Shrouded in mystery, guitarist Ryan Adams never ceases to surprise. His latest announcement was one that no one could have possibly expected, a track-by-track cover album of Taylor Swift’s 1989 release. Not only that, the album will be in the style of The Smiths.
“Guaranteed saddest version of Welcome to New York ever”, said Adams about the release. Listen to a clip of it below:

Just to add to the awesomeness of this story, Swift got wind of the cover project and seems to be fully supportive of it!
@TheRyanAdams Cool I’m not gonna be able to sleep tonight or ever again and I’m going to celebrate today every year as a holiday. I’M CALM
