Hanson's Taylor Swift "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" Acoustic Cover [LISTEN]
The Hanson bros played an awesome acoustic rendition of Taylor Swift's new breakup song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" during a recent visit to Australia's Fifi and Jules radio show. Although brothers Taylor, Isaac, and Zac have been largely out of the Hollywood limelight since their 1997 hit "MMMBop," their smooth Swift cover caught the attention of the "Love Story" songstress herself. The country starlet tweeted on Wednesday: @taylorswift13: "1) Hanson covered 'We Are Never Getting Back Together'. 2) I didn't just watch the video of it 8 times in a row. 3) #2 might be a lie."

Even popular celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton called the tune "AH-Mazing!"
"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is Swift's first single off of her upcoming album "Red." It was released on Aug. 13 and reached the no 1 spot on Billboard's Top 100. The song became iTunes' fastest-selling digital single, selling 623,000 copies in just one week (the biggest digital sales week ever for a song by a woman in history).
Hanson's latest album was 2010's "Shout it Out." Since the boys' huge 1990s commercial success, all three have gone off to get married and focus on family life. But looks like they still know how to rock it, considering much of the positive feedback they've gotten from the Swift cover.
