A stripped-down performance of 'betty' brought Taylor Swift back to her country roots 🎶

, "The old Taylor answered the phone because she was finally back home. Full circle from country to pop to alternative and back to country. What a journey we had and will continue to have with you, @taylorswift13."

The performance did involve a slight lyric change: instead of the iconic line, "Would you tell me to go f*ck myself?" she swapped it with the slightly more general audience-appropriate, "Would you tell me to go straight to hell?" The song itself tells one side of a high school love triangle, and Taylor sings from the point of view of James, a 17-year-old trying to win back the titular Betty after he wronged her.

“[James] has lost the love of his life basically and doesn't understand how to get it back,” she said in. “I think we all have these situations in our lives where we learn to really, really give a heartfelt apology for the first time. Everybody makes mistakes, everybody really messes up sometimes … I've always loved that in music you can kinda slip into different identities and you can sing from other people's perspectives. So that's what I did on this one.
