Ever Wanted to See Jack Black Sing Taylor Swift in His Underwear? Sure, You Have. Don’t Lie

It isn’t always exhausting rooting for the anti-hero, at least when the anti-hero is Jack Black. On Wednesday night, the actor and comedian used his time during the Give Back-ular Spectacular! Show at Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre to serenade attendees with a little Taylor Swift.

After stripping down to just his undies and his socks and then doing a little crowd work, Black asked the audience for requests. A few people called out suggestions, and after refusing one song — “we’re in a strike,” he says — he latches onto one he can do. “I know that one, everyone knows that fuckin’ song.” Then he launched into Swift’s hit with, “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me … ” He even dances a little, which is just something you have to see yourself to believe. Are you ready for it?

Black was one of more than two dozen celebrities who made appearances at the event, which was a fundraiser for TV and film crews as the SAG-AFTRA strike continues. It was billed as “an evening of music and comedy” — two things that Black excelled at in just a few seconds — and it featured Jason Alexander, Halle Berry, Lily Tomlin, Lil Dicky, Bryan Cranston, Patton Oswalt, and many others.

“Crew members have gone without a paycheck for more than six months,” a website for the event stated. “Many are facing serious financial distress: losing homes, losing health insurance, and struggling to feed their families. The Give Back-ular Spectacular! will raise emergency relief funds for both union and non-union crew members in need due to the work stoppage.”

SAG-AFTRA negotiations were set to resume this week on Tuesday, according to the NME. The WGA strike for the writers’ union ended a month ago.
