The Mannequin Challenge continues to solider on—you probably noticed your Facebook friends' middle-aged relatives finally getting in on the action during Thanksgiving—and Taylor Swift isn't ready to let the trend pass her by. She took some time out from Thanksgiving to post her own Mannequin Challenge to Instagram, and it features several of her famous friends. Todrick Hall, Martha Hunt, Leah McCarthy, and Lily Donaldson help Swift out, along with her brother Austin.

It's a fine effort—let's be honest, it's hard to make a Mannequin Challenge video with wow factor these days—and the group seems to be enjoying themselves. Swift even manages to work in a plug for Beats, owned by her corporate bae Apple, by posing with a Beats Pill speaker. They at least managed to finesse a nice beach location for the clip.

The Mannequin Challenge has exploded in popularity over the last several weeks. First started by a group of high schoolers from Florida, it's grown into a viral internet craze. It's certainly helped out Rae Sremmurd, whose song "Black Beatles" is the soundtrack to the majority of the videos. Since the challenge went viral, their song shot to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Rae Sremmurd's first No. 1 single. It recently notched its second week at the top of the chart, and it's possible even more are on the way.
