New Music - Taylor Swift

You know, this is a pop music blog, and I started it to write about only the big pop stars and the lesser-known names that i felt compelled to share with the world, but over time other people have found ways to work their way in. Taylor Swift is one of those, the few who used to be in a genre I don’t write about here, but am now forced to.

“Shake It Off” is her poppiest song yet, outdoing even “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble”, which had bits of other genres--country and dubstep--mixed in. It marks a big shift in her career, seeing as she is finally giving up on the country world, which put her where she is now.

The song itself is an easy number one, what with it’s supreme catchiness and her star power. It’s just too easy to like and too much fun, mixing serious hooks and laughable Swift-y behavior. This is going to be a smash, and no one will be surprised. Now, does it deserve Grammys and such, well…
