Taylor Swift tweeted out a new Apple Music ad this morning, but it's not quite as exciting as her first ad for Apple. You know, the one where she completely wiped out on a treadmill while rapping along to Drake and Future's "Jumpman."

This time, we learn that Taylor Swift's a huge Jimmy Eat World fan (surely that semi-forgotten aughts band is having the best day ever today) and that their song "The Middle" is her going-out tune of choice. "Oh my God, I love this song — I used to listen to this in middle school," she says in the video.

Taylor, already sporting her signature cat eye, then proceeds to dance around a palatial bathroom while jamming out to the emo-punk-pop hit. She gets really into it, and the whole video basically serves as proof that Taylor needs to appear on an episode of Lip Sync Battle ASAP.
