Shake It Off By Taylor Swift: What’s The Story Behind This Song?

The American singer-songwriter was her message to her haters following the rumors that circulated due to her “Red” album, based on the article in Song Facts. “I’ve had to learn a pretty tough lesson in the past couple of years that people can say whatever they want about at any time, and we cannot control that. The only thing we can control is our reaction to that … You can either let it get to you … [or] you just shake it off,” Taylor said.
