Taylor Swift and Butch Walker's Grammys Collab Spawned From Viral Video
This past November, after announcing a residency at LA's Hotel Cafe, Butch Walker asked fans to request songs he should cover via Twitter.
The first night of the residency spawned a fun cover of Taylor Swift's hit, "You Belong With Me," which was the #1 request from fans. Later that night, Walker recorded his own banjolin-based version of the song, filmed a making-of video and posted the results on his Youtube channel.
