WATCH: Taylor Swift’s Mannequin Challenge Is Here Ft. Attempted Twerking

Taylor Swift just published her not-a-moment-too-soon Mannequin Challenge on Instagram, and look, there is a lot going on.
Surrounded by her gang of frighteningly accomplished m8s, the short entry into the official Meme Video Canon features a poorly-timed beach visit, a meticulously-placed Beats speaker, and a very liberal interpretation of twerking. 

Broadway star Todrick Hall, fashion models Martha Hunt and Lily Donaldson, and brother Austin Swift also feature in the Rae Srremmurd-vibin’ clip, which we’re sure Apple execs are monitoring with feverish intensity. 
Peep Austin’s cap falling on Donaldson’s noggin:

The sudden break into the dance is a lil’ Harlem Shake-y, making this one a total confluence of tried-and-true viral elements. Let Swift & Co. have their (likely lucrative) fun, imo.
