Taylor Swift Covers Vance Joy’s Song “Riptide” And It Is Absolutely Beautiful
The countdown to another release from Swift in advance of her new album is on, but in the meantime, Swift performed a cover of Vance Joy’s “Riptide” for BBC Radio 1.
The cover opens with little orchestration, just Swift accompanying herself on the piano. Swift slows the song down for her purposes, turning it to a ballad. Her interpretation very much puts the song in conversation with her own catalogue.
