[@ricoshea2]

I'm not a Taylor Swift fan, my daughter is. I'm big on Ryan Adams though. His treatment shows me that Swift can write! Even more cool, my daughter and I have another way to connect and understand each other. Nothing wrong there. So cool!

[@2Orangess]

That's heartwarming to read, being a TS fan and, especially being a daughter of an absent father. A simple gesture like this would have made my world; your daughter is lucky to have you.

[@ricoshea2]

Thank you and I hope you are thriving! @@2Orangess

Yes, and conversely I have been playing this for my summer camp kids who are team Taylor and they are discovering Ryan! 💕

This is just another reason why ryan Adams is an incredibly versatile artist

[@willisben32]

I wish Ryan would have done Carrie Underwood's " smoke break " and he could have changed the words to " Don't smoke " as Carrie is a Moron for trying to get people to start smoking :)

[@baconsmith1]

+willisben32 .... Why would Ryan do a cover of a FLOP song { smoke break }... #43 on the hot 100 and from a B rated music act Carrie Underwood? .... Taylor Swift is the only artist worthy of his covers as Taylor is the worlds biggest music star !!!!

[@babysgottalocomotive]

+willisben32 I wish Ryan would have done Carrie Underwood's "Smoke Break " and he could have changed the words to "Smoke More" cos Ryan smokes and loves it.

[@katrinagriffo2224]

[@bogdan2805]

I'm ashamed to say I didn't know who Ryan was before his announcement of covering 1989; this version is just hypnotizing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a whole Ryan Adams discography to catch up on.

[@jamesbresnahan8652]

[@SuperSizedScott]

Would be fascinated to find out if you did the Ryan Adams deep dive and if you enjoyed his material.

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Good decision...pay no ATTN to the current media witchhunt just the music

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

3 yrs ago huh.....bet you're a fan now huh lol

[@wendyraye]

@Bogdan M. He’s so underrated. I first heard “everybody knows” and fell in love.

[@chasinghappyxo]

this is why I love Ryan Adams. ever since that day in 2004 when my uncle gave me the Cold Roses CDs, I've followed his music and loved everything I had found. truly incredible. got me through the worst times of my life

[@RevenantEternal]

love how he gave the ending the Wonderwall treatment. Another solid cover by Ryan.

[@DJoy221]

He makes all her songs actually sound good

[@andeebambi137]

+Dee Joy they already did sound good.

[@jenniferavery7798]

+Dee Joy BambooBambi: Perhaps, but he took something packaged and engineered and gave it some musical depth. Real instruments can do amazing things for a piece of music.

[@ReadAllDay]

+Jennifer Avery I agree. I don't want to be a T Swift hater, but Bad Blood in its original TS form just isn't a good song. This version is excellent.

[@andeebambi137]

I agree that this song is excellent, but the original (and I'm talking about the album version) has lyrical depth and does sound good. You can say you don't like it, but not that it's not a good song. It has great lyrics, it has an aggressive beat and it's catchy. Just because it's not made by "real instruments" it doesn't mean it's a bad song. Come on

[@evileep]

+Jennifer Avery But what are real instruments? Is a organ a real instrument? If so a synthesiser is a real instrument, they both have oscillators and filters.

[@lachd2261]

Ryan Adams is a misunderstood genius and this proves it. Brilliant

[@aarond23]

I don't think he's misunderstood at all...his songs are out there and loved by many

[@AlanStone]

He can make almost any song sound amazing, has to be one of the most underrated artists around.

[@nightmarebeachdotnet]

I love how he took someone else's songs and still made them sound so personal to him. You can always hear the emotion in Ryan's voice and it didn't change on this album and that was one of the things I was worried about. Cheers, Ryan Adams.

[@warrenbutterfield4208]

Amen

[@blakelagrangetv]

One of the most prolific songwriters of our generation. So much so that he can record and cover a whole pop album in 2 weeks. Well done.

[@Uploads-su7vl]

I mean Taylor was the writer on all these songs…

[@EmilyMayTheBookGeek]

I think it's a shame that some people feel the need to pit the original and the cover against one another. They are both excellent in their own way, telling the same story but exploring it with different tone and emotion.

[@formtheavocado8834]

+Emily May (The Book Geek) omg preach

[@MarrowChiller]

+Emily May (The Book Geek) The problem is that it's comparing apples to apples. Because it is a cover of a song by another artist, you *can* compare the two versions directly. And just because someone did a song first, doesn't mean it's the definitive version. My favorite example is Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. He owns the song, from beginning to finish, with a certain kind of honesty shinning through the whole thing. Much like this cover. Taylor's performance is so slick, that any kind of tone like that is completely lost. Also, the guitar that is played throughout the whole track makes the song more musically interesting, rather than relying completely on the strength of the vocals. Which are seriously hampered by the fact that the radio edit cuts out all of the rap lyrics for some reason, at least in my area.

[@orishveiky9813]

You are so right Also, unrelated but I think I see on goodreads all the time...

[@prettyreckless2700]

+Emily May (The Book Geek) hey its you! I've read a lot of your reviews on goodreads lol its a small internet world haha =)

[@EmilyMayTheBookGeek]

+prettyreckless2700 Haha, it sure is XD

[@Mezbourian]

I think Ryan knows good songwriting when he hears it. I don't listen to Taylor, but the woman can definitely write a pop hook. It's possible to appreciate musical talent without being moved by it emotionally. Taylor gets a bad rap for being pop and popular, but she can crank out the ear worms, and that's a talent.

[@hunterwoodward177]

I seriously love both versions. Everyone stop being a hipster and just realize that its music and we can like both.

[@jasonsisk61]

Best cover on the record. Really made it his own. Love the simplicity and emotion of the intro.

[@frankguevara]

i don't understand the people bagging on taylor swift. if you're a fan of music, you're a fan of taylor swift. you just haven't realized it yet.

[@michellesupport89]

+frankguevara Exactly!

[@TheYeltzman]

I've always quite liked Taylor Swift. After listening to Ryan Adams cover versions it's pretty clear she can write many quality tunes. There's nothing to dislike unless you're a bitter soul.

[@wordsbydhaval]

Ryan Adams is a magician and can make hauntingly beautiful music. Love you bro.

[@Ehh97]

I work at a coffee shop and I heard this song for the first time today. I didn't realize what it was until he started singing the main part. XD

[@randomjackson574]

taylor went batshit crazy when she found out he was covering her album. shes a huge fan, and wouldnt you be?

[@mihguell9474]

still I can't belive that I found out about this masterpiece 7 years later on. loved the way he emphasizes how good taylor is as a songwriter in these versions

[@warrenbutterfield4208]

He’s the real deal. Always was. She sings like a teenager… Unfortunately he acts like one… He’s the better artist though. Go enjoy his catalog it’s pretty well dynamite. He’s doing a solo tour now. After taking some heavy criticism and canceling over some personal stuff. Perhaps he’s maturing a bit now, always delivers in concert though. Not quite sure how that behavior concerns people or effects their opinion of a song or music.. Don’t spend money on things you don’t seriously believe in. If I made my decisions based on every musicians juvenile politics, I’ll probably have a bout three albums in my collection. I’ve got thousands… It’s the music.

[@thewhyofthings8450]

I’m born in 2001 and i didn’t know this existed but i love this version

[@adifferentkindofstrange535]

Ryan Adams is the legend!

[@jamiemick2721]

This is my favorite of all the 1989 covers. If you go see Ryan Adams live, you get to hear his covers of Tv theme songs.

[@johnnyboycarter]

He never stops amazing me ....Goose bumbs and the hair is standing up .............Love it

[@stevengaryballmoonbugmusic5455]

look there's no need to have a one sided view of this song. they're both terrific versions of a terrific song. I'm a professional guitarist and musician, Taylor swift is a true inspiration and authentic artist and songwriter and believe me Ryan Adams is one of her biggest admirers as she is of him. there are very few artists past or present that are on her level. professional musicians like myself pay absolutely no attention to negative opinions of anyone who knows absolutely nothing about music. music comes down to a matter of taste like everything else. industry music professionals know Taylor swift, her success comes down to talent and intelligence and hard work. not record label promotion.

[@vpodru2]

[@SarahIlayda]

This is such a good cover of the album. Taylor is a really good songwriter, she should do an acoustic version of this song.

[@henryfranken2589]

This recording really makes me appreciate the amazing song writing

[@lorismith4895]

Taylor is an admitted fan of Ryans and reported she was excited about this. Ryan loves music and is just a creative guy who does not appear to just want commercial success. This is a compliment.. nothing more!

[@ssmessia]

I cannot say exactly how much I love this, except by saying exactly what I just said .

[@andeebambi137]

This is brilliant. MAD LOVE for this.

[@cypoole]

This cover is really good. I listened to his entire cover album of 1989, it was amazing. I love T. Swift and it was awesome to hear her music in a new sound like this. Ryan Adams is so creative in his covers, its one of the only cover albums I would buy.

[@lboygrace]

Taylor needs to return the favor and cover Come Pick Me Up

[@kddbb]

yes! she needs to do a ryan adams cover album!

[@RedShipsofSpainAgain]

+Andy Seife That would be so stellar! Would love to hear Taylor cover Come Pick Me Up

[@Marianne475]

Yes!!!

[@michellesupport89]

+Andy Seife She needs to cover his best song. "Oh My Sweet Carolina"

[@minxymoo2325]

+Andy Seife She never asked him to cover her album and either way and she promoted his album on all her social media and probably made him 90% of the money he got from this album so she already returned his "favor." And you know she did write the album too so I think she gave him all she had to.

[@Squiggy2010]

It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I..

[@selenarose6807]

Love love love. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

[@Marianne475]

This is the moment when I'm grateful for being fan of both of them so I can appreciate this lovechild of theirs. I hope Ryan is loved by more people with this set of covers.

[@warrenbutterfield4208]

He nails it and did it quickly…

[@stephenp4285]

I heard this song at work, when a different compiler managed corporate's playlist (the music at work is now streamed, no longer on a commercial satellite radio). And honestly, I thought Taylor Swift was covering Ryan, that's just how good this cover is!

[@brynmcdougal8915]

Hey, now this song is enjoyable. It's like a dash of Taylor Swift, a whirl of Bob Dylan, a smidge of Neil Young meets Keane, and a heap of actual soul!

[@derrickyee3056]

+Bryn McDougal I can hear a lot of Wonderwall/Oasis/DRA in this song

[@xninjagrrl]

+Bryn McDougal ...Keane??

i love Ryan Adams, and this made me love Taylor Swift. i doubt i would even noticed her without him.

[@larryjordan9587]

OMG!!!!! I totally agree!!!

[@larryjordan9587]

This is just amazing!!! Its a true testament to how Ryan Adams transforms a song. I never would have known how great these lyrics were if I hadn't heard this version. Nothing against TS at all. She has a few other songs that I really like, but Ryan's versions speak to me more.

[@ravinhoodlum]

I just cant wait for the release of the full album!!!!! Sep21 come here fast!!!

[@krystalcalverley9122]

This is one of my favorite covers of this song. Amazing job!!

[@alannabrodeur4607]

There is something about Ryan Adams' music that is like an arm outstretched, grasping to grab on and tug at your soul strings. I have been saying for months how I do not enjoy this Taylor Swift song (and I am a T-Swift fan), but apparently I do..... as long as Ryan Adams is singing it!

[@matthewpeterkinaikuruyamot8743]

Ryan Adams is the greatest and the best, and so as Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar they are also the ultimate and incredible, I love both versions of Bad Blood.

[@Sharksteak_]

The background picture fits this song perfectly.

[@RJReda]

It's about time Ryan Adams got the respect, adoration and publicity he so rightfully deserves...he's been putting out phenomenal music for years. One can only hope that Taylor Swift seek out his back catalog and sink their teeth into it...he is a songwriter's songwriter.

[@ibliveinme]

+R. J. Reda She has, she's been a fan of his for years.

[@MultiFreddy34]

I think he has received plenty of recognition in the industry. How would you have found his TS covers otherwise?

[@ibliveinme]

I'm sorry, your previous comment said you hoped Taylor would sink her teeth into his back catalog....I was just saying that she has, and they been admirers of each others music for quite a while now. they even wrote an unreleased song together a while ago. (Sidenote: Also, didn't your previous comment imply that he HASN'T received enough recognition?) Anyway, as a huge fan of both artists, I'm so glad that this happened. :)

[@teonnakitchens4740]

The best cover I have ever heard in my life!!!!

[@matthewpeterkinaikuruyamot8743]

Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and now I listen to this music, by Ryan Adams the music is getting better and better, I love all of it.

[@JedF2010]

Occasionally I find song that I just have to play time and again....this is one of them. I love his voice, the rhythm and the guitars. I can sit with my headphones in and feel the music. Wonderful wonderful music! Thanks you for giving me that rare feeling of musical pleasure. Full marks for Taylor Swift for the EXCELLENT lyrics too.

[@michlkwitz]

This, to me, showcases the fact that Taylor Swift is actually a pretty damn fine songwriter. Once you strip away the overblown production on her versions, the song shines all on its own.

[@danielpatternson6149]

The production might be "overblown" but at least the songs on her album don't use the exact same bland arrangement

[@rebeccamorales9617]

Heard this on the radio today. Ive never heard of you before but wow I love your style. You are amazing! Your voice is incredible.

[@feyreyes]

Waited too long for listening this complete. IT SOUNDS SOOOO GOOD! Nice version.. Can't wait to listen the whole album! ❤️❤️❤️

[@waynewhiteside]

I finally understood the lyrics. Great song and a great cover.

[@Kazakor]

I am ashamed to think I dismissed Taylor Swift as a musical lightweight simply because she is a beautiful popstar. This song, which I always thought was Ryan's, is pure genius. I am a convert. Miss Swift, please accept my humblest apologies. I was as wrong about you as a man can be.

[@user-tx7rr7xe4m]

@@curragh4635she does have co-writers sometimes, but a lot of times she is the solo writer of her songs. She wrote her album Speak now entirely by herself

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

You were right, because SHE DIDNT WRITE IT, I DID and got it from Ryan Adams who got it from my portfolio and arranged it for her before selling it to Swift so she could shake her ass to it and pretend she did anything more

[@paulseguna7210]

Most everything he touches is gold. He somehow manages to make all his covers mean so much more than the original artist intended.

[@alanamcconnell2977]

I prefer this version. Ryan Adam's is a legend

[@TheAnnaBeat]

I like the original version and this one. Just because someone doesn’t share your idea of “good taste” doesn’t mean their opinion is bad. Music styles cycle in and out of popularity, and of course you’re going to think what you listened to in your youth is better but that doesn’t mean what comes out today is bad.

[@danielpatternson6149]

facts. so nice someone realizes this

[@JavierRivera-wn3in]

I Think People Need To just appreciate music. Just Because Ryan Adams Sings it differently Does not change the meaning of the song. The song has the same meaning as when Taylor Swift wrote it. changing the style of the song to make a genre change for fans does not change the meaning of the original version at all.

[@queenmother123]

I honestly like this version better...

[@JeffArchuleta]

+Amina Harris Me too. The lyrics seem more meaningful and heartfelt in this version, and really convey the pain of a relationship gone bad.

[@minxymoo2325]

+Jeff Archuleta Taylor's wasn't supposed to show pain. It was supposed to make her "friend" that she lost feel bad for betraying her.

[@AriantrLamp]

+Minxy Moo She didnt betray her. its not her fault if Taylor is fucking sensitive and writes a song 'bout everyone who dont praise her. and the dancers were on Katy's tour first. she took a break and when she called them up, they decided to come back with her for some reasons

[@SmarchitectMann]

Amina Harris I was just thinking the same thing. Heard this version on the radio and thought that this must be the original

[@beachngurl]

[@ActualKaktus]

Ryan Adams is freakin’ Gold.

[@frankie8991]

This guy is just great no matter who he covers.

[@robgraff6591]

It's so funny how people say "NOW it's a good song", "This is REAL music." It's the exact same song. And it was still written by Taylor Swift. But now that it sounds like indie music, the song suddenly has cred? Not that anyone has to like Taylor Swift, but what a blind, boring, dependent way to pick your music.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

+Rob Graff If anything it should prove to people that Taylor Swift wrote a really good song even if her style of music is not to their tastes.. There's room at the music table for everyone.

[@robgraff6591]

+Balooba Well, he co-wrote it with Taylor Swift. Point being, it's the same song.

[@ashalily5]

+Rob Graff lol I agree but thats peoples perception of music in general. If its not written and sung by someone indie-ish or someone with a hip-hop background then its not "real" music.

[@EllenRCox]

+Rob Graff I always think the test of a song is in its ability to be re-arranged and re-presented. I'm not a fan of the original arrangement, but critically I still think its a solid song, not amazing, but solid. My taste is more to the Indie side and so I do prefer Ryan's interpretation. I'm not a snob about it though - I haven't heard it yet but Shake it Off was in my mind the perfect pop song and changed my mind about Taylor, so I'm keen to see how that has worked out. But you're right it's the same song and therefore it remains solidly written - lyrically and musically. Side note, I've always found BBC's Live Lounge is always great for getting you to hear a song in another light.

[@robgraff6591]

***** He did it in a style you prefer. I just don't understand how a song that's about the exact same thing, written by the exact same person is automatically better just because it's acoustic. If they turned "Anaconda" into a candle-lit piano ballad, would it not be about butts anymore?

[@okrajoe]

[@JamesStaubes]

This is all about those arpeggios.

[@alfredpackery1]

They make the song. ❤

[@MaChao2]

Good ear, I love how they mimic the synth sounds in TS version in a manner that's a little bit different sonically [not too much, the tempo is the same but I doubt they match note for note] but still on beat and with proper direction, and most of all equally *OR MORE* (hush!) pleasing to the ear. As a former resident of NC I know all about the musical virtuosity and talent of Ryan Adams As a member of the Swift generation I watched her crossover and meteoric rise to that of a superstar, while putting out music that managed to be continually relevant without preaching or over-sexualising, complex and challenging without being cold or disengaged, mass appeal-ready without being soulless or spiritually narrow-minded... shes become a #1 artist without losing her core self and I think someone like Ryan can appreciate the music that tells that story of threading the needle of fame,success, and subsequent consequences and pressures on a person, especially someone who is truly gifted and (musically) talented, and how their art becomes reactionary and their lives become a more complicated animal that can sometimes drive them to both that great artistic moment as well as periods of isolation and sadness, confusion in the navigation of the 'game' (as it were) and overall battles to not lose themselves and the world they love to the fame and fortune. It's a commonly told tale but very special when a great songwriter can speak it into life in a new and exciting fashion.... Ryan, during a tumultuous period in his own life, found meaning and camaraderie in a place most wouldn't have expected him to; but like TS, he is always subverting and hurdling over expectations in his career. There is no finer example of it than this album. I love and revere it, and it definitely turned me on to Taylors music that was likely impossible without him. Praise to both artists for a work that is going to go down as a classic

[@aginghipster4954]

+MJKmedia have you heard of PostModern Jukebox? They're also a good bet.

The thing is, if Taylor had sung her songs like this, she never would have made the millions and had the screaming young milennials buying her albums.

[@winifredburkled]

thats a no. she still sold millions of copies of fearless and speak now, had sold out tours, billboard hits, and won grammys for them despite singing her songs like this lmao. sis is amazing/talented/popular regardless of how she sings her songs.

[@jennam2449]

@@winifredburkled no, she has never arranged her songs like this. Her country albums sound nothing like this.

[@winifredburkled]

... obviously it isnt 100% the same but never and nothing are very strong and inaccurate words to use in this case. she was acoustic/country so she absolutely has sounded like this in the past, especially in live performances which she sold out. I would argue that many songs on speak now were similarly arranged and that the instrumentals of innocent sound pretty similar to this. and my girl still outsold most artists. also as someone who has been a part of 4 music departments over the past 12 years pretty sure I know what I'm saying

[@jennam2449]

@@winifredburkled country and acoustic is not the same genre. This genre is certainly not country. What the commenter meant to say I think is that this pop album if arranged the way Ryan Adams has done it instead of being pop would not have been as successful because pop is what sells. That's all. I don't think he was trying to put down your Taylor. Most of these comments on here are about people enjoying this reimagining of her album even if they didn't like her music before hearing this. But it shows us what great writing she actually did.

[@winifredburkled]

You're completely misinterpreting what I said. I said she was country/acoustic meaning she was literally both not that they're the same thing. SN Tour Album is LITERALLY THIS but even more raw and acoustic than Ryan's work. Her earlier work was predominantly acoustic but it was still "as successful". Most of Taylor's acoustic music especially on SN has still surpassed most pop music on the charts. I'm not saying Ryan "put down my Taylor." I'm not even referring to Ryan. I'm responding to the comment about her earlier work which was absolutely produced the same way Ryan Adams did and was STILL outselling pop despite being mainly acoustic. It's a response to this person's comment that Taylor's music wouldn't sell if it was produced like this. It has, and it did.

Jennifer Avery it just strange, he can make his own music.. taylor is amazing artist and I just dont see the point thats all

[@ReadAllDay]

+Anny Lane Styles Ryan always does goofy stuff. He has been making amazing music since the 90's, and his original songs and albums are brilliant. But why not remake Taylor when he can do it better?

[@kid.tigrrr]

+Anny Lane Styles I think it's part cross-marketing for both of them- the association with her will put him in front of new eyes that never looked past mainstream pop, and it might make some people that have only see her as a pop-star puppet respect her as a song-writer. .. and also the fact that it doesn't really make sense is just perfectly Ryan.

[@AnnyLaneStyles]

Jenna Fournier good point. now it makes more sense, thanks x

[@martyREq2]

simply the best

[@boukjemulder1017]

I love this version! Ryan did a great job to cover this song! ❤💙

[@oilersgirl3]

So so good! I'm a HUGE T-Swift fan but this cover gives the song a whole new life! Really well done. The band did an amazing job instrumentally. Would love to see a live rendition!

He can write, sing, play and produce far better than most… Ignore the cancel creeps…

Drive from Carmel to Morrow with this playing in your midlife crisis convertible, and your wife of 20 years along side.

North Sea Brent sounds like a taste of heaven

[@christinewallner502]

Seriously Ryan Adams, therevis no way to say tobeven TS how good you, true u, nade this song sound, happy 2023

[@christinewallner502]

Sorry I had a couple of new year drinks tonight Ryan Adams I've listened to the song More Than 5 years Taylor Swift is a genius songwriter but the way you sing the song hurts like the way she wrote it to hurt

[@William_Stephens]

This song always makes me imagine traveling to some place and riding across a big city bridge on a sunny day looking at the water and the cityscape in the near distance

[@liljgoneman9765]

There is nothing this man can't do. It's a travesty that he isn't more well known but, I think it's because corporate radio can't pigeonhole him. Too country for rock radio, too rock for country radio.

[@liljgoneman9765]

Jack Panzarella I know what you're sayin, Jack. It's kind of like having our own little musical secret but still, the kid DESERVES to be world famous. I dunno 'bout you but I really dig turnin people on to him if they've never heard of him. :)

[@iamkieranm]

Good news: it is on the playlist on Radio X on UK national digital radio!

[@genesis1177]

I like both versions but I have to say I love Ryan's a LOT better. Something COOL and effortless about the way he performed this. Music was mesmerizingly beautiful. Always better when a singer is sincere about what he's saying because it comes through. Ryan Rocks.

[@h.4333]

i love this

[@davebbarber7050]

so good when a cover is better than the original cool.

[@alucardmorningstar2296]

daveb barber that’s subjective, understand you though.

[@HansVandeWerf]

speakers loud, crack a beer...

[@Heppellos]

I thought Adams was back on form when I heard this- didn't realise it was songs Taylor Swift had written- hats off to her she's a great songwriter.

[@suzannehuang]

I love this!! 薑還是老的辣~
