In a unique collaboration, Triple M has teamed up with a selection of Australian rock artists to cover songs by pop sensation Taylor Swift. This initiative comes as a prelude to Swift's highly anticipated Australian tour.

Iconic Australian artists involved in this project include Paul Kelly, Ian Moss (pictured), The Screaming Jets, Sarah McLeod, Diesel, and Birds of Tokyo.

These covers, known as the Triple M Versions, will be released each weekday from 5 February to 14 February. The songs can be heard on the Triple M Breakfast show or by streaming Triple M live on LiSTNR. The first song to be released is a cover of 'Anti-Hero' by Paul Kelly on 5 February. Other songs to be covered include 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together', 'Wildest Dreams', 'This Is Me Trying', 'Style', 'Blank Space', 'You’re on Your Own, Kid', and 'I Knew You Were Trouble'. The Triple M Versions can be heard across the entire Triple M network.

Dave Gleeson, Host of Triple M Nights and lead singer of The Screaming Jets, shared his excitement about the project, "Taking on the challenge of covering Taylor Swift’s banger We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and fusing it with the sound of The Screaming Jets was a blast. Reimagining this song for Triple M was an unexpected start to 2024, but the outcome is something that our Triple M listeners can 100% get on board with."

Matthew OReilly, Head of Triple M Metro Content, also expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, "The Triple M Versions are an outstanding collaboration of some of Australia’s best rock artists with some of the world’s most popular songs, resulting in something completely unique to Triple M and Australia. We are pumped to present these never-before-heard covers and join the celebrations of the Australian leg of Taylor Swift’s iconic tour."

This collaboration is a unique blend of genres and a celebration of music that is sure to excite both rock and pop fans alike. It's a testament to the versatility of these artists and their ability to take on the challenge of reimagining popular songs in their unique style. As we anticipate Swift's Australian tour, these covers offer a fresh take on her hits and a unique way to celebrate her music.
