Taylor Swift Praises Sabrina Carpenter's Cover of 'I Knew You Were Trouble': 'Wow She Nailed It'

Carpenter's rendition of the 2012 hit dropped Wednesday on Spotify — before she returns to Swift's Eras Tour as its opening act next year

Sabrina Carpenter has earned Taylor Swift's approval.

The 24-year-old pop star released a cover of Swift's 2012 hit "I Knew You Were Trouble" to Spotify on Wednesday, and the "Cruel Summer" performer posted to Instagram that night to praise Carpenter's stripped-down version.

"Well she nailed it," wrote Swift, 33, in an Instagram Story featuring the release's cover artwork.

Carpenter's rendition of "I Knew You Were Trouble" dropped as part of the Spotify Singles series on the streaming service — before she returns to Swift's Eras Tour as its opening act next year.

The "Nonsense" singer performed as the opening act for Swift's Eras Tour shows in Mexico over the summer. She'll continue supporting the "All Too Well" musician at her concerts in Argentina and Brazil next month, as well as next year in Asia and Australia.

The Work It actress has been a longtime fan of Swift's and covered her 2008 song "Picture to Burn" in the very first YouTube video ever uploaded to her account the following year.

In 2010, Carpenter wrote about attending one of the Grammy winner's shows on X (formerly Twitter). “The Taylor Swift concert was amazing, had so much fun I can’t wait to have a world tour someday like hers!” she wrote at the time, later resharing the post in June 2023 when she was announced as the opener for the Eras Tour, calling the opportunity a “dream come true.”

Ahead of their first shows together, Carpenter spoke with Rolling Stone at Lollapalooza and revealed her three favorite Swift albums. "1989 was a very special one for me, I would say Midnights and probably Folklore,” she told the publication.

Carpenter also discussed how excited she was to go on tour with Swift and learn from her as an artist. “Watching her is a masterclass in itself,” she said about the “Cardigan” singer. “Obviously, she’s very good with words. So I feel a lot more comfortable that I’m going into a situation with someone that I admire so much and I’m just gonna, like, study.”

Earlier this month, as Swift cheered on Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs game on Oct. 1, she had a handful of celebrity friends by her side, including Carpenter. The singers were seen sharing a hug as they made their way inside MetLife Stadium.
