I'm going to be playing "Love Story" for the rest of my career because the fans really like it. If I ever get sick of it, I would continue to play it at my shows. You have to, as an artist, remember your experiences as a fan. And as a fan you heard the song in your bedroom, you played it over and over again, you know where the fiddle part is, you know where the banjo part is and you like the way it is sung on the record. I don't see me altering the way my previous work sounds live because people want to hear it the way they heard it on record. I don't need to do a jazz version of "Tim McGraw." That being said, we've done some fun mash-ups. Sometimes it's fun to weave someone else's song into your song as a surprise. I'm always balancing -- how much new material do people want to hear, how much old material -- and at the end of the day I'm trying to put on a show that accurately represents where I am now.

"Love Story" on every tour.
Bring back "Teardrops on My Guitar" & "White Horse" and finally sing "Breathe" live

We3ll, i think that we knew that she would singe this on the next tour
She should have a poll on her website for every night for her to perform a song that isn't normally on the setlist
She should also put a poll up with all the songs from Red to get an idea of which ones fans really want to hear live
I think only the people at the concert should choose. Otherwise you have trolls to worry about. Just a simple text your favorite song to some phone # would work well.
I start all of my co-writing sessions with girl talk. I walk in and I go, "I have to tell you what I'm going through right now" and I spend 25 minutes talking about the guy that I met four months ago and how things were fine and then he lied about this and I freaked out. I haven't been talking to him, but I really want to. I want to write a song about that feeling. And then I get out my guitar and say here's my idea, but I wanted to give you the back story before I played you the idea.
