Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” as Sung by Gollum

“Cause we knew you had precious when you walked in. So shame on us now. Our cries echo through the Misty Mountains since you came around.”

I’m not sure whether this video is annoying or hilarious. Ian Walters performs Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” as Gollum, changing the words around to reflect Gollum’s inner turmoil. This new version is all about ‘Precious,’ of course, rather than a lament for a lost living, breathing love. And your level of enjoyment will depend on A) how much you’re over Taylor Swift’s break-up songs, and B) whether or not you’re into all things Hobbit.
