I would first like to correct Entertainment Weekly on their recent CMA review:
"The crowd gave her [Taylor Swift] a standing ovation for her lovely, simple rendition of “Ours,” which I believe was set in an Anthropologie window."
Um, try Retropolitan window.
As the lights went up on Taylor's performance, I couldn't help being distracted by
an all too familiar blue lamp.
And a white straw rug.
And a sandy pedestal table.
And a silver wire spokes tables.
And a cherry blossom globe lamp.
And...
You get the picture.
"The singer also performed her new song ‘Ours,’ doing so solo and acoustically, on a stage decorated with a couch and old-fashioned lamps, which projected the softest lighting. It was like Swift was performing from the cozy comfort of her own living room … Or yours.
While she spent the rest of the night decked out in gorgeous and glittery dresses, she donned a bright pink sweater, which she paired with black leggings, and nestled deep in her couch to deliver the song. It was a brilliant contrast to the sparkle and shimmer of the red carpet! Since country music is such a homey genre, Swift’s choice of setting and decor for her performance was a well-conceived. Nice touch, Tay!"
