SOAK - AKA Derry teenager Bridie Monds-Watson - has covered pop megastar Taylor Swift in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.
The brittle indie-folk upstart turned "Shake It Off" into a fragile, but still uplifting, track rife with piano gorgeousness.
Swift has - at the time of writing - sold over 1.2 million copies of her latest record 1989.
SOAK has also recently revealed the video for her own track "Shuvels", the B-side to recent single "B a noBody".
Watch the Live Lounge session below.
