Teddy Swims has left Taylor Swift haters confused with a live acoustic cover of “Cruel Summer”. Listeners were shocked to hear how meaningful Taylor’s lyrics were in this chilled out acoustic setting.
Fans who normally don’t listen to a Taylor Swift had to rethink their playlists after Teddy reworked her hit song in this brilliant BBC Live Lounge session. Watch his cover below:
What’s the one thing that’s better than a scheduled live performance by an incredible singer in an intimate venue?
One answer to this might be an impromptu performance by the same singer, a sentiment echoed by many Teddy Swims fans a few weeks ago when the American singer-songwriter unexpectedly turned up to perform at a Dublin pub called O’Regans.
The impromptu singalong came ahead of Teddy’s second gig at the 3Olympia, hence there were lots of his fans around to appreciate the performance.

The video of Teddy’s surprise rendition which has reached over a million views in just one month shows the singer standing next to the piano in the packed pub, with all eyes on him and lots of people getting their phones out in anticipation of filming the event.
Once the pianist has got some cool, upbeat blues chords going, Teddy starts to sing, his passionate husky voice ringing out over the pub as he gives everything he’s got to a performance of his renowned single ‘The Door’.
Teddy also sang ‘Lose Control’, another track with similar bluesy vibes released as a single from his debut album ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy’.
Since the video of the performance has been uploaded, fans have flocked to praise Teddy’s performance as well as his down to earth attitude, given the fact he took time out of his busy schedule to give fans a once in a lifetime experience.
Regan’s host Alex, meanwhile, took to social media saying it was an “absolute pleasure” to watch the singer.
This isn’t the first time Teddy has delivered a blistering live performance either; in fact, he is renowned for his note-perfect live vocals and his passionate performances.
One such example of this comes courtesy of one of the singer’s live renditions of ‘Lose Control’, which was filmed professionally and uploaded to YouTube in 2023.
Looking slick and smart in a trench coat with a shirt and tie, Teddy absolutely nails the performance, showing off the incredible control he has over his vocals.
Both of these videos should leave you in no doubt that Teddy Swims is one of the greatest singers and songwriters on the music scene in 2024.
His powerful, bluesy vocals are a real throwback to male soul singers of the 1960s and 1970s, something that, when paired with Teddy’s iconic style, renders him a truly distinctive artist whose image and music combine together perfectly.
“It would be a federal CRIME if he kept this iconic voice to himself!” commented one viewer on the video of Teddy’s live performance of ‘Lose Control’ and we couldn’t agree more!

My daughter used my pension money for a seaside trip and came home cheerful, assuming I’d be waiting to ask her for help. I didn’t argue, and I didn’t beg.

I asked about the date of my son’s wedding, and my daughter-in-law said casually, “We got married yesterday.

I took a breath and replied calmly, “Didn’t I tell you already?” And from that moment on, the expectations and boundaries between us quietly shifted.

“I just want to check my balance,” I said at the bank. The man behind me let out a small laugh, making assumptions based on the way I looked.

I simply thanked her, put my card away, and walked out calmly, while the whole room quietly adjusted to the truth that “simple” doesn’t mean “struggling.”

Every night, my wife would check on our son after I’d fallen asleep. I tried to brush it off, but the smart-home alerts kept popping up, so one evening I reviewed the activity log from the hallway sensor. I wasn’t looking for drama, I just wanted to understand. What I found was a quiet routine, a worry she’d been carrying on her own, and a truth about our family I’d missed for months. By morning, the whole house felt different.

I met my daughter-in-law’s family dressed plainly, letting them assume I was just an “ordinary mom.” I never told my son about my $40,000-a-month income because I prefer to live quietly. At that dinner, I wanted to see how they would treat someone they believed had nothing. But the moment I walked through the door, the attitude in the room told me exactly what I needed to know.
For years, I never told my son the truth about my money, not because I was ashamed of it, but…
