Taylor Swift Lip Syncs to Jimmy Eat World's 'The Middle' for New Apple Music Ad [WATCH]

Early this month, Taylor Swift was featured in a video while rapping "Jumpman" by Drake and Future before falling off the treadmill for an advertisement for Apple Music. This time, a newly released video shows Swift lip syncing to "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World while playing music on her phone.

In the video, Swift showcases the playlist function of Apple Music while swiping on various themes until she lands on the Getting Ready To Go Out playlist and starts rocking to the music inside a very spacious bathroom.

The "Bad Blood" singer is bouncing around while wearing a little black dress, putting on her lipstick and doing different dance moves as she continues lip syncing with the song. She is also seen rocking on an air guitar and using her lipstick as a microphone which she drops like a mic at the end of the video.

"Oh my God, I love this song!" Swift says in voiceover when she finds the song on her phone, according to NME. "I used to listen to this in middle school!"

Aside from the 2001 hit song by Jimmy Eat World from the album Bleed American, The Verge noted that other songs on Swift's playlist are "Welcome to the Black Parade," "No One Knows" and "Heads Will Roll."

Swift has revealed previously that she is a fan of Jimmy Eat World and she even performed with the band in 2011 during her Speak Now tour. She also covered an iTunes session of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” back in 2013, Entertainment Weekly reported.

Swift has expressed her disappointment to Apple Music for its three months free trial period wherein artists are not being paid as users stream their music through the service. But in December last year, Swift debuted her 1989 World Tour documentary through Apple Music and now with the commercials, it looks like all is forgiven.
