Taylor Swift - I Did Something Bad (Cover) | By Shoshana Bean and Cynthia Erivo

[@jacksonaucoin6028]

Watching this after seeing Wicked in theaters and Cynthia singing “they’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one” is so iconic.

[@christianaunderwood]

I have been loving this cover for years! What a good catch!

[@zarashnz]

And what's insane is Shosana Bean played Elphaba on broadway in 2004 sitting next to Cynthia who played it 20 years later!!!!

[@melindamercier6811]

Yess it me rn 💚

[@DizzyCarrots]

Shoshana played Elphaba on broadway

[@markchatman2606]

Knowing that they've BOTH been Elphaba and singing about burning the witches is iconic on top of the fact that they're both AMAZING SINGERS

No one is mentioning the two incredible women, who are playing the instruments. So i am going to do it. Amazing 😇

Agreed.

[@Trayk.tray01]

xnh 001 they are marvelous

[@AdeTells]

They sound awesome. But I absolutely love how unbothered they are. Sitting there like 'Yes bitch, indeed I did something bad. What youre gonna do about it?'

[@MyCrimsonMischief]

@Skeptics we love you anyway that was my interpretation of this song. what I got from it is the songwriter is saying "you said I did something bad and so what? I'm standing in my shit. I would do it again. What are you going to do about it? nothing" . What I got from the song is that the person doesn't believe what they did is bad and they don't feel any guilt over it and they would do it again.

[@lashondascrews2484]

Play with it

[@AmberSweetPea]

That's Broadway for you!!! The home of the absolute Queens and Kings of using sense memory to emote a song like no other!!! SO fucking beautiful to watch!

[@lucianomelo5597]

Omg I laughed really hard with your comment now hahhhah yeah I did something bad, so what?

[@jennmelin7942]

It’s been YEARS, and I have not stopped talking about this incredible performance. When I think about where I was and the country was when this came out I can’t believe something hit so hard and did not take the internet by storm. It’s 2024, in a lot of ways we are returning to witching times for women. In honor of Cynthia’s performance in the movie version of Wicked, in honor of Taylor’s triumphant Era’s Tour ending and hopefully soon reclaiming all her music as her own, in honor of struggle and perseverance let’s make this get the attention it has always deserved.

[@LeelastMardina]

OMG OMG! The drama without doing much! That stare, cold and unapologetic. The powerful vocal yet compliments each other. That sharp contours that can kill. Not forgetting the two awesome musicians accompanying throughout the video.

[@user-yj5dc3jz8h]

their doing that to to fit the mood of the song that Taylor made it

[@cbk532]

Fadly Mardina their harmonies - literal diamonds - so sharp and en pointe . Love these artists. I am not a fan of you he original, but that doesn’t matter as they’ve made it their own 💖

[@patrickjames268]

Let us not forget that these are both broadway legends.

[@nothinggoodstartsinagetawa1510]

the magic of B R O A D W A Y

[@Ameliamaemay1990]

@@user-yj5dc3jz8h they took that mood and upped it imo by not moving. Taylor needs to move on stage to see everyone and such. But here they can just stare you down and it feels like they’re about to kill me and I’m ok with it. Also, props to Taylor for writing a badass song!

[@blondambition1223]

I can tell by their contour they mean business.

I'm running out of wigs I've watched this so many times. Snatched every time. The ACTING. The way Shoshanna SMILES when Cynthia RIFFS. The INTENSITY of that final chorus ALL OF IT. A MASTERPIECE.

[@jbuehler00]

Ok, it's official. Cynthia sounds good with everyone. I She's got one of those one in a million voices with a melty tone that just blends so well. She's so gifted.

[@beatrizmari4975]

It seems that people only understand Taylor Swift' songs when someone else makes covers of them. EDIT 2024. Note for the haters: She has already won. This was 5 years ago, and the world sees her in a completely different way now. Good for her.

[@kbwrr2400]

Beatriz Mari that's when they realize she's an amazing songwriter.

[@afrinsayed5902]

Taylor is right, bad reputation is real.

[@mridulikaa]

So true

[@sceneandseenful]

This is one scary angst-filled number by Taylor

[@milaroberts2961]

reputation was so underrated it's sad. the singles may not have been the best but there were some real gems on the album

[@divogalindra9821]

First of all, their expressions are priceless

[@nalanickole930]

[@osahju914]

[@anastaciaclarke7236]

Cynthia and Shoshana have been killing it on Broadway for years. Singing LIVE 8 times a week. Happy that more of the world is discovering their talent. They're so talented this is amazing!

[@kmallory100]

And now Cynthia is in a film with Viola Davis!

[@Greg-fs2rh]

Cynthia has only done 1 show on Broadway. Shoshana has been doing it for years though.

[@carrot1269]

its been mentioned how this reveals Swift's brilliant songwriting but just those lines "They're burning the witches even if you aren't one... so light me up" gave me chills.

[@Julesb2183]

Even if the verses say she actually acted like a witch 😄

[@stormvexed]

This doesn't reveal it It's celebrates it The original song reveals it. If you don't hate Taylor Swift for no reason you can actually appreciate her music

[@KeithLOONAtic]

and now she's the wicked witch of the west this is some insane happenstance 😭

[@feliciajosephinejimenez5893]

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

HaveFaith33458, the choreographers are ... simmering away, I can't wait.

[@KevinMAbraham]

The attitude made this cover really good.. it's like theyre all wearing black, theyre attending their husbands funeral but knowing they actually killed em, so they attend the funeral so no one suspect a thing.. if men talk shit then they owe him nothing, and they dont regret it one bit cause their husbands saw it coming

[@sahib5]

All FOUR of those ladies are fierce. They killed it on the strings!

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Sahib5 I was totally mesmerized by Cynthia & Shoshana, but you are right those two ladies SMOKED the strings right off those instruments. Please forgive me for ... my oversight.

[@lalala2078]

I think Shoshana and Cynthia just stared and sang into my soul 😳

[@CosmeticCosmos420]

Those subtle head nods when they hit some of the higher notes gives me life, the professionalism in this video is top notch

[@jbuehler00]

whoa... the matching/complimentary vibratos, glissandos, riffs, etc made my brain tickle in the best way.... then hitting that grace note at 2:46 in unison was so gorgeous. I'm just discovering this now since my algorithm is giving me all of Cynthia (which I'm LOVING) and I have had to stop and rewind this video so many times. I am a TS fan, so why did it take me 7 years to get this recommendation?!!!! You can tell they rehearsed this piece to perfection. Bar by bar, note by note, breath by breath. Even matching glottal stops and register changes. This performance and arrangement changed me.

[@milaroberts2961]

There's a reason why Taylor tweeted this. These two women are extremely accomplished in music and theater. Erivo is a Tony award winning actress for goodness sake. It makes me sad that some Taylor fans think these are just two people doing a cover.
