Taylor Swift reacts to Sabrina Carpenter's cover of 'I Knew You Were Trouble'
Taijuan MoormanTaylor Swift has lots of love for fellow songstress Sabrina Carpenter.
The Grammy award-winning singer, 33, praised Carpenter's cover of "I Knew You Were Trouble" for Spotify Singles on Wednesday.
"Well, she nailed it," Swift wrote in an Instagram story, sharing the cover with clapping and heart hand emojis.
Carpenter, 24, is opening for Swift on the first half of her Eras Tour international leg. The "Nonsense" singer began opening for Swift on Aug. 24, and will appear at stops in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, and Singapore through March.
Swift also released new takes on her own songs this week.
On Wednesday night, Swift released two new versions of "Cruel Summer": "Cruel Summer – Live from TS | The Eras Tour" (a recording from one of her shows at LA's SoFi Stadium that can be heard in her "Eras Tour" movie that released Thursday) and "Cruel Summer (LP Giobbi Remix)."
"What a truly mind blowing thing you've turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into," Swift posted on Instagram. "One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported Cruel Summer SO much, I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it. For old times sake, I’m releasing the live audio from the tour so we can all shriek it in the comfort of our homes and cars PLUS a brand new remix by @lpgiobbi."
"Cruel Summer" was Swift's "pride and joy" and her "favorite song" off her 2019 album, "Lover," she told a Pittsburgh crowd in June.
If the way that countless fans in stadiums across the U.S. screamed the song's bridge back to her is any indication, she's not the only one who considers "Cruel Summer" a favorite.
"All right, Los Angeles, we have arrived to the very first bridge of the evening," she says halfway through the performance. "Now, I have a question: Does anyone here know the lyrics to this bridge? Prove it!"
Both tracks, of course, are a part of Swift's epic "Eras Tour" movie setlist.
