With the imminent arrival of Taylor Swift to Australia for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, it’s fair to say that Swift fever has struck Down Under, and even our Aussie rockers are not immune. In a special tribute to Swift, Triple M has collaborated with some of Australia’s preeminent rock artists who have covered some of her greatest hits for the exclusive and highly anticipated Triple M Versions.

In what is a legendary roll call of Aussie music greats, including Paul Kelly, Ian Moss, The Screaming Jets, Sarah McLeod, Diesel and Birds of Tokyo, the Triple M Versions are an extraordinary melding of quintessential Aussie rock with exceptional Taylor Swift songs.

Kicking off on Monday 5 February, with a new cover dropping each weekday until Wednesday 14 February, fans can only catch the songs by tuning in to the Triple M Breakfast show in their local city or by streaming Triple M live on LiSTNR.

The Triple M Versions – First Spin:

Host of Triple M Nights and lead singer of The Screaming Jets, Dave Gleeson, said: “Taking on the challenge of covering Taylor Swift’s banger We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and fusing it with the sound of The Screaming Jets was a blast. Reimagining this song for Triple M was an unexpected start to 2024, but the outcome is something that our Triple M listeners can 100% get on board with.”

Head of Triple M Metro Content, Matthew OReilly​, said: “The Triple M Versions are an outstanding collaboration of some of Australia’s best rock artists with some of the world’s most popular songs, resulting in something completely unique to Triple M and Australia. We are pumped to present these never-before-heard covers and join the celebrations of the Australian leg of Taylor Swift’s iconic tour.”

The Triple M Versions can be heard across the entire Triple M network and by streaming Triple M live on LiSTNR.
