Cringey video of Taylor Swift rapping Eminem’s Lose Yourself resurfaces
A resurfaced video of Taylor Swift rapping Eminem’s Lose Yourself has gone viral – for all the wrong reasons.
A clip of the 34-year-old songstress singing the rapper’s famous song on stage in 2011 has drawn a very mixed reaction from fans.
The clip, which was posted to Reddit’s DListed Community subreddit, features Swift in her country-singing days with crimped hair, a bright green ruffled dress and an acoustic guitar.
‘Alright,’ the young singer says as she walks on stage.
The Eras Tour superstar then starts the song, tailoring it for the festival crowd.
‘If you had one shot, one opportunity, to be the loudest crowd we have seen all summer would you take the shot? Or let it slip?’ she says, imitating the , as the iconic music starts and she begins furiously strumming her guitar.
Swift then starts singing the song – making it more melodic than Eminem’s version.
The clip only goes for just over a minute – which was more than enough time, according to commenters.
‘What in the high school talent show trainwreck is this??’ an appalled listener wrote.
‘Based on how cringeworthy, uninspired, flat, “toddler-on-ice” her current performances are, I am shocked to realize that she actually improved lol,’ another scathing comment read.
‘Oh dear, she “raps” like a 12 year old cheerleader – so sing-songy and cringe!’ someone else chimed in.
‘I cringed so hard I think my face won’t ever be the same again,’ a fourth declared.
