Taylor Swift is the latest celebrity to join the viral “emergency contact” trend on TikTok, and fans are all in, ready to trust her with their lives. The trend asks users to name who they’d call in case of a serious emergency, paired with a video of that person in a funny or unserious situation.
Taylor Nation gave the trend a Swift spin, sharing a fan-favorite video of the pop star post-LASIK eye surgery, still loopy from the anesthesia. In the clip, Taylor struggles to eat a banana while her mom, Andrea Swift, lovingly cautions her, “Don’t fall asleep eating a banana.”
Taylor famously responds, “I’m not asleep. My mind is alive,” before bursting into a giggle.
Originally aired on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon back in 2019, the clip quickly went viral, with fans calling it a “masterpiece.” The video became a central part of the new TikTok trend, leaving Swift’s followers declaring her the ultimate “emergency contact” — and proving once again that her humor and charm are timeless.
One fan wrote, “That definitely makes me want her as my emergency contact,” while another said, “It doesn’t get more iconic than this.”
