Just a few days after the performance art piece/music video for Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" track "Picasso Baby" made its debut, a fan on Vimeo has remixed the clip with Taylor Swift's carefree hit "22," and the mash up video makes a little too much sense.
Opening with the twangy, happy-go-lucky guitars of "22," the music video remix gives both the Swift and Jay Z hits new life. The crowd gathered at the New York City gallery's excited and joyful attitude makes too much sense with the poppy dance-filled track.
Though the original "Picasso Baby" video included aspects of a feel-good party, that vibe is completely amplified when set to "22." If you need any further proof, the opening seconds where a man in a cow costume is shown while Swift claims it's a good night "to dress up like hipsters" is truly inspired.
Check out the Jay Z/"22" mash up below, done by Vimeo user Pop Culture Pirate.
Jay Z's original "Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Piece" debuted on Friday, Aug. 2 on HBO. The video showed highlights of when Jay Z rapped at New York's artists and actors in July, shortly after the release of "Magna Carta Holy Grail." People in attendance at the event included Alan Cumming, Judd Apatow and Michelle K. Williams.
Jay Z is on his Legends of the Summer Tour with Justin Timberlake. The duo will hit Boston's Fenway Park on Aug. 10 and 11.
