With Taylor Swift’s imminent arrival down under for The Eras Tour, Triple M is proving that Australian rockers are not immune from Swiftie fever.
In a tribute to Swift, Triple M has collaborated with some of Australia’s most well known rock artists to cover some of her hits for Triple M Versions.
Musicians involved include Paul Kelly, Ian Moss, The Screaming Jets, Sarah McLeod, Diesel and Birds of Tokyo.
Kicking off on Monday 5 February, with a new cover dropping each weekday until Wednesday 14 February, fans can catch the covers by tuning in to the Triple M Breakfast show in their local city or by streaming Triple M live on LiSTNR.
The schedule of covers is:
• Paul Kelly – Anti-Hero – Monday 5 February
• The Screaming Jets – We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together – Tuesday 6 February
• Sarah McLeod – Wildest Dreams – Wednesday 7 February

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.”
