Song Saturday (1): Shake it Off, by Taylor Swift


This girl is awesome. She has been one of my favorite singers since 2012 and I don't regret it. In case you haven't checked out her new song and music video, they're great. Like GREAT GREAT GREAT. And she even explains it on her live stream.

She named her new album 1989 because she is born on December 13th 1989 and she feels like she went through rebirth. She said she simply shook off the critics, which inspired her new song, Shake it Off. For the music video, all they did was take a bunch of pros and put her in the middle of them. And what I like is that the song really gets to you - the fact that she falls and does dumb things during the video doesn't make you think 'She's really stupid'. It just makes you think she's not perfect and she's happy with it, especially when she says, 

"The players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, shake it off"

That's just like saying 'everybody does their own thing and I don't care'. Some say the video is part improper, but let's talk about Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus... For them stuff like that isn't improper? All she does is show a bunch of twerkers do their thing. THAT'S IT. She isn't naked, you guys.

Good job, Taylor!
