'Swiftie' Flight Attendant Tried Getting Whole Airplane To Sing Taylor Swift Songs

The Swifties have officially gone too far.

I could waste your time writing a big lead up to this story, but honestly let's just get right to it. 

A new viral video shows a Qantas flight attendant going up and down the airplane trying to get passengers to sing a Taylor Swift song.

And when I mean trying, I mean SCREAMING and literally pacing up and down the aisle like they were a damn drum major at a high school pep rally. 

IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLIGHT!

Watch this video because it's 100% worth it just for the absurdity of it.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

Apparently, "Paul the flight attendant" was a little too excited that Taylor Swift was playing Australia this week. So what does he do? Rather than ask people if they need another drink or let passengers sleep as they travel over the Pacific Ocean, he decides to go FULL Swiftie. I'm talking Swiftie DefCon Level 5.

And I thought Swifties who sold literal rainwater from her shows had issues.

The video shows some younger people singing along, but others - especially the older folks, weren't having ANY of it.

You can see some passengers sleeping, or I should say that they WERE sleeping before a damn choir started singing, while others had headphones on and were trying to get some peace and calm before they landed. Ya know, normal things passengers do. 

It's funny that the rules suddenly go out the window when the flight crew member wants to do something, isn't it? Meanwhile, I get yelled at for having my headphones too loud, or God forbid my bookbag isn't COMPLETELY under the seat in front of me, as if that's going to stop me from getting the heck off the plane if there was an emergency. Come to think of it, my flight attendant singing Taylor Swift is definitely a security concern.

HE WASN'T DONE!

As the song starts winding down, Paul - who apparently can't read the room (or airplane), starts the song up again and starts having the different cabins compete against each other.

"That was good. But this front section is going to outdo you, I think", the flight attendant starts screaming.

Seriously, could you imagine this happening on your flight? Paul is trying to go all Cable Guy, "Red Knight vs Blue Knight," 30,000 feet in the air.

These are the same people that yelled at us if we had our face mask down for more than two seconds just a few years ago. 

IF THIS IS THE FUTURE, I HATE IT

Listen, I'm a fan of Taylor Swift.

I've defended her and supported her Ticketmaster endeavors. I went to her Eras concert, I've covered her more than anyone else here at OutKick. I was able to deal (barely) with the Travis Kelce nonstop coverage that the NFL broadcasts relentlessly delved into.

But if we are now going to have Taylor Swift singalongs on random flights just because it's Taylor, and she can do no wrong because "Everybody loves Taylor after all!" then we've officially gone too far with the Taylor hysteria.  

And if this is the way that things are going to be, then passengers should be allowed to sing any artist they want. In fact, that sounds like a great idea - get ready everyone, airplane karaoke is coming to your flight soon!
