For the first time in 7 years, Wednesday (September 16) saw Taylor Swift and her teardrop-stained guitar made an appearance on the ACM Awards stage.

Reportedly doing her own hair, make-up, and styling, the Pop star cranked out an acoustic rendition of new song ‘Betty’ (found aboard her chart-topping 8th studio album, ‘folklore’).

Having already reached #42 on the Hot 100 by its lonesome, the spotlight placed on the fan favorite by tonight’s performance will undoubtedly help boost it up the chart.

Curious to see how she fared? Watch inside:

The showing was a welcomed return to the GRAMMY winner’s Country roots after enduring years of heavy criticism for abandoning the genre for more Pop-leaning sounds.
