Taylor Swift performed Can’t Stop Loving You (written by Billy and recorded by Phil Collins) in New York on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in September 2019. “The type of love that this song sings about is unconditional love,” Taylor explained. “I think true, unconditional love is like, do you love someone so much that you would even love them if they didn’t love you anymore? That’s what this song sings about. It’s literally the most sad, beautiful song ever.”
