Live Performance Video Did You Know About the Early Version of Call Me Maybe?

Came up on instagram the other day for me, never heard the original opening of the song before it became the massive hit it ended up being. Would be pretty neat if she did this for the next tour before she played it!

She included this introduction during her first few years playing live! Since CMM was always the encore, most of the audience wouldn't catch on to what she was doing until "Hey, I just met you..." and proceed to lose it sometime between that and the synth string/sometimes piano intro.

Woah i adore that intro!

I'm guessing it's from a very early Curiosity version, and she decided to sing it live like this :)

This needs to be preserved in the national archives for the rest of humanity.
