Ryan Adams

On August 13, 2014, Ryan Adams took to the stage of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, showcasing his track 'Kim', a highlight from his self-titled album released just a year prior, in 2014. This album marked a significant moment in Adams’ career, as it was his first full-length release after stepping away from his established band, The Cardinals, to pursue a more personal and introspective sound. Interestingly, that same year, he collaborated with Taylor Swift, producing a reimagined version of her '1989' album that drew much attention. This live performance illustrated his return to the spotlight with a matured musical vibe, blending heartfelt lyrics and a classic rock backbone. The choice of venue emphasized that fun connection between late-night shows and music artistry, a platform where he showcased both his richness and vulnerability.
