Billy Eichner Does His Best T. Swift on Conan

Billy Eichner, the caustic comedian behind Billy on the Street, has made it clear he counts himself among Taylor Swift’s massive flock of fans. (He praises her for writing about weighty matters like “what happens when your boyfriend doesn’t text you back.”) Last year he even went as far as recording a ballad, titled “Glitter and Ribs,” for her (and as her) to record. Tonight he went on Conan to sing the song live on TV for the first time and to encourage her yet again to adopt the song. (Pro tip: Billy, you might have better luck with her if you take the song off Spotify.)
