Swift—who recorded the joke track "Thug Story" with T-Pain (sample lyric: "I'm so gangster you can find me baking cookies at night / You out clubbing but I just made caramel delight") and once provided her best Nicki Minaj impression for a radio interview—turned to an interesting song for cover material last week: Eminem.



Swift broke into an acoustic version of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" at a July 28 concert in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It's considerably less menacing when strummed out on Taylor's sparkly guitar, but we have to hand it to her: She knows how to have fun with it.
