 Thereon, she and Chapman recorded and cut an abundance of songs to keep the best material on the album.Thirteen tracks were planned due to Swift's fondness for the number; she considers it to be her lucky number.To aid her in choosing the songs, Swift performed various new tracks – "Permanent Marker", "Missing You", "I'd Lie", "Sparks Fly", and "Fearless" – at the Gold Country Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 29 and 30, 2007; only the latter song was chosen for the album.
