As popular as Taylor Swift has been over the past year, it might be surprising that many celebrities aren't familiar with her music. Case and point: Taraji P. Henson, Robert Downey Jr., Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman, Justin H. Min, Colman Domingo, Lily Gladstone and more participated in a performance of the pop superstar's 2014 track, "Blank Space."
On Saturday, Feb. 3, W Magazine published a "lyrical Improv" YouTube video featuring a slew of celebs attempting to sing/dramatically read Swift's lyrics.
Jodie Foster prefaced her contribution with a disclaimer, confessing, "You know I don't know a single Taylor Swift song." (Despite her claim, Foster later called out an incorrect lyric on the sheet.)
When asked if he knew "Blank Space,'"Min replied, "Oh, of course, who doesn't know that song?"
"You'd be surprised," someone off-camera said, to which Min declared, "That's blasphemy!"
"I'mma do my best, Taylor!" Henson promised.
The result is highly satisfying—even if it's painfully obvious which celebs don't know the song. Check it out!
When it came to the bridge, Min, Phoebe Dynevor and Talia Ryder totally carried. Honorable mentions go to Henson, Gladstone and Domingo for knowing the tune to "Blank Space" as well.
YouTube users reacted in the comments, with one person writing, "I didn't know that Phoebe Dynevor could sing like that! It was nice!"
Another person commented, "That was so fun, I love this segment!"
Meanwhile, someone else begged, "PLEASE RELEASE THE FULL TALIA ONE PLEASE."
