Swift told the 300 people who gathered to see her that the intimate setting was an opportunity to show how the songs sounded when she first wrote them.
On MPR’s sister station The Current, the 9:30 Coffee Break segment highlighted the work of Native musicians — including William Prince, who recorded a version of his song “Breathless” in the Current’s studios.
According to Songfacts, Harris was inspired to write the song after receiving a breakup letter from his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend. She reportedly signed it “miss you much.”
Lead singer Dave Simonett told The Current’s Jay Gabler that the band has been asked to sing the anthem before and turned it down, but they decided to go for it this time, in Monday’s playoff game.
