Katie Crutchfield delivered her rendition of the record at Jason Sudeikis\u2019 annual Thundergong benefit<\/p>\n
\n\tWaxahatchee<\/a> stepped into the glitz and glam of \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d during a recent performance at Jason Sudeikis\u2019 annual Thundergong! benefit<\/a>. The musician born Katie Crutchfield covered the closing track from Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2018s latest album, leaning into the subtle country twang and storytelling. Crutchfield welcomed a special guest vocalist to the stage to take on Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s featured verse.<\/p>\n \n\tLast year, Crutchfield performed the Tortured Poets Department deep cut \u201cBut Daddy I Love Him\u201d during an appearance in Leeds Park. She also added one of the singer-songwriter\u2019s tracks to her pre-show playlist while on tour. In an interview with Pitchfork<\/a>, Crutchfield noted that she discovered the song after a friend sent it to her, asking if she\u2019d had a hand in writing it because of the similarity in style. She hadn\u2019t, but she\u2019s clearly drawn to the music.<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this year, Crutchfield released the collaborative album Snopcaps with her twin sister, Allison Crutchfield. \u201cThis feels like a classic indie-rock record, minus the pedal steel and other signifiers that rebranded Waxahatchee as a kind of New South country-rock project,\u201d Rolling Stone<\/a> wrote in a review of the record. \u201cThere\u2019s certainly no question that Waxahatchee is one of America\u2019s greatest rock bands. But the push and pull of styles here between two artists with different obsessions and skillsets \u2014 the mark of so many touchstone bands, sibling acts or otherwise \u2014 makes Snocaps an equally-compelling outfit.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tThe Life of a Showgirl <\/a>has only been out for a few weeks, so there are sure to be more cover renditions to come. Over the weekend, Bowling for Soup shared their version of \u201cActually Romantic\u201d<\/a> after receiving a similar note about sonic similarities. The band shared that they were sent two different messages saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know if BFS has plans for a cover song anytime soon, but Taylor\u2019s \u2018Actually Romantic\u2019 has you guys written all over it! I can literally hear you singing it when I listen!\u201d That was enough for them to take it on.<\/p>\n \n\tAnyone can be a showgirl if they put their mind to it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katie Crutchfield delivered her rendition of the record at Jason Sudeikis\u2019 annual Thundergong benefit Waxahatchee stepped into the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,2070,70637],"class_list":["post-126167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-taylor-swift","tag-waxahatchee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
