#FlashbackFriday To Dan + Shay’s Emotional, Stunning Cover Of Taylor Swift’s Heartbreak Hit “Back To December”

This #FlashbackFriday post is not taking us back very far. I am heading back to October, 2025 when Dan + Shay surprised their fans by recording, producing, and releasing their beautiful, emotional, stunning piano cover of Taylor Swift’s heartbreak song “Back To December” within one week.

It all started on October 10 when the duo took to their social media accounts to announce that they were going to be on their way to put down their vocals for the track that day. They let fans in on some footage from the recoding studio, kept them updated on the producing progress via video clips throughout the weekend and week. By October 17, their rendition of the song was released out into the world.

To this day, I am still incredibly impressed at how fast they got the piano recording out to their fans. It usually takes months for the duo to complete the whole music making progress. As I continue to listen to Dan + Shay’s rendition of this song, I cannot tell that it only took one week for them to release the song. It does not feel rushed; it feels like they spent months getting the finalized version out. That is how incredibly talented they both are. They truly care about making every detail in their recordings perfect.

Please enjoy this video of the guys recording the song in the studio again courtesy of their YouTube channel! 🎶
