Taylor Swift - Should've Said No (ACM Awards Performance)
Added 2025-05-31 13:20:09 +0000 UTCThis was such a fun performance of Taylor at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards! I just found an HD version if anyone is interested. I'll link it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ukfQNjr6RE

Idk if anyone said this but this wasn't the producer idea it was all her idea! She asked if she could :):)

Daniel Juke
2025-06-01 13:48:09 +0000 UTCFor sure! Sometimes when I say someone sounds good vocally live, it’s mainly that they sounded accurate to the studio version. I’ve read a few comments now about it being a weak vocal performance, and I know y’all aren’t disparaging it at all. I know what you mean. She’s gotten much much better from what I’ve heard as well. I just think it sounds like it did on the album haha. Thanks for the comment!

2025-06-01 13:44:54 +0000 UTCThanks so much Riley!! I’m surprised that one is still up on YouTube haha
Daniel Juke
2025-06-01 13:44:47 +0000 UTCI would assume and hope he only does Taylor's versions. If he loves the album he can look into the original but going through both albums would be a lot. I only say Taylor's versions over ogs because little things the perfected and the vault tracks. I love the og recordings and was so happy to add them back into my playlists. 😊

2025-05-31 23:12:27 +0000 UTCHer voice has improved soooo much since this era, debut was her weakest time in terms of vocals, she needed training (and I say this as a MASSIVE Swiftie) - but I'm also a singer and have performed on stages/been in musicals, competitions, pro choirs, etc! She had issues with pitch and breath control but now as an adult and throughout her career, you can tell she has put in the WORK and now especially, she sounds FANTASTIC!! Her voice is so strong and you can really see how over the course of her career and with each era, she just got better and better. I'm so proud of her! She's all around amazing.
Isa
2025-05-31 23:11:12 +0000 UTCI agree!! For his first time listening, the OGs are a must!

2025-05-31 23:00:07 +0000 UTCThank you so much for finding the high-quality version!! Sorry I sent you such a bad quality. It’s just the one that I could find. 💀

2025-05-31 16:08:46 +0000 UTCLove this reaction. Also, not sure if you heard the news but Taylor bought back the rights to all of her old masters!!! So now, just so you get the authentic experience, I would listen to her old albums instead of the Taylor's versions. Then you can go back to the Taylor's version for the vault songs. Or you can listen to the whole Taylor's version albums and compare it to the originals. But I'd definitely recommend listening to her old work first (especially when you get to 1989)

2025-05-31 14:59:56 +0000 UTCIf I remember correctly she got an award RIGHT AFTER this performance lol but yes she was shocked she got a standing ovation and from all the greats too One of my favorite performances cause you can see how happy she was after and if I remember correctly she’s the one who came up with the performance and it was her really big idea, she’s so cute 🥹🫶🏻 lil baby Taylor 🤏🏻💖

2025-05-31 14:54:24 +0000 UTCFrom here on out.. will you be listening to both versions of albums or still continuing your journey as (Taylor’s Versions)?

2025-05-31 14:40:54 +0000 UTCDefinitely from the mind of an emo kid in jr high haha I loved it
Daniel Juke
2025-05-31 14:36:16 +0000 UTCI am beyond elated for her :)

Daniel Juke
2025-05-31 14:24:20 +0000 UTCTotally disagree!! I think you're basing her vocals off today. They sounded just like the song from the recording in my opinion :)
Daniel Juke
2025-05-31 14:24:04 +0000 UTCHow am I getting this wrong every time !?!?! haha
Daniel Juke
2025-05-31 14:22:45 +0000 UTCWasn’t expecting to get this today, thank you so much Danny!!! 🥹 We really appreciate it 🫶

2025-05-31 14:09:01 +0000 UTCTaylor loves to perform in the rain. During eras tour there were multiple rain shows and she performed through all of them happily. Juke you started this reaction journey deciding that you will only react to the Taylor's Versions and now Taylor owns all her work.

2025-05-31 13:59:22 +0000 UTCDanny, let's be honest. Vocals are weak here. Of course her performance never disappoints. This was early Taylor and she worked hard to improve her vocals. By the following year her voice was MUCH stronger. That guitarist you called Paul Sidoti is actually Grant Mickelson. Paul is on the other side of the stage. Grant left after the Red tour. Paul has been with her from the beginning to now. So has bassist, Amos Heller.

2025-05-31 13:56:01 +0000 UTCThat wasn't Paul playing the guitar, it was her old guitar player Grant Mickelson. Also, she came up with the concept of this performance when she was in 8th grade

2025-05-31 13:43:27 +0000 UTCThat wasn't Paul.

2025-05-31 13:36:10 +0000 UTCSwifties been hoping for a rock album for her for as long as i can remember 😅 Also taylor and rainshows are the real love story! She’s loved rain all her life. Iconic performance, amazing reaction as always. 👏🏻👏🏻💙
