Someone send this to Taylor ASAP!!! This is the stuff that Taylor loves. The creative process. I love hearing the raw sound of a song. But you know what I would love to see and especially hear? Taylor doing a raw album like this. I'm a rock girl at heart and I've been wanting to hear a rock album from her. Emo, punk, alt, grunge, heavy metal, etc. Taylor can TOTALLY pull this off. I like Jack Antonoff but it's always good to change things up and keep inspiration flowing. I'd be down to hearing Alex Melton and his friends being producers for a future album of hers. I think a majority of folks would love that as well. Awesome job guys! ✌❤
honestly taylor can pull off any genre if she really wants to and at this point it's only fair she goes into rock for at least a little bit after all the genres she's experimented with already
tayble is a talentless fad
who cares about Taylor
raw? lol this is produced to death. It's still awesome, but its not raw. Far from it.
@@jonathanoakley88 Yes, raw. Did he look up notes or read a song sheet to find the chords to the song? No. He sat there, listening and strumming away at his guitar trying to find the right chords to the song. By listening to the song, he was tuning his ear to the music. He did that on his own. Not many people can do that. He's very good at it. He's got an ear for music.
Obviously, the produced stuff came afterwards after recording certain parts to the song, he then edited it later and created his own version of it.
What I've learned from this is that Taylor Swift songs make great Pop Punk covers. This was absolutely fantastic! Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to the next cover!
Nearly every Pop Goes Punk album has a Taylor Swift cover on it, and almost every single one sounds amazing. Her songs translate so well to the genre lol
@@AugmentedSmurf She should switch imo, ive never really listened to her but i went and listened to this one before i heard his cover. This cover is miles better than the original just because it has the drums and guitar. But then again i didnt listen to her in the first place maybe someone who likes her would disagree
Alex’s take is so good!
I have a whole Spotify playlist of just pop punk Taylor covers!!! Her songs are just so well written they can be performed in so many ways and still be good bet they especially fit well in pop punk because of her angtsy lyrics haha
@@Llama_charmer Honestly even some fans (like me) think she‘d do so well in rock/pop rock. Her third album Speak Now has a couple songs with a rock vibe but she just dips her toes in. “Better Than Revenge” is one of those songs. And in some concerts she’s even done rock versions of her songs and they’re so good I wish she would just go for it but I understand the pop appeal 😅
my wife and i always joke that tswift accidentally writes metal songs and now she does the same with pop punk. our last night's cover of look what you made me do, and now this?!?!?!!? You are incredible (as is the other person who i hadn't seen yet) and i appreciate all you do
on her 1989 tour, some of the songs she sang def had a rock-ish vibe!!! (not on the album, just on tour)
i looked it up! it was we are never getting back together (i knew you were trouble was pretty cool too). if you search those titles and 1989 tour you should be able to find just those songs from that tour!
@@yesjesswellness thanks!!
@@eric_welch COYG!
@@timcheek8707 COYG!!
8:39 it was so satisfying to hear this part be played twice on guitar. I always feel like that little lick needs to be longer in the original song
Alex has managed to combine pop punk and Taylor Swift, and wether he knows it or not, is going to make a lot of bisexuals obsessed with him by doing this.
Sorry bro, he's married.
This is so specific, but I can confirm as a bisexual who's obsessed with him.
The rainbow "soft boi" shirt probably doesn't hurt!
Woahhhhh this is incredible guys!!
Really cool to see the creative process happen. Peeling back the curtain and seeing how fast you guys grabbed the key, progressions and stuff is wild.
This is straight effin fire, i think its my fav Taylor cover at this point. Crossing my fingers this one can get to spotify.
I’m so proud of how we were able to so realistically capture a lot of our spontaneous process, it’s my favorite part of making stuff.
@@AlexMelton yas dude this is verified midas shit to the fullest.. I know you gotta keep all the internets wanting more but from my view this was the most enjoyable thing to see.
When tyler was like "Key of E" and listed the NN I was like got dang these dudes are ridic. This has been the biggest eye opener to how well ya'll work together.
Rad sh*t (not sure if i can say that on YT).
@@AlexMelton Alex, we are all so proud of you. Amazing cover.
“Fav Taylor cover.”
Hands down, no contest.
This gives me like an early 2000s punk rock band. Musically with a yellow card/simple plan vibe with a Mayday Parade vibe with the vocals. Loved this!
I'll be patiently waiting for the if "Blink" did it version 😎
I’m anxiously awaiting if T-Swift did edging.
Yessssss please!
@@406RamsFan I’m anxiously edging to T Swift
@@Maximus5798 I mean, aren’t we all?
Or if the Worship/Metal Band is really into T-Swift
Whether you consciously picked up on this in your one listen or not, you managed to incorporate my favourite feature of the original!
Which is, in the second and third chorus the last line has second vocal up the octave that kind of takes over as the melody. Instead in your final chorus you just sing the final line up the octave. Close enough!
I also love your take on the second pre-chorus. Fantastic work on everything!
I love this! Taylor's songwriting suits pop punk and rock
PLEASE do more of these “one time” covers and some of the behind the scenes cover creations!
I absolutely love this behind the scenes look. Great video guys! Seltzers always make you feel productive.
The little lead lick at 8:55 rules.
Seriously love you showing behind the scenes. Can you do more of these?
been legit waiting for a pop punk version of this song, its got such potential
Alex, that Tele crunch you put in there was epic and made the song. The drums, as always, are freaking top notch. You are pretty much a musical genius. A rare treasure. I would love to see more Taylor goes punk covers. This song already pulls at my heart and your version makes it singable for me. Thank you. I love your passion and infinite talent. Please continue to be amazing and produce epic covers.
Hoping for this to be on Spotify ASAP!!!!!!!
This is cool it reminds me of when I was in band in school and we would compete in contests. In the contests we would have to sight read and only have a few minutes to sight read a piece we hadn't seen or heard before and then perform it in front of the judges. It was nerve racking. Y'all just did it all by ear just the two of you. I'm always impressed when people play by ear like that. The outcome was really solid. ✌️
As I listened my brain expected the line 'She's laughing up at us from hell!' would be shouted/metal screamed for some reason. You made a great cover, especially after barely listening to the song!
Today's video is brought to you by Lacroix 😁 AMAZING job with this song. Love the dynamics you put into it.
And Bubly 💞
no doubt
I believe in Bubly/Aha supremacy
the doubletime drum fill near the end was particularly sick.
and I hope you can land a sponsorship with Bubly given all of the cans y'all slammed through that 😆
Loved seeing the creative process!! Also the drum breakdown on the last chorus slapped so friggin hard!
This is how you know you've come along way and been playing a long time. I've seen people play for 15+ years listen to a song a few times and bam! Play it! Excellent 👍😁
absolutely love seeing your creative process together!! More content like this plz!
Dude… since she released this song I think we all knew this was going to be an instant Alex Melton banger. 1 million thumbs up.😎😎
That was insane! I’ve been known to find guitar chord progressions for songs I’ve only ever heard once, but to do a full cover like this? That’s insane!

What drum library did you use to punch in the rough drums??
This was so fun to watch! I want more of this "one time listen" stuff! Unbelievable!
I thought you were gonna try and remember all the lyrics after just listening once. I'd like you to do that next time!
same! as good as this was, i would also like to see a frantic scribbling of lyrics and goofy ass hodgepodge of instrumental assembling haha
This was SO COOL!! Love seeing the process behind your work and doing this after listening to it once…you killed it!
Loving it already! Haven't heard her version yet! Great job to you both! How cool of a concept! Guys! Can't wait for the new single!
Me either lol
this is awesome! thoroughly enjoyed watching, really impressive. especially liked the ending! also I just noticed I have the same little orange and black computer keyboard as you lol anyway great video!!
wow this cover made me appreciate this song a little more, ill be honest when I first heard the original I was like nah not for me but its amazing how youve transformed it into just the song for me. Great Job!
Love the format and the behind the scenes look at what goes into these covers. Probably my favorite video so far.
That was super interesting to watch, and I gotta say the cover was absolutely banging. If that was genuinely after one proper listen, really amazing job, even catching most of the small background notes and riffs in the song. Top tier content!
This is literally AMAZING, I keep coming back to hear this version again and again. It’s so beautifully composed! LOVING IT🤩💗💗💗
You guys NAILED it!! I loved it. Everything you guys touch has been GOLDEN!
This was really an awesome cover! Gave me vibes for what if Anti-Hero was written for a boy band instead. Really cool!
It's honestly not fair how talented you are. Haha. After finding this channel my pop-punk, emo heart hasn't been this happy since highschool! 😊
Loved this format. Really cool to see the process. Stoked for the new album!
Love this, great behind the scenes.
This is absolutely incredible! It’s been so fun watching all the covers and new versions of “Anti-Hero” but this is definitely my favorite one!!
Keep up the awesome work guys 🔥
This might be my favorite video because of all the behind the scenes. I love seeing all the aspects of how you gameplan the cover and execute it. Great job on the song as well!
One of my fave vids! I love seeing/hearing the thoughts that went it o making the song.
INCREDIBLE!! I LOVE pop punk Taylor covers and yours are ALWAYS my favorite!!!
I love this concept! You guys killed it as usual!
That was amazing! You guys are so great at doing your own version. Just awesome! Please put it on Spotify.
Loved it. For having just listening to it 1 time? You killed it. Would love to see a second verison of a fully thought-out, well-planned version. That could be sick.
So cool to see the thought process behind the song AS you're listening to it. Calling out the chord progressions and changes at what points. Starts and stops, critical changes, bridges, potential double time additions. So much good stuff...but to do all that after listening to it once is getting a little bit out of hand. I mean, you're just killing this stuff!
This is great, amazing insight into the process you guys go through, what a jam in the end
This was so amazing, ty for taking us through the process and giving us a glimpse of what goes down!!
You are an absolutely brilliant musician!
This is incredible!! I love the look into the process. You are phenomenal.
Really enjoyed it, especially the variations on "It's me, hi" from the cute wave to the burning shirt grab. Amazing version, would not have believed it was a cover.
This was great. You guys are so talented and seeing the writing process was very interesting and entertaining
This was so cool to see and as usual, I love fyour cover version! Hope to see this cover on Spotify!
Been a fan since the beginning and I’ve loved listening and watching your music progress! Very impressive stuff Alex, I envy your dedication
Fabulous cover!!! You both are amazing! 🔥
That was a lot of fun to watch! I love that the video took us through the process. Thank you both.
great cover as usual! Love seeing the process, keep up the great work.
This must be uploaded in the music apps! Simply amazing!
It's so cool seeing the creative process at work. Great results as well!
cool to see your process! keep up the awesome covers!
This is definitely one of my favorite videos. The creative process has always been my favorite part of music
Such a good idea! I'd love to see more of these! OR covering the song with no listens and just seeing the lyrics.
I have been WAITING for this!! Amazing!
This concept is great, would love to see more of these videos of the process, even if it's not necessarily just after one listen. Would also like to see a standalone version of the finished project.
love this. more videos of you guys figuring out covers would be awesome.
This is so good! It's crazy you guys remembered the vocal melodies so well after only one listen!
Really enjoyed seeing a bit of the process and the cover is cracking. Great job
This is just sick bro! Nicely done once again!
Excellent. Just so great, nicely done. Always love your videos Alex, all the best.
This is awesome. Great idea and great video!
Brilliant. Thanks guys. Inspiring. Wish I could do what you do!!!
The amount of talent here is just mesmerizing. Good stuff gents. Thanks. ✌️
Haven't heard the original yet--but this is fantastic! Loved seeing a bit of the process in creating your covers. Now off to listen to the source material--a d will likely then revisit this one!
This approach was really cool to watch. I love the breakdown...more so, the process to get to the final product. More of these! ;)
Amazing! Loved the journey to the final product. Way better than just watching a cover.
Love to see y’all getting the number call outs! You guys were quick and on them!
Alex, thank you for the behind the scenes work. Another great cover.
Hecka inspiring! Thanks for what you do!
This was incredibly fun to watch!!!
Crap day, feeling down. Come back to this after a week from first hearing it, and immediately get a boost from this. Please chuck this on Spotify so I can blast it out of my car!
I thoroughly enjoyed this different take on how you do things
killin it!! loved the whole video and process behind it
Great work guys. Trully impressive how you guys changed The song for a different style and it still sounds so nice. This is called talent.
This is actually my favorite song right now. This version melts. Cool cool cool.
This was amazing!!! loved the cover
FN nailed it! Loved the two time & that sweet brake in the bridge. As always Amazing stuff man! \m/
I love the workflow explanation!
I'm watching this as I eat my breakfast and I just caught myself straight up vibing to this. Full on desk dancing😂
Just added your whole page to my playlist! This cover is killer!
Wow this is so good!! I love your version. Someone needs to send this to Taylor forreal!
This is AMAZING. I’m so beyond impressed you were able to do all of this with only hearing the song once. Major talent!!! Loved the video 🥰🥰
This is so cool. Well done!!!
Please put this on Spotify! I really appreciated getting to see the creative process that you guys had during and immediately after listening to the song for the first time. I'm also a musician and it was fun to hear your commentary on the song, as they're a lot of interesting things I noticed when listening the first time or two! The ending of Anti-Hero is especially fun, given that it doesn't end on the tonic. Y'all did a great cover, can't wait to hear more!
Love the insight into the process
Sick! Seeing the process is neat.
i love this video! i have watched it many many times... for the first time today i have just noticed the producer joining in the the air drums at 10.37 hahahah love it
