Watch Taylor Swift Cover Mumford & Sons on Their Home Turf

By Zach Dionne Posted Apr 6th 2011 04:15PM

Taylor Swift recently took to the BBC and proved she can do more than pop-friendly country, capably covering indie darlings Mumford & Sons.

The 21-year-old American's soft, somber take on the British group's 'White Blank Page' is a worthwhile watch for fans of Taylor, Mumford, or just, y'know, good music. The banjo is intact, and we're realizing for the first time how in touch with country Mumford & Sons might actually be.

Check it out:

Of course no story about a Taylor Swift cover song would be complete without PopEater's own take on an imaginary Taylor/Jake Gyllenhaal breakup tune. Relive the magic:

horrible. just because someone else is playing a banjo doesnt mean that your cover version is good. also, until mumford and sons put out a country album there is no way they can be considered country either. folk yes, country no way.

this was terrible, she should stick to singing her pop-country songs that are all about unrequited love and leave good music alone

Taylor should Not have won Enterainer of the YEAR, Carrie Underwood has a much better voice by far....
