Reba McEntire Covered Taylor Swift While Neil Patrick Harris Got In A Bar Fight On ‘Best Time Ever’

Reba McEntire covered Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” for Neil Patrick Harris’ variety show Best Time Ever in one of the strangest pieces of television we’ve seen in a while. In the bit, Neil Patrick Harris leads a hammy, musical theater run-through of a bar fight while Reba, who couldn’t even be bothered to get on board with the conceit and don a costume (Ryan Adams, she ain’t), sings a cover of Swift’s mega-hit.

The bit reads as a little insane, even among the throw-everything-at-the-wall atmosphere of Best Time Ever. The whole thing reeks a bit of “Dear God, pay attention to us.” But people are writing about it, so it must be a good move on NBC’s part. And it got Reba to sing on national television, and anything that does that will always come out as a net positive.

For more Swift coverage, check out the amount of money she reportedly makes in a day. Wash that down with the news that “Blank Space” is one of the most viewed videos in history. And follow that up with her our takeaways from her recent, in-depth GQ profile (she freaks out about Justin Timberlake, just like an average Joe).
