The country western singer Taylor Swift recently decided to try her hand at rapping Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ while on American radio and the result was pretty terrible. Diehard Eminem fans should probably avoid this…

While being interviewed for the Danger Show Froggy on Radio Pittsburgh, 23-year-old Taylor decided she’d cover ‘Lose Yourself’. Taylor Swift fans will probably like it, but we can’t say the same for everyone else…

So, yeah… It was pretty terrible. In fairness to Taylor, the singing part sounds a lot better than her rapping, but still, ‘Lose Yourself’ was never meant to be sung like that and that’s how it should have stayed.

It’s not the first time Taylor attempted covering ‘Lose Yourself’ and it probably won’t be the last either…
