Teddy Swims has left Taylor Swift haters totally surprised with his amazing live acoustic cover of “Cruel Summer.” People who weren’t big fans of Taylor before were shocked to realize just how powerful her lyrics are when sung in Teddy’s relaxed, acoustic style.
Many listeners who don’t usually follow Taylor Swift’s music had to rethink their playlists after hearing Teddy’s beautiful version of her hit song. He performed it during an incredible session at BBC Live Lounge, and fans were blown away by his talent. You can watch his awesome cover below!
But what’s better than watching an artist perform live in a cozy venue? Well, an unexpected surprise performance might just top that! That’s exactly what happened a few weeks ago when Teddy Swims showed up out of nowhere at a small pub in Dublin called O’Regans. The surprise singalong happened before his second concert at the 3Olympia, and lucky for the crowd, many of his fans were already there to enjoy the moment.
A video of Teddy’s surprise performance has gone viral, getting over a million views in just a month! In the clip, Teddy stands next to a piano in the crowded pub, with everyone watching him closely and grabbing their phones to record the unforgettable moment. As the pianist plays some cool bluesy chords, Teddy’s deep, soulful voice fills the pub, and he sings his famous song, “The Door,” giving it everything he’s got.
But that wasn’t all! Teddy also treated the crowd to “Lose Control,” another one of his hits from his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy. Both songs had the same bluesy feel that his fans love so much. Once the video was uploaded online, people flooded the comments with praise, calling Teddy’s performance unforgettable. Fans also loved how down-to-earth he was, taking time out of his busy tour schedule to sing for them. Even the pub’s host, Alex, shared his excitement online, saying it was an “absolute pleasure” to have Teddy perform there.
This wasn’t the first time Teddy wowed audiences with his live performances. He’s known for singing perfectly every time and always bringing tons of passion to his shows. One great example is his live version of “Lose Control,” which was filmed professionally and posted on YouTube in 2023. Wearing a stylish trench coat with a shirt and tie, Teddy looked sharp and totally nailed the performance. His powerful voice and incredible control left viewers in awe.
These performances prove that Teddy Swims is truly one of the best singers and songwriters out there in 2024. His strong, soulful voice reminds people of classic male soul singers from the 1960s and 1970s. Add that to his unique style, and you’ve got an artist who stands out from the crowd. “It would be a federal CRIME if he kept this iconic voice to himself!” one fan commented on his live performance of “Lose Control”—and honestly, we couldn’t agree more!
