Hands down, this is the best gift Abigail Anderson will ever remember.
For Anderson's 25th birthday, her best friend, Taylor Swift, had a huge surprise in store: a sing-along from her favorite singer-songwriter, early 2000s emo wunderkind Chris Carrabba, aka Dashboard Confessional.
Some of us may recognize Anderson as Swift’s date to this year’s Grammys. Anderson and Swift have been friends since high school, sharing laughs, heartbreak, and even playdates with Olivia Benson—often on each other’s Instagram accounts.The duo celebrated Anderson’s birthday over the weekend, and Swift had Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba perform everyone’s favorite 2002 high school make-out jam, “Hands Down,” an acoustic single from Dashboard’s MTV Unplugged album that got a rock makeover for the 2003 follow-up album. The track may be more than a decade old, but you bet everyone remembers every word.It’ll be tough to top this one next year, TSwift.
