At the World Series this year (Yeah, Philly) there were a variety of people that sang the national anthem before the first pitch was thrown. Old people, young, groups (BSB), etc. and none of them really did a great job at singing a song that’s been belted out by some amazing singers a thousand times in the past. Until Taylor Swift took a step up to the microphone with her rhinestone encrusted guitar, that is.
Her performance was simple, elegant and not drawn out for the sake of drawing out a song like, “…and the home of the, of the, of the, of the, little ‘ole home, hooooooome, home, home, home, of thuuuuuu, thuuuuu, thuuu braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave!” Ugh.
I really appreciated her performance that night. So much so that I have chosen Taylor Swift as the frontrunner for a parody song that I will write for this year’s RADIATE conference. Which song? That is a secret that will be revealed in December in DC. Come and you’ll find out.
