After Ryan Adams released his song-for-song cover of Taylor Swift's album 1989 on Monday, Father John Misty followed suit by releasing covers of Swift's "Blank Space" and "Welcome to New York," performed in the style of the Velvet Underground. The songs soon, however, disappeared from Father John Misty's Soundcloud. Some speculated that Swift was responsible, but her camp denies that; in fact, Father John Misty has explained that he deleted the tracks because Lou Reed appeared to him in a dream and said, "Delete those tracks, don't summon the dead, I am not your plaything. The collection of souls is an expensive pastime."
