'Young Sheldon' Star's 'Hauntingly Beautiful' Taylor Swift Cover Shocks Fans
Young Sheldon alum Mckenna Grace's "hauntingly beautiful" take on an emotional track has left fans in shock. The 18-year-old recently posted a cover of the Eras Tour superstar's "Nothing New," one of the vault tracks released with her rerecorded version of Red. It details the worries of a young woman in the age and appearance-obsessed entertainment industry, calling out the hypocrisy Swift faced as a teenager in the spotlight. The same track was recently covered by the artist known as Role Model—his performance drew mixed reactions from Swifties, who demanded to know, "what does a man know about" this? Grace's cover, however, drew high praise from fans. "Uh oh we have a double threat over here 😌," one wrote of the actress, while someone else predicted her casting in a highly anticipated—though currently postponed—live-action Disney remake. "She will play Rapunzel mark my words," they declared. "Oh wow that's actually a hauntingly beautiful cover," another Swiftie admitted, while another newcomer to Grace's talent replied, "beautiful voice, I loved it 😍." Many were unfamiliar with the former child star, with one wondering, "Who is this diva?" and another suggesting, "I might have to stan," after hearing the cover. Meanwhile, those who've seen her in countless of their favorite shows and movies over the years, from Once Upon a Time's Young Emma to Amazon's Troop Zero, quipped, "imagine not knowing her." Fans of the up-and-coming singer encouraged those unfamiliar with her to "go check her music too," emphasizing, "shes really talented 😁." "Her own music is so good, too!" another fan agreed. "Y'all should check it out." Grace's debut album, Bittersweet 16, was released in 2023. She also has several singles and and the Autumn Leaves EP under her belt.
