Facts about “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift
Shake It Off was written by Swift and renowned Swedish producers and songwriters Shellback and Max Martin, who has over the years co-written a number of hit songs with her including Blank Space and Bad Blood.
The song was produced by both Shellback and Martin. The song was released on August 18, 2014 as the lead single from Swift’s fifth studio album titled 1989.
About a year after the song was released, an artist named Jesse Braham (Jesse Graham) took Swift to court demanding $42 million from her after he alleged that she stole some lines from his song entitled Haters Gonna Hate. He said the hook in Shake It Off was the same as that in his song. Braham’s lawsuit was dismissed by the court.
Shake It Off is one of Swift’s most successful singles. The song reached number one in several countries, including her home country the United States and Canada. On the UK Singles Chart, it peaked at the second position.
And,,,,
Taylor Swift's single "Shake It Off" is all kinds of self-referential. She talks about her haters, her critics, her serial dating habits, and how she doesn't care what people say about her because she's going to "shake it off". Swift never really explains what shaking in off entails, but I guess it has a lot to do with solo dance parties and baking her feelings. The song basically calls out all the people who have ever said anything negative about Swift and her awkward dancing, seeming inability to stay in a relationship, and her problematic opinions on feminism. She wants us to know that she's cool being the only one dancing at the award show, and she doesn't care if anyone makes fun of her, because she knows she's awkward and wants to own it. She's just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake.
