 " You Belong with Me " is performed as the opening number on all 2009 and 2010 dates of Swift 's first headlining tour , the Fearless Tour . Before Swift or the dancers entered the stage , a video played on the overhead screens ; it showed various celebrities , including Miley Cyrus , Demi Lovato , Faith Hill , Lucas Till and Swift herself , sharing their definitions of the word " fearless " . Following the video 's completion , the band and backup dancers appeared , dressed in yellow cheerleading uniforms . Swift , dressed in a white marching band uniform , then emerges from the bottom of the stage and commences singing . Swift roams around the stage singing and backup dancers perform cheerleading routines while projections of cheerleaders are shown on the stage . Midway through the performance , the backup dancers removed Swift 's marching band uniform to reveal a sparkly cocktail dress ; she is then handed a rhinestoned acoustic guitar and finishes the performance . Craig Rosen of The Hollywood Reporter believed Swift 's performance of " You Belong with Me " , coupled with the performance of " Should 've Said No " , at the May 22 , 2009 , concert in Los Angeles at the Staples Center made the show a success . The song is also performed on the Speak Now World Tour and The Red Tour . " You Belong with Me " also was performed on The 1989 World Tour in several venues in place of " You Are in Love " .
