Ryan Adams says covering Taylor Swift 'transformed' him
Singer-songwriter Ryan Adam says Taylor Swift's 1989 was a tremendous, if unintended, gift to him.
Ryan Adams isn't afraid to admit he's a passionate Taylor Swift fan. In fact, the prolific songwriter was so moved by the pop star's music that he recorded a complete cover record of her latest album.
Adams joins Shad to share why 1989 resonated with him at a tough time, and how an artist 15 years his junior became a great musical influence.
"[Her songs] probably released more things that I wanted, in me," says Adams.
