Billy Eichner Writes a Song for Taylor Swift onConan—Watch Now!
Should Taylor Swift suffer from writer's block in the future, Billy Eichner has her covered!
The host of Billy on the Street appeared on Conan Wednesday, where he discussed how and why he became a T.Swift fan.
"There are so many disturbing, upsetting things happening in our world right now in our country, internationally, but Taylor Swift is writing about the most important topic, which is what happens when your boyfriend doesn't text you back," Eichner explained. "And I think that's so essential, Conan."
Ever the dedicated fan, Eichner revealed to Conan O'Brien that he actually penned a song that he thinks the "Out of the Woods" singer would record if she heard it. Unfortunately for the Parks and Recreation star, that hasn't happened yet—c'mon, Taylor!—but that did leave the comedian an opportunity to record it himself.
The song, titled "Glitter and Ribs," calls upon all of the usual T.Swift themes: boys, love andbroken hearts. Conan was able to convince Eichner to perform his sure hit without much effort at all, giving fans the opportunity to see what he's really made of!
NEWS: Did Burger King rip off Billy Eichner's act?
"He was a boy / I was a girl / What more do you need to know?" the song begins. "With burgers on the grill / And sparkles on my eyes / He served me a fib with a side of lies."
Deep. Without a doubt, these lyrics would have made our AIM profiles and away messages.
"I don't want to buy ice cream just to watch it melt / And you can't tell me I wasn't feeling the feelings I felt / And I don't want to get married just to get divorced / So, I'm running free because I have a heart like a horse."

Caught up in the serious emotions of his own song, Eichner requested that the audience join in on the moment by participating in a slow clap while finishing the tune. But if you've ever seen him on Parks and Recreation or on his own show, you know how emotional the star can become.
Watch the video above to see what happens when the audience gets a little too involved in his performance!
