Eva Cassidy, the queen of cover music, once called herself an "interpreter." This is Ryan Adams' interpretation of "Blank Space" and it's beautiful.

Absolutely

Gives me chills what a fantastic cover

I literally had NO IDEA this was a cover until reading these comments. And having been born and raised on the Ryan Adams version (haha), I could never to the Taylor Swift version. Ryan Adams is so talented and I'm completely obsessed with his voice and the way he strings the lyrics together. It's just so beautiful.

This version of a great song just leaves you breathless. The Fabulous One!

Hell of a job on this re working of the album... every track a masterpiece

Crackpot Scientist the great soul singer Bettye Lavette has been doing "covers" like this for decades now, calling them "interpretations" instead. In the late 90s, she released I've Got My Own Hell To Raise, where she covered exclusively female artists---ranging from Dolly Parton to Fiona Apple---albeit in her bluesy, soul style. She eventually released the British Songbook, doing the same for anyone from Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd to Elton John to not only the Beatles, but a song from each of their solo careers, too!

Taylor says her version is tongue in cheek. That is, she isn't really claiming to have a long list of ex-lovers who think she's insane. But with Ryan you get the feeling he's being sincere. Maybe that's why his version Is slow and heartfelt.

@thesolitaryadventurer

It's an age thing really, I would think. When Taylor wrote it, it's tongue in cheek that she could have the long list at such an age. But for Ryan, it is possible so he interprets the song more earnestly. Love both versions. I often listen to his and her versions of the whole 1989 album interspersed. Stellar songs and stellar rearrangements/covers.

I get drunk on jealousy But you'll come back each time you leave So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players And you love the game So goddamn reckless We'll take this way too far It'll leave you breathless Or with a nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane But I've got a blank space, baby And I'll write your name I'll write your name I'll write your name I'll write your name

No..I got no inspiration from the movie or actress with this penning: I wrote the lyrics for every cut on 1989

I love his version, but gosh i wish he'd adjusted the lyrics just a bit so that he's not referring to himself as she... Just a couple of slight changes... Having said that, Ryan Adams, in the end, really can do no wrong.
