You may find it difficult to shake him off this time.
A resurfaced video of Taylor Swift rapping Eminem’s Lose Yourself has gone viral, for all the wrong reasons.
A clip of the 34-year-old singer singing the rapper’s famous song on stage in 2011 has sparked very mixed reactions from fans.
The clip, which was posted on Reddit D-listed community subreddit, features Swift in her days as a country singer with curly hair, a bright green ruffled dress, and an acoustic guitar.
“It’s okay,” the young singer says as she takes the stage.
The Eras Tour superstar then begins the song, adapting it for the festival crowd.
‘If you had a chance, one chance, to be the loudest crowd we’ve seen all summer, would you do it? Or let it escape? she says, imitating , as the iconic music starts and she begins furiously strumming her guitar.
Swift then begins singing the song, making it more melodic than Eminem’s version.

The clip only lasts a little over a minute, which was more than enough time, according to commenters.
‘What the hell is this at the high school talent show?’ wrote one dismayed listener.
“Based on how embarrassing, boring, flat, and ‘little girls on ice’ her current performances are, I’m surprised to realize she’s actually gotten better lol,” another scathing comment read.
‘OMG, she “raps” like a 12-year-old cheerleader, so sing-songy and chilling!’ someone else intervened.
“I shook so much I don’t think my face will ever be the same,” declared a fourth.
Lose Yourself won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was featured in Eminem’s 2002 film, 8 Mile.
It’s not the first time Swift has been ridiculed for her embarrassing behavior.
In early November, the singing superstar delighted (and horrified) fans by wearing skinny jeans to a Chiefs game.
The big denim divide has been between millennials, who wore the popular style for about a decade starting in the early 2000s, and Generation Z, who opts for a looser style.

Eminem’s performance of Lose Yourself, which appeared in the 2002 film 8 Mile and won an Academy Award, was described as “embarrassing, uninspired and flat.”
The clip only lasts a little over a minute, which is more than enough time, according to commentators.
Earlier this month, her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s mother Donna joined Swift on her walk to the VIP suites, and millennials are convinced the 1989 hitmaker is trying to bring back skinny jeans .
The 1989 hitmaker caused quite a stir on social media with her generation-defining fit: she wore a stylish red Louis Vuitton cropped wool jersey for Kelce’s Chiefs and skinny black PAIGE jeans.
Some members of Generation Z have posted TikToks claiming they would rather be dead or homeless than be caught wearing skinny jeans, but millennials aren’t giving up their favorite style of denim without a fight.
Swifties took to social media to debate the new look.
“I can’t believe Taylor Swift is wearing skinny jeans in 2024,” one person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another agreed: ‘Taylor, can we please not bring back skinny jeans? Don’t put that out into the universe.
“She’s wearing skinny jeans NOOOOO THIS CAN’T COME BACK,” someone else wrote.
One person shared: “UGHHHH SHE LOOKS GOOD AS ALWAYS but that fit looks better without the skinny jeans.”
