Watch Taylor Swift Try -- and Fail -- to Beat-Box 

ABC/Tim OgierTaylor Swift is great at a lot of things: singing, songwriting, playing musical instruments, winning awards, looking perfect.  But now, a newly-released Grammy Awards promo shows the one thing that she pretty much stinks at: beat-boxing.

In the promo, LL Cool J, the host of the Grammys, and Taylor are standing in front of a huge Grammy statue.  LL starts beat-boxing and freestyling about Taylor appearing at the Grammy Awards.  Taylor attempts to join him, making attempts at producing beat-box noises and record-scratching sound effects, but failing miserably.   Finally, they both crack up and walk out of the frame laughing, with LL yelling, "Oh my God!"

Despite her beat-box fail, Taylor actually isn't bad at rapping -- her rendition of Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" went viral last year.  And who could forget her "Thug Story" video with T-Pain, in which she spit verses about baking cookies and knitting sweaters in her guise as "singer-turned-rapper" T-Sweezy?
