Taylor Swift Performs “I Knew You Were Trouble” Acoustic On ‘Fifi & Jules’: Watch

It seems unlikely that Taylor Swift has had an opportunity to sleep at any point in the last month, doesn’t it? Since her album Red dropped, Swift’s been a promotional powerhouse, churning out performances around the world that have been varied but consistently solid — those by-the-numbers renditions of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” notwithstanding. After a superstar showing of “I Knew You Were Trouble” at the American Music Awards last weekend and an energetic but scaled-down set yesterday on Australia’s TODAY, Swift switched it up again for another Aussie TV show, Fifi & Jules, doing “Trouble” as a dialed-back acoustic number.

Her voice sounds stronger here (that note around 2:55!), and she seems more at ease performing in this context — even if you can kinda still see the pop icon she’s fast becoming. Watch up top.

What do you think of Taylor’s performance? Sound off in the comments or on Facebook and Twitter, then head over to Directlyrics.com to read the lyrics to “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
