Before the stadium tours and record-breaking Eras runs, there was this: Taylor Swift’s first-ever performance in Brazil, a promotional acoustic show at Rio de Janeiro’s Citibank Hall on September 13, 2012, just ahead of the release of ‘Red.’ The intimate venue held around a thousand fans, and Swift delivered a guitar-and-banjo-driven set featuring “Sparks Fly,” “You Belong With Me,” “Love Story,” and the then-new “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” capped by a first-ever live duet of “Long Live” with Brazilian artist Paula Fernandes.
