Bejeweled by Taylor Swift's Dance Anthem
Not so very long after the last days of 2022, Taylor Swift fans were treated to an automatic hit in the form of choreographer Mikael Arellano's work on Taylor's song, "Bejeweled," for her Midnights album. The choreography, basic yet sexy, soon gained immense traction and kept blowing into 2024. It went much more viral, though, when Taylor herself danced along with some portions of it at certain times on the ERAS tour, making it a fan favorite.
Foot Fungus by Ski Mask the Slump God
