Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks covered Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" in Portland at children's variety show You Who last month. Footage of the performance has now emerged.
The legendary Pavement frontman delivers the track with anxious pop swagger to a crowd of balloon-toting tots, who seem largely unaware of the awesomeness unfolding before them.
Swifty's 1989 is out now on Big Machine.
