taylor-swiftCountry Music sweetheart Taylor Swift closed out the Chicago Country Music Festival on Sunday for a crowd full of Country Music fans and Chicago Marathon participants.  Swift’s set opened with a series of home videos set to Rascal Flatt’s “My Wish.”  The videos chronicled Swift through her years of young life, and once the videos began showing Swift as a teen, the movie ended and Swift walked out onto stage.  She performed “I’m Only Me When I’m With You,” “Our Song,” “Should've Said No,” “Stay Beautiful” and “Change.” “Change” is a track off her next album, and Swift said she wasn’t counting down the days until its release, but then immediately added that it was 29 days, 36 hours and 14 seconds. Swift ended her set with a solo, acoustic version of “A Place in This World,” telling the crowd she wrote the song after seeing a special about how Faith Hill moved to Nashville to try and make it in the County Music industry.
