Honestly the fact that she did this cover is her paying a compliment to Mumford & Sons. Showing that their worth her attention. While you may not like her, you have to see that someone as big and as popular as her paying homage to someone isn't an easy thing to do.
God damn. Really? Fucking up my favorite Mumford & Sons song.... Maybe I'm biased... but really? Really? Ugh. No, sorry, it just doesn't have the power that the original does, so it may as well not exist. Pretending I didn't find out this exists and... Moving on...
I liked it.. Not many people have a voice as powerful as Marcus' but that doesn't make them not talented just because it's not as good as the people who actually wrote the song (the case with most covers)
You know what? She might be a great singer, don't know her and totally don't wanna judge her, but this song isn't as good as the original. Just the fact that her voice you can hear it every five seconds cause it's covered by instruments.
And most important, I don't see Love spreading out of her while she sings, like Mumford and Sons do.
Again, not judging her, just trying to be objective on this performance.
Dead VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she must PUT more energy and life to her voice!! Taylor is absolutley a great singer but this performance is so LOOOW! only mumfords that can bring this music and lyrics alive!
Look, I hate Taylor's music... But she puts a lot of emotion behind this... She has a strong soul, but her I can only hope that her songwriting catches up one day.
I don't know why people are hating. Taylor will never be Mumford and Sons, but this isn't a bad cover. I appreciate that she has good taste, in any case.
Stop hating! at least it shows that she also appreciates real music by singing those kind of songs, she sends a good message! It's not like she was singing and supporting useless songs talking about sex, money and other bullshit.
Why? This is not another "she wears short skirts I wear T-shirts" song for you to sing Taylor. This is a "tell me now where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart" song that has pain and passion that rocks a person from their core. Nice try I guess...
@skiwiz17 I'm a girl haha not a sir. And yea I mean I don't hate it, it's a decent cover... I just don't like Taylor Swift. She put some nice emotion it in though so I'll give her that.
@sweetmeex3 you fucking joke! im American an i love Mumford an suns an you being disrespectful for no reason is what gives England a laughable reputation! i came here from Mumford and suns video's dont even like tayler swift just wanted to hear a bad ass song from another artist and you solely killed that... i hope your life spoils just like you spoiled my moment in life!
@sweetmeex3 dude your a dip shit give up now, look at your key board the u an o are right next to each other. jack black is a comedian look it up he goes on stage as a comedian, he is not a musician all he dose is fuck around thats his act. im not trying to be literate here this is youtube not school i have a 4.0 so fuck off you dont know me or of what your talking about and im in college right now for philosophy and psychology and you sir are a Narcissist get some help for that.
@sweetmeex3 but he has a band for his act! holy macaroni if you think thats real music your ears are sick, dont get me wrong jack could play but hes not doing it to sound good.and im not even near you bro. and just cause your younger dosent give you the right to be ignorant and racist please continue an finish the English stereotype for me cause your hitting it right on the button you fucking swine.
@WSNnick i don't think he's good:|. and ok i will. Hello good sir, what would be the problem? Oh an argument over opinion? I am very sorry for that. Have a nice day.
@sweetmeex3 no opinion is on one thing to another. you put an opinion on 2 whole continents it is no longer viewed as an opinion it is now racist, an thats the reason i have decided to argue with you. i wasnt talking about how you guys talk i was talking about how you think your better then everyone else when in fact you have no factual proof dont get me wrong yall have some kick ass music i listen to everything i just really hate racism is all i apologize if i have offended you bro
@WSNnick she just by saying that your being racist to me, do you think i care? you may be american but english people think you think your so much better so it's controversial,
let it go. i was saying the accent didn't sound right and the song didn't suit her. i'm so sorry i'm english, i don't think it really matters where i'm from, i would have had the same opinion.
@sweetmeex3 I'll have to let The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, and basically any British musician who's been anything close to relevant for the past 50 years know that they need to stop playing American blues, then, per your request.
lol right? I mean it's like what did you expect though? She sang it the way it meant to her. She isn't Joe Cocker, she isn't going to pwn one of the best bands ever with a cover.
Just my opinion, but I don't feel that she did such a beautiful song the justice that it deserves. I believe that it should have been sung with more emotion and pain as Marcus sings the original. Just the raw emotion behind the original version is just haunting. Even though I'm not a fan of this version, good for her for giving it a try.
I don't listen to Tswift, but the girl is talented and you can't deny that. And she FEELS this song, you can see the anguish on her face. I love, love, love Mumford&Sons and feel honored with her decision to cover this track. Stop arguing and enjoy a beautiful piece of music.
I like how this cover is softer than the original. The original is raw and passionate and angry but this one is sadder and has a different emotion to it. I prefer the original but this one is pretty good also:)
It is a beautiful cover for sure, but listen to the lyrics. This is NOT a beautiful song, it is meant to be sung raw, and with disdain for the permission who broke your heart.
I must say that I absolutely love this cover. She sings it with heart and I'd rather have someone singing with emotion than simply good. Although I think she did great!
Also, I'm very thankful that she did this cover or I'd probably not know who Mumford & Sons are - which would be a tragedy. Swift forever! <3
Pleasantly surprised this isn't bad at all. Actually, as a musician, I'm pissed at myself and others for probably writing it off before watching it. Props @mynameisreef.
she's not Mumford and sons, so it's not going to sound like them. Its Taylor Swift, so guess who it's going to sound like? I think this is pretty raw, and more like what she used to sing anyway (like first album stuff), its good.
i think its funny that she needed more insturments than mumford and sons did :p lol i just dont like her. mumford and sons just came out and it seems people are already after their music :( give them their dues damnit
She interpreted the song as a sad song instead of the anger Mumford and Sons portrayed. but I ain't even mad. She got someone to put a bit of banjo in it, so I'm okay with it haha. I miss the anger and the force mumford and sons had with this song though.
It would seem as though my ears have begun to bleed. Hmm yes...quite so. I do say, this is the most disagreeable Mumford cover I have had the displeasure of stumbling upon, as of late. Yes, quite.
I love reading all the shit people post on videos trying to sound intelligent, Idc about corporate america or fake/ real artists. This was a good cover and your wrong if you think different.
If you're emotional, go for this song. If you've been through something like this, go for this song. If you're gonna blab about how bad you think it is or how boring you think it is, please go.
Mainstream artists like Taylor, who do covers of 'real songs by real artists' actually try harder and put more emotion to these types of songs.. going from " I wear tshirts and she wears short skirts, I'm cheer captain etc." is a joke of what real artists write about.
Marketers use artists like Taylor Swift and Hannah Montana to brain wash our children. TS if talented im sure, but singing songs that dont have any meaning isnt expression, and thats what artists do.
It's not always the desire of a cover to sound exactly like it's original. . .
I think she interprets Mumford's message differently than I do, but something tells me Mumford isn't the kind of guy to worry about semantics when it's how someone else interprets his music. The song is performed beautifully by both musicians, at least have enough respect for the art to make your decision based off of the melody, not the name on the marquee.
Although it's not a bad cover, it has nowhere near the same level as emotion as the original, I don't think she grasps the true feeling of the song. She doesn't do the song justice.
You're not out there singing are you? Lol, no. I love Mumford and Sons, as well as Taylor Swift, she did not 'butcher' this song, she did a decent job. So calm yourself.
I don't think this is bad - it's actually pretty good - but Mumford & Sons' version is and always will be the best. But i love the fact that Taylor likes this song, she has great taste of music <3
So very hard to comment on this.....first - if I had never heard and appreciated that which is Mumford and Sons, I might like this. She didn't butcher it, she sang it well. There are just some songs and talents that should not be covered. This is one of them. It lacks....Mumford and Sons.
This was well-done for its own version, but I prefer the original because of the anger put into it. This is good for a girl's POV and showing the torment of the sweeping river of depression that drowns your heart after a betrayal from someone close to you. Still a thumbs up.
It's actually excellent. How many people hating on her are professional musicians? More importantly, have some human decency. We ought to be encouraging one another, not destroying.
@kristaaar a true taylor swift fan and mns fan would know that this cover is annoying. just because someone can sing beautifully does NOT mean she can tackle this song. she crossed a line.
I think she's good in this song, but if you listen to Mumford and son's version first, then Taylor Swift's one, it's super disappointing. There's no... umph. Like she feels sadness but not furry and tragedy that Mumford and son's feels.
As a huge Mumford & Sons fan, I feel as though no one will ever be able to do their songs justice. I love Taylor Swift, but she just can't even compare to them.
in my opinion i dont like this its just that im a huge mumford & sons fan and i just dont think she gives the song emotion as @shelby9xox says there is no power in it. but thats just my opinion.

You're not out there singing are you? Lol, no. I love Mumford and Sons, as well as Taylor Swift, she did not 'butcher' this song, she did a decent job. So calm yourself.

I don't think this is bad - it's actually pretty good - but Mumford & Sons' version is and always will be the best. But i love the fact that Taylor likes this song, she has great taste of music <3

So very hard to comment on this.....first - if I had never heard and appreciated that which is Mumford and Sons, I might like this. She didn't butcher it, she sang it well. There are just some songs and talents that should not be covered. This is one of them. It lacks....Mumford and Sons.

She shouldn't sing songs that are written about real world problems, she should stick to her minor boy trouble songs

My claim to fame is directly linked to this video.
Bens scooter wouldn't start, so I cleaned the head gasket and calibrated his left hand side wing mirror and it started like a dream.
Ben asked to see me after the video was finished,where he thanked me and then gave me a herd of cows and two dozen squirrels.
I was so happy I was constipated for a week.

This was well-done for its own version, but I prefer the original because of the anger put into it. This is good for a girl's POV and showing the torment of the sweeping river of depression that drowns your heart after a betrayal from someone close to you. Still a thumbs up.

You can't take a song full of rage and power and turn it into a sappy pop song...why butcher something so great

It's actually excellent. How many people hating on her are professional musicians? More importantly, have some human decency. We ought to be encouraging one another, not destroying.

@kristaaar a true taylor swift fan and mns fan would know that this cover is annoying. just because someone can sing beautifully does NOT mean she can tackle this song. she crossed a line.

Ms. Swift, I'm sure most people would agree with me that we're happy you can recognize good music . . . but don't EVER do that again.

I think she's good in this song, but if you listen to Mumford and son's version first, then Taylor Swift's one, it's super disappointing. There's no... umph. Like she feels sadness but not furry and tragedy that Mumford and son's feels.

As a huge Mumford & Sons fan, I feel as though no one will ever be able to do their songs justice. I love Taylor Swift, but she just can't even compare to them.
