Highly quotable.

Are you singing about me?

Those are rumors and have never been confirmed.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

At talent show auditions, three judges sit through a tapping tuba player before a singer named T. Smith takes the stool, announcing that she models herself on her idol Taylor Swift and writes original songs just like her. Her first ballad about a person glued to a phone makes one judge suspect it is about him, and she insists no such thing is intended before cheerfully breezing into a second song that mocks another judge's turtleneck and goatee. As each song lands closer to home, the judges grow indignant, the audition collapses into bickering, and the singer's name is mangled once more.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
