Taylor Swift: Shake It Off Meaning

Song Released: 2014

Shake It Off Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stay up 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

[Pre-Chorus]
But I keep...

   This song it all about not caring what other people think of you and to feel free to do whatever you want without caring what others think of you.

   I feel like watching my dating life has become a bit of a national pastime, and I’m just not comfortable providing that kind of entertainment anymore. I don’t like seeing slide shows of guys I’ve apparently dated. I don’t like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. I don’t like it when headlines read ‘Careful, Bro, She’ll Write a Song About You,’ because it trivializes my work. And most of all, I don’t like how all these factors add up to build the pressure so high in a new relationship that it gets snuffed out before it even has a chance to start. Life and who people are can be greatly reflected in how they dance. I really think that…and I don’t mean how good you are, I mean your willingness to dance.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   The insults she gets just roll right off of her. Its like she's dancing and dosn't care who sees her or what they think.

   Its about how everyone shouldn't listen to the bullies and just ignore the haters. By shaking the hateful comments off their mind

   She ran out of material and she wanted to write a song about someone, so she wrote a song about her haters. XD Lol jk…(Probably) THe song's about ignoring mean things that people say to you and "shake it off".
   
   Finally! A song that's not about her ex-boyfriends!
   
   Very inspirational (But annoying) :)

    What I like about this song is that when Taylor is saying she doesn't care what ppl think, she doesn't hide it in lyrics that could mean a dozen different things. She's literally being herself, not making you guess if that's what she means or not. Also, is it possible to not dance to this incredibly long song? Or at least head bop? The only song I don't mind being stuck in my head, because it's a truly good song!
