“The most important thing about this particular project is that this is a song that would not be a special song in every setlist I do, in every single list where someone says, ‘These are the best songs she’s done’ — that was all because of you,” Swift said at the event.
“A record label didn’t pick this song as a single. We never made a video for it. This was a song that started out as a song on the album, just a simple track 5. And you went and turned it into what it is now,” she added. “It started out as a song that was my favorite. It was about something very personal to me. It was hard to perform it live.”
