Audio sampled:
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

[paranoidmage]

Fun fact: Both music videos (The Perfect Drug and Shake It Off) were directed by the same guy (Mark Romanek).

I like how it looks like Old Navy and Hot Topic are having a dance off.

[jakeku]

This catered to a bizarre need I didn't know I had.

[DefilerWyrm]

As a diehard NIN fan this completely made my night. What a beautiful, blasphemous trainwreck.

[AidanIsThisGuy]

Both music videos were directed by the same dude btw.

[Nakia]

I always love it when people combine harder songs with bubblegum pop. It’s always really nice sounding.

"My ex-man brought his new girlfriend, she's like “oh my god THE PERFECT DRUG!" lmao i can't stop laughing at this :D

"The fella over there with the hella good hair"

*cuts to Trent Reznor*

no lies detected

[MrSunrise-gmne]

Trent Reznor has made it very clear that he works in the pop vernacular; if you listen to NIN material, most of it has pop rhythms and melodies. That's why this mash-up is even possible, why it even sounds good. That Trent can make pop musics into the darkest, most despairing music to ever make it to the mass market underlines his talent.

Fun fact: The music videos for both songs were both directed by Mark Romanek, which is surprising seeing the massive contrast in tone between the two.

[myfriendexploded]

Can we please have a whole album of NIN/T-Swift?

[timpockette]

This might be the catchiest and most well done mashup I've ever heard.  I absolutely love it, and am not ashamed in any way by that.

[BriarRouge]

This is an abomination and I adore it.

7 years later and I'm still listening to this.

this is the reason you have to love the internet

[kevzsabz]

The fact that both music videos are directed by Mark Romanek. This mashup just made my day. Thank you for posting this. 😊😊

[floydmora]

Years later . My kids and I still love this mash up.

[jameswaterhouse]

As a massive Nine Inch Nails fan I am totally appalled by this. Honestly, I haven't listened to it over and over again! I swear! Don't look at me like that D:
Oh... who the hell am I kidding, I love it. Sod music snobbery, if I like a tune then I like it.

[tesany]

I don't listen to Taylor Swift much-and I'm a die hard NIN fan- but I gotta say I'm loving her voice along Trent's in this mashup.

[TheMilkaChick]

This is the weirdest most addictive mash up I've ever heard. I've no idea why it works...
