The layers of guitar on the studio version are sublime and not really possible live because Lindsey has to pick ONE guitar to play live versus playing all the guitar parts in the studio.
The Dance version is a bit too sledgehammer-y for me compared to the studio version.

I feel the opposite. To my ears, her vocals on the the original/studio version sound shaky and immature. Her vocals on THE DANCE version are, I think, glorious. There, she approaches the song with the wisdom and gravity it requires. What was once a charming yet somewhat precious song with country-pop underpinnings became a cathartic, forceful, show-stopping ballad. She owned that song and that performance. A triumph.
