The country singer seized the opportunity to not only thank Swift for her support, but share the moment with his fans.

It’s no surprise that Taylor Swift’s voice works so well in a country setting — it is her home genre, after all! From the Chicks to Chris Stapleton to Tim McGraw, Swift’s country collaborations keep the genre close to her heart, no matter where else music takes her.

Maren Morris, “You All Over Me””,”photo-description”:”

Swift journeyed once more back to her country roots with “You All Over Me,” a ballad that’s one of six “From the Vault” tracks on Fearless (Taylor’s Version). Maren Morris’ backing vocals are pretty sparse on this recording, limited to gentle accompaniment to Swift’s melody line in the chorus and second verse. Still, it’s a sweet throwback to Swift’s Nashville beginnings.

“I Saw The Light,” released in September 1948, was one of the first songs Hank Williams recorded after being signed by MGM Records. Clyde Grubbs recorded his version for RCA, which came out in August 1947.

The country hymn wasn’t a commercial success when it debuted; however, it became one of Williams’ most well-known songs and has been covered more than 150 times by artists, including Willie Nelson and Hank Williams’ son, Hank Williams, Jr.
