I wasn't going to go into the goat territory. I knew someone very clever had been throwing goats into a Taylor Swift song, but come on. How stupid. Right? But then I saw Carrie Underwood's tweet about her goat song, so I had to look. "Carrie Underwood -- 'Blown Away' Goat Edition,'" Underwood tweeted. "Laughing so hard, I'm crying! I love these vids! Goats. Are. Awesome," And in her reply, Kelly Clarkson tweeted, "oh my gosh the Taylor Swift one is hilarious as well! I want one of those goats!" (It's not really clear from that tweet if she wants a goat for a pet -- which would be a novel wedding present idea -- or if she wants a goat collaboration.) So I watched, and I loved it. This just works. The goat really seems to have a good sense of timing, gets the cadence of the song and isn't pitchy at all. Se! e what you think. If you think the goat collaborations are good on
