The next artist to cover Taylor Swift's '1989' — Father John Misty

Ryan Adams was just the beginning.

Today, Adams released his much-ballyhooed cover album of Taylor Swift's 1989, giving favorites like Shake It Off and Blank Space different treatments spanning various eras of rock music.

And after the internet responded with drooling fervor—seriously, when was the last time you read this much about Ryan Adams?—other musicians seemingly want in on the fun.

First up to cover Ryan Adams covering Taylor Swift: folk-rocker Father John Misty, who goes full Lou Reed for his takes on Blank Space and Welcome to New York.

(In case you weren't hearing Lou in FJM's middle school talent show-level impression, he made the Soundcloud art the famous Velvet Underground banana. Thanks for the assist!)

Love them or hate them, rock dudes covering Taylor seems to be blossoming into a trend, which will inevitably conclude with Ed Sheeran covering Shake It Off as Snoop Dogg and the apocalypse swallowing us all.

On that note, here's those Father John Misty covers:
