Great Tyler Durden vs Taylor Swift video
Love this Taylor Swift meets Tyler Durden video and mashup by ah! mashups aka Irish mashup producer Alan Hurley. I actually considered this combo of Pixies – Where Is My Mind vs Anti-Hero before I did my Radiohead one, but it didn’t work for me (Titus Kondo did not bring joy). But he’s made it…
