Taylor Swift Covered Indie Hit "Riptide" And It's Perfect

When it comes to Taylor, you either love or hate her. It’s easy to hate her– she reminds you how awful it felt when your not-boyfriend broke up with you, and you listened to Red on repeat for days at a time, while lying on your bedroom floor. It was a low point, and Taylor is an incessant reminder of how boys can be the actual worst… whether you’re in college or a bonafide celebrity. The truth is, no matter how you feel about her, when T. Swizzle’s on, she’s really on.
This new cover of the absolutely gorgeous Vance Joy’s “Riptide” is everything Taylor Swift can be. All of the feels, brought to you by way of Taylor, her piano, and the BBC. So many times, pop stars are expected to hit ridiculous high notes, and they’re given songs that they can’t really sing (whether they’re Taylor or Miley). BBC Radio strips these girls down (not literally), and let’s them make indie hits their own. While this isn’t an original Taylor song, by the time she’s finished you’ll think it is.
