 Swift performed a medley , which included " You Belong with Me " at the 52nd Grammy Awards . Wearing casual white blouse and black skinny jeans , Swift performed " Today Was a Fairytale " and then announced , " Its a fairly tale and an honor to share the stage with Stevie Nicks " . Following , the two performed a cover of Fleetwood Mac 's " Rhiannon " ( 1976 ) . Swift then grabbed her acoustic guitar for the third and final part in her medley , jumping into a twangy version of " You Belong with Me " . Nicks stood back , tapping her tambourine and nodding , every so often stepping up to the microphone to sing with Swift . Eric Ditzian of MTV News was disappointed at Swift 's and Nicks ' harmonies , but said the two " made for a compelling twosome " . The performance followed much backlash in regards to Swift 's off key singing , which caused Scott Borchetta , CEO of Big Machine Records , to issue a statement defending the performance .
