Taylor Swift & Kendrick Lamar - ...Ready for Backseat Freestyle? (Mashup) [EXPLICIT] - music video

A mashup of "...Ready for It?" by Taylor Swift and "Backseat Freestyle" by Kendrick Lamar. In 2014, Taylor told Rolling Stone magazine that "Backseat Freestyle" was her go-to jam. She said that if she had a theme song it would be that song. Taylor also posted a video of herself rapping a section of the song on Instagram, and it's featured in this video. They're both great artists, and both of these songs are awesome! I claim no ownership of either song.
I used Ableton Live 10 exclusively for for the audio and Adobe Premiere for the video. I'm pretty pleased with how this came out, and I hope people like it. It would be super cool if Taylor or Kendrick saw it.
I made this with nothing but respect for both artists.

LESS GOOO!!! Kendrick rapping on a Taylor beat GOES SO HARD

Great job. This is a sick mash up

[@supacruzza6023]

This is incredible!!! The way you flowed these two tracks together was perfect. I've never been a fan of either artist but I will be listening to this one for a while. Well done!

@@TaylorSwiftMashupsthx for the response, a shame companies stifle creativity like that. if you ever have inspiration like this again, that would be epic bc I can't find any other remixes like this

How do we get this on Spotify?! fire.

I wish it could be on Spotify! Maybe I can look into it. Please share it!

[@setoth1234]

Would love to know where you find the stems for these kinds of tracks...

[@TaylorSwiftMashups]

The music bed for Taylor’s song is from the officially-released karaoke version of reputation. I used that 180 degrees out of phase to extract the raw vocal part. The Kendrick Lamar tracks are something that I lucked out on. I think I found the music on an old page of his record label’s website. The isolated vocal was probably on KZbin somewhere.

[@setoth1234]

@@TaylorSwiftMashups Thanks!! What is your strategy for uploading without triggering content protection bs and copyright strikes? It's becoming harder and harder these days...

[@TaylorSwiftMashups]

@@setoth1234 It all depends on who the copyright holder is. All of these mashups have copyright notices, but the publishers are cool to let it be up. They get any revenue generated by the views. I only do them for fun and in the hopes that Taylor would actually see one someday!

[@tr4spyable]

0:06 what is that from :O

[@TaylorSwiftMashups]

Which part? The two music videos are the original videos from both songs. The clip of Taylor rapping the “vroom vroom” part is from her Instagram several years ago. Thanks for checking it out. I hope you liked it! It’s my favorite one I’ve made.

[@tr4spyable]

@@TaylorSwiftMashups 0:06 sound effect in the background

[@TaylorSwiftMashups]

TR4SPY Ah. I’m gonna look that up! It sounds like a super distorted synth snare drum hit. It’s from the original Taylor Swift audio source. It’s such a cool sound.

[@wowpoopstaylorsversion3267]

I do make Taylor Swift mashups/remixes, too, when I get an idea, like, It's nice to have a friend with A KZbin music Library song, I think he knows with BlackPink's Playing with Fire.

I’ll check out your stuff!

can someone upload on Spotify

[@TaylorSwiftMashups]

I wish I could! I’ve looked into it and I haven’t figured out how to have a mashup since I don’t own the copyright.

@@sqvrletwitch I made a soundcloud account and this got flagged in about 15 seconds because of the source music. Boo.

Taylor Swift Mashups some tricks that my editor friends use is to leave like 30 secs with no audio in the beginning, then adding ur audio normally to avoid copyright
