'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Does Journalism Right With Very Unorthodox Taylor Swift Interview

T-Swift Didn't See This Coming

At the star-studded American Music Awards on Sunday, one man brought journalism to a new level: Guillermo.

Jimmy Kimmel's diminutive security guard/sidekick got access backstage, and decided to conduct a new kind of interview with the stars. Instead of sitting face-to-face, Guillermo asked the tough questions back-to-back, because frankly, the press has gotten too complacent.

Oh, and there was also tequila involved.

Check out the clip above to see Guillermo ask the hard-hitting questions to Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, One Direction and more with his back turned.
