  • I hate how people are saying this isnt her song.WELL NO DIP!THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A DAMN COVER. And honestly,I love both the original and the cover, Taylor Swift and Mumford & Sons both did an amazing job.

  • This is a horrible cover. She is NOT a folk artist and this just pissed me off.

  • I love both Taylor and Mumford and Sons. STOP HATING. End of story.

  • A.M.A.Z.I.N.G & B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L <3

  • The song in general sucks! dont get mad a taylor for making it better!

  • nooo taylor. stick with songs about people being mean to you.

  • Please stop. Stop ruining amazing music.

  • Comment removed

  • I actually thought she did an excellent job at this cover!

  • Uuhm.. I didn't know Taylor covered this. But.. well.. Mumford and sons has more heart in it and.. mhh.. It just doesn't seem right..

  • Marcus Mumford has an extremely strong and powerful voice, Taylor does not. That is why this song was a bad choice for her, not because she has no talent.

  • I cannot stop listening to this. You're amazing Taylor!

  • Beautiful ;)

  • i am biased in saying this, but I honestly dont like this cover. I dont really feel a whole lot. I think that she could do better than this with this song.

  • I think I prefer Kate McGill's cover (katem3) better, but it is nice to see Taylor Swift branch out.

  • I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but I kind of feel like she tried to add an accent to her voice...

  • @ReluctantJediWarrior that is exactly what I was thinking. lol.

  • @pizzapants12 Haha, then I'm not the only one :)

  • i love this.....Taylor swift my favourite artist singing a cover of my favourite band

  • Mumford & Sons is better. But I do love this version. Like how its so soft and so heartbreaking beautiful.

  • nice, but not the same... I'd still do her

  • Okay I love this song...but I have a question. I've been asking around and no one knows...wtf is a FOLLY?!

  • @ChantelleBritney it pretty much means foolish, or having a lack of common sense, etc.

  • @ChantelleBritney it means mistake or failings or foolishness

  • @ChantelleBritney Google will tell you.

  • 10 facts:  1. You are reading this comment. 2. You are realizing that is a stupid fact. 4. You didn't notice I skipped three 5. You're checking now. 6. You're smiling. 7. You are still reading my comment. 9. You did not realize I skipped eight. 10. You're checking again and smiling about hot you fell for it again. 11. You are enjoying 12. You didnt realize there are only supposed to be ten facts. Copy and paste this on ONE video. And tomorrow will be the best day ever

  • um all i'm gonna say is i love this song no matter who sings it, mumford & sons is amazing and so is taylor swift .....enough said-

  • I LOVE THIS COVER BY TAYLOR SWIFT SHE MADE IT HER OWN BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT A 'COVER' IS CALLED.

  • Ok. Mumford and Sons do a way better job. Hands down. But, did anyone gain respect for Taylor Swift since she knows good music herself enough to cover it??

  • It's not her style, it doesn't sound natural. She's country singing folk. it's not right.

  • @EdithYates Please feel free to disagree, but I was under the strong impression that country and folk were very closely intertwined, both having deep roots and origins in North America. If nothing else, you have to at least admit that they both widely include the characteristic banjo, whereas most other genres of music don't.

  • THIS IS TERRIBLE. THIS ISNT HER SONG.

  • @TheVampireweekend12 IT MAKES ME WANNA PUNCH HER IN THE FACE.

  • @EdithYates deargod yes. i hate her. this is not her song. enough said. 

  • You people are so mean, it's just a cover and she did a good job! Just because the orgininal is better doesn't mean this is bad...I think it's extremely pretty.

  • I'm forever in love with M&S, and I am NOT a fan of Taylor Swift at all, but I actually quite like the cover. There's a bit too much of a country twang for my taste, but that's her style. This is a COVER. I doubt Mumford & Sons would want everyone bashing her and being close minded to different versions of the song, yes? Yes.

  • @iSadiee14 Thank you! :D

  • She shamed this song.

  • If you don't like Taylor then why are you listening to this song... A wise rabbit once said if you can't say anything nice your shouldn't say anything at all..... Just saying don't hate Taylor..... Both versions are good in my opinion so shut your bitching up..... Good Day!

  • Every musician is entitled to their own interpretation and imitation. I wouldn't say she ruined it rather than she may have fallen short in emotionally portraying what Marcus Mumford intended when he wrote this song.

    She still maintains great musicianship.

  • horrrrible ,,, i dont know if i hate the original now or if i appreciate the original a lot more!

  • I love both!

  • ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yea. She's a good singer in her own right but this song was not meant for her. Thats all I can say.

  • TAYLOR SWIFT IS AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

    FOREVER MUMFORD <3

  • how can you actually say that, you obviously don't know what music is...dont like it? dont listen to it...very simple.

  • I disagree with people saying she ruined it because she didn't have any emotion...I feel it...so much...just because she's not like screaming or singing loudly..I think she did sooo well on this, she made me fall in love with the song.

  • It's called a "cover" for a reason. It's not supposed to be exactly the same as the original. This is her version...

  • I adore Mumford and Sons, and I love their version. But I also love this. It's a completely different interpretation of the song. From their point of view it means one thing and when she sings it the song means something else completely. It's so raw and lovely and something that she never, ever does. I feel like they're not even the same song, she made it her own and she made it wonderful. I feel like you probably can't truly appreciate music if you can't appreciate that.

  • I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALLLLLLLLLLL. mumford all the way<3

  • Neither loved it or hated it. Just think that the music has lost all its strength :\

  • i don't think that her "rage" was quite..rage-y enough. and i think she has the ability to turn every song she sings into a teenage-girl-whine... not that she doesn't have a nice voice, her music is just nothing like mumford and sons

  • I was listening to the Sigh No More album and looked up covers for this song because I fell in love with it, and I found this. Although it's not as good as the original, in her defense, it's hard to convey the deep, cutting emotion of it. I think it's beautiful in it's own way, and she doesn't ruin it.

  • Step off the good music baby cakes. Do your lame teenager shit.

  • no way just no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • she did well, a lot better than most people can, but the original has shows so much emotion and overall better, in my opinion.

  • Thumbs up if you heard Mumford and Sons first! :D

  • Did Taylor Swift just impress me? I think so.

  • Ehhhhhhhhhhh.

  • i really love this song from her

  • T swiftttttt yourrrr sexyyyyyyyyy, but you made this song ugly compared to the original. not hating jus throwing an opinion out there.

  • well....in my opinion.....she did amazing. do any of you haters wanna try and cover one of there songs? its hard. dont judge

  • It's not a horrible cover, she did good.

    I just love Mumford and Sons way better.

  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i suppose u can guess im pretty enthusiastic about this....

  • This is a horrible cover..

  • I'm not a T.Swift fan, but this is my favorite M&S song, and I personally think she nailed it. It's like when people on American Idol or other singing shows sing a song you love and put their own twist on it but it still sounds awesome. Props, Taylor.

  • Not the biggest fan of Taylor Swift, but this is a beautiful cover. Of course nothing can beat the original (Mumford & Sons is one of the best bands I've ever heard), but this is still really lovely.

  • Its not ruined, she just cant put the same amount of passion and soul into it as Marcus does. She did really well, there is just no soul.

  • i came into this with no expectations of liking it at all. however, it is a great song and she does a pretty nice job.

  • Taylor Swift is a cunt for this.

    DO A BETTER JOB NEXT TIME, dummy.

  • I think TS deserves to die after ruining this song :)

  • Uhm no sorry taylor /watch?v=Rd3I_gGPUCs

  • like hearing this song from a completely different person but i still wish taylor had tried to put a little bit... more into it.

  • She usually has a great voice, but this is kinda flat :/

  • @grazedelbows

    if you mean her pitch is flat then you clearly have no sense of pitch

  • This is the best I've ever heard from Taylor Swift (mostly because it's not one of her songs about holding a grudge against a guy). Although it's quite obvious Mumfy did it 10000000000000000x better.

  • Wow, way to ruin a song.

  • Hey guys. Different band, different feel. Grow a pair and change the song if you don't like it. I'm not a Swift fan, but i listen to it. You don't have to make a big deal out of disliking something.

  • Does this upset anyone else?

  • @Xximaambulance meeeeeeeeeee

  • Sounds terrible...

  • It's a bit more boring than Mumford and Sons, but still acceptable...

  • Frankly I love both versions of the song. Each giving a different perspective of the same song and allowing the listener to experience something different. Both are great.

  • Stop hating on her guys, does it really matter?

    It's not as intense, and she did what she wanted with it. Just.... Marcus, Ben, Ted, and Winston would NOT act this way if they didn't like it. Come on, grow up.

  • Marcus has this intensity that can't be replaced.

    The intensity is one (of the many) of the things that makes the song, and M&S, so good.

    She is lacking a lot of intensity and soul, that's why I don't like it.

    I've never been a fan of her voice, but this video was suggested to me by a friend, so I had to watch it.

    Like I said, it's probably because I just can't stand Taylor's music.

  • its not bad. but better then M&S? no, not even close. Kate Mcgill did it better. its not bad at all, its quite good, but far from the best version

  • Smelly taylor swift ruinin this song she should kill herself smelly gee bag prostitute slut trollop go die u whore

  • @ManCityFan15 Wow.... You're an ass hole.

  • @ManCityFan15 you insult using the word "smelly" and expect people to take you seriously? we aren't 5 anymore.

  • It´s not that good beacause she´s an american while M&S and Kate Mcgill are british so it fits better for them.

  • @Romanbellic31 What the fuck are you talking about?! It's not fucking because she's American! We're all HOMOSAPIEN so how does it not fit anyone?! Get your head out of your ass!

  • I like Mumford and Sons ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Better!

  • this is shitty, mumford & sons is the best band in the world

  • Katem3 did it way better.. a long time ago

  • No. Just no.

  • I love it when my favorite artist covers songs from my favorite band!

  • I feeel like she's forcing the words. She has a great voice. But I just don't think this song is for her. Mumford & Sons have a very different musical style & I think it'd be extremely hard to make a cover of one of their songs. This is still beautiful and taylor has a great voice. But I just don't think it's for her.

  • @ItsJustMaddy I agree absolutely.

  • This is my first time listening to this, and wow... she just kind of ruined it. There was so much emotion in the original, and she just killed it. She simplified it way too much, and she has absolutely no feeling in her voice.

    Just my opinion. :/

  • not bad...but it put me to sleep. no passion, no emotion, no energy. not dynamic like the original at all...took everything good about the original and muffled it

  • Her voice is nice but I couldn't hear any emotion particularly in the chorus.

    but it's ok. opinions, opinions

    the lyrics are "you did not think when you sent me to the BRINK" though

  • she needs to play the same guitar, not a simplified version while also keeping the right rhythm, it doesn't compare.

  • I'm not feeling this.

  • Killed It .......... In A Bad Way

  • I don't think her voice is strong enough for this song and there isn't enough emotion. She made it too soft.

  • I think she makes it too soft. The original goes from somewhat soft to more powerful. I don't think she's very good at that.

  • It's good, but not as good as Mumford ;D

  • Good thing she did a horrible job of this song, it makes the original song much better

  • There's obviously no way to compare to Marcus Mumford's voice, the way he sings it has incredible emotion and feeling and beauty, it just can't be beat. But Taylor's voice is pretty, and soft, and it's a great cover, but after you hear the original, nothing compares haha. In my opinion.

  • So good *like*

  • no one can beat mumford and heres a perfect example...... 

  • Love this song :) Listen to Kate McGill's version of this song. It's honestly breathtaking.

  • this is so amazing! GO TAYLOR!

  • amazing.

  • amazing song love taylor idc shes amazing her singing this song just makes me love her more great song

  • this is amazing. and all of you who are complaining, well youre just jealous. so get over yourselves.

  • Everyone saying that Taylor ruined that song.. ¨All you are is Mean, and a lier, and pathetic!¨

  • The lyrics and emotions expressed in this song are just so much more meaningful when sung by a man.

  • obviously everyone on these comments i swelling with rage at this cover. but personally. a cover is an honor. everyone is being so harsh.

  • I think both versions is beautiful. I heard her live, and she has a big talent for sure! She made her own version of the song, and I like when people does that.

  • Like this if you like Kate McGill's cover better.

  • I can promise everybody that Taylor Swift did not ruin this song. Maybe take out your earplugs and actually listen to the song. If you don't like, thats fine, but please do not be rude. She is obviously talented and if sheis ruining the song, then go listen to actual version. kthanks:)

  • EPIC FAIL!!!!!

  • OMG she totally ruined the song the original is amazing and it can't be touched. MumFord and Sons rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taylor should stick to what she knows FAIRYTALES!

  • I'm in love with the Mumford & Sons, but i also love Taylor Swift and her cover of the song is very good :)

  • i was with you when u wrote that song

    rember me taylor hah can wait to hang out agian rember sususus super bass aha see you soon in LA

  • @britneybeanz chill LOL but that's your opinion. I love them both and I love this cover. she put a different emotion to it and I felt it. Taylor make brilliant music also M&S so.... chill dude

  • Obviously the critics have never seen Taylor Swift live before...she is amazing...as are Mumford live.

  • Mumford And Sons have one of the best albums of all time!

    Taylor just eff off and leave actual good music alone.

    

  • Mumford And Sons have one of the best albums of all time!

    Taylor just f*** off and leave actual good music alone.

  • Mumford And Sons have one of the best albums of all time!

    Taylor just f*** off and leave actual good music alone.

  • @britneybeanz Somebodies a bit repetitive. I wonder, would you be this angry if Mumford & Sons covered one of her songs? Honestly, all she's doing is saying that she likes their songs so much that she'd like to show her appreciation by covering one of their songs. 

  • @Thellamainpajamas Haha I highly doubt Mumford and Sons would ever cover Taylor, they have far too much talent to lower their standards to the crap America produces. And also, I didnt think the comment posted at all... but the fact it posted in multiples is just great but that's besides the point :)

    The girl can sing, I agree, but her cover is not better then the original. Not even close.

  • @britneybeanz Honestly, saying Taylor Swift's music is part of the crap America produces is kind of generilizing it. What exactly is the crap America produces, may I ask?Just because their a British band doesn't mean they hate America, or any other country for that matter. I think it's true they she didn't do better than the original, but I think thats true for basically every song, ever. The people who wrote the songs preformed them with the most heart, after all.

  • @Thellamainpajamas

    British bands hate America? I cannot state that as im not in a band nor am I British. My generalizations of the American mainstream music, simply America is responsible for Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift & repetitious rap & not to mention the newest Spears singles WHICH do make Taylor triumph. Would love to compare & contrast both countries, but ill save that for the day I decide to start a blog. Keep you posted on that, don't wait up though! x

  • This is an amzing cover, better than the orginal. Love you Taylor <3

  • Looks like some people searched for "My life sucks and I need a fantastic cover to put down to make me feel better."

    This is so good. <3

  • Ahh Taylor, how I love you! This is awesome. I felt everything damn!

  • Everybody needs to shut the fuck up. If you don't like, don't listen. It's that simple.

  • She does not ruin the song.Why the fuck are you listening to it then?She did this wonderfully in my opinion.

  • @Jenniemolly im watching cause i love taylor swift and i wanted to hear it not because i hate the song and she did not ruin the song she made it a bit better

  • Love it :D <3 

  • It's not horrible. Obviously it isn't going to be the same when someone covers a song. She made it into her style; that's what a cover is. Original will always be better though.

  • How about if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

  • okay so i would have been okay with it if she had done it WELL..... but she doesnt have the raw edge that mumford does with it...... its like..... the grain in his voice is what makes the song amazing.... her sweet innocent softness just doesnt wirk with the song AT ALL..... she's better off sticking to what she does already.

  • @beccahostilo07 lets see YOU sing it then :)

  • i quite like it :)

  • I hate covers that are pretty much straight up covers! Same instrumental and everything...where's the creativity? Was hoping for something different as her voice would be great for this song but this is just a copy version with her singing over Marcus instead.

  • no.

  • If she put a little more force into the appropriate parts, it could be a pretty great cover. She just stayed around the same tone the whole time.

    I mean, I love both Taylor & Mumford, but obviously the original is more emotional & the instruments in general are amazingg.

  • I love Mumford And Sons and I love her, therefore this cover is awesome.

  • I love this song! She sings it so beautifully! I really hate the way some people are saying that she is 'awful'! Do you not realise that this is a complement, it shows that she likes Mumford and Sons, she is a fan just like all of us and you give out about her?! That seems really stupid to me!

  • This ist good, but nothing on mumford and sons :)

  • Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you and Imma let you finish..

    But only Marcus' voice can do this song justice.

    You should stick to your pop songs.

  • nothing beats marcus's husky tone,it's what this whole songs about & what gives it such a haunting feeling.

    this is alright,just alright i guess.

  • I'm really glad the thumbs downs are more than half the thumbs up so far. This is awful. She sounds like she's falling asleep.

  • you killed it sugga

  • sorry but this is totally different from the orriginal version. this version is haunting and beautiful and as its from taylor, a girl, it gives it a completely new perspective. theres no comparison to be made because they are different. I love taylor swift, and i love her for covering this amazing song!

  • @13sparksfly This isn't that different from the original. 

  • to the people who's ears are bleeding please go to the doctor, that's not good LOL I fucking love this cover. hate all you want! I love Taylor swift!

  • @SabNordlund Yes, you are..glad you could admit it :)

  • @SabNordlund Omg..why are you such a bitch? Seriously..if you have nothin nice to say then just gtfo because nobody wants to hear your stupid, whiny, bitchy comments. Grow up. Stop trying to act cool, you seriously just made yourself look like a fucking idiot. Nice try though ;)

  • @xXxRachieXBabiexXx yes im clearly the one trying to act cool...

  • It's really stupid to hate on this version.It is nice and she did her best,even if the original is better (when it comes to covers,originals are almost always better).

  • @XxCaroxXBx ps its not moaning its an expression of a personal opinion ;) good try tho keep it up and u might get SOMETHING right :D

  • @SabNordlund haha well just to let you know no one cares about your opinion sweetie :) good try THOUGH keep it up and you might actually spell SOMETHING right :D

  • @XxCaroxXBxX obviously someone did......

  • @SabNordlund putting someone in their place and caring are NOT the same thing.......
