The comedian also joked, “A lot of people thought you recorded this album ironically, and yet you did not,” to which Adams just responded, “Yes.” Watch his tributes to “Bad Blood,” “Style” and “Blank Space” below: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4059287/daily-show-trevor-noah-ryan-adams-taylor-swift/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4059287/daily-show-trevor-noah-ryan-adams-taylor-swift/"},"headline":"Watch Ryan Adams Perform Taylor Swift Covers on The Daily Show","datePublished":"2015-10-02T15:07:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:30.889Z","description":"The singer-songwriter offered his renditions of \"Bad Blood,\" \"Style\" and \"Blank Space\"","url":"https://time.com/4059287/daily-show-trevor-noah-ryan-adams-taylor-swift/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
