    what a great version! further demonstrates the lacking in taylor’s voice I think….i recognize that she’s wildly talented and at such a young age to boot, and she seems like a sweet person…..but she can’t SING!

    Really catchy and enjoyable! But sheeeeeez . . . put the seat up, dude.

    Heard this song over the weekend and wondered who covered it. Thanks EW.

  • Dusty

    I love it. Leave it to a rock singer/songwriter/producer to make it sound more country than the original.

    Butch Walker is by far the most talented human in the music industry.
    Forget the covers, and the stuff that he writes/produces for other people, listen to his own stuff.
    He has 3 albums with his band The Marvelous 3, and 4 solo studio albums. They will rock your world.

    Butch Walker has huge fans around the world, including here in Mexico. We love him. He is very talented, and I follow his work.

    And he did an awesome job with this really cool song by the talented and gorgeous Taylor Swift. I’m not surprised, leave it to Butch to make awesome.

    Loved it! Heard it first after Taylor tweeted about it. Its amazing and I love that he shows clips of the process of making the cover, he really deconstructs the song, then puts it back together to sound better than the original.

    I’ve been a fan of Butch Walker since his days with M3 and always loved everything he’s been a part of.

    His excellent quickie cover provides even more proof that he’s a musical genius deserving of far greater attention and fame.

    I highly recommend everything he’s been a part of especially this cover which makes a nice bridge from the artist I love to the artist my daughters love.

    I would listen to Butch Walker read a phonebook. So much talent in one person.

  • Ashlee

    Butch Walker is my favorite artist ever, He is one of the most talented musicians out there and its really great for him to be acknowledged like this. This cover has gotten him some well deserved publicity.
    And Taylor Swift is pretty awesome too. :)

    Don’t forget his covers of other songs like Always Something There To Remind Me, Tiny Dancer, Alison, Bohemian Rhapsody, Born to Run, Live and Let Die, etc. But his own original music is 200% better!
