After teasing several of the tracks over the past few weeks, it appears that Ryan Adams’ ongoing project of covering Taylor Swift’s 1989 in its entirety now has a street date. The covers LP will drop this Monday, September 21, with “Bad Blood” even getting the premiere treatment via Zane Lowe on Apple’s Beats 1.
Everyone is excited. Even Tay Tay.
UPDATE 12:47 p.m.: Here’s “Bad Blood.” Listen to it:
“Ryan’s music helped shape my songwriting,” Swift tweeted out a few minutes ago. “This is surreal and dreamlike.”
Start making room on those Best Albums of 2015 lists now…
