Ian: The surprisingly radical history of "O Holy Night"

The clock switches to 12:12 am.
A grainy video appears on screen. Taylor Swift appears in what seems to be an ISIS bandana.
She leads the president into view he is tied up and gagged, she pulls out a large ornate scimitar.
Swift begins to sing a song from her new album.
