The Real Meaning Behind Shake It Off By Taylor Swift

So, what's the meaning behind "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift? "Shake it Off is a song that I wrote about having to deal with on everyday basis, just kind of how human beings treat each other," Taylor explained to IHeartRadio in 2015, per ABC News Radio, "... You know, the feeling of humiliation is the same when a girl has a rumor spread around about her at school isn't true, is the same feeling I feel when I'm checking out at the grocery store and I read some crazy headlines about me." She continued, "rather than writing a song that was victimized in nature I wanted to write a song that was joyful and give people way to cope with whatever knots of ridiculousness life is doling out to them but also makes them want to dance." Preach!

Taylor Swift, who has been embroiled in feuds with stars like Kanye West and Katy Perry but emerged stronger with even more refined music, told Good Morning America, per Pop Crush, "People will find anything about you and twist it ... You have to not only live your life in spite of people who don't understand you — you have to have more fun than they do." 

Well, Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" is nothing if not fun.
