Taylor Swift and T-Pain Thug Story: The Video

Tags: , , , , , ,

On last night’s CMT Music Awards (yeah, never heard of it either), country singer Taylor Swift and rapper T-Pain opened the show with a pre-taped video for “Thug Story,” which of course is a play on Taylor’s smash hit “Love Story.” Swift identifies herself as “T-Swizzle” in the video and raps “You can find me making cookies at night/You out clubbing? I just made caramel delights.” And therein lies the rub, people — when you combine “country” with “rap,” all you get is “crap.” Much like how combining “acid jazz” with the ancient form of Vietnamese stage opera “hát chèo” results in the unfortunate phonetic amalgamation “Ass Hat.” Some things just weren’t meant to be.
