Watch Taylor Swift Rap Drake, Future's 'Jumpman' and Fall on Her Face for Apple Music

That's right, Taylor Swift is rapping again and this time she took her love for hip hop music to a broader scale. The Grammy Award-winning artist teamed up with Apple Music for a hilarious new ad campaign, featuring Swift exercising while simultaneously singing "Jumpman" by Drake and Future. Her workout is cut short after falling face first to the ground.

On Friday (April 1) morning, the 26-year-old Pennsylvania native gave fans the first glimpse of the commercial on her Instagram account. The video, conveniently titled "Taylor vs. Treadmill," starts off with Swift preparing for a cardio workout on the treadmill. She's seen navigating through Apple Music, where she chooses and activity playlist specifically for running. A list of songs pop up, but Swift immediately decides nothing will get her pumped up more than a Drake and Future collaboration.

Swift's attitude changes completely once the beat drops. As the treadmill is put in motion, she begins rapping the song word-for-word, arms flailing up and down, and acting out certain lyrics of the song. The more the "Out of the Woods" singer got into the hit single, the more dangerous her workout became. During Drake's infamous ad lib, "woo," Swift slips and smacks her face on the machine, slides off of the treadmill, and ultimately hits her face on the floor.

Despite losing the battle with the treadmill, Swift doesn't miss a beat. After falling, she still continues to rap. The commercial ends with the phrase, "distractingly good" and emphasizes the variety of music options available on the streaming service.

The partnership with Apple Music also sheds light on their current relationship. Just last year, Swift published a letter criticizing the company for not paying artists for the music streamed during their advertised three-month free trial period. Hours later, Apple Music announced they would start paying their artists royalties for the 90-day time period.

Good news continued to follow the relationship. After withholding her 1989 album from Apple Music, she decided to finally allow the company to stream it.

"After the events of this week, I've decided to put 1989 on Apple Music...and happily so," Swift wrote on Twitter at the time. "This is simply the first time it's felt right in my gut to stream my album. Thank you, Apple, for your change of heart."
