Taylor Swift tried it. No, like tried it, tried it.
In a blatant rip-off from Beyonce’s epic and culturally iconic Coachella performance, Taylor “not so” Swift took to the Billboard Awards stage for a performance, led by a drumline, or should we say bland band after which she emerged like a plain pop tart. Swift, who is known for her originality (sike!) is being blasted on the net for not only stealing from Bey, but for reminding us why she could never even come close.
Where is Kanye when you need him?!
Take a look at her getting dragged with this #MayoChella.

Now, I think Taylor Swift really believes she is the “equivalent” to Beyoncé. This #Mayochella drum line off beat and all.

Taylor Swift brought an offbeat drumline to the Billboard Music Awards. Beyoncé brought a really specific cultural experience to one of the whitest and most exclusionary music festivals. Their performances serve two different purposes.
