Yo, what’s up, guys? It’s your boy back again with another crazy experiment. Today’s topic is something I stumbled upon recently and just had to try – “Taylor Swift Twerk.” Yeah, you heard that right. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Taylor Swift? Twerking?” But hey, bear with me, it’s gonna be a wild ride.
So, I was scrolling through TikTok the other day, as one does, and I saw this video. This person was twerking at a Taylor Swift concert, and let me tell you, the comment section was a battlefield. Some folks were all for it, saying “live your best life,” while others were clutching their pearls, talking about “appropriate concert etiquette.” It got me thinking, and well, here we are.
First, I dug a little deeper into this whole Taylor Swift twerking phenomenon. Turns out, it’s not entirely new. I found articles talking about how Universal Music Group pulled its music off TikTok, and a bunch of Taylor Swift songs are part of that. Then there’s this one time during a speech, Taylor apparently busted out a twerk. The internet went nuts, of course. People were calling it “tone-deaf” and whatnot.
Then, there was this whole drama with a music video director. Some rapper named Earl Sweatshirt called one of Taylor’s videos “inherently offensive,” and the director had to respond. It’s a whole mess, honestly.
But back to my experiment. I decided to recreate the TikTok video I saw. I put on some Taylor Swift, probably something from her “1989” album because that’s the vibe, and tried to twerk. Let me tell you, it’s harder than it looks. I pulled a muscle, I think. Or maybe I just discovered muscles I never knew I had.
- First attempt: Total fail. I looked like a malfunctioning robot.
- Second attempt: Slightly better, but still embarrassing. I wouldn’t be caught dead doing this in public.
- Third attempt: Okay, I might have gotten the hang of it a little. Still not posting a video, though. My dignity is still somewhat intact.
After numerous failed attempts and a sore backside, I realized something. Twerking is a skill, an art form even. And it’s definitely not for everyone. Especially not for me. Also Taylor Swift has just released two new songs, but I can’t listen to them while I’m doing twerking practice.
I respect people who can twerk like pros, especially at a concert, surrounded by thousands of people. That takes guts. But I also understand the other side of the argument. It’s all about context, I guess. Some might find it inappropriate at a Taylor Swift concert, while others wouldn’t bat an eye.
Anyway, that’s it for my Taylor Swift twerking experiment. I tried it, I failed spectacularly, and I learned a valuable lesson: leave the twerking to the professionals. And maybe stick to headbanging at concerts. It’s safer for everyone involved.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever tried twerking, and what your experience was like. Or if you have any thoughts on this whole concert etiquette debate. I’m genuinely curious. Until next time, stay weird, my friends!
