Taylor Swift Sings “Tonight” With a Twist

August 31, 2009

I'm a sucker for a good ol' lyrical rearrangement. And in this promotional spot for MTV's VMA show on Sept. 13, Taylor Swift has taken "Tonight" from West Side Story and turned it into her own funny-but-true thing. Like when she sings, "Tonight, tonight, I'll sing my song tonight/There will be no teardrops on my guitar." But the best is her dramatic lean out of the New York City cab backseat window as her voice soars on the line about making this VMA song take flight. I just hope the show itself lives up to the hype in these Broadway-style promos.
