US pop superstar Taylor Swift has surprised fans with Christmas care packages and invited fans to her house to listen to her 1989 album – and now The Oxford Union are calling on her to visit.

The video, which has been posted to the union’s YouTube page, uses the appearances of previous guests to give the impression that they are singing Swift’s famous hit song.
“Taylor Swift is an worldwide sensation who does not just produce enjoyable music but has become a contemporary cultural icon”, Vaughan told The Independent.
Other members of the video’s eclectic cast include Gangnam Style singer Psy, TV presenter Piers Morgan, actors Morgan Freeman, Diane Kruger, Sir Patrick Stewart and Jack Gleeson, as well as biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins.
Established in 1823, the Oxford Union has hosted a number of internationally recognised figures, such as Stephen Fry, Morgan Freeman, Senator John McCain and more.
The short video apparently took a whole week to edit and put together, and was originally intended to be used to attract new students to sign up to the debating society.
“It’s fantastic when you take some famous people who are known for being celebrities… they have awesome things to say despite the fact that they’re better known not for their academic content”, Vaughan said, according to telegraph.co.uk.
But now it’s found a higher objective.
