Taylor Swift Covers Eminem 'Lose Yourself' AUDIO, '22' Singer Tributes 'Berzerk' Rapper
She helped make Nicki Minaj's Super Bass famous and now Taylor Swift covered another rap song she loves - Eminem's Lose Yourself.
The 23-year-old recently stopped by The Danger Show on Pittsburgh's Froggy Radio and sang Eminem's 2002 hit off his 8 Mile soundtrack. However, this isn't the first time that Swift paid tribute to the rapper since she also performed his song during her tour in 2011.
While Swift is known for belting out country tunes, she previously expressed her love for hip-hop and a desire to be a part of a rapper's song.
"I love hip-hop so much," Taylor told InStyle magazine in April. "Nobody wants to hear me rap but I'd sing a chorus for someone for sure. I would sign up for that in a heartbeat."
In 2011, Swift also expressed her love for Minaj's upbeat tune off her debut Pink Friday. During an appearance on a Nashville,Tenn. radio station, Swift requested Super Bass and said, "I've been listening to it on repeat and I really freak my friends out because I can recite every single lyric to the rap."

During her acceptance speech at the 2011 American Music Awards, a grateful Minaj included Swift. She later explained the reason she thanked the country crooner.
"At one point when Pink Friday was released I wasn't even going to put out Super Bass right away and then she tweeted about it and she was like, 'I love this song', and all of her fans went and bought it," Minaj told Access Hollywood. "Well, I have to thank her because if it wasn't for her just being open and honest about a new song she liked no one would know... her fan base would not have known about Super Bass."
