00:00 "No, one second. I don't care if it's the VMAs, I'm not jumping off of there."

00:06 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for Taylor Swift's wildest,

00:12 shadiest, and most hilarious moments.

00:14 "Here's to you, 'cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do."

00:25 Number 10. Taylor vs. Taylor vs. Taylor. Tyler Swift was not the extent of Taylor Swift's

00:32 acting range. In her 2017 music video for "Look What You Made Me Do," Swift took her public image

00:38 to a whole new level by playing herself several times. Playing the various versions of herself

00:43 created by the media, it's like a nightmarish psychological thriller in music video form.

00:54 Even more batty is the behind-the-scenes footage. Taylor is performing with a capital P.

01:00 The absolute acting masterclass of her shaking a body double and screaming,

01:05 "Get out of my house!"

01:07 should be taught in drama school. It's powerful stuff, and honestly, a little frightening too.

01:12 Number 9. Hiding in her luggage. Sometimes you've got to find a private place away from all the

01:18 glitz, glamour, and paparazzi. According to former duet partner Zayn Malik, Taylor Swift found an

01:31 interesting place to hide from prying eyes. That place is her luggage. Apparently, the rumors that

01:36 Swift was being carried out of her apartment in a suitcase by her bodyguards turned out to be true.

01:42 Who knew the pop star was also an escape artist? During the 2023 Eras tour, her illusionist skills

01:48 became big news again when fan footage confirmed she was being snuck onto the stage before the show

01:53 in a big janitor's cart. Number 8. Apple Music ad. In a headline-grabbing ad released on April

02:00 Fool's Day 2016, Taylor Swift showed us the benefits and dangers of an intense cardio workout.

02:05 The commercial for Apple Music showcases Taylor getting her steps in, dancing and

02:16 rapping along to Drake in future single "Jumpman." But a misstep sends her careening

02:21 forward until she spills off of the treadmill and onto the cold, hard ground.

02:25 Although some viewers were able to clock the subtle edit that swaps in Taylor for a brave

02:35 stunt double, it was wild to see such a big star wipe out so hard. Drake responded in kind with

02:40 his own Apple Music ad a few months later. Number 7. Dang Dear. Could Taylor Swift be the next Meryl

02:52 Streep? During an early career appearance on the BBC radio program "Switch with Annie and Nick,"

02:58 Taylor got to show off her talent for mimicry and accents. She chose to do an impression of

03:03 a disgruntled Minnesota soccer mom for the radio DJs. But even more bonkers than the impression

03:19 was her improvised story about this dang deer that ran out in front of her car and made her

03:24 late picking up her imaginary son from soccer practice. Her ad was a little bit more dramatic

03:27 and she was able to get the idea across. Her layered and moving performance had the entire

03:35 British crew cackling. Number 6. Fear of Sea Urchins. A guest on Ellen DeGeneres knows they

03:53 might have to face their deepest, darkest fears at any given time. A simple leading question about

04:01 sea urchins gave way to a boatload of neuroses. When Ellen tells Taylor that a sea urchin is

04:06 fairly harmless, it sends the singer-songwriter on a rant about the potential loss of limb and

04:12 life posed by these prickly underwater menaces. Sea urchin stings can apparently lead to hands

04:22 and feet just falling right off. But don't quote her on that. Although her fear may be a little

04:37 irrational, she makes a good case for literally never going in the water again.

04:41 Number 5. Commercial with her cats. To those of you who aren't in the know,

04:47 Taylor Swift really likes cats. She talks about them, she sings about them,

04:52 she's even gotten to play one in a movie that gave us many unhinged moments of its own.

05:03 When she became the star of AT&T's DirecTV Now commercials, let's just say her cats were

05:15 heavily involved. But we don't get the feeling she's a stage mom. Taylor takes being a cat mom

05:35 very seriously, and over the years, Swifties have developed a fondness for her three furry children,

05:41 Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin. Number 4. The Myspace era. In the late 2010s,

05:47 alleged snapshots of Taylor Swift's Myspace page began circulating. Her profile, again alleged,

05:53 is a treasure trove of mid-2000s nostalgia, emo aesthetics, and strange comments presented

05:59 without context. Her pre-fame concerns were pretty simple. She waxes poetic about suspicious vans,

06:06 lollipops, and her unexplained hatred for sewing machines. Let's face it, none of us were our

06:11 coolest and most composed selves on Myspace, but thankfully most of us aren't famous enough to have

06:17 our early social media activities forever memorialized by internet sleuths. Legend has it

06:22 she and Grant Wood still have beef. Maybe they'll make up before the next tour. Number 3. Just Be

06:29 Calm. The music video for the 2019 hit "Me" showed us another one of Taylor's talents,

06:35 her amazing French. The video starts with a hysterically dramatic scene where Panic

06:40 at the Disco frontman Brendan Urie and Taylor have an argument in French for some reason.

06:44 "Comme toi s'il te plait." "C'est la première fois que tu parles comme t'es comme ça." "Tu en fais

06:47 vraiment trop." "Comment oses-tu? Et devant nos filles en plus." "Je suis calm." She screams in

06:56 a totally not calm way. "Je suis calm!" This one looks like so much fun to shoot,

07:02 and behind the scenes footage of the artist rehearsing her French are just as charming as

07:07 the end result. "Je suis calm. Je suis calm." "Yeah, I see that." In all its retro pastel glory,

07:15 the entire video is so much fun. It even includes one of her more controversial lyrics. "Falling is

07:21 fun!" Honestly, we have to stan a phonics queen. Number 2. Taylor vs. Banana. Late night host

07:28 Jimmy Fallon knows just how to bring out Taylor's silly side, even if it means blindsiding her with

07:33 an embarrassing video. "Didn't you just get Lasik surgery?" "I did. How do you know that?"

07:39 Swift knew something was going on when Fallon started asking about her recent eye surgery.

07:45 "What's happening right now?" "Your mom may or may not have videotaped you after surgery."

07:50 Then Fallon surprised, or should we say playfully ambushed,

07:54 Taylor with footage of her in a post-surgery painkiller haze. "She found a snack."

07:58 "It wasn't the one I wanted." "Stop, you can't cry." In footage captured by Taylor's mom,

08:09 she has a hilariously emotional reaction to a banana. "Don't fall asleep eating a banana,

08:14 okay?" "I'm not asleep, my mind is alive." Stunned by her on-camera antics, Taylor had to fight to

08:20 keep it together for the rest of the interview. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few

08:26 honorable mentions. No, it's Becky. Fans couldn't believe it when Taylor embraced this Tumblr meme.

08:32 Or is that Becky? Natalie. She's 13, she likes to eat apricots, and she has a band-aid collection.

08:38 "Well, my name's Natalie, and I'm 13, and I like to eat apricots, and I have a band-aid collection."

08:47 Yes, whale. When Taylor turned into the narrator of a nature documentary. "Whale!

08:52 Look at it! Yes, whale!"

08:57 Recording a random sound that came to her in the night. "We have just recorded

09:05 a idea I got in the middle of the night that is so stupid."

09:13 Dressing up as Olaf from Frozen. Because being a big goofy kid never goes out of style.

09:40 Number 1. SNL monologue song. If there's anything Taylor Swift has never been afraid of,

09:46 it's poking fun at her star persona. "It's called monologue song.

09:50 In parentheses, la la la." Saturday Night Live has been a place for her to spread her comedy wings,

09:58 even when she's not hosting. "So many bunnies on the floor tonight,

10:02 howdy, we're taking their bunny kits to the sheer bunny and all of us."

10:06 In her playfully messy opening monologue for this 2009 episode of SNL,

10:11 she got to show off her comedy chops alongside her musical ones.

10:15 "I like baking and things that smell like winter, but I'm not gonna talk about that

10:20 in my monologue." This hilarious and self-parodying musical monologue took playful jabs at Joe Jonas,

10:27 BMA stage-crasher Kanye West, and even her own habit of writing songs about exes.

10:33 "I like writing their names into songs so they're ashamed to go in public,

10:37 but I'm not gonna say that in my monologue." For a lot of people, it may have been the first

10:43 time they really got to see her be as silly as her fans knew her to be.

10:47 Did we get this one right, or is our Swifty card revoked? Let us know in the comments.

10:53 "But there's nothing more to say, 'cause everything's okay, I've got security lining the stage."
