Marius Larsen has a problem. He has two tickets to see Taylor Swift live in concert, but he’s lacking a companion to fill that second seat. And as any sensible rational person would, he’s looking to remedy this situation with an oddly mesmerizing plea.
Marius has crafted a sales pitch asking for a date or a best friend to accompany him to see The Almighty Taylor when she comes to town. It’s essentially the sort of plea you’d see in a cable TV romance or a particularly grisly edition of Criminal Minds. Sometimes both if Lifetime’s really on point.
A self-described “desperate and confused” gentleman, Marius recently moved to Australia from Norway and appears to have only befriended animals and hat merchants. His Norwegian friends gave him tickets to see Taylor in his new hometown, but that second ticket remains up for grabs. The video he’s made to fix this problem is funny, touching and lets you know he has a well-moisturized back.
Marius only has until November 28 to lock down a pal or potential sweetheart for the concert, and the YouTube comments section is full of well-wishers hoping it all pans out and offering their accompaniment services. One very trusting lady has even pitched that he join the carpool she’s organized with a pair of moppets. (Our legal team recommends against carpool combinations that are “internet guy + children.”)
If you’d like to be Marius’ Taylor Swift attending partner, his contact information pops up at the end of the video. Fair warning: You’ll likely be expected to sit through Vance Joy.
