Keith Urban is a Taylor Swift an who keeps up with her songs for the most part. The "We Were" singer did another live human jukebox video on Facebook on Wednesday (Aug. 7) and tried to cover "You Need to Calm Down," the country-turned-pop-star's newest hit.
It went alright. Urban's Swift cover came out of a cover of a Katy Perry song and was the only song that wasn't requested by fans watching him live. The beat and chords were there, and Urban knew most of the chorus. His version includes a confession that he wasn't totally sure what Swift's lyrics are, but hey, at least we know it's really live!
