TAYLOR SWIFT: Danger on the Road

There's a new warning for drivers -- don't get behind the wheel and listen to Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia."

A new study says that the hit could increase the risk of reckless driving because of its fast tempo and attention-grabbing lyrics. The key issue, according to the researchers, is a tempo above 124 beats per minute. And Tay's lyrics add to the problem, since people often pause to pay attention.

The research, published in the Ergonomics Journal, identified several other "danger tracks" from The Life of a Showgirl. These include "Actually Romantic" at a super-fast 170 BPM, the title song at 156 BPM, and "Opalite," which runs at 125 BPM.
