damn this is good... I love new Taylor, but I miss the old Taylor too... RIP.

I did also see that she's going to be featured on the new Sugarland album!

 

she's taken a ton of heat, and it's definitely not as good as the original, but i like it

 

Yeah people are overreacting to this. This cover is fine but even if it was a train wreck, who cares? Same thing with the whole “no one can cover Beatles song” mentality. If you don’t like it, don’t listen to it. It takes too much energy to hate things like that lol.

 

Maurice White didn't die for this.

 

nah

 

This means absolutely nothing but all I can think of now is that EW&F were the ones who presented the Grammy for AOTY that Taylor won

 

This is fantastic. Nothing beats the original but I like hearing old sounding Taylor. A fine cover

 

I don’t know why she’s getting so much grief over this. Sounds great to me.

Was that written by a tumblr-obsessed 12 year old girl that's still upset about Fifth Harmony breaking up? Dramatic AF

 

interesting take on an amazing song.

i always appreciate reworked covers, could've made the beat more interesting/exciting.

 

oh yeah, i definitely did not post it with the intention of promoting thought-provoking dialogue, i just found it kinda funny

 

The original is already a god-tier song to begin with -- you could fart the chorus through a cheese grater and it would still get stuck in your head -- but this version is a cool, chill spin on the song. I really like it.

 

I think people forget covers don’t have to be carbon copies. I also think it’s nice
