(L-R) Jacob Artist, Taylor SwiftJacob Artist is looking back at his time on Glee with a little help from a Taylor Swift trend.
The actor, 31, who played Jacob "Jake" Puckerman, the younger half-brother of Noah "Puck" Puckerman (Mark Salling) in seasons 4 to 6, joked about his time on set in a TikTok upload backed by Swift's track "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"
The track has become a favorite on the social media app. Users have taken a snippet of Swift, 34, singing, "You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" in the song to showcase their own version of an "asylum."

For his take on the viral trend, Artist created a slideshow that began with a selfie. The second photo was one of Matthew Morrison, who played the glee club director Will Schuester. The third photo showed the cast sitting in the show’s choir room.
To end the slideshow, Artist included a hilarious photo of Morrison, 45, from Glee's season 2 Rocky Horror Picture Show themed episode, in which cast members performed a rendition of "Touch A Touch A Touch A Touch Me."

One fan commented, "NOT THE ROCKY HORROR GLEE SHOW." Another wrote, "NOT THE MR SCHUE JUMP SCARE."
Swift previously spoke out about the song's meaning during a special listening experience on Amazon Music.
The pop star said she wrote the track while “sitting at the piano in one of those moments when I felt bitter about just all the things we do to our artists as a society and as a culture.”
The concept is referenced "a lot" in The Tortured Poets Department, her 11th studio album, which includes the track," Swift noted.

“What do we do to our writers, and our artists, and our creatives? We put them through hell. We watch what they create, then we judge it," continued Swift. "We love to watch artists in pain, often to the point where I think sometimes as a society we provoke that pain and we just watch what happens.”
