with Taylor Swift covering the song

Now we said oh my god yes and full disclosure, full disclosure,
I mean I feel like we've established some honesty

The first thing I thought was,
cha -ching,
Taylor Swift's coming
this hour.
And then quickly I realized this is for charity.
Fuck, you're terrible.
You're going to hell. You're going.
E
But that's the first thing I thought.
