Ryan Adams - All You Had To Do Was Stay (from '1989') (Official Audio)

[@xxEEVRxx]

It's almost unreal how good this is

[@nealorr5086]

I obviously need to have my ears checked.

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

It's real❤

[@alessandrovalzania2316]

Almost like how bad the original was compare to this when I went to check it 😂

[@dianejoysinger6534]

Ryan is just that good ❤

[@sarahdelgrosso1748]

I love the entire cover album. Totally feel Springsteen & The Breakfast Club vibes. You captured Taylor, and added your soul into the mix. Beautiful

[@juliacalcafuoco4036]

Omg I thought of The Breakfast Club too!! he took a song that didn't really have the 80s vibe imo and gave it what it was missing. I feel like he did that to a lot of the songs on her album. it's awesome.

I think he way outdoes Taylor

So Yrur...

[@beth_stalker8764]

the start of this reminds me of State of Grace, from the Red Album.

[@sargossgolek699]

The Goominator so overproduced, pity...

[@TSCB13]

You can play the songs with a simple acoustic treatment, and they're absolutely beautiful, but they're overdone to the point where most of the true emotion is lost, and EMOTION IS WHAT DRIVES TAYLOR'S MUSIC.

[@LowLifeDeeps]

+The Goominator I'm glad you put that last bit in capitals. I wouldn't have realised how intense that information is otherwise!

[@sargossgolek699]

Daryl Parkin u r very welcome.

[@MrSnappyJones]

I can't explain why I like this so much. He brings out the best in her music they should collaborate continuously

[@captainayaaya28]

This is probably my least favorite Taylor’s track 5 which has a reputation of being sad songs with amazing lyrics. The overkill production of the original sounds off and Ryan does a much better job. I still love the og it’s just not one of my favorite songs on the og 1989.

[@My.Dear.Journal]

This version does justice to the song

[@shazyboy227]

This is the original..

[@alexchung736]

@@shazyboy227 it isn't... it's a cover album of Taylor's

we will need “1989 (Ryan’s Version)” with the new vault tracks!!

[@ashleepometta6388]

Brilliant

[@Cjmac6614]

when i saw this album i was sceptical. i thought 'why would you?' then i listened to it. this is genius, gosh i love it. i grew up in the 80s and thought it had a very 80s vibe. best era for music. thrilled i found this album!

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Never underestimate RA ever again ❤

[@Maiden_to_mother]

God this is so good. Taylor’s version just always fell flat for me. THIS.. is an amazing spin on it. All the credit goes to Taylor for writing this song, and it’s beautiful. But Ryan brought this to life and I was able to really feel the song, like really feel it

[@Maria-nz6tc]

This is incredible! I just don't like the people on here insulting Taylor Swift, I mean this is her song. In love with both versions!

[@alastairbrewster4274]

She didn’t write these songs she has a team of writers she works with. It’s a good song but Ryan elevates it massively.

[@FellDownTheCornHole]

@@alastairbrewster4274 she did write the songs. She writes most of her lyrics most of the writers she works with usually modify the lyrics to either make the songs shorter/Longer/ or to just delete filler on the occasion that they do write lyrics it’s usually 2-7 lines Max. And Ryan’s version is meh he takes away all the fun out of the originals and makes them these average indie shit trying to capture and 80s sound that doesn’t fit his voice. The production overpowers his voice and tbh his versions make the songs so underwhelming and too ambitious especially considering Ryan’s voice isn’t anything special it’s just the average indie boy in high school who thought they could have a career despite millions sounding exactly like him. His versions have no charm, fun basically takes out everything that makes the originals good and makes them mid not bad not incredible just average

[@basstrammel1322]

@@FellDownTheCornHole Agreed. This mush took all the fun outta it.

[@Scrubbini]

@@basstrammel1322 it's just his interpretation of the song.

[@crishd92]

@@alastairbrewster4274 oh, she writes all her songs, entire “Speak now “ and rest usually alone. So don’t disrespect her. Ryan’s work is beautiful btw.

Now Ryan needs to cover "Anti-Hero." Make it happen, please.

[@INFJ2]

Love this. On repeat per usual w Ryan Adams

[@dspell13]

It won 3 Grammys (i mean Tay, in case you didnt get that this was a cover album)

I can't get enough of this version of this song. The obsession continues. 💟🙌🏻

How the hell does this have 300+ dislikes. Unbelievable Ryan could throw together a cover of the biggest pop stars biggest album and make it so good and so Ryan Adams

[@bobgenghiskhan2499]

I didn't even know this was a Taylor Swift song. It just came on a playlist and I loved it.

[@larryscott9583]

This and Out of the Woods are the two best songs he covers (IMO). He just takes them to a completely other level.

[@isayalcantaragonzalez2488]

OMG!! I CAN'T BREATHE!! MY FAVORITE SONGG

He was lamenting losing his wife, Mandy Moore, to divorce.

Yeah, yeah, I'm digging this... Road trippin', summer vacationing, John Hughes montage-ing, singing along out loud in Cameron's dads Vette... awesome cover - go Ryan go!

I feel like this should be played at the end of an 80's movie. Just imagine end credits rolling 👌🏼

[@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS]

damn if I got a dollar for everytime I hit the replay button I'd be a millionaire this song is so amazing.

[@lgravelle4182]

This song reminds me of something that should've been repped in some awesome, cliche, yet underrated nostalgic movie from the 80's. I love it.

[@nance6930]

The only version I know, haunting.

i can't believe taylor covered this

Ryan Adams and Taylor Swift are both virtuosos within in thier own unique fabric of the music world. This is just pure gold in the making.

[@melodii8377]

People are comenting 'this is my favorite song from 1989 and i like it even more now!' And here I am thinking this song and I Wish You Would are my least favorites from 1989 and now they're my favorites...

[@moviesforadults2626]

Because, Scott...it's ass-kissing at its finest. People want to hear original songs. Sure, covering another artist's work is not a crime. What IS a crime is ass-kissing. The album is a waste of time. He is a talented musician who invested too much time doing someone else's music. Neither of them need the help of eachother unless they are looking to hook up. Uh-oh! Maybe?

[@ceili]

I’ve never even heard Taylor’s version but this is a cracking song

[@ZorroVenonoso]

He definitely delivers some high energy on this one. I'd like to see him work w the Gaslight Anthem.

[@johnnycarroll6346]

Brian Fallon is what wld happen if Springsteen and Ryan Adams cld make a baby! He’s the best songwriter since Springsteen and brings emotion to the song like Ryan Adams I’ve been a ryan Adams fan since I bought the first whiskeytown album when it came out!

[@ΞενοςΑγγελος]

Simply as Beautiful as a simple pop song should ever be.

[@violeteireen4605]

It's funny because it's all related to the music. so many people are here saying this is so much better than the original,same people who hate on taylor swift. but she did wrote this. Ryan was amazing in re-arranging the music,but the words,he didn't change them. It's so funny how you so many people hate on taylor just for the pop/catchy songs without even try to read her songs. judging a book by its cover much?
