This gave me goosebumps. The emotion in his voice is powerful. As a Taylor fan I think this stripped back version shows off her song writing and Music really well. Amazing cover Dermot!

Written by one of the best writers in history, covered by one of the rarest voice in history the emotion he puts into the song. 👌🏿✔️❤️

his low notes are so incredible! there's no strain on his voice when he does it and its just perfect!

Dermot's voice will always give me chills. It's perfect.

Taylor's really good at taking sad songs and making them upbeat to give the lyrics a lighter feeling, but this, yeah....This rendition is soul crushingly beautiful.

OMG this version is amazing and so touching🥺

Nailed it! What a talent. What a voice. Perfection. Never ceases to amaze with his talent and range. We all can relate to Dermot.

First time I heard Dermot was when he sang another Taylor Swift song on this same channel. His voice and artistry elevate the songs he covers to new heights.

I play this almost every day, I am addicted to it. I Love his voice. It feels like an old friend and comforts me when I am lonely. I appreciate his music with every fiber of my being.

The way he screams at the chorus its really him. Very distinctive Only HIM can do that! 💜

He brings such emotion to every single song, could never get tired....

This voice. The choir supporting this incredibly wonderful voice. Everything is just perfect in this cover.

I am obsessed with this rendition. I cannot get over it.❤️🥺😭👏🏽

When people cover her songs it reminds what a great lyricist she truly is.

Dermot Kennedy is one of those wonderful artists who sound as beautiful live as they do on recorded music. I love everything of his that I have ever heard.

wow the emotions here are displayed through his voice clearly, beautiful cover

Everytime he sings the chorus, it makes me cry for some reason. God, his voice!!! 😭

Effortless,ridiculous,magnificent!!! How does he keep doing it!! One of our own 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Never appreciated and enjoyed an artist's art as much as i love and appreciate what dermot does, since i discovered dermot 3 years ago I've been listening to his music everyday morning and night, i ease my panic attacks and anxiety with his songs, most remomable one when i had an accident in the highway and still had to drive back to my hometown and had a bad panic attack and played without fear album all the way back and find ease and peace through it, I can't wait to listen to sonder over and over again and not get sick of it just like his old songs and album,never got sick of them! He is so precious and what makes him even more special, how genuiely humble he is about how unique he is 🥰 much love from marrakech!

Taylor's version make the lyrics sound almost sweet, this cover reminded me how deep and have the massage is.

I never heard of him but jesus what a voice! And such a perfonal cover... honestly just flawless. Amazing talent 🖤

i didn’t relate to the lyrics so much listening to Taylor’s version, but now.. i’ve discovered how deep and dark they are. Taylor and Dermote are truly talented 🥲💔 (btw i didn’t know this singer before so i guess i’ll go and search for him)

This is an an amazing cover. You can feel the emotions.

i LOVE dermont his voice his style just pure perfection hes up there with ELTON, Billy joel, Calum Scott , Dave Gahan.. PURE PERFECT singer!!!!!!!!!!

His voice. So heartfelt and pure raw vocals. Love ya

Wow, ive actually never heard of this singer but his voice, emotion and technique really impressed me. I’ll definitely need to check out his music now

Taylor's Swifts song writing shines even more so when people cover her songs.

amazing!!!! i can't help but feel if most of Taylor's music wasn't released by HER, people would call her songs genius. Unfortunately some are so dead set on hating her or calling her untalented despite her remarkable ability to song write. loved this rendition.

The way he puts his hand on his chest while singing, as if to ease and slowly release the pain.

Just beautiful! Real artists like him always know that Taylor’s one of the best artists and such a real talent, that real talents gravitate towards each other!

Apart from his amazing voice, props to the backup singers, they are also fantastic!

I’ve watched this 10 times and it brings a tear to my eye every time. So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ Well done Dermot Kennedy 👏🏼 👏🏼

Dermot's voice is smooth like butter! I can't get enough of this version now 😍

I got drunk two nights ago and sang along to this song all night. My voice is torn to shit today. Very unique style. Love it

Absolutely brilliant! Taylor provides the amazing lyrics and he brings new life to them. X

The first time I understood this song emotionally. That totally picked me up.....

this week was pretty tough, so i needed a good cry to let it out. then boom. walking home from a bus stop and crying to this cover. healing

A poetic confession of trying and failing to cast aside the anxiety of rejection and the wrath of exterior and interior judgments.

Dermot Kennedy you are incredibly amazing. A one of a kind voice, thank you for sharing!!!

Okay but this is one of the best covers of any song I’ve seen ever! His voice is incredible I’M OBSESSED!!!!

Is it only me who thinks the backing vocals are really good? They sound beautiful. Why nobody talks bout them? 🌹🌹🌹 and Demot, you never fail to amaze me!!

He could sing the yellow pages and I'd keep that ish on replay!!! Idk why I love everything he covers so much more than the original.

Beautiful cover

Chills! He is etheral, unreal just incredible

Now that's a voice. Unique, powerful, gritty and emotional.

A beautiful cover! He's an artist who puts his emotions into every song. His songs always touch me. Thank you for sharing your feelings and personality with your fans 🙏🙏🙏

I’m such a big fan he helped me through so many tough days. I went threw depression when I missed him In australia I pray he comes back he and his voice are beautiful god bless ❤❤

Verse 1] I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser Midnights become my afternoons When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room [Pre-Chorus] I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming (For the last time) Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero [Verse 2] Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city Pierced through the heart, but never killed [Pre-Chorus] Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman? A tail as old as time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving And life will lose all its meaning (For the last time) [Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me) At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero Bridge] I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money She thinks I left them in the will The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out "She's laughing up at us from Hell" [Breakdown] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi Everybody agrees, everybody agrees Chorus] It's me, hi (Hi) I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me) At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees) I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Dermot sings everything with such heart. Although it's hard to sing that "sexy baby" line and keep it emotional.

From Taylor's Lover and now Anti-Hero Dermot. This is craaaazy !!!!! 🔥🥺

😍 When he sings ‘✨ it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti hero’ ✨

This is absolutely beautiful 😭

Dermot really did such a fantastic job with this version of Taylor Swift. His voice is amazing and really makes those perfect lyrics stand out!

My two favourite things - Dermot & Taylor. He's the only person I'm happy to see a Taylor Swift cover from - such a beautiful rendition!

Never stops blowing me away ❤

That rasp in his voice never gets old.

One of very few musician's who actually cares about his music! 🇮🇪

He just never fails been listening to him on KZfaq since before he got famous watching him blow up in fam is just amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love this guy he's always amazing 👏 ❤️

How amazing. What a version.

This just knocks ya completely off your feet 👏👏👏👏👏

Dermot has a beautiful voice and seems very humble...and these powerful words make me very emotional.... amazing....

Yesss. When I listened to this song the lyrics hit me but him sing has hit me out of the ball park.

Everything he sings is the best thing I've ever heard. No one close to him

Sounds like it could have been one of his own songs! Really made it his own. Wow

Possibly the best cover done at live lounge!

The talent coming out of Ireland at the moment is incredible

Shoutout from Oslo Norway Dermot Kennedy🇧🇻 your fu..ing voice man it kills me everytime🤩 much love.

I have watched this multiple times a day since it came out... goosebumps every time

We NEED a feat of these two 🙏🏻

We need a Dermot and Taylor duet!! 🙏🏻🤩🤩♥️

First discovered him when he sang Lover on BBC In ‘18 or ‘19, crazy how far he’s come

I've never heard any song from Dermot.. but i really love his vocal..

I never realized how sad this song was until this guy sang it.

WHAT on earth how turns everything he touches into gold?!?!

This should have a million views !!! I might get him there lol on repeat alllll day ❤❤❤❤❤

Can't wait to see this man again next year

Heard a mash up of this with the original on the radio. Mnm in Belgium. Can't find it anywhere it was glorious.

Still leaving Spotify to come over and hear this gold!! DK Delivers, always!

I absolutely love this guy. The emotion in his voice is so touching 💜 I could listen to him alday.

This makes the song even sadder and I love it!!!!

The vocal phrasing is flawless. This song has some words that don't sing well but Dermot makes it like satin. Very nice cover.

A combination of two of my favorite artists. Perfection ❤️

Came here looking for "antihero as a tragic Irish ballad" and was not disappointed!!

The tone of ur voice 😍

Such a beautiful and gritty voice. True magic.

i really like this version. keep on repeating it. this version needs more exposure. so perfect.

My favorite song of these days connected with my the most favorite Singer. Just wow!

Need this on a streaming service, incredible cover.

I was just privileged to hear him singing live. We need this kind of artist more than most of mainstream singers out there

So ein toller Performer, und, ich kenne Ihn nicht,aber wohl ein toller Mensch, vermutlich. Seine Musik spricht für Ihn!

This version increase the value of this song. I mean this lyrics is so powerful. With this emotion it was uncovered. Thank you for this❤ good job.

I think I just fell in love with his voice 😍

I am not a “swifty” but Taylor is a lyrical genius. Dermots voice is exquisite with this amazing son.

two of my favorite artists! taylor swift and dermot kennedy is a combination i never knew i needed.

The best - a classic Live Lounge 💚💚

For some reason I can't live without him. My uncle came to visit and told me not to complain.

No ADS thank you!!!! 💕✨✨✨✨

Wow That was amazing. That’s what singing should be. Raw emotion in song.

"Anti-Hero" I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser Midnights become my afternoons When my depression works the graveyard shift All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices, I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming (For the last time) It's me Hi I'm the problem, it's me At teatime Everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill Too big to hang out Slowly lurching toward your favorite city Pierced through the heart but never killed Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman?
