Question: At what point did Swift first perform the track live?
About the article "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", section "Live performances".

Candidate passages:
Swift performed the song live for the first time on November 15, 2012, during the second season of "The X Factor" (U.S.).
Swift also performed the song at Z100 Jingle Ball on Madison Square Garden.
The song also serves as the opening track from her Red Tour. 
Swift and Liz Rose wrote "Tim McGraw" during Swift's freshman year at Hendersonville High School.
She conceived the idea in the midst of her mathematics class: "I was just sitting there, and I started humming this melody."
She then related the melody to a predicament she was encountering at the moment.
Swift knew that she and her senior boyfriend, Drew Dunlap, would break up at the end of the year when he left for college.
In order to cope with the complicated emotions she was experiencing, Swift wrote the song.
Rose said Swift showed up at her after school job, writing songs for Sony/ATV Music, "with the idea and the melody, knowing exactly what she wanted."
She desired for the song to capture the sweetness and sadness of loving and losing someone.
It was written about all the different things that would remind Dunlap of Swift and their time spent together, once he departed.
"To her surprise, the first thing that came to mind was love of Tim McGraw's music."
Several personal details were listed for the song.
McGraw's mentioning was a reference to Swift's favorite song, "Can't Tell Me Nothin" from his 2004 album "Live Like You Were Dying", rather than McGraw as a person.
The writing process, as with "Our Song", took place in approximately twenty minutes, and was executed with the use of a piano.
Soon after, Scott Borchetta, CEO of Big Machine Records, signed Swift to his newly formed label.
Early into the album production, in a meeting where Borchetta and Swift discussed potential songs for Swift's debut album, she performed "Tim McGraw" for Borchetta on fluke ukulele.
According to Swift, as soon as Borchetta finished listening to the song, he faced Swift and said, "That's your first single."
She responded, "Well.
That's how that works then."
Prior to that event, Swift did not believe that the song was single material.
However, she followed what label executives told her and accepted that they were correct.
Swift placed "Tim McGraw" as the first track on "Taylor Swift" because of its importance to her.
The song was eventually released as a CD single on June 19, 2006.
In retrospect, Swift has said that the song "is reminiscent, and it is thinking about a relationship you had and then lost.
I think one of the most powerful human emotions is what should have been and wasn't... That was a really good song to start out on, because a lot of people can relate to wanting something you can't have."
When Dunlap, the song's subject, discovered it, he thought it was "cool" and kept friendship with Swift despite their breakup. 
While Taylor Swift was making her acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video for "You Belong with Me", Kanye West got onto the stage and interrupted her; he took her microphone, saying: "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.
One of the best videos of all time!
", referring to the music video of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".
The cameras panned to Beyoncé, who looked shocked, and West was then booed by the audience.
Angered, he flipped off the crowd.
He then handed the microphone back to a speechless Swift.
Backstage, Swift was seen "hysterically crying".
According to "Rolling Stone", when Swift's mother confronted West, he gave "a half-hearted apology in which he added he still thought Beyoncé's video was superior".
After Beyoncé won Video of the Year for "Single Ladies", she acknowledged her experience winning her first VMA at the age of 17, and called Swift back to the stage, hugged her and let her finish her speech.
During the commercial break, singer Pink walked by West and reportedly shook her head in disgust.
West was later removed from the remainder of the show.
Later, he wrote an apology on his blog (which he later removed).
Various celebrities and industry figures, including Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Joel Madden, Adam Lambert, Kellie Pickler, Ryan Seacrest, Chris Jericho, Jeremy Fall, and Dane Cook, spoke out about the incident through Twitter and other outlets, condemning West for the verbal outburst.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton said, "Taylor Swift deserved that award, damnit .
It is what THE PEOPLE voted!
My heart broke for her, she looked so sad at the end of that moment."
Rapper 50 Cent, who has a history of feuding with West, said winning the award was Swift's special moment that night and that West took it away.
"Even an apology can't replace what it feels like for the very first time receiving that award.
Now in her head, "My first award was Kanye West".
And it's damaging," he said.
Donald Trump called for a boycott on West.
In what was an off the record part of an interview, West's behavior even received condemnation from U.S. President Barack Obama, who had invited West to perform at the Youth Inaugural Ball in January.
TMZ later obtained audio of the comment.
"You know, it was like, she's getting an award and what are you butting in?
The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she's getting her award and what's he doing up there?
He's a jackass," said Obama.
The "off the air" comment forced ABC, whose news anchor Terry Moran leaked the information, to issue an apology after the Internet quickly "became abuzz over the stunning remark".
Additionally, West was criticized by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for the outburst.
The day following his outburst, West posted a second apology on his blog; he appeared on "The Jay Leno Show" later that night, where he delivered another apology to Swift which was met with cheers from the crowd.
"Dealing with the fact that I hurt someone or took anything away, you know, from a talented artist—or from anyone—because I only wanted to help people," he said.
"... My entire life, I've only wanted to do and give something that I felt was right and I immediately knew in this situation that it was wrong."
He became emotional, seemingly tearing up, when questioned by Leno about what his late mother would have thought of the incident.
Emil Wilbekin, managing editor of Essence.com, said West may have gone too far with his antics this time: "I think that it was not Kanye's place to speak for Beyoncé or to ruin Taylor Swift's moment...
It's OK for Kanye to rattle off about himself, but I think he crossed the line when he decided to speak for other people."
Ann Powers of the "Los Angeles Times" said that "from one vantage point, it was a case of chivalry gone horribly wrong" as West meant to "stand up for" Beyoncé.
She added that when Swift accepted Beyoncé's invitation to return to the stage, "The two women in a quick sisterly embrace, adding another layer of meaning to an already complicated moment.
Now this controversy was about women sticking up for each other, too.
"On September 15, 2009, two days after the outburst, Swift talked about the matter on "The View".
Asked what she was thinking the moment it happened, she stated:Well, I think my overall thought process was something like, 'Wow, I can't believe I won, this is awesome, don't trip and fall, I'm gonna get to thank the fans, this is so cool.
Oh, Kanye West is here.
Cool haircut.
What are you doing there?'
And then, 'Ouch.'
And then, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans.'
Swift described how she had to get over the shock quickly.
"You know, I'm not gonna say that I wasn't rattled by it," she said.
"But I had to perform live five minutes later, so I had to get myself back to the place where I could perform."
She said that West had not spoken to her following the incident.
Following Swift's appearance on "The View", West contacted her to apologize personally; Swift said she accepted his apology.
The night of the awards show, Swift became the first country music artist to win an MTV Video Music Award.
West's outburst resulted in an Internet meme which consisted of images of West being superimposed onto other images alongside text in the style of his VMA outburst ("X is one of the greatest Y of all time", or variants thereon, in some cases preceded by "I'm really happy for you" and/or "I'mma let you finish").
The incident was parodied at the 2009 Country Music Association Awards, in which after Swift won the award for Music Video of the Year, Carrie Underwood, who was hosting the awards with Brad Paisley, told Paisley that she thought his video for "Welcome to the Future" was a great video as well.
Paisley thanked her and then thanked his producers for the video, at which time singer Little Jimmy Dickens stepped on the stage and pushed Brad Paisley away from the microphone, saying, "Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, I'll let you finish later.
Now, Brad Paisley, I know you had a nice video and all that, but Taylor Swift had the best video of all time.
You go girl!"
Swift laughed in her seat.
Paisley then remarked, "What kind of security do we have if a 4'9" 88-year-old man gets by it?"
Earlier in the awards show, Underwood and Paisley's monologue was a duet paying tribute to the song "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", in which the first line was "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye".
Additionally, when Taylor Swift hosted "Saturday Night Live", one part of her monologue (which was done in the form of a song ostensibly about all the things that she was not going to talk about) included Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis as security men charged with preventing Kanye West from coming on stage.
She closed her monologue by saying "Kanye West is "not" here."
Additionally when Taylor Lautner, who then was rumored to be dating Swift, hosted SNL, in his monologue he beats up a cardboard cutout of West.
The incident is also referenced in Eminem's single "No Love", which he says "Man, get these whack cocksuckers off stage/where the fuck is Kanye when you need him?/Snatch the mic from 'em, bitch, I'mma let you finish in a minute, yeah/the rap was tight/But I'm 'bout to spit the greatest verse of all time".
In September 2010, West wrote a series of apologetic tweets addressed to Swift including "Beyonce didn't need that.
MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that" and concluding with "I'm sorry Taylor."
West also revealed he had written a song for Swift and if she did not accept the song, he would perform it himself.
Swift said that she received a call from the rapper and accepted.
She would respond in the form of a song, "Innocent" from her 2010 album, "Speak Now".
After the incident, West went into seclusion for months, before releasing new music in 2010.
Both artists are said to have benefited from the incident, both receiving commercial and critical acclaim for their 2010 albums, "Speak Now", and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".
At the 2010 VMAs later that month, Swift sang "Innocent", a song widely believed to be about West, which "The Washington Post" described as "a small masterpiece of passive aggressiveness, a vivisection dressed up as a peace offering".
Music critics found Swift's performance overly serious and "petty".
In October 2010, West remarked that it was "inaccurate" for Swift's "Fearless" to have been named Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards earlier that year.
Speaking in November 2010, West said he failed to see what was "so arrogant" about his VMA interruption and described his actions as "selfless".
He argued it was "just disrespectful" and "retarded" for Swift to be included in the same award category as Beyoncé.
He added that "if it was the other way around" and Swift were an established artist who had "made the video of her career, do you think she would have lost to a brand new artist?
Hell no!"
He claimed that his interruption caused Swift to "have 100 magazine covers and sell a million first week".
Also that month, he claimed that, "If I wasn't drunk, I would have been on stage longer ... Taylor never came to my defense at any interview.
And rode the waves and rode it and rode it".
At the Costume Institute Gala in May 2011, Swift and West came face-to-face on the red carpet.
West was observed to hold "a hand out, and the two exchanged a studiedly casual, "down low" high five".
Jay-Z further parodied the event when accepting the award for Video of the Year at the 2012 BET Awards for Otis.
He interrupted West during his portion of their joint acceptance speech by saying, "Excuse me Kanye I'mma let you continue but--", to which Kanye quipped in return, "I was trying to defend your girl man!"
In addition to the West controversy, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were performing "Empire State of Mind", but towards the end of their performance, Lil Mama jumped and danced on the stage uninvited.
She later issued an apology.

"White Horse" is a country music song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
The song was written by Swift and Liz Rose and produced by Nathan Chapman, with Swift's aid.
The song was released on December 8, 2008 by Big Machine Records, as the second single from Swift's second studio album "Fearless".
Swift and Rose composed the song about one of Swift's ex-boyfriends, when Swift discovered he was not what she had perceived of him.
It focused on the moment where Swift accepted the relationship was over.
"White Horse" is, musically, a country pop song and uses sparse production to emphasize vocals.
Lyrically, the track speaks of disillusionment and pain in a relationship, drawing references to fairytales.
Critically, "White Horse" garnered generally positive reception.
At the 2010 Grammy Awards, "White Horse" won the Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
The song also performed well commercially, although it did not duplicate the success of its predecessor, "Love Story".
In the United States, it peaked at number thirteen in the "Billboard" Hot 100 and number two on Hot Country Songs.
It was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy, who directed the majority of Swift's prior videos.
The video features Swift as she decides to end a relationship via phone call.
In the video, Swift recalls multiple memories with her love interest, both positive and negative.
Swift promoted "White Horse" via live performances, including numerous during the Fearless Tour (2009–10). 
"I Heart Question Mark" was released as promotional single from "Beautiful Eyes" on June 23, 2008.
Swift promoted "Beautiful Eyes" minimally for the reason being she did not want for misconceptions of the EP being her second album, although she did perform the title track at different venues.
She first performed "Beautiful Eyes" on January 23, 2005 at the 2005 NAMM Show, an annual music product trade show held in Anaheim, California at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The performance featured Swift, dressed in a red blouse and blue jeans, performing acoustically with a guitar, sitting on a bar stool.
"Beautiful Eyes" was later performed as part of Swift's set for Stripped on August 5, 2008; she wore a black, one-shoulder dress and performed with a back-up band while playing a rhinestoned acoustic guitar.
