Imagine being able to go out on a date with her. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Pop singer Taylor Swift begins going out with Chris, and while Chris actually likes her, Swift sabotages the relationship so she can have fodder for her songs about break-ups and being with men who mistreat her. Meanwhile, Peter becomes an Uber driver.Examples of tropes in this episode:
- Adam Westing: In the Saved by the Bell cutaway, Mark-Paul Gosselaar reprises Zack Morris.
- Bestiality Is Depraved: On New Year's Eve, Chris announces that some animals give him boners. Everyone else stares in shock.
- Call-Back: Meg mentions meeting Dan Aykroyd which may be a reference to the episode, Spies Reminiscent Of Us where she met him along with Chevy Chase.
- Continuity Nod: Stewie references "breaking into" Anne Murray's house in Chris Cross.
- Hypocritical Humor: Quagmire, like everyone else stares at Chris when he says "Some animals give me boners" on New Years Eve. Quagmire himself made out with a giraffe in "Barely Legal".
- Skewed Priorities: Everyone is concerned over how Taylor Swift is too attractive to date someone like Chris, and later Chris feeling betrayed that Taylor slandered him for her new song. However, not one person has a problem with a late-20s woman getting romantically involved with a high school minor.
- Jerkass: How Taylor is characterized in this episode: A complete bitch and spoiled diva, and someone who exploits other people for profit, superstardom, ego and other personal gain, and no amount of backpedaling can conceal her true motives.
- Not Quite Starring: Ursula Taherian voices the Taylor Swift character in this episode.
- Take That!: Basically this episode is one to Taylor Swift and her tendencies to break up with her boyfriends and write break-up songs from her experiences.
