lindastl]

I bet you never listen to her songs. Maybe that's why you don't know if she has a good voice or nor(not live). And, 1st, you might not want to use the word "Oh My God" cause that's a curse word using GOD's name! And 2nd don't JUDGE on people. If you do not have a good comments for them, JUST STAY THERE and leave them alone.

[BrookeSays17]

I AGREEEEEEE!!!!!

[meggypooh101]

@PortfolioTen your friends were right she suckss live.. she only sounds good when shes sitting still and singing which alot of people can do its nothing special

[rmstosphs]

Well your friend is wrong....I have seen Taylor live and she was AMAZING! Best concert I have ever been to @PortfolioTen

[hibbs3]

at least she doesnt sound like miley-man cyrus

[twilightgirl6271]

wat r u guys talking bout!? she sounds so amazing live! and if she did sound a lil bad in parts, it may be cuz of the cold weather not cuz she has bad talent! so stop hating!

[Juanser02]

I WAS FREEZING TO DEATH!!! Super cold ...... But I can say I was there.

[SelGomezFanX1]

she sure know's how to look good but i would be freezing

[meganbarkermusic]

she mustve been FREEZING!

she always puts on great show :)

[SEKfilms]

shes incredibleee!

i loook up to her soo much

[WarnerKrause]

I was in NYC to watch the ball drop for new years and I don't know how she stood there without a coat on. I had 3 jackets on and I was still freezing my ass off!

[TheLisi27]

she actually has talent...too bad you cant see it. i know this sounds bad but its cause of the quality not her. ive seen her live and its quite great. plus its freakin cold there. so stfu

[SelGomezFanX1]

yeah i know right, everybody's all in their winter clothes and warm and she's in a short dress.she rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheLisi27]

yeah! dont know how she does it....must be freaking cold there! r u a fan? cause I am!!!!!!!!! <3

[bigbluegrl23]

then bad quality follows taylor everywhere bc she always sounds awful live

[furrybobofuzzyrory]

no offence, but the quilaty is horrible

[jbandcamiglia4ever]

what is the name's song??

[Stanty16]

Picture to Burn

[aimar1985]

要风度不要温度，不过这样唱很容易热

[ballerina612]

I love her but shes not very good live. and its probably hot on stage with all the lights so thats why she took off her jacket. unless shes crazy :P

[acinomgirl]

i wonder why she sings great when she is wet(should've said no) and cold(like this one)...

but anyways, SHE'S AWESOME!!!!

SHE TOOK OFF HER COAT AND STILL SINGS GREAT!!!

[billy122211]

so i used to it, she always sings when she has a wet pussy coz she is a slut

[mimiloveszmusic]

TAYLOR IS AMAZING!

[LinkTriforce136]

[bouncingballl1001]

2:18- it was a little off key

The whole thing was awesome!!!!

[doyoulikesesame]

Yeah, more than a little. I've seen worse from her, though; she had reasonable pitch most of the time.

She sure is pretty, though.

[GlitterGirlz120]
