When Ryan Adams announced last month that he would be covering Taylor Swift's 1989 in its entirety, Taylor (and all of us) nearly passed out. Since the announcement, Ryan has been teasing us with snippets of songs like "Blank Space" and "Style" in the style of The Smiths all over his social media.
Today, the singer debuted his interpretation of "Bad Blood" in its entirety on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, which you can listen to here. He also revealed the album's artwork and that it will be digitally released in full September 21. Listen to "Bad Blood" below and look for his 1989 cover album to arrive on the internet next week. Pre-order the album beginning tonight at 9 pm PST on Apple Music and receive "Bad Blood" instantly.
Ryan's music helped shape my songwriting. This is surreal and dreamlike. Countdown to #RyanAdams1989 @TheRyanAdams pic.twitter.com/pGZB0uUqiB
And for reference, here's Taylor's original "Bad Blood" (as if you could forget it).
