annoying with puns and

a cat pun because it's an endless supply
of them
um so cat owners at home i want to know
your best tip for any other cat owners
at home
uh i mean you know
only just you know i think that just
like
just adopt cats just and then and then
if you're lonely then adopt another one
and then if you know just and just keep
it up
just this cast was up for adoption
because you're all so cute
said no what have you done that you
should have said no to
oh what have i done that i just said no
to
um i think i should have said no
to um
i should have said no to myself when
like on award shows
i have really bad vision and this is so
random but on award shows i always wake
up in the morning i'm like i don't need
to wear my contacts
uh oh yo and then i show up at the
awards show and i have to present
something in the teleprompter and i'm
like
up next would you like to give these
little bad boys a go definitely we
probably have the same prescription
because i can't see anything i'm a minus
1.5 in the left
we have the same prescription yeah i've
just found this out it's new this is new
for me
they look really good i can actually see
the people across the room look really
good in those
thank you um do you want me to wear them
for the rest of the interview you won't
be able to read that read more i mean
i'd like you to because you do look
fearless when was the last time you were
scared uh the last time i was scared was
when i was on the plane i had a
connection
from nashville to chicago and then
chicago to london this was yesterday
this was recent um and i was on the
plane and
chicago weather was tossing us around in
the plane and
like i get in this place where i'm like
i get all
cryptic where i'm like oh my god that
would have been my last words to so and
so and that would have been my last
words and that that blog that i just
wrote would have been my last words what
was i i was
i was talking about what was i talking
about and so i just like
freak out and have a valium taylor
i probably should yeah i should probably
calm down on flights more but like you
know
those little interconnecting ones are
the worst ones though and chicago is
notoriously bad i got so
scared and i'm just like in this moment
where i'm just like oh god no
but yeah it's all better now because
obviously i didn't die the scale of one
to ten
how weird are you so weird so weird but
not weird like i have heads in my
freezer well yeah
yeah that's like that's not we're not
even going there with that well i didn't
know what your what your spectrum is i
don't know if you're going from like
you know it's like teen vogue weird like
oh yeah i ride on my shoes
i took it to serial kill i'm scared
you show me how to get down to this sick
beat um
well when i'm on tour i usually go you
could have been getting down
to this sick beat
it's like this sick
like beach favorite household chore
who came up with this one who likes
household chores i do
do you really yes like um straightening
things up and making it all look neat
and fluffing pillows
so which chore do you actually loathe
show us that you're human there's got to
be something that taylor swift does not
enjoy doing
oh i mean i don't know like vacuuming
things vacuums like are kind of scary
you know because i like with the cord
they suck things up they suck like
they're just very dif they're like a
little difficult i love her
it doesn't a meredith she had a lot of
uh cat hair
no she's perfect really she doesn't have
a lot of shedding
or hair balls or anything she's not
she's like not real
it was weird i actually had to kind of
fight off anxiety
that i had in my head like fear that was
like
you need to change like like the demons
are here like you need to change
you can't you can't stay in the forest
i was like i want to stay in the forest
but the flinging background vocals on
ivy and marjorie sorry i didn't know i
had a home phone but apparently
until somebody called it you probably
didn't even know your number
i oftentimes remark that my life is like
a
bowl and that like if something you know
if i were to like
fall in love you know somebody's
choosing to be in that fishbowl with me
to jump into the fishing jump into the
fishbowl with me and live in that world
just with me
and you know it's not as depressing as
it sounds i promise it's just a
figurative it's just symbolic
taylor thank you for joining me of
british phone thank you for joining me
cure up a bit disappear this much
but you've achieved so much in your 20s
20s were really really fun
but i also sort of equate my 20s to like
walking into a costume
what's some british slang you've learned
since living in the uk
okay some of my favorites are a cup of
rosy
chuffed knackered gutted taking the piss
have a kip have a kid well fit
i love it when somebody says somebody's
a well-rounded wanker
yeah you guys are really fun it's about
to be your birthday
it is participation you can see the
iceberg there's no avoiding
people are saying that 30 in the 30s is
like the time it's the time because you
know yourself
yeah do you know what i mean on the
brink of that yeah
i'm going to ask you a dopey question
about your cat somebody just alerted us
to the fact that it's national
cat national cat day today
two i have two cows two cats how
friendly are they
well it sounds so like
there's two of them the first one that
one's meredith
dr dr meredith gray is her full name
and then that's detective olivia benson
oh that's so cute
so yeah the theme is strong women
characters on my favorite tv shows but
um
the first one meredith started out as a
very friendly kitten and then she became
sort of an internet celebrity and i
think she kind of went to her head
she changed a little you got to watch
for that she just kind of sits around
and she's always giving me the side
glance she's always like
like you know like i don't like i don't
matter anymore to her because she knows
that she was like
2013's most popular celebrity cat wow
yeah so then then there's the new one
who like
has terrible balance and walks into
walls and like
falls asleep on you purring so she's
just like polar opposites
what is she she's uh they're both
scottish folds ah
yeah so all right they're beautiful so
happy cat day happy cat day everybody
i mean things are great aren't they and
you're in new york city
and you're like the official uh welcome
to new york kid what do you do for new
york
is that you're getting money for that no
i don't get any money for it but
i have a song called welcome to new york
and i recently moved to new york and so
the city named me the welcome ambassador
for tourism which i thought was really
nice of them
when you moved you moved from where did
you move i moved from nashville to new
york nashville to new york and you
originally are from pennsylvania
yeah yeah just kind of yeah yeah how
long did you live in nashville

very vocal about it me too yeah so
everywhere i would you know

anytime i do an interview i was like
you don't understand you have to go
there now you have to go to new york

points afterward
underlying but it's nice it's really
