Taylor Swift is a country music star in her own right, but she had the honor of being joined onstage at the 2013 Country Music Awards by country legends Alison Krauss and Vince Gill for a special performance of her song 'Red.'

The understated acoustic performance was perfect for the single. Swift's vocals were full of feeling, and her voice fit perfectly with the others on stage. The performance ended with a standing ovation from the star-filled crowd.

Swift was also up for Entertainer of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year, as well as three awards with Tim McGraw and Keith Urban for the single 'Highway Don't Care.' They ultimately took home awards for Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year for their collaboration.
