In a hilarious new video, Taylor Swift does what she does best: She bakes. OK, so she’s doing what she does second- or third-best (after her singing and songwriting, but who’s counting?). The singer teamed up with chef Jamie Oliver to create a bake-off of sorts in order to promote Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C).
In the video, Swift and Oliver meet in a kitchen, and it’s clear that the chocolate sauce is about to hit the fan. The challenge is also clear: The chef and singer have to each make a yummy, impressive-looking baked good. The competition is fierce, with Oliver rewriting Swift’s lyrics to her hit “Shake It Off” and Swift throwing dark looks in the chef’s direction.

According to Oliver, the lyrics to “Bake It Off” contain these gems:
“I’m a baking king … baking is my thing.”
“My cake’s gonna taste great, great, great, great …”
At the end of the video, Swift finally gives in and joins Oliver in some hilarious dance moves. Even though she apparently abandons her baking at this point, she’s still pictured in front of an amazing-looking treat in the end. What is her response to the chef’s shock?
“I baked it off.”
Wondering why a world-famous chef and international superstar are having a bake-off? It’s all to promote the work Stand Up To Cancer, a “groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now,” is doing.
