You can press ALT + T on your track in Mp3tag and check in the "extended Tags" window if you can see a tag named PEFORMER and his current content.

Or where exactly are you looking for PERFORMER?  
Do you want to show it in a [column](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/file-list/)?  
Do you want to show it in the [Tag panel](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/tag-panel/) (left side)?

Please see the FAQ:

>
> How to copy one field value to another field? Example how to copy the content of the ARTIST field to the ALBUMARTIST field: Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group or make a new action group. Action type: Format value Field: ALBUMARTIST Format string: %artist% Note: If you want to copy all possible values of a field (in case you have multiple artist fields), the internal scripting function [$meta\_sep](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting) can be used in the format string, e.g., $meta\_sep(artist,\\\\)

You have to type in that name - for MP3tag there is no standard field called Performer. You will create a user-defined field.

Note that PERFORMER is not a standard field in most media players on any platform. So this will be informational only in most cases, for your personal use.

I did say "most" 😀  
I use MB as well. The PERFORMER field is still a custom (not "standard") field and needs to be added for MB to scan and be able to use that info. Many other players don't have this flexibility, especially on any of the mobile platforms.

Just for the record:  
According to [psychoadept](https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=20699.msg122604#msg122604)'s answer in the MusicBee forum, the PERFORMER tag is technically a TXXX frame.

You can find the complete list of officially supported tags here:
