I used to do a lot of impressions when I was younger, but then I had to have surgery on my vocal chords, resulting in the loss of my powers. Thankfully, a few years post-surgery, I was taken in by a burgeoning movie franchise that boasted a wonderfully imitable character. That franchise was The Lord of the Rings and that character was Gollum, the creature formerly known as Sméagol.
Anyway, I’ve always had a soft spot for that creepy little guy—maybe he’s ripe for a “Science Fiction/Biblical Reality” post?—so when I saw this video, I had to share it.
Prepare yourself for a Gollum cover of Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

Some friends of mine found this for me (a LOTR mad-hat fan) a couple of weeks ago. Watched it in my study group and we were rolling around in tears by the end!!

That’s awesome! I heard about this from a podcast I listen to regularly. I shared it with my middle schoolers, and they weren’t quite as impressed. Might have something to do with LOTR coming out when they were toddlers.
Glad you enjoyed the vid! That guy is hilarious!

Nice one, I prefer the Goat Edition though

I like it too, but it lost its luster when I found out it was faked.
