Taylor Swift didn’t wanna sing 😭 #taylorswift #tyla #sombr #vmas
"Taylor Swift didn't wanna sing 😭" is a carpet clip from the VMAs, and it is the one carrying Parker Pannell's channel. The Los Angeles comedian and host, who promises new videos every day in his about text, spent his week on that red carpet, holding out a song and asking artists to finish it.
The tags name Taylor Swift, Tyla and Sombr, and the comments add Bebe Rexha and Ella Bright, the actor viewers know from Off Campus. One viewer asks why only three of the artists actually finished the lyrics. Others replay the moment Swift seems not to hear him at all as she passes, and plenty point out how sweet Bebe Rexha was about it.
The rest of the twelve uploads came from the same night. Sombr gets his own short for not knowing the words, Bebe Rexha gets one too, and "They actually did it" tags Alex Warren, Paris Hilton, Teddy Swims and Normani. Two days later came "A moment I'll never forget," another Swift clip, which has kept climbing well past its first day and now sits above 450,000 views.
The channel's daily views ran above its usual pace, while the subscriber count held where it was. Among the podcast and interview channels of a similar size, Club 520 Podcast and The Other Channel were also running warm, while Toni and Ryan had a slower week than usual.
