Taylor is releasing a new album, 1989, which is the year of her birth. Her hit single, "Shake It Off" is already arousing much criticism musically and politically. All in all, I was ecstatic to learn that Taylor had released a single and video, because she plays around and there's a lot of fun involved. As expected, Taylor didn't disappoint her viewers regarding the video. There WAS a lot of play/fun in it.
I think the problem comes from the shifting of perspective. I hear complaints such as; Oh, here's this good girl, i-tell-my-life-in-songs girl moving from country to pop. An all-pop album. Not that there is anything whatsoever wrong with pop, but then that's shocking. HATERS GONNA HATE.
Also, Taylor is trying out different forms of dance in her video. Why? She should stick to one instead of releasing a dance mashup video in which she does poorly in all? HATERS GONNA HATE
I however happen to just have ONE problem, Taylor. If you really don't like what people say isn't it easier to keep quiet than shake it off. Now i'm going to be the front runner for the 'shake-it-off' campaign when it regards lies and people who want to get you down. But, when a person tells her whole life to the world via songs and social media is it really alright that she then play the victim when those people give her a piece of their mind?
Now if this song had been addressed to helping the rife problem of depression due to all causes,(may Robin Williams' soul rest in peace) I would jump on the bandwagon of love, but by the tense used in the song and the categories of haters mentioned; the heart-breakers and players, it shows that Taylor is talking about none other than herself.
Anyway, all opinions don't matter as she's just going to:
SHAKE IT OFF. Because:
