Chris Rock Experiences Vertigo Due To Taylor Swift’s Music On ‘SNL’: Watch

Taylor Swift can draw a wide-ranging crowd to her sold-out arena shows. “Even at a Justin Bieber show — even at a women’s-studies seminar — you won’t find as pronounced a female-to-male ratio, nor such a wide age range: toddlers and teens and tweens and their moms, for sure, but also college co-eds, and grandmothers, and rowdy thirtysomething office workers, like the gals who sat in the row behind me, passing a flask of booze,” Jody Rosen, then New York magazine pop music critic, wrote last year.

According to Saturday Night Live, however, some may still have a tough time admitting to themselves that yes, they actually love 1989 and “Shake It Off” and all that. In the above sketch, “Swiftamine,” that is actually the new leading cause for vertigo among adults like guest host Chris Rock. “Your frontal lobe says, ‘Oof. Taylor Swift. She’s always wearing, like, a 1950s bathing suit,’” a medical professional says. “But your ears say, ‘Shut up. This is a perfect song.’” 

Swift is now predicted to sell 1.3 million copies of 1989, to have the best-selling week since Eminem‘s 2002 album The Eminem Show. Until final sales numbers arrive, watch SNL‘s “Swiftamine” sketch up top.
