Watch Alanis Morrissette And Taylor Swift Slay 'You Oughta Know'
Last night Taylor Swift reached into her bottomless grab bag of guests and pulled out one that seems a lot more appropriate than Kobe Bryant. Before Swift, Alanis Morrisette was the reigning queen of the confessional song that had everyone wondering which of her famous exes had done her wrong. So it makes sense that Morrissette joined Swift on stage at Staples Center to slay her famous "You Oughta Know" (that was probably about Uncle Joey).
Swift also brought out Ellen in a matching dress and she sang with Natalie Maines, too. But you came here for Alanis, so here they are from every possible angle singing their hearts out to her timeless rage-fueled jam:
