Ryan Adams Previews ‘1989’ Cover Album
Ryan Adams blew Taylor Swift's mind when she found out that he has decided to cover the entirety of her latest album '1989.'
Adams has been posting photos and videos from his recording session all week. Here's what he has shared thus far:
The first Instagram post that Adams made alluded to the tone that we would hear in later videos. If you're thinking, 'I've heard of him, but can't place him...' He was married to Mandy Moore. Want to get a feel for his vibe? Check out his cover of Oasis' 'Wonderwall.'
Guaranteed saddest version of Welcome to New York ever - or your tears back

Ryan Adams knows how to 'Shake It Off.' Beware, it's haunting!
Sharing a photo of his acoustic guitar, Ryan Adams tells fans he's ready to dig in to 'Bad Blood' and 'Wildest Dreams.'
The latest in '1989' shares is an audio clip from 'Bad Blood.' I'm stoked, and can't wait to hear how he was re-imagined Taylor's work.
