Taylor Swift - Run - 05.27.09 george strait acm artist of the decade all star concert

ANNOUNCER: Welcome back to the All Star Concert for George Strait. And now the winner of this year's Album of the Year award-- Taylor Swift. (audience cheering) When I was 16 years old, I went out on my very first tour as the opening act for George Strait. (audience cheering) I'd never been on a big stage before or sung in an arena, so I asked him if he had any advice about performing in the round. And he said, “Yes, I do.” I sensed I needed to ask a follow-up question. (audience laughing) So, I said, “How do you do that?” And he said, “Just do it for about 25 years, and it'll feel real natural.” (audience cheering, laughing) Tonight, I'm singing my absolute favorite George Strait song. It's called “Run”.
