On Thursday morning, singer-songwriter Ryan Adams posted a very exciting picture to his social media accounts.
The picture read, "Taylor Swift 1989 full album cover night 1. As played by the Smiths."

Naturally, everyone wondered if Adams really is recording an entire Swift cover album. He assured fans it was real by posting more photos from the session, like this one featuring lyrics from Swift's "Blank Space."
And promised fans his cover of "Welcome to New York" will be the "saddest ever."
Fans were super excited.
I guess @TheRyanAdams wasn't kidding about a song for song remake of 1989? Please let this see the light of day https://t.co/gd3eEcXY9j
And said they couldn't wait to hear his covers.
@TheRyanAdams FFUUUCCKKK... Are you actually doing it?!
But one fan was REALLY stoked — Swift herself. She asked Adams on Twitter if the rumor was true after seeing tweets about it, writing, "I WILL PASS OUT."
Apparently @TheRyanAdams is recording cover versions of every song on @taylorswift13's 1989. Give me something good! https://t.co/IUwwFd6PP7
She got a immediate response from Adams saying it was true, and complimenting her on her "badass tunes."
Yes. Just finished Style. Badass tunes, Taylor. : ) We're sandblasting them and they're holding steady https://t.co/UaCOrnoVt7
She felt the way we all do. "Cool I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight or ever again and I'm going to celebrate today every year as a holiday. I'M CALM."
@TheRyanAdams Cool I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight or ever again and I'm going to celebrate today every year as a holiday. I'M CALM
Adams even shared a clip of his version of "Welcome to New York," and it's amazing.
Welcome to NY @taylorswift13
Safe to say, this is all of us right now.
