We love to sing along to our favorite Taylor Swift songs, so perhaps its no surprise that our favorite artists like to, too. Through the years, plenty of singers and bands have decided to cover Swift’s songs, each putting their own unique spin on them. Most recently this August, singer-songwriter Soccer Mommy released her own version of “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” from Swift’s self-titled debut album, and in July, The Maine covered Swift’s recent hit “Cruel Summer.” Others who’ve covered Swift’s songs include Sara Bareilles, Maggie Rogers, and One Direction’s Niall Horan, all picking songs from different Swift eras.
And Swift is always pretty supportive of other people’s versions of her hits. When Rogers covered “Tim McGraw” (another track from her first album) in 2018, Swift shared it on Instagram, thanking Rogers and adding, “This cover is heavenly,” per MTV. Swift similarly praised Horan’s cover of “Lover” (which also features Fletcher) in 2020, calling it “absolutely stunning” on Instagram, per Teen Vogue.
With the singer’s heartbreaking lyrics and catchy melodies, it’s no wonder Swift’s musical colleagues are drawn to her songs again and again. Ahead, we rounded up some of our favorite covers of Taylor Swift songs of all time.
