Throwback Thursday: Taylor Swift As Gollum

I may be known for my take on Ke$ha, but my favorite parody is definitely this Taylor Swift one for “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. Shot at the height of her Jake Gyllenhaal- Conor Kennedy love triangle/backlash, we came to our own conclusions about Taylor’s love life. Things kept on not working out, because she is actually Gollum. I know, you were thinking this, too.

I love this parody because I saw a lot of me in the character. Stay with me here. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of a late night giggle fest with me, I can get downright crazy- of the silly kind. I love to act really nerdy, jump around and do weird things, and basically make a complete fool out of myself for the enjoyment of others. So, acting like a crazy person toward a really hot guy and then slipping into a Sci-Fi character is kind of like a typical Sunday night for me. Need proof? My roommate tends to document these moments, much to my dismay. You can follow her @IamCrystalMarie

This is a crazy video on so many levels. But, it’s even crazier how freaking ESP we were on Taylor Swift’s love life. We were all joking on set that Taylor Swift would break up with Conor Kennedy before the video came out, and she broke up with him a week after we posted it online. Then, what’s really funny, is the guy who plays Conor Kennedy in our video actually plays Harry Styles in the other Key of Awesome parodies. Creepy coincidence, right? And because weird things happen in three’s, the first week live online our parody had gone “platinum”, kind of like how Taylor Swift’s new album “Red” went platinum in seven days. Okay, the third one is a stretch, but still it’s fun to think about.

So, without further ado, here is the Key of Awesome Parody for Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”.
