"Thug Story" is a parody of "Love Story". Taylor and rapper T-Pain opened the CMT Awards 2009 with a pre-taped video for the song, a rap very reminiscent of the Natalie Portman rap from a few years earlier.
Taylor wrote all the lyrics by herself and identifies herself as "T-Swizzle" and makes boasts like "You can find me making cookies at night/You out clubbing? I just made caramel delights" and "You don't wanna fight me/In my extra-small white tees."
Taylor's mother Andrea Swift even made a cameo when Taylor raps "I still live with my parents." T-Pain Auto-Tunes along with Taylor, and even when the track breaks down at the end, he's still talking with pitch correction.
Hey Hey, T-Swizzle [T-Swizzle]
And T-Pizzle [T-Pizzle]
Taylor Swift
I'm like 8 foot 4
Blond hair to the floor
You shorties never thought I dreamed about rapping hardcore
No I ain't got a gun
No I never really been in a club
Still live with my parents but I'm still a thug
I'm so gangster you can find me baking cookies at night
You out clubbing but I just made caramel delight
T-Swift and T-Pain rapping on the same track
It's a thug story, tell me can you handle that?
T-Pain & Taylor
