Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its clever use of popular Taylor Swift lyrics in a relatable dating app context, creating humor through unexpected juxtapositions and a punchline involving a fast-food chain.

Summary

This video recreates a humorous Grindr conversation using Taylor Swift song lyrics. The dialogue playfully references locations and dating tropes, culminating in a humorous misunderstanding about a Wendy's restaurant.

Structure

1Opening with a "Hey" on Grindr
2Quoting Taylor Swift lyrics in a playful conversation
3Referencing locations like Empanada Mama's and Starbucks
4Misunderstanding a Wendy's as a romantic setting
5Concluding with a humorous exchange about "blank space"

Product placement

Grindr: a dating app where users can find and connect with other users. It ACTS in this video as the platform for the conversation. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Taylor Swift: a musician whose song lyrics are quoted in the video. She merely APPEARS as the source of the lyrics. Removing her would not change what happens in the video. Wendy's: a fast-food restaurant. It merely APPEARS as a location mentioned in the conversation. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Starbucks: a coffeehouse chain. It merely APPEARS as a location mentioned in the conversation. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
