Why it worked
The humor comes from the juxtaposition of a casual, modern phrase with the overly formal and verbose language of legal jargon. It's relatable to anyone who has encountered legal documents and finds them confusing, while also appealing to fans of Taylor Swift and internet culture. The concise format makes it easily digestible and shareable.
