Taylor Swift

The live recording of Taylor Swift covering "Can't Stop Loving You" by Phil Collins took place during her promotion for the album "Red," released in October 2012. This period marked a significant transition for Swift, as she moved from her country roots towards a more pop-oriented sound, which was fully realized in her subsequent album, "1989," released in 2014. The choice to cover a Phil Collins classic highlights her willingness to blend different musical influences and showcase her versatility as an artist. During this time, Swift was experiencing significant commercial success, with "Red" generating multiple hit singles including "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together." The BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge is known for featuring acoustic versions of popular artists’ songs, providing a unique platform for Swift to connect with her audience in a more intimate setting.
