Taylor Swift Rap

So much discussion was made over what Taylor Swift and T-Pain would be doing at tonight’s (June 16) CMT Music Awards that I was almost worried the moment would be anticlimactic. But Swift and T-Pain did not disappoint. In a fast-moving video sequence with awards show host Bill Engvall, we saw Swift as a Vulcan in the new Star Trek movie, as a grossly undersized NFL player and then finally as a slightly less-than gansta rapper with T-Pain in the music video for “Thug Story.” Swift rapped original lyrics and poked fun at herself while T-Pain contributed his signature auto-tuned hooks. Her self-deprecating humor was hilarious.
