“Where the Crawdads Sing” isn’t the only new film in theaters boasting a Taylor Swift influence. Taika Waititi revealed that the screaming goats in his Marvel sequel “Thor: Love and Thunder” were inspired by a video of a goat screaming mixed with Taylor Swift singing “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

In an interview with Insider, the director told the story of how the pair of goats were somewhat inspired by the 2012 viral meme.

“They were never meant to be screaming,” he said of the pair of magical creatures.

The chaotic duo from the comics pull Thor’s ship in the film as he (Chris Hemsworth), Jane (Natalie Portman), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Korg (Taika Taititi) embark on a journey to search for Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale).
