  • One of my favorite Taylor Swift songs from probably her best album Folklore. Yes, that might be controversial - we can discuss. Hope you enjoy!

    Bro you can't do this... I'm trying to be a responsible successful adult, approaching 30. This song cover just regressed my emotional state 15 years. Suddenly i'm a heart broken teenager in emotional distress again. My wife is like, "babe are you okay?"... No I'm not okay and nobody understands me! You got me reliving my "its not a faze" faze 5 minutes at a time. 😂 Got me needing Jesus when I already got him!🤣
    100% Great song cover! One of your best works to date!
    P.S. when people ask me who my favorite current secular artist is, I say Alex Melton.
    Thanks for all the great work bro!
