Taylor Swift performed “Red” alongside Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, and Eric Darken at The 47th Annual CMA Awards on November 6, 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee.
The performance stripped away the pop production of the original, transforming the song into an elegant, bluegrass-infused ballad. Swift’s voice was gentle but full of emotion, making the song feel nostalgic and heartfelt.
Alison Krauss sang beautiful harmonies, her soft voice blending perfectly with Swift. Vince Gill played smooth, subtle guitar, making the music feel even richer. The other musicians—Sam Bush on mandolin, Edgar Meyer on bass, and Eric Darken on percussion—added delicate touches that made the performance feel timeless, with a warm, folk-like sound.
The melody of Red rang out, each lyric touching deeply the audience’s heart. Faces in the crowd reflected the song’s emotional weight—some overcome with tears, others smiling, caught in the magic of the moment. Then, in an unscripted twist, Alison Krauss seamlessly took over a verse, and without hesitation, Taylor Swift carried on, effortlessly adapting to the spontaneous shift.
As the final note faded, the crowd erupted in applause, their cheers echoing through the venue. Online, fans and critics alike raved about the collaboration, calling it one of Swift’s most captivating live performances. Social media buzzed with admiration for how beautifully her vocals intertwined with Krauss’s signature sound. The fresh arrangement of Red revealed layers of raw emotion, leaving listeners spellbound.
