Under the Covers: Vance Joy / Taylor Swift

Your weekly dose of genre-bending with your favorite WBRU artists/songs! From the genuinely good to the what-the-hell weird, we got you covered.

On Tuesday, Vance Joy released an acoustic cover of Taylor Swift’s pop hit “I Know Places,” which appears on her latest album, 1989. The cover had a timely release; at the end of this month, Vance Joy will join Swift for the North American leg of her 1989 world tour. Last October, Swift covered Vance Joy’s “Riptide” and with Vance Joy returning the favor, we couldn’t help but wonder if they two will collaborate in a performance once the tour kicks off in the US on May 22.
