Ryan Adams Offers Up Three Taylor Swift Covers on The Daily Show

Rob Slater on October 2, 2015

Those waiting for the live debut of Ryan Adams’ interpretation of Taylor Swift’s 1989 had to wait no longer as the singer-songwriter appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah last night, armed with the batch of musicians that helped him craft the record. Adams delivered three songs including the first single, “Bad Blood” along with a rocking version of “Style” and a more intimate “Blank Space,” which he comically dedicated to Sandra Bullock’s character in The Net. 

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Noah explained why he chose Adams as his first guest, saying, “He took Taylor Swift and remade that to much acclaim and has done exceptionally well, and I really appreciate that. He’s done in essence what we’ve done here — he’s taken something that was loved by many, cherished by many, and has created a new version of it for himself.”
