The Sunday Funny

Hearing Dorothy interpret Taylor Swift lyrics is endlessly fun!

In her song Mean, Taylor slings an insult at a critic:

And I can see you years from now in a bar

Talking over a football game

With that same big loud opinion

I remarked that Taylor was using the image of the man watching football in a bar to look down on him, but that she is now dating an NFL player and attending games herself.

Dorothy defended Taylor:  "She's looking down on him because he's talking over a football game, and the other people can't hear the game."
