Taylor Swift made her first performing appearance on a country awards show since 2013 with an appearance on Wednesday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards, singing “Betty,” a s…

The performance had Swift returning to her roots by performing alone on a stool with an acoustic guitar, accompanied only by a harmonica player.

It was billed as coming live from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, although that wasn’t entirely clear at first, as Swift did without the elaborate lighted backdrops and effects of the other performers at that location, lit more simply with a single spot behind. Only at the very end did the stage lights come up to reveal that she was, indeed, on the Opry stage.

“Betty” is the one song on “Folklore” that harks back in style to early Swift country hits like “Love Story,” complete with a teen romance, now painted as a nostalgic multi-character narrative instead of first-person experience. Swift was the last woman to win the ACMs’ entertainer of the year crown, picking up the top prize in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Wednesday night, Carrie Underwood broke that draught, ending up in a tie with Thomas Rhett for entertainer of the year, winning it herself for the first time since her two-year run with it preceding Swift in 2008-2009.
