“Shake it off” is my favorite Taylor Swift song. It is on her fifth album, “1989.” The song was written by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback. It is an up-tempo dance-pop track, which is a departure from her signature pop-country style. It was Swift's second number one single in the United States and it won many awards and accolades. The song addresses Swift's haters and the rumors about her.
She has discussed the message of this song, which is let the haters go on hating because that's what they do, and the only thing you can do about it controls your reaction. It's about not allowing people to steal your joy. She has said about that song, that it showcases her sense of humor.
