Taylor Swift ACM Performance - Pics and video of the Taylor Swift performance of Should’ve Said No at the ACM Awards show in Las Vegas yesterday.
Taylor Swift’s ACM performance got the ACM Awards show crowd on their feet as the 18-year old country superstar totally rocked the house with her performance of “Should’ve Said No”.
Taylor won the Top New Female Artist Award at the Academy of Country Music Awards show and then thanked her mom for going out on the road with her when she was just 16.
Here she is looking lovely on the red carpet at the 2008 ACM Awards show.
Looks like 18-year old Taylor Swift will be a big success in country music if performances like her ACM showstopper “Should’ve Said No” are any indication.
Watch the high-resolution video here on full screen view and see for yourself!
Taylor Swift ACM Perfomance Video
She starts off “Should’ve Said No” wearing jeans and a black hoodie.
About a minute into her performance, Taylor’s backup singers rip off her jeans and hoodie, revealing a black dress underneath.
Then she really starts belting out “Should’ve Said No” before stepping into an onstage rain shower to finish up her amazing performance.
And here’s Taylor looking totally drenched at the end of her performance!
And that’s the chatter on the Taylor Swift ACM performance video.

HACK!
Here’s the sad story: She totally ripped that routine from Brittany Spears. But it wasn’t her alone, it was the industry. I guess Country Music wants their own little whore like Brittany Spears or Lindsay Lohan and they can’t wait to scandalize someone soon.
Of course, once they scandalize her, they’ll try to get her talking: telling her things like ‘be yourself’ (all the while they’ll be trying to convince her that her authentic self is whatever they want her to be and they’ll do this slowly over time so that she will never know they are doing it to her) and ‘it’s important for a woman to speak up in public’ (which in itself is not inherently wrong!) and ‘celebrities should not be made silent just because they are celebrities’ (which also is quite certain).
However, they’ll feed her with bad ideas from the music industry, YOUR music industry, which, although we see it as CountryAmerican music, it is in fact managed by MTV network people with their values and their ideals and they’ve been infiltrating American Country music for nearly 20 years now. As soon as Country music became big enough to walk, they bent her over and screwed her up the butt. That’s what MTV has done to country music.
Soon, they’ll turn Country music into the scapegoat, and this sense of rejection which she feels now by mainstream POP culture (which is actually an anti-culture) will turn into a blacksheep syndrome, which is already happening, and finally, she will try to impress us using this status and begin living up to bad ideals of a perverted and distorted image.
Rising from these ashes, they [MTV] will try to persuade good natured young women such as Taylor Swift, who looked almost ashamed of herself when the water came down on her, to start speaking up and against the traditional values of country music, such as “no homo” and “country first” and they’ll replace those values with “me, me, me” because they know that’s where the real money is. Only those who are opposed to authentic country values and who will sing those kinds of songs will be highlighted by industry bigwigs to play music for you, and you will love them for it because it’s all you’ve got and you stick to your guns.
This is why I stick with Rebel Style Country, or as it is more famously known “Texas Country”. It is far more authentic. In fact, the whole idea of it is very similar to the questions of the ancient theologian Tertullian, back in the 3rd century , who asked “What does Greece have to do with Jerusalem?”
And now I ask, “What does Nashville have to do with Texas?”
And we’ll hold fast to our guns and our religion and our brand of country music, and what you Nashville heathens call country music will fade into obscurity trying ever so hard to be more and more like POP music, which is notoriously BAD. It plain suck balls.
