It's been a great year for Taylor. Her video for Shake It Off now has 370 Million views. Shake It Off was at the top of the Billboard music charts for weeks, until Taylor Swift topped her own song with her new song Blank Space which is now at the top of the charts The Blank Space video currently has 186 Million views.


To honor Taylor Swift on her Birthday, we'll talk about 2 Taylor Swift related YouTube videos. First, Shake It Off Outtake #7 where Taylor Swift dances with her fans. Taylor explains to the fans why they were asked to come. They had no idea they would be in her new music video! "You guys are like the climactic sequence ending of it. Throughout the rest of the video, I'm putting myself probably in more embarrassing situations than the entirety of my middle school experience. So just not fitting in, and making an idiot of myself. And then, finally, I find the people that I fit in with, which is you guys!" Moral of the story - Hang in there and shake it off when you're going through a rough period, and you can find your place in this world. Taylor Swift went through things that are similar to what you may be going through, and it worked out for her, so it can also work out for you. Find some good people to fit in with, and you'll get through whatever is happening, and find happiness in your life.


Check out this fun video in which 17 year old Mackenzie from Arizona dances around a food store to Taylor Swift's song Shake It Off!

Mackenzie, who also likes Demi Lovato and One Direction, had posted a few other videos like this one on her YouTube channel, but this video titled Shake It Off (Fan Made) was special because it caught the eye of Taylor Swift who Tweeted about it!

Mackenzie's video currently has 1.1 Million views! This is great publicity for someone who loves performing and aspires to be an actor. After you enjoy her store dancing, below, be sure to check our her Agent Showcase video from October 2014. It's great!

Taylor Swift Shake It Off Outtakes


Last month, I discussed the huge new hit song by Taylor Swift, "Shake It Off". Yesterday, Taylor Swift released a new song from her upcoming new album, 1989. The new personal reflection song, "Out Of The Woods," is a supposedly about her relationship with Harry Styles of One Direction. The video for that song is not out yet, although you can find lyric videos and other videos with the audio, on YouTube. Since we can't bring you an official video of Out Of The Woods, we'll have a look at some of the interesting, cute, funny and insightful Outtake videos that Taylor Swift made to give give a Behind The Scenes look at the making of the Shake It Off video. Taylor put out 8 Outtake videos and we'll look at two today.

The Animators

This video shows the filming of the video that features dancers known as Animators. Animation is a subclass of popping which is a jerky style of dance made up of many quick motions followed by poses. The animator variant is named in reference to stop motion animation popular in the days before computer graphics in adventure and monster movies.

The video starts with Taylor Swift in the most sparkly outfit she has ever worn and a wig so tight that it is giving her a headache. The purpose of the segment is the same as the purpose of the entire video. The idea being put forth is that there will always be others who have something to say about you or who are trying to do things to you. But Taylor Swift's advice is to ignore them, shake it off, and do you own thing. Make the moves up as you go, and totally enjoy yourself! This is not a new point of view. Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, "Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." It's not what happens to you, its how you react -- how you handle it, how you process it, what you do in response.

Taylor Swift finds herself among a trained and practiced group of expert Animator dancers. They execute mind blowing moves flawlessly. Taylor knows that these dancers are very controlled and precise, while all she is capable of is spastic motions. How will she handle this? She performs utterly adorkable dance moves based on whatever pops into her mind! She has this music in her mind saying it's gonna be alright. She may not be as good an Animator as the rest, but she is confident and knows she has other unique abilities, so she enjoys herself and that radiates and lights up the stage! She knows she is awkwardly ruining the great performance of the others but she is proud of her moves just like they are proud of theirs. Have a look and enjoy the Animators, and Taylor Swift doing her own dance moves! This 4 minute video already has 1.5 million views and it a must see for fans of Taylor Swift and fans of the song Shake It Off.

Outtake video #1 was the Cheerleader section. Taylor says that sometimes you feel like you don't fit in. But sometimes you can get everything you want in life without ever feeling like you fit in. The most important thing in life is to dance to the beat of your own drum and to look like you're having more fun than the cool kids! Taylor Swift prepared for the shoot by running to build up her cardio endurance. She had to do three straight days of jumping around! Watch Taylor and the other girls shake their pom poms and do various cheerleader moves including a basket toss where Taylor is caught by three guys; this is one fun video! It is nearly 4 minutes and has nearly 3 million views.

Taylor Swift Videos


Taylor Swift is coming out with her fifth studio album very soon! It doesn't have a name yet, but Taylor Swift will be Live on Yahoo in 3 days (Monday August 18th, 5PM Eastern Time) to talk about the album. Here's the link: https://screen.yahoo.com/live/event/taylor-swift

Taylor Swift is everywhere these days! She was on the Teen Choice awards last week. See the video below of Taylor Swift on The Tonight Show with Jummy Fallon, doing a segmant of the Ew Skit! She plays Natalie Benson - she is 13, and she likes to chill out all the time and eat apricots. She drew a Pegacorn! It's part Pegasus and part Unicorn. Taylor Swift is quite a cute little nerd girl with braces!

5 years ago, Taylor Swift gave us one very romantic song and video, "Love Story". It is about two young people who meet at school, prompting Taylor Swift to have a flasback to the early 1800's. She dances with her new found friend in her flashback, much like Mister Darcy would dance with Elizabeth in the Jane Austen classic, "Pride and Prejudice". In the song, the characters are named Romeo and Juliet, so there is the allusion to that Shakespeare play as well. Juliet's father tells Romeo to stay away from Juliet, but they do sneak off for romantic rendezvous. It all works out in the end!

In addition to a brand new album, Taylor Swift is also in a movie that just hit the big screen, "The Giver" in which she plays the role of Rosemary. This social science fiction film just came out on August 15th, is based on the book of the same name from 1993, and stars Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander SkarsgÄrd, Odeya Rush, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift. You can watch the The Giver Official Trailer on YouTube, here.
