"Shake it Off" Taylor Swift
For the last blog I chose to write about "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift. I used to really like this song, but now I can not listen to the song anymore. This is one of Taylor's most popular songs, and it has defenitly been overplayed. She released this song in 2014 with the album 1989. She had a lot of hit singles on that album, she even won the Grammy Awards for album of the year with 1989. On this album Taylor has more pop type of songs, she have kinda lost her good girl image. And she does not really sing country songs anymore. One of the things I remember best about "Shake it Off" is the music video. There is a lot of things going on in the video, lots of colors, outfits and dancing. She have said in interviews that "Shake it Off" is about being okay with not being cool, or feeling like you do not fit in. It is also about all the critics Taylor have gotten from the media after being to open about her love life in songs. She tries to show this in the music video, and she is almost making fun of her self in an ironic way by shaking off all the critics and opinions by other people.
I was waiting for someone to write about this song lol, I also loved the song in the beginning but then it got so boring because it was overplayed so much. She is obviously a great artists but this song was honestly kind of basic in my opinion
SvarSlettI did this song for my blog post too. Taylor Swift is very iconic. There are so many people that listen to her around the world. It is nice that we reviewed her country and her pop side in this class. I do agree that this song is overplayed, I for sure know every word. I really like how you included her message of "being okay with not being cool." Great analysis of the song!
