Ryan Hurd has released a special live cover of Taylor Swift’s “False God,” a song off her latest Lover album. 

Hurd’s rendition blends his signature country and soft-rock sound with the dark, mystic vibe of Swift’s original cut. The accompanying visual features footage from Hurd’s recent headlining Platonic Tour, where he performed “False God” alongside hit songs “To A T,” “Diamond or Twine,” “Love in a Bar” and more. 

Swift herself couldn’t contain her excitement when the country singer shared the video and cover of his “favorite song off of Lover” with fans. “Love this so much 🙏,” the pop superstar replied.
