Ryan Adams is recording a '1989' covers album.

Last night, Ryan Adams revealed that his latest venture is recording a Smiths-style covers album of all the songs on Taylor Swift’s '1989' album. For reals! We all live in a world where this is a real thing that is really happening and I LOVE IT.

And so does Taylor if this tweet is anything to go by:

As per his last updates, Ryan has already finished recording 'Welcome To New York', 'Blank Space' and 'Style' - I hope he does all the bonus tracks too!

#1989 : ) Ready for night two. Stoked to dig in. So much going on in these songs. Truly a badass, thru & thru. XO pic.twitter.com/q4K3Vngw3y
