I'm a struggling musician and I'm wondering how I can cover popular songs without having to pay royalties or even acknowledging that I'm covering popular songs.

You can choose to only record and upload your covers of popular songs onto streaming or internet platforms that do not require a copyright. Additionally, you could modify the arrangement or elements of the songs in such a way that it is significantly distinct from the original version. This may allow you to be able to publish and perform your own covers without the need of owing any royalties. However, you must ensure that the alterations you make to the popular song do not infringe any copyright regulations.
