10 Awesome Taylor Swift Songs That Aren't About Guys

5. Shake It Off

What It's About: Having Self-Confidence and Not Caring What People Think Not just for the veteran fans! Shake It Off exploded onto the charts last year making it the ultimate dance anthem of 2014. It isn€™t hard to see why Shake It Off was (and still is) insanely popular as Taylor takes to the floor to inspire others while making fun of herself, all the while her self-deprecating humour and infectious optimism is accompanied by triumphant trumpets and a sick dance beat. Taylor has described Shake It Off to be €œthe closest thing you€™ll ever get to a self-confidence song€ and that it€™s like admitting that even though people keep throwing punches at you, you can just keep bobbing and weaving. Taylor encourages her fans to not let criticisms and hurtful words bring you down while at the same time having fun, not caring what people think and refusing to take yourself too seriously. Overall, Shake It Off is a popular hit for a reason as it not only spreads positives vibes and perpetuates a great mantra to live by; it also gets you dancing after just the first five seconds of percussion.

Lucie mostly enjoys long walks on the beach and short walks to the fridge, while dabbling in a little bit of writing here and there. The quickest way to her heart is probably through chocolate, laughing at her terrible jokes and sappy electronic music... but handing her a cheque for £1 million would probably work too.
