Artist: Taylor Swift

    I stay out too late

    Got nothing in my brain

    That’s what people say

    That’s what people say

    I go on too many dates

    But I can’t make them stay

    At least that’s what people say

    That’s what people say

    But I keep cruising

    Can’t stop, won’t stop moving

    It’s like I got this music

    In my mind, saying it’s gonna be alright

    Cause the players gonna play, play, play

    And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate

    Baby I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake

    Shake it off

    Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

    And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby

    Baby I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake

    Shake it off, Shake it off

    I never miss a beat

    I’m lighting up my feet

    And that’s what they don’t see

    That’s what they don’t see

    I’m dancing on my own

    I’ll make the moves up as I go

    And that’s what they don’t know

    That’s what they don’t know

    But I keep cruising

    Can’t stop, won’t stop grooving

    It’s like I got this music

    In my mind, saying it’s gonna be alright

    ...

    Hey, hey, hey

    Just think while you been getting down

    And out about the liars

    And the dirty dirty cheats of the world

    You could have been getting down to this sick beat

    My ex man brought his new girlfriend

    She’s like oh my god

    I’m just gonna shake

    And to the fella over there with the hella good hair

    Won’t you come on over baby we could shake, shake

    ...

    Background

    The song is the first track to come out of Swift’s highly anticipated new album, “1989.” Taking influences from Pink to Gwen Stefani, the song is the epitome of every defiant “pop anthem for the ladies” since 2008. Swift’s fans can take solace in the fact that it comes off as a little bit of a satire, but it doesn’t look like she’ll go back to singing country ballads anytime soon.
