Want some terrifying Shakespearian unease with your Friday morning T.Swift? Who better to give it to you than Jack Gleeson, aka, one Joffrey Baratheon from Game Of Thrones, as he reads the lyrics to Tay’s Bad Blood.
With his signature, chilling lilt, Joffrey – ahem – Gleeson brings the slow fear as he dictates Swift’s lyrics in a video shot by ABC Gold Coast.
“…Did you think we’d be fine?” he asks the camera with familiar undertones of barely-concealed rage, and brings a new meaning to the line, “I’ve still got scars on my back from your knife.”
He might be almost unrecognisable in his black and red flanno and lightly spiked hair, but Joffrey is with us in this video. When Gleeson makes eye contact with the camera in the line, “You made a really, deep, cut,” I’m pretty sure a little bit of me dies.
Holy hell, can that kid act. I’m never going to hear T. Swift the same way again.
