I never though I could love Taylor Swift so much. I'm a little late jumping on the 1989 bandwagon here, but alas, I'm getting on it. I've been listening to the album all weekend, but the catch is... it wasn't Taylor Swift I was listening to.

I have never ever been a Swift fan, and I never thought I would be. My best friend Kyle swore by her 1989 album, and, after I finally gave it a listen... I actually did find that through the pop, I was actually able to identify with a lot of the songs (damn it, Taylor!).

Ex angst? 'Bad Blood.'

Infatuated with someone new, but you know it's going to go downhill? 'Wildest Dreams.'

This is all so hard for me to admit, so when Ryan Adams covered her 1989 album, it made my life so much easier! I could still listen to her songs that I enjoy, but with Ryan Adams' alternative rock edge. It took all the guilt out of my guilty pleasure.

For real, guys. It's the ultimate loophole.

Give it a listen here, and tell me you don't love it.
