This is a crossover straight out of our wildest dreams and we are never, ever, ever getting over it .
At the Washington State Fair Saturday Night,Keith Urbantook the stage and performed a seriously gorgeous cover ofTaylor Swift‘s new song “Lover. ” And we definitely weren’t ready for it.
“Every now and then you hear a song that you love and wish you’d written…. ” the country star captioned theInstagramvideo on Sunday. “And a HUGE thx to my band as well- we didn’t get to rehearse so …. this is us fully winging it – KU # Lover @ taylorswift.”
And needless to say, like the rest of us, Taylor most certainlycannot calm downright now. “Keith Urban covering Lover flawlessly,” she shared with her 121 million followers on Instagram Story. “I am screaming. This is so beautiful.”
The song, from the superstar’s record breakingseventh album, is easily her most romantic yet.
“My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue, “she belts out on the track. “All’s well that ends well to end up with you.”
The lyric, which she previewed in her (Vogue) interview, raised eyebrows on social media with fans thinking she wassecretly engagedto longtime loveJoe Alwyn. (FWIW, her rep swiftly denied the rumor.)
Like “Lover” the song,Loverthe album also holds aspecial placein Taylor’s heart. (And no, it’s not because it’s thetop selling albumof 2019.)
“It’s the first one that I will own of my work,” she toldGood Morning America‘sRobin Roberts, making a nod toScooter Braun‘s ownership ofher masters. “My contract says that starting November 2020, so next year, I can record albums one through five all over again, so I’m very excited about it. I just think that artists deserve to own their work. I just feel very passionately about that. “
