The video also includes the likes of activist Malala Yousafzai, Gangnam Style singer Psy, Game of Thrones' Jack Gleeson and scientist Richard Dawkins and was originally created to advertise the union to new students.
But now it's found a higher purpose. Union president Charles Vaughan is determined to lure Swift – an international cultural icon" – to Oxford's debating chamber.
